Ikuya's Conviction.

Ikuya stretched his hand and a suction force appeared on his palm as a middle aged man with a cultivation of Spirit Profound Realm was drawn out of his hiding as he was caught by his neck.

" Don't you dare!" A Sky Profound Realm expert came out of the Jian clan Manor, shocking every spectator. They all thought that Jian clan only had two Sky Profound Realm experts who were killed by Ikuya, but never expected one more to be hiding in the Jian clan Manor, waiting for an opportunity to sneak up on Ikuya.

The moment these words came out, a huge palm instantly headed for Ikuya, wanting to grab him alive.

This was a Profound Art!

Ikuya didn't even bat an eye in the face of this Sky Profound Realm expert's palm, he still stood there motionlessly. At the same time, Meng Yin and Yuan Shen became quite startled.

*Splat!*

But before the gigantic palm could catch Ikuya, sound of small frequency was heard, and this Sky Profound Realm expert's body exploded and was instantly turned into a bloody mist. He didn't even have time to scream and he didn't know how he had died.

At that time, his eyes were still glaring at his opponent, yet they were filled with fear. He failed to see how the opponent made a move even at the second of his death.

This is one of the techniques, Ikuya usually uses to kill small fries. Molecular Combustion.

After fusing with Yuan Lei's soul, Ikuya's mental energy has grown a lot. Any below Emperor Profound Realm can be obliterated with just a thought by Ikuya.

At this moment, people were gasping with their mouths opened wide enough to fit an egg. They couldn't calm down and their minds were completely empty.

This was a Sky Profound Realm expert! An individual of very high status in the entire Blue Wind Empire. However, he died just like that without a chance to fight back. How could the spectators not be shocked!

The middle aged man in Ikuya's grasp was frightened to the core. He would have already pissed his pants, if not for the fact that he feared that Ikuya would kill him instantly if he were to do such a thing.

Ikuya looked at the middle aged man and said, " I'll ask questions and you'll answer it without any deceit. Otherwise, my hands might slip a bit and you should aware of what sort of results it will lead to, don't you?"

A brown haired young man who seemed to be in his twenties was watching 'Yuan Lei' threatening his father while clenching his fists tightly. He was restraining himself from making a wrong mistake that could cost his life.

The middle aged man said stutteringly, " Y-Yes...."

" Where's your Clan's treasury?" Ikuya asked with a casual tone.

Everyone had their mouth wide open in shock, not sure they heard Ikuya's words right.

The middle aged man was startled. He knew what Ikuya was upto. Ikuya intended to plunder the Jian clan of their wealth.

The middle aged man was obviously not going to say it. They've already lost all their powerhouses and has fallen to a very low level. If the Jian clan loses their wealth as well, then Jian clan would become an ordinary mortal clan.

With this line of thinking, the middle aged man managed to calm down and shuddered with a blanched expression before stuttering, " My, my daughter is the disciple of the seventh elder of, of Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, an, an invincible Sovereign. If you, you dare…"

*Crack!*

A bone breaking sound echoed as Ikuya broke the neck of the middle aged man before he could finish his sentence.

" Why always clichéd lines? Use something else for a change, damn it!" Ikuya grumbled.

After seeing this scene, whether it was the spectators or Yuan Shen and Meng Yin, all were standing there looking silly without being able to speak.

At this point, all the profound practitioners of Jian were killed entirely. Not even one profound practitioner managed to leave alive!

At this moment, all were petrified and unable to calm down, including Yuan Lei's parents. There were no thoughts running in their minds, only emptiness could be found.

No one thought that things would happen like this or that it would end in such a manner.

The brown haired man who was the middle aged man's son almost lost control of himself and exposed himself before Ikuya, but managed to control himself.

' I can't be killed today! I must get strong and kill him and his entire family!' The young man, whose name is Jian Wuyang, thought while suppressing his killing intent in order to not let Ikuya discover him.

