We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Chapter 185 Advanced Basic Breathing Techniques - Five Elements Breathing Technique (8k words, requesting monthly votes)
"You said you would forgive me..."

Before the surviving lesser divine favored one could finish speaking, Shen Bailian's lightning-fast thigh, accompanied by a loud whooshing sound, slammed into its head.

Bang! !

In an instant, the lesser divine favored being's body exploded like a watermelon struck by a sledgehammer, blood and brain matter splattering everywhere in the misty rain.

As it drew nearer, the blade of the Dragon Slayer instantly pierced its heart, violently churning it like a raging sea, completely shredding its heart.

[Congratulations, you have gained 19 points of Divine Matter!]

"It seems that next time, unless absolutely necessary, we should still kill these divine favored ones as soon as possible." Shen Bailian glanced at the increasing divine matter on the panel and muttered to himself.

The lesser divine favorite who died last and the tall lesser divine favorite who was previously defeated were roughly equal in strength, and the divine matter contained within their bodies should also be similar.

Unfortunately, the former had already used up some of his divine power to heal his own injuries, so Shen Bailian obtained less divine substance.

As for what the lesser divine favorite said before his death, it didn't cause any ripples at all.

Shen Bailian had only said that he was giving him a chance, and the interpretation of what that chance was was up to Shen Bailian, not that lesser divine favored one.

Furthermore, even if you agree, so what? This is a war between nations. To be honest with a mortal enemy is a bit too blatant.

Even a moral exemplar like Dongfang Qingcang wouldn't do something so stupid.

"I should be the first to obtain the exact location information of Ram's lair, right?" Shen Bailian estimated the time since he left the war base.

About three hours passed.

At this point in time, it's unlikely that anyone will be able to obtain accurate information about the location of Ram's lair.

As for whether it's true or not, you can just make a phone call to confirm.

without hesitation.

Shen Bailian immediately activated his smart bracelet, connected to the war base's communications, and reported all the intelligence he had gathered.

Inside the war base.

"Xiao Shen, can you confirm the accuracy of the information?" Yue Feng held his breath, glanced at Lei Zhentian and Cheng Shangwu beside him, and carefully asked for confirmation.

He never expected that the first person to discover the location of Ram's lair would be Shen Bailian, whom he had no hope of.

Yue Feng had previously led a team to the largest black hole area in the 98 Cave Heaven Small World, but unexpectedly, nearly ninety martial artists at the Sea Opening Realm found nothing.

To know.

If the location of Ram's lair is discovered a minute later, Ram can stimulate the breeding of several more second- and third-tier ferocious beasts, and eight minutes will pass in the outside world.

Furthermore, the mission's timeframe is 5 days within the small world during the winter of the 98th, which translates to 40 days in the outside world.

Therefore, every minute and every second is crucial for Yue Feng's Sharp Sword Law Enforcement Team.

If they fail to complete the mission within the deadline, their Sharp Sword Enforcement Team will be doing all the work for other enforcement teams.

"There's a 90% chance it's true, after all, I got this information from a god-given individual." Shen Bailian's calm voice came through the communicator: "As for whether it's true or not, Captain Yue, why don't you launch a dozen hydrogen bombs over there first and we'll know?"

"That's right!" Yue Feng slapped his thigh, his eyes gleaming, and laughed, "You've done a great job this time, kid. I owe you a favor!"

Hydrogen bombs are arguably the cheapest items in a war base; hundreds of them were brought along just to complete this cleanup mission.

Although hydrogen bombs are not expensive, their power should not be underestimated.

With more than a dozen hydrogen bombs exploding at the same time, even if Ram had a lot of divine power, it wouldn't waste it like that. So its only option was to activate its domain and directly render all or some of the hydrogen bombs useless.

Regardless of the outcome, the location of Ram's lair will inevitably be exposed.

"As for the treasure land you discovered, you can explore it yourself. If you really can't handle it, I can help you deal with it after the war."

