2025-01-03 17:21:00"All of you on that eagle’s back, get down!"
Swuuuuuuung!
A circular formation suddenly appeared in the sky, as if it had been a trap meticulously set for them. The eagle that Ling Ying rode was bound by chains. Instantly, the eagle beneath Yuan Bei began to rebel, throwing all the cultivators, including Yuan Bei, off its back and plummeting toward the ground.
Baaaam! Baaaaam!
Struggling to steady himself, Yuan Bei noticed more than thirty practitioners at the Five-Star Foundation Establishment stage emerging from behind massive trees, led by a cultivator at the Two-Star Core Formation stage.
"Why can’t I see the cultivation stage of their leader?" Yuan Bei communicated with Cai Lin through his mind.
"The greater the gap in cultivation stages, the harder it is to perceive. The man you’re referring to has reached the Core Formation stage... Though it’s the early stage, it’s enough to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator like you. Be careful…"
Yuan Bei nodded, his gaze locking onto Ling Ying, who clenched her jaw in frustration.
"Y-you…"
"Miss Ling Ying, our leader wants your demonic beast mount. Now that we’ve taken it, leave and forget this matter!" the enemy leader said nonchalantly.
Hearing this, and feeling her treasure stolen so brazenly, Ling Ying, indifferent to the lives of her subordinates, gave a command.
"Everyone, help me!"
Swuuuuuuush! "Yes!"All the practitioners began fighting each other. Ling Ying’s faction initially seemed to dominate the battle. Yet strangely, the leader of the thirty practitioners merely smiled faintly at Ling Ying’s resistance.
"If you were backed by the core forces of the Information Tower, we might not dare attack. Unfortunately, your forces are just freelancers paid in gold coins!" The enemy leader began moving in a zigzag pattern, using his sword to cut down each practitioner who stood in his way.
A one-sided massacre unfolded before Yuan Bei, who stood silently, unmoving.
"What are you waiting for? If you interfere, your life will be in danger… Core Formation cultivators are extremely deadly!" Cai Lin warned.
Yuan Bei rejected the warning, replying, "The only way to make money is by helping her… Besides, our goals align. Ling Ying is hiding her true strength. All I can do now is wait for the outcome of this battle…"
Swuuuuush!
Yuan Bei quickly moved to a safe distance, hiding as the factions clashed.
"Don’t chase that weakling. Your task is to kill Ling Ying’s forces!" The leader dashed toward Ling Ying.
The two began an intense battle, and Yuan Bei’s eyes observed Ling Ying’s combat techniques closely.
"Judging by their speed, Ling Ying and that man are evenly matched… Seems I made the right call to wait this out."
Meanwhile, the Core Formation practitioners sealing the eagle gave new orders.
"Killing Ling Ying is taking too long. Everyone, assist them now!"
"Understood!"
Swuuuuuush!Dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators darted through the air, using light-body techniques to head straight for Yuan Bei’s hiding place.
"Damn, they’re coming…"
Swuuuuush! Swuuuush!
Boom! Boom!Qi-formed attacks shot toward Yuan Bei, who had leaped to another branch on his left.
"Everyone here must die…" one of the cultivators commanded.
Realizing he would inevitably be drawn into the conflict, Yuan Bei faced the group of Foundation Establishment Four-Star and Five-Star cultivators.
Sriiiiiiiing! Swoooooosh!
Summoning a sword of fire from within his body, Yuan Bei’s actions stunned the surrounding practitioners.
"A Foundation Establishment Two-Star can form an elemental sword? You’re no ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator!"
"What are you afraid of? He’s alone! Attack together—he’ll fall to us for sure!" one of them shouted, rallying the others.
Swuuuuuuuush!
With renewed morale, twenty cultivators charged at Yuan Bei, their swords aimed to strike him down.
But Yuan Bei began showcasing his swordplay. His movements were flexible, skillful, and executed with impeccable timing.
"This young man’s moves are so graceful…"
"Indeed! It’s strange… I’ve never seen swordsmanship as beautiful as this…"
Klaaaaash! Sraaaaash!
However, their admiration turned to horror as the flaming sword pierced through one of their comrades, reducing him to ashes.
"S-so cruel…" one of the men stammered, watching his comrade’s body disintegrate.
"Look out!"
Swoooosh! Slaaaaash! Slaaaaash!Yuan Bei showed no hesitation, killing his opponents one by one without blinking. This mercilessness was born from the harsh life he had endured. To him, life and death were dictated by fate. If he didn’t want to die, he had to defy that fate.
"H-he…"
Watching his men fall to a mere Foundation Establishment Two-Star, the enemy leader stopped fighting Ling Ying. His face betrayed his shock as he saw Yuan Bei effortlessly handle foes two stages above him.
"Who is he? If I leave him be, my entire force might perish under his blade…" Clenching his jaw, the leader lunged toward Yuan Bei.
But Ling Ying intercepted, grabbing his leg and throwing him aside.
BOOOOOM!
"If you want to kill him, you’ll have to step over my dead body first!"

