When everyone was confused as to why the old man had fallen unconscious, Xiao Tian's voice echoed again from the fourth floor. “Do you think I didn’t hear your conversation before entering the shop? And do you think I don’t know what you did after coming in? You came here deliberately to stir up trouble, while that one old scoundrel snuck into the storage room to steal. Did you think the Lantian Shop could be so easily robbed in broad daylight? Now leave and deliver my message to your Patriarch!”

The man said nothing more. Realizing his plan had been exposed, he immediately grabbed the dying old man.

Bang—

However, before he could leave, the dying old man suddenly exploded into a mist of blood. Xiao Tian’s voice rang out coldly. “I told you to leave, not to take him with you. Now get out of my shop!”

After the members of the Yao Clan left, Xiao Tian spoke again, “I appreciate your enthusiasm, but don’t cause a disturbance. If you need anything, discuss it with Lao Xun.”

    “The Clan Leader, this is my great fortune. The owner of Lantian Store gave me several pills, including a high-grade Ancestral Pill, which allowed this humble one to break through to the fourth rank of Martial Immortal,” he replied respectfully, fully aware of the patriarch’s high status. According to rumors, this man had reached the Yin Realm, an impressive achievement within the Zhao Clan.“Oh, that young man can also provide high-grade pills. Now, tell me the purpose of your visit. Did he send you here?” asked the Zhao Clan Leader.“Yes, sir. I was instructed to deliver Elder Zhao Guang’s order.”Zhao Guang immediately stood up. “Wasn’t he supposed to deliver it when his store reopened?”Zhao Wei quickly explained everything in detail. After hearing his explanation, Zhao Guang gave the order, “Show me the delivery.”Without delay, Zhao Wei presented all the items, including a golden box that stood out. While handing it over, Zhao Wei added, “Elder, this golden box is a gift from th

    "How could this happen?! Our Yao Clan is not like the Xiang Clan from Zhao City. Although we share the same status, the strength of our Yao Clan is comparable to ruling clans. Yao Ye, take 100 Ninth-Rank Martial Ancestors and lead them yourself. I refuse to believe anyone can stop you. Let everyone know the consequences of daring to kill a member of my Yao Clan, especially a boy who dares to threaten us!"Yao Ye immediately obeyed the patriarch's orders. He had reached the First Rank Yin Realm and was also a mid-level Alchemist Ancestor. His name was widely known, even in Zhao City, though it was not his hometown.Three days later, the number of pills he refined reached millions. After advancing to the Zuxian level, refining low, medium, and high-grade ancestral pills took only minutes. The same went for weapons, array flags, and runes—all now counted in the millions.However, what truly satisfied Xiao Tian was not the sheer number of pills but the continuous visits from Lao Xun, who

    Without delay, Xiao Tian formed a series of hand seals and began refining each pearl. The previously transparent pearls gradually changed color—first white, then gray, then green, and finally purple. Normally, the process should have ended there, but the transformation was not yet complete. After reaching purple, the pearls continued to change until they gleamed with a golden hue.Huumm—As the refinement process finished, Xiao Tian felt a searing heat coursing through his entire body. Slowly, the black mist that had always surrounded the Thunderfire Beast dissipated, revealing the creature's true form for the first time. However, as his eyes took in the full sight, a sense of dread began creeping over him. The beast’s size was enormous, so massive that even his Heaven Eyes could not fully capture its entire body.More than just a beast, the creature appeared more fitting to be called a monster. Its form didn’t resemble a dragon or any other animal Xiao Tian had ever encountered—it lo

    Zhao Guang frowned slightly, feeling both surprised and anxious. He had not expected to face two forces from the Yin realm simultaneously. Nangong Xun's arrival was entirely outside his calculations. Just as he prepared to speak, a calm, composed voice resounded clearly, surprising everyone present."I wonder, who dares to try robbing and even plotting to kill me?" The voice was steady and firm, originating from the Lantian Store.All eyes turned toward the source of the voice. It was unmistakable to the people of Zhao City—it was Xiao Tian's voice.Buzz — Buzz —The crowd witnessed a Lotus Flame of Lightning blooming in the air. The fiery lotus then began to coalesce into a staircase.Huum—As the fiery staircase took shape, those nearby saw a handsome young man walking with a calm yet icy demeanour. He stepped on the Lotus Flame of Lightning, and with every step he took, the air was swept away by intense heat and destructive energy. Each step left a palpable impact, sending waves of

