The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

The Yellow-Robed Supreme snorted coldly, and his spiritual power surged, instantly conjuring a withered yellow Supreme Dharma Body.

The Dharma body was covered with withered patterns, and was a hundred feet in size. It exuded an aura of decay and decay, making it look quite eerie.

"To die beneath my divine body, you will have lived a worthwhile life!"

The Yellow-Robed Supreme grinned maliciously, and his Dharma Body raised its withered giant hand, slamming it down towards Ye Feng.

With a single palm strike, the surrounding atmosphere changed, carrying a stench reminiscent of rotten bamboo. Wherever it passed, the space subtly showed signs of decay.

Ye Feng's expression was solemn, and his spiritual power surged wildly within him.

The yellow-robed supreme being before him, though not as powerful as the Cangxie supreme being, was in his prime and unleashed his supreme avatar, clearly not intending to give him any chance.

Without using a divine artifact like the Blazing Fire Sword, to quickly resolve the situation, it would be necessary to employ some trump cards.

He hasn't yet cultivated the Supreme Dharma Body, so he has no advantage in battle, even against a First-Rank Supreme of the same realm. He can't afford to be careless.

"Since that's the case, then I'll sever your supreme Dharma body!"

A sharp glint flashed in Ye Feng's dark eyes. As his spiritual power surged like a tide, his aura fluctuated violently, and a sharp sword intent capable of destroying the heavens and the earth soared straight into the sky.

Annihilation Slash!

In the next instant, a faint light suddenly shone from the Pillow Snow Sword in Ye Feng's hand, and he slashed out with the sword!

This sword strike contained no fancy sword techniques; it was simply a pure and utterly destructive sword intent.

"Hmm...no good..."

Sensing the destructive intent emanating from Ye Feng's sword, the Yellow-Robed Supreme's expression changed drastically.

laugh!

In that brief instant, the earth-shattering sword light collided violently with the withered giant hand.

With a crisp tearing sound, the seemingly powerful withered yellow giant hand was torn apart like paper in front of Ye Feng's sword, turning into countless points of spiritual energy and dissipating.

"What?!"

Seeing his all-out attack easily neutralized, the Yellow-Robed Supreme's eyes narrowed sharply, his face filled with disbelief and horror.

Before the Yellow-Robed Supreme could think further, the profound sword light that annihilated all things in heaven and earth fell one after another, directly striking his withered yellow body.

Click!Click!

Between heaven and earth, the sound of shattering surged like a raging tide, layer upon layer, and cracks began to spread across the hundred-zhang-tall supreme body of the Yellow-Robed Supreme.

"Damn it..."

The moment the Yellow-Robed Supreme's terrified cry rang out, his proud Supreme Dharma Body shattered and vanished into countless specks of light.

puff!

With his Dharma body shattered, the Yellow-Robed Supreme within it immediately coughed up blood, his aura instantly weakened, and his body flew out like a kite with a broken string, embedding itself heavily in the earth's hand.

"This is a divine technique at the Great Perfection level..."

The Yellow-Robed Supreme's face was deathly pale. He struggled to raise his head, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Ye Feng.

A first-rank supreme being who can shatter his supreme avatar with a single sword strike must have used a technique that is far from ordinary.

The young supreme being who could control such a divine art was no ordinary person. This time, he had truly misjudged him.

"You have a good eye!"

Ye Feng spoke calmly, looking at the Yellow-Robed Supreme with an indifferent gaze.

With that last sword strike, he used the first move of the Absolute Annihilation Sword, which he had comprehended from the sword fall space.

He had learned this sword technique since the Sword Continent; it was a truly world-destroying sword technique with astonishing power.

His previous understanding of the Sword Continent was inaccurate; spiritual power was far more powerful than sword energy.

Therefore, even the first move is far more powerful than a great divine technique. With his current strength as a first-grade supreme being, it is enough to pose a fatal threat to a second-grade supreme being.

However, if the Blazing Sword is used, even a third-grade supreme expert would find it extremely difficult to withstand it.

Unfortunately, this method consumes a lot of spiritual energy, and with his current strength as a first-grade supreme being, he can hardly use it more than a few times, so it can only be used as a last resort.

However, given the current situation, he has no time to hesitate.

The most dangerous thing about the Spirit Treasury is not the traps and mechanisms within the treasury itself, but the people who come here.

Human nature is unpredictable; he cannot place his hopes on the justice and pity of others.

"Time to hit the road..."

Without uttering any further words, Ye Feng sent the still-powerful dark sword light from the sky crashing down with a thought.

"No…"

The emperor in yellow robes had despair in his eyes and his face was filled with resentment.

boom!

The next moment, the dark sword light carrying the intent of destruction suddenly fell. In the blink of an eye, the body of the Yellow-Robed Supreme and the divine soul within the Supreme Sea shattered instantly, turning into a sky full of blood mist before slowly dissipating.

Ye Feng remained calm, raised his hand, and a mustard seed bracelet flew out from the blood mist and landed in his palm.

