Chapter 313 - 300: Annihilation of the Clan_2
The Xi Family is currently in a crisis, and has naturally offered a reward of tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of Pure Yang Great Pills for assistance, but whether they will honor this promise after the crisis is resolved is a completely unknown variable.
Would one really risk their life to bet on the reputation of a major family?
Don’t be naive.

In the Northern Sea Star, those forces with reputations had been wiped out when they were weak.
For a moment, the cultivators who had been moved by the offer quickly became bystanders.
Some even pondered that if the Xi Family really couldn’t hold on, wouldn’t it be possible to fish in troubled waters and snatch some resources?
They dare not make a move in Haizhou City, but the Xi Family cultivators are also present in surrounding cities; it might be possible to take advantage of the situation there.
"Swoosh!"
A flash of golden light.
Yet another cultivator of the Xi Family with a Blazing White Golden Core perished on the spot.
And...
This cultivator with a Blazing White Golden Core was none other than the biological son of Xi Hong, a personage who achieved the Blazing White Golden Core after only a little over a hundred years of cultivation.
He had already been accepted into Dashang’s prestigious academy, similar in status to a True Disciple of a top Immortal Sect, only without enjoying the Sect’s offering of resources like a True Disciple would.
He had come to Haizhou City this time purely on assignment, passing by here to rest among his kin, only to meet such an end.
Instantly, Xi Hong couldn’t help but be filled with grief.
His offensive became even more ferocious.

Alkaid, with the power of the Two Realms Ruler and the Nine Transformations of Heavenly Movement, kept traversing the battlefield.
Seeing the right moment, Divine Sense once again enveloped the entire Xi Family.
"Xi Hai, since this matter started because of you, join me in soaring to the skies, let us settle life and death. Once you die, I can overlook the past for the people of the Xi Family. After all, I do not wish to completely antagonize a family with Hollow Void level power. But... should you persist in your delusion and desire to fight me to the death with the power of your Xi Family, then today in Haizhou City, I will not leave a single member of the Xi Family alive, annihilating your entire clan!"
"Alkaid!"
Rage flashed crazily in Xi Hai’s eyes.
Just at that moment, Xi Hong’s Divine Sense echoed in his mind: "Agree to it, delay for time. The family’s grand formation will soon be barely functional after repairs, then lure him into the clan’s domain, use the power of the Formation, and even if we cannot kill him, we can trap him to death, holding out until our kin from the Imperial Capital arrive!"
"Good!"
Xi Hai responded with Divine Sense, but on the surface, his ferocity only intensified: "A battle of life and death! Then let’s have our decisive battle! After this battle is over, regardless of the outcome, it ends here!"
As he responded, his figure had already risen into the sky, soaring upwards.
Alkaid’s figure followed swiftly after.
However, as they ascended a mere thousand miles into the clouds, Alkaid’s form suddenly plunged downward.
With a sweep of his You Long Sword, ripples in the Void appeared, and, seizing the opportunity, he even activated the power of the Dragon Steed Flying Boat.
Even just a trace of it, but with the power amplification of the Dao Artifact, the Two Realms Ruler’s ability was utilized to its limit, allowing him to step through the Void as if traversing it, directly appearing above Xi Hong who was preparing to repair the family’s grand formation.
The surging ripples of the Void further augmented the power of the Rip the Sky with One Strike, causing his descent from the heavens to climb to the pinnacle of power for this Supreme Divine Skill.
"Alkaid!"
This scene immediately caused Xi Hong’s eyes to almost burst.
Together, the two Deep Blue cultivators could barely fend off Alkaid’s Jianfeng. Now that Alkaid had suddenly separated them, and with his use of a method akin to Hollow Void traversing the Void to launch an attack from above, what did he have to block it with?
"You are despicable and shameless!"
Angrily, furiously, the Divine Sense exploded through the Void.
Carrying this intense unwillingness, the Deep Blue Golden Core cultivator fiercely counterattacked, colliding head-on with the Rip the Sky with One Strike coming from above.
"Boom boom boom!"
Xi Hong, who was at the very center of this explosion of energy, was ground to dust amid his anger and despair.
The very earth the Xi Family stood upon seemed to suddenly sink.
Immediately following, a ripple in the void that seemed capable of crushing everything burst forth from the center of their collision, lifting all the Xi Family’s constructions, towers, and palaces high into the air before tearing them into pieces.
Those lower and middle-level cultivators of the Xi Family, who had no qualifications to intervene in the battlefield, were also shredded into pieces.
"Ahhhh!"
In the sky above, Xi Hai, who had turned and plunged down, saw the scene of the complete annihilation of his family and let out a scream of extreme agony.
"Why! Why! Just for 460,000 Pure Yang Great Pills!? Isn’t killing two of my Xi Family’s Hollow Void cultivators enough? You also have to kill the Family Head and eradicate our entire clan!?"
This Deep Blue Golden Core cultivator’s eyes were bloodshot, as if he had fallen into madness.
"I gave you a chance, you wouldn’t listen, so now, this is the only way to make you come to your senses, it seems."
Amidst dust, flowing light, and blazing flames, Alkaid, who stood above the ruins of the Xi Family, slowly ascended once more.
"But looking at you, you still haven’t come to your senses..."
"Die! Die! You must die today!"
Xi Hai, his face contorted with insanity, unleashed his Divine Sense as the Deep Blue Golden Core within him began to collapse violently; at this moment, he was actually attempting to force a breakthrough to Hollow Void!
He understood all too well that without achieving Hollow Void, he alone, with his own power, would absolutely be unable to defeat this monstrously mighty opponent.
Hollow Void!
Only by forcing a breakthrough to Hollow Void could he kill Alkaid in front of him, could he avenge his previous humiliation!
Otherwise, even if he were to survive by some fluke today, after making such a grave mistake, the elderly Hollow Void ancestor of the family would surely not spare him!
"Break for me!"
One cannot truly live without being a bit crazy!
"Hollow Void is not something you breakthrough like this."
Alkaid saw through Xi Hai’s intentions and even the transformation of his Golden Core at a glance.
At this moment, with his belief of fighting to the death rather than accepting life’s uncertainties, the chances of successfully breaking through to Hollow Void could perhaps increase by ten or twenty percent.
Though an increase by ten or twenty percent was still only a thirty or forty percent chance, but...
Now, under the state of Supreme Detachment, he evidently wouldn’t give Xi Hai any opportunity.
He also wouldn’t allow any unforeseen variables to occur.
In such a state, he would cast away all distractions, desires, and employ every available method to secure the ultimate victory.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
The golden light from the You Long Sword, like a flying sword tearing through the surface of the sea, propelled a clearly visible ripple, driving the Void Surge and ultimately concentrating these surges of the void into one point, through the tip of the sword, fiercely striking Xi Hai’s body.
"No!"
Under the desperate shouts of the Demon Subduing Hall Master, his already slim thirty or forty percent chance of success with his Deep Blue Golden Core completely collapsed and ran out of control.
A bright Deep Blue light emerged.
In an instant...
Countless Deep Blue glows and energies spilled out from this ocean of Deep Blue, instantly filling hundreds of miles around, its brilliance even illuminating the entirety of Haizhou City.
As his body was utterly consumed by the rampaging Deep Blue energy, Xi Hai felt surging within him deep hatred, fear, and...
An ineffable sense of irony.
"460,000 Pure Yang Great Pills..."
Merely 460,000 Pure Yang Great Pills!
Yet they led the Xi Family, which once dominated Haizhou City, to such a demise.
Indeed...
Blinded by greed, foolish beyond measure.
