Chapter 5: Jun Family Assault

And at that moment!

Boom—!!!

As if billions of stars exploded simultaneously beside the ear!

A deafening, maniacal laugh, wrapped in overwhelming murderous intent and unabashed malice, like world‑ending thunder, violently shattered the Dead Silence and expectation of the core Forbidden Land of the Purple Radiance Divine Realm!

"Hahaha! Want to revive Ziyang Shen? Have you even asked the Jun family?!"

"Today... be annihilated! Purple Clan!!"

The voice rolled like a tide, ripping the stacked barrier of light that encircled the Ancestral Land of the Purple family!

Accompanying this arrogantly overbearing proclamation, wave after wave of terrifying aura, ferocious and cold like primeval beasts, surged in like a breaching Black Flood, brutally crashing forward!

Space was forcibly ripped open with massive gashes, and countless Dark Shadows stepped out from within!

The one who just let out the maniacal laugh was the Jun family's eighth Elder—Jun Tianming!

His gaunt frame was sheathed in dark‑gray, snarling battle armor; he wielded a bizarre bone staff coursing with foul Dark Blood, and his snake‑like Dark Eyes locked onto the brilliant, increasingly vigorous life light at the Altar's apex, his face showing unmasked cruelty and exhilaration!

Also present was the Jun family head Jun Linshi, whose expression was utterly cold as he stared at the Altar, murderous intent flashing openly!

Beside him stood the Jun family's sixth Elder, seventh Elder, and dozens of other Elder‑level beings!

Each exuded an ocean‑deep aura, Divine Power surging, surrounded by distinct terrifying phenomena—some with Xue Hai swirling, some with white bones paving the road, some with blade‑qi cleaving the sky!

They seemed like dozens of Demon Gods stepping out of hell, their combined pressure instantly dimming the purple glow of the Purple Radiance Divine Realm by a few points!

Following that came a sea of Dark Cultivators, uniformly clad in snarling battle armor engraved with the Jun family crest!

Murderous intent surged skyward like a cold steel flood, instantly turning this sacred core Forbidden Land of the Purple Clan into a battlefield soon to be soaked in blood!

"Jun Tianming!!"

"How dare you! Is the Jun family looking for death?!"

"Audacious rogue! How dare you violate our Purple Clan's Ancestral Land!!"

Ziyouming's roar erupted instantly!

His towering frame snapped upright, a colossal momentum capable of shaking the Star River erupted with a thunderous boom, forcefully repelling the oncoming murderous tide!

Behind him, eleven Purple family Elders, together with the twelve Elders originally guarding the Altar, now held nothing back; each bristled, Divine Power erupting like a volcano!

Anger!

Sky‑high fury!

Yet beneath this fury lay unprecedented solemnity and... resolve!

Arch‑enemy! The undying, relentless arch‑enemy!

The Jun family chose to launch a raid at this most critical, most vulnerable moment; their malicious intent was glaringly obvious!

They not only aim to crush the hope of reviving Ziyang Shen, but also to seize this chance to severely damage—or even annihilate—the foundations of the Purple Clan!

"Looking for death? Hmph! After today, the Southern Region will have no Purple family!"

Jun Tianming let out a snarling laugh, thrusting his foul‑blood bone staff forward, his voice like a bone‑scraping cold wind:

"Kill! Destroy the Altar! We must never let that cursed Ziyang Shen return!!"

"Kill!!"

"Flatten the Purple family!!"

The earth‑shaking battle cries erupted like a tsunami!

Jun family Elders instantly transformed into streaks of Destructive light, bearing a void‑rending shriek, hurtling straight at the Altar!

Their goal was crystal clear—interrupt the revival ritual and utterly erase that life light!

"Stop them!!"

Ziyouming's eyes turned crimson, his voice tearing like ripped silk!

He stepped forward, his Dark Shadow instantly appearing at the forefront, directly confronting the ferocious Jun family Elder!

A palm struck out, Divine Power cloaking the heavens, forming a massive violet crystal hand that eclipsed the sky, wielding Great Power that crushed stars as it slammed down!

"Ziyouming! Today is your day of death!"

Jun family head Jun Linshi stepped out of the Void, charging at Ziyouming.

Rumble—!!!

The clash of the two family‑head titans rang like two primeval stars colliding!

A terrifying energy shockwave swept outward instantly, shaking several nearby floating Divine Mountains violently, causing the rocks to fracture!

Had this not been the Purple Clan's core, with layers of seals, the aftershock of this single strike alone could have destroyed billions of miles of rivers and mountains!

Simultaneously, the remaining twenty‑three Purple family Elders boldly met the Jun family's other Elders!

In an instant, the core of this Forbidden Land turned into the most horrific battlefield!