In the world of caves, areas that hide rare and precious materials are generally called treasure lands.

"Okay, thank you, Captain Yue." Upon hearing this, Shen Bailian beamed with joy. This was the time to earn cultivation resources and Great Xia coins.

After the communication was disconnected.

"Yu Hu, immediately launch twenty hydrogen bombs toward the area of ​​black hole number 27." Yue Feng immediately issued the attack order without hesitation.

All of a sudden.

With a sharp whistling sound, another twenty hydrogen bomb warheads were launched from the war base, breaking the sound barrier in less than a second.

Heading towards the region of black hole 27.

"Isn't this kid's progress a bit too fast?" Cheng Shangwu listened to the entire conversation between Shen Bailian and Yue Feng, a look of doubt on his face.

Even with the suppression of the Zhou Tian Star Array, the strength of the Divine Favored Ones will not be too low, and will not be lower than the second rank.

Shen Bailian single-handedly killed three Divine Favorites, yet only suffered minor injuries. This shows that his strength has improved significantly compared to the previous Golden Cup Martial Arts League.

"I really made the right bet this time. This kid really does possess a hidden holy body. I've hit the jackpot! What reward should I choose when we get back?"

At this moment, Lei Zhentian, having accepted Yue Feng's invitation to undertake the mission, had entered a state of silence as required by the Great Xia government.

Therefore, he is still unaware of what happened at the Starry Sky Martial Hall, and that his advice led to Si Buhui's decision to leave the Starry Sky Martial Hall and join the Heavenly Gang Academy.

If they found out, their initial joy would likely turn into bitterness. Upon returning, they would be lucky to escape the rewards or even be subjected to a humiliating beating by the Fourth Elder.

Not only did he lose his wife, he also lost his army.

Of course, this is also because Lei Zhentian still doesn't understand Si Buhui enough. He greatly underestimated the extent of Si Buhui's shamelessness.

……

One hundred miles away from Shen Bailian, in a canyon formed by an explosion.

boom! boom! boom!
Thunder roared across the sky, and streaks of silver lightning ripped through the night, like giant dragons dancing wildly in the darkness. Each flash of silver light was accompanied by a deafening roar that shook the earth.
Heavy, dark clouds, as heavy as mountains and seas, pressed down on the hearts of every living being, making it hard for them to breathe.

All the silver-armored demon wolves, along with two lesser divine followers whose bodies were half-charred and whose strength had reached the peak of the second tier, now had dull, lifeless eyes, and their bodies crackled with lightning.
All because of that terrifying figure in the sky.

Yuwen Changkong's eyes shone like stars, crackling with lightning, as if they could pierce through all illusions. The dazzling lightning made his body appear extremely tall.

The thunder dragon intertwined and slowly writhed on its body, its robes fluttering in the wind, each movement accompanied by flashes of hundreds of millions of volts of lightning.

"These ants on the ground dare to try to look directly at the brilliance of thunder. How laughable, utterly laughable." Yuwen Changkong coldly looked at the two divine favored ones below, his face arrogant.

At that moment, it was as if the roles had been reversed.

At present, Yuwen Changkong is still in the mid-stage of the Transcendent Realm, with a physical quality of only level 18.8. Under the influence of the Thunder Pearl, the range of lightning he can control is only less than three kilometers.

Once it grows into a martial artist at the Sea Opening Realm, all the lightning within a hundred miles will be under its control, and any ferocious beast below the third rank will be reduced to ashes, growing into a true killing machine!
"It's time to end the battle!" Entering his Thunder God state, Yuwen Changkong's electromagnetic wave detection range was enhanced to an unprecedented degree, and he could already observe enemies dozens of kilometers away.

With a slight thought, he...

All of a sudden.

Rumble~
Thick bolts of lightning, several meters in diameter, cleaved down from the dark clouds, like the wrathful strikes of a god. Accompanied by what seemed like a battle song from the distant heavens, the dazzling silver light filled an area of ​​several kilometers like a flashbang.

