Chapter 89: Li Xiao's Brain Bash

Dragon Heaven Realm.

Broken Wolf gazed at the five Foundation Establishment cultivators before him, a fleeting trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"Is this all the strength you have when you join forces?"

Just moments ago, he had encountered several cultivators from the Divine Light Sect, Floating Mountain, and other sects, who had unexpectedly attacked.

Five late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, united together, were enough to make even some Essence Core cultivators wary.

But Broken Wolf, wielding the Radiant Sword, easily repelled the five with ease.

Kang Fulu's mouth twitched, his eyes filled with trepidation: "No wonder you're from the Radiant Palace!"

Lei Wen and Miao Li also bore noticeable injuries on their bodies.

The sword cultivators from Floating Mountain, renowned for their unmatched offensive prowess, seemed particularly feeble compared to Broken Wolf's Radiant Sword.

"You white-haired fellow, in the grand hall, you boasted and challenged me to remember you. Where is your junior martial brother now? Hiding somewhere? Afraid to face me directly in the Dragon Heaven Realm, you burrowed into a hole like a quail?" Broken Wolf held the flowing light longsword, his body shimmering as if bathed in sunlight.

Miao Li gritted his teeth, his eyes cold as he stared at Broken Wolf.

A faint smile appeared on Broken Wolf's lips: "It seems you're truly afraid. Since he doesn't dare to come out, I'll kill you first!"

Kang Fulu waved his whisk: "I am the son-in-law of the Divine Light Sect's leader and the closed-door disciple of the Five Lights Peak's master. Do you really think you can kill me?"

His white hair on his head was undergoing subtle changes.

The white hair seemed to be turning black.

Suddenly, Broken Wolf's eyes revealed a hint of solemnity: "Hmph, consider yourselves lucky."

Broken Wolf swiftly transformed into a flowing light and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Miao Li was perplexed: "What's going on? Why did he leave suddenly?"

Lei Wen glanced at Kang Fulu, his eyes filled with deep trepidation.

At that moment, Kang Fulu turned around, his face showing surprise: "Senior Li Xiao, Senior Pang Long, how did you get here?"

In the distance, several large clusters of white light were rapidly flying towards them.

In just over a dozen breaths, around sixty Divine Light Sect cultivators landed at the site.

Leading them was a middle-aged man with a greenish complexion—Senior Li Xiao.

Upon seeing Kang Fulu, Senior Li Xiao's heart was finally at ease.

"You're still alive, thank goodness," Senior Li Xiao said.

"Senior, how did you enter the Dragon Heaven Realm? Did something unexpected happen?" Kang Fulu asked anxiously.

The sudden appearance of Senior Li Xiao indicated a significant event.

Senior Li Xiao truthfully informed everyone about the situation outside.

Everyone's faces turned grim upon hearing the news.

"The old emperor faked his death and secretly colluded with the Crimson Sword Sect?" Kang Fulu realized, understanding everything, "So, the one who killed the Fifth Prince and others wasn't the Second Prince, but the old emperor himself!"

As Kang Fulu spoke, he hurriedly took Senior Li Xiao and others to see the corpses slain by Regret Dragon Hand.

Senior Li Xiao's face darkened upon seeing them.

Pang Long, standing discreetly beside him, spoke up: "I sense the aura of a Divine Infant."

"What? The old emperor achieved the Divine Infant stage?" Kang Fulu's expression remained unchanged.

The presence of a Divine Infant, hidden in the Dragon Heaven Realm, was undoubtedly terrifying.

"Since you're still alive, let's quickly leave the Dragon Heaven Realm," Senior Li Xiao decided promptly.

At that moment, Pang Long spoke again: "Where is Qi Yuan?"

Qi Yuan was not among the people present.

"Qi Yuan probably went to find the old emperor's accomplices. It's my fault; I underestimated the risks of the Dragon Heaven Realm." When Qi Yuan mentioned the Soul Remembrance Flower, Kang Fulu knew it was quite valuable.

