Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

He threw his head back and roared wildly, the sound echoing through the cave!

"You despicable rogue cultivator from the Divine Dynasty, you think you've already won!"

"The bloodline fusion formation of my Yamamoto family is infinitely profound!"

"With the blessing of the sixteen-person bloodline formation, I have reached the early stage of Grandmaster combat power!"

"Fighting against a cultivator of a minor realm above your Core Formation level does show some skill, but you are ultimately only a Core Formation cultivator!"

"I have now reached the combat strength of a Grandmaster of the Upper Third Rank, an insurmountable barrier for you!"

"I will repay the humiliation you just suffered a thousandfold, a hundredfold. Today, I will make you wish you were dead!"

The Grandmaster's aura spread through the cave, and Yamamoto Kishi stepped forward, his sword technique refined, once again unleashing the Rank 4 Mountain-Splitting Wave-Cleaving Blade!

But at this moment, the fourth-grade martial arts technique, combined with the Grandmaster's sword aura, has increased in power several times over. The sword energy is condensed and substantial, and its killing power is far greater than before!

Inside the cave, the eyes of all the Yamamoto clan members burned with fervor, their killing intent boiling!

Yamamoto Kishiyu has achieved the Grandmaster level by fusing bloodline arrays, crushing late-stage Core Formation cultivators and guaranteeing his victory!

Gu Chen watched as Yamamoto Kishio used the power of the formation to enhance his combat strength, becoming arrogant once again, and all that remained in Gu Chen's eyes was indifferent mockery.

"Masters created by array formations are superficial and baseless, all show and no substance."

"You think you can stand against me just because you've reached the early stage of Grandmaster?"

"Utterly ridiculous."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chen stopped testing him.

He held the knife in one hand, his true energy circulating at a steady pace, the power of a Grandmaster's perfected soul silently enveloping his body, without making a sound.

He did not kill Yamamoto Kishio and the Yamamoto family members right away.

They also wanted to lure out the Abe and Aso families from the island nation who were lying in ambush.

If I were to unleash my full power, at least at the mid-stage of Grandmaster level, right from the start, I would scare them away.

Finally, they hid, and it was too troublesome for him to search for them one by one.

It could also affect his competition for the Spirit Gathering Pool tomorrow.

Faced with the array attack of a Grandmaster in the early stage, Gu Chen still only used the fourth-grade Killing God One-Slash.

With a single horizontal slash, the sword's momentum was refined, and the killing essence was pushed to its limit!

Swish!

The crimson blade energy burst forth, straight and simple, without the slightest hint of extravagance.

boom!

The force of the blade clashed violently with the sword aura of Yamamoto Kishio, a master of formations!

There were no earth-shattering phenomena, only pure overwhelming combat power!

Yamamoto Kishio relied on the formation to enhance the fourth-grade martial arts of the Grandmaster Sword Stance, which instantly shattered and disintegrated!

The Grandmaster's True Essence, condensed by the array, dissipated layer by layer like bubbles!

puff!

Yamamoto Kishiyu was shaken again, coughing up blood. He was slammed away by the residual force of the sword energy and crashed heavily to the ground. The array patterns on his body shattered instantly, and the blood-red spiritual light completely dissipated!

The sixteen-person bloodline formation shattered instantly!

All the Yamamoto clan members suffered a backlash from the formation, spitting out mouthfuls of blood. Everyone was injured, their energy was depleted, and the formation was completely broken!

one move!

Same old trick!

Break the formation, shatter the grandmaster's sword momentum, and wound the entire Yamamoto family with a single strike!

Yamamoto Kishio collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted, his vital energy completely dissipated, his breath weak, and his eyes filled with horror.

His proud island nation bloodline formation and the master-level combat power he forcibly built up were utterly ineffective against a single strike from his opponent!

Late stage of Core Formation!

A Grandmaster-level early stage cultivator who was elevated by overwhelming the formation!

His understanding of cultivation and his common sense about realms completely collapsed and shattered at this moment!

Endless fear, like an icy tide, completely engulfed his mind!

The rogue cultivator from the Divine Dynasty before us is not human at all!

It's a monster!

He subverted all conventional martial arts taboos!

The sixteen Yamamoto clansmen inside the cave were all ashen-faced and trembling. Their fighting spirit was completely shattered, and fear had seeped into their bones. They no longer had the slightest thought of resisting.