"Miss Ling Ying, I, Yuan Bei, never intended to take advantage of you while you were unconscious," Yuan Bei said calmly."What proof do you have? Look at me—my clothes are gone!" she retorted, her tone filled with frustration.Letting out a long sigh, Yuan Bei, sensing movement around their hiding place, replied, "They’ve already found us... If you don’t get dressed quickly, I’m afraid they’ll be the ones taking advantage of you!""You...!" Ling Ying stammered, flustered and irritated.However, Yuan Bei wasn’t bluffing.

However, amidst his unhindered strides, a girl’s voice suddenly reached his ears, causing him to stop abruptly."Young master, help me! Please, help me!"Focusing his spiritual awareness, Yuan Bei tried to locate the source of the voice. Suddenly, Cai Lin's warning echoed in his mind."The ghostly aura here is dense and powerful... Bei, be cautious.""Ghostly aura? I can’t feel it... Could it be—""Because you’ve absorbed the soul of the Ghost King, no ghostly aura in this realm, no matter how strong, can affect you.

Before I awaken, you must know your limits!”Groaaaaarh!Transforming into a fire dragon, Cai Lin disrupted the forced fusion attempted by the newborn Dragon Soul.Amid the darkness engulfing Yuan Bei, flashes of his past began to surface. He remembered the tragic deaths of his parents at the hands of a mysterious figure in the Cenayang village. Along with that, vivid memories of the massacre caused by the same figure before his death returned to his mind.“How could I die before avenging my parents, grandmother, and the people of CENAYANG?”Yuan Bei roared with fury, his spirit regaining control, rising above the turbulent meridian sea still under the influence of the Dragon Soul.“Bei, it’s good you’ve come to your senses.

A Week LaterYuan Bei's hunt came to a halt due to the dwindling population of demonic beasts in the outer region of the Forbidden Forest. “Perhaps it’s not good to be too greedy,” he thought to himself as he decided to leave behind the remaining second- and third-tier demonic beasts.His target had shifted—he no longer sought pearls from these beasts because he now needed stronger ones to advance his cultivation. Using the Thousand Phantom Steps technique, Yuan Bei ventured into the inner region. Stopping in his tracks, he sensed a strong fluctuation of energy emanating from a fierce battle nearby.“A fifth-tier demonic beast? Fascinating. To create such a powerful Qi fluctuation, its strength must be on par with the Soul Core stage,” he muttered.Slowly and silently, Yuan Bei advanced toward the source of the Qi fluctuation, employing his Thousand Phantom Steps. Upon arriving, he hid behind a massive tree trunk, his eyes widening as he beheld two Blood-Eyed Tigers locked in an inte

