Wenli and Dantai Yinyi each drew one golden arrow. They didn’t use all four, as they knew that even a single golden arrow could determine life or death in a single clash. The golden arrows were drawn with extreme caution, protected by two layers of defensive formations to avoid disrupting the Qi’s stability before use. The light they emitted wasn’t blinding, but held incredibly dense and focused destructive power. As the arrows were placed on the bows, they channeled a large amount of Qi into them. A golden aura began to form around them. The air instantly changed. The ground beneath their feet trembled lightly, as if recognizing the overwhelming pressure coming from the arrow’s power. Their bows began to vibrate—not from weakness, but because the energy being gathered was too immense for ordinary weapons. “Duanmu, Dantai Ma’er, since your strength isn’t effective against them, it’s better you retreat and lend us your Qi!” Without a word, Duanmu leapt back without hesitation

On the other side, Duanmu and Dantai Ma’er remained at the front line, but in a guarded stance. They were not long-range fighters, and with enemies using poison as their main strength, approaching without strategy was a foolish decision. Duanmu’s body crouched slightly, his hands gripping his weapon tightly. Dantai Ma’er stood beside him, both palms glowing with defensive Qi, ready to block or strike at any moment. “Annoying! Seems like I need to train in long-range combat! What a hassle to face enemies like this!” Duanmu growled. His breathing was heavy with frustration. This was a moment where his power couldn’t be fully unleashed. His teeth clenched, not from fear, but from anger at seeing so many vile enemies. He disliked killing from afar, but he wasn’t foolish enough to charge without a plan. As the thirty enemies began their assault, Wenli and Dantai Yinyi had already drawn their bows. One draw, three arrows. But as they released, the arrows exploded into hundreds instantl

Dark green gas exploded from Juanzhi’s body. The gas formed dozens of skull heads, each emitting ghostly wails that screeched and pierced the ears. The aura of death enveloped the entire stone corridor. A foul stench mixed with poison slowly spread. The skulls were not illusions. Their eyes glowed dark red, and their teeth moved. Their howls shattered the air, creating a resonance that pierced deep into the ear, causing anyone unprepared to lose their sense of awareness. “Senior brother, fall back, that is a highly lethal poisonous gas. You must not come into contact with it,” Tian Chen said quickly and firmly. His voice cut through the poisonous pressure, slicing into the consciousness of those briefly shaken by the wails. He stood in front of them, stepping slightly forward, bearing the direct pressure of Juanzhi’s aura without taking a single step back. “Damn it, truly despicable!” Duanmu gritted his teeth. His emotions flared. Enemies who used poison were always considered th

Tian Chen and the others immediately turned around. Behind them stood about thirty young cultivators, consisting of both men and women. Their number was quite large, but what stood out the most was the aura they emitted: not from any super sect, but rather from rogue cultivators and disciples of mid-tier sects. Their clothing varied in color, unlike the uniform robes of major sect disciples. Yet their expressions were the same: full of sly confidence, with faint smiles that seemed to suggest they knew more than what appeared on the surface. Tian Chen immediately frowned. How could disciples from mid-tier sects dare act this boldly? And even stranger, how did they know that Qin Ho had tried to stop them? These questions arose endlessly in his mind, but what disturbed him the most was not just their appearance—it was their boldness in mocking directly, even though they did not fully know Tian Chen and his companions’ strength. Duanmu also furrowed his brow. His tone was cold and ful

After they had walked for two days, the end of the narrow path within the giant stone corridor finally appeared before them. However, the sight that emerged was not a beautiful world or an ancient palace as they had hoped. Instead, what stood before them was a small, terrifying gate. The gate was only seven meters tall, but the aura of death emanating from it was so thick, as if it had been stewing there for thousands of years. The murderous intent surrounding the gate made the air cold and oppressive. The atmosphere felt heavier. Each step taken toward the gate sent a chill down the spine, and their skin crawled from the invisible bloodlust biting from afar. The stones around the base of the gate appeared blackened, as if once scorched by an unseen flame. The air thickened with faint pressure, causing a vibration that was felt deep in their stomachs. There were no sounds of birds or the buzzing of insects. Even their own breathing felt too loud when standing before the gate. Tian

"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
