Only My Way

“…”

“Such extensive destruction…”

Gazing at the marks below.

The remnants left by that dragon beast, resembling a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

One of the duo, a minor pair, couldn't help but reveal a deep look of vigilance.

“This thing's combat power is probably close to the Manifest Intent Realm…”

Although twenty days had passed, this insignificant amount of time was completely negligible compared to the overall destruction. The environment's natural restorative abilities were utterly incapable of effectively repairing the chaotic scene.

Therefore.

Even now, the traces in this place were still incredibly conspicuous, and even the high temperature had not yet dissipated.

Under the influence of some power.

Everyone could still see the air, or rather the airflow, in this area exhibiting a particularly distorted form. This was the effect exerted by the scorching heat, as if the entire area nearby was a scorching desert region, rather than an island.

As for the large hole that had been blasted out.

It was not much different from before.

Like a fountain.

Scorching lava continued to pour out incessantly.

It had already formed a crimson high-temperature lava lake in the nearby area, so large that, in Ling Wuyuan's previous life's world, it would have been perfectly acceptable to call it a large inland sea.

However.

This world was relatively large.

Even a landmass with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers was just an island here.

So, naturally, that thing could only be considered an inland lake, not an inland sea at all.

At this moment, looking out.

The scorching lava from the depths of the earth seemed to be a venomous substance frantically corroding the environment.

The high temperatures and poisonous gases they released were making the already harsh environment of this area even harsher…

Even many strong dragon-type creatures chose to stay away from this place.

However, relatively speaking, this special extreme environment also attracted certain creatures who favored this kind of environment.

For example, under the gaze of the duo, a creature somewhat resembling a four-legged big-headed fish was frolicking wildly in the lava lake, as if celebrating something.

Looking at these scenes.

After hesitating for a while.

One of the duo chose to take out a special item to test the environment.

Soon after.

After fiddling with that special item for a while, he came to a conclusion.

“There are traces of residual True Qi nearby.”

“This scene is probably the result of a cultivator fighting with a native creature.”

Hearing this.

The other person was slightly stunned at first, and then his eyes lit up immediately.

“Can you determine who won?”

The person who had taken out the equipment to test the scene shook his head and said:

“Hard to say.”

“A native creature capable of causing such a scene, even if it isn't the overlord-level native creature that dominates an area, is probably not far from it. And a cultivator capable of fighting it to such a state is at least a top powerhouse in the Spirit Nurturing Realm, definitely someone who has been immersed in the Spirit Nurturing Realm for a long time… If the two sides really fought to the death, it's really hard to say who would win or lose.”

The other person did not give up easily and continued to ask:

“Is that so… Then should we look for other traces?”

“What if there's a bargain to be picked up?”

He said with a smile:

“A mutually destructive outcome is best, one side dying and the other heavily injured is second best… If we're lucky enough, we might be able to pick up a bargain.”

Hearing these words.

His teammate did not refute anything.

After all, what he said was exactly what both of them were thinking.

In this regard.

The two of them were completely of one mind.

Not taking advantage of a bargain would make them fools!

In short, no one could resist the temptation brought by picking up a bargain.

As for whether things would be bad?

Sorry.

They didn't have much conscience.

Just that.

Although extremely tempted.

As a teammate, the person who had just spoken still reminded him:

“There aren't many Spirit Nurturing Realm cultivators who can successfully enter this Dragon Beast Mountain Range, and most of them are members from various large forces. Compared to us poor free cultivators, they are likely to have some special trump cards… If we really want to target them, we only have one choice, and that is to kill them with one blow!!!”

“Otherwise, once they use their trump cards, even if they are already seriously injured, we still have the possibility of failing!!!”

“Moreover… there are still some people among them that we absolutely cannot afford to offend, such as the four explorers from the Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion. Although I don't know what the identities of the other three are, the male guy among them must be Ling Wuyuan, who has been extremely famous recently…”

“Even though he is only in the Source Gathering Realm, with our strength, I'm afraid we really can't beat him…”

“That guy's strength is a bit too strong.”

“Moreover, he must have all kinds of trump cards, such as body protection methods from the Divine Power Realm. With just the two of us, it's impossible for us to do anything to him…”

Hearing his teammate mention Ling Wuyuan and the Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion, the other person showed a feeling of dissatisfaction and some envy, jealousy, and hatred, wanting to say that he was not afraid of Ling Wuyuan and the Snow Moon Cloud Heaven Pavilion at all, but after opening his mouth, he ultimately did not say anything.

No way.

It's okay for everyone to deceive others.

Deceive yourself?

There's really no need for that…

You can deceive your brothers, but don't deceive yourself.

Even if he hadn't personally arrived at the scene to witness Ling Wuyuan's unscathed wheel battle against thousands of Source Gathering Realm cultivators, just hearing the rumors alone made him feel amazed, inferior, and doubtful about life… deeply feeling that Ling Wuyuan was not human at all.

After all, he was very clear about the level of those geniuses from various countries, those geniuses who could reach the Spirit Nurturing Realm at a young age.

Back then.

When he was still young.

He had also stayed in the White Mist Nation's Hero List — Fifteenth Place for a year or two.

So he knew very well how powerful those guys ranked higher were. Among the most powerful ones, each of them could easily kill ordinary Spirit Nurturing Realm cultivators with the strength of the Source Gathering Realm. Even he now, who had already reached the age of one hundred, did not dare to say that he could definitely steadily win against those rising stars ranked at the top of the Hero List…

However.

The guy he didn't dare to say he could steadily win against was completely beaten like a dog when facing Ling Wuyuan…

This kind of strength made him really unable to understand.

“I know what I'm doing. If it's really the kind of guy we can't afford to offend at all, we'll quietly observe for a while and then run away.”

“Very good.”

It could only be said that Ling Wuyuan's reputation was indeed well-known.

Even the old fogeys who had always looked down on young juniors were afraid of him by three points, and did not dare to provoke him actively at all. There was no situation where everyone wanted to step on him.
