If I let you practice martial arts, you'll compress your vital energy ten thousand times?

Edge of the core area.

A fourth-tier beast, the "Earth-Splitting Demon Tiger," whose body was as large as a small mountain, lay lifeless in a pool of blood. Its iron-hard skull was clearly deeply indented, as if it had been struck head-on by a divine hammer.

And beside the demon tiger's corpse.

A roaring campfire was crackling loudly.

Lin Yuan, wearing that pale white plastic mask, sat cross-legged in front of the fire with his 1.9-meter-tall, burly body.

In his hand, he was holding a sizzling, oily hind leg of a demon tiger, tearing and swallowing it in large bites.

As the high-purity fourth-order flesh and blood entered his stomach.

The dark blue system panel in my mind was flashing wildly at a dizzying speed.

[Devouring the essence and flesh of a fourth-tier alien beast...]

[Impurities removed...forced physical compression in progress...]

[Current compression count: 107,000!]

[Current compression count: 108,500!]

"Phew...that feels good."

Lin Yuan exhaled a breath of white air carrying intense heat, his eyes behind the mask filled with contentment.

Compared to those low-level trash, the energy contained in fourth-tier beasts is a huge tonic. As long as we devour those beast kings deep in the forest, unlocking the second-tier battle body after 200,000 uses will be just around the corner.

call--!

Just as Lin Yuan was about to tear off the second piece of roasted meat.

A thick, unusually cold, black fog, reeking of blood, suddenly rolled in from above.

The dozen or so towering trees around them withered and died instantly under the influence of the black mist, turning into a pile of black ash.

An aged figure shrouded in a black robe descended slowly onto a thick tree trunk, like a ghost.

Dark Spirit Society, Grandmaster-level Elder!

The black-robed elder looked down at Lin Yuan, whose cold eyes, hidden beneath his hood, were fixed on him by the campfire.

"strangeness……"

The black-robed elder frowned slightly, a deep sense of doubt flashing in his eyes.

He followed the soaring aura of blood all the way here, thinking he would encounter the legendary, ruthless "Grandmaster".

But the burly man in front of us, wearing a pale white mask, showed absolutely no signs of true energy fluctuations!

Not only did it lack true qi, it didn't even have the most basic internal energy a martial artist possesses.

This is clearly an ordinary person who hasn't even stepped into the Qi and Blood Realm!

"Could it be that some ordinary student who accidentally wandered into the deeper areas happened to find the corpse of this demonic tiger?"

The black-robed elder secretly pondered to himself, then a cruel sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.

Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!

The events happening in this deep zone are all strange. Since we've already encountered it, let's just extract its soul and refine its spirit. Maybe we can find some clues about the "Grandmaster" in this guy's memories.

"Hehehe..."

The black-robed elder let out a piercing, eerie laugh, like that of a night owl.

The terrifying pressure of the Grandmaster realm was like an invisible mountain, pressing down fiercely on Lin Yuan below.

"Young man, you're unlucky to have met me."

"Give me your soul, be good..."

however.

The black-robed elder hadn't even finished speaking.

The burly figure beside the campfire below, who was holding a piece of roasted meat, suddenly vanished into thin air without warning!

There was no sound of wind breaking.

There was no booming sound of true energy erupting.

Not even a single fallen leaf on the ground was swept up!

It was as if some incomprehensible force had forcibly erased this space.

"What?!"

The black-robed elder's sinister smile froze instantly, and his pupils contracted to the size of pinpoints.

What about people? !

In that very instant when his mind was gripped by extreme horror...

A cold, piercing, and emotionless hoarse voice suddenly and without warning sounded directly behind his head.

"Are you disturbing my meal?"

boom!

These five words were like a thunderbolt, exploding directly in the depths of the black-robed elder's soul!

An unprecedented sense of impending doom, almost freezing his blood, crawled all over him like a cold, venomous snake!

"Mysterious Netherworld Dharma Form! Open for me!"

The black-robed elder let out a hysterical scream, not daring to turn around.

He unleashed all the true energy within his dantian without reservation!

Rumble—!

A terrifying black skeleton, thirty meters tall and engulfed in eerie green flames, rose from the ground, instantly leveling the surrounding forest!

Faxiangtiandi!

This is the signature ultimate move of a Grandmaster-level expert, which materializes true qi and possesses devastating power to destroy cities and fortresses!

"Die! Die!!!"

The black-robed elder, acting like a madman, manipulated the thirty-meter-tall black skull dharma image, suddenly turned around, and swung his huge bone claws, which were as big as small mountains, with terrifying power that could tear through the void, and slammed them down on Lin Yuan behind him!

This strike is enough to level a small hill!

however.

In mid-air.

