"There are people here?"

"Scatter quickly!"

Zhu Chen's previous performance had already left a deep impression on Hong Huang and the others.

Therefore, when he said those words, Honghuang and the others almost immediately dispersed and surrounded the hill without any hesitation.

"Fellow Daoist's perception is indeed sharp; no wonder even those ancient sects of the Upper Realm fell into your hands..."

The people hiding behind the hill, realizing their whereabouts had been exposed, could only emerge with displeasure.

Those were five cultivators, all of whom were at the Venerable Realm.

Among them, the most powerful was a burly, shirtless man with a golden aura emanating from his body.

"It's actually a golden giant that survived from ancient times..."

Honghuang and the others' expressions changed drastically.

The eight lower realms are regarded by the upper realm as a prison of sin and blood, where many great evil beings with ancient bloodlines are imprisoned.

And this golden giant is one of them.

It is said that they are born with enormous physiques and possess the divine strength to lift mountains and carry cauldrons. In the same realm, they are almost invincible in terms of physical strength alone.

The cultivators of this race never refine magical artifacts, because their fists are the most powerful weapons; a single punch can shatter mountains and split the earth, breaking all laws.

Unexpectedly, a golden giant at the Venerable Realm was guarding this place.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu Chen, we have no other intention than to ask for a few drops of Golden Liquid. We hope you will grant our request..."

At this moment, a middle-aged cultivator with a full head of silver hair walked out from behind the golden giant.

His attitude seemed very humble, as if he really just wanted to ask for some resources.

However, Zhu Chen did not let his guard down because of this.

These people were lurking in the shadows, clearly looking for an opportunity to kill them and take the Sun God Flower for themselves.

He's just found out, so he's shamelessly coming up with this excuse.

"What if I say no?"

Zhu Chen looked up at the silver-haired cultivator, a cold smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips.

The other party was not surprised to hear this.

He smiled and took out several magical artifacts from his cave and presented them to Zhu Chen. Then he continued, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, we are not those stingy ancient immortal sects. We will definitely not let you suffer any losses. These few divine artifacts are our compensation to you, in exchange for the golden liquid dripping from the sunflower next time. What do you think?"

In the resource-scarce Lower Realm, a single divine artifact is enough to cause a frenzy among countless people.

Some local families have passed down their family treasures through generations, and these are such magical artifacts.

Even Zhu Chen was somewhat surprised that these people could offer several divine artifacts in exchange.

"Who exactly are these cultivators from the lower realms? Where did they get so many divine artifacts?"

Honghuang and the others stared at the magical artifacts with expressions of shock.

Divine artifacts are nothing special in the upper realm.

However, in this resource-scarce lower realm, a cultivator who can produce so many divine artifacts at once is definitely not an ordinary person.

These people might be like the golden giant, ancient beings that survived from some period.

"—Whoosh!"

Just when everyone was shocked.

A surge of spiritual energy suddenly emanated from the sun flower.

A golden halo spread from the petals.

The originally closed flower stamen began to extend outwards at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In that instant, everyone's attention was drawn to the sun flower.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

"—Tick-tock!" The moment when those flower stamens fully bloomed.

An incredibly pure spiritual energy surged forth like a tsunami, crashing into everyone.

Zhu Chen only took a breath of this spiritual energy, and he felt that the bottleneck in his body, which had already loosened, started to move again.

"--boom!"

The next second, a feeling of complete comfort swept through my entire body.

Zhu Chen's cultivation aura suddenly surged!

The spiritual pressure emanating from the blooming sun flower unexpectedly helped him complete the inscription of the last array pattern within his body.

This allowed him to break through his cultivation level at this moment.

At this moment, Zhu Chen's cultivation level was no longer at the Formation Realm, but had completely entered the Venerable Realm!
"It's indeed a good thing."

A sharp glint flashed in Zhu Chen's eyes.

This golden liquid truly lives up to its reputation as a highly concentrated essence of life and divine matter from the Sun Tree itself.

Its essence of heaven and earth is so rich that it is almost tangible.

No wonder these venerable ones were willing to give up several divine artifacts in order to obtain these few drops of golden liquid.

Compared to this liquid gold, those few divine artifacts are nothing but trash.

"Oh no! That golden liquid is the essence of heaven and earth; it will disappear if it drips onto the ground. Quickly, fetch it..."

Honghuang shouted loudly to Xuanming, who was approaching the Sun God Flower, and at the same time, she transformed into a stream of light and rushed towards the Sun God Flower.

Seeing this, Lan Yu and the others also set off.

"Get out of my way, all of you!"

When the silver-haired Venerable saw someone competing with him for the golden liquid, he immediately raised his hand and unleashed a magical technique to repel Honghuang and the others.

Then, with a swift movement, he reached out and grabbed the Sun God Flower without hesitation.

Zhu Chen also wanted to make a move, but the golden giant stepped forward and blocked his way.

“You have already accepted our divine artifact, so you should keep your promise. These few drops of golden liquid are ours…”

As the golden giant spoke, he activated his innate magical technique, instantly growing his body to a height of a thousand feet, attempting to force Zhu Chen back.

"Go to hell! When did I ever take in a bunch of trash like you?"

Zhu Chen ignored the big, dumb guy and continued to charge towards the Sun God Flower.

"Ungrateful..."

The golden giant charged forward, fist raised in fury.

No magical light emanated from his fist, but the imposing aura he exerted was in no way weaker than the magical techniques used by those Venerable Ones.

This is the Golden Undying Body of their Golden Giant lineage. It can withstand the same level of magical techniques with just physical strength, making them invincible from the start!
If it were anyone else, they would definitely choose to retreat in the face of such a fierce attack.

However, Zhu Chen remained unmoved.

He merely glanced coldly at the golden giant, then casually threw a punch.

It was a simple, unadorned punch, yet it unleashed an unimaginable force!
The moment the golden giant's fist touched his, he was struck as if by lightning, and was sent flying back thousands of meters before finally stumbling and crashing heavily against a mountain wall behind him.

The golden giant tried to get up and fight back, but a sharp pain shot through his hand at that moment.

He looked down and was shocked to find that his fist had been blasted into a bloody mess by some irresistible force.

"My clan's indestructible golden body... how is that possible?"

The golden giant's expression changed drastically.

He never dreamed that his clan's proud Golden Indestructible Body would be broken by a human cultivator.
