Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

Dark Gold Divine Mountain.

Inside the Hall of Punishment at the summit of the main peak, the light was dim.

Jin Zhan stood with his hands behind his back in front of a huge dark gold Suanni statue.

Behind him stood a burly old man clad in heavy armor.

Jin Lie, the Grand Elder of the Punishment Hall.

Peak of the Primordial Realm.

"Jin Qiong is dead."

Jin Zhan's voice was calm, without the slightest fluctuation in emotion.

"He was killed by that Yuanlong clan hybrid named Long Yu with a single punch."

Jin Lie stood still.

It is like a lifeless iron tower.

His deep eyes remained completely still.

He only obeys orders and doesn't ask why.

"That kid's physical body is unusually strange."

Jin Zhan turned around and his gaze fell on Jin Lie.

"It can transcend dimensions and unleash physical power surpassing that of the early stages of the Primordial Chaos."

"I don't trust sending someone else."

"Go there."

Jin Zhanping slowly raised his hand.

A palm-sized, dark gold compass engraved with intricate array patterns floated in front of Jin Lie.

Lock the Heavenly Plate.

"Take it with you."

"Seal off all escape routes and spaces around him."

Jin Lie stretched out his large, calloused hand.

He put the Heaven-Locking Disc into his bosom.

"Chieftain."

Jin Lie's voice was hoarse, revealing the coldness and composure of someone who had been in charge of punishments for many years.

"What should we do if he puts up a stubborn resistance?"

"Capture them alive."

Jin Zhan's eyes darkened.

"But if things are beyond saving, killing won't hurt."

"What I want is absolute certainty."

Jin Zhan looked at Jin Lie, his tone filled with trust.

The reason for sending Jin Lie was...

Not only because he was at the peak of the Primordial Realm.

Furthermore, Jin Lie possesses an ancestral bloodline that is extremely rare among the Dark Gold Suanni clan.

Dark Gold Blood Calamity.

Once this bloodline skill is activated.

Jin Lie's cultivation will temporarily break through the dimensional barrier of the Hongmeng Realm.

Step into that legendary realm.

Primordial Chaos Realm!

Above the primordial chaos lies the Primordial Chaos.

Once you enter the Primordial Chaos Realm, you become a world unto yourself.

That power has completely transcended the scope of laws.

Using the combat power of a Primordial Chaos Realm cultivator to crush a mixed-blood cultivator at the peak of the Town Realm.

This is absolutely effortless.

When a lion hunts a rabbit, it uses its full strength.

No further accidents are allowed in the war against gold.

"clear."

Jin Lie lowered his head slightly.

No unnecessary words.

He turned around, took steady steps, and walked out of the punishment hall.

His figure flashed.

It transformed into a dark golden streak of light and vanished into the sky in an instant.

……

Edge of the Myriad Spirits Demon Abyss.

Ashes of the Wasteland.

This place is shrouded in dark red demonic energy year-round.

The gale whipped up bone dust from the ground, like a never-ending gray snowstorm.

Su Yu was wearing a gray-black coarse cloth long gown.

Walking gently across the wasteland.

His pace was not fast, but with each step he took, he could shrink the distance to an inch and traverse a distance of dozens of miles.

He had been traveling for three whole days since he left the Demon Sect.

In front.

A colossal, oppressive black city loomed in the demonic aura.

Bloodstained Demon City.

The territory of the Crimson Nightmare.

Su Yu stopped in his tracks.

His deep eyes gazed into the distance at the city that resembled a lurking behemoth.

Before setting off, he had carefully reviewed the intelligence left behind by Mo Yuan.

Chi Yan, a powerful being in the early stage of the Primordial Realm.

This Blood-Burning Demon City is the holy land of demonic cultivators that he built single-handedly.

The city was teeming with hundreds of thousands of outlaws.

The clue to the Primordial Qi of the Great Wilderness is hidden in the main demonic vein beneath the Demon City.

"We can't force our way in."

Su Yu made a calm judgment in his heart.

The Blood Burning Demon City possesses a complete defensive formation, sufficient to withstand a full-force attack from a mid-stage Primordial Realm cultivator.

The city is teeming with experts.

