Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

His face was completely ashen, his once gentle and proud features now filled with extreme hostility and rage.

From childhood to adulthood, he was the number one genius of Haoran Academy, invincible in his realm, and always crushed others beyond his level. When had he ever suffered such humiliation!

He was actually overwhelmed in two moves by a spy from an island nation, and was injured in front of everyone, losing all face!

Overwhelming rage and shame completely consumed his mind!

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Dongfang Ming uttered three "good"s in succession, his eyes cold and ferocious, his killing intent boiling: "I underestimated you, a cultivator from this island nation. There are always people more capable than you, and heavens beyond heavens!"

"I never imagined that a rogue cultivator could possess such heaven-defying combat power!"

"But do you think you can beat me like this?"

"Innocent!"

Dongfang Ming roared angrily, turning to look at the thirty-eight disciples of Haoran Academy behind him, his voice like thunder:

"Everyone, form the Righteous Spirit Gathering Confucian Formation!"

"Use all the power of the formation, pour your true essence into me, and help me unleash my maximum combat power!"

"Today, I will surely kill this son and wash away this humiliation!"

"yes!"

The thirty-eight disciples of Haoran roared in unison, their imposing aura shaking the heavens, daring not to hesitate for a moment.

In an instant, the thirty-eight figures changed positions, stepping on the steps of Confucianism and Taoism, their righteous energy connecting them, and the righteous and powerful true essence of Confucianism and Taoism in the world gathered wildly, instantly forming a vast and boundless righteous formation!

Confucian and Taoist formations differ from sword formations; they excel at amplifying cultivation and concentrating power!

Endless array power, Confucian and Taoist essence, and righteous energy flowed continuously into Dongfang Ming's body!

At the same time, a ruthless glint flashed in Dongfang Ming's eyes, and he no longer held back!

Burning the very essence of the Wind Spirit!

Unleash your ultimate combat power!

He directly burned his own Wind Spirit Body origin and cultivation foundation, overdrawing his own potential!

Gu Chen clearly didn't exert too much effort just now; if he hadn't pushed himself to the limit, he might have lost.

As long as you defeat Gu Chen and obtain the fourth-stage Lycoris Radiata, the burned essence of your physique can be replenished.

If they don't defeat Gu Chen, not only will they fail to obtain the rare treasures, but they might also die here. They cannot hold back.

hum!

The ultimate power erupts instantly!

Wind Spirit Body, Array Enhancement, Origin Burning!

Triple boost!

Dongfang Ming's aura surged wildly, breaking through the peak of the mid-stage Grandmaster realm and reaching the limit of the mid-stage Grandmaster realm!

Just one step away from reaching the late stage of Grandmaster!

At this moment, his combat power was overwhelming, and the wind pressure around him was terrifyingly powerful, which flattened the entire lake surface!

The power of heaven and earth converged on Dongfang Ming, and the righteous energy of Confucianism and Taoism enveloped the four directions, making his power extremely terrifying!

"You island nation spy, you've forced me to unleash my primal blood and push the limits of my formation—you have every reason to be proud!"

"But, this ends here!"

"Next, my move will crush all your hopes!"

Dongfang Ming's eyes were bloodshot, his aura was domineering and overwhelming, and he gathered all the power in his body to prepare a fatal blow!

All the onlookers' hearts pounded, they dared not breathe, and stared intently at the battlefield.

"He's risking his life! Dongfang Ming is going all out!"

"The peak combat power of a mid-stage Grandmaster! This is already halfway into the late stage!"

"This battle will be the strongest battle between the two forces in the secret realm to date!"

"No matter how powerful this rogue cultivator is, he's probably powerless against a mid-stage Grandmaster!"

Hope rekindled in the eyes of the Qingyun Sword Sect members, who stared intently at Gu Chen, waiting for him to perish on the spot.

On the lake, Gu Chen stood quietly, holding the Blood-Transforming Blade, his expression indifferent.

Watching Dongfang Ming unleash his full power, burning his own essence and reaching his limit with the help of the formation, there was not a ripple in his eyes, only cold killing intent.

The ultimate level in the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm.