Ikuya turned around as he sensed someone being hostile towards him, although the individual seems to be trying hard to hide their hostility.

" Hm?" Ikuya was slightly surprised by the person he saw. It was the one who always tried to make moves on his 'sister' and also the one who is supposedly a main culprit who backstabbed the original Yuan Lei, causing his death.

" Well, look who it is..... Brother Wuyang." Ikuya said with a 'cheerful' smile as he instantly appeared in front of the man who was shivering in fear and unwillingness.

" Yu-Yuan Lei.... Do-Don't take this too f-far..." Jian Wuyang said while clenching his fists and gritting his teeth.

" Come now. We're old buddies, aren't we? So, for old times sake, I have to ask you something?" Ikuya still asked with his 'cheerful' smile.

" W-W-What...?" Jian Wuyang stutteringly asked.

" Don't be so nervous now, it's nothing serious really. It's just...." Ikuya paused then his 'cheerful' smile faded as he continued, " How did it feel to kill me?"

" Ahhh---AAAHHHH!!!" Jian Wuyang screamed in fright as he stumbled backwards.

Yuan Shen's face fell and Meng Yin was already in tears when she heard Ikuya's words.

" Come now, don't be like that. Tell me... How did it feel to dissect my entire body? I'm really curious." Ikuya asked.

Meng Yin lost her consciousness when she heard this and even Yuan Shen who was supporting his wife almost lost his balance.

" If you don't answer, I'll kill your mother next. Trust me, she won't get an easy death like your father." Ikuya said in a chilly tone.

Jian Wuyang clenched his fists in fury as he thought about how his father was killed by the blue-eyed youth in front of him.

" You bastard!! I'll kill you-"

*Slap!*

A palm slapped violently on Jian Wuyang's face. The sound of the slap reverberated throughout the place. This slap caused Jian Wuyang to circle three rounds on where he stood.

Jian Wuyang's face was filled with anger, but he didn't choose to fight back, because he was certain that he was absolutely not an opponent for Ikuya, even with his Spirit Profound Realm cultivation base. If he resisted, Ikuya would likely crush him to death with a finger.

" What's wrong? You seem very upset that I have slapped you." Ikuya smiled and sent another slap.

*Slap!*

Another side of Jian Wuyang's face was slapped, causing him to spin three rounds once more.

" Isn't it normal for buddies to slap each other? You're free to slap me as well." Ikuya laughed as he continued with his assault.

*Slap!* *Slap!* *Slap!*

Next, Ikuya kept on attacking. His palms launched at Jian Wuyang's face like fireworks. Jian Wuyang was helpless. After a few dozen slaps, Jian Wuyang's face changed completely, turning into something that looked like a pig's head. He couldn't even stand properly.

" Since we've been buddies for quite a while now. I even supported you pursuing my sister. I can't find myself to kill you, no matter how I seem to hate you." Ikuya said, regretfully shaking his head.

Jian Wuyang's expression turned to that of hopeful one.

' Just wait! I'll definitely kill you and avenge my father!!' Jian Wuyang thought as he wryly smiled on the outside.

" Still I'll give you a small punishment, since I'll feel like I'm being unfair to others." Ikuya said which made the crowd unable to respond.

" Phew..." Ikuya let out a breath and closed his eyes for a second. His expression and aura became very calm.

This is the most important requirement to using the power of Genetic Access!

A calm state of mind!

Ikuya opened his eyes and looked at Jian Wuyang as his blue eyes shined with light blue radiance.

' DNA Overwrite.' Ikuya said in his mind.

Jian Wuyang's body stiffened as he felt a mysterious force invade his body and he was unable to resist it.

Suddenly, a great amount of profound energy burst out of Jian Wuyang's body as Jian Wuyang's expression became that of utter shock.

" No! Don't leave me, my cultivation! No!! No!!!" Jian Wuyang screamed as he was futilely try to get back the profound energy back into his body.

In a matter of five minutes, Jian Wuyang's cultivation was completely gone.

