After ensuring Daniel’s safe return, Xiao Tian immediately set off again. In his hand was a large amount of gold coins he had obtained from the young black-skinned man earlier. "With this much money," he thought, "it shouldn't be difficult for me to get a quality sword."

This time, his destination was the Phoenix Dragon Association, located in the heart of the Empire. Known as the place that provided all the needs of warriors, Xiao Tian was confident he could find a sword that suited his needs there. With a determined stride, he began searching for the way to the association.

Meanwhile, Ling Faizhe had arrived at his residence. As soon as he passed through the entrance, an overwhelming sense of nausea struck him. This was the first time he had witnessed such a brutal and merciless murder scene. In front of Xiao Tian and Daniel, Ling Faizhe tried hard to maintain his composure, attempting not to show that he was someone who had just entered the world of martial arts. "Damn," he muttere

    The elders immediately handed over the data of the students participating in the competition after She Xongjan received the complete list of all participants. In a loud voice, She Xongjan invited the participants to enter the Martial Arts Arena."Everyone, gather first," She Xongjan ordered his voice echoing powerfully and reaching everyone in the spectator stands.Xiao Tian and Daniel immediately entered the Martial Arts Arena to gather, with Daniel continuously observing his potential opponents. Only Xiao Tian remained calm and unaffected by the surrounding crowd.When all the participants were in the arena, the elders from Yunlang Valley, Qiantu Sect, and Black Lotus Sect started to appear restless. "Where is Hujian? The event has started, but he hasn't shown up yet," they murmured anxiously. They seemed panicked because the most talented student from their sect hadn't arrived.Meanwhile, Shunyuan kept a sharp eye on Xiao Tian and Daniel. Internally, he cursed, “Damn, those two bra

    She Xongjan announced the next match. “Next up, number 14,” he said with a thunderous voice. Xiao Tian sat calmly, his eyes observing the ongoing battles in front of him. However, his expression reflected boredom. Match after match passed without anything catching his interest.Finally, She Xongjan's voice resounded in the air again. “Number 13, please enter the Martial Arts Arena!”Whoosh—Whoosh—Two figures immediately darted into the centre of the arena. She Xongjan continued, “Ling Faizhe from the Ling Kingdom versus Shaiming from the Endless Valley.”Without hesitation, Shaiming drew his weapon—a silver spear that gleamed sharply under the sun.Buzz—Instantly, Shaiming’s domain became apparent. He, like Ling Faizhe, was a third-ranked Earth King warrior. Ling Faizhe merely snorted coldly as he sensed his opponent's aura. “If you think you’re capable, come forward! There’s no need to show off your strength in front of me,” he said in a mocking tone.Shaming smirked disdainfully,

    Peizhi raised his sword and shouted, "DANCE OF A HUNDRED SWORDS!"A powerful surge of sword energy erupted like a whirlpool, flowing into Peizhi's body. Xiao Tian immediately recognized this technique; it was one that Xing Han had displayed when facing him in the Supreme Sword Sect.Xiao Tian had to admit that Peizhi's technique this time was far stronger than the one Xing Han had shown. However, thanks to his previous experience, Xiao Tian had thoroughly studied this technique and knew its weaknesses.Peizhi glared sharply at Xiao Tian. "Tian, why haven't you drawn your sword yet? Are the two swords on your back just for decoration?"Xiao Tian gave a small smile. "To face you, I don’t need a sword. My bare hands are more than enough!"Peizhi felt his blood boil, the veins on his forehead bulging with uncontrollable anger. "Arrogant! Don’t blame me if I become ruthless!" he shouted at Xiao Tian, who merely responded with a mocking grin.Peizhi didn’t wait any longer; the energy within

