Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

”You little thief, now I’d like to see just how you’re going to die!”

Wang Xiyan said viciously.

To be pushed into such a corner by someone at the Peak of Innate Realm Third Layer.

To feel the threat of death time and time again.

Wang Xiyan was in a very foul mood right now.

And Yang Xiao, this guy who had been annoying her ever since the lava cavern, was the perfect punching bag.

Especially just now, when this bastard had alerted that crazy woman.

She had almost succeeded.

”Wang Qianshan is your father?”

However, Yang Xiao’s first words left her completely bewildered.

She had expected the boy to be weeping and wailing, begging for mercy on his knees.

She never thought he would ask such a question.

”You know him?”

Wang Xiyan asked subconsciously.

But in the next instant, she sneered. ”Even if you know him, it’s useless. Forget just knowing him—even if it were him, if he offended the Young Master, I would kill him all the same!”

”So it seems he really is your father.”

Yang Xiao sighed softly.

”That’s right, he is my father. Are you connected to him? Good. After I kill you, I’ll go and kill him!”

A casual sentence, yet filled with resolve.

Yang Xiao was somewhat speechless.

’This woman is truly beyond saving.’

’Willing to kill even her own father for her so-called Young Master.’

’Too bad she won’t get the chance.’

”No need. He’s already dead, and I’m the one who killed him.”

”You… Haha, even better! Today, I’ll avenge him.”

Wang Xiyan started to laugh.

There wasn’t the slightest trace of grief on her face.

”It seems you really don’t care about him at all.”

”Why should I care about him? Everything I have now was given to me by the Young Master. He gave me an Immortal Dao Profound Technique, allowing me to ascend in a single leap. He gave me my current strength and status, allowing me to kill you all with ease. What did Wang Qianshan ever give me?”

”Life? Hmph, even if he did, it was only a life of a few decades. But what the Young Master has given me can let me live for hundreds of years, even thousands, or tens of thousands of years…”

”Alright, there’s no point in talking to you any more. Hand over the Inner Core and Essence Blood, and maybe, just maybe, I’ll spare you.”

A trace of mockery played on Wang Xiyan’s arrogant little face.

She loved toying with opponents weaker than herself at times like this.

Because they couldn’t beat her.

The vast majority of people would be willing to give anything for a glimmer of hope to survive.

And Wang Xiyan loved nothing more than to kill them when they were filled with hope.

It had to be said, this was a very twisted disposition.

It was quite a match for her earlier attitude toward Wang Qianshan.

Unfortunately, Yang Xiao disappointed her.

”Spare me? I’ll pass. You people killed the Earth Fire Qilin Beast, and I don’t plan on letting a single one of you go.”

After speaking, Yang Xiao directly swallowed the Inner Core in his hand.

In an instant, a massive amount of Fire Elemental Power surged out from it.

He guided it into his Qi Sea.

BOOM!

The red flame, which had already reached its limit, broke through its original bottleneck.

A breakthrough.

From the inside out.

Specks of orange began to continuously spread outwards.

Yang Xiao’s aura also began to grow stronger and stronger.

”You actually dared to swallow the Inner Core!”

Wang Xiyan’s expression changed in a flash.

She never, ever imagined that Yang Xiao would dare to do such a thing.

One must understand that a Barbaric Beast’s Inner Core cannot be consumed. It contains the chaotic bloodline of the Barbaric Beast, which is poisonous to the human body.

Moreover, the Inner Core is the condensed essence of a Barbaric Beast’s entire being.

The Primordial Power within it is different from the True Qi cultivated by humans, and also different from the Primordial Power of heaven and earth.

Swallowing it recklessly would bring absolutely no benefits; on the contrary, one’s body would explode, resulting in death.

Therefore, although Wang Xiyan had seen Yang Xiao constantly fiddling with the Inner Core, she never imagined he would dare to swallow it directly.

After all, this wasn’t a Spirit Medicine.

And it certainly wasn’t a Pill.

Even if it were a Spirit Medicine, given the grade of this Inner Core, it would be equivalent to a Peak Level 8 Spirit Medicine. At least an expert at the Young Master’s level would be needed to dare swallow it directly.