    After kicking him, Xiao Tian immediately hurled the black spear in his hand. Instantly, the long spear transformed into a bolt of black lightning and shot mercilessly toward Nangong Xun, who was pinned against the mountain wall.Boom!The spear struck the mountain wall and embedded itself entirely. Large cracks rapidly spread outward. Its power left Nangong Xun barely able to dodge the attack.“Damn it, I almost got killed by him,” muttered Nangong Xun, squinting his eyes. Pain coursed through his entire body as he began to realize just how dangerous the young man standing before him was. The battle had only just begun, yet he had already suffered significant losses—something he never imagined could happen.Not only were the spectators watching from a distance shocked, but even Zhao Guang and Yao Ye couldn’t believe what they were seeing. Nangong Xun was a first-tier Yin practitioner, while Xiao Tian was only at the fifth level of the Martial Immortal rank. While they were surprised b

    Zhao Guang knew this; he understood that the Yao Clan was no ordinary clan. However, he was unafraid. With Xiao Tian’s presence, it was not impossible for their Patriarch to attain the same realm.“Yao Ye, you underestimate my Zhao Clan too much. When my clan decides to support Xiao Tian, we will support him to the death. Your threats with an Elder from the Eternal Alchemist Pavilion mean nothing to me. Besides, I’m no fool. Even at your realm, it would take four years to reach the Eternal Alchemist Pavilion. If you return with the Elder, it would take another two years for him to arrive here. That gives us six years to grow stronger. By then, we will be ready to face him!”“Fool! Are you willing to gamble everything for an unknown boy? Even if he possesses extraordinary talent and abilities, without a solid background, he is nothing but a dog without a master!” A cold glint appeared in Yao Ye’s eyes. “Zhao Guang, I will get rid of you first!”Yao Ye immediately charged toward Zhao Gu

    “Why am I strong? Because you are too weak!” Xiao Tian snapped his fingers, and Yao Shi’s body was instantly engulfed in flames and lightning. The fire and lightning formed a sphere around him, lifting him into the air.As Yao Shi was carried into the sky, Xiao Tian turned his gaze toward Yao Ye, who was trembling in fear, nearly fainting. “You too!”Yao Ye's body suffered the same fate as Yao Shi’s. Both were imprisoned in spheres of fire and lightning and were now floating in the air.No one noticed that Xiao Tian’s body had been completely taken over by the Lightning Fire Beast, Leihuo Dashi. Externally, Xiao Tian’s body showed no significant size changes, but his appearance underwent a dramatic transformation. Flames and lightning enveloped his entire figure.Xiao Tian could still see everything that was happening; he had merely switched places with Leihuo Dashi, allowing him to observe it all.Zhao Guang watched the scene with a mixture of shock and confusion. He couldn’t underst

    While Zhao Guang invited the vice clan leader, Xiao Tian had already entered the cultivation chamber. After sitting down, his consciousness finally returned. Xiao Tian was confused about what had just happened. “Leihuo Dashi, what happened? Why couldn’t I see anything after you killed those two old bastards from the Yao Clan?” The Thunderfire Beast shook its head. “Even though your body is strong, you still can’t withstand my power long. Now, heal your wounds and keep improving your strength. In the future, you must not rely on my power when facing strong opponents.” “I understand. Besides, who would enjoy having their body controlled? I gave you my body because I refused to kneel before those old bastards.” Xiao Tian felt uncomfortable with the Thunderfire Beast controlling his body. Even though it was part of his bloodline, he remained cautious about the beast. After all, the fear of losing control over his body still lingered. Xiao Tian began purifying a fourth-tier Zuxian pil