After Qi Yuan left, Kang Fulu didn't ask for a reason, but he guessed that Qi Yuan went to find the Second Prince's accomplices to obtain the Soul Remembrance Flower.

As a senior brother, he naturally wouldn't compete with his junior brother for something he desired, so he didn't say anything.

"What? He went to find the old emperor's accomplices?" Senior Li Xiao grew anxious.

"Senior Li Xiao, please take the others out of the Dragon Heaven Realm.

As the son-in-law of the sect leader and closed-door disciple of the Five Lights Peak's master, I must bring my junior brother back!" Kang Fulu insisted.

Senior Li Xiao stood in contemplation: "Pang Long, you take them back. I'll go with Kang Fulu to find Qi Yuan."

...

At the Coffin Burial Site.

The Purple Robe Elder emanated a powerful aura.

Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He glanced back with eyes filled with rage.

On a crystal coffin, liquefied spirit energy flowed, entwining the coffin with countless vines.

Just now, an unknown force had been pulling, seemingly trying to extract the crystal coffin.

However, the Purple Robe Elder, after trying for several days, couldn't succeed.

He understood that the method given by the senior cultivator was actually useless.

Useless as it was, he kept trying, but with the sudden loss of the outpost's leverage, his chance was completely gone.

His anger had nowhere to vent, and he blamed it all on this place.

Seeing that he couldn't extract the crystal coffin, he had no choice but to leave.

At the same time, Qi Yuan, standing outside the outpost, raised his forehead, his eyes filled with a relaxed smile.

"The big guys still love me, huh? Sending me a unique Divine Infant—are they testing my strength?"

Of course, Qi Yuan also knew that their love for him wasn't abundant.

If they could, they would probably kick him out of the wooden house.

Qi Yuan held a kitchen knife, standing on the grass, the wind blowing his hair.

In the sky, the purple-robed figure rapidly approached, stopping just a mile away from Qi Yuan.

"It's you, Qi Yuan?!" The Purple Robe Elder's face showed disbelief.

He smelled a strong bloody scent.

This meant that the three hundred dead soldiers had all been killed! He couldn't comprehend it.

Why would Qi Yuan appear here?

Even if he was Ruan Yixi's son, it shouldn't be like this.

Is it possible that Ruan Yixi's cultivation base... has reached such a level?

The Purple-Robed Elder's heart was filled with fear.

But then he remembered that this was the Dragon Heaven Realm, and no one over a hundred years old could enter.

He felt a surge of confidence.

At this moment, he was a Divine Infant!

"You killed them all?" With everything under control, the Purple-Robed Elder scrutinized Qi Yuan as if he were a suspect.

"Yes, they are all under my feet," Qi Yuan replied softly.

"Are you not afraid that I might die soon?" The Purple-Robed Elder's heart was filled with worry, but then he remembered his own Divine Infant cultivation and strength, and his worry dissipated. "Can you tell this old man why you were able to kill them all?"

"Because I... am a Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator!" Qi Yuan said confidently.

"You're a Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator?" The Purple-Robed Elder's eyes revealed a look of shock, followed by endless despair.

He believed Qi Yuan's words.

Otherwise, he couldn't explain why all three hundred of his elite soldiers had died here.

He didn't know how powerful a Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator was, but even the Eastern Land Young Talents on the list could transcend their realm and kill Golden Core cultivators.

A Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator should have no problem slaying a Golden Core cultivator.

"Dao Foundation Establishment... Dao Foundation Establishment..." The Purple-Robed Elder muttered, his face revealing a look of relief. "It seems that all my calculations were in vain."

Dao Foundation Establishment meant that behind Ruan Yixi, or Qi Yuan, there was at least a terrifying existence at the Yin Soul Realm level.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to capture the essence of the Heavenly Dragon Vein.

With a Yin Soul Realm expert overseeing everything, all his schemes were for naught.