"There are more and more people here..."

Ye Feng scanned his surroundings, his senses spreading out. Ignoring the auras that were secretly watching, he vanished into the vast forest in a flash.

"A first-rank supreme being can shatter the supreme dharma body of a second-rank supreme being with a single sword strike."

"This young man is quite remarkable..."

Not long after Ye Feng left, several figures with considerable auras arrived in the sky above the now ruined mountain forest.

"The higher the grade of a divine technique, the more difficult it is to cultivate. This person is so young, yet he has not only broken through to the Supreme Realm but also mastered such a divine technique. His talent is truly extraordinary..."

"I wonder which faction nurtured this outstanding talent..."

"..."

Not long after Ye Feng left the Spirit Treasury, an earth-shattering battle broke out in the core of the Spirit Treasury.

boom!

With a deafening explosion, an invisible, terrifying ripple of spiritual energy spread out, and the massive island began to collapse, turning into countless fragments that sank into the Canglin Sea.

In an instant, many of those below the Supreme Realm who were stranded here were injured by the aftershocks of this spiritual energy, and their fates were unknown.

Those supreme beings who tried to take advantage of the situation were also injured by the aftershocks of this spiritual energy. Those who were close by were unable to escape even with their souls intact.

The battles between fifth-grade supreme experts are terrifying, often tearing apart space and causing the heavens and earth to collapse.

Three figures burst out from the center of the explosion, each standing in the void, facing each other.

"You despicable old devil, Yuanfeng!"

The Blood Slaughter Supreme's roar echoed from the sky, filled with boundless rage.

"Hehe, Brother Blood Butcher, why be angry? The Supreme Origin Pill will be given to the most capable person. This core item of the Spirit Treasury will belong to this old man."

The gray-robed old man smiled faintly, and with a flash, disappeared into the void.

Blood Slaughter Supreme and White Fan Supreme had ashen faces, but they did not pursue, clearly indicating that the gray-robed old man's strength far surpassed that of the two of them.

"The Supreme Origin Pill—this thing is incredibly valuable. Spread the word, and that old ghost will be in for a world of hurt!"

"Um…"

……

One hour later.

In the central region of the coastal continent, in a remote mountain area rarely visited by humans.

"Finally, I can get some rest..."

Ye Feng looked around, his spiritual energy spreading outwards. Seeing that no one was following, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving the Supreme Spiritual Treasury, he did not linger near Canglin Sea. Fortunately, he had good luck along the way and did not encounter any further accidents.

Now, we can finally take a short break.

"This will do..."

Ye Feng looked around and soon found a hidden cave.

With a wave of his hand, Ye Feng tidied up the cave, then sat down on the ground, took out a small amount of Supreme Spirit Liquid, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Chi Chi!

In an instant, the cave was filled with spiritual mist, and vibrant spiritual energy surged forth from Ye Feng's body.

Then Ye Feng slowly closed his eyes, formed cultivation hand seals, absorbed and refined the Supreme Spiritual Liquid within his body, and restored his spiritual power.

Time passed slowly.

Half an hour later, Ye Feng finally opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with two beams of light.

"It's this abundant energy that brings me peace of mind..."

Ye Feng exhaled a breath of stale air, a smile appearing on his handsome, refined face.

The world is vast and dangerous at every turn; if you are not in good condition, it will be a terrible thing.

The spiritual energy he lost in his spiritual treasure this time has been replenished through this cultivation, and it's not just a matter of his physical condition recovering.

He could sense that the spiritual energy in the Supreme Sea was very active and much stronger than before, which was an improvement in strength.

However, there is still a considerable distance to go before reaching the Second Grade Supreme level.

"Let's see what the Yellow-Robed Supreme's collection is like..."

Without much self-satisfaction, Ye Feng fixed his gaze and waved his hand.

A mustard seed bracelet, dark in color and faintly exuding a bloody aura, appeared before Ye Feng.

"With the wealth of a second-rank supreme being, I hope to receive more favors."

Ye Feng's gaze fell on the dark mustard seed bracelet in front of him, and his spiritual power slowly probed into it.

A moment later, a faint smile appeared on Ye Feng's lips.

The collection of this Yellow-Robed Supreme is not much inferior to that of the Cangxie Supreme.

There were a full thousand drops of the Supreme Spirit Liquid alone.

In addition, there were some elixirs, rare and precious materials, and a scroll of divine arts of considerable quality.

"Falling Yellow Divine Palm, Minor Divine Technique..."

Ye Feng unrolled the scroll, his gaze sweeping over the words recorded on it, and nodded slightly.

If this minor divine technique were auctioned off, it could fetch at least a thousand drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid.

"This harvest from the Spirit Treasury is truly substantial; it's more than enough to cultivate to the second-grade Supreme level with Supreme Spirit Liquid."

"It's a pity we don't have a elixir like the Supreme Heaven Pill to enhance our strength, otherwise we could have broken through to the Second Grade Supreme in a short time..."

