Chapter 1143 News Spreading Like Wildfire

The Yang-Dao Sect offered some resistance initially, led by Seraphia, who was unable to yield when so close to becoming the ultimate power in the Nine-Dao World.

Despite having several Early Holy Manifestation cultivators and one Middle Holy Manifestation cultivator, the resistance was crushed in nearly a moment as the Prime Shadow and Mage-Sovereign vented their fury, annihilating thousands in an instant.

The strongest of the resistance, the Middle Holy Manifestation cultivator, was grabbed by the Prime Shadow before he could react, then dragged face-in-hand up into the sky, their battle taking place hundreds of miles in the sky where their powers couldn't harm the others.

The sky became consumed by a thousand-mile-wide cloud of darkness, enveloping both the Prime Shadow and his opponent. That cloud faded away a short while later, the Prime Shadow returning to the sect below with the head of his opponent in his hands.

At that moment, all resistance crumpled, and the Yang-Dao Sect was finally defeated, the remaining resistance rounded up and chained, their punishments to be dealt out at a later date. A few moments later, a frantic Naelia came rushing towards the group, tears streaking from her face, relief appearing as she saw Zuri, Araxus, and the others.

That relief vanished as she saw John's condition, her face turning as white as snow.

After the resistance was squashed and control over the Yang-Dao Sect assumed by the Mage-Sovereign, the news of the events that had occurred spread like wildfire across the entire continent.

The viewing formation screens that had shown the tournament to those outside had gone dark when the Yang-Sovereign had started his betrayal, making it obvious that something had gone wrong. No one expected the severity of what had truly happened, and almost no one could believe what they were hearing was the truth.

Within a week, almost every single human on the Nine-Dao World had heard of the most impossible battle to ever exist. A battle between a pinnacle powerhouse of the world, a Late Holy Manifestation cultivator, one who had other powerhouses dancing in the palm of his hands, and an unknown youth, one barely touching the Late Dao Transformation realm.

A youth with impossible strength, winning an impossible battle. It was a story so mythical that it eclipsed the stories told as legends to youths of the world, of heroes battling against all odds, struggling with everything they had against beasts and devils, winning out in the end.

It was so impossible that most doubted its veracity at first, considering it to be a tale made up to make the Sovereign's betrayal more exciting. However, the fact that the Mage-

Sovereign and the other powerhouses didn't decry the story as false was telling enough, and soon, none came to doubt its veracity.

John Fenix, the unknown youth who had taken the Three Dao Tournament by storm, had unleashed a strength so heaven-

defying that he was able, with the help of the Sword-Saint, to battle against the weakened Yang-Sovereign, killing him and saving millions, and perhaps more.

Thus, over the span of a single week, John became a figure of unprecedented status, a figure of legend and myth, one that the entire human race could only look up to with awe and wonder. He became a bastion of hope for the older members of the human race, a hope that John could lead the world into a better future.

He became an object of passion for the youths of the world, a figure that each and every genius strived to become, so that they could one day save the world in a similar manner.

Eventually, the news of the Yang-Sovereign's betrayal and the battle that had occurred spread beyond the confines of the human continent, the story too important to be contained to the human continent. The news of the battle spread across water and land, reaching the ears of those on the Beast and Devil continents, and the powerhouses ruling them.