Otherwise, even she would have to be extremely cautious.

But now…

”Damn it, you deserve to die!”

She gritted her teeth, but it was too late.

Yang Xiao had already swallowed the Inner Core, including the two drops of Essence Blood that the Young Master absolutely had to obtain. Oh, no, it seemed there was only one drop left.

Who knows what method that guy used to actually fuse the two drops of Essence Blood into one.

But now, none of that mattered.

What mattered was that this guy was a dead man.

’Pity he won’t be dying by my hand.’

”Then why haven’t you made your move?”

A half-smile played on Yang Xiao’s lips.

”You think I don’t know what you’re thinking? Trying to lure me closer so the energy from your exploding body can injure me? Is that it? Too bad I’m not as stupid as you.”

Hearing this, Yang Xiao smiled once again.

’This woman.’

’She’s so cautious.’

’However, it was precisely her caution that gave me this chance to transform.’

’Otherwise, if she had taken this opportunity to attack me, I really don’t know what I would have done.’

And so, a full three minutes passed.

Wang Xiyan grew suspicious. ’How has this kid not exploded yet? Could it be… Oh no, he must have done something to that Inner Core!’

Her heart tightened. She was just about to take a step forward but pulled back again.

’Maybe he rigged it to suppress the Inner Core’s power, waiting for me to fall for it. Hmph, I, Wang Xiyan, will not be fooled.’

Thinking this, she began to wait again.

This time, another five minutes passed.

Wang Xiyan didn’t move.

Ten minutes passed.

She was getting restless.

Because the aura on Yang Xiao’s body was growing stronger and stronger.

But the chaotic energy inside his body was growing weaker and weaker.

’What if I guessed wrong? What if this kid isn’t suppressing the Inner Core, but refining its power? What then?’

’No, impossible. Even the Young Master doesn’t have that kind of ability. How could this kid… But what if he really can do it?’

Wang Xiyan was starting to waver.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

’Right, how could I have forgotten about that thing? With this, I can easily determine if the Inner Core is still there.’

Thinking this, Wang Xiyan shot a disdainful glance at Yang Xiao.

At the same time, she took out a small black flag from her Storage Ring.

With a gentle wave, a flash of red light surged out from the small flag.

It transformed into an illusory figure.

Seeing that figure, Yang Xiao’s expression changed instantly.

Because it was none other than the Earth Fire Qilin Beast.

At the same time, he also knew what this small flag was.

”A Soul-Catching Artifact! Damn it, you actually extracted the Earth Fire Qilin Beast’s soul! Unforgivable!”

Yang Xiao was furious.

He was filled with rage from head to toe.

Hearing the sudden voice, Wang Xiyan was startled at first, but when she saw it was Yang Xiao, her face filled with disdain again. She said coldly, ”I didn’t expect you to be so knowledgeable. A pity…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Yang Xiao was already in front of her.

He raised his hand and threw a punch.

This punch was world-shaking.

It carried the power to annihilate everything.

Even Yang Xiao himself could barely withstand such terrifying power.

But he still unleashed it.

BOOM!

It struck Wang Xiyan’s body.

In an instant, she was blasted to smithereens.

Shreds of flesh flew through the air, wreathed in flames, and were ultimately burned to nothing.

Flame Emperor Divine Fist.

The Technique with which Yang Xiao had proven his Dao in his first life.

Tyrannical.

Ferocious.

Unstoppable.

In his extreme rage, Yang Xiao had unleashed it.

With a single punch, he had utterly pulverized Wang Xiyan, an expert at the Innate Realm Eighth Layer.

Not even a trace of her soul or will could escape.

The power of this punch was at least at the Martial Grandmaster level, perhaps even more terrifying.

But he felt no pride.

Nor any happiness.

There was only an ever-deepening hatred.

Because the Earth Fire Qilin Beast’s soul had been refined!

Yang Xiao could not bear it.

”Xuan Tianzhan, you will die!”

His furious roar echoed between heaven and earth.

But just then, a sudden change occurred.

A terrifying pressure appeared out of thin air, bearing down on Yang Xiao with immense force.
