Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

The fluctuations of the Emperor’s Soldier swept across the sky and earth, the Eight Desolates and Six Harmonies, reducing the heavens to dust and shattering the ground in its path.

Guiyun Mountain, as the base of the Wang Family, naturally comprised more than one peak, covering an area of a hundred miles, marked everywhere with array patterns.

But these were nothing under the fluctuations of the Emperor’s Soldier, vast patterns of the Dao extinguished and exploded.

A sweep of the Emperor’s Soldier’s fluctuation obliterated the Wang family’s descendants, mountains burst apart.

"Roar... Wei Ran, you will die a horrible death!"

"You demon, you’re not human!"

Some cursed Wei Fan before dying, witnessing swathes of people being wiped out by the Emperor’s Soldier’s fluctuations before their eyes, leaving them nothing but to vent their fear with a shout.

It’s not that they didn’t want to escape, but they simply couldn’t. Compared to the speed of the Emperor’s Soldier’s fluctuation, a Martial King’s speed was like a turtle’s, even a Martial Saint’s speed was insignificant.

Almost in an instant, the fluctuation of the Emperor’s Soldier covered the array space, a Martial King was more fragile than an ant under its fluctuation, their Primordial Spirit collapsed before their body exploded.

"So ruthless, tens of thousands of people, Wei Ran is truly capable of such cruelty."

"This person must not be provoked!"

Onlookers from all around were chilled to the bone, not expecting Wei Fan to truly aim to kill all of the Wang Family. Among those present were people who had emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, yet such a scene still terrified them.

The Martial Emperor Array was shattered, the energy shield splintered, and the drawn Great Dao retreated with a rumble.

The ancestral land where the Wang Family had lived for tens of thousands of years, Guiyun Mountain, was wiped from existence in an instant; all its peaks vanished, the divine medicine planted, the Divine Que where they lived, the Hidden Merit Hall where cultivation techniques were stored, all disappeared in the fluctuation of the Emperor’s Soldier.

Some sighed, if these things were left intact, they would soon create half a Martial Emperor Family, but without the use of the Emperor’s Soldier’s fluctuation, "Wei Ran" wouldn’t have been able to destroy the Wang Family.

"You beast, I’ll fight you to the death!"

Wang Chuanxuan and others trembled all over, filled with both sorrow and fear, in a few breaths’ time, tens of thousands of the Wang Family were dead, only a few Great Saint powerhouses like them survived the fluctuation of the Emperor’s Soldier.

Others, including those few Pathway Condensing Martial Saints and Dharma Martial Saints, were all shocked to death by the Emperor’s Soldier’s fluctuation.

His whole body was cracked, blood flowed out; although he hadn’t been shocked to death by the large-scale fluctuation of the Emperor’s Soldier, these Great Saints had already reached their limit.

But they still dragged their injured bodies towards Wei Fan, determined to splash him with their blood even in death, they were ready to die.

"You’re not human, you’re a Demon Fiend. With the Wang Family annihilated, even in death we will turn into specters to seek revenge on you."

Wang Chuanting’s eyes nearly burst, his whole body cracked, resentment soaring into the sky.

"So sorrowful, let me send you down to reunite with your clansmen." Wei Fan’s gaze was icy, the Evil Qi behind him almost tangible.

Divine light burst from his hands, channeling the power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell, erasing the last few Great Saints, including Wang Chuanxuan, from existence.

"The Wang Family is wiped out, not one of tens of thousands spared!"

"The Five Great Domains will be shaken, such a Martial Emperor Family was exterminated just like that."

"Such a person, even the Martial Emperor’s Influence would not dare provoke, for he is lawless."

"Truly, which power nurtured such a ruthless character, previously unheard of."

From all directions, those who came to watch the battle only felt their limbs go cold, a chill running down their spines.

Although most of them wished for the Wang Family’s destruction, actually witnessing tens of thousands being slaughtered without hesitation still stunned them with "Wei Ran’s" ruthlessness and harshness.

"Hoo..."

The shattered sky gradually began to mend as Wei Fan stood beneath the starry sky, his flying hair quieted down, and the light upon him gradually withdrew.

His expression was cold, feeling a burning heat throughout his body, having repeatedly channeled the power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell, even though it was something he cultivated, he found it hard to endure, sustaining multiple internal injuries.

Since his debut, this was the first time he killed so many people, as many as tens of thousands. Although he had annihilated whole families many times before, it only amounted to a few thousand, at most more than ten thousand.

It’s fair to say that the total of those he killed before wasn’t as numerous as this time, truly like a Demon Fiend.

Yet he had no regrets, in this world where humans eat humans, demons eat humans, if he wasn’t ruthless, he would be the one to die; once provoked, he wouldn’t give anyone the chance to seek revenge in the future.

If it were sect-based influences, he might have spared the ordinary disciples, but for family-based ones, none could be spared, not a single one.

The scene before him resembled an apocalypse, the land desolate, essence qi exhausted, the Dao invisible.

Guiyun Mountain, originally one of the top cultivation holy lands in the Xining Continent, had become a barren land now, all conducive to cultivation utterly destroyed, beyond feeling.

Moreover, wisps of resentment and Evil Qi began to rise slowly in the world, as if the Wang Family’s vengeful spirits were about to reappear, starting to condense into dark clouds in the void.

All around, the countenances of all martial artists changed, with tens of thousands dying at once, all accomplished in the Martial Dao, their will power and abilities extraordinary, their unwillingness and anger before death started affecting the surrounding world.

If this situation wasn’t dealt with, something terrifying might emerge in the future.

"You’re all dead, yet you still wish to cause trouble!"

Wei Fan snorted coldly, his hands moved, channeling the power of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell once more, purging the surrounding world, evaporating all resentment and Evil Qi, restoring clarity to heaven and earth.