Earth and rocks flew everywhere, and all living beings perished—a scene of apocalyptic devastation.

……

"Tsk tsk tsk~"

"That's truly a terrifying ability. It seems I'll have to finish this battle quickly when facing Chang Kong in the future." Shen Bailian has now reached the late stage of the Transcendent Realm. His body has undergone multiple transformations, making his eyesight extremely sharp.

By simply ascending to a height of several hundred meters, one can vaguely see the dazzling, almost blindingly bright lightning a hundred miles away.

"Even with my level 19.5 physical attributes and the Force Veil, I'd probably struggle against a lightning strike of hundreds of millions of volts." Shen Bailian stood hundreds of meters in the air, staring intently at the spectacular and explosive attack effects, and muttered to himself.

Among the hundreds of reconnaissance personnel, only the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Saint Body—Yuwen Changkong—could create such a formidable presence in battle.

"Faced with such overwhelming power of heaven and earth, coupled with the home advantage, even a martial artist at the peak of the Transcendent Realm would probably not be able to gain any advantage in his hands."

The difference in combat power between top martial arts prodigies and ordinary martial artists of the same level is already enormous.

With the amplification of the power of thunder, compared to his strength in the previous competition, Yuwen Changkong's strength has probably increased by more than just one or two times.

"However, it's not without its weaknesses. While the attack is strong, it doesn't surpass my level. If we were to fight again, I might not lose, even though I have the advantage of higher physical attributes." Shen Bailian's eyes flickered slightly as he glanced at his own stats panel—

Character Level: LV9 (1803/3000)

Physical Strength: 19.5; Spirit: 19.3

【Eight-in-One Great Sun Visualization Method LV2 (240/900)】

Divine Skill: Shadow Follows LV6 (0/160) (Energy Storage: 1 times)
Eye of God LV2 (320/700)

Active Skill: Gale LV2 (542/600)

Tian Gang Qi LV3 (615/1100)

Basic swordsmanship LV4 (995/1100)

Basic Breathing Techniques LV4 (6/1600)

Passive Skill: Iron Body LV5 (280/2000)

【Cure point: 0】

[Divine Matter: 389]

The panel changes are almost negligible, but this is normal. As skill levels increase, the effort required to gain the same amount of experience at lower levels doubles.

However, the biggest change is that the physique attribute value did not increase to level 19.4, but directly increased from level 19.1 to level 19.5, a jump of 0.4 levels.

Level 0.3 is an improvement that comes with upgrading the basic breathing technique, while level 0.1 is an improvement resulting from long-term practice.

If it weren't for the need to level up from 19.4 to 19.5, Shen Bailian wouldn't have deliberately prolonged the battle.

"However," Shen Bailian pondered as he looked at the basic breathing technique on the panel, "I've already reached the late stage of the Transcendent Realm, close to the peak. The basic breathing technique seems to be a bit too slow to keep up with my progress."

Actually, it wasn't that the basic breathing technique was too weak, but rather that Shen Bailian's cultivation speed was simply too fast.

With the assistance provided by the Sun-level Dragon Gate Seed, even top martial arts prodigies can use it to reach the peak of the Transcendent Realm. This is an experience summarized by the Great Heavenly Body Intelligence Center from tens of thousands of cases over more than a hundred years.

Furthermore, the Sun-class Lungmen species are not fixed each year, but are subject to certain minor adjustments.

However, Shen Bailian's cultivation speed completely surpassed the imagination of ordinary people. On November 15th, less than three months after enrolling in school, his physical fitness level reached an astonishing 18.2.

But what is most unimaginable is that in just one month, Shen Bailian's physical fitness level has once again leaped to level 19.5.

This is not just a simple leap of 1.3 levels; it is a breakthrough in a small realm, representing a leap of nearly 15 tons of single-arm punching power.

At this breathtaking pace of progress, the improvements brought about by basic breathing techniques seem negligible.

