Myriad Dragon Divine Sovereign

High in the sky, a few others were also exceptionally powerful. One of them, a disciple from Absolute Peak, stood beside Hua Du, deferring to his every command. He had already made several moves, helping Hua Du snatch two Returning Fragrance Pills.

Several others also possessed extraordinary strength. They dove into the crowd one by one, unstoppable, like tigers among a flock of sheep. However, they didn’t fight each other, seeming to intentionally avoid one another as they each scrambled for their own share.

No one noticed Wen Qingye, who was sitting cross-legged to the side.

Within Wen Qingye’s Qi Sea, a faint simmering had begun. The Coffin Fungus continuously spat out black Essence, delivering it to every corner of his body.

As this black energy circulated, Wen Qingye’s own aura grew steadily. Then, gradually, the flow of black energy from the Coffin Fungus began to slow down.

’It’s almost ready. I’ll use this opportunity for another breakthrough.’

Ripples stirred in Wen Qingye’s heart, which had been as still as a tranquil pool. A peculiar sensation quietly washed over him, and the feeling of being saturated with Primordial Qi grew ever more distinct.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Several streams of black energy rushed into Wen Qingye’s body in what seemed to be the Coffin Fungus’s final burst of power. The fungus itself slowly began to dissipate, vanishing into nothingness within Wen Qingye’s Qi Sea, while the last few thick streams of black energy surged frantically into his body.

The black energy gradually vanished into Wen Qingye’s body, nourishing every part of him.

HUMMM!

Instantly, Wen Qingye felt his mind become utterly clear and serene. The aura within his body surged violently, and his Primordial Qi transformed into a boundless, churning ocean.

Another breakthrough! Destruction Realm Third Heaven!

SNAP!

Wen Qingye’s eyes snapped open, a soul-stirring light pulsing within his pitch-black pupils. He slowly rose to his feet. He could feel an explosive power coursing through him, making him immeasurably stronger than he was moments ago.

Not only had he avoided the need to expel the sinister energy from the Coffin Fungus, but his cultivation had also broken through two consecutive levels. Such a surge in strength was simply beyond words.

High in the sky, dozens of people were still fighting, the air crackling and surging with explosive bursts of Primordial Qi.

Just then, Sunx Li slowly walked over to Wen Qingye, his face etched with worry. ”Junior Brother, are you alright? I think we should head back. Once Hua Du snaps out of it, with his temper, he’ll definitely come looking for you.”

”I’m fine, Senior Brother Sunx. I have a Junior-Level Emperor Grade Healing Elixir here. Take it. Just give me a moment.”

”But...” Seeing the determination in Wen Qingye’s eyes, Sunx Li trailed off, swallowing the rest of his words.

”Hahaha! This Returning Fragrance Pill is mine! I’d like to see who dares to challenge me for it!” Hua Du roared with laughter, snatching another one from the air.

The surrounding crowd saw the man behind Hua Du, exchanged glances, and finally retreated helplessly.

Seeing this, Hua Du threw his head back and laughed again, his voice filled with unrestrained arrogance.

Wen Qingye watched Hua Du in the sky, his right hand tightening around the hilt of Bladeless, which was planted in the ground. He chuckled. ”Now, it’s just getting started.”

At that moment, Hua Du suddenly felt the hair on his skin stand on end, as if an overwhelmingly powerful aura had locked onto him. He couldn’t help but look back. When he saw who it was, he visibly relaxed and broke into a savage grin.

”Wen Qingye, you really have a death wish, don’t you? I already showed you mercy earlier. I didn’t expect you to be so clueless. Today, I’ll show you what a true genius is!”

With a loud shout, Hua Du pushed off the air with his toes. Primordial Qi rippled beneath his feet as his body shot forward, covering the distance to Wen Qingye in an instant. His Fist Force was ferocious and explosive, as swift as the wind.

”Wind Calm Unrivaled!”

A brilliant cyan light flashed, flooding everyone’s vision. It was as if the air itself was fracturing, tiny cyan fissures appearing where it was shattered by the sheer force of the punch.

”Hmph!”

Wen Qingye snorted coldly. He watched the boundless cyan light erupt, his eyes as calm as still water. Only when the gale reached him did he suddenly swing his sword.

No one present had noticed Wen Qingye’s explosive increase in aura, not even Miaoxuan.

It seemed like an ordinary slash, but the heavy Bladeless carried the momentum of a mountain.

’This is bad!’

Hua Du roared in his mind. He felt as if he were standing alone in a vast, endless sea, battered by a relentless storm. Fear flooded his eyes, and his body began to tremble.

BANG!

A loud crash echoed out. Hua Du’s body was sent flying like a kite with a snapped string before crashing heavily to the ground.

Meanwhile, Wen Qingye’s expression remained calm and indifferent from beginning to end. He stood in his original spot, unmoving.

Everyone present froze, stopping what they were doing to stare at Wen Qingye, dumbfounded.

The next moment, a deafening uproar erupted across Danxuan Peak.

”What was that? What just happened?”

”One move! Wen Qingye defeated Hua Du in a single move!”

”How is that possible? A moment ago, he was no match for Hua Du!”

”Look at that sword mark on the ground! It’s incredible!”

The shocking sword mark on the ground was a testament to the power of Wen Qingye’s casual strike.

Mo Qing watched Wen Qingye’s sudden eruption of power and couldn’t help but frown. ”This Wen Qingye... he suddenly became so much stronger. How bizarre.”

”Brother Wen, you’re amazing!”

Seeing Wen Qingye’s incredible display of power, Yum Baobao jumped up and down, cheering loudly.

The four disciples from Forget-Life Peak standing nearby, however, had extremely sour expressions. One of them immediately began to jeer, ”Hmph, so what if he beat Hua Du? If he’s got real skill, let’s see him beat Mao Huayuan.”

”Exactly! Hua Du is only at Destruction Realm Third Heaven. If he’s so great, he should fight Mao Huayuan from Absolute Peak!”

”That’s right! Senior Brother Liu is correct!”

Yum Baobao’s eyes were currently glued to Wen Qingye, and she paid no attention to the words of the four beside her.

Sprawled on the ground, Hua Du stared at Wen Qingye in astonishment. ”Why? Why did you suddenly become so strong?”

Wen Qingye looked down at the prone Hua Du and sneered, ”Didn’t you want to show me a true genius? You? You’re not even worthy of being called trash.”

Wen Qingye’s words were resonant and powerful, echoing through the air.

”You!”

Staring into Wen Qingye’s disdainful eyes and hearing his merciless words, especially in front of such a large crowd, Hua Du was overcome with extreme humiliation. His eyes turned bloodshot, and a murderous intent began to shine within them.

”Mao Huayuan, kill him for me! I want him dead!”

The man who had been standing behind Hua Du nodded grimly, his eyes fixed on Wen Qingye. ”With me here, he won’t be able to cause any more trouble.”

”Is that so?”

Wen Qingye looked at Mao Huayuan before him and tilted his head back with a laugh.

CLANG!

With a resonant clang, Wen Qingye casually thrust Bladeless into the ground beside him. The sword embedded itself so deeply it looked as if it had been forged into the earth.

Only then did the crowd’s attention fall upon Wen Qingye’s sword. Its Sword Body was pitch-black, heavy, and exceptionally wide. A faint red glow emanated from it. And while it appeared plain and unremarkable, it exuded a domineering, intimidating aura.
