Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Separated by thousands of miles, he was intercepted again.

This made him start to think.

When the experts from the Tower of Marvels broke in years ago, they didn't encounter this situation. If they had, Qing Yue wouldn't have kept it a secret.

This means that when the experts from the Tower of Marvels came in, they had a very smooth journey until they reached the core area, where they encountered terrifying attacks.

The core area is a place of great misfortune, lurking with terrifying slaughter.

If that's the case, why bother intercepting him along the way? Wouldn't it be better to let him go to the core area to his doom?

"Could it be that something has changed in the core area? If that's the case, are there still living beings in this secret land watching all of this, using the formation to block me, not wanting me to go to that area?"

Jun Wuxie looked at the strange woman on the great river's raging waves, thinking a lot and deducing some possibilities.

The current situation is illogical, which makes him have to think more.

"Then I have to get to the core area as soon as possible to see what's going on, and whether it's as I thought!"

Having thought this through, Jun Wuxie stepped onto the great river.

Rumble!

The huge waves rolled and surged, with great momentum.

He waved his sword and slashed forward, the aura of the mortal world sword qi crisscrossing, breaking the incoming waves from the middle.

However, when the sword qi broke through halfway, it could no longer continue forward.

The impact of the waves became much more violent.

The separated waves, rolling, suddenly dispersed, condensing into countless sword qi, clanging and resounding, attacking from all directions, covering the sky and the earth.

The sword qi was too dense.

Faced with such an attack, Jun Wuxie stepped on the 'Line' character incantation, and even used the means of the Rune Dao, but still couldn't avoid all the sword qi. There was simply no room to dodge.

He waved the Primal Sword Embryo, dodging with his movement technique while blocking.

The power of the sword qi was extremely strong. Every time the Primal Sword Embryo blocked, it shook his arm, causing it to tremble.

"It is still the pinnacle of the Extreme Heavenly Realm. With my current strength, it is difficult to compete head-on!"

He summoned the Qiankun Battle Armor, no longer blocking, and endured the attack, waving the sword embryo, condensing the intent of the soldiers and instantly slashing out thousands of swords.

The sword qi split the waves forward, crisscrossing on the great river, but was defeated by the water sword qi from all directions, making it difficult to reach the woman's body.

At this moment, a huge wave suddenly surged from the river, and a huge monster rushed out, waving countless tentacles, striking his body.

The great river sword qi and the metal-like tentacles were powerful and heavy, sending him flying. Even with the Qiankun Battle Armor, he still felt his blood churning and his muscles aching.

"Two Extreme Heavenly Realm experts who were in the late stage of the legends before their death!"

Jun Wuxie was blasted back to the river bank. Then he saw several huge monsters emerging from the river one after another.

They were all octopus-like creatures, but not quite octopuses. They had hideous mouths filled with dense, sharp fangs, and their bodies and tentacles were covered with scales, their whole bodies rotting, flowing with rotten liquid.

"Six tentacle creatures, plus that woman, a total of seven Extreme Heavenly Realm experts!"

Jun Wuxie's eyes narrowed slightly. In this situation, if he didn't use his trump cards, even wearing the Qiankun Battle Armor and using all his skills, it would be impossible to break through, let alone injure the target.

"If I use the Myriad Dragons God-Slaying Formation, I can easily solve it, but each time the Myriad Dragons God-Slaying Formation is used, it will consume a lot of energy and take time to recover. I must keep such a trump card at its peak killing power and save it for use when entering the core area…"

In fact, he doesn't need the Myriad Dragons God-Slaying Formation. With Lan Lan's divine power, he can kill the things in the river.

But he suspects that in this secret land, there are living beings secretly spying on him with the help of the formation.

Whether it's the Myriad Dragons God-Slaying Formation or Lan Lan, they can be used as trump cards. At critical moments, they can have important effects and cannot be exposed at this time. When entering the core area, he must be fully prepared.

Thinking of this, Jun Wuxie quickly retreated.

The woman and the tentacle creatures roared and rushed to the water surface close to the river bank, roaring at him.

The waves soared into the sky, evolving into countless sword qi, covering the sky and earth, killing him.

Boom!

The tentacles shattered the sky and lashed over.