    Xiao Tian had proven his abilities beyond everyone’s expectations. Now, admiring gazes were directed at him, especially from the women of the Misty Cloud Sect.Shouxue, Yi Min, and Ershita'er—who usually wore expressions as cold as ice—watched Xiao Tian from a distance.Shouxue whispered to Ershita'er, "Sister, you keep staring at him. Could it be that you’re interested in him?""Sister, don't joke around. Even though he’s strong, he’s still a child, only ten years old. Besides, I’m not interested in thinking about men at my age right now. I must focus on becoming stronger so that our Sect can be more respected, not only in the She Dynasty but across the Continent!" Ershita'er said, turning her face away, no longer looking at Xiao Tian from afar.Yi Min, who stood between them, simply shook her head at Shouxue's behaviour. However, she added, "Sister Shouxue, I feel that the boy named Tian shouldn’t be underestimated. During the previous match, I didn’t see him use any combat techniqu

    After Xing Han conceded and She Xongjan announced the winner, Daniel turned around and began walking away from the Martial Arena.However, before leaving entirely, Daniel paused for a moment and coldly said, "Xing Han, you should be grateful that you only lost one hand. If I hadn't shown mercy, your life could have ended here. So remember, you should thank me for being alive. But I warn you, if you're not satisfied with this outcome, you can challenge me anytime. I'll fight you until your last breath!"Without waiting for Xing Han's response, Daniel leapt and returned to his seat beside Xiao Tian. All eyes in the Spectator Stands were now on the two disciples of the Supreme Sword Sect. No one expected a third-tier sect to win the battle so impressively. The most humiliated in this competition was the Boundless Valley, as they lost three of their representatives on the very first day.She Xongjan, who was hovering in the air, looked around the arena and at everyone present. "Today's ma

    "Damn, this heirloom weapon is quite formidable," Xiao Tian thought as he continued to fight with full concentration. "He’s gaining additional power from his weapon. I can't keep this up. If this continues, it’s only a matter of time before I lose!"Assessing the situation, Xiao Tian realized he had no other choice. With firm resolve, he drew his mysterious rusted sword. However, something strange happened. Unlike before, the sword no longer gave him the usual cold sensation. Instead, the sword now radiated energy into his body, boosting Xiao Tian’s combat abilities to an extraordinary level.As the masked man swung his trident with full force, Xiao Tian leapt high, using the trident as a springboard to jump even higher. In an instant, he launched his ultimate attack."HUNDRED SWORD DANCE!" Xiao Tian's body suddenly split into a hundred figures, similar to a technique once used by Peizhi. However, there was a significant difference—each Xiao Tian figure wielded a sword imbued with two

    During their journey, they continued to chat casually. The ease of their conversation made time pass quickly until finally, a grand palace began to appear in the distance to Xiao Tian.She Yingping kindly said, "Brother Tian, this is my palace. In the future, if you need anything, don't hesitate to visit. However..." Her words trailed off, and her face showed a hint of awkwardness."Prince Eighth, what is it?" Xiao Tian immediately asked, sensing there was something difficult for She Yingping to express.With a bitter smile, She Yingping continued, "Brother Tian, I’m reluctant to mention this because I don't care much about it myself. However, not everyone has an open mind. I need to let you know that inside this palace, it's not just the three of us, but many others are waiting. Considering your background, I hope you won't be offended if there are words that might hurt your feelings."Xiao Tian smiled slightly. "I don’t care much about what others say. They can say whatever they lik

    Xiao Tian had returned to his residence. After taking out a black box adorned with a turtle motif, he sensed Liu Qingyun and the others around him.However, Xiao Tian did not want to disturb them. He went straight inside and began his training. "This resource might not help me break through to the next stage, but it can at least strengthen my foundation."He had stored some valuable resources from the pockets of those who had tried to kill him. Yet, Xiao Tian's needs for resources were different from others. After reaching the fifth rank as an Earth King, he realized that every bit of energy he absorbed seemed to disappear as if swallowed by the Earth."Strange, why can’t I use the energy already in my body to increase my energy circles? What’s wrong with my body?" Xiao Tian wondered.Unbeknownst to Xiao Tian, something terrifying lurked inside him, even the artifact spirit of the mysterious rusty sword was powerless against it.****The next morning, Xiao Tian and Liu Qingyun emerged