They have some skills, but what can they do about it?

Gu Chen no longer held back, and the terrifying divine soul power of a Grandmaster at the peak of his realm was instantly and completely unleashed!

The divine soul power that only a third-grade grandmaster could release surged out from his fourth-grade late-stage Core Formation body. It was invisible and colorless, yet extremely domineering, enveloping the entire array space!

The power of the soul is silent and invisible, ignoring physical defenses, true essence shields, and array enhancements!

With a thought, Gu Chen instantly unleashed his secret technique!

Soul Piercing Cone!

The Soul-Destroying Secret Technique is activated!

The invisible divine soul sharpness instantly condensed into a form, like an invisible and shadowless deadly cone, ignoring the true essence shield and directly attacking the sea of ​​consciousness!

The target is all the disciples of Haoran Academy who have set up formations!

In the blink of an eye, all thirty-eight disciples of the Haoran Academy had their seas of consciousness pierced by the Divine Soul Piercing Dagger!

Puff puff!

A series of muffled thuds rang out!

All the disciples who had set up the formation clutched their heads and screamed in agony. Their sea of ​​consciousness was excruciatingly painful and exploding. Their souls were injured, blood was flowing from their seven orifices, and their minds were in complete chaos!

The once perfectly functioning and continuous Haoran Gathering Spirit Confucian Array instantly lost all support!

The formation's true energy became disordered and collapsed!

Boom!

The vast Confucian and Taoist formation shattered and collapsed completely in an instant!

The power of the formation was instantly wiped out!

Dongfang Ming, who was using the formation to boost his combat power and prepare a fatal blow, suddenly lost all the formation's amplification, and the power of his burning source instantly backfired on him!

"What?! This is a soul attack?!"

Dongfang Ming's pupils exploded, his face filled with extreme terror and horror!

He had never seen a Core Formation cultivator be able to project his divine soul and perform a divine soul technique!

Moreover, it was such a domineering and terrifying mass soul-annihilation technique!

The formation collapsed, the power backfired, and the mind was shaken!

Dongfang Ming's terrifying combat power, which was at the peak of the mid-stage Grandmaster level, instantly plummeted by more than half. His aura became violently chaotic, his blood and qi surged endlessly, and he was severely injured!

It's now!

Gu Chen's eyes flashed with a chilling light, his killing intent surging!

The Blood-Transforming Blade in his hand erupted with crimson light, terrifying true essence, and the power of the blade's intent were poured into the strike!

The second move of the Blood-Transforming Nine Blades: Slashing Through a Thousand Armies!

Perfect satisfaction, ultimate power, unleash full force!

A ten-thousand-foot-long crimson blade of light cleaved through the sky, carrying terrifying power that could overwhelm even a mid-stage Grandmaster, and head-on, it met the stunned and severely injured Dongfang Ming head-on, aiming for a fatal blow!

Boom!

An unparalleled crimson blade of energy crashed down!

puff!

Blood splattered everywhere!

All of Dongfang Ming's protective true essence and remaining righteous energy were shattered by a single strike, leaving him severely injured!

He was like a broken arrow, crashing into the depths of the lake, stirring up towering waves. His body was severely injured, his true energy dissipated, and his aura weakened to the extreme, completely losing the ability to fight again!

One move breaks the formation, injures the enemy, and crushes the grandmaster prodigy!

The entire room fell silent!

You could hear a pin drop!

All the onlookers froze on the spot, their pupils dilated and mouths slightly agape, utterly stunned speechless by the scene before them!

After a long while, gasps of astonishment and exclamations of shock suddenly erupted, echoing throughout the mountains and forests!

"Soul-based secret techniques! He actually mastered soul attacks! The rumors about the Flame Mountains are true!"

"Not only did he release his divine soul outside the Core Formation realm, but he even mastered a secret technique for attacking with his divine soul! This is defying the heavens above all else, a rarity throughout history. How did he do it? Doesn't cultivating secret techniques take time?!"

Some people who have never witnessed the battle at the Flame Mountains.

Today I finally witnessed the terror of Gu Chen!

I believed the rumors from over there!
