Slaughter to Prove Your Dao: Unlock the Great Sage Equal to Heaven at the Start!

And that terrifying defense...

The wolf king no longer hesitated; it knew.

Further probing would only result in pointless sacrifices.

It tilted its head back and let out a low, rhythmic howl.

Waaah—!

Upon hearing this howl, all the demonic beasts surrounding Chen Xing...

Upon receiving the clearest instructions, without the slightest hesitation, they immediately ceased their attack and turned to flee!

They no longer maintained formation, but instead moved at top speed in different directions.

They darted into the piles of rocks, bushes, and shadows behind the hillside, disappearing completely in the blink of an eye.

Only a few still-warm corpses and the lingering smell of blood remained.

The retreat was decisive and swift, without any hesitation.

Chen Xing did not pursue. He leaned on his Sky-Splitting Staff, slightly out of breath.

He unleashed a series of bursts of speed from the initial stage of Somersault Cloud, a stun spell, and the Lesser Mastery of the Nine Forms of Burning Heaven.

Although the time was extremely short, the energy expenditure was considerable.

He raised his head and looked back at the hillside.

The dark golden wolf king gave Chen Xing a deep look.

The shock in his eyes had faded, replaced by coldness, but there seemed to be a hint of something more...

Complex meaning.

It made no sound, but simply turned around slowly.

The dark golden figure disappeared silently behind the ridgeline, blending into the twilight.

As the sun set, it sank just below the distant mountains, the last rays of light fading away, and darkness quickly enveloped the world.

Chen Xing walked to the corpses of the monsters.

The most valuable materials were quickly processed and collected into the Void Ring.

Then, he returned to the Qitian Chariot.

He didn't leave immediately, but sat in the driver's seat and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.

He used the Thunder Breathing Technique to quickly recover his depleted energy and blood, while simultaneously processing the brief but intense battle that had just taken place.

"The test is over." Chen Xing understood.

In this first wave, the opponent sent out more than twenty Tier 3 lower-level units.

The goal is to figure out his approximate strength level, fighting style, and trump cards.

He demonstrated terrifying speed (Somersault Cloud), explosive power (Nine Forms of Burning Heaven), defense (Indestructible Vajra), and bizarre control abilities (Immobilization Technique).

Although the Fiery Eyes and Blazing Hell techniques may not have been revealed yet, these are what they have shown.

That's enough to make the other party reassess his threat level.

Then what follows will no longer be just a test.

"keep going."

Chen Xing opened his eyes and started the engine.

The Qitian Chariot bypassed the roadblocks and continued deeper into the 079 Demon Cave.

……

Night had completely fallen.

The night outside the Demon Cave (079) is more dangerous and eerie than the Darkblood Wasteland.

In the distance, eerie sounds, chilling and indistinguishable as animal roars or something else, could be heard from time to time.

The terrain has also become increasingly rugged and complex.

Huge weathered rocks crouched in the darkness like silent behemoths, while twisted, withered trees bared their fangs and claws.

Chen Xing drove the car into a relatively sheltered, narrow valley and stopped it.

Continuous driving and high vigilance meant he also needed a short rest to recover his energy.

He had just turned off the engine, opened the car door, and his feet hadn't even touched the ground yet—

hum!

It twitched slightly, as if an automatic warning had been issued by a keen eye!

Golden light swirled deep within his pupils, and his vision shifted instantly!

In his perception, there were three extremely powerful beings.

Dark red energy points radiating a chilling killing intent.

From three distinct directions, at an astonishing speed.

They rapidly approached the valley where he was located, forming a perfect triangular encirclement!

Its speed far surpasses that of the previous third-tier lower-level demonic beasts!

Moreover, they made no attempt to conceal their presence.

That surging killing intent and oppressive aura firmly locked onto Chen Xing in the center of the valley!

Peak Tier 3! And three of them! Appearing simultaneously!

This time, it was no longer a tentative encirclement and harassment.

This is no secret—a decisive game!

After initially assessing his strength, the other side directly dispatched high-end combat power capable of overwhelming most third-realm martial artists.

We must nip this threat in the bud before it gets any deeper!

"They're here!" Chen Xing's eyes turned cold, but his heart remained calm and icy.

