The Yang-Dao Sect offered so 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 mont as the Pri 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 Pri 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 beca consud by a thousand-mile-wide cloud of darkness, enveloping both the Pri Shadow and his opponent. That cloud faded away a short while later, the Pri Shadow returning to the sect below with the head of his opponent in his hands.
At that mont, all resistance crumpled, and the Yang-Dao Sect was finally defeated, the remaining resistance rounded up and chained, their punishnts to be dealt out at a later date. A few monts later, a frantic Naelia ca 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 assud 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 tournant to those outside had gone dark when the Yang-Sovereign had started his betrayal, making it obvious that sothing 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.
The Yang-Sovereign, the most respected human cultivator alongside the Sword-Sovereign, had betrayed his own race, sacrificing millions in order to further himself. The official count of those who had perished during his betrayal ca to two million eight hundred thousand, with many of those being the youths of all the sects that had attended, greatly crippling their future growth.
No one could believe the Yang-Sovereign was capable of such atrocities. And yet, the evidence was overwhelming. The Yang-Sovereign was dead. The do of Yang that had enveloped the Yang-Dao Sect for millennia was gone, as the Nine-Petal Yang Lotus was no longer powering the sect's formations.
The Mage-Sovereign's proclamation of the events that had unfolded confird the truth of the matter, as none dared to doubt her words. A wave of horror and disbelief stronger than any in history washed over the continent, with hardly a soul not knowing of the Yang-Sovereign's betrayal.
Thousands of experts that had not been at the tournant flooded towards the Yang-Dao Sect to held with the aftermath of the worst betrayal in the Nine-Dao World's history, as now more than ever the human race needed to act together, as with the Yang-Sovereign dead and the Sword-Saint crippled, the human race was at its weakest in tens of thousands of years. As such, a coalition was ford, one created to get humanity back to its forr strength at all costs.
With the Sword-Sovereign in closed-door cultivation, the Mage-Sovereign was appointed as head of this temporary coalition. With her in charge, the human race began to work towards several key issues.
The first was the Yang-Dao Sect, which had fallen from grace. With the Nine-Petal Yang Lotus gone, it would never be the powerhouse it once was, but its foundations were deep. Even with the loss of the lotus, the Yang-Dao Sect was like a phoenix, capable of rising from the ashes.
The old leadership cleaned out, the Mage-Sovereign appointed Jaxus as the next leader of the Yang-Dao Sect. The position had been offered to Araxus, but he had declined, feeling that Jaxus was a more suitable candidate for leading a sect. The Mage-Sovereign appointed several of her key Mage-Dao Sect Elders to positions around Jaxus, with the task of restoring the Yang-Dao Sect to its forr glory.
While the powers of the human race worked towards restoration, another piece of information spread throughout the world, the information so shocking that most felt it more unbelievable than the Yang-Sovereign's betrayal.
The information had been contained at first, but with how many had been witness to it, it was impossible to keep the secret for long. Like a wildfire consuming an entire continent, news of John's battle against the Yang-Sovereign spread, reaching the most remote corners of the continent in days.
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 ca to doubt its veracity.
John Fenix, the unknown youth who had taken the Three Dao Tournant 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 beca 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 beca a bastion of hope for the older mbers of the human race, a hope that John could lead the world into a better future.
He beca an object of passion for the youths of the world, a figure that each and every genius strived to beco, 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.