However, Jun Wuxie retreated beyond their maximum attack range, making it difficult for their attacks to reach him, separated by thousands of miles of the great river.

Now it can be seen that the woman and the tentacle creatures cannot leave the river, cannot go ashore, and cannot pursue him.

"They are all dead creatures. Relying solely on the formation to control the strong who have died for countless years to attack, and still be able to exert their strength before their death, this seems unlikely. If this is the case, wouldn't the Rune Masters be invincible?"

Jun Wuxie pondered, feeling that there was something strange in this. In addition to the power of the formation, other methods should have been planted in those corpses, but he couldn't see it with his vision.

"I'll break you when I break through the realm!"

He no longer delayed, and sat down on the top of a small hill on the plain thousands of miles away from the great river, calmed his mind, and released the Primal Avatar to be on guard.

He incorporated the Dao Fruit of the early stage of the Extreme Heavenly Realm into the cave, and began to refine it by running the exercises.

The power of the Dao Fruit of the early stage of the Extreme Heavenly Realm was gradually decomposed, swallowed by the Natal Stars in the rotating Taiji Star Sea, refined and purified by the World-Grinding Wheel, and poured into the Star Sea.

The energy of the Dao Fruit was already extremely pure, and it could be said that there were no impurities, but the World-Grinding Wheel was extremely special. Even the purest energy would have impurities stripped from it after being ground by it, which made the special energy absorbed and fused by Jun Wuxie even purer.

Although doing so was somewhat wasteful, it could make his foundation particularly stable and deep in the process of increasing his realm.

This process was neither fast nor slow.

Time passed day by day.

On the fourth day, he completely refined the group of Dao Fruit of the early stage of the Extreme Heavenly Realm.

After that, he absorbed the dark energy from the corpse of the dark spirit powerhouse given by his cheap father-in-law.

While the golden Star Sea was rapidly growing under the power of the Dao Fruit, the ink-colored Star Sea also grew with it because it was supplemented with pure dark energy, always maintaining consistent growth.

On the fifth day, a brilliant golden glow erupted from his body, and a golden beam soared into the sky. The momentum in his body was earth-shattering, like a tsunami. Every pore in his body exuded golden glow, his hair was surrounded by golden light, and every inch of his skin was flowing with precious radiance.

His aura instantly soared!

He broke through!

Middle stage of the Great Heavenly Realm!

The power of the Heavenly Realm Dao Fruit is truly extraordinary. Cultivating with it, the speed of breakthrough is astonishingly fast.

He only completely refined the Dao Fruit yesterday, and broke through a small step after a day of fusion.

Feeling the increase in power, Jun Wuxie only felt extremely comfortable all over.

What he likes and desires most when cultivating is this moment. The feeling brought by the moment of breakthrough gives people endless confidence and pleasure.

Just breaking through a small step is certainly not the full effect of absorbing the power of the Heavenly Realm Dao Fruit. After all, this is the Dao Fruit of the early stage of the Extreme Heavenly Realm.

It has its own particularity, and it cannot be compared with Jun Wuxie directly swallowing those Extreme Heavenly Realm powerhouses. This is a lossless energy conversion.

Sixth day.

A blazing beam rose from his body again, breaking through the clouds, and his strength soared again, and a powerful aura swept across the universe.

Late stage of the Great Heavenly Realm!

"This breakthrough speed is so refreshing. The Heavenly Realm Dao Fruit is more precious than any resource for the semi-sage!"

His mood was extremely joyful and excited.

At this realm, the power of the Heavenly Realm Dao Fruit has not been completely fused. His realm is still continuing to climb, without any shackles or bottlenecks, as if it is a matter of course. On the seventh day, he rushed to the peak realm of the Great Heavenly Realm, and is still continuing to impact upwards.

Eighth day.

He reached the full circle realm of the Great Heavenly Realm.

He thought that he could only reach this realm at most.

What shocked him was that the realm continued to rise.

He quickly concentrated and calmed his mind, guiding the energy of those Dao Fruits to impact the Extreme Realm field.

However, the power of the Dao Fruit did not help him break through the Extreme Realm smoothly, and it was exhausted.

The Dao Fruit of the early stage of the Extreme Heavenly Realm is already very rare to enable him to break through so many realms.

