Truthfully, Ye Yunfei had also heard of matters regarding the Ancient Covenant and had even investigated it for a period of time.
However, he found no trace of it. He felt this thing was too illusory and ethereal, most likely fake, so he let the matter drop.
He never imagined that he would actually witness the Ancient Covenant in this life!
*Poof!*
While the many powerful experts were staring dumbfounded, that golden hand trembled lightly and had already appeared in front of another expert.
This expert had also just emerged from within the Canghuang Realm.
"Spare my life!"
The expert was so terrified his soul nearly left his body, turning to flee.
The aura emanating from this golden hand was too strange, too terrifying, making this expert feel a dread that came from the very depths of his soul. He dared not face it in battle.
*Poof!*
The golden hand gently pushed forward, and a terrifying energy instantly shattered the expert into pieces, utterly incapable of resistance.
Then, this golden hand charged toward another expert who had just emerged from the Canghuang Realm.
"What nonsense is this shitty Ancient Covenant! I refuse to believe such superstitious trash!"
This expert was a burly man standing a hundred thousand *zhang* tall. His entire body was covered in explosive bronze-colored muscles, appearing incredibly powerful.
*Boom!*
This burly man raised a gigantic hammer with his hands, thick bolts of lightning coiling around it. He swung it toward the golden hand.
*Poof!*
The golden hand seemed unhurried, yet it was in fact extremely fast, sweeping horizontally. It directly smashed the giant hammer into powder, then slapped a palm against the burly man's chest, instantly pulverizing him into a mist of blood.
*Poof! Poof!...*
Next, this golden hand relentlessly pursued and killed the experts who had previously entered the Canghuang Realm. It dispatched them with one palm each, swift and decisive. In the blink of an eye, it had killed four more experts.
These experts were all overlords who dominated their own worlds, formidable names within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. Yet at this moment, they were weak as little chicks awaiting slaughter, utterly powerless before that golden hand.
"Run!"
The remaining experts were scared out of their wits. Not daring to stay any longer, they turned and fled.
Those experts who had entered the Canghuang Realm desperately escaped, even willing to burn their origin essence and blood.
Those who had not entered the Canghuang Realm were also fleeing with all their might. They feared the hand, if it got carried away with killing, might slaughter them too.
Moreover, the reason they had come outside the Canghuang Realm in the first place was precisely because they intended to enter it. They had simply been one step too late and had not yet begun to act.
If that golden hand were to hold them accountable, things would not end well.
"Who was it who said the Ancient Covenant was a fraud earlier, making me charge into the Canghuang Realm!"
"So the Ancient Covenant is real!
Violating the Ancient Covenant really does incur punishment!"
"From now on, I will never enter those lower worlds again. That's a gamble with your life!"
...
While fleeing for their lives, the experts inwardly roared, their faces all extremely grim.
However, no matter how these experts fled, those who had once entered the Canghuang Realm still found it difficult to escape death.
The speed of that golden hand was too fast. With a single, light tremor, it would invariably effortlessly chase down an expert and strike them dead with one palm.
A moment later, the number of experts slain by that golden hand had reached nine!
By this time, some experts had already traversed through layers of time and space, returning to the worlds they came from and hiding within the headquarters of their forces.
The Palace Master of the Heavenly God Palace had also, by chance, managed to flee back to the headquarters of the Heavenly God Palace in the Main World.
"My clone has finally returned safely!"
The Palace Master let out a sigh of relief.
He had not gone to the Canghuang Realm in person, but had sent a clone.
However, if this clone were lost, it would still have a significant impact on his true self. At the very least, it would take several centuries of cultivation to recover!
"Canghuang Realm, Ye Yunfei, just you wait. I will definitely have my revenge."
Recalling his experience in the Canghuang Realm, the Palace Master felt bitterly humiliated, a violent surge of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Considering his status and position, he had never imagined that this trip to the Canghuang Realm would turn out so disgraceful!
Most importantly, he did not obtain the Heavenly Dao Tower!
"The greatest aspiration of my life is to become a Heavenly Emperor!
And I can only achieve this aspiration by obtaining the Heavenly Dao Tower.
Therefore, I will never give up on the Heavenly Dao Tower, regardless of the means or cost!"
The Palace Master spoke through gritted teeth.
However, right at that moment.
An aura terrifying to the extreme suddenly enveloped the Heavenly God Palace headquarters.
A golden hand, which had somehow arrived in the sky above the headquarters, slowly descended toward the location of the Palace Master.
"It actually pursued me all the way to the headquarters!"
The Palace Master immediately sensed the golden hand, both shocked and furious.
"Activate the ancient palace defense formations!"
The Palace Master gave the order, sending a Sound Transmission to all the high-ranking members of the Heavenly God Palace.
*Boom! Boom!...*
Layer after layer of ancient formation light-screens, radiating an aura of the vicissitudes of time, continuously emerged.
These ancient formations had all been passed down through the ages of the Heavenly God Palace, safeguarding the headquarters' security. Though they had weathered long stretches of time, each generation of the Heavenly God Palace's leadership had poured immense effort into maintaining them. Consequently, the might of these ancient formations had actually grown stronger with the passing years.
However, the next moment, the Palace Master and the other high-ranking members were dumbstruck.
Because they discovered that the golden hand completely ignored these formations. Unhurried and calm, it penetrated layer after layer of formations, continuing steadily toward the Palace Master's position.
"Send the order! All personnel, form the Heavenly God Battle Array! Attack it!"
The Palace Master roared.
Immediately, the forces within the Heavenly God Palace headquarters rapidly assembled, forming several massive-scale battle arrays, attacking the golden hand with combined might.