    Niu Gan and Jilang’s gaze slowly followed the direction of Xiao Tian’s pointing finger. They froze. Not far from where they were lying, Bairu stood. Her body moved swiftly—slapping, kicking, pressing, gripping. Beneath her, Han Jue’s body lay powerless, unable to fight back against the continuous blows. Bairu’s eyes burned with an uncontrollable thirst for revenge, and what shocked them even more was that Han Jue wasn’t resisting—he couldn’t. “Brother Tian…” Jilang finally spoke softly. “Then where are the rest of Han Jue’s group?” Xiao Tian turned his head slightly and then gave a faint smile. A calm smile, yet one that carried heavy pressure. “Two of them managed to escape. The rest—I’ve already killed them all.” The answer made both of them stiffen. Instinctively, they took deep breaths. Their chests rose and fell in disbelief. Even when they were being tortured, they still believed that Han Jue’s group was an unbeatable force in this place. But now, the truth before th

    “Bairu, you can take out your anger on him. But remember, you must keep him alive. He’s still useful to us.” Bairu looked up, meeting Xiao Tian’s calm face. There was no doubt in the young man’s eyes. His command was clear, and Bairu didn’t question his intent. She knew that if Xiao Tian said so, then Han Jue was not allowed to die—at least not yet. Bairu rose slowly. Her eyes locked on Han Jue, who lay helpless on the ground. Her breathing quickened, not from fear, but because the pressure she had kept buried was finally rising to the surface. Her fists clenched. There was no pity, no hesitation—only one thing remained: revenge. Han Jue growled when he noticed Bairu approaching. Even though his body was weak, his voice still carried rage and hatred. “You bitch—if you dare touch me, I swear both your arms will be gone forever!” He forced every ounce of anger into his words, hoping to intimidate as he always had. But the threat didn’t make Bairu step back. It didn’t even shak

    Xiao Tian’s gaze locked onto Han Jue’s pointing finger, then slowly rose to his terrified eyes. His words came out sharp and threatening, leaving no room for argument. “Stop pointing at me—unless you want your remaining hand to be separated from your body.” Those weren’t empty words. Han Jue felt it directly in his bones. No one could save him if Xiao Tian decided to kill him at that moment. For the first time in his life, Han Jue truly felt fear that pierced the core of his soul. Not because of the physical injuries he suffered, but because he knew this wouldn’t end easily. He knew exactly who was standing in front of him, and he realized there was no way to escape. “Please, don’t kill me. I know I was wrong. I won’t make the same mistake again. I swear.” But before his plea could finish, Xiao Tian’s foot slammed into his stomach with full force. BAANG! Han Jue’s body folded, the sound of his bones cracking like dry wood. Blood gushed from his mouth, and his eyes widened, almo

    With Xiao Tian’s current strength, chasing Han Jue was not a difficult task. Within minutes, he had already caught up. WHOOSSHH!!! A fist formed from spiritual energy shot forward from behind, striking like a Warhammer. Xiao Tian swung it without hesitation as if slicing through the air with absolute power. The attack came at terrifying speed, closing the distance without giving any room to escape. Han Jue, sensing danger from behind, turned around with sharp reflexes. His body spun, and his hand rose in a counter-strike, trying to neutralize the incoming blow. BAANG!!! The sound of the clash split the air. When the two punches collided, a shockwave rippled out like waves in a calm lake. Han Jue was pushed backwards, his body shifting several steps in the air. He grunted, his tone cold and full of fury. “Bastard, don’t think I’m afraid of you just because I chose to leave!” It wasn’t just an empty threat. Han Jue boosted his power, instantly jumping three ranks to reach the fif

    The four young men stared at Xiao Tian with horrified expressions. They were certain that Xiao Tian was younger than all of them—perhaps still in his teens. Yet at such a young age, he already possessed a murderous aura so dense and cold it pierced straight into their spines. That aura couldn’t be faked, nor did it come from any particular technique. It was the breath of true death, born from killing experiences far beyond his years. His killing intent rivaled that of ancient monsters who had lived for thousands of years. But his was even purer, forged not from status or fame, but from merciless battles. Xiao Tian didn’t utter a single word. After boosting his strength to the eleventh rank of the Grand Supreme Realm, his body soared into the sky. Wings of lightning and fire unfolded from his back, beating powerfully and creating shockwaves that made the surrounding valley trees tremble violently. The air felt as if it were being sucked into a vortex of power. Even though the four y