He estimated that the owner of this Dao Fruit must have been a very powerful cultivator in the same realm before his death, and the intensity of his talent growth must have stepped into the realm of ancient legends, otherwise it would not be so outrageous.

Now the energy of the Dao Fruit is exhausted and cannot break through the Extreme Realm barrier.

He immediately took the Hundred Rui Fruit.

The medicinal qi of the Hundred Rui Fruit turned into a majestic energy in the body, gathered together with the power of the Dao Fruit to impact.

Boom!

His body shook violently, and his brain buzzed instantly, and there was a brief blankness of consciousness, but he quickly regained his perception, only feeling that he had instantly stepped into a mysterious and familiar field, and his overall strength greatly increased.

This momentum did not stop there.

The effect of the Hundred Rui Fruit was very powerful, causing him to rush all the way to the Extreme Realm, the Small Completion of the Extreme Realm, the Great Completion of the Extreme Realm, and directly to the peak!

When he got here, the realm could no longer be improved.

He carefully sensed it and found that the road ahead became very blurred, making him feel that he didn't know where to find a breakthrough.

The Extreme Heavenly Realm is different from other realms. Breaking through will be very difficult. Even with his talent and understanding, it is impossible to find a breakthrough path instantly and needs time to slowly ponder.

However, if there is a Heavenly Realm Dao Fruit of a higher grade, it will not be so troublesome. Using the power of the Dao Fruit can directly step into the Extreme Heavenly Realm, so the Heavenly Realm Dao Fruit will appear so precious.

Jun Wuxie took a deep breath and began to stabilize his own realm. It took a full day. On the tenth day, he finally completed the entire process of breakthrough and realm stabilization.

Then, he entered the Eternal Life Temple and stepped into the Tomb of Soldiers to accept the forging of the intent of the soldiers.

In the ruthless tempering of the intent of the soldiers, his realm became more solid, and his physical strength gradually reached the limit height of this realm.

Unbeknownst to him, as he underwent the tempering of martial intent, Vermilion Bird and Ye Qingxue were silently watching him from within the Zhenyu Tower's space.

"Princess, are you really not planning to help the Young Master this time?"

Vermilion Bird's intellectual and gentle voice held a hint of worry, "Although he possesses many trump cards and has Lan Lan's assistance, this endeavor is exceptionally dangerous, a matter of life and death. A single misstep could lead to eternal damnation."

Ye Qingxue, clad in white that outshone snow, with her waterfall-like black hair gently swaying, possessed a face of otherworldly beauty, yet her expression remained serene and detached.

She paused in silence upon hearing this, then sighed, "His path is his own to walk. He has his own karma. Didn't I come through the same way back then? Aunt You, you entered the Heavenly Emperor realm many years before me, and should understand more than I do. But your current concern for him has already skewed your mindset."

Vermilion Bird paused, looking at Ye Qingxue with some surprise, and said, "The Princess is actually putting Aunt You in her place. Isn't it you who cares about him the most? Who is it that acts heartlessly in person but secretly grieves behind the scenes?"

Ye Qingxue smiled faintly and said, "In any case, we cannot interfere with his own karma, lest we disrupt his fortune. What we need to do is help him block the karma that was not originally his, karma that someone has imposed on him through special means. Back when he first embarked on the path of cultivation, I frequently intervened to lay a foundation for him. Now that he has grown to this stage, he should solve future problems himself."

"Isn't the Princess afraid that he will fall on this path?"

"Whether he lives or dies, I will be by his side..." Ye Qingxue sighed softly, "Aunt You, you also know that this is a deadlock, not subject to our will. If we interfere with his growth, then he will be destined not to reach that height in the future, and there will be no hope for the future, so we can only watch. Although this place is dangerous, he is not facing a powerhouse capable of delivering a dimensionality reduction attack. If he can fight for a glimmer of hope, then we have no reason to intervene."

"Perhaps."

Vermilion Bird did not argue with her further.

She knew very well in her heart that even if Ye Qingxue said so, would she really stand idly by when the time came?

She herself couldn't bear it, let alone Ye Qingxue?

If one were to say who Ye Qingxue cared about most in this world, besides the Young Master, there probably wouldn't be anyone else.

This could be seen from the fact that she always wore that bronze mask and often stroked the mask in a daze.