Lin Yuan still maintained that robust physique beneath his thin clothes.

He was even holding the half-eaten piece of roast meat in his left hand.

Faced with the overwhelming barrage of images of grandmasters.

Lin Yuan frowned slightly beneath his mask, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.

"It's so noisy."

He slowly raised his right hand, which was covered in a layer of grease.

He simply and casually slapped her across the air.

Snapped--! ! !

This slap, though it landed on the air, produced a terrifyingly crisp sound that made the heavens and earth pale in comparison!

The abnormal mass, compressed 108,000 times, shattered the physical limits of this world in the instant of a wave of the hand!

The space in front of Lin Yuan was like a piece of glass that had been smashed by a hammer, instantly revealing countless visible black cracks!

Followed by.

An extremely violent, invisible physical storm that spread out in a fan shape suddenly erupted!

The towering, arrogant black skull statue, standing thirty meters tall, was struck by this physical storm the moment it came into contact with it.

Like an ice cream under the scorching sun, it couldn't even last half a second before collapsing, shattering, and finally turning into dust from the fingertips!

"No...this is impossible! How could a mere physical body shatter a Dharma form?!"

The black-robed elder let out his last scream, filled with despair and disbelief.

next second.

The terrifying physical storm, still powerful, lashed out at him.

boom!

Even a master's powerful physical body is as fragile as a water balloon in the face of this physical force that is like a dimensional reduction attack.

The black-robed elder suddenly stopped in mid-air, then exploded into a thick cloud of blood mist that drifted away with the wind.

Not even a single intact bone was left.

a slap.

A grandmaster has fallen!

"It affects appetite."

Lin Yuan coldly withdrew his right hand, shook off the blood foam, and landed lightly back on the ground.

He skillfully walked directly beneath the cloud of blood mist and crouched down.

In a patch of scorched earth, they unearthed a spatial ring that emitted a faint glow.

Lin Yuan wiped the blood off the ring with his clothes, preparing to investigate the background of this cult master.

rustle.

Just then.

The dense bushes less than twenty meters away from him were suddenly and roughly pushed aside from the outside.

Su Qinghan rushed out, covered in sweat and panting heavily.

She followed the glowing trail of "Shadowless Fragrance" and exerted all her strength to get here.

however.

The moment she parted the leaves, she was completely stunned.

The land is scarred and ravaged.

The lingering aftershocks of Grandmaster-level true energy still hung in the air.

And, there was that burly figure with his back to her, wearing a pale white plastic mask, squatting on the ground rummaging for his spoils without any semblance of a peerless master!

That silhouette, that familiar posture of looting a corpse.

And there was that pure, extreme physical trace of destruction in the air!

Su Qinghan's beautiful eyes widened instantly, she covered her lips tightly with both hands, and her heart almost stopped beating at that moment.

The extreme shock and disbelief made her forget to breathe.

"A Grandmaster... a senior master?!"

Su Qinghan gasped in surprise, her voice filled with immense excitement and fervor.

She never expected that her pursuit of Lin Yuan would lead her to directly encounter this legendary, elusive master here!

What about Lin Yuan?

Could it be that Lin Yuan has already been hidden away by the senior? Or did the senior kill a cult master here to protect Lin Yuan?!

I heard a gasp from behind.

Lin Yuan, who was squatting on the ground, stiffened slightly.

Is this woman born in the Year of the Dog? How did she manage to follow us like that?

Lin Yuan stood up and slowly turned his head. The pale mask he wore under the moonlight exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.

He was preparing to use that "the way of heaven is unpredictable" rhetoric to fool them again.

Om-! ! !

In that very instant.

A sudden change has occurred!

The once clear sky above the forest was suddenly filled with large, blood-red dark clouds that rolled in without warning!

The gravitational field within a ten-mile radius underwent a terrifying distortion at that moment. All the trees, boulders, and even the blood on the ground began to uncontrollably hurled upwards into the sky!

A deathly pressure, ten or even a hundred times more terrifying than that of the Grandmaster Elder, descended from the sky as if it were a tangible force, completely sealing off all escape routes in this world!

"Finally found you... You cowardly little rat who loves to hide!"

A deafening, chilling voice, like a thunderclap, boomed through the clouds.

Su Qinghan felt her knees buckle, unable to withstand the terrifying pressure that felt like divine punishment, and collapsed to the ground, her beautiful eyes filled with unprecedented shock!

At the same time.

Three beams of light, radiating an aura of destruction and as dazzling as the blazing sun.

It slowly emerged in mid-air!

Three Grandmasters!

In order to eliminate this "Grandmaster of Horizontal Training" who ruined their plans, the Dark Spirit Society actually used the Grandmaster as bait to set up an absolutely unsolvable and fatal trap!
