As Tan Yun's words fell, everyone fell silent.
After all, the eight individuals who were about to self-destruct an arm held extremely high status; they were the Great Ancestral Patriarchs of the Eight Lineages!
Dantai Xuanzhong coldly observed the eight Great Ancestral Patriarchs, their faces ashen, and stated unequivocally, “Let’s begin!”
“I don’t want to hear your nonsense,” Tan Yun, whose injuries were not yet healed, replied with a pale face filled with coldness. “I don’t have time to waste with you. Let’s do it!”
“You little bastard, I, Wei Ye, swear that today’s enmity and humiliation will be repaid tenfold in the future!” Wei Ye’s heart roared with anger as his right shoulder snapped, blood gushing forth as his entire right arm flew away from his body.
“Bang!”
With a wave of Tan Yun's right hand, a burst of spiritual power enveloped the severed arm, and as it fell, it exploded into a mass of putrid blood and bone.
“Master, I am injured and must take my leave to heal!” Wei Ye turned to Dantai Xuanzhong and said respectfully before trying to depart.
“Stop!” Dantai Xuanzhong said coldly, “Did this Sovereign allow you to leave? Stay and witness the enthronement ceremony of the Young Sovereign.”
“I obey.” As Wei Ye bowed, he suppressed the impulse to sneak attack and kill Tan Yun!
Next, the Great Ancestral Patriarch of the Danmai, Jin Xianghai, stepped forward in mid-air and severed his own arm!
Jin Xianghai roared inwardly, “Tan Yun, the fate of offending the Golden Clan is death without a burial place!”
The Great Ancestral Patriarch of the Artifact Lineage, Zhongli Bo, conveyed respectfully yet fiercely to his disciple Zhongli Yuxin amid the crowd, “Miss, it is this old servant’s inadequacy; not only have I failed to dispose of Tan Yun, but I’ve also destroyed an arm!”
“But Miss, please rest assured, even if Tan Yun ascends today, I will definitely take his head in the future!”
Upon hearing this, Zhongli Yuxin glanced at Tan Yun and found him smiling at her.
She gave Tan Yun a faint smile and then transmitted to Zhongli Bo, “The matter of killing Tan Yun is decided by me. From now on, do not act against him without my orders. Understood?”
“This old servant understands.” After Zhongli Bo transmitted respectfully, he painfully severed his own arm!
At this moment, the elder of the Talismans Lineage, Tuoba Qingtian, twisted his features in humiliation and destroyed one of his arms. His strong old body trembled with indignation!
He was a renowned divine martial general of the Mu Wind Sacred Dynasty and also the Great Ancestral Patriarch of the Talismans Lineage; he had never felt this helpless before!
Even more frustrated and stifled was the Great Ancestral Patriarch of the Beast Spirit Lineage, Si Tu Wu Hen!
He was the former palace master of the Divine Soul Celestial Palace! Once, he was of equal standing with Dantai Yu!
However, he thought of his great-grandson, Si Tu Hao, who was killed by Tan Yun. With this incident alone, he didn’t know how to explain it to his wife, Zhuge Yu.
Now he had to sever his own arm again; the anger in his heart was beyond measure!
But the gambling agreement was sworn; he had to execute it!
“The death of my great-grandson, the vengeance for my severed arm, I will ensure that the entire Huangfu Sacred Sect accompanies him to the grave!” After Si Tu Wu Hen made up his mind, he severed his right arm!
Next, the Great Ancestral Patriarchs of the Wind Thunder Lineage, Zheng Long, Ancient Soul Lineage, Cao Yue, and Holy Spirit Lineage, Dongfang Daoyuan, all followed suit, destroying their right arms!
At this moment, the more than one hundred Great Ancestral Patriarchs from the Eight Lineages, previously confronting Dantai Xuanzhong, displayed various expressions—some were ashen-faced, while others were sweating profusely…
A foreboding sense of dread arose in the hearts of these elder patriarchs; they speculated that with Tan Yun’s character, once he ascended to the position of sovereign, he would surely take revenge on them…
