The force of the punch was so fierce that it could melt metal and iron.

Su Han neither dodged nor evaded, but casually pointed out with his right index and middle fingers together. There was no light at the fingertips, but there was an extremely sharp and refined intent.

Fists interlocked.

"Crack!" A sickening sound of bone breaking rang out. The young man screamed, staggering backward while clutching his twisted, extinguished right arm, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at Su Han. His opponent had merely flicked a finger, breaking his full-force punch and crippling his arm! The difference in their abilities was like an insurmountable chasm.

"You...you're at the Star Palace Realm?!" the young man exclaimed in disbelief.

Su Han didn't answer. He flashed again, appearing before the young man. To the young man's horror, he took the battle talisman from his arms, then lightly patted his chest. The young man spat out blood, flying backward, crashing into a small tree and breaking it. He struggled to crush the teleportation talisman at his waist, then vanished in a flash of white light. The other two also awoke one after another. Knowing they were no match, they bitterly crushed their jade talismans and retreated.

In the blink of an eye, the three-person team was wiped out. Su Han now had three battle talismans in his hand, bringing his total to four, in addition to the one he already had.

"The power of the Star Palace Realm, combined with the Shadowless Sword Steps and the Hidden Formation, makes dealing with the Star Sea Realm easy indeed." Su Han felt the surging star power within his body and gained a clearer understanding of his own strength. He didn't kill anyone. Although the tournament had casualty targets, he wasn't a bloodthirsty person; he could simply seize the talisman.

He put away the four battle tokens and disappeared back into the shadows of the forest, like the most patient hunter.

In the following period, Su Han roamed the edge and central areas of Hundred Battles Mountain, relying on his powerful divine sense and unpredictable movements to sometimes launch a surprise attack and sometimes crush opponents head-on. He tried to avoid direct confrontations with large groups of more than five people who were clearly well-trained, and instead targeted lone individuals, small teams, or those who were already engaged in battle and both sides were injured.

His number of battle runes steadily increased. Ten, twenty, thirty... At the same time, he also encountered some tough opponents.

The following afternoon, in a rocky valley, Su Han encountered a body cultivator from the "Vajra Sect." This man was only at the peak of the Star Sea Realm, but his physical body was incredibly strong, and his skin gleamed with a bronze luster. He withstood a sword strike from Su Han using thirty percent of his strength, leaving only a white mark.

"Hahaha, tickling me? Kid, hand over the battle talisman, and I'll spare your life!" The burly man from the Vajra Sect laughed wildly, his fan-like hand slapping down with a vicious gust of wind.

Su Han's eyes narrowed slightly, and he no longer held back. The "Starfire Sword" was drawn, and a dazzling sword light shone forth. The sword's momentum seemed slow, yet it carried a resolute intent to sever all shackles—Slaying the Void!
A flash of sword light streaked past.

The burly man's outstretched hand was severed at the wrist, his bronze skin as fragile as paper before the unparalleled sharpness of the sword intent. The maniacal laughter on his face froze instantly, replaced by endless terror and pain. Before he could even scream, Su Han's sword tip was already at his throat.

"Hand it over, or die." Su Han's voice was calm.

The burly man's face turned deathly pale. Trembling, he handed over the five battle talismans he carried, crushed the jade talisman, and vanished. Su Han sheathed his sword, looked at the severed hand on the ground, and frowned slightly. The path of body cultivation indeed has its unique aspects. If it weren't for the "Void Severing" sword intent's remarkable effect on breaking through defenses, dealing with this person would have been quite a task.

By the third day, Su Han had accumulated sixty-eight battle tokens, a number that, barring unforeseen circumstances, should guarantee his advancement. However, he did not relax, because the later the stage, the more skilled the survivors, and the more efficient the plundering became.

Sure enough, at the foot of a solitary peak near the center of the secret realm, Su Han was surrounded by four people. These four people were dressed differently, obviously from different sects, but their auras were powerful, at least at the peak of the Star Sea Realm, and one of them had even reached the early stage of the Star Palace Realm! They had obviously formed a temporary alliance to hunt down lone powerhouses and seize their rich battle tokens.

“Friend, be sensible and hand over your battle tokens to avoid physical harm.” The black-clad youth, a early-stage Star Palace Realm expert, spoke calmly, his eyes sharp as an eagle. He toyed with a pair of black daggers in his hands, his aura chilling. The other three also formed a pincer movement, blocking all of Su Han's escape routes.

Su Han glanced at the four people and slowly drew his "Starfire Sword." The sword reflected the sunlight, shimmering with faint starlight and crimson flames.

"Want it? Come and get it yourself."

"You're courting death!" A burly man at the peak of the Star Sea Realm, with a fiery temper, swung a mountain-splitting axe and brought it down with great force and weight.

Su Han swayed, easily dodging the axe blade, and thrust out with his sword, aiming straight for the strong man's vulnerable ribs. The strong man hurriedly parried with his axe, but Su Han's sword technique suddenly changed, from a thrust to a parry, the tip of the sword drawing a strange arc, bypassing the axe.

"Ah!" the burly man cried out in pain as a deep, bone-revealing gash was slashed across his axe-wielding arm, drawing blood. This was only because Su Han had held back; otherwise, a single sword strike would have severed his arm.

"Attack together!" The black-clad youth's eyes turned cold, and his figure vanished abruptly. In the next instant, a streak of dark light struck Su Han's back with astonishing speed.

The other two also attacked simultaneously, one with a knife and the other with a sword, blocking Su Han's left and right sides.

Despite being surrounded by four opponents, Su Han remained unfazed. He unleashed the full power of the "Shadowless Sword Steps," his figure blurring into numerous afterimages within a small space, while his true form darted through the gaps in the flashing blades like a fish. He wielded the "Starfire Sword," each strike precisely targeting the weakest point in the opponent's attack, or forcing them to retreat and defend.

He fought against four opponents single-handedly and held his own! After breaking through to the Star Palace Realm, his star power was inexhaustible and his divine sense was even stronger. His opponents' seemingly swift movements were full of flaws in his eyes.

"Seven Star Strike!" Su Han shouted, his swordplay suddenly becoming swift and unpredictable, unleashing seven strikes in an instant, attacking the four men. These seven strikes were not feints; each one contained condensed star power and sword intent.

Puff puff!
Apart from the young man in black who barely managed to deflect two swords with his dagger, only to suffer a surge of blood and qi, the other three were all injured by the sword light, some in the shoulder, some in the leg, with blood spurting out and their attacks slowing down.

The black-clad youth's expression finally changed. He had thought that with the four of them working together, taking down Su Han, who was also at the early stage of the Star Palace Realm, would be a piece of cake. He hadn't expected that Su Han's swordsmanship would be so exquisite, his movement so unpredictable, and his combat power far exceeding that of his peers.

"This is a tough one, let's retreat!" The young man in black had the idea of ​​retreating. He made a feint and was about to escape.

"Trying to leave now? Too late." Su Han wasn't about to let him go. His star palace trembled, and the primordial star power surged forth, pouring into the sword. The "Starfire Sword" hummed, and its crimson flames surged, with faint star shadows floating within the flames.

"Burning Star!"

With a single swing, not a massive sword beam, but a fan-shaped expanse of blazing, condensed flame sword energy, instantly engulfing all four. Within the flames lay the explosive power of stars and an aura capable of incinerating all things. (End of Chapter)
