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

A human and a demon engage in an epic hand-to-hand combat battle on the vast martial arts arena!

Blood-red blades flashed across the land, and dark, demonic shadows blotted out the sky!

Thunder roared, air surged, rocks crumbled, and the sea of ​​clouds churned!

Everyone who saw it felt their scalp tingle and their hearts tremble!

"This is too intense! Is this a battle between a human Core Formation cultivator and a demon Grandmaster? It feels like a battle between a mid-stage human Grandmaster and an early-stage demon Grandmaster!"

"This rogue cultivator's physical body is outrageous! He can actually go toe-to-toe with the physical body of a supreme being of the Jiaolong clan!"

"The power of a first-grade martial art completely overwhelms the supernatural abilities of the demon race!"

After a hundred fierce moves, the Xuanlin Jiao's advantage was completely wiped out!

His self-healing speed is completely unable to keep up with the destructive speed of the Blood Transformation Blade!

Large patches of his scales shattered, his flesh was mangled, his supreme demon blood gushed out continuously, and his bloodline power was constantly being depleted. His physical advantage as a mid-stage Grandmaster was completely shattered!

In the midst of his mental turmoil, Gu Chen seized upon his weakness!

With the power of the soul fully unleashed, the Soul Piercing Cone explodes with precision!

An invisible divine soul blade pierced through layers of demonic energy defenses and directly penetrated the core of the Xuanlin Jiao's demonic soul!

"Aww!"

The extremely piercing roar of the dragon resounded throughout the heavens and earth!

The divine souls of demons are inherently weaker than those of human cultivators of the same level, and they are even less able to withstand the fatal blow of a sage's divine soul!

The Xuanlin Jiao's body convulsed violently, and its demonic power instantly dissipated, shattering both its illusory and real Jiao shadows!

He unleashed a devastating attack, cleaving through thousands of troops.

Gu Chen leaped into the air, gathering all his killing power into the Blood Blade, and slashed down with it!

puff!

The crimson blade light pierced through all defenses and slammed into the back of the Xuanlin Jiao!

Boom!

With immense force, the Xuanlin Jiao's massive demonic body was directly paralyzed on the training ground. Its demon core was damaged, its bloodline was depleted, and it completely lost all its combat power!

The entire process was exhilarating, a direct and overwhelming crushing of the demon race's peerless prodigy!

The training ground was deathly silent, utterly still!

A moment later, a deafening roar of gasps filled the air!

"We won! We won again!"

"Having achieved the Perfect Core Formation, he slew a demon prodigy from the Hundred Thousand Mountains whose physical body was comparable to a mid-stage Grandmaster!"

"To surpass two and a half realms and crush a demon race with supreme bloodline—this feat is unprecedented!"

"Brother Rogue Cultivator, you are absolutely the number one prodigy in this year's secret realm, unmatched by anyone!"

Countless geniuses went completely mad, their gazes towards Gu Chen filled with utmost awe and shock!

The Xuanlin Jiao lay sprawled on the training ground, its body covered in demonic blood. The arrogance and bloodlust in its vertical pupils were gone, replaced by endless fear and submission.

He fully realized that the human rogue cultivator before him was a terrifying existence that he simply could not contend with.

"Number 7349 wins, advancing strongly to the semi-finals!"

The Daoist chants boomed, resounding throughout the entire Sky Martial Arts Arena area!

Gu Chen steadily outpaced the demon race's prodigies, securing a place among the top four in the secret realm, shocking the entire audience!

The other three training grounds.

The winner was quickly decided.

The four semi-finalists have been determined, leaving only four exceptional talents!

With a variety of methods employed, the rogue cultivator Gu Chen was unstoppable.

The mischievous little barbarian king of the Northern Barbarian tribe.

Koizumi Tsutomu, the leader of the Koizumi family, the royal family of the island nation.

Lou Wai Lou, a prodigy, and a black-faced witch.

And the Buddhist prodigy who was eliminated in the round of 37 to 19, the Taoist prodigy who was eliminated in the round of 19 to 9, and the royal prince of the Divine Dynasty who was eliminated in the round of 9 to 4.

Those who are eliminated after the top 100 will not be scheduled for matches.

After the event concludes, you can challenge anyone ranked in the top 100.

The four finalists have now been determined.

The final showdown, from four to two and then from two to one, has begun.

Everyone gathered at the two training grounds in the very center.

The fourth round begins.

On Gu Chen's side.

On the training ground.

hum!

