"Dragon King Sprays Water: Damn, digging their own graves—I've gotta hand it to the Clear Sky Sect."
"No-Shamelessness: Pathetic. Asking a bunch of muscle-brained folks to think is downright cruel. No wonder they're putting on such a spectacularly stupid show."
——
"Mind-Control Pill?"
No wonder…
Observing their smug expressions and cross-referencing March 7th's message, Wu Tong couldn't help but superimpose their faces with Lord Lao's (the Illuminated Fire Duke from the Star Rail universe—look him up if you're unfamiliar; the man's confidence is legendary).
The resemblance was uncanny!
Clowns truly existed everywhere.
Wu Tong shook his head, dismissing any desire to engage with them. These frogs clung to their well, blind to the sky beyond.
Surviving this long despite failing to grasp the power disparity was nothing short of a miracle. Even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had sensed impending doom and begun preparations, yet the Clear Sky Sect still dreamed of being the continent's top faction.
The sheer absurdity almost made Wu Tong laugh.
Stupidity wasn't rare, but stupidity of this caliber? A first for him.
With a sigh, Wu Tong turned and left the hall—unnoticed by anyone inside, a testament to the gap between them.

Outside the Clear Sky Sect, atop a small hill, Wu Tong watched its disciples fortify their defenses.
Words failed him.
This time, no evacuation was needed. the surrounding hundred miles housed only Clear Sky Sect members—his targets.
With a flick of his wrist, a barrier identical to the one used at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect enveloped the area. Without hesitation, he unleashed the Void Divine Sword.
A pillar of fire erupted, carving a new abyss into the Douluo Continent's surface. From above, it mirrored the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's crater symmetrically across Heaven Dou City—a sight even the most obsessive perfectionist couldn't fault.

"No-Shamelessness: Rejoice! The heir to General Tendo's will is born! Behold—"
"Passerby: Hey, hey, copyright fees, please."
"Dragon King Sprays Water: Uh… isn't this infringing on Tokiwa Sougo's rights? What's it to you?"
"Passerby: All Kamen Riders are family. Got a problem?"
"Slime King: No problem, but you've kinda… strayed from the path. Just me?"
"Camera Princess: Not just you."

Ignoring the derailed chat, Wu Tong gazed impassively at the apocalyptic scene.
With a thought, the Nether Soul (artifact spirit of the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls) materialized. Recognizing its task, it waved the tiny banner, releasing endless black mist and vengeful spirits that surged toward the barrier.
Inside, thousands of ethereal souls—Clear Sky Sect members—slammed against the barrier, desperate to escape.
But Wu Tong's barriers were designed to trap souls.
Panic ensued as the vengeful spirits closed in, drowning the sect in despair.

Live Chat:
"No-Shamelessness: Efficient. Kill, burn, scatter ashes, and collect souls? If the last step weren't purification, I'd swear Brother Tong was Li Changshou reborn."
"No-Shamelessness: With this workflow, you'd make a killing as a demonic cultivator."
"Dragon King Sprays Water: Gotta admit, the barrier's functionality is next-level. Thorough as hell."
"Dragon King Sprays Water: Even without cheats, Wu Tong's protagonist energy is solid."

Below, the annihilation continued until a voice rang out:
"Clear Sky warriors! Even in death, we fight! Tear a chunk out of that bastard!"
Wu Tong glanced over. It was Tang Xiao, the sect leader, now a disembodied soul but finally lucid.
"Follow the leader! Bite them till the end!"
Roars erupted as the souls rallied, charging the vengeful horde.
Futile.
Wu Tong's Banner of Ten Thousand Souls wasn't some generic artifact. He'd enhanced its soul-capturing abilities to ludicrous levels—even the weakest vengeful spirit could subdue a soul two tiers stronger.
One by one, the Clear Sky souls were seized, destined for conversion once the barrier lifted.
Only the elders and Tang Xiao remained.

"Crimson Herrscher: …"
The desperate, hopeless struggle stirred Fu Hua's memories of the Previous Era's final battle.
"Skybase King: Soul capture, imprisonment, binding, soul barrier…"
