[That's the theory. But the host should know that the 'inner world' of a World Realm cultivator is not only the source of power, but also the last barrier of the soul.]

A being whose inner world is at the 'prototype of a middle world' possesses a world barrier far stronger than that of dozens of prototype small worlds.

[Furthermore, cultivators at the World Realm often possess life-saving secret techniques and supreme treasures for soul defense, making actual combat highly unpredictable. This system's calculations are based on an ideal model.]

"I understand." Su Jie nodded, casting his Holy Soul Power towards the hazy sky beyond the rift valley. "However, it seems there are many 'little rats' lurking outside, the three strongest of them..."

"Oh? Three True Realm Lords? One-star, two-star, and three-star, quite a well-organized lineup."

In the face of Su Jie's peak tenth-order Saint Soul, the soul defense of this level of World Realm cultivator was as thin as paper.

Su Jie could clearly sense that although the three people had concealed their figures and auras, their positions subtly formed an encirclement, and their holy soul fluctuations carried obvious vigilance and...greed.

"Looks like the commotion from my breakthrough just now didn't attract just onlookers. Let's go have some fun with them, I'm itching to get my hands dirty after just breaking through!" He muttered to himself, a knowing glint in his eyes.

In the lawless wilderness of Chaos, killing and robbing treasures among cultivators is as commonplace as eating a meal.

Given the astonishing celestial phenomenon he had just triggered, it was perfectly normal for people to mistakenly believe that a supreme treasure had been born.

With a slight thought, Su Jie completely concealed his aura, took a step forward, and his figure appeared like a ghost at the edge of the wasteland, facing the direction where the three World Realm experts were hiding.

He did not act immediately, but instead stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly:

"You three have been watching for so long, aren't you going to come out and greet us?"

As soon as the words fell, the chaotic air currents twisted slightly, and three figures slowly emerged from the void.

Leading the group was the Three-Star True Realm Lord, dressed in dark blue armor, with a stern face and sharp eyes like a hawk.

The two people behind him, a man and a woman, were slightly weaker, but their eyes also revealed scrutiny and vigilance.

"Fellow Daoist's breakthrough is truly astonishing." The middle-aged man spoke in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping over Su Jie, trying to probe his depth.

He only felt that the other party's aura was as deep as an abyss, completely unfathomable. "I am Xuan Tu, and these two are my companions. May I ask how you are addressed, fellow traveler?"

"Su Jie." Su Jie announced his real name, his gaze calmly meeting the three men's. "What brings you three here?"

Xuan Tu remained expressionless, clasped his hands and said, "To be honest, the strange phenomenon that you caused when you broke through just now could be seen for tens of thousands of miles around."

In the chaotic frontier, such extraordinary phenomena often signify the emergence of a fortuitous opportunity. The three of us have come to investigate; please forgive us if we have offended you.

That's a polite way of putting it, but how sharp is Su Jie's Holy Soul perception?

He could clearly detect a fleeting glimpse of greed and killing intent in the holy soul fluctuations of the man and woman behind Xuan Tu when he spoke.

More importantly, the power of the three small worlds within Xuan Tu's body was quietly operating, subtly locking down the space around him.

"I see." Su Jie nodded, his tone still calm. "The three of you have seen it now. The strange phenomenon was caused by my breakthrough, and there are no special opportunities or treasures involved. If there's nothing else, please make yourselves at home."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and made as if to leave.

"Fellow Daoist, wait a moment!"

Xuan Tu suddenly spoke, his voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of urgency.

Su Jie paused, turned to look at him, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Xuan Tu forced a smile: "Fellow Daoist has just broken through, and your aura is still unstable. This Chaotic Borderlands is fraught with danger, so why don't you travel with us?"

The three of us are quite familiar with this area and can offer you some guidance.

The man behind him chimed in, "Exactly. Your breakthrough was so tumultuous that it has likely attracted many admirers. Being alone is undoubtedly dangerous."

The woman added softly, "Fellow Daoist has just broken through, so you must have expended a lot of energy. We can protect you for a while, and we can part ways once you have recovered to your peak condition."

The words were spoken in a grand and dignified manner, but in Su Jie's perception of his Holy Soul, the fluctuations of the three people's Holy Souls were becoming increasingly tense—it was the excitement and tension of prey about to fall into a trap.

"Traveling together?" Su Jie suddenly laughed, a hint of amusement in his smile. "You three think I'm weak and vulnerable because I just broke through, and you want to 'escort' me to a secluded place before trying to steal my 'opportunity,' right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of Xuan Tu and the other two changed simultaneously!

"What makes you say that, fellow Daoist?!" Xuan Tu shouted in a deep voice, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes—how could the other party see through him so clearly?

"Why pretend?" Su Jie shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the three of them. "Your soul fluctuations have already betrayed your thoughts completely."

From the very first moment you saw me, you were assessing my strength and calculating the safest way to attack—weren't you?"

He paused, his tone remaining calm: "I'm just curious, what makes you think that someone capable of triggering such a celestial phenomenon to break through would be an easy target for you to manipulate?"

Xuan Tu's expression darkened completely, knowing that pretense was pointless. He took a deep breath, and his aura began to rise steadily, the power of the three small worlds within his body erupting with a deafening roar:

"Since you've seen through me, then speak plainly—hand over the secret treasure or inheritance you used during your breakthrough, and we might spare your life. Otherwise…"

The man and woman behind him stepped forward simultaneously, unleashing the auras of the one-star and two-star True Realm Lords without reservation, forming an encirclement with the power of Xuan Tu, firmly locking Su Jie in place.

The chaotic air currents on the wasteland began to surge violently, and space groaned under the strain.

Despite the oppressive aura of the three True Realm Lords, Su Jie didn't even flinch.

"Or what?" He even chuckled. "Kill me?"

"You think you can contend with three True Realm Lords just because you've just broken through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm?" Xuan Tu sneered. "No matter how astonishing the phenomenon was just now, you're still only at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm!"

"Is that so?" Su Jie sighed softly. "Then... let's give it a try."

The moment he finished speaking, a flash of purple light appeared in his eyes!

A peak tenth-tier Saint Soul erupted with a deafening roar, engulfing all three simultaneously!

"What?!" Xuan Tu's expression changed drastically. He felt a terrifying pressure that seemed to come from a higher dimension, crushing down as if the entire sky were collapsing!

That was not the mid-level Saint Soul strength that a cultivator who had just broken through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm should have! This strength... this strength even surpassed all the Primordial Realm Lords he had ever seen!

"Not good! We've kicked a hornet's nest! Retreat!" Xuan Tu roared hoarsely, frantically urging the power of his three small worlds to construct layers of world barriers outside his consciousness!

The man and woman behind him reacted a little slower, but they each used their own methods, summoning soul defense artifacts and burning their essence blood to strengthen their soul defense—

However, it was too late.