However, his eyes then revealed a sinister look. "With a Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator by my side, it's not bad to have Great Shang as my funeral offering!"

Hearing this, Qi Yuan's expression remained calm. "Are you overthinking this?"

Firstly, I won't be your funeral offering.

Secondly, Great Shang won't end, so why does it need a funeral offering? Only you will die, unless you think you represent Great Shang? You've been an emperor for too long, and feudal thoughts have clouded your mind.

That stubborn old emperor was still thinking too much.

The formidable power of the Divine Infant exploded at this moment.

"Great Shang is mine!"

With this furious declaration, a force of law many times stronger than a Golden Core cultivator rushed towards Qi Yuan.

The Purple-Robed Elder unleashed his most powerful divine art, the Retribution Dragon Hand! The greatest distinction of a Divine Infant cultivator was their ability to manifest divine arts.

Divine arts were the advanced form of spells.

The Divine Infant Elder unleashed a divine art, and with a single move, he could instantly annihilate the ordinary people of a small county.

A massive dragon claw formed above Qi Yuan's head, emitting a force far surpassing that of a Golden Core cultivator.

The dragon claw was sharp and fierce, capable of crushing the bodies of Golden Core cultivators and exploding their Golden Cores.

Qi Yuan also felt a strong sense of threat.

"As expected, my Dao Foundation Establishment power isn't the strongest if I can't defeat that big guy.

Even a Divine Infant Elder can threaten me!"

Qi Yuan didn't think too much and faced the challenge head-on.

The power of the Dao Foundation Establishment seemed to be restricted.

But the part that was revealed was still impressive.

Slash!

The Retribution Dragon Hand clashed with Qi Yuan's kitchen knife.

However, the surrounding environment didn't change much.

Upon reaching the Divine Infant Realm, one could completely control their power, and with a single strike, they wouldn't waste any energy or damage the environment.

All the power was directed at the opponent.

The kitchen knife and the Retribution Dragon Hand clashed, neither gaining the upper hand.

The Purple-Robed Elder's face revealed a horrified look. "What kind of monster are you?"

Even a powerful Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't directly withstand a Divine Infant's attack.

His Divine Infant was genuine, but it was still a true Divine Infant.

Two clan Divine Infants had spent their lifespans to transmit their techniques to him, and a Purple Mansion cultivator had even sent an imperial edict to assist him.

Yet, his seemingly all-out divine art had been blocked by his opponent?

"No wonder you're a Divine Infant Elder!" Qi Yuan exclaimed, "With a single strike of the Retribution Dragon Hand, you've exploded my blood vessels!"

This was Qi Yuan's first injury since arriving at the Dragon Heaven Realm.

He now understood the power of the Divine Infant Realm.

The old emperor looked at Qi Yuan, his face revealing doubt. He felt like he hadn't injured Qi Yuan at all.

What exploding blood vessels? He didn't see any.

"My capillaries, how miserable," Qi Yuan waved his hand, showing the old emperor his injury, as if accusing him of a crime.

6◇◇◇Book◇Bar

If he didn't accuse, his capillaries would heal soon.

"You wretch, how dare you humiliate me!" The old emperor was furious.

He thought of his entire life of suppression.

As the Supreme Emperor, he had no power at all!

Great Shang was completely controlled by the three major sects.

He had endured humiliation and shame.

Now, he was even being humiliated by a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He had reached his limit.

He couldn't hold back anymore and roared as he charged towards Qi Yuan!

Qi Yuan wasn't surprised by this.

After suppressing himself his entire life, going crazy before death was nothing.

"I've already tested my strength, so... you've completed your task, and it's time for you to exit the stage."

After testing the power of the Divine Infant Elder, Qi Yuan remained calm.

He could kill him!

After speaking, Qi Yuan opened the small song in the jade slip again.

The Great Shang emperor's journey to the underworld deserved a song.

Holding his kitchen knife, Qi Yuan charged towards the old emperor.

"Behold, the Radiant Sword!"

