"We dare not compare ourselves to Senior Brother; he is a peerless sword immortal whom even the Sect Master highly regards!" said a delicate woman with a melon-seed face beside him, her eyes shining with admiration.
"Yes, yes, Senior Brother will protect the world and us in the future!"
"Senior Brother, we few are counting on you to protect us..."
The girls around chattered, their eyes fixed on the young man.
It turned out they were disciples of the Tianshan Sword Palace.
The Tianshan Sword Palace was an extremely renowned sword sect in the Eastern Wilderness.
Although not a Holy Land, it was already a top-tier force among the elite.
If they could produce a peerless expert, the Tianshan Sword Palace's promotion to a Holy Land would be a certainty.
The young man, Li Jianchen, was a disciple taken in by the Sect Master a few years ago. He was born with a sword heart, possessing profound comprehension of the sword.
He was a born prodigy of the sword path.
At only eighteen years old, he had already reached the state of Sword Heart Clarity.
His cultivation realm had also reached the Spirit River Realm, making him the foremost prodigy of the Tianshan Sword Palace.
This time, the Sect Master had arranged for Li Jianchen to descend the mountain for tempering, and to bring a few junior sisters along for some tasks.
"Xueman, Taotao, Caishan, let's go. Don't delay, or we'll have to camp outside again tonight!" Li Jianchen interrupted his junior sisters' chatter and continued.
The few junior sisters nodded, their desire unfulfilled, and then walked forward.
"Senior Brother, what's that over there?" Yao Caishan suddenly pointed towards the direction of Tianfeng City and asked.
Li Jianchen looked in the direction Yao Caishan indicated, his pupils shrinking. That was...
Above Tianfeng City, countless bolts of lightning were striking with abandon.
All the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be drawn to the lightning power there.
The area where Tianfeng City was located seemed to have transformed into an ocean of lightning.
"Xueman, isn't that the direction of your home?" Xiang Tao on the side seemed to recall something and said.
Lin Xueman's brows furrowed. She felt a great unease in her heart, but she didn't know what was happening.
"Since it's Xueman's home, let's go take a look!" Li Jianchen then said.
The women nodded, and then they headed towards Tianfeng City.
...
Tianfeng City Ancestral Land.
Inside the ancestral land's secret chamber.
Jiang Li was already exuding a powerful oppressive aura.
Countless golden lights flickered on Jiang Li's body.
The surroundings of the ancestral land were also ravaged by lightning strikes.
Only this secret chamber, seemingly due to Jiang Li's presence, remained indestructible, save for the area above his head which had been penetrated by lightning.
Innumerable lightning energies seemed to have transformed into nourishment, absorbed by Jiang Li's body.
Xuantian Supreme Being beside him had suffered a significant damage to his soul power, but the light in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
It succeeded, it truly succeeded... Xuantian Supreme Being kept exclaiming.
This secret art was truly effective, I, Xuantian Supreme Being, am the number one genius of all time...
Lin Dong outside was already covered in bloody wounds. A powerful will supported him, preventing him from falling unconscious.
Due to the lack of spiritual energy protection, Lin Dong endured extreme pain from the lightning strikes.
"Jiang Li... it's you again..." Lin Dong gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with a bloodthirsty light that seemed capable of devouring Jiang Li whole.
Under the bombardment of lightning power, the human-skin mask on Jiang Li's face had shattered, revealing his original features.
Although his temperament had been transformed by the essence blood of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, giving him an unparalleled aura,
Lin Dong would never forget this face. It was this person who had stolen his Yun Xi.
However, at this moment, Lin Dong could only rage impotently. With his spiritual energy sealed, he was unable to inflict any harm on Jiang Li.
After a long while, Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes.
It seemed that mysterious golden particles were flowing within Jiang Li's body.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
Jiang Li unleashed a punch with great force at the nearby stone wall.
A violent roar instantly erupted.
The stone wall in the secret chamber was directly pierced by the immense strength, creating a large pit.
My strength has increased by at least 10 times!
Jiang Li's heart burned with fervor, and it felt as if infinite power surged within his body.
"Young man, the perfect and flawless Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, it has truly succeeded. I, Xuantian, am indeed a genius!" Xuantian Supreme Being roared with laughter.
Jiang Li also nodded. To be honest, this secret art was quite good, helping him condense the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
Although his realm had not broken through, with Jiang Li's current strength, dealing with an ordinary Spirit River Realm expert would only take a few punches.
"Old man, I need to discuss something with you!" Suddenly, Jiang Li spoke to Xuantian Supreme Being beside him.
Xuantian Supreme Being was startled. What did this young man want?
"Speak! You don't need to thank me, just do as you promised!" Xuantian Supreme Being waved his hand.
Jiang Li's expression was peculiar. Had this old man misunderstood something?
"What I mean is, can you..." Jiang Li spoke softly.
Concurrently, the Ethereal Fire within his body condensed at his fist, and unrestrained power gathered in Jiang Li's right hand.
Bang!!!
Jiang Li threw a heavy punch.
Xuantian Supreme Being's expression changed drastically. What did this young man intend to do? Did he want to kill me?
Has this fellow gone mad? I helped him condense the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, and he wants to kill me?
"Please die!!!" Jiang Li then shouted loudly.
The fist arrived, and the Ethereal Fire, carrying its extreme flames, and the peerless power of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, directly pierced through Xuantian Supreme Being.
Xuantian Supreme Being's face was filled with regret. If only I had known... I shouldn't have... shouldn't have...
He never imagined that Jiang Li, after agreeing not to kill his clansmen, had no intention of letting him go!
Xuantian Supreme Being's soul form, already extremely weak, was instantly annihilated by the overbearing and peerless assault of the Ethereal Fire and the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
White particles scattered everywhere.
A generation's Supreme Being vanished into thin air, leaving no trace in the world.
"No!!!"
Lin Dong beside him roared loudly. How dared Jiang Li? That was a Supreme Being, he dared to kill a Supreme Being?
Has he gone mad?
Lin Dong was on the verge of complete madness. This Jiang Li was a lunatic. This was a Supreme Being, and furthermore, this Desolate Ancient Sacred Body was his fortuitous encounter. Why, why?
Looking at the dissipating remnant soul of the Supreme Being before him, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Xuantian Supreme Being was truly at his end, unable to withstand even one of his punches.
However, this was for the best. From now on, only he would know the [Inverse Immortal Yuan Seizing Art].
Next, it was time to deal with Lin Dong. Jiang Li turned around and looked at Lin Dong with a cold expression.
Hope everything goes smoothly. Killing the first Destined Protagonist.
Lin Dong's expression became extremely terrified.
Jiang Li, who even dared to kill a Supreme Being, how could he let himself go?
What to do? What to do? What to do?
Lin Dong's mind was in chaos. He wasn't afraid of death, but he didn't want to die while his enemy remained at large and carefree.
"Swish!!!"
Jiang Li waved his right hand, and a Raging Flame Dragon Soul Spear, shimmering with cold light, appeared in his hand.
Immediately after, Jiang Li charged towards Lin Dong with extreme speed, his spear containing ultimate power.
"Stop!!!"
Just as Jiang Li's spear was about to pierce Lin Dong, a hurried shout came from afar.
