"How is that possible? You are only at the 5th level of the Spirit realm. How can you defeat me so easily?"

The spear-wielding man was slumped on the ground, heavily injured and in a miserable state. His eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Chen Yao in disbelief.

No one would believe that a person at the peak of the Spirit realm could be defeated by a warrior at the fifth level of the Spirit realm in one strike.

Chen Yao was such a monstrous genius.

Chen Yao's eyes were filled with shock as he looked at the severely injured man who had lost an arm. Scarlet Refined Sword was a medium-grade earth-step weapon. Although it didn't have the support of a sword skill just now, just the might of the Scarlet Refined Sword itself was enough to hack apart a thousand-year-old ancient tree.

The spear-wielding man's body was clearly made of flesh and blood, but he hadn't been cut apart by the Scarlet Blade. This was completely unscientific; the only explanation was that the spear-wielding man had practiced a body tempering cultivation technique.

Mount Tai's Martial Ancestor Ouyang valued physical body refinement greatly, but he was after the power of the physical body. He specialized in domineering cultivation.

Chen Yao couldn't help but think about it. Although his body had been tempered once by primal chaos energy, it was still incomplete. If it was strengthened by the Taishan Martial Ancestor, then it would be extremely beautiful.

With a quick step, Chen Yao arrived beside the spear-wielding man. With a red sword in hand, he pointed at the spear-wielding man's head and said, "Hand over the body tempering manual and I'll spare your life."

The spearman's face was filled with fear as he said, "The body tempering technique is a secret that cannot be revealed by my Mt. Tai Martial Ancestor. If I hand it to you, I will die when I return to the sect."

Chen Yao said indifferently, "But if you don't shout out, you'll have to die right now. You'll only have one chance."

Chen Yao's tone turned ice-cold.

The Scarlet Blade in his hand began to increase in spiritual energy, and blood began to flow out from between the spear-wielding man's eyebrows.

He was finally afraid as a white jade token appeared in his hand.

When Chen Yao received it, a message was sent into Chen Yao's mind. An Earth-ranked middle grade body tempering technique, the 'Astral Body Training Tactic'. To use the power of the sun, moon, and stars to strengthen one's own body was extremely exquisite.

I spent a lot of contribution points to exchange for this cultivation technique from the Martial Arts Pavilion. It's a piece of debris, there's a total of ten layers, and right now, there's only seven layers left. The disciples with the best talent in the Martial Ancestor Realm only managed to train it to the sixth layer, and it's invulnerable.

"I've given you such a precious item. I hope you'll keep your promise and let me go."

For the man with the gun, being able to live was the most important thing.

He didn't expect that this body tempering technique was only a fragment while this man with the spear was only at the third level and was already so powerful. If he could reach the seventh level, then wouldn't he also have the Unbreakable Body?

It was known to all that swordsmen focused on attack and not defense. Therefore, if one had the Unbreakable Body, it would be like adding wings to a tiger for swordsmen.

In the future, if he had the opportunity to find the entire Stellar Body Refinement Art and master it to perfection, he might even die.

The corners of Chen Yao's mouth were practically blooming with happiness. He never expected that he would actually have such luck.

"Alright, I won't kill you."

Chen Yao kept his Scarlet Training Sword and turned around to leave.

"Go to hell."

Suddenly, the spear-wielding man went berserk. A dagger appeared out of nowhere in his hand and he ruthlessly thrust it at Chen Yao.

"Huh?"

The corner of Chen Yao's mouth revealed a trace of a contemptuous smile. In a flash, he dodged to the side.

How could such a villain not repeat himself? Chen Yao had already predicted that this fellow would use underhand methods.

He had been waiting for this opportunity, this excuse.

"Swish."

Chen Yao turned around and slashed open the throat of the man holding the spear. Fresh blood splattered out. The man's eyes were filled with resentment and fear as he died unwillingly.

He failed to steal the chicken or eat the rice. He did not get the young cub of the King Kong Ape. Instead, he lost his life. However, it was reasonable that he would end up like this after avenging his enmity.

Chen Yao similarly burned the body of the gun-wielding man to ashes.

The five great sects had an agreement with each other after all. Even though these two people were here to deal with him, they were the ones who died. If Wu Zong found out, it would bring him some trouble.

Who knows who did it?

"Storage ring?"

After the gun-wielding man's body was incinerated, a ring that was not burned by the flames fell to the ground. Chen Yao picked it up.

