Not far away, Lao Liu felt the aura of Wusheng Chen surging in from the soles of his feet, and his expression softened.

The influx of Wusheng Chen, which had devoured the flesh and blood of the seventh brother, greatly benefited his cultivation.

Although it didn't allow him to break through to the Enlightenment Realm immediately, it did raise his cultivation level to the late stage of Marrow Cleansing.

If I cultivate for a few more years, I might be able to glimpse the realm of enlightenment.

"No, perhaps if I obtain the Lifeless Dust that parasitizes my eldest and second brothers' bodies, I can directly break through and open my mind." The sixth brother thought to himself with a ruthless expression.

Most people, once they have a shortcut, will inevitably want to try it.

With a change of heart, Lao Liu activated all his qi and blood to block the deadly poison on the fine needle, forcing most of the poison to his chest.

He picked up a dagger from the side and stabbed it into his heart.

Black and red blood flowed down, and with a slash of the dagger, a whole piece of flesh fell to the ground.

Even a cultist like Lao Liu, who had always lived a life of danger, was in so much pain that he grimaced in pain.

The flesh and blood that fell to the ground, deprived of the nourishment of their bodies, instantly rose up in wisps of blue smoke, and then rotted into minced meat, emitting a foul odor.

At the same time, countless wisps of lifeless dust swarmed into and filled the wound of the sixth brother.

Visible to the naked eye, tender pink buds emerged from the cross-section of the flesh, intertwining and combining under the guidance of the dust-free environment.

In just a few breaths, he had recovered most of his health.

The sixth man's complexion immediately turned rosy. Although the toxins in his body had not been completely eliminated, they would no longer endanger his life in the short term.

With the help of the blood and energy within Lao Qi's body, once I absorb all the life-giving energy here, I will surely break through and open my mind.

At that time, my eldest and second eldest brothers might come to me for help.

He was lost in thought, his gaze sweeping across the room.

Before that, there was a little ant that spoiled his fun and he was going to have to prepare something nice.

"Hmm?" The sixth brother glanced at the empty ground, a sense of unease flashing through his mind.

Then, he glanced at Zhou Chen, his pupils shrinking.

"you?"

"Where did you hide the abiotic source?!"

At this moment, Zhou Chen was digesting most of the massive information flow brought about by the enhancement of the Crimson Flame Scripture in his mind. Hearing Lao Liu's words, he revealed a smile.

"you guess!"

Zhou Chen stepped forward, his Moonflower Staff moving like a silver dragon emerging from its cave, exceptionally agile.

The sixth brother looked at the source bag on the ground and assumed that the "source of nothingness" that had rolled out earlier had been put back into the source bag.

The "source of nothingness" requires sacrifice to the Eternal Mother and transformation by divine power before it can be absorbed by humans. This is a truth that every follower of the Eternal Mother sect holds dear.

The Wusheng Sect has been established for nearly a century, and no one can surpass its achievements.

Seeing Zhou Chen counterattack instead of dodge, Lao Liu grinned maliciously, his right arm muscles bulging, and he punched straight at Zhou Chen's heart!

Having been poisoned, it was best not to use my full strength to fight this ant at the Yi Jin Realm.

Now that most of the toxins have been cleared, we must act quickly and decisively.

"Bang!!"

Fists and sticks clashed, and the metal clanged.

Zhou Chen felt an unparalleled, fierce force slam into the end of the staff. Even though the opponent's fist was scorched by the crimson flames, sending up plumes of smoke, the Moonflower Staff was still bent by the impact.

Zhou Chen's pupils contracted sharply. He loosened his grip on his feet, and the Moonflower Staff, which had been bent by a punch, lost its support at the end and swung backward.

Zhou Chen dismounted and retreated rapidly using the elastic force.

Even if the person in front of him is affected by the residual poison in his body and only has 70-80% of his strength left, it is still like throwing an egg against a rock if he tries to fight against the marrow cleansing with the refining of filth.

Now that we've gained enough benefits, it's time to retire gracefully.

"A filthy fellow?" Old Six scoffed, flexing his scalded right fist. "A genius who broke through in the heat of battle, too bad he ran into me!"

He pounced again, his fists flying like mountains, each punch carrying immense force.

Zhou Chen pushed his spiritual tracking ability to its limit, focusing all his attention on Lao Liu.

Amidst a sky full of fist imprints, Zhou Chen moved like a falling leaf, leaping and tumbling.

Every now and then, the long staff clashed with the iron fist, sparks flying everywhere.

Outside the secret stone gate where the two were, the sounds of fighting between the two chief priests of the Wusheng Sect and the three enlightened elders from the city's noble families had grown increasingly faint.

But the sounds of fighting between the city guards and the martial arts school disciples grew ever closer.

If it drags on too long, unless one is an enlightened martial artist who can briefly soar through the air by unleashing their inner energy, they will all die in the heavily fortified military formation.

The sixth brother, unable to break through after a long siege, grew increasingly anxious as he listened to the increasingly clear shouts of battle.

He never imagined that a martial artist skilled in filth could be as slippery as an eel, and even withstand several of his punches without being affected.

Thinking of this, his eyes hardened, and he grinned maliciously at Zhou Chen, who had been cornered by him.

The staff gleamed like a silver dragon, yet the sixth brother remained unfazed.

His skin was jet black, indicating that he had mastered the Iron Body Technique.

"Bang!"

Despite having Iron Body Technique as a defense, Lao Liu's left arm was still broken by the full force of the Refining Realm expert's attack.

Despite the excruciating pain of his fractured left arm, Lao Liu was not angry but rather delighted.

At this moment, at the cost of sacrificing an arm, he finally rushed in front of Zhou Chen.

"boom!"

The sixth brother's fists were like hammers, pressing down on the surrounding air with a muffled, explosive sound.

"Snap!"

Zhou Chen felt his ribs break inch by inch, and he flew out like a broken sack, crashing heavily to the ground, coughing up blood incessantly.

If he hadn't already broken through to the Refining Realm and his internal organs hadn't undergone initial tempering, this punch would have completely shattered them.

"Huff, huff!" Zhou Chen gasped for breath, struggling to calm the chaotic flow of qi and blood within his body.

The sixth man looked down at the young man struggling in his death throes and stepped closer.

He grinned, and the dust of life continuously adhered to his left arm, repairing the wound.

"Not bad for holding out for so long!" He bent down and picked up the source bag that the sect used to store "no-life source" and walked towards the jade box at Zhou Chen's feet.

The next moment, his face showed surprise, and he even drew back the blood and qi that were suppressing the remaining poison in his body, rushing towards Zhou Chen with all his might.

Before his eyes, the boy who could only lie on the ground waiting to die suddenly turned over and bent down to reach into the jade box containing the source of life.

[Obtained Three Treasures Relics (Beginner - Fragment *1)]

……

[Obtained Breakthrough Relic (Intermediate, Fragment *1)]

Inside the jade box, the remaining dozen or so relics were rapidly disappearing.

The jade box, which had been gleaming with black and white light, became increasingly dim.

At the same time, as Zhou Chen rapidly absorbed the relics, the energy that sustained the surrounding coffins was instantly cut off.

The eyelids of the cannibalistic monsters rolled back, as if they were about to awaken.

"Intermediate-level relic?" But all of this was irrelevant to Zhou Chen.

All he wanted was to survive!