Moreover, upgrading the basic breathing technique to level four requires a full 1600 experience points. Even with secluded cultivation, Shen Bailian would need at least three months to upgrade it to level five.

Low efficacy and slow improvement rate.

Basic breathing techniques, which were originally helpful, have gradually become a hindrance.

Therefore, the only way to change the current situation at this stage is to use divine matter to advance the basic breathing technique once.

This will not only boost the physical and mental attributes again, but also refresh the experience required to upgrade skills.

"The mission deadline is five days, and only a few hours have passed. Advancing the basic breathing technique and getting familiar with it will take at least several hours."

"Because I completed the reconnaissance mission first, I was able to enjoy a treasure trove all to myself. I have already completed 90% of the objectives I was supposed to achieve this time."

"Furthermore, I now have 389 points of divine matter. Advancing to the basic breathing technique only requires 100 points of divine matter, and the rest is enough to ensure my safety in the coming period."

"Then let's advance!" Shen Bailian's mind worked extremely fast. In an instant, he had thought of many things. His eyes gleamed, and with a determined look, he made up his mind.

Basic breathing techniques must be advanced!

Without any hesitation or fuss.

Shen Bailian's Eye of God was in its ultimate detection state, and in a short while it found a broken wall formed by the shock wave of the explosion.

boom!
With a slight thought, his inner force surged forth, and his speed instantly soared to its limit. In less than a minute, he arrived at the location of the cliff.

Boom~~
With a deafening roar that shook the earth, Shen Bailian, holding a knife in one hand, plunged it straight into the cliff face as if cutting through tofu, and then began to wield it rhythmically.

In just a few minutes, a cave of about ten square meters in size and more than three meters in height appeared before his eyes.

Of course, that alone is not enough.

With a slight thought, Shen Bailian's mind flashed, and a heavy black and gold combination lock box appeared in the very center of the cave.

"Unfold." "Voiceprint confirmed. Wilderness Butler at your service."

As the voice of artificial intelligence rang out, the heavy black and gold briefcase seemed to come alive, spreading out like water with a slight "whoosh" sound.

In an instant, it covered ten square meters of ground, and then continued to climb... until it covered the entire cave.

After undergoing iris recognition, Shen Bailian pushed open the door of the wilderness training room without hesitation and walked straight in.

The wilderness training room was lit with soft, non-glaring light, and a faint fragrance gradually calmed the restless heart. In the center was a Bagua plate and a futon.

Shen Bailian put away the nano armor on his body, and then took out two second-tier high-grade nutritional potions and one second-tier elemental crystal from his storage ring.

He then placed the latter in the center of the Bagua plate, and the mysterious, crisscrossing patterns on the plate immediately began to glow faintly.

"High-energy material, second-order elemental crystal, detected. Should it be precipitated?" An artificial intelligence voice suddenly rang out inside the wilderness training room.

"Set a timer for one minute, then begin releasing the primordial energy of heaven and earth."

"Open the flexible defensive force field, enter the camouflage phase, activate..." Shen Bailian sat cross-legged on the futon, issuing commands with practiced ease.

As the command was given, the door of the wilderness training room, which had originally stood out from the cliff face, suddenly began to become rough and changed color and appearance...

In just a few seconds, the damaged cliff wall was "restored to its original state," and an invisible, flexible defensive force field surrounded the wilderness training room from all 360 degrees.

A spherical celestial eye, already in optical stealth mode, slowly rose into the sky, inspecting everything within a radius of tens of kilometers.

Being in the midst of war, the equipment provided by Great Xia for each martial artist is naturally top-notch. Even if their location is discovered and locked, the defense system of the Wilderness Training Room is enough to withstand half an hour of bombardment from a martial artist in the early stage of the Sea Opening Realm.

After everything was ready.

"Hoo~breath~"

Shen Bailian took a deep breath and, after adjusting himself to his best state, opened his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, the golden glow gradually dissipated.

He stared intently at the glittering divine substance on the panel and the three large characters "Advanced" behind the basic breathing technique, lost in thought.