The peak of the Spirit realm should have some status in the Martial Ancestor Realm. It was not surprising for them to have a Spatial Ring.

However, the storage space of this ring was thousands of miles away from the bracelet that Su Yiyi had left for him.

"He actually has 10,000 spirit stones."

Chen Yao examined the spear-wielding man's storage ring for a while and found a small amount of wealth.

After burning the Willow Flower, a storage ring appeared. Chen Yao put it away and checked it as well. There were 50,000 spirit stones inside. This woman was indeed Liu Hai's niece. She held quite a high position in the Liu Family.

60,000 spirit stones. If he refined it all, he would have to reach the peak of the Spirit realm no matter what.

Chen Yao was overjoyed. He originally wanted to obtain some beast cores, but now that he had spirit stones with him, it became much more convenient.

Killing people to steal their goods might be a bit shameless, but it was pretty satisfying.

Chen Yao transferred all sixty thousand spiritual stones into his bracelet, destroying the two storage rings.

Although a storage ring was precious, it was far less important than his life. If he could refine the spirit stones, no one would be able to find out about it, but if someone were to look at the origins of the two storage rings, he would definitely suffer from the revenge of the Martial Ancestor Realm.

Among the six great sects, the Hundred Flowers Palace, Everlasting Demon Sect, and Martial Ancestor Sect had all become his enemies. That scene was simply too terrifying.

Chen Yao did not stay any longer. He quickly left the area without leaving a single trace behind.

According to the time calculation, there were only five or six days left before the time he and Liu Hong agreed to fight. It was enough for him to refine these Spirit Stones and raise his cultivation to the peak of the Spirit realm.

With the foundation of half a step into the Genuine Force before, he did not lack the perception of the realm below the Genuine Force. Refining sixty thousand spirit stones was enough for him to reach the peak of the Spiritual Martial Force.

But the backlash against Red Willow was the same as playing with him.

He had to slap the face of the Liu Family hard.

He wondered, when Liu Hai saw that he wasn't killed by the Boundless Demon Sect, instead, his cultivation base would skyrocket and he would defeat Liu Hong and slap the Liu Family in the face. At that time, what kind of expression would Liu Hai have?

About an hour after Chen Yao left, an old man dressed in grey came to the place where the battle took place.

"Who dares to kill a disciple of my Martial Ancestor Realm?! If I catch him, he will be reduced to ashes!"

He was actually a King Realm expert. He should be an elder of the Martial Ancestor Realm.

The disciples of the Martial Ancestor Realm, in the Martial Ancestor Realm and the Zong Xintang Sect, both had a piece of lifeblood jade. The moment something shattered, it indicated that his life was in danger. He immediately rushed over, but still allowed the murderer to escape.

He actually managed to escape the range of his Spiritual Sense within an hour.

The old man frowned. Could it be that he was dealing with cultivators that were at least at the Martial King realm? That must be the case. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to kill Liu Hua and Wang Tao so easily, and in an hour, he would be able to escape from the range of his Spiritual Sense.

"Could it be the people from the Everlasting Demon Sect?"

The grey-robed old man's face was covered in a layer of gloom.

The Boundless Demon Sect had always been targeting the sword faction. Why would they suddenly attack a disciple of the Martial Sect?

Just as the grey-robed old man was puzzled, he suddenly saw the words left on the tree beside him. He immediately soared into the sky.

"Boundless Demon Sect. My sect will not rest until you're dead. Anyone who sees your sect's disciples must be killed."

The words on the tree were "Everlasting Demon Sect", "Unitary Divine Continent", "Trash of the Martial Ancestor Realm", and "Unqualified to carry shoes".

This was an undisguised slap to the face and a humiliation. How could the old man not be angry?

This Chen Yao was indeed quite a loser. After killing someone and obtaining a spirit stone, not only would he obtain it, he would also have to give some trouble to the Everlasting Demon Sect.

Very quickly, the Mt. Tai's Martial Sect issued the Devil Slayer Order and responded to the Sword Sect. To the disciples of the Everlasting Demon Sect, they must be killed the moment they saw one. The disciples of the sect were also stunned.

Did you, Mt. Tai, become a fool? Did I offend you? However, since you dare to touch the disciples of our Limitless Demon Sect, don't even think about getting away with it.

Thus, before the ancient Demon Sealing Battlefield opened, a bloody storm broke out in the quiet martial world.

However, as the main culprit, Chen Yao had no idea that he was actually in closed-door seclusion on top of a mountain in the Vast Expanse Forest.