" Y-You....!! You crippled my profound veins??!!" Jian Wuyang shouted as he charged at Ikuya in madness.

Ikuya simply flicked the forehead of Jian Wuyang with his finger, sending him flying back a bit, not enough to deal much harm to him.

" Cripple your profound veins? I wouldn't do something so half-assed." Ikuya smiled in disdain.

' Then what did you do?!' was the question in everyone's mind.

" I simply... Erased them." Ikuya said, but Jian Wuyang had already lost consciousness.

Ikuya smiled and turned around, resuming towards Jian clan Manor.

If one's profound veins are crippled, they're not completely irreparable. But it was not the same here. Jian Wuyang's profound veins are gone. Gone forever. Even gods cannot help him!

In other words, Jian Wuyang would have been better off dying than living like this.

Ikuya overwrote Jian Wuyang's DNA, completely erasing the bodily trait of Profound Veins, hence reconstructing Jian Wuyang's body and erasing the profound veins themselves.

Ikuya suddenly sensed something was going on with the white pearl inside his mind.

Strangely, Ikuya could see that the White pearl within his mind was absorbing the remnant energy of every life he killed and the silver radiance was shining even brighter.

Ikuya ignored it for now and made a grabbing motion as many rings started to fly towards him from among the bloody corpses. These were all Storage rings.

Ikuya didn't harm the common mortal residents of the Jian Clan as they had nothing to do with him and were innocents. He only killed all the cultivators of Jian clan who wanted his predecessor dead, effectively destroying the Jian clan.

A drop of blood and a storage ring floated in front of Ikuya. This was a drop of blood of the dead Jian Clan's Clan head.

Ikuya used 'Genetic Access' and retrieved only a little bit of information stored in it as he isn't interested in knowing the guy's entire history.

Ikuya got what he wanted. The location of the clan treasury and its details.

Ikuya was pleasantly surprised as he found out that the Jian Clan's clan head's storage ring contained 17 million purple profound coins, in the form of purple cards.

Ikuya teleported to the treasury, ignoring all the locks and security of the clan treasury.

The crowd outside were startled by Ikuya's sudden disappearance.

Inside the Jian clan treasury.

A mountainous pile of crystal coins was stacked neatly in a corner. These crystal coins were purple profound coins. Millions of them.

A bookshelf made from rare metal held several dozen books in a neat fashion. Every single one of them was extremely crude and riddled with the marks of time, having existed for countless years without being destroyed. They were all profound arts and profound skills.

He found several Earth Grade weapons and even one Sky profound weapon. There was 34 kilograms of Purple Veined Heaven Crystals, the inferior version of Purple Veined Divine Crystals.

There were plenty of rare herbs and materials and many medicinal pellets. Though, Ikuya had no idea what to do with all these.

" As expected of one of the most powerful clan in Blue Wind Empire! So rich!" Ikuya said with a smile as he collected everything in the treasury into his pocket dimension without wasting any time.

Ikuya then cleaned himself of the blood and was now good as new.

After clearing the treasury, Ikuya walked towards the door of the treasury and saw that the material used to make the door is not bad, even Emperor Profound Realm experts will have some hard time breaking this door.

*Boom!*

Ikuya blasted the door open and walked out of the treasury and then walked into the Jian Clan's courtyard. He saw many ordinary humans, most of them only at Elementary Profound Realm. They were looking fearfully at Ikuya, shivering in fear. Some had already pissed their pants.

Ikuya gave them a glance then towards the place where the crowd is situated outside. His heart trembled for a moment when he thought of the tears in his 'Mother' s face.

Ikuya made up his mind and immediately teleported back to the Xia Manor. He didn't want to meet his 'parents' as he didn't want to feel uncomfortable again.

Within him, there was a part of him urging him to go to the 'parents', but he didn't succumb to it.

" I've always had a conviction. As if I'd abandon my conviction this late in the game."

He feared that if he got close to his 'family', he might lose the conviction he always upheld.
