The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

The gray mist slowly gathered.

A blurry human-shaped outline solidified below the stone steps.

Then it gradually became clear.

Ye Xiao stared wide-eyed ahead.

I never imagined that a person would appear in this form!

And the person who appeared.

Without a doubt, it was the legendary Adam!

One of the original three founders of the Human Alliance!

An old monster who has lived for five hundred years!

This moment.

Ye Xiao's heart was beating faster than ever before!

In contrast, the old man in black standing in front of him had a very calm expression.

It was as if from the moment he stepped into the nine-layered palace...

He had already anticipated this situation.

At this moment, Adam was wearing a faded white robe, the hem of which dragged on the stone steps, covered with dust and withered leaves.

He had a thin face, blond hair and golden eyes, and skin so thin it was almost transparent; in the moonlight, you could see the bluish-black veins below his cheekbones.

It looks like a partially decomposed mummy.

But those eyes were surprisingly bright.

The murky, dark gold color resembled a bronze mirror eroded by the wind for a thousand years.

It reflects no light, only the reflection of the observer.

"Greetings, you two."

Adam's voice was soft, like the rubbing of dry leaves, hoarse and slow.

He spoke Mandarin with perfect pronunciation, demonstrating great fluency and expertise.

After all, he's an old monster who's lived for over five hundred years.

Being able to master dozens of languages ​​is no easy feat.

"You don't seem to be doing well, judging from your tense bodies."

Adam's voice rang out again.

His voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with a powerful sense of pressure.

This is the natural suppressive force brought about by the Fourteenth Realm!

then.

Adam's gaze passed right through the old man and landed on Ye Xiao.

The moment he saw Ye Xiao.

A hint of excitement and agitation was clearly visible in his eyes.

"Is this the legendary Ultimate Martial Body?"

His gaze was as if he were examining a precious object that had been meticulously wrapped.

"What a flawless body!"

"This is the best vessel I've ever seen!"

When Adam finished saying those words.

Ye Xiao's expression changed completely.

Because all his previous conversations and guesses with the old man were correct!

Adam's target was indeed his body!

Ye Xiao immediately asked.

"Was it you who set up that formation at the Jiang residence?"

Adam chuckled softly: "I thought my plan was pretty good, but I didn't expect you to react so quickly and actually escape."

"However, the more you struggle, the happier and more excited I become."

"Because that precisely proves the strength and potential of your body!"

At this moment, Adam extended his right hand toward Ye Xiao.

"Come, give me your body."

The old man in black stood directly in front of Ye Xiao, blocking Adam's entire view.

Adam was forced to look at the old man in black.

He tilted his head slightly: "You've cultivated for almost a hundred years to get to this point; it hasn't been easy. I don't want to kill you; I only want him!"

The old man didn't move: "If you want him, you'll have to get past me first!"

"A monster that has lived for five hundred years, something that should be in its coffin long ago, is still wreaking havoc on the human world, bringing countless disasters!"

After being subjected to this barrage of firepower from the black man, Adam...

Instead of getting angry, he smiled slightly.

"Fine! Then I'll kill you first."

Adam said nothing more.

He raised his hand, his withered fingers gently twirling in the moonlight, a wisp of dark gray mist condensing at his fingertips.

The next moment, the entire stone staircase exploded!

The first shockwave erupted from the direction of the back mountain, like an invisible wave, instantly sweeping across the mansions of all the noble families in the seventh palace!

In an instant, the defensive runes of the seventh star palace lit up simultaneously!

Countless golden patterns appeared on the surface of the spirit jade.

It emitted a buzzing vibration!

The guards from each household were knocked to the ground, their spiritual spears flying out of their hands and embedding themselves in a crevice in the rocks thirty meters away, the shafts still trembling violently.

"What happened?!"

The first major commotion to erupt in the dead of night.

This startled countless people in the Star Palace.

And this commotion.

It was also directly transmitted to the [Longevity Pavilion] of the eighth Moon Palace.

At this moment, Jiang Henian was looking through some account books here.

When the tremor was felt.

His fingers gripped the pen handle tightly.

The ink smeared into a black blot on the ledger pages.

He raised his head and looked in the direction from which the noise came, his gaze sharpening.

A hint of coldness flashed in those usually smiling eyes.

"That guy... finally couldn't hold back anymore?"

He stopped reading the account book and left the room.

Then, he went to Long Tianyuan's room and gently knocked on the door.

Voices could be heard coming from inside.

"Come in, the door's unlocked."

Then, Jiang Henian pushed open the door and entered, and saw an old man standing by the window.

He stepped forward.

"Elder Long, Adam finally couldn't hold back and made a move on Immortal City's territory."

"He's too impatient," Long Tianyuan sighed. "Haste makes waste."

Jiang Henian said, "His lifespan is nearing its end. It's understandable that someone nearing the end might do crazy things to survive."

"But are we really going to let Adam possess Ye Xiao?"

Long Tianyuan said, "He is Adam, currently the one with the highest level among the extraordinary beings."

"Does that mean if we say he's not allowed to possess Ye Xiao, Adam won't do it?"

"There's nothing we can do about what he wants to do."

Jiang Henian said in a low voice, "If Adam doesn't die, he will eventually become a major worry for you."

Long Tianyuan smiled.

"I guess we've kept to ourselves, like water and water."

Jiang Henian continued, "But Adam's behavior has become increasingly absurd and outrageous."

"He even proposed to sacrifice the entire immortal city just to prolong his life."

"Should we really do as he says?"

"If Ye Xiao hadn't come here and diverted Adam's attention, I really don't know what we would have done now."

Long Tianyuan nodded slightly.

"We really have to thank Ye Xiao for relieving a lot of our pressure."

"It's unrealistic to fight against Adam."

"We also lack the resources to confront him."

Jiang Henian was somewhat worried.

"If he really does possess Ye Xiao, in the short term, our Immortal City is safe."

"But in the long run, is this a good thing?"

"Moreover, Adam's actions have caused too much of a stir; soon everyone in the entire Nine Palaces will know about it."

"By then, it won't be easy to suppress these rumors."

Long Tianyuan pondered for a moment.

"The best-case scenario is that Ye Xiao can escape from here alive."

"Given Adam's current physical condition, finding Ye Xiao in this vast world will not be an easy task."

Jiang Henian said, "But Adam will definitely force us to help him find people."

Long Tianyuan smiled and said, "Then just help him look for it. Take your time."