[Killed Wang Jinsheng, gained 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, 3,900 years of Martial Saint’s Power]

[Killed Wang Chuanting, gained 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, 8,500 years of Martial Saint’s Power]

[Killed Wang Chuanyang, gained 500,000 years of Ordinary Power, 10,000 years of Martial Saint’s Power]

...

[Ordinary Power: 20,110,000 years]

[Martial Saint’s Power: 41,200 years]

The fluctuating panel finally stopped flickering. Wei Fan glanced over it, his Ordinary Power exceeded twenty million for the first time, and his Martial Saint’s Power reached forty thousand; the gains were unimaginable.

That’s just from killing people; if he were to kill Demon Fiends, directly harvesting billions of Ordinary Power was possible.

Wei Fan glanced around at the people nearby, not staying any longer. He tore open space with his hands and plunged in, disappearing from Guiyun Mountain.

"Gone!"

"The Five Great Domains will certainly be shaken."

"Unbelievable, just days ago the Wang Family was a giant in the Xining Continent, who could have imagined they’d be annihilated today?"

"That’s why those with influence shouldn’t be arrogant, keep the sect’s disciples in check, who knows when they’ll provoke an existence they can’t afford to offend."

"The Wang Family died such a wrongful death, tens of thousands of them dead, and no one even knows how they provoked someone."

"The Zhou Family also lost a Great Saint powerhouse, such a fierce character, one wonders if they’d dare provoke them."

...

As Wei Fan left, the surrounding spectators started discussing, the shock on their faces hadn’t faded.

Soon, many people took out their Communication Jade Token to spread the news that the Wang Family had been exterminated by Wei Ran. Instantly, the entire Eastern Domain was shaken, numerous Martial Emperor influences were too stunned to utter a sound.

Some of the influences even issued warnings to their disciples on the same day, telling them not to provoke someone named Wei Ran.

"The Wang Family is really gone!"

Lu Shun’an trembled in excitement, being the only one who knew Wei Ran’s true identity, no one could understand the shock in his heart at this moment.

That was Wei Fan, not a descendant of any Martial Emperor influence, merely a person who emerged from the Land of Dao Collapse, less than four months since his sanctification, and single-handedly obliterated a Martial Emperor family.

This was an earth-shattering achievement, terrifying news.

The entire Eastern Domain felt as if swept by a raging storm, repeatedly shaken. A Martial Emperor family, with tens of thousands in the Saint Realm, and tens of thousands at least at Divine Realm Martial Sect, were all killed - it was a bloody and terrifying affair.

"So ruthless!"

The three Martial Emperor clans of the Eastern Domain all voiced such opinions in unison, even for such Martial Emperor clans, to destroy a Martial Emperor family with tens of thousands would need careful consideration, worrying about potential negative impacts. Yet that Wei Ran, reportedly killed tens of thousands without even blinking.

"I always feel this Wei Ran is related to that boy Wei Fan, it’s like he’s avenging Wei Fan!"

Xuanyuan Ting muttered to himself, this premonition grew stronger, especially after observing his great-granddaughter Feng Hua’s attitude; she no longer worried about Wei Fan’s whereabouts and started cultivating peacefully, which made him suspicious.

"Moreover, he also killed Zhou Chaowu, appears everything is done for Wei Fan’s sake."

Everyone knew Zhou Family’s Zhou Cheng Ancestor had a grudge with Wei Fan over his great-granddaughter Feng Hua, which explained why Wei Ran decisively eliminated Zhou Chaowu.

"Facing such a ruthless character, what stance will the Zhou Family take?"

Xuanyuan Ting looked toward the direction of Mountain and Sea Continent.

Wei Ran’s origins were too mysterious; during the Guiyun Mountain fight, even though many Great Saint powerhouses attended, no one could discern his affiliation with any Martial Emperor influence.

In the Eastern Domain now, as everyone was stunned, they were all curious about whether the Zhou Family, which had lost a Great Saint powerhouse, dared to confront Wei Ran.

"Wei Ran, why kill my Zhou Family elder; if there’s no explanation, the Zhou Family will certainly seek revenge."

On this day, the Zhou Family publicly called out Wei Ran, demanding an explanation from him regarding Zhou Chaowu.

Such words held three parts softness amidst firmness, many understood that the Zhou Family feared this lawless person Wei Ran, otherwise, given their previous strong stance, they wouldn’t have resorted to such comical shouting, directly deploying a group from the Saint Realm to eradicate the enemy.

No matter who you are, dare to kill a Zhou Family member and their powerhouses would sweep away the forces behind you.

But calling out like this precisely showed the Zhou Family’s fear.

If truly courageous enough to go head-to-head with Wei Ran, they’d have already dispatched powerhouses to hunt Wei Ran’s tracks, evidently, Wei Fan’s aggressive annihilation of the Wang Family not only subdued all Martial Emperor influences in the Eastern Domain but also intimidated the Zhou Family.

Only after the Wang Family’s extinction, Wei Ran disappeared from the Jianghu, no one saw his traces again, nor did he respond to the Zhou Family.

Some said he feared the Zhou Family’s revenge and went into hiding; others said he’d already left the Eastern Domain after annihilating the Zhou Family, still, others believed that during the Guiyun Mountain battle, Wei Ran suffered serious injuries and was recuperating in hiding.

After all, invoking the Emperor’s Soldier’s power so many times, even a body ascended to sainthood couldn’t handle it; once Wei Ran emerged, whether he’d confront the Zhou Family would be known soon.

However, before the Jianghu saw any news of Wei Ran again, everyone was drawn to another shocking news - the Jinzhou frontline was breached by the Demon Race.