Yamamoto Kishiyu struggled to raise his head, his voice trembling with despair: "You, who exactly are you? From which transcendent force of the Divine Dynasty? Are you from the Daoist sect, the Mountain Beyond the Mountain, or the Heaven Beyond the Heaven? When has the Divine Dynasty ever produced such a young prodigy as you? You are definitely not an ordinary rogue cultivator!"

He frantically speculated about Gu Chen's identity. Anyone capable of cultivating such a prodigy must be at least one of the Four Sects, one of the Three Outer Sects, one of the Two Sects, or even a powerful figure secretly cultivated by the Divine Dynasty's royal family.

It's impossible that he was just a lone, independent cultivator.

Gu Chen looked down indifferently: "Who I am is unimportant."

"The important thing is that if only members of your Yamamoto family were here today, you would all be dead." Gu Chen's eyes flashed with killing intent.

Yamamotogishi's ambition was greatly shaken.

He no longer cared about the forces lurking behind Gu Chen, and roared a message: "Abe no Seiyo, Aso Fumio, make your move! Join forces with me to surround and kill this man!"

At this moment, the two top families of the island nation, who had been lying in wait in the mountains and forests surrounding the Black Rock Valley, finally broke their silence!

Two powerful and vast streams of true energy suddenly rose from the east and west mountains, pressing down on the entire Black Rock Valley!

Outside the Black Rock Valley, the mountains and forests trembled, and waves of air surged.

As Yamamoto Kishio's desperate cry for help subsided, two terrifying auras that had been dormant for a long time were completely unleashed and suddenly appeared in the world.

On the western side of the mountain forest, black mist surged and yin and yang energies flowed. Thirty-nine figures dressed in dark blue outfits and bearing the yin and yang emblem of the Abe family stepped out of the dense forest in unison.

The leader, with a delicate and narrow face, cold eyes and a chilling aura, exuded a mysterious and unpredictable true energy. He was none other than Abe Haruhi, the strongest member of the Abe family!

A fourth-grade Core Formation Realm Perfection cultivator, a top expert in Yin-Yang Deception from the island nation, proficient in the fourth-grade secret technique "Yin-Yang Spirit Locking Seal", skilled in trapping enemies, locking Yuan, disturbing the spirit, and breaking momentum. He is patient, cunning, and vicious.

To the east, amidst the rolling yellow sand and the surging, domineering true energy, forty-one figures clad in earth-yellow outfits and bearing the mountain emblem of the Masheng family strode out, their imposing, domineering, and powerful aura overwhelming.

The leader was a burly and robust man with domineering and sharp eyes. His aura far surpassed that of an ordinary Core Formation Perfection cultivator. He was none other than Asou Fumio, the strongest member of the Asou family!

Half-step Grandmaster level!

Having consumed a fourth-grade spiritual herb to break through his limitations, his physical body and true essence underwent a complete transformation. His foundation far surpassed that of Abe no Seiyo and Yamamoto no Kishio, making him the undisputed strongest fighter among the three major families.

The two major forces, with eighty elite cultivators, all lined up in formation, their true essence fully unleashed, their killing intent surging, ready to strike!

Abe Seiyo stood in mid-air, his gaze sweeping indifferently over Gu Chen in the cave, his eyes filled with a superior air of condescension and utter disdain.

He had been watching the entire battle from the outside, witnessing Yamamoto Kishio suffer two crushing defeats, his formation being broken, and his entire team collapsing.

Although shocked, he was not afraid.

Yamamoto Kishio was too weak; the bloodline formation he unleashed was too rudimentary, and his combat power was insufficient, so his defeat was inevitable.

In his eyes, a mere late-stage Core Formation cultivator, even with decent combat strength across levels, would ultimately be unable to carry the load alone.

Facing the elite forces of two major families, two perfected team leaders, and the support of two formations, certain death is inevitable!

Abe no Seiyo's voice was cold and hoarse, carrying the arrogance of a powerful island nation: "A mere rogue cultivator from a divine dynasty, with a little bit of skill that transcends his realm, doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."

"Dare to hunt down the Yamamoto family's forces? Today, the ground beneath your feet will be your burial ground!"

Asou Fumio stepped forward, unleashing the pressure of a half-step Grandmaster, his aura domineering and intimidating, his eyes filled with utter contempt:

"He's only at the late stage of Core Formation. Although he can fight against opponents of lower realms and has some monstrous talent, he is ultimately a rogue cultivator with insufficient foundation."

"Today, our two families have joined forces, and you alone cannot withstand our attack. Today, we will kill you and let you know that the major families of this island nation are not to be trifled with!"
