Divine Replication System

As the dominant power on the Dongyuan Continent, even after a cataclysmic battle, it was likely that a wealth of treasures remained.    

These were the very treasures that martial artists coveted.    

Before long, the majority of the city's martial artists had grouped together, boarding their Flying Ships and setting a course for the Devil Cloud Sect's headquarters.    

A smaller contingent, however, dared not venture forth, intimidated by the residual might of the Devil Cloud Sect's domain and the possibility of encountering its surviving members, fearing death.    

They remained behind, awaiting news.    

Time slipped by silently.    

Following the withdrawal of the Emperor Level Flying Ships belonging to the six major forces from the Devil Cloud Sect, they made their return.    

The upper echelons of these forces imposed no restrictions on the dissemination of news.    

Most of the elite aboard these Emperor Level Flying Ships were prodigies of the younger generation, brimming with talent.    

Unable to contain their excitement, they eagerly spread the news far and wide, indulging in their penchant for boasting and gossip.    

As the cream of the crop from the six major forces, nearly each one boasted a significant reputation and influence across the continent.    

Numerous forces, sects, clans, and independent cultivators who were allied with them were many.    

Collectively, they could be said to encompass the entire Central Region of the flourishing Dongyuan Continent.    

Thanks to their efforts, the events that transpired at the Devil Cloud Sect were swiftly known across much of the continent.    

Even before they returned to their respective sects.    

Though they were merely sharing spoken words or written messages.    

Their standing and caliber were undeniable.    

With so many corroborating similar accounts, disbelief was not an option.    

In an instant, it was as though a Level 9 typhoon had swept across the continent.    

Countless martial cultivators and powers were left stunned and speechless.    

Upon receiving this information, it was clear that the Devil Cloud Sect, the unparalleled force of the Dongyuan Continent, had been annihilated.    

In a single day, not one had escaped or survived.    

The Devil Cloud Sect, once considered the mightiest on the continent, had previously annihilated numerous peak and late period Emperor Level opponents, causing the other five great forces to crumble under siege. They no longer dared to oppose them, focusing instead on their own preservation with their formidable protective formations.    

Lin Xuan's sword shattered their defenses effortlessly.    

The Devil Cloud Sect's numerous peak and late Emperor Level martial artists all perished.    

In the face of the elite onslaught from the five great forces, all the remaining mid and low-level martial artists were annihilated.    

This included the young novices who had barely embarked on the path of Martial Tao and even the servants who had never practiced Martial Tao.    

Not one was spared.    

The extent of the carnage in this great battle was evident.    

Despite being the strongest force on the continent, the Devil Cloud Sect had committed heinous acts, spreading terror and slaughter across the land.    

Thus, when word of the sect's destruction spread, few mourned its fall.    

Instead, there was a sense of relief and satisfaction.    

The Devil Cloud Sect's recent spree of annihilating sects had left many survivors with deep grudges, but they were too powerful to confront—until now.    

With their enemies now vanquished, the survivors rejoiced.    

What was even more astonishing was the turn of events during the previous Demon Aura siege. The East Saint Sect, Elemental Spirit Sect, and other top-tier forces at the same level as the Devil Cloud Sect had dispatched numerous peak and late Emperor Level warriors to storm the Devil Cloud Sect, intending to besiege it.    

Yet, they suffered devastating losses and were forced to retreat.    

The five great forces, their morale severely damaged, shifted to a defensive stance.    

However, in this latest conflict, the same five forces besieged the Devil Cloud Sect, which crumbled in less than a day.    

The stark contrast between the outcomes was staggering.    

After the Demon Aura siege, the five great forces had switched from offense to defense, and their strength was certainly not greater than before.    

Yet, they managed to obliterate the Devil Cloud Sect in one decisive blow.    

The pivotal factor was the sudden emergence of the enigmatic Lin Xuan.    

Upon realizing this, many forces and warriors were struck with awe and drew a sharp breath.    

His power was undoubtedly far beyond what they had imagined.    

It was highly probable that he had transcended the entire level of the continent.    

Otherwise, it would be inconceivable for one person to single-handedly reverse the course of destiny.    

The situation across the Dongyuan Continent was on the brink of a thorough transformation. The Devil Cloud Sect, once the continent's most formidable force, had been wiped out. It was doubtful that the remaining five major powers could withstand similar pressure. They were vastly outmatched, to the point where comparing them to ants wouldn't be an overstatement. All they could do was bear it in silence.    

Lin Xuan's reputation, thanks to the Elemental Spirit Sect, reached the elite of the other four sects and quickly became known across the continent. This time, Lin Xuan's fame truly resonated far and wide. Some even noticed that his name matched that of the once-renowned prodigy from the Elemental Spirit Sect, who topped the Earth Origin List. Yet, nobody made the connection between the two. The disparity was simply too vast. One was a young prodigy who might not have even attained the Martial King Stage, while the other dominated the entire continent, single-handedly obliterating the Devil Cloud Sect and commanding universal respect. It seemed impossible to associate the two identities.    

On the continent, where martial artists were legion, sharing a name was not uncommon. Meanwhile, Lin Xuan and his companions, led by Wei Zheng, set out directly for the East Saint Sect. Despite the considerable distance from the Devil Cloud Sect's territory, they were still within the same First-class State. Utilizing a teleportation array, the journey was swift.    

Every member of the group was at least at the late Emperor Level, deterring any potential challengers. Their passage was smooth and unimpeded, and in under half an hour, they reached the East Saint Sect's headquarters. The sect, much like the Devil Cloud Sect and the Elemental Spirit Sect, was established atop a vast mountain range. The area was rich in spiritual energy, with pavilions and towers stretching endlessly, painting a picture of prosperity that even surpassed the Elemental Spirit Sect.    

At that moment, the East Saint Sect had activated its protective formation, illuminating a white barrier. The sect's leaders, two at the peak of Emperor Level, stood suspended in the air. Below them, a multitude of middle and high-ranking King Levels were arrayed as if bracing for a formidable adversary. Clearly, someone had discreetly informed the East Saint Sect's upper echelons, prompting such a defensive stance.    

Lin Xuan and his entourage arrived, stepping through the air with purpose.    

They made a point of positioning themselves directly above the entire defensive shield of the East Saint Sect.    

From their elevated vantage point, they looked down with an air of superiority.    

Their intentions were clearly not friendly.    

Wei Zhengzhen, leading the members of the East Saint Sect, did not retreat back into their sect. Instead, they stood silently behind Lin Xuan.    

The East Saint Sect had fully activated their protective formation, illuminating the barrier.    

They would not open it again, not even for Wei Zhengzhen and his companions.    

Lin Xuan gazed down from the heights at the East Saint Sect below.    

"They've dispatched a Wei Zhengzhen, and within their ranks are two at the peak of the Emperor Level.    

One of the Demon Aura's encirclements has also fallen.    

The East Saint Sect truly deserves its reputation as a major power on the Dongyuan Continent, second only to the Devil Cloud Sect.    

Their sect protecting formation, though severely incomplete, still surpasses the Emperor Level formation of the Elemental Spirit Sect.    

It seems the rumors about the East Saint Sect receiving an inheritance from the Sky Origin Temple might well have some truth to them."    

A glint of speculation shone in Lin Xuan's eyes.