    Xiao Zimo didn’t blink. His breath was caught in his throat. “Who exactly is Xiao Tian? He possesses the same level of talent as His Excellency, the Supreme God, Xiao Jian.” His voice came out in a low tone as if he couldn’t believe what he was witnessing. Xiao Yue shook his head slowly, but his voice remained clear and calm, like a stream flowing through cracks in stone. “No, you’re wrong. Look at his face. He’s not resisting the pressure. That means he hasn’t reached his limit yet.” That sentence made everyone freeze. Their chests tightened as if the truth had slapped them awake. They stared at Xiao Tian, who stood calmly in midair as if he were merely standing on the ground—not under the immense pressure at two hundred thousand meters high. There were no signs of exhaustion. No trace of struggle. Even his breathing remained steady, like someone who had just finished a light exercise. Xiao Rui clenched his fists tighter. His fingernails had pierced into his flesh, and blood dripp

    “Damn it!” he cursed inwardly. He truly couldn’t go on. His ambition to carve his name beside Xiao Jian's had completely crumbled. The fact that he couldn’t even surpass Xiao Yue and Xiao Lian shattered the ego he had always held high. His jaw clenched tighter until the grinding of his teeth echoed from his jaw. His eyes turned sharp—not from determination to train harder, but from the birth of pure killing intent. A faint dark aura began to rise from his back, forming a vague but palpable intent. “Xiao Yue and Xiao Lian…” he muttered in his heart. “You both must die before growing any further. I don’t care how—I just can’t allow you to become stronger. Especially Xiao Lian. He’ll definitely get an invitation to return to the main clan. If that happens, he’ll become a threat beyond control!” With a bitter feeling, Xiao Rui finally raised his sword and carved his name on the golden pillar at a height of 24,500 meters. His left hand trembled as he etched the characters, the pressure

    Twenty-seven thousand meters. Twenty-eight thousand meters. Her body began to tremble violently. Her beautiful face turned slightly pale, but the determination in her eyes remained unwavering. Her breathing grew heavy, yet she continued to force herself upward, half a meter at a time. At that limit, Xiao Yue carved her name. Her movements were graceful yet carried absolute power. Flames and lightning erupted from the inscription, then flowed swiftly into her body, greatly enhancing her bloodline. Moreover, her understanding of the Dao and martial paths, which had previously been vague, suddenly became clear in her mind. A burst of light enveloped her body, but it posed no harm. On the contrary, it symbolized perfection. When Xiao Yue descended, she did not utter a single word. However, the aura emanating from her body had transformed. She now stood not only equal to Xiao Rui in terms of the realm, but even slightly surpassed him in stability and depth of energy. A serene glow radiat

    Xiao Tian watched it all from a distance. His eyes did not reveal surprise—only a quiet awe toward something deeper. “Who truly created that golden pillar?” he wondered. “It’s not just a tool to measure… it can align bloodline evolution and potential with each individual’s essence.” While the younger generation remained in awe over Xiao Lian’s soaring name and the benefits granted by the pillar, Xiao Tian’s thoughts had already pierced beyond the surface. He was not concerned with personal achievement alone. His mind was probing the grand secret hidden behind the towering golden monument before them. --- Xiao Tian silently acknowledged Xiao Lian’s talent. He hadn’t expected that the girl he could once defeat with ease would now leave her name twenty-five thousand meters high on the golden pillar. With a talent like that, even the core Xiao Clan would immediately grant her a high status—perhaps even consider her as a successor to the main bloodline. In contrast, Xiao Rui’s express

