Tian Chen offered a small smile. That smile was not to boast, but to ease the hearts of his two seniors. “Senior sisters, don’t ask too many questions at once. For now, focus on recovering from your injuries. As for me, I’m fine. And the turtle…” Tian Chen slowly lifted his right hand. His finger pointed in a direction. They both followed the direction of Tian Chen’s finger. The corpse of the giant turtle, over a hundred meters long, lay motionless there. Its enormous body was no longer moving. The lightning that had once covered its body had faded, and its shell, which once shone like steel, was now cracked, marked with a deep wound from the sword that had pierced through its head. Wenli and Dantai Yinyi fell silent for a moment. Not a single word was spoken. Their gazes remained fixed, unblinking, on the turtle’s corpse lying in the middle of the battlefield. They were deeply shocked. How could they not be? That turtle had managed to resist dozens of their high-powered runes.

The giant turtle noticed the change in Tian Chen’s aura, but its gaze remained arrogant. Lightning danced wildly across its entire body, creating an electrical dome that surrounded it. Its hard shell reflected the flashes, adding to the sense that no attack could harm it. Tian Chen raised his sword high. Fwooshh!!! The golden flames coating the sword did not simply burn; they solidified, forming a complex structure. The energy within it condensed and then moved under Tian Chen’s will, creating seven vortexes that gradually shifted into the silhouettes of dragons. Seven golden flame dragons appeared simultaneously around Tian Chen. Their sizes differed, but each carried a ferocious gaze, with fiery scales rippling like waves of heat. They circled through the air, then aimed at a single point. Tian Chen did not announce the name of the technique. But anyone watching would know — the Nirvana Flame Sword Slash. Time seemed to slow for a moment. The seven golden flame dragons shot f

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

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-

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

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
