"Look at that, he has hunted so many Great Dao realm Demon Beast Soul Pearls... It seems he truly is a young cultivator from a great sect!" "To hunt this many, just how formidable is his strength?" "Fortunately, he didn't take offense... Had he lost his temper, even Father and the elders might not have been able to protect Nan Ye..." Nan Shi murmured, immediately grabbing her ancient abacus. While waiting for the calculation of all the demon beast soul pearls being sold, Yao Chen began to step forward. His attention was drawn toward a pile of weapons displayed in the shop. "Hao Chen... Follow that young master. If he fancies anything, give him a low price..." Wanting to leave a good impression, Nan Shi commanded her subordinate. The attendant nodded in understanding. Following closely behind Yao Chen, he began to explain the superior qualities of several swords sold by the shop. "Over here, the swords of the finest quality are kept in that large cabinet... Perhaps Young Master

"The Ling Clan?" Yao Chen raised an eyebrow. Ling Yi offered a faint smile. "Of course you wouldn't know where my clan resides... Five ancient clans rule over this continent, and our Ling Clan is proudly listed among them." "Very well... But before we cooperate, can you guarantee that you will divide whatever resources we find fairly, just as you said?" "To be honest, I don't really need the resources. In my clan, there are more than enough resources for my cultivation. I am simply curious!" Yao Chen nodded. Without further negotiation, he retrieved the massive black iron bar sword from his spatial ring. Wuuuuush! He blurred forward at high speed, causing a flash of surprise to cross Ling Yi’s eyes. 'This youth...' She could instantly tell that Yao Chen's speed far surpassed what his visible cultivation level suggested. By the time the young man arrived directly in front of the water serpent’s maw—which was currently spewing barrage after barrage of water spheres—Yao Chen del

Yao Chen tried to recall the name associated with the title 'Half-God, Half-Demon Cultivator', but he had no memory of such a monumental figure. Seeing this, Shang Guan's spirit offered a faint smile. "The world is vast. Even though I can sense that you were once a God-stage expert... it doesn't mean there are no existences stronger than those from your past... Now, cement your choice. Make me your weapon... Or, we shall part ways forever..." Yao Chen clenched his fists tightly. What connection did he have to the figure that had just been mentioned? But as he remembered the slaughter of the Yao clan, the shattered state of his father's life necklace, and the death of Shi Yin, he began to draw blood from within his body. "I agree..." Swuuuuuuung! The ancient Divine blood within his body surged into the contract formation floating before him. Before long, his Divine Soul consciousness returned to his physical body. His body trembled slightly, and then Shang Guan's voice resonated

With his black block sword, Yao Chen continued to parry every attack flawlessly, even though their speed was too fast for his eyes to follow. However, Yao Chen was a seasoned veteran who had roamed across multiple continents. Facing cultivators above his own realm was something he was already long accustomed to, even before becoming a God practitioner. "You..." The two masked men began to retreat; there wasn’t a single opening in any of Yao Chen's movements. "Why are you backing away?!" shrieked one of the men still facing Yao Chen. "His black sword is too heavy to clash with... Perhaps we can only rely on long-range attacks..." one of them warned. Wuuuuuush! Wuuuuuush! "You're right..." Dozens of cultivators retreated simultaneously, surrounding Yao Chen from all directions. Seeing their maneuver, a serious expression washed over his face. "Without using the Ancient God Body... this vessel is still too weak. I only have a few drops of my Ancient God blood left, and burning

Yao Chen retrieved several medicinal herbs from his spatial ring. He began crafting a concoction, crushing and refining all the ingredients using his raw Qi. "Without fire... this remedy is going to taste incredibly bitter. It’s a good thing this girl is unconscious." Gleeeeek! Yao Chen poured the medicine down her throat to heal her internal injuries, allowing her fractured bones and clogged meridians to begin flowing smoothly once more. "Heeeh... her cultivation is quite high. How interesting." He wasn't foolish, however; he intentionally chose not to fully heal all her wounds. Meanwhile, at a different location. Wuuuuuush! Wuuuuuush! "Young Master, we’ve been hiding for a long time. The battle in the west has surely ceased by now. Shall we go harvest the spoils of that clash?!" Huang Zhi fixed his gaze toward the west, a faint smirk playing on his lips. It was as though he had only come to play the fisherman, waiting to reap the benefits while both sides destroyed each oth