Although he possessed a physical body at the peak of the fourth level of the Zhenyu realm, he was able to kill early-stage Hongmeng cultivators even if he was of a higher level.

However, if one is surrounded by a formation and a large number of people, it will still be somewhat difficult.

Moreover, the location of the Primordial Qi of the Great Wilderness is not clear and will take time to find.

Su Yu's mind raced.

The "All Things Return to Emptiness" technique operates smoothly.

His internal energy and aura began to rapidly recede.

He perfectly disguised his peak cultivation level as that of a rogue cultivator who had just entered the Heavenly Transformation Realm.

The Realm of Evolution.

In a place like the Blood Demon City, it's neither high nor low.

Unlike the lower-level realms of Microcosm and Realm of True Form, it is not subject to being slaughtered.

It won't attract as much attention as a town-level region.

It is the ideal state for lying low and gathering intelligence.

Su Yu straightened his long robe.

I took a step and walked towards the city gate of the Demon City.

The city gate was heavily guarded.

Several demonic cultivators at the Sea Opening Realm were coldly scrutinizing the passersby.

Su Yu paid the entrance fee of ten mid-grade source stones.

They successfully entered the Bloodstained Demon City.

Inside the city.

The architectural style is rugged and oppressive.

The streets were filled with a strong stench of blood and demonic energy.

The shops on both sides sell magical artifacts and materials that are imbued with karma.

Su Yu did not wander around.

He went straight to a tavern called "Listening to the Wind Pavilion".

This is the largest intelligence hub in the outer city of the Demon City.

Su Yu found a seat in a corner of the lobby and sat down.

I ordered the cheapest bottle of wine.

While slowly pouring the wine, he released his spiritual senses to capture the conversations around him.

Two hours passed.

Su Yu's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

The intelligence is not optimistic.

The Lord of Crimson Nightmare City has been in seclusion for three thousand years.

It's like a dragon whose head is seen but whose tail is never seen.

Not to mention the rogue cultivators in the outer city, even many stewards in the inner city haven't seen him in hundreds of years.

As for the underground demonic veins...

It was even designated as a forbidden area of ​​the Blood Demon City.

It is guarded day and night by the city lord's most elite "Blood Seal Guards".

Anyone who is not a Blood Seal Guardian who approaches will be killed without mercy.

"I want to make contact with the Crimson Nightmare, or enter the underground demonic veins..."

Su Yu picked up his wine glass and took a small sip.

A thoughtful look flashed in his dark eyes.

Can we force a kill?

With his current supreme physical body, if he were to reveal his trump card and temporarily raise his cultivation level significantly, it wouldn't be impossible for him to kill a Chi Yan who was at the early stage of the Hongmeng Realm.

but.

Killing someone is easy; finding the stolen item is difficult.

He had no idea about the exact location or how to activate the Primordial Qi of the Great Wilderness.

If we act rashly, and the Crimson Nightmare retaliates in its dying moments and destroys the clues, then we will suffer a greater loss than gain.

"No rush, take your time."

Su Yu calmly suppressed the trace of killing intent in his heart.

Since the primordial energy of the Great Wilderness is right here, it's better to seize it by strategy than by force.

"The best approach right now is to become one of them."

Deep inside the Bloodstained Guard.

Su Yu paid the bill, stood up, and walked calmly out of the tavern.

Under the cover of night, the Blood Demon City was filled with swirling demonic energy, and the streets were filled with the clamor of desperate outlaws.

Su Yu's pace was neither hurried nor slow.

The "Return of All Things to Emptiness" technique was quietly circulating within the body.

He perfectly suppressed his aura to the level of the early stage of the Heavenly Transformation Realm, blending it into the chaotic night.

However, under the cover of the spatial laws of the peak of the Hongmeng Realm, his divine sense spread out silently like an invisible net.

He was looking for prey.

A patrol of Bloodmark Guards entered Su Yu's perception range.

The team leader was a captain at the peak of the Sea Opening Realm.

Su Yu did not show up.

He stood quietly in a dark alley.

In his eyes, a dark, cold fire flickered gently.

The Heavenly Demon Kingdom opens.

A wisp of formless and intangible celestial demonic essence, aided by the spatial divine kingdom, disregarded spatial distance.

It bypassed the captain's spiritual energy shield and burrowed into his brow.