Upgrade?

If you level up, it means that it will be more difficult to gain experience points in the future, and it will take some time before your character level increases.

However, Shen Bailian steeled his heart and finally made up his mind.

Up until now, his potential has been accumulating and has rarely been depleted, so there is no need to worry about future promotions.

Moreover, with his innate talent, his potential is limitless.

"Advanced, Five Elements Fist!"

hum~
Shen Bailian's vision suddenly went black, and the familiar feeling of falling came over him again. He felt his consciousness gradually sinking, and a familiar pressure rushed towards him once more.

"Fortunately, it's not as simple as advancing to an advanced breathing technique."

As soon as Shen Bailian opened his eyes, he landed in a familiar place. Under his feet, familiar stone slabs, shining with golden light, once again appeared in the starry sky, forming a path that led directly to the golden portal.

It's not that he's overthinking things.

However, the database of Tiangang Academy does indeed contain advanced versions of the two basic breathing techniques: intermediate and advanced breathing techniques.

These two more advanced breathing techniques do not have permission requirements, only strength requirements. Only martial arts students at the peak of the Transcendent Realm are qualified to exchange for these two more advanced breathing techniques.

It's not that the Great Xia Dynasty didn't want to issue them to martial arts prodigies and top-tier martial arts prodigies sooner; the reason ultimately comes down to sensitivity, just like the rule that "it is not recommended to enter the body with Yuan Power before reaching the Establishment Realm."

The human body is incredibly adaptable and evolves along with itself. This means that basic breathing techniques, over time, evolve from being stimulating to having a harmless and imperceptible effect on the body.

If spending 100 points of divine matter only advances you to an intermediate or advanced breathing technique that can be bought with money, that's too abstract.

Shen Bailian's heart was bleeding.

However, once the entire universe is involved, it means that this advancement in breathing techniques is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface.

This time, Shen Bailian didn't waste any time. He was afraid of encountering the same situation as before, so he quickly walked towards the golden gate at the front.

Hey~
With a familiar soft sound, Shen Bailian successfully entered the core area of ​​the Universe Land.

boom!
The stable golden sun in the sky suddenly split off a wisp of golden flame, which transformed into a ray of golden light that instantly traversed tens of thousands of miles.

Just as Shen Bailian had predicted, his bones and muscles throbbed, and as he stood up casually, his internal organs suddenly trembled, like a sports car starting its engine.

However, this time, things took an unexpected turn.

Instead of crashing down onto the sea, the golden light in the sky shot straight toward Shen Bailian's location.

Shen Bailian panicked for a moment, but then quickly realized what was happening.

He realized that panicking wouldn't help, as this was in the vast universe, and that wisp of golden flame clearly had a guiding and tracking function.

So Shen Bailian simply gave up and sat cross-legged on the water.

Between the lightning and flint.

The wisp of golden flame struck Shen Bailian directly on the forehead and merged into him without any resistance, causing his entire body to radiate rings of golden light.

"The Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. The Five Elements are the foundation of the Great Tao, mutually generating and restraining each other, and endlessly cycling."

"The lungs govern metal, and metal is associated with killing and destruction... The liver governs wood, and wood is associated with longevity... The kidneys govern water, and water flows gently... The heart governs fire, and fire is associated with unrestrained action... The spleen governs earth, and earth is associated with sustenance and weight..."

As the voice rang in Shen Bailian's mind, his body began to move uncontrollably, and the frequency of his basic breathing technique gradually underwent a qualitative change.

The pure primordial energy that originally poured into the Dragon Gate Seed for tempering and then poured out in one go was now divided into five strands of primordial energy of different colors.

Under the resonance of different frequencies of the five internal organs and the pull of the primordial force, the five strands of primordial energy of heaven and earth rushed to the liver, lungs, kidneys, heart, and spleen respectively.

