I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

Gu He's old face was a mixture of astonishment, confusion, and a deep sense of defeat.

He originally thought that once he crossed the chasm of the seventh rank, which had blocked countless spiritual masters for most of their lives, he would be worshipped by everyone when he emerged from seclusion.

As a result, his disciple Chu Feng's spiritual power level soared to the sixth rank as if he had taken off on a rocket.

What's even more outrageous is that Lu Changming and Yan Jinghan, these two old fogies who have been stuck at the seventh rank for over a decade, not only both stepped into the eighth rank, but also came to him specifically to show off.

A profound sense of loss welled up within Guhe.

Why were these people able to undergo such a dramatic transformation in just a few months?

Seeing Gu He's utterly devastated state, Lu Changming and Yan Jinghan exchanged a glance, their eyes finally able to contain their glee at teasing their old friend.

The terrifying pressure emanating from the two eighth-tier powerhouses completely subsided.

Lu Changming strode forward, walked a few steps into the air, grabbed Gu He's shoulder, and forcibly brought him back to the ground.

Yan Jinghan brushed the ice crystals off his robe and stepped forward.

"I'm just kidding. The reason we were able to break through the shackles and condense the origin of the laws is all thanks to Shen Tian."

"Shen Tian?"

Guhe's beard trembled violently. He had indeed guessed that Shen Tian had left behind something good, but what could possibly push two mid-stage seventh-rank cultivators to the early stage of eighth-rank?

This leap is not just about accumulating energy, but also about a qualitative change in the understanding of the laws of heaven and earth.

"What did he do to you?"

Guhe's eyes widened.

Yan Jinghan raised an eyebrow.

"Have you ever heard of someone eating god-level resources like food?"

Upon hearing this, Guhe's expression instantly became incredibly interesting.

His words were written all over his face.

Are you kidding me?

Lu Changming's expression turned serious, and he dropped his joking demeanor.

"He gave us the fruit of the law."

"These fruits contain the purest essence of the laws. Eating one will cause your understanding of the laws to skyrocket. Before Shen Tian left, he threw out a bunch of them, telling us to eat as much as we wanted, and he literally fed us to the eighth level."

Gu He was still somewhat skeptical when Lu Changming spoke.

real or fake?

Can such a miraculous substance be eaten as food?

Although he didn't want to believe it, the cultivation levels of the three people in front of him spoke volumes.

Lu Changming helplessly spread his hands and looked at Chu Feng beside him.

Chu Feng coughed lightly twice, and the laughter he had been holding back finally burst out.

He took two steps forward and stood in front of the ancient river.

"Master, not a single word the two lords said is true."

As Chu Feng spoke, he raised his left hand.

The spatial ring on his index finger suddenly lit up with a strong silver-gray halo.

Accompanied by a soft, rustling sound, one, two, ten... dozens of grayish-white fruits, intricately interwoven like the patterns of a brain, poured out from the spatial rift like a burst dam.

It floated silently in mid-air between Chu Feng and Gu He.

A total of fifty formless fruits.

When these fruits gathered together, the fluctuations they emitted caused Guhe's spiritual power to resonate involuntarily.

"This...this is..."

Guhe's eyes widened instantly, his eye sockets almost bursting open.

He could clearly feel the aura emanating from it.

That is a primordial power that is ten times purer than the Soul Mother Crystal!

Just by smelling the emanating energy, the originally stable dark blue flame in his mind trembled violently with excitement.

"This was specially left for you by Guard Shen."

Chu Feng felt a surge of secret pleasure as he looked at his master's discomfiture.

Back when Shen Tian dumped this pile of stuff in front of him, his reaction wasn't much better than Gu He's now. "The Formless Fruit is a divine object specifically designed to strengthen and expand spiritual power. Guard Shen said that you have worked hard for the Heavenly Crafts Bureau, and these will be your reward when you emerge from seclusion."

Guhe's breathing became completely disordered.

He completely disregarded his dignity as a seventh-grade grandmaster, and lunged forward, tightly clutching the dozen or so Formless Fruits closest to him in his arms.

I felt that warmth and fulfillment that reached deep into my soul.

Guhe's eyes instantly reddened.

Following behind Shen Tian, ​​why would they need to desperately fight for opportunities? These opportunities are practically being showered upon them!

"Shen Tian... Guard Shen..."

Guhe held the Formless Fruit in his arms.

"I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Chu Feng:

"I'm going into seclusion!"

"Chu Feng! Immediately prepare a sturdy, quiet room for me! Go now!"

Chu Feng's expression froze on his face:

"Master, you've only been out of the underground for less than three hours... and you're already going into seclusion again?"

"Enough nonsense! With such a divine object, what fool would still be wandering around outside!"

Gu He's seventh-grade spiritual power fluctuated violently, and his eyes widened in shock.

He had long since forgotten the air of a sage master he had when he first emerged from seclusion.

Yan Jinghan looked at Gu He's appearance, then tilted his head back and burst into laughter.

Lu Changming also shook his head repeatedly:

"Go, Master Gu, once you've eaten all these fruits, you'll be able to break through to the eighth rank."

"Of course!"

With a stomp of his foot, Guhe transformed into a streak of green light and rushed directly toward the core area of ​​Furnace City.

It is a hundred miles away from the Tianyun Prefecture defense line.

The Blood Demon army has already assembled.

The ground trembled, and blood-red vapors filled the sky.

At the horizon, amidst the swirling crimson dust, the crimson steel tsunami finally revealed its full form.

Fifty thousand blood-machine symbiotes, each five meters tall, formed an endless square formation and advanced forward.

Directly above the steel tsunami, the clouds were brutally torn apart, and a massive suspended platform with a diameter of over 500 meters loomed over the scene like a dark cloud.

Prince Xue Li stood proudly at the very front of the platform.

Dark red blood energy formed a visible energy tornado beside him.

Beside him stood a colossal creature, ten meters tall, its entire body covered in barbed armor.

This is Kashu, the eighth-tier Blood Demon Commander.

With each breath Kashu took, his heavy nasal breathing created a white explosion in mid-air.

Behind the platform, the space ripples like water.

The Ancient Nightmare floated in mid-air in the form of a dark blue spiritual entity.

Beside him stood Monsa, who was eight meters tall.

As a peak eighth-tier general of the Purple Spirit Clan, Monsa exuded an extremely strong sense of oppression simply by standing there casually.

Prince Xue Li looked down at the human defense line winding across the wilderness below, his eyes gleaming with fanaticism.

Kashu took half a step forward, the heavy bone spikes slamming against the metal deck:

"Your Majesty, the vanguard is about to enter the territory of Tianyun Prefecture. Please give the order, and I will personally climb that city wall and rip their commanders' spines out one by one with my bare hands!"

Monsa sneered:

"Don't overestimate the flesh and blood of your cannon fodder. Without Lord Ancient Nightmare's technological modifications, these useless trash under your command are nothing."

"How dare you insult the bloodline of the Holy Race?"

Kashu suddenly turned his head, and his eighth-order berserk aura erupted, his ten-meter-tall body resembling a volcano about to erupt.

Monsa didn't even change his posture; a glint flashed in his eyes, clearly indicating that he didn't take the other party's threat seriously.

"That's enough!"

The ethereal spiritual fluctuations of the Ancient Nightmare exploded directly in the minds of the group.

"We're not here for internal strife. Shen Tian's growth rate is too fast; we must uproot the entire Tianyun Prefecture before he becomes uncontrollable."
