The cold smirk on the corner of Alex's lips felt like an invisible, harsh slap across Yao Yue's face. An oppressive silence once again enveloped the spatial chamber of the divine carriage, expanding alongside the shock that demanded answers within the Core Elder's mind.'H-How is it that Wei Zhong didn't end up on his knees like me?! Th-this pressure...' muttered Lu Chen, who was still kneeling.'W-Wei Zhong... y-you?!' Ling Yun also voiced his utter disbelief internally."Ma-Master, PLEASE HAVE MERCY, Master?! RE-RELEASE THIS PRESSURE, I-I TRULY CANNOT TAKE IT!" screamed Zhao Kang, who was on the verge of losing consciousness.Yet, on the other hand...Yao Yue was utterly speechless. Her tightly sealed lips refused to utter a single word—not because she was unwilling, but because her conscious mind was being forced to process an anomaly that defied the very laws of cultivation logic.As a Core Elder of the central sect and a cultivator standing majestic at the mid-level Sky God realm

At the exact same time... Suddenly...WUUUUUUUNG!The trapping formation instantly activated..."Everyone, gather together! Do not separate!" Yao Yue barked in a strict tone that brook no argument.Hearing the Core Elder's command, Lu Chen, Han Xue, Zhao Kang, and Ling Yun immediately moved swiftly. Ling Yun, who was already close to Alex, instantly grabbed the youth's arm to pull him into the center of the defensive circle. The five new disciples now stood back-to-back, with weapons drawn in their respective hands, except for Alex, who remained casually crossing his arms over his chest.Wuuushhh!Just as they formed their defensive stance, the purplish-black energy nets of the Black Soul Gate Killing Formation began to mutate. From the spatial cracks in the floor, hundreds of dark energy roots sprouted, slithering like venomous snakes. Those murderous roots radiated a dense, corrosive aura, ready to entwine and drain the life essence of anyone who touched them."The five of you, focu

"O-our leader's formation was destroyed?!""W-what on earth just happened?!"Panicked and incredulous shrieks echoed back and forth among the dozens of bandits surrounding them from all directions. Those who had initially worn masks of arrogance were now staring at the fragments of energy drifting in the air, their bodies trembling.The Black Soul Gate Formation—a Sky God-grade masterpiece that was the pride of their group—had been smashed into pieces by a single strike from the hand of an unknown youth!Atop his giant wine gourd, the old bandit wiped the blood flowing from the corner of his lips. His murky eyes stared at Alex, who was still standing calmly in the guise of Wei Zhong, with a glint of rage mixed with profound dread.However, as a veteran who had survived hundreds of bloody battles along the spatial pathways, the old bandit quickly suppressed his shock. He forced out a raspy laugh that sounded horrific amidst the heavy silence."Cough... Hahaha! Astounding! Truly magnifi

The heatwaves from the remnants of the God-Slaying Lotus explosion gradually receded, leaving behind a chilling silence in the now scorched-black spatial pathway. The metallic stench from the blood mist of the twenty Earth Deity realm cultivators who had instantly evaporated still lingered in the air, emphasizing the sheer horror of the technique Alex had just unleashed.In the rear guard, a storm of shock battered the Divine Wind Sect group without mercy.Lu Chen took a step back, his face suddenly turning deathly pale like a corpse. His eyes bulged wide, staring at the empty space that just seconds ago had been filled with twenty formidable bandits. His entire body trembled violently—not because of the residual heat, but due to a piercing dread that struck straight into his marrow."I-Impossible... This can't be!" Lu Chen muttered with a shaking voice, clutching his head which had suddenly grown dizzy.Memories of the sect's internal tournament from some time ago spun wildly in his

Wuuuush!A soothing, fragrant aroma instantly wafted through the air as dozens of jade-green pills shimmered and emerged from the void, floating gracefully around Alex’s palm. Each pill was shrouded in a thin yet pure mist of spiritual energy, with intricate lines etched onto their surfaces to form mystical cloud patterns.This was the absolute hallmark of perfect-quality pills. And most shocking of all, there were not just one or two, but dozens of them!Ling Yun, who had been staring blankly at Wei Zhong, widened her eyes in sheer disbelief. Her heart throbbed violently—not only from the shock of seeing a row of legendary pills floating before her eyes, but also due to the unexpected care shown by this mysterious youth."Wei... Wei Zhong... this is..." Ling Yun stammered, her trembling hand slightly raised, not daring to touch such medical treasures.In the back row, Zhao Kang and Han Xue even forgot how to breathe. Their jaws practically dropped to the floor. Divine-grade external