Yuan Bei hesitated for a moment, then without delay, approached the middle-aged man in front of him who was watching him intently. He had already put his clothes back on."Young man, what is your name?"Feeling wary since he didn’t recognize the middle-aged man standing before him, Yuan Bei stayed on guard. The man then began to introduce himself."I am Bai Chen, an elder of the Spirit Sword Sect... Now that I’ve introduced myself, how about you reveal your identity?""A Spirit Sword Sect elder?" Yuan Bei thought to himself, pretending to lower his guard. Realizing he couldn’t discern the man’s cultivation level, Yuan Bei quickly showed his respect."Senior... I’m merely a wandering traveler seeking fortune in this place... I’ll take my leave now.""A mere wandering traveler? You possess the Dragon Seal and unique blood that not everyone has.

In an ancient cave long abandoned by its owner, Yuan Bei, now feeling secure, began to circulate his spiritual awareness. A short while later, once assured of his safety, Yuan Bei could only mutter and vow to himself."Bai Chen, you will pay for these wounds with your life! Just wait—I will train here for a while. When the time comes, I hope you still crave the treasures within my body!"Sitting in a meditative posture, Yuan Bei immediately began healing his internal injuries as quickly as possible. Beyond the fear of Bai Chen finding him, he had also entered the deepest part of the Enchanted Forest, a place where true danger might be silently watching him from afar.After a full day of recovery, Yuan Bei opened his eyes, letting out a long sigh. He muttered, "Although the injuries he inflicted can't be fully healed in such a short time, at least I can still fight for a long period... This time, the risk I took might have been reckless." Shaking his head, Yuan Bei exited the depths of

A sudden surge of energy rippled through the air.Knowing that even a seventh-level demon beast like the giant white ape struggled against the pack of blood-fanged wolves, Yuan Bei stretched both arms, preparing for battle.Swuuuush!A flaming sword materialized in his hand. Just as the weapon took shape, one of the wolves leaped at him, its claws aiming for Yuan Bei's back."You dare try to wound me?"Sriiiiiiiiing!Spinning around swiftly, Yuan Bei blocked the incoming claw strike with his flaming sword. Without hesitation, he unleashed a flurry of attacks aimed at the wolf's lower body.Slaaaaash! Swoooooooosh!The sword embedded itself in the wolf, and a split second later, flames erupted from the blade, consuming the beast entirely. Within moments, it was reduced to ash."The Heavenly Flame truly is remarkable... No matter how tough the body, as long as these flames burn it, it will turn to dust!"Auuuuuuu

Yuan Bei stared at the middle-aged man in front of him with sharp eyes. He then responded to the question in a flat tone."I did it because he made a mistake against me...""A mistake? In this city, I make the rules… Since when does a young cultivator dare to act so recklessly here? And you even dared to injure my son's wrist!"Yuan Bei's face turned red with anger. The hatred and resentment that had consumed him after discovering the mastermind behind the destruction of Cenayang Village only fueled his frustration even more."So, what do you want to do about it?""Break both of your hands and leave this city immediately!""Father, isn't that too lenient?! Wouldn't it be better if you broke both his arms and legs instead?!" Qing Tian's demands became even more outrageous."Hmph! Do you even have the power to do that?"Uninterested in engaging with them, Yuan Bei prepared to use his Qi wings to leave the city. However, before he could take off, Qing Lao suddenly leaped toward him using

"So, do you consider my life as nothing more than a wolf’s stepping stone?"Swuuuuuush!Qing Tian leaped forward. Without hesitation, he launched a fierce attack, his fist hurtling towards his opponent.Seeing the incoming strike, Yuan Bei casually shifted his body to the side. With ease, he caught Qing Tian’s fist in the palm of his hand.Kraaaaaaack!Qing Tian's eyes widened in shock as he felt the bones in his arm snap when Yuan Bei twisted it clockwise."Y-you broke my arm…" Qing Tian staggered backward, his face turning red with a mix of pain and frustration."Next time, don’t act recklessly if your skills aren’t enough." Yuan Bei spoke coldly before turning away, leaving Qing Tian behind as he made his way toward the grand Information Tower.The surrounding cultivators who had witnessed the brief confrontation murmured among themselves."It wasn’t Qing Tian who was reckless, but that young man… Offending Qing Tian in Black Rain City might bring serious trouble upon him.""True,

