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

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

"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

"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

"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,
