My classmates chose martial arts and fantasy, but I chose the prehistoric world.

Meng Chuan made a move.

His figure transformed into a swift streak of pale golden light, weaving through the monster horde.

Fists, elbows, knees, legs—his entire body becomes a weapon!

The Nine Revolutions Profound Technique forged a powerful physical body, supplemented by the peak Earth Immortal's magical power, and an increasingly skilled killing aura. With each collision, a monster would be shattered into dust!

He was like a tiger among sheep, invincible!

But the monsters seemed endless, constantly emerging from the depths of the gray fog.

They are fearless and undaunted, driven only by the instinct to devour living beings.

What's even more troublesome is that their attacks contain filthy, deathly energy that constantly erodes the protective golden light, attempting to pollute magical power and blood.

The black tortoise scales on his chest continued to emit a cool aura, protecting his spiritual center and heart meridian, but the consumption of his physical body and magical power was considerable.

Meng Chuan had just smashed a flying yaksha-like monster with a punch when his left shoulder was slashed open by the tail hook of another burrowing corpse worm.

The wound wasn't deep, but it instantly turned a dark black, and a chilling, excruciating pain spread, causing his movements to falter.

In that brief moment of hesitation, four or five monsters seized the opportunity to pounce, their sharp teeth and foul stench enveloping everything!

In the critical moment, a fierce glint flashed in Meng Chuan's eyes, and he held nothing back!

The golden lake within his dantian roared as he mobilized almost all of his magical power, along with the murderous aura he had gleaned from observing the God-Slaying Spear, and it erupted with a deafening roar!

"roll--!!"

He roared and shook his arms, unleashing a ring of energy mixed with pale gold and dark red, which exploded outwards from him!

Where the shockwave passed, the monsters that rushed towards them crashed into an invisible barrier, flying backwards, their bodies shattering in mid-air and turning into ashes.

The gray fog within a ten-zhang radius cleared away, revealing the dark, damp ground below.

Meng Chuan breathed slightly, and the dark wound on his left shoulder slowly expelled black energy and began to heal under the cleansing of golden magic power.

This outbreak consumed a lot of resources, but the effects were also evident.

The surrounding monsters seemed to be intimidated, and their attacks slowed down. Although their scarlet eyes were still fixed on him, they hesitated and did not move forward.

He looked deeper into the forest, where the fog was thickest and the outlines of collapsed buildings were faintly visible.

A glimmer of spiritual energy, distinct from the surrounding filth and purity, appeared and disappeared like a breath.

Lingbao is right there!

We must finish this quickly!

If this drags on, our magical power will be exhausted, and we'll be in grave danger relying solely on our physical strength.

Meng Chuan took a deep breath of the stagnant air, his eyes turning completely cold.

Immediately, he stopped pursuing specific techniques, pushed his speed to the limit, and charged straight towards the ancient temple!

Anyone who gets in my way will be killed!

A figure intertwined with gold and dark red transformed into a death hurricane, crashing violently into the wave of monsters!

Wherever it went, corpses flew and ashes filled the air!

He no longer dodges secondary attacks, but only protects vitals, using injury to clear a path and killing to pave the way!

Three more claw marks appeared on his left arm, and his back was splattered with corrosive venom, making a hissing sound...

But his momentum did not diminish at all, and the monsters crumbled one after another under his fists and feet.

With continued use, the murderous aura becomes increasingly refined, and its efficiency in absorbing Yin energy and nourishing itself also subtly increases.

As we approached the ancient temple, we could see that it was half a temple built of pale, massive stones, half of which had collapsed, and the other half was covered with dark vines and moss.

The palace gates are long gone, leaving only a dark entrance from which the pure spiritual energy emanates.

The monsters guarding the entrance to the palace were also completely different.

It was a three-headed, significantly larger skeletal behemoth with a dark gold skeleton and ghostly green soul fire burning in its eye sockets. Its aura had clearly reached the level of an Earth Immortal!

Behind them were dozens of various evil creatures whose auras were close to those of Earth Immortals.

"roar--!!"

The three skeletal behemoths roared silently, their eerie green soul flames blazing as they strode forward.

The heavy footsteps made the ground tremble, and the cold, deathly aura solidified into solid black frost, spreading across the ground.

Meng Chuan stopped, his chest heaving, pale golden blood seeping from multiple wounds on his body, fighting against the dark death aura.

His magic power was already more than half depleted, but his eyes were frighteningly bright.

He wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth and suddenly smiled.

"Come!"

With a single word uttered, he charged headlong into the three-headed skeletal behemoth!

As he ran, he formed a claw with his right hand, and the murderous aura within him was pushed to its limit, causing a faint, illusory, cracked spear tip to condense in his palm!

Although illusory and uncertain, the aura of destruction and slaughter caused the soul fire in the eye sockets of the three-headed skeletal behemoth to involuntarily throb violently.

The first skeletal behemoth swung its bone claws, the size of a door panel, down, the claw wind tearing through the air.

Meng Chuan neither dodged nor evaded, but instead thrust the illusory spear tip in his palm straight into the center of the bone claw!

laugh--!!

The illusory spear tip collided with the bone claw, producing a corrosive sound that made your teeth ache.

The dark gold bones, as sturdy as refined gold, were easily pierced by that illusory spear tip!

Immediately, a dark red aura spread along the crack-like phantom of the gun!

The skeletal behemoth let out a mournful howl, and its entire bony arm was instantly covered with dark red patterns before exploding with a deafening roar!

The soul fire also dimmed considerably.

Meng Chuan was jolted by the recoil, his blood churning, but he used this force to move like a ghost, dodging the bite of another giant beast and appearing under the ribs of the third giant beast.

He clenched his left fist, which was enveloped in golden magic, and slammed it hard into the joint of his spine!

Click!

A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out.

At the same time, without turning his head, he threw the dissipating spear tip phantom in his palm toward the second giant beast's head!

The phantom image disappeared into the soul fire in its eye socket!

"Splash—!!"

The soul fire suddenly expanded, then went out like a punctured balloon, and the giant beast's skeleton scattered all over the ground.

In the blink of an eye, one of the three skeletal behemoths at the Earth Immortal level was crippled, one was destroyed, and one was severely injured!

The powerful evil creatures that were closing in from all around were momentarily stunned by this fierce and invincible fighting style.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Meng Chuan did not hesitate and his remaining magical power burst into flames!

Pushing its speed to the limit, it transformed into a streak of light, shooting straight into the dark palace gate through the gap beside the one-armed behemoth!

He heard angry roars and the sound of rushing wind behind him, but he had already stepped into the hall first.

It went dark.

His gaze then fell into the depths of the main hall.

On the dilapidated altar, clear light flowed like water, illuminating the small area.

In the center of the radiant light, something floats silently.

It was a square, bucket-shaped object that resembled neither gold nor jade, simple and unadorned, yet it possessed a primordial, all-encompassing Daoist charm.

Where the light shines, all filth is swept away, and evil spirits retreat!

At a glance, Meng Chuan recognized the object, and his pupils contracted sharply at that moment.

"The... Hunyuan Golden Cauldron?!"

This magical treasure is far more than just "of acceptable quality" as Houtu described it.

This Hunyuan Golden Cauldron is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure!

It is one of the top treasures born at the time of creation, possessing boundless power and extraordinary mysteries!