A chilling, eerie, and bloodthirsty Japanese sword intent suddenly enveloped the training ground!

The air became cold and stagnant, carrying a chilling and malevolent aura, completely different from the orthodox martial arts style of the Divine Dynasty.

A young man dressed in a black samurai outfit, with a double-handled ninja katana at his waist and a sinister and ruthless face, slowly stepped onto the stage.

This man was thin, with narrow and sinister eyes. He was surrounded by an extremely refined killing intent from Japanese martial arts, and every inch of his aura carried a bloodthirsty and murderous scent.

It was none other than Koizumi Tsutomu, the prodigy leader of the Koizumi family, the royal family of this large island nation!

A heavy murmur of discussion instantly rose from all around the training ground!

"It's Koizumi Tsutomu, the top team leader for our region in Japan!"

"The Yamamoto family, the Abe family, the Aso family, and even the top ninjas of the island nation's shadow guild were all targeted and killed by a mysterious force, leaving only the Koizumi family of the imperial family."

"Rumor has it that Koizumi Tsutomu had been plotting to acquire a Grade 3 rare and precious herb, which is why he didn't participate in the alliance between the three major clans, the Shadow Clan, and the Jonin Clan. A few days ago, he finally succeeded, obtaining this unparalleled opportunity and seizing the Grade 3 rare and precious herb, the Blood Spirit Netherworld Mushroom!"

"After consuming it, he broke through his limitations in one fell swoop, soaring from the early stage of Grandmaster to the mid-stage of Grandmaster, his foundation undergoing a complete transformation!"

"He possesses the top-tier Shadow Bloodthirsty Bloodline of the island nation, and has mastered the 'Netherworld Shadow Assassination Secret Technique,' a second-grade martial art from the island nation!"

"Furthermore, he wields two low-grade Earth-rank treasured weapons, the Shadow Twin Blades, and excels in stealth, ambush, and instant kill; he is virtually unbeatable among those of the same rank!"

"It's over, it's really over, Brother Rogue Cultivator is in danger!"

"This rogue cultivator has suffered heavy losses in three consecutive bloody battles. Now, facing a top-tier prodigy from the island nation at the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm, he is at a disadvantage!"

"Mid-stage Grandmaster is several times stronger than early-stage Grandmaster, capable of condensing a Qi Domain, resulting in a world of difference in combat power!"

On the Divine Dynasty's side, although they disliked the people of the island nation, they didn't have a high opinion of Gu Chen either.

Koizumi Tsutomu gave a sinister smile, his narrow eyes fixed on Gu Chen with utmost contempt and disdain.

"I must say, you are quite surprising. As a rogue cultivator, you have made it to the top four. Your talent is indeed remarkable."

"Unfortunately, your good luck has come to a complete end."

"After consuming the Blood Spirit Netherworld Herb, I broke through to the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm. My Shadow Bloodlust bloodline was fully activated, and my Shadow Killing Technique became invincible among those of the same level."

"The prodigies of the Divine Dynasty are all trash before the martial arts of my island nation!"

"You stole the Yamamoto family's martial arts techniques, which is a serious crime. Obey your fate and I will leave you with a whole corpse so that you can end your life with dignity."

Their words were filled with the arrogance, haughtiness, and disdain for the martial arts of the Divine Dynasty, characteristic of the island nation's royal family.

"You're just lucky, otherwise you'd be dead by now!" Gu Chen didn't answer his question directly, but said to himself.

Only Gu Chen himself understood the meaning behind his words.

If it weren't for this group of people from the island nation's royal family plotting with him to obtain that grade-three rare and precious herb.

They may have already formed an alliance with the Yamamoto family and others.

In the end, he suffered the same fate as the Yamamoto family, the Abe family, the Aso family, the Japanese shadow clique, and the Jonin club—all were wiped out by him.

"Very well, today I will make sure you are reduced to ashes." Koizumi Tsutomu coldly shouted. He couldn't understand Gu Chen's words, nor did he need to. Anyway, they weren't good words. His cold and murderous aura erupted completely!

The overwhelming pressure of a mid-stage Grandmaster crushed all directions, making him several times stronger than Tuoba Lie and Xuanlin Jiao!

The Shadow Bloodlust bloodline is activated, and endless black blood shadows appear around his body, with sinister and eerie killing intent permeating his soul!

The twin-handled shadow katana were drawn, and two jet-black blades of light hovered around him, silent, invisible, and formless, specializing in deadly strikes!
