After the cheers, Qin Yang recalled the Ziwei Divine Sword and slowly descended to the ground.

The moment his feet touched down, the people around them surged forward, forming a tight circle around him.

"Young Master, it’s been hard on you."

Liu Wushuang walked forward, parting the crowd before him, and respectfully dropped to one knee.

"Sealing the Beast God... in five hundred years, you are the only one who could have accomplished it."

"With such a feat, it would be no exaggeration to call you the savior of the Human Race!"

"Yes! Elder Wushuang is right!"

Elder Li walked forward, trembling, his white beard fluttering with excitement. "Young Master, you are the great benefactor of our entire Human Race!"

"If not for your plan, all of us gathered here today... I’m afraid we would have become food for the Beast God!"

As his voice fell, countless gazes focused on Qin Yang.

Every Star Martial Artist’s fists were clenched, trembling with excitement and elation. The moment they looked at Qin Yang, it was as if they were staring directly into the dazzling sun.

It was a debt of gratitude for saving their very lives.

"Everyone, you give me too much credit."

"Successfully repelling the Beast God this time was not my achievement alone."

However, Qin Yang just shook his head slightly and smiled calmly. "If everyone hadn’t provided Star Force for the Star Array, I never would have been able to reach a Realm where I could match the Beast God."

Looking at the Star Martial Artists gathered around him, he continued, "We all worked together in this great battle. How could I dare to take all the credit?"

He was about to add something else...

But just then, a metallic sweetness rose in his throat. The energy and blood within him churned, bringing with it a sharp pang of weakness.

Qin Yang’s brow furrowed and his face paled for an instant, but his mind was quicker. He swiftly suppressed the discomfort to prevent anyone from noticing something was wrong.

After all, everyone was immersed in the joy of victory. It would definitely spoil the mood if they saw him bleeding.

However, that fleeting moment was still caught by someone observant.

"Senior Brother, how are you feeling?"

Li Zixuan frowned, quietly coming to Qin Yang’s side and supporting his arm. Understanding the situation, she sent him a telepathic message:

"Did the Beast God injure you just now?"

"I’m fine. My energy and blood are just a little unsettled."

Qin Yang shook his head lightly, patting Li Zixuan’s hand reassuringly. "I just need a few days of rest. I’ll recover quickly."

After the crowd’s clamor died down, Qin Yang ordered a Commander to dispatch men to stand guard and monitor the area. Then, with Li Zixuan and the others, he took off into the sky before everyone’s eyes.

He rode away on his sword, soaring on the wind for a thousand li.

...

...

"The bearing of an Immortal!"

"So cool! That aura is just what you’d expect from the Young Master of the Heaven-Blasting Gang!"

The Star Martial Artists who remained behind exclaimed to each other. Some quickly took out their phones and frantically snapped pictures of Qin Yang’s figure in the sky.

The aftershocks of today’s events were far from over.

Some Star Martial Artists lowered their phones, looked at the videos they had recorded, and, in unison with others, hit upload!

’The True Dragon Martial God’s battle with the Beast God has to go online!’

A moment later, video after video began to circulate on the internet.

The news of the True Dragon Martial God suppressing the Beast God spread throughout all of Earth Star in the blink of an eye.

It shot to the top of the trending charts!

The news spread across the internet like wildfire, and every netizen was discussing it excitedly.

[The Beast God is sealed! Heaven bless Jianghai City!]

[It’s all thanks to the True Dragon Martial God taking action this time. Otherwise, we’d all have been goners.]

[Build a stele! We have to erect an Eternal Life Stele!]

[So handsome! He’s so much hotter in person than in the pictures.]

[Boundless merit! I want to be a female disciple of the Heaven-Blasting Gang too!]

[Pah! Person above me, do you really want to join the gang?! I’m too embarrassed to even call you out. You’re just thirsty for the Young Master’s body!]

Overnight, on every street and in every alley of Jianghai City, Eternal Life Steles praising Qin Yang sprang up like a forest in front of every home.

At the same time, statues of him also appeared like bamboo shoots after the rain.

It wasn’t just Jianghai City; those cities that had once been ravaged by the Beast God also began erecting statues of Qin Yang to commemorate him.

...

...

「This day, in the evening.」

"Yay, I’m home!"

With a crisp, bell-like voice, the front door was pushed open.

Xiaobai walked in with her fox tail held high, a bag of groceries in her hand. She went straight to the sofa and excitedly pulled out an arrow-shaped plaque from the bag to show it off.

"Master, look what a great thing this Fairy bought!"

Qin Yang glanced at the object in her hand.

"An eternal life tablet? What are you going to do with this?"

"Hmph, what’s wrong with it? If other people can afford to worship one, why can’t our family!"

Xiaobai rolled her eyes, went to a conspicuous spot in the living room, and carefully set the tablet upright, muttering to herself:

"This Fairy is worshiping this eternal life tablet today. In the future, when Master achieves the Dao and ascends, this Fairy will be considered the very first Fox Immortal."

"..."

Hearing this, Qin Yang paid no mind to her little scheme. He just glanced at the eternal life tablet, looking at the auspicious cloud patterns on it, and couldn’t help but chuckle. He let Xiaobai fuss over it with great seriousness.

A thoughtful smile appeared on his face.

Now that the Beast God had been dealt with, Jianghai City had returned to peace. There would be no other threats in the near future.

He could finally rest easy.

But that being said, he still couldn’t let his guard down!

’There’s still the Blood Spirit Array...’

Qin Yang closed his eyes, and his Spiritual Power spread out, sweeping through the streets and alleys of Jianghai before locking onto the location of Li Shui Lake.

His only worry was how to solve the problem of the Blood Spirit Array.

Without the supply of blood from countless spirits these past few days, the imbalance in the great array under Li Shui Lake had become more and more obvious, showing faint signs of imminent collapse.

If things continued like this, he feared that in just a few weeks, the blood stored within the array would be completely depleted!

And the consequence of that would be the array grinding to a complete halt!

At that time, the ten holes in the sky would also be implicated and forced to close.

As Qin Yang calculated the time in his mind, his brow furrowed unconsciously.

If it really came to that, all the Star Martial Artists on Earth Star would reach a dead end, lose their Star Force, and be reduced to ordinary people.

’If there’s no Star Force to maintain my power, being number one in the world is useless!’

Qin Yang’s thoughts scattered as he pondered a solution.

Where could he find a source of blood?

’Should I resort to slaughtering the innocent like the Beast God Sect?’

’Definitely not!’

At this thought, Qin Yang shook his head, immediately dismissing the idea.

After all, he wasn’t some bloodthirsty person. He couldn’t bring himself to wantonly slaughter living beings as the Beast God Sect had.

Besides, killing countless people would be useless. It would only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. He had to find a continuous, renewable source of blood.

’Hm? Wait!’

Just then, something clicked in Qin Yang’s mind. He suddenly remembered something and abruptly looked up in the direction of the Da Li Mountain Range. ’Blood, you say?’

’Doesn’t the Beast God have a ready-made supply?!’