    Without waiting for a signal, he shot into the air. His body was like an arrow released from a bow, speeding towards Xiao Tian. He didn't use any weapons. His two hands were open, and his right palm was aimed at Xiao Tian's neck. He intended to choke him directly, showing utter contempt. His smile widened. He could increase his realm by three ranks, and now his power was at the thirteenth rank of the Great Supreme Realm. In his view, choking Xiao Tian wouldn't be difficult. Especially seeing Xiao Tian just floating in the air, silent without showing any sign of resistance, he became even more convinced that his opponent had surrendered before the fight. “Good, you're quite self-aware. This way you won't feel excessive pain,” he said mockingly, his voice sharp and arrogant. However, when he was only a meter away from Xiao Tian's body, everything changed. Xiao Tian's initially flat gaze suddenly froze. Cold. Too cold. One word came out of his lips, slowly but suffocating. “Get out

    Seeing his condition, Xiao Tian immediately suppressed the surging aura and anger. He knew Bairu wouldn't speak unless he was desperate. “Calm yourself, speak calmly. What happened to you? And where are Niu Gan and Jilang?” Bairu caught his breath, trying to stabilize himself. “Brother Tian, Niu Gan and Jilang… they've been captured. The culprit is Han Jue, the strongest young generation from the Han Clan. He's under the direct protection of the Death Gate Pavilion. Actually, I was also captured, but I was ordered to find you. Han Jue said, if Brother Tian doesn't show up by the time the star bead hunt ends, then Niu Gan and Jilang will be mercilessly killed.” Xiao Tian's eyes narrowed sharply, his body didn't move, but his aura of anger felt piercing. “Investigating death!” he exclaimed softly but firmly, like a gust of wind that could slice through mountains. “Show me where they are.” But Bairu grabbed his sleeve, his voice trembling. “Brother Tian, but… Niu Gan and Jilang said t

    “Kid, you're truly lucky. Your fortune would make anyone envious. With this, the winner of the star bead hunt is already certain, no one will get as many star beads as you,” the voice of the Leihuo Dashi sounded in his mind, calm but clearly hinting at admiration. However, Xiao Tian did not respond with words. His eyes were instead fixed on an object located on the other side of the room. A heart shape, slowly pulsating in a harmonious pattern, like a living creature asleep. Its shape was unique, as if composed of dense energy, yet possessing a complex and profound structure. With just a glance, Xiao Tian knew—that was the Nirvana Heart, the object Bai Ruochen had requested. “True, but what makes me happier is that the item I'm looking for is here.” Calmly, Xiao Tian swung his hand. The towering pile of star beads was immediately absorbed and entered his divine ring, forming a small vortex before disappearing into the storage space within. His movements were precise, swift, and wit

    Unlike the chaos outside, Xiao Tian, who was in the palace courtyard, was still sitting cross-legged. However, when the lightning fire beast entered, Xiao Tian's body was immediately showered by fire and lightning that came from the sky. “ARRGGHH!!!” His scream echoed throughout the courtyard, his body enveloped by flames and flashes of lightning that pierced his deepest pores. The fire and lightning were not from an enemy, nor were they ordinary techniques. It was the embodiment of the giant lightning fire beast that appeared in the sky—the embodiment of the sky's own wrath. His flesh melted and burned, falling piece by piece to reveal glowing golden bones. But on those bones, something more terrifying could be seen—small golden dragons, alive, flowing, moving wildly. “Old beast!” Xiao Tian roared, even though his body was almost destroyed. “You don't need to shout! I'm not stupid either!” the Leihuo Dashi retorted, his voice echoing loudly and coldly. “Endure the pain. I will d