Ye Feng put the mustard seed bracelet away with satisfaction. While redistributing the space of the mustard seed bracelet to reflect the spiritual treasures he had obtained on this trip, he secretly lamented the loss.

To travel to the Western Desert Continent and obtain the Essence of the Blazing Fire requires strength. For someone as powerful as a First-Rank Supreme to rush there would be courting death.

Even with ample Supreme Spirit Liquid, he still needs time to cultivate in order to break through to the Second Grade Supreme level.

"Let's head to Guanling City first, then use the teleportation array to get to the Tai Xuan Continent..."

Ye Feng slowly stood up, and immediately made a decision in his heart.

He gained a lot from this trip to the Spirit Treasure. Next, he will find a secluded place to exchange the things he doesn't need for Supreme Spirit Liquid, and then focus on his cultivation, striving to break through to the second-grade Supreme level as soon as possible.

And the Tai Xuan Continent is a good place.

This continent has many powerful forces, but the strongest is none other than the Tai Xuan Spirit Academy. Overall, it is much more stable than other continents.

In addition, he also wanted to glean some information from these people in the Spirit Academy, to clarify as much as possible the timeline of the Great Thousand Worlds.

I rescued Chu Yue in the Spirit Treasury, but we didn't have time to talk much. I'll ask her about it when we get to the Tai Xuan Continent.

...

Tai Xuan City is the largest city on the Tai Xuan Continent and the location of the Tai Xuan Spiritual Academy.

The city covers a vast area, with walls reaching a height of hundreds of feet, constructed entirely of lapis lazuli, gleaming faintly in the sunlight.

Ye Feng stepped into the city, his gaze sweeping over the wide streets and the flow of people, his eyes gleaming.

"The atmosphere here is definitely different from that of a powerful institution like the Spirit Academy."

Without much thought, Ye Feng strolled along the street and soon arrived in front of a magnificent pavilion.

The pavilion is about seven stories high and is made entirely of white jade, which shines brightly in the sunlight.

Above the doorway hangs a plaque with the three large characters "Shengbaoge" written on it, the calligraphy vigorous and powerful, faintly revealing fluctuations of spiritual energy.

"Shengbao Pavilion..."

Ye Feng's eyes flickered slightly, and then he stepped into the pavilion.

The interior of the pavilion was extremely spacious, with rows of jade cabinets neatly arranged, displaying various treasures that shimmered with spiritual light and attracted attention.

Although there were many people coming and going, everything was in good order, which showed that Shengbaoge had very strict rules.

"Replace any unused items with Supreme Elixir..."

This time, he came to the Tai Xuan Continent to sell some of the items on his Mustard Seed Bracelet. Compared to returning to the Golden Palace Merchant Guild on the Falling Sword Continent, visiting the Sheng Bao Pavilion in Tai Xuan City was just a convenient stop along the way.

This force is also a top-tier merchant guild in the Tai Xuan Continent, and can fully satisfy his exchange needs.

"Sir, what would you like to do?"

As soon as Ye Feng stepped into the pavilion, a pretty maid in white came up to greet him and respectfully inquired about his whereabouts.

"I have some items I wish to sell; I wonder if your esteemed establishment would accept them?"

Ye Feng spoke calmly.

The maid in white was slightly taken aback, then her smile widened.

"Please follow me, sir. There are expert appraisers on the third floor who will surely give you a fair price."

Ye Feng nodded slightly and followed the maid in white upstairs.

The third floor is more elegant than the first floor, furnished like a study. The bookshelves are filled with ancient books and scrolls, and an elderly man with white hair and beard is sitting behind the desk, flipping through an ancient book.

"Old man, this young master has a treasure he wishes to sell."

The maid in white said respectfully.

The old man raised his head, his cloudy old eyes falling on Ye Feng, his gaze sharpening slightly before he stood up.

"This old man is Gu Yun. Greetings, young friend. Please have a seat."

Ye Feng nodded slightly and sat down at the desk.

"What does this young friend wish to sell?"

Gu Yun asked with a smile.

Ye Feng didn't say much. He raised his hand and waved it, and several mustard seed bracelets appeared on the table.

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Yun's eyes. He reached out and took a mustard seed bracelet, probing it with his spiritual energy.

A moment later, Gu Yun's expression changed slightly, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Young friend, there's quite a lot among these mustard seed bracelets..."

Gu Yun gave Ye Feng a meaningful look.

These things were clearly the result of murder and robbery, but in this vast world, such things are commonplace, and Shengbao Pavilion wouldn't ask any further questions.

"Just give me a price, Old Gu."

Ye Feng remained calm and unmoved.

Gu Yun nodded and began to examine it carefully.

About an incense stick later, Gu Yun raised his head, his expression solemn.

"Young friend, these treasures include spiritual artifacts, rare and precious materials, divine techniques, and methods for cultivating the Supreme Dharma Body. I have estimated that their total value is approximately four thousand drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid."
