The soldier nodded slowly, then offered a small smile. “Young Master Tian Chen, you are too polite. If there were anything you desired, you may take it.” Tian Chen did not hesitate. He took the bone and placed it into his Universe Ring. “Young Master,” the soldier asked—since Tian Chen had only taken the bone and nothing else—“will you not choose anything more?” “This is more than enough,” he answered. His reply was short but clear, with no needless words—his Star‑Eye scan had already convinced him. Not a single gold ingot, crystal gem, or artifact in that vault was more valuable than the small bone. After a brief chat, Tian Chen took his leave. There was no celebration, no farewell feast—everything proceeded as if a soldier were simply returning to his path. Yinlei was already prepared. The black horse with golden eyes waited for him on the palace grounds. Its frame was strong, muscles trembling gently, its thunder‑wing feathers gleaming faintly in the morning light. Without m

Tian Chen descended from the tree branch. He looked at the one who had attacked him. “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. I just wanted to pass by, but the only path I could take was through here, so I had to wait for you to finish discussing!” Tian Chen answered calmly. Seeing Tian Chen’s Sky‑Sect uniform, they noted he was only a core disciple. The one who had attacked him looked at Wenli. “Wenli, he comes from your sect. Did you send him here?” Wenli shook her head. She looked at Tian Chen gently but firmly. “Junior, did you intend to hunt sixth‑grade beasts?” Tian Chen clasped his hands in reply. “Senior, yes.” Because they had been polite, Tian Chen answered politely too. “From which peak did you come?” Wenli asked. “Senior, I came from Tianjian Peak.” “Oh, I did not expect Tianjian Peak to have a core disciple back, who would immediately take on a beast‑hunting mission.” “Senior, I’m indeed a new disciple.” However, as Tian Chen spoke with Wenli,

Without further warning, Huan Feng charged forward. His body sprinted like a purple lightning bolt tearing through air. He did not draw his weapon. Clearly, this was not out of underestimation, but pride wounded. He had resolved to repay Tian Chen’s insult toward the Valley of Sacred Light disciples with his bare hands. Insult for insult. Both of his hands glowed in dense purple light. That light was more than mere energy—it was a manifestation of bodily power and physical technique. In an instant, he activated a high‑level body art, sharply boosting his speed to dozens of times faster than before. Yet, alas. The opponent before him was Tian Chen. Not only did Tian Chen possess razor‑sharp perception, his Star‑Eye was a heavenly gift that pierced illusions, revealed movements, and glimpsed intention. WHOOSSHH!!! BAANG!!! Huan Feng’s body vanished, and in a fraction of breath, he appeared beside Tian Chen. His fist struck swiftly, driving a fierce wind that bent grass beneath i

As soon as the sword was raised, the ground for dozens of li ahead began to crack and split apart. Those cracks were not caused by ordinary physical power, but by a nirvana will that swept from the sword’s edge to the deepest layer of the earth’s dimension. The surface gaped open. Lines of golden fire emerged from below, flowing like the pulse of the universe. It was not magma, but the will of annihilation. And that will could never be healed by time. Everything froze. Dust, leaves, blades of grass—suspended in the air. The wind ceased to blow. Sound vanished. The world refused to move until the sword’s will was fulfilled. Grains of dirt hung motionless. As if the universe itself was holding its breath. BUZZ!!! When the sword slashed down, a line of golden fire shot out from the earth. That fire was not merely hot, but carried an absolute will of destruction. Every black staff unleashed by Huan Feng simply disappeared. No explosions. No collisions. Only a void, then nothing. Whe

Tian Chen did not move. He raised his palm, and from it, a golden square wall appeared. That wall was like a sacred heavenly mirror, shining with a majestic light that rejected every kind of violation. It stood between him and Fang Changhai’s light, becoming an unshakable shield. BOOM!!! A loud explosion erupted. A massive shockwave burst from the point of impact, sweeping across the entire surrounding forest. Huge trees toppled under the force, roots ripped out, and the earth shook violently. The once lush forest had turned into a barren open plain with not a single tree left standing. Fang Changhai’s three companions had already leapt backward to avoid the wave of the blast. Wenli and Dantai Yinyi, who were behind Tian Chen, had also retreated. They stepped back with precise calculation to avoid being dragged into the energy vortex. When the shockwave finally subsided, the two young men still stood firm in their positions. The ground around them was cracked, but they did not mov

