Startled by that realization, Yao Chen was once again reminded of the figure who had appeared earlier.'Could it really be him? But isn't a legacy scripture usually meant that its owner has already passed away?' he muttered inwardly.Suddenly, the old man's expression soured. He gave Yao Chen's head a hard rap.Thwack!"O-ouch! You hit me?!""Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? How dare you curse your own master as dead?! You..." Not to be outdone, the old man puffed out his cheeks angrily.Seeing those rapidly shifting facial expressions, Yao Chen chuckled internally, but he didn't dare voice his thoughts to the figure standing right before him."Enough... Fate has brought us together after all, and besides, this isn't my true body... Brat, let me warn you for the very first time: possessing the Heaven-Defying Scripture means you will become the enemy of all the gods in the heavenly realm!""What do you mean by that?""Shouldn't you already understand? Every single techni

The process of perfecting the physical body was unlike anything before. Day after day passed, yet after more than a week went by in the Heaven Continent, all that emerged from the formation circle was a decapitated head floating without a body, its eyes tightly closed.Inside the chamber, however, Shang Guan stayed continuously by his young master's side, wanting to check on his condition.He knew that this process could determine whether his young master lived or died."A week has already passed. If the body becomes fully perfected, will the time the young master feared happen while he is still unconscious? No matter what, I will help you..."Outside the residence, the Ice King, who had subjugated many Intermediate Clans, was growing anxious.As it happened, the patriarchs from various clans had gathered a week ago in the Dao Empire, and they all wanted to speak directly with Yao Chen regarding the promised alliance.Making all clans equal in status was their shared hope. Life would

"Don't let your guard down! Keep bombarding this giant dragon together! It can move as fast as if it's inside its own space—it completely masters spatial techniques!"One of them shouted, issuing a warning and naturally unwilling to repeat the same mistake.Right in the middle of that brutal battle, Xiao Ling's gaze shifted toward his troops, who were stunned at the sight of the dragon's combat prowess."What are you all looking at? Start destroying the formation cores one by one!""Understood..."WHOOOOOSH! BOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOM!Explosions shook the area once more, followed closely by the Ice King's panic. It wasn't just protective formations being shattered one by one—dozens were being obliterated simultaneously, and those attacks were faster than the formation could even regenerate new barriers."Su Qian, why are you just standing there? Order your men to help my side?!"Suddenly, the Ice King felt a bad omen, accompanied by a mysterious smile playing at the corner of Su Qian's lips.

The silent cultivators could only ask themselves in their hearts:"W-what on earth is happening? Why...""My body is forced to freeze... What kind of ability is this?""Who is the powerful figure behind the scenes defending them?"Question after question began to surface. However, those on Yao Chen's side already knew who was about to arrive."Young Master is finally awake...""B-but since when could he stop time?"Questions filled with admiration and shock also crossed the minds of the cultivators in Yao Chen's camp. Meanwhile, the darkening sky began to show its overwhelming presence.It remained completely unaffected by the time-stop rule imposed by Yao Chen, until...BOOOOOOOOM!The entire palace housing Yao Chen's chamber was shattered to pieces; the lightning energy was truly catastrophic. Yet amidst the dust drifting in the wind, the Lightning-Devouring Toad let out a croak.Ribbit! Ribbit!"Good job..." Yao Chen remarked, smirking up at the sky.He knew that this was not the t

Millions of swords paused for a brief moment—a halt issued by Yao Chen's command. Finally, Xiao Ling could breathe a sigh of relief."M-Miss An Jun... Y-You're finally willing to step in personally..."WUUUUUUSH!Out of the spatial rift, it was not An Jun who emerged, but a bald man with a long beard staring intently at Yao Chen. He opened his mouth to speak."Why should Miss An Jun step in personally? He's nothing more than a tiny ant..."WUUUUUUSH!The high-ranking elders of the Yao Clan, including Shang Guan, immediately flew behind Yao Chen.When their eyes locked, the figure remained silent, attempting to probe Yao Chen's entire capability with a single gaze."I know that in these five continents... there is no heavenly punishment; there are only cultivators who consider themselves Gods... Baldy, what did you come here for?""B-Baldy?!" Hearing the mockery, the man's face contorted in anger. Yet, he let out a soft sigh upon realizing that his lightning element had been swallowed