Flashback.When Yuan Bei was just five years old, on his birthday, a great tragedy befell his family. A group of people suddenly came and destroyed their modest home.At the same time, both his parents were killed by a technique eerily similar to the one Bai Chen was now using."Bei, what are you thinking?! Your opponent’s technique isn’t ordinary!" Cai Lin quickly reminded Yuan Bei.Snapping out of his thoughts, Yuan Bei realized too late that the lightning attack was already upon him. He hastily created a shield using his fire element.Craaaaack! Boom!Although he managed to block it, the stream of lightning energy kept surging forward. Bai Chen, seeing his opponent struggling to withstand the attack, smirked faintly and said,"Do you think you can stop it? Tch! Why bother watching someone who’s about to die? I’d rather…"He paused mid-sentence and turned around, now gazing passionately at Ling Ying’s figure. Slowly, he began walking toward her, licking his lips as he went.But in t

"Although he was only pushed back a few steps, this was enough to prove that the young man in front of me must have obtained unimaginable fortune. With such terrifying growth, I cannot afford to let him become my enemy in the future!" Bai Chen muttered to himself before quickly dashing toward Yuan Bei, forming a sword of lightning elements from within his body.Observing Bai Chen's movements, Yuan Bei swiftly summoned a sword of flame elements. Instantly, the two elemental swords clashed with each other.The resulting energy fluctuations filled the air, but both combatants pulled back their swords and began engaging in an intense exchange of sword techniques. The graceful yet lethal movements displayed by Yuan Bei left Bai Chen in awe. For a moment, he admired the beauty of Yuan Bei's swordsmanship. However, he quickly snapped out of it, realizing the danger in underestimating his opponent."Damn it, I let myself be mesmerized by his sword technique..." Feeling cornered by Yuan Bei's

Cai Lin emerged from Yuan Bei’s body, nodding her head slightly before flicking his forehead with her finger."Ouch!""You really worried me. That killing formation is no joke. It’s a good thing your dragon soul didn’t shatter, considering how strong it is. Be more careful next time—every extensive use of the soul in creating a formation always reflects its destructive power. You’re not yet accustomed to it, so train yourself to become proficient."Yuan Bei nodded, then resumed practicing the Divine Slayer Palm Formation under Cai Lin's guidance. This time, he didn’t repeat his previous mistakes. By nightfall, he had improved significantly."Restore your Qi energy, then begin cultivating by absorbing the Sky Demon Crystal."Over the next six months, Yuan Bei delved into rigorous cultivation training. Finally, he opened his eyes, a wide smile forming on his face."A Level Five Spirit Core Realm?"Swuuuuuung!A powerful surge of energy emanated from his body, creating fierce winds aroun

"When did you awaken?" Yuan Bei asked the voice in his mind."I'll answer that later. For now, step away from where you're standing," the voice warned. Without hesitation, Yuan Bei quickly created a safe distance from the altar where the Sky Demon Crystal resided.Swuuuuuuung!As expected, the warning was no trivial matter. The ancient altar holding the Sky Demon Crystal began to tremble, and a barrier of energy resembling a thick mist formed around it, radiating immense power."I woke up the moment you started cultivating... Bei, the treasure before you is enough to push you to a realm beyond anything you've ever imagined. Now, look—the Sky Demon Crystal is reacting," the voice, Cai Lin, explained.Yuan Bei turned his gaze back toward the altar, surrounded by hundreds of demonic beasts at levels six and seven. He quickly realized their cultivation energy was being absorbed into the crystal. Cai Lin elaborated that this forest might be under the control of someone from a mysterious De
