Tian Chen immediately channeled the golden flames into Dantai Ma'er's palm, then the golden flames entered her body, spreading to every cell within Dantai Ma'er. The flames seemed to merge with the body's tissues, flowing as if following the life paths within the human body. Small moans continued to come from Dantai Ma'er's mouth. Her body convulsed, her breath short and labored. This caused Duanmu, Wenli, and Dantai Yinyi to clench their fists, hoping Tian Chen could help Dantai Ma'er. There was nothing they could do but entrust everything to Tian Chen. Tian Chen's consciousness also entered Dantai Ma'er's body. In the realm of his perception, he saw that the poison attacking Dantai Ma'er's body was not simple. It wasn't an ordinary poison, but deadly tiny insects. Not a liquid poison, not a deadly mist, but living creatures—thousands of them—that had infiltrated and nested within the body. At this moment, Tian Chen saw thousands of tiny insects within Dantai Ma'er's body, the ins

Three paths stretched out with different terrains. The left path appeared overgrown with black roots, like natural guardians sealing the path's mouth. These roots weren't still; occasionally, they moved slowly like sleeping animals that could rise at any moment. The middle path was shrouded in extremely dense fog, making it almost impossible to see anything within. The fog exuded a bone-chilling dampness, and strange whispers faintly emanated from behind it. The right path sloped slightly downward, leading to a rocky valley that appeared quiet but more clearly passable. There were no strange sounds, no suspicious movements, but also no signs of life. "Junior brother, which path shall we take?" Duanmu now consistently deferred to Tian Chen. The leadership of the group had changed hands. Tian Chen gazed at the three paths for a considerable time. His gaze scanned every crevice, observing the wind, faint smells in the air, and invisible traces. His eyes narrowed momentarily, then he sl

Seeing the wave of wind rushing toward him, Tian Chen immediately executed the Nirvana Sword Slash technique. In an instant, Nirvana energy enhanced by golden flames exploded from his sword, forming a sweeping arc of power that clashed directly with the raging wind wave. BAANG!!! The massive collision created a deafening explosion. The wind wave vanished instantly, shattered by the thunderous blast that shook the ground. Tiny debris scattered in all directions, striking the surrounding rocks and earth. The air suddenly turned hot, vibrating with invisible waves, as if a soundless lightning explosion had shaken the consciousness of anyone nearby. However, before the atmosphere could calm down, the wolf had already darted forward. Its massive body moved like a giant shadow leaping from the sky. Its claws were raised high, swinging downward with a speed and force capable of crushing a mountain. "Human child, you're quite tough! Even though you're the weakest of the others. I give you

The wolf howled in pain. A howl that shook the rocks and echoed through the sky. The vicious lightning severed every tissue inside its body, cutting muscle connections and breaking bones. Within its body, all defense systems collapsed. Its blood boiled, its veins burned. Its spine cracked, and its eyes bulged as if they were about to pop out of its skull. "Kid, stop, I was just joking about eating you all. Please stop!" Tian Chen showed no mercy. His eyes remained sharp, unmoving in the slightest. "Once you attack, it means you're ready to die!" BAANG!!! The final impact sounded like a miniature world shattering. Lightning energy exploded from within the wolf’s body, destroying its vital organs and blasting its massive frame into a mist of flesh and blood. All that remained was the core of a level-ten beast floating in the air. The core pulsed gently like a heart, radiating a red-golden glow that cast a warm yet deadly light over the battlefield. Without wasting time, Tian Chen

"Junior brother, you're overthinking things. For now, it's best if we continue our journey, though it seems this path will be anything but easy," said Duanmu with a serious face. His eyes narrowed, staring far ahead at the path before them. Duanmu had just managed to stand, though still limping. But as the eldest among them, he continued to take the role of guiding their steps. There was caution in his voice, as if his instincts were telling him that the beast earlier was not the last threat in this place. Tian Chen nodded, not denying it. "Senior brother, since this journey is far from easy, may I ask for some time to refine the level-ten beast core? My realm is too low—I must raise my strength immediately." He spoke directly, without beating around the bush. This wasn't just a request—it was an urgent necessity if they wanted to survive the journey ahead. Tian Chen knew that, in their current condition, strengthening himself could not be postponed any longer. "No problem, you c