Subsequently, a portion of the five elements of heaven and earth, namely metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, became even purer after tempering the five internal organs. It then merged into one again and flowed through the meridians in the limbs and bones to the muscles, bones, flesh, and six internal organs of the whole body, causing the cells to grow stronger and stronger.

A new transformation is slowly taking place.

"Is this... really that amazing?"

Although Shen Bailian's body is currently out of control, his mind is in an abnormal state. His mental energy is extremely sensitive, penetrating to every part of his body, allowing him to clearly feel the changes within himself.

Compared to the basic breathing method, the current improvement speed has doubled.

……

Ram's lair~
While Shen Bailian was advancing his skills, Yue Feng led nearly a hundred warriors at the Opening Sea Realm and engaged in a direct confrontation with the ferocious beast army led by Ram.

"Roar!" "Roar—!"

Sunlight slanted across the battlefield, illuminating hundreds of thousands of enormous, ferocious beasts. Each one had bulging muscles, vertical pupils that gleamed with an unusual bloodlust, and menacing fangs that gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

They surged forward relentlessly, like an endless black tide, causing the ground to tremble violently and emit a dull echo.

The ground was littered with blood-red limbs and broken bones. Some ferocious beasts, severely wounded, had fallen to the ground. Before they could even stand up, they were trampled into a bloody mess by the surging tide of beasts.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

With a series of sharp whistling sounds, thick arrows of Yuan energy pierced through the wave of ferocious beasts, directly penetrating their bodies.

"Roar--!"

The leading late-stage Tier 3 ferocious beasts roared to the sky, their eyes flashing with bloodlust, drool dripping from their mouths. Their deafening roars echoed across the entire battlefield, like the beating of war drums, inspiring the beasts behind them to charge even more frantically.

The area within a radius of dozens of miles was filled with the stench of blood and burning, enough to make any ordinary person nauseous.

However, the warriors of Great Xia who can come to this battlefield are at least at the early stage of the Sea Opening Realm. As warriors of Great Xia, there has never been anyone who has advanced to the Sea Opening Realm without experiencing any actual combat.

Regardless of which faction you join, the Wilderness Trial is a test you must pass.

Martial artists who can advance to the Sea Opening Realm have experienced at least ten large-scale battles and are already used to such scenes.

Real combat is the whetstone for true combat power.

"kill!"

A late-stage Sea Opening Realm warrior clad in black nano armor was completely immersed in the battle. His Force surged, and his longsword swept out like a long river, instantly slaying dozens of peak second-tier ferocious beasts.

"It's much more relaxed here. It's just a pity that 60 military merits have just vanished for no reason." Xiao Long looked around and saw that no ferocious beasts dared to approach anymore. His tense nerves relaxed slightly.

Military merits are the hard currency of the Great Xia Dynasty. Many cultivation resources that cannot be bought with Great Xia coins can be exchanged for military merit points.

To earn military merits, one must either slay ferocious beasts while carrying out missions issued by the Great Xia government, and upon completion of the mission, one will receive corresponding military merit points as a reward.

Alternatively, they could go to the border of the Great Xia Dynasty to slay ferocious beasts.

On the border of the Great Xia Dynasty, second-tier ferocious beasts are merely lackeys, third-tier ferocious beasts are often the main force of the ferocious beast tides, and fourth-tier ferocious beasts can also be frequently seen.

As for fifth-tier ferocious beasts, they correspond to the Divine Palace Realm experts of the Great Xia human race. Even those favored by gods find it difficult to completely control ferocious beasts of this level, and they possess high intelligence, so they do not often appear on the front lines of battle.

boom!
Suddenly, the ground behind Xiaolong burst open, and an earth dragon rose from the ground, opening its blood-red maw and rushing straight towards Xiaolong.

however.

"Beast, I've been waiting for you." With his back to the attacking earth dragon, Xiao Long revealed a mocking expression. The primal force that had been gradually calming down suddenly surged and spread to the blade.

"Wow!"