He had expected this, but he hadn't anticipated that the hospitality would come so quickly and so grandly!

He slammed the car door shut and kicked it off.

His figure shot towards the relatively open area in the center of the valley like an arrow released from a bow.

At the same time, the Sky-Splitting Staff was already in hand, and the mental cultivation technique of the Lesser Completion of the Nine Forms of Burning Heaven was being fully activated.

The fiery blood and qi surged and roared within my body like volcanic magma!

The golden light of Da Cheng's "Indestructible Vajra" is faintly visible beneath the skin.

The muffled thunderous sound of the Thunder Breathing Technique reverberated in his chest, instantly elevating his condition to its peak!

Almost the instant he regained his footing—

In the shadows of the rock wall on the left, there was a creature that was even larger than the one in the Darkblood Ruins.

The Shadow Panther, entirely black except for its blood-red eyes, resembled a true ghost.

It pounced silently, its sharp claws aimed straight for Chen Xing's throat!

It was incredibly fast, carrying a chilling force that seemed to tear at the soul!

On the right is an ironback lizard with a shoulder height of over 2.5 meters, a body length of nearly 8 meters, and covered with thick, armor-like bony plates.

With a low growl, it launched a savage charge!

With each step he took, the ground trembled slightly, as if it were a small earthquake, sealing off Chen Xing's space to dodge to the right!

Directly ahead, in the darkness at the entrance of the valley, a huge shadow rose into the air!

It was a creature with a wingspan of over ten meters, its entire body covered in dark red scales.

A Bloodwinged Python with a pair of tattered fleshy wings on its back, a ferocious snake head, and corrosive venom dripping from its mouth!

It opened its huge mouth, and a foul-smelling, dark green venom sprayed towards Chen Xing's head and face!

The space in front and above is completely blocked!

Three heads, third tier peak!

Shadow Panther (Assassin, lightning-fast stealth attack)!

Ironback Lizard (Tank, frontal assault)!

Bloodwing Serpent (Mage, Ranged Suppression)!

A perfect triangle-kill combination!

This instantly cornered Chen Xing!

There's no way to avoid it!

There's no way to retreat!

Blood and gold intertwined in Chen Xing's eyes.

The passive skill [Raging Tide] in "Battle Saint Body" is triggered the moment a deadly threat is sensed!

All attributes increased by 20%!

His already surging blood and energy surged even more!

Faced with a triple attack, he did not choose to dodge the venom and impact that were almost impossible to completely avoid.

Instead, he steeled his heart and made an extremely crazy choice—

Hold your ground! Counterattack! Break through one of their defenses first!

He unleashed the full power of his Somersault Cloud, but not to dodge backward or to the side.

Instead, it went upstream against the flow, heading straight for the Bloodwinged Python that was spitting venom!

At the same time, the fiery blood and energy within his body were frantically injected into the Sky-Splitting Staff!

【Nine Forms of Burning Heaven - Fourth Form: Fire Rain Meteor】!

The staff's shadows split apart, like a rain of fire, meeting the oncoming venom and evaporating most of it!

A few stray venoms splashed onto him, but were resisted by his indestructible body.

It only made a hissing corrosion sound and left shallow scorch marks, failing to cause any effective damage!

【Nine Forms of Burning Heaven - Fifth Form: Fire Dragon Slaughter】!

Breaking through the venom, the Sky-Splitting Staff transformed into a ferocious fire dragon.

It strangled the Bloodwing Python, whose movements were slightly slowed by spitting venom in the air!

A look of horror flashed in the Bloodwing Python's eyes. It hadn't expected this human to be so fierce, advancing instead of retreating!

It wanted to flap its wings and rise higher, but Chen Xing's somersault cloud had too fast a short-distance burst of speed!

The Sky-Splitting Staff slammed down hard on its relatively fragile abdominal scales!

Boom—! Crack!

Scales shattered, blood spurted out!

The Bloodwing Python let out a painful hiss.

The massive body was slammed into the ground by the blow!

However, at that moment, the claws of the Shadow Panther on the left had already touched the skin on the back of Chen Xing's neck!

The chilling killing intent sent shivers down his spine!

The charge from the ironback dragon on the right was also imminent.

The terrifying gust of wind made him catch his breath!

A matter of life and death!
