At eighty, the Holy Sect's enchanting woman aided in achieving longevity.

On the outskirts of the outer city, in a corner of a completely abandoned burial ground.

Chen Changsheng leaned quietly against the cold, piercing rock wall, his once deep eyes now bloodshot.

He stared blankly into the void, as if all his vital energy had been drained away with Ji Ruxue's departure.

He sat there for a full three hours.

[System Notification: The Immortal Realm Fire Seed has dissipated and is now nourishing its mother body; the repair and evolution of its physique is complete.]

As the last rays of the setting sun sank below the horizon, and boundless darkness completely swallowed the light, Chen Changsheng finally slowly raised his head.

A terrifying, fierce light suddenly gathered in those previously lifeless eyes.

"Cough cough...Young Master..."

Just then, the void twisted violently.

A burly figure, covered in blood, fell from the sky in a disheveled state.

Canfeng knelt on one knee, his massive black sword shattered, and a horrific wound on his chest that nearly severed him at the waist.

The broken golden elixir, faintly visible within, exudes an aura of annihilation.

He failed.

The hidden Golden Core attacker was extremely powerful, even going so far as to self-destruct his natal magic weapon to severely injure Canfeng.

Canfeng grabbed Chen Changsheng's sleeve, his lips trembling, and spat out a mouthful of black blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.

"Young Master... I am incompetent... I failed to save that bastard, but I searched his soul before he died... That high-ranking Golden Core assassin... was secretly hired from the black market by Li Tianhai, the young master of the Hehuan Sect, using two third-tier demonic cauldrons! Today's situation was all set up by Li Wuyai to sever the foundation of Saintess Peak!"

Li Wuyai, Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect!

His son, Li Tianhai.

Upon hearing this name, Chen Changsheng was so angry that he laughed, his lips curling into a slight smirk.

That smile was like that of a demon crawling in a dark cave.

The image of Ji Ruxue, her face stained with blood, critically injured and forcibly taken away flashed wildly through her mind.

Endless killing intent and resentment completely ignited him at this moment.

Perhaps sensing Chen Changsheng's intention, Canfeng trembled as he handed over a dark red pill that emitted a pungent, bloody odor.

"This is the [Nine Extremes Blood Burning Pill] left behind by our lord. It can forcibly push your cultivation to the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage within ten breaths! However, all your meridians will be shattered afterward... Young Master, please do not act impulsively..."

Chen Changsheng snatched the pill, his eyes flashing with a frantic determination.

The meridians are completely shattered?

With his Pure Yang Body and the System Divine Spring, what is there to fear!

Chen Changsheng swallowed the Nine Extremes Blood Burning Pill, which was filled with a violent aura.

Suddenly, a surge of extremely yin demonic energy, so violent it nearly burst his body, exploded wildly within him.

He forcefully raised his aura to the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage, then broke through the barrier and went straight to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage before stopping.

Is it in the middle stage of Foundation Building?

It's likely because of his Pure Yang Body that he needs more resources.

Immediately afterward, with a slight thought, he activated the heaven-defying concealment technique attached to the [World of Myriad Descendants]—the [Deceiving Heaven Technique of All Heavens]!

hum!

Chen Changsheng's body swayed strangely in place for a moment, and then he disappeared into thin air, as if he had been completely erased from the world.

This technique of concealment is terrifying.

It concealed far more than just the physical body; it completely sealed away all external and internal energy, heartbeats, and even the surging pressure of the Foundation Establishment stage within the cracks of space.

As long as he doesn't actively expose himself or get touched, even a Nascent Soul stage expert would have a hard time detecting him in the slightest!

Without being seen or heard, Chen Changsheng held a poisoned dagger he had picked up from the remains of a suicide victim.

Like an invisible Asura emerging from the void, it headed straight for the direction of the Hehuan Sect's young master's residence.

At this moment, the young master's mansion was brightly lit.

Li Tianhai, dressed in a black robe with python patterns, sat in the main seat, drinking spirit wine with a lewd smile on his face.

Su Manqing knelt on the ground with empty eyes, humbly pouring him wine.

"Hahaha, that was great! Today was truly exhilarating!"

Li Tianhai, his tongue slurred, laughed wildly and without restraint:

"Now that Saintess Peak is leaderless, it's already in my hands. In a few days, I'll find an excuse to lure that Mu Qingwan into my manor, so she can serve as my cultivation tool alongside you, Su Manqing! As for that old servant Chen Changsheng... haha, he's probably already torn to pieces by wild dogs!"

"Young Master is wise... That Chen Changsheng is nothing but a good-for-nothing, how could he possibly rival Young Master's glory..."

Su Manqing echoed mechanically, her tone filled with morbid flattery.

They would never have thought of that.

At this very moment, in a dark corner less than ten steps away from them.

Chen Changsheng gripped the dagger tightly, calmly observing everything.

He didn't rush to make a move; he wanted to prepare an unforgettable feast of despair for his opponent.

Half an hour later, the banquet ended.

Li Tianhai staggered back to the heavily guarded cabinet bedchamber.

The guards closed the door, but Chen Changsheng had already silently disappeared into the room just before the door closed.

Looking at Li Tianhai, who was lying sprawled on the bed, completely drunk.

Chen Changsheng grinned maliciously, and the Yin Demonic Essence within his body surged forth, transforming the poisoned dagger in his hand into a dazzling streak of light.

With all his might, he plunged the blade deep into Li Tianhai's lower abdomen!

puff!

This strike was exquisite; it did not take his life, but it ruthlessly pierced the demonic cultivator's most vital meridian, the "Sea of ​​Qi."

Having succeeded in his attack, Chen Changsheng used the profound power of the Heavenly Deception Technique.

He retreated again just before his body was exposed, disappearing into nothingness and vanishing perfectly into the shadows of the corner.

The real show is just beginning.