Like lightning, with a slight thought, Xiao Long's body instantly soared into the air, rising hundreds of meters into the sky. His waist and hips twisted, and the already accumulated sword momentum became terrifying to the extreme.

One strike lasts a thousand years.

In the blink of an eye, the earth dragon's body, which was tens of meters long, was severed by the waist, and dark green, foul-smelling blood gushed out like a fountain, crashing onto the ground.

Blood was randomly sprayed onto the bodies of the other second-tier ferocious beasts, and the strong acid corrosive effect immediately caused their skin to tear open, emitting painful howls.

The late-stage Tier 3 ferocious beast, the Earth Dragon, is dead!

First and second-tier ferocious beasts can still suppress martial artists of the same level, but martial artists who can advance to the Sea Opening Realm have basically comprehended the Breath of All Things.

In addition, with their advanced weaponry, third- and fourth-tier ferocious beasts are often suppressed by martial artists of the same level. When facing martial arts prodigies or top-tier martial arts prodigies, the latter may even instantly kill the former.

At the fifth rank, the warriors and ferocious beasts will be evenly matched, because the fifth-rank lord-level ferocious beasts will awaken the rudimentary form of their own domain.

"Captain, your strength has improved again."

"Take it seriously. If you get hurt in a war of this scale, you'll be in for a world of hurt when you get back." Upon hearing this, Xiao Long stared intently at a young man several hundred meters away.

"Okay, okay, I understand."

With the communication disconnected, the young man returned to the battle.

Even though firearms couldn't function properly due to Ram's domain, the ferocious beast tide still showed signs of crumbling under the onslaught of nearly a hundred Sea Opening Realm warriors.

As mentioned earlier, the final outcome of this battle was already decided when the Gate of Rebirth was discovered.

Therefore, the most important aspect of this battle is not the outcome, but the process of the battle.

"Unfortunately, the real victory or defeat is not decided by us." Xiaolong looked up at the dark clouds in the sky. Due to the fierce battle, the dark clouds, which were hundreds of meters thick, had been blasted into holes.

Bright eyes pierced through the void and fell upon the battlefield, bringing a fleeting, insignificant comfort.

Although he was also a martial artist in the late stage of the Opening Sea Realm, he had only just touched the threshold and was still a very long way from the peak of the Opening Sea Realm.

Or rather, there is no possibility that he will ever reach the peak of the Sea Opening Realm in this lifetime.

"Damn, this group actually sent out three peak-stage Sea Opening Realm warriors all at once." Golden drops of blood trickled from the corner of Ram's mouth as it retreated continuously in the face of the barrage from Lei Zhentian, Cheng Shangwu, and Yue Feng.

This was completely different from what it had expected. The pressure from three peak-level Sea Opening Realm cultivators was not just three times as much. So, in less than half an hour, it had already become shaky.

One of the lesser high-level divine favored ones was blasted into dust by Cheng Shangwu in a previous battle and is still recovering.

boom!
Another violent collision occurred, and the strong wind caused the surrounding dark clouds to shatter. Ram quickly used the force to create distance, and with a slight movement, he instantly moved several kilometers away.

"No, we must retreat immediately." Ram felt its own condition and did not want to expend too much divine power in this inevitable defeat.

Keeping the green hills, you don’t have to worry about having no firewood.

However, one cannot suffer a great loss in silence, otherwise one will surely become a laughing stock among the other gods.

"Useless trash." Ram gave Melbourne, who was acting as the commander in the rear, a death order, and shouted sternly: "I'm giving you one last chance to live. Get the blood or body samples of those two people, or you will be doomed forever."

Then, it directly transmitted through a wisp of divine power the information it had observed through the River of Time regarding Shen Bailian and Yuwen Changkong's aura, appearance, and strength an hour earlier into Melbourne's mind.

Subsequently, to ensure the reliability of the plan, a portion of divine power was transferred to Melbourne.

"Yes! I will definitely complete your orders perfectly!" Melbourne felt the divine power surging within him and was overjoyed. He answered excitedly and instantly soared into the air.