The illusory forms of several ancient Deities materialized in the sky above these battle arrays, all wielding divine blades as they slashed towards the golden hand.
The next moment, everyone in the Heavenly God Palace was stunned.
They found that the golden hand completely disregarded their attacks.
Any and all attacks, upon contact with the golden hand, immediately melted away like ice and snow encountering sunlight, having absolutely no effect.
Soon, the golden hand began to approach the Palace Master.
*Swish!*
The Palace Master had witnessed the terrifying power of this golden hand earlier. Moreover, since this golden hand represented the Ancient Covenant, its origin was far too formidable. He simply lacked the courage to face it. Unexpectedly, he turned and fled toward the depths of the Heavenly God Palace headquarters.
A moment later.
The Palace Master arrived before a shrine deep within the headquarters.
"The 30th generation Palace Master of the Heavenly God Palace, Gu Feng, requests the revered Ancestors to save this unworthy descendant!"
The Palace Master directly charged into the shrine, kneeling before rows of memorial tablets.
At this moment, the golden hand also caught up, unhurriedly entering the shrine and moving to strike the Palace Master.
"It's the Ancient Covenant!"
At this time, from the innermost part of the shrine, two memorial tablets placed at the very rear simultaneously emitted shocked voices.
"The Second and Third Generation Palace Masters of the Heavenly God Palace pay respects to the Deities!"
Then, two remnant souls drifted out from these two tablets, respectfully bowing toward the golden hand.
"Oh?"
The golden hand finally reacted, emitting a voice.
"The founding generation Palace Master of our Heavenly God Palace is Gan Tianyi, who was fortunate enough to have witnessed the revision of the Ancient Covenant."
One of the remnant souls said respectfully.
"So that's how it is.
Your Heavenly God Palace is a lineage left behind by that little fellow.
That little fellow made contributions to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds back in his day. Today, his descendant shall be spared.
However, if there is a next violation, death will be certain, with no leniency."
The golden hand fell silent for a moment before emitting this message. Then, with a slight tremor, it vanished.
"Thank you for your mercy, Deities!
We respectfully send off the Deities!"
The two remnant souls cried out simultaneously.
"Gu Feng thanks the two honored Ancestors for the life-saving grace!
Honored Ancestors, what exactly is the origin of this golden hand?
Is the Ancient Covenant truly real?
Did our Heavenly God Palace's founding generation Palace Master truly witness the revision of the Ancient Covenant?"
Seeing the golden hand finally depart, Gu Feng couldn't help but feel elated. Recalling the words spoken by the golden hand, he was both deeply shocked and extremely curious, and couldn't help but ask.
"Regarding the Ancient Covenant, it's best if you never utter another word about it from now on, and furthermore, you must not investigate it. Otherwise, you will inevitably bring catastrophic disaster upon our Heavenly God Palace.
Also, you must never violate the Ancient Covenant again.
Gu Feng, I now doubt whether you have the capability to hold the position of Palace Master of the Heavenly God Palace. If you court such calamity again, the position of Palace Master will be immediately reassigned."
One of the remnant souls glared at Gu Feng. Then, both remnant souls simultaneously returned to their memorial tablets.
"Spare me! Don't kill me!"
At this time, the golden hand appeared within the headquarters of another major power, attacking a certain expert.
This expert had entered the Canghuang Realm and had only just fled back, never imagining the golden hand would actually pursue him here.
*Poof!*
The golden hand struck forward, immediately pulverizing this expert to death within his headquarters!
Not long after, a shocking piece of news that shook the entire Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds began to spread.
It was said that four renowned and prestigious experts, overlords of their respective worlds, had been killed within their headquarters by a golden hand!
These experts had all once entered the Canghuang Realm!
"It's the Ancient Covenant!
So terrifying! As long as you violate the Ancient Covenant, you will be hunted down, and it will not cease until you're dead!"
Many experts who received this news were scared to their bones, secretly glad they hadn't entered the Canghuang Realm at that time.
"From now on, I must absolutely not willfully violate the Ancient Covenant!"
Countless experts within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds were frightened, inwardly admonishing themselves.
At this time, within the starry sky of the Canghuang Realm, Ye Yunfei, the little girl, and Hun Lao stood silently, looking at the ravaged Canghuang Realm.
The Canghuang Realm was a lower world. Having been barged into and ravaged by so many powerful experts, space in many places had been shattered, filled with thick spatial cracks.
Endless Chaotic Tempest Winds surged out from these numerous spatial cracks, wantonly rampaging throughout the Canghuang Realm's starry sky.
Blood-red bolts of lightning continuously birthed, creating a terrifying spectacle.
Many star seas had been utterly destroyed, countless stars reduced to fragments, forever vanished.
Furthermore, a vast number of living beings had already perished miserably.
*Puh! Puh! Puh!...*
The little girl suddenly vomited mouthfuls of blood in succession, her face deathly pale.
The damage to the Canghuang Realm's space-time was affecting her own physical state.
Her body visibly shrank quite a bit, and her aura also withered considerably.
"It's fortunate the Ancient Covenant exists; otherwise, this Canghuang Realm would have been annihilated by those fellows."
Hun Lao couldn't help but sigh.
In front of those powerful experts, a lower world was simply fragile and could easily be destroyed.
"I will avenge this!"
Ye Yunfei's gaze swept out beyond the Canghuang Realm as he spoke slowly.
Ye Yunfei had recorded the auras of all those experts using a secret technique. Especially that Palace Master of the Heavenly God Palace, Ye Yunfei remembered him particularly clearly!
"Next, we need to repair the Canghuang Realm."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Don't worry, Uncle will help you and repair the Canghuang Realm together with you."
Ye Yunfei took the little girl's hand and said softly.