Tian Chen approached Wenli and Dantai Yinyi. His steps were calm yet firm, and when he was close enough, he clasped both hands in front of his chest, greeting them with the respectful etiquette of a disciple from a great sect. His voice was deep and full of respect, yet did not lose its firmness. “A junior from Tianjian Peak greets his seniors.” Wenli and Dantai Yinyi looked at him. They did not answer immediately. Their gazes swept over Tian Chen from head to toe, as if measuring not just his appearance, but also the aura around him, so different from ordinary disciples. There was a trace of subtle surprise in their eyes, though they did not fully show it. Then Wenli raised her hand slightly and waved it gently, a gesture reflecting her senior status yet still carrying softness. “No need to be so formal. What was your name again? I forgot.” “Tian Chen, core disciple of Tianjian Peak.” Dantai Yinyi leaned closer toward Tian Chen, a mischievous smile on her lips. There was a

Tian Chen continued walking, without stopping, like a shadow of death crossing the boundary between the human world and the beasts. Everywhere he passed, the wild creatures that sensed his presence immediately charged forward, only to fall one after another. Some were sliced in half, their bodies split before they could even scream. Others had their eyes pierced before they could lift their claws. There was no grand technique. No shouted name of a move. Only the black sword with golden dragon patterns, dancing in Tian Chen’s hands, chopping and slashing as if cutting vegetables. Spinal spikes, scale armor, even the iron-like hide of Stoneback Turtles, could not withstand the sharp tip of his weapon. Blood pooled. The metallic scent filled the air. Within half an hour, more than two hundred sixth-grade beasts lay dead. Their corpses spread out like a crimson carpet for a king of slaughter. The ground beneath them changed color, soaking up the hot blood that had yet to congeal. The su

Wenli stared sharply, her voice unchanged but growing heavier. “Junior, we are not saying this to scare you, but it is reality. Even the only power among the Four Continents that develops artifact-forging skills — the Sacred Armament Villa, on the border of the Xuantie Continent — could not forge a Universe Ring.” Tian Chen frowned. A question instantly rose in his mind, and he did not hide it. “Senior, isn’t there no single force standing in Xuantie Continent? That continent is only filled with forbidden places and ancient tombs, right?” Wenli smiled kindly, without arrogance. Her gaze remained calm. “That is correct. But the Sacred Armament Villa is different. Although they are located on the Xuantie Continent, the Villa does not rule the Continent. They only stand as an independent power apart from the other three continents. Nearly every power on each continent tries to maintain good relations with the Sacred Armament Villa so they can purchase weapons from them.” Tian Chen lis

Both of them had concealed their cultivation using a special treasure, only displaying the aura of a third-rank Qi Guardian. Normally, an ordinary disciple should not have been able to see the depth of their cultivation. “Junior, in the future, you should learn how to choose your words,” said Dantai Yinyi. Her face still carried a smile, but her gaze contained a gentle pressure. Tian Chen paused for a moment, then replied seriously, “Senior, did I say something wrong?” “You were not wrong, but when someone hides their cultivation, it means they do not wish others to know. Even if you can see through it, it is enough to keep it to yourself. There is no need to say it out loud.” Wenli stopped Dantai Yinyi with a small hand gesture and a calm voice full of meaning. “Enough. Our priority now is to defeat that turtle. I didn’t expect to immediately run into an eighth-grade beast that has already reached the late stage. That turtle is only a step away from breaking through to the ninth-

The giant turtle had not only succeeded in destroying Tian Chen’s sword energy, but also managed to break free from the chains binding it. A loud cracking sound rang out as the restraints shattered like thin threads under the pressure of absolute power. The stone pillars that had anchored the binding formation now trembled violently, and several even cracked through their centers. Wenli and Dantai Yinyi did not stand idle. Both of them immediately threw more runes into the air. Their movements were fast and resolute, showing they were no longer holding back their strength. They had not expected a peak-stage eighth-grade beast to possess such overwhelming power, but the reality before them left no room for carelessness. “Yinyi!” Wenli’s shout echoed through the gaps between the trees that had survived the previous shockwave. Dantai Yinyi turned her head at once and nodded, as if she fully understood the meaning of that call. There was no need for explanation. They had worked togethe