    Just as that thought faded, Long Hotian stepped forward. There was no arrogant aura, no piercing gaze. He walked like any ordinary youth taking a stroll in a quiet park. But the moment he shot into the sky, the atmosphere changed completely. The air rippled as if welcoming a hidden power within him. His body soared like an arrow, cutting through the sky without resistance. Fifty meters passed. Seventy. Eighty. Ninety. And soon, he surpassed one hundred meters with little difficulty. Each of his steps through the air seemed guided by an unshakable fate. When he reached ninety-eight meters, the pressure finally revealed its fangs. The air grew thick, and Long Hotian’s expression shifted slightly. But his gaze remained steady. In an instant, his body was engulfed in blazing red energy. His hair turned crimson, and his scorching aura surged. The energy of his bloodline exploded flawlessly, smashing through the pressure that tried to halt him. The golden pillar trembled faintly, respon

    On the other side, those who had failed stood frozen. Some stared at the sky. Others looked down at the ground. But all of them shared one thing in common—the emptiness in their eyes. When their names failed to be etched onto the golden pillar, their pride was torn apart by a truth that could not be denied. The title of genius they had carried with pride crumbled in an instant. Meanwhile, outside the realm of inheritance, in a vast and open observation hall, wave after wave of energy surged as the golden pillar continued to shine with eternal brilliance. "It seems the true inheritance has begun," murmured one elderly man. His tone was flat, but his breath caught slightly. Elsewhere, the eyes of the Death Gate Pavilion's master lit up. He stared high toward the golden pillar, and when he saw the name "Neo Jhinyu" engraved two meters above the others, his gaze narrowed with pride. "That name… Neo Jhinyu." His whisper was quiet but carried a deep, unshakable emotion. Another sect le

    Not a single person moved. Not a single voice spoke. Everyone now gazed at the golden pillar not with mere awe, but with reverence—with realization. That before them stood not just a symbol of immortality, but a path to true destiny. A path only for those willing to risk everything—even their pride and self-belief. Xiao Tian's expression remained calm. But everyone could see, in the stillness, a light ignited within his eyes. There were no cheers. No commentary. Only rising tension, as the awareness spread that the true trial had just begun. But before anyone could step forward, a sarcastic voice shattered the silence. "You all can carve your names first. Consider it a gift for those from the lower realms," Xiao Rui scoffed. Yet his voice no longer carried the weight it once had. Even his mockery felt hollow. The arrogance in his tone had already been eroded by the truth everyone had just witnessed. No one responded. Not a single person cared to engage. Even the geniuses from majo

    The golden light fused with him. It didn’t just surround him—it was absorbed. Every strand of his hair glowed softly. Every pore of his body drew in divine energy flowing from every corner of the inheritance realm. No one could deny it—the world was offering its deepest essence to Xiao Tian. This phenomenon was different. Whereas the golden light had previously only healed and slightly empowered those who emerged from the gate, now the inheritance realm was surrendering its essence. It was a supreme acknowledgment. A complete reverence. BOOM— An explosion of aura erupted. But it wasn’t a wild aura—it was an inward explosion, condensing the surrounding world. Xiao Tian opened his eyes. A sharp light flashed like lightning, then vanished. He clenched his fist. It felt like holding the world itself. "Just by standing here, I made two breakthroughs at once," he murmured quietly as if speaking to himself. His lips curled into a faint smile—not arrogant, but firm. "I’ve now reached the

    As Xiao Lian's steps had yet to fully stabilize amidst her resurgence, and her breath still intertwined with the golden world's aura, the light from the 'death' gate surged violently once more. BUZZ— A powerful tremor swept across the golden land. The previously serene air quivered under the energy waves emanating from the dark gate that had earlier accepted Xiao Lian. Now, with a vortex of dark light intermingled with divine radiance, three figures emerged from within. Xiao Rui, Xiao Zimo, and Xiao Yue. However, their emergence starkly contrasted with Xiao Lian's earlier return. There was no tranquility, no honor—only the aftermath of a journey through a concealed hell within that gate. Xiao Rui appeared in a dire state. His battle robe was torn, revealing bruised and bleeding skin. His body bore numerous injuries, and his breath was ragged as if he had narrowly escaped being buried alive. His legs wavered upon touching the golden ground, yet sheer willpower kept him upright
