Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

After the black dragon and the fire phoenix calmed down,

Xia Jin stood with his hands behind his back on the hill, looking directly at the Fire Phoenix and the Black Dragon, and said calmly, "Since you have acknowledged me as your master, I will give you your first task: to kill someone for me."

Upon hearing this, the black dragon suddenly raised its enormous head, and its lantern-like eyes shone with extreme excitement!

It wriggled its newly grown four claws and growled, "Master, just tell me who you want to kill! Let me test my evolved power!"

That's right, it's eager to try.

Not only had it officially entered the Divine Realm, but it had also taken a crucial step towards transforming into a dragon. Even it itself was unsure just how powerful its flesh and blood, now tempered by the power of creation, truly was.

The fire phoenix beside it was equally eager. It spread its wings, and a section of its multicolored feathers shimmered with a faint light. Its clear phoenix cry was also filled with fighting spirit: "Master, I've been wanting to test my strength too! Where is that guy you just mentioned? I'll go with the black dragon and bring back his head!"

Xia Jin's eyes suddenly turned northwest, a slight smile playing on her lips: "The person I ordered you to kill is in the Southern Region!"

Xia Jin had another purpose in leaving Great Xia this time, besides subduing the two demonic beasts, the Fire Phoenix and the Black Dragon, to protect Great Xia on his way to the temple.

That is to eliminate any entities within the Eastern Xuan Continent that might pose a threat to the Great Xia.

And the blood corpse is the biggest threat among them!

Just as he was searching for the Fire Phoenix, he happened to use his divine sense to discover the Blood Corpse's whereabouts.

After he finished speaking, a faint light appeared between his brows. The next moment, two strands of divine thought entered the minds of the fire phoenix and the black dragon.

"Go, I have already given you the location of that person." Xia Jin turned around and stepped directly into the void rift ahead. As the rift closed, his last words came from within: "I will await your good news in the Great Xia Imperial Palace."

After Xia Jin's aura completely disappeared, the Fire Phoenix and the Black Dragon exchanged a glance, a hint of killing intent flashing in their eyes.

"Let's go, old friend. This is the first mission our master has assigned us. Don't let him down!" The dark clouds around the black dragon churned, and its eyes revealed a sharp killing intent.

"Don't worry, with our current strength, dealing with the person our master mentioned is a piece of cake!" Fire Phoenix was naturally full of confidence.

The next moment, it flapped its wings, and a five-colored streak of light streaked across the sky, heading straight for the marked location in its mind.

Seeing this, the black dragon also rode the clouds and followed.

……

In the Southern Region, there is a secluded cave located only a few hundred miles from the Black Dragon's swamp.

The blood corpse sat cross-legged on a pile of bones, exhaling crimson blood vapor.

Suddenly, his eyes snapped open!

"Strange? Why did my eyelids start twitching uncontrollably just now? Could it be that something big has happened in the Eastern Xuan Continent again?" A hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

But he never expected that this time it was aimed at him.

After hesitating for a moment, the blood corpse slowly got up, stepped on the skeletons under its feet, and prepared to go out and take a look.

"What exactly happened?"

He muttered to himself and strode towards the cave entrance.

However, the moment he stepped out of the cave and looked up at the sky, his pupils shrank!

In the distance, two enormous figures were rushing toward them!

A streak of five-colored flames, a surge of dark clouds!

"Huh!? This is coming for me..."

The blood corpse frowned, a hint of surprise flashing in its eyes.

He couldn't recall ever provoking such a being, as he had always been remarkably low-key. Even when he hunted down some powerful individuals to restore his strength, he did so secretly, leaving no trace whatsoever.

However, while he was pondering,

"Found it!"

Dozens of miles away, the black dragon's lantern-like giant eyes had already locked onto the figure of the blood corpse outside the cave.

It opened its mouth wide, and suddenly a ball of pitch-black light shone forth!

next moment,

A massive black ball of lightning, carrying a destructive aura, crashed down towards the location of the blood corpse!

With the black dragon's enormous body, the lightning ball it released was the size of a house, and wherever it passed, a huge crack appeared in the void!

Blood Corpse's face darkened. Without thinking, he instinctively stretched out his right hand and met the incoming lightning ball with a palm strike!

boom! ! !

With a dull thud, the moment the blood corpse's right hand made contact with the lightning ball, his expression changed instantly!

Something is wrong!

The power of this lightning ball far exceeded his expectations!

He originally thought that with his cultivation level, he could easily withstand the attack with one hand.

But the moment that destructive force surged into his arm, he realized how terribly wrong he had been!

The power was so violent that the flesh on his right arm instantly tore apart!

"Not good! This is the power of the Divine Realm!"

The blood corpse gritted its teeth, no longer holding back, and slammed out its left hand, meeting the black lightning ball with both palms with all its might!

Rumble!!!

A terrifying explosion rang out!

The violent black lightning instantly engulfed the blood corpse's form, and countless arcs of electricity scattered and blasted the surrounding rocks to pieces!

Countless plumes of smoke and dust billowed, instantly covering an area of ​​ten miles in radius.

"Hahaha! That's great!"

Dozens of miles away, the black dragon excitedly twisted its body, looking at the rising dust in the distance with a smug look in its eyes.

It turned to the fire phoenix beside it, grinning, "Old buddy, did you see that? How powerful is my bite now? If I were to run into that old ghost who hurt me back then, this bite would obliterate his very soul!"

"Uh..." The Fire Phoenix rolled its eyes at the smug Black Dragon, already too lazy to pay attention to this arrogant fellow.

"No!" Fire Phoenix's gaze was fixed on the smoke-filled area, a hint of seriousness flashing in her phoenix eyes: "Don't be too happy yet. That guy... isn't dead yet."

Following the Fire Phoenix's words, the Black Dragon's eyes narrowed, and it also looked towards the area filled with smoke and dust.

A moment later, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated.

A battered figure slowly emerged from the deep pit.

That's right, it's a blood corpse.

However, he was completely different from how he was before.

His right arm was severed at the elbow, his left arm was only half left, and half of his body was blown to pieces!

"Damn it! I almost died!" The blood corpse gritted his teeth and stared at the two figures in the distance.

As he walked step by step, the mutilated flesh on his body began to writhe violently!

Ten breaths later, his body was completely restored!

"Hmm!? How come there are monsters like this among humans!? Such severe injuries have healed so quickly!?" The black dragon looked at the blood corpse's restored body and its expression became serious.

"No, although this guy's recovery speed is amazing, his aura is weaker than before. His recovery ability must have a limit!" Fire Phoenix, who had been watching the changes in the blood corpse, immediately realized the reason.

At this moment, the blood corpse's face was terrifyingly gloomy.

His eyes were filled with rage and murderous intent!

"Two...beasts..."

"You...you're asking for it!!!"
