A ruthless bandit from the celestial realm, he began his cultivation journey after kidnapping the Em

Xuan Tian Holy Land...

Inside a magnificent palace.

Liu Ruyan slowly opened her eyes, feeling the depleted pure Yang Flame within her body, a hint of disappointment flashing across her expression...

"It's all used up already?"

"This little bit of pure Yang Flame isn't nearly enough..."

"That kid's cultivation is too weak, otherwise we could have absorbed more of his essence."

She sighed helplessly.

Without the pure Yang Flame, she couldn't suppress the extreme cold energy within her body, making it impossible for her to continue cultivating; otherwise, she would suffer the backlash from the extreme cold energy...

Having nearly suffered a qi deviation before, Liu Ruyan dared not easily attempt to resist the extreme cold energy within her body again.

Just when Liu Ruyan had finally made some progress in her cultivation and seen a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough, the pure Yang Flame she had absorbed the previous night was completely depleted...

She wasn't content to stop there; she wanted to take that step as soon as possible, to gain absolute power and seek revenge against the enemies who had conspired to assassinate her...

If she just sits and waits to die, then she will be the one to die.

"no..."

"To prevent Bao Ping Continent from being ravaged... we can only make that kid suffer a little longer..."

"If all else fails, just give him some medicine!"

Liu Ruyan murmured to herself with a determined expression.

With one step, her figure vanished from the palace...

Qingyun Sect, Tianling Peak.

Inside a cave...

Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, frowning as he fell into deep thought...

After consuming eighteen Grade 6 Spirit-Replenishing Pills in succession, the refined spiritual energy was completely absorbed by the Four Directions Dao Platform in his dantian...

This is equivalent to the medicinal power of taking one hundred and eighty Grade 5 Spirit-Replenishing Pills!

However, his cultivation level still hasn't broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage...

"You're even better at sucking than that vixen..."

Ye Chen couldn't help but curse under his breath.

Realizing that it was impossible to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage tonight, they had no choice but to give up.

He glanced at the remaining sixth-grade spirit-replenishing pill, then waved his hand and put it into his storage bag.

I had originally planned to leave two Grade 5 Spirit-Replenishing Pills for Lin Ningxue, but I'll just use a Grade 6 pill instead...

Just as he was about to take out the Spirit Gathering Pill to cultivate, a slight noise suddenly came from outside the room...

"Clatter!"

The next second, the defensive formation inside the cave vanished completely...

"Someone's coming!"

Ye Chen's expression changed slightly, and he immediately became nervous...

The fact that the opponent easily destroyed the formation within the cave indicates that they are quite powerful...

He didn't even realize the other person was coming...

Ye Chen immediately got up and walked outside...

"Eeya!"

The moment the door opened, Ye Chen looked up and saw an old man standing in the courtyard.

With a white beard, an unfriendly expression, and dressed in a gray Taoist robe, he exuded a powerful aura of pressure...

In just one glance, Ye Chen felt short of breath, as if his blood had frozen...

"So strong..."

His expression changed slightly, alarm bells rang in his mind, and he realized that he had met his match this time...

This old man is not easy to deal with!

"You're Xu Xiao?"

Long Xingyu stared at Ye Chen with a livid face, his voice filled with murderous intent...

He sent men over and over to teach Ye Chen a lesson, but they either disappeared or got a beating...

He couldn't swallow this insult, so he wanted to personally kill Ye Chen to avenge Long Aotian, whose manhood had almost been crippled...

Meeting Long Xingyu's gaze, Ye Chen shook his head decisively without hesitation.

"no..."

"I don't know any Xu Xiao..."

Long Xingyu was taken aback. He paused abruptly, about to make a move, and frowned slightly, wondering if he had approached the wrong person...

He glanced at Ye Chen in front of him, and his expression immediately darkened...

"Kid, do you think denying it will work?"

"You injured my grandson, and I was just going to teach you a lesson and let it go, but who knew you would be so ungrateful as to dare to hit a disciple of the Enforcement Hall..."

"Since that's the case, then I'll take matters into my own hands and show no mercy!"

"Go to hell in peace..."

Long Xingyu said in a deep voice.

He was certain he hadn't come to the wrong place, so Ye Chen in front of him was lying...

Whether the kid admits it or not, he's determined to kill him!

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen realized that he could no longer hide it, so he spoke frankly.

"You're Long Aotian's grandfather?"

He already had a guess in his mind...

"It's me...it really is you, kid..." Long Xingyu confirmed Ye Chen's identity, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes...

A powerful pressure suddenly descended...

"Clatter!"

Ye Chen felt an immense force pressing down on him, like Mount Tai crushing him. His knees nearly buckled, and as he gritted his teeth and endured the pain, the ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch...

If it weren't for his innate superhuman strength, he would have been crushed by this oppressive force...

"Huh..."

Long Xingyu looked at Ye Chen, who was still standing tall, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

He possessed the cultivation of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and the pressure he exuded was enough to annihilate a Qi Refining stage disciple, or at the very least, severely injure them...

However, Ye Chen was completely unharmed and even managed to withstand the damage, which shocked him.

"She really is somewhat different from others..."

"No wonder you were able to defeat those Foundation Establishment disciples from the Enforcement Hall with only Qi Refining cultivation..."

"However, now that you've met me, your abilities end here..."

"It's a pity you have such talent. If you hadn't injured Aotian, I would have wanted to take you as my disciple..."

Long Xingyu looked at Ye Chen with an indifferent expression and said.

His spiritual energy surged, and he immediately prepared to attack...

Seeing this, Ye Chen's face darkened, and his heart pounded wildly. Even if he drew his immortal sword, it would be futile...

The opponent is too strong...

"etc..."

"You can't kill me!"

"Because I am... the man of the Queen of Treasure Bottle Continent, the Empress Xuantian!"

Ye Chen suddenly shouted.

Liu Ruyan had previously told him that she was the ruler of Bao Ping Continent, but Ye Chen naturally didn't believe a word of that boast. However, to save his own life, he had no choice but to use that title to intimidate her...

Long Xingyu paused for two seconds, looking at Ye Chen with a strange expression, feeling a surge of amusement in his heart...

"Kid, you really are... you'll say anything to save your life, even things like that..."

Do you think I'd believe such nonsense?

He snorted coldly, not believing Ye Chen's words at all.

"Do you know who the ruler of the Treasure Aquarius Continent is?"

"How dare an ant like you try to curry favor with the Empress?"

"You think you can be the Empress's man? What a pipe dream..."

Long Xingyu narrowed his eyes and walked step by step toward Ye Chen in front of him, gathering a powerful spiritual force in his palm, and sneered.

"Kid, if you're so capable, go ahead and call the Empress to save you..."

"Do you think she'll agree?"

Ye Chen's expression changed slightly as he watched Long Xingyu approach. He clenched his fist, preparing to draw his immortal sword for a desperate last stand...

A quick glance revealed something behind the other person...

"She's here!!!"