Qi Yuan chose the Radiant Sword from among the many secret techniques, feeling it was the most appropriate to send the old emperor on his way.

The holy Radiant Sword, disguised by endless essence, shone with endless brilliance.

This sword, emitted from the kitchen knife, directly struck the old emperor's body.

Boom!

The old emperor fell from the sky, and his vitality began to decline at that moment.

From the early Divine Infant Realm to the late Golden Core Realm, to the mid-Golden Core Realm, and finally to the late Foundation Establishment Realm, he had reached his limit.

His aged face was filled with deathly energy, and as he looked at Qi Yuan, his eyes revealed a look of unwillingness. "If I had your background, why would I have fallen so low?

Why is this mortal world so unfair?

You, a mere youth, enjoy a life of luxury and honor, protected by your teachers, with a smooth path ahead. Even a spoiled young master like you can become a Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator."

Why, why!"

He had endured humiliation and never wavered, yet this was his tragic end.

He was not satisfied.

Qi Yuan looked at the old emperor, his voice calm as he said, "I don't know your past, and I won't judge you. I'm just here to send you off to the underworld!"

The old emperor coughed, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. "So, you're also plotting to take over the Dragon Heaven Realm, huh? Well, I failed. In just one hour, that crystal coffin will be teleported away!

If I can't have it, neither can you!"

As the old emperor spoke, his neck twisted, and he died right there, his face filled with dissatisfaction.

The emperor of a vast empire died silently in this place.

Qi Yuan stood beside the old emperor, holding a kitchen knife, his thoughts unknown.

"What a pity, he didn't even have any good items on him, not even a soul-enhancing technique."

Qi Yuan's heart sank with disappointment.

After expending so much effort to slay the Old Emperor, he had gained nothing.

The only realization was an understanding of his own strength and its limitations.

"The Black Chicken Old Demon is in the late Divine Infancy stage, it seems a bit tricky!" Qi Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

The Black Chicken Old Demon remained a looming presence, like a giant rock hanging over his head.

He blamed the grandmaster for not allowing him to fully complete the Heavenly Way Foundation Establishment.

Otherwise, if the Ice Mountain Tyrantess was to be believed, a true Heavenly Way Foundation Establishment would have the power to manifest spells with words.

Killing the Black Chicken Old Demon would be as simple as slaughtering a chicken.

After about a hundred breaths, a streak of light descended from the sky.

Broken Wolf, dressed in white, appeared not far from Qi Yuan, his face lit with excitement. "From afar, I sensed the aura of the Radiant Sword, and now I understand. You're from the Divine Flower Society."

Qi Yuan, who had been disheartened, brightened at the sight of Broken Wolf. "White Moonlight, you've finally arrived."

Broken Wolf glanced at the corpse beside Qi Yuan, a mocking smile on his lips. "Killing a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and then displaying the Radiant Sword. Your strength is truly limited.

Today, I'll show you what a true Radiant Sword is!"

Qi Yuan's battle with the old emperor had not wasted a shred of spiritual power. The only traces of combat here were the remnants of Qi Yuan's previous eradication of the outpost.

Broken Wolf had no idea that the corpse was that of a Divine Infancy.

"Dying under the Radiant Sword is your honor!"

As one of the top 700 on the Eastern Land Young Talents List, Broken Wolf's Radiant Sword was a more advanced version than Qi Yuan's.

Qi Yuan's eyes widened as he looked at Broken Wolf. "So, this is the advanced version of the Radiant Sword? It will be mine!"

"As Lu Fei said, you're a fool.

Do you think I'm some Zhu Lian Hua?" On his way here, Broken Wolf had encountered two members of the Desire Door Sect, whom he effortlessly slew.

Through Lu Fei, he learned the method to enter the Coffin Burial Site and discovered more information.

For instance, the crazed Qi Yuan was at the Coffin Burial Site.

Broken Wolf was unaware that Lu Fei, before her death, had caused trouble, and even if he knew, he wouldn't have cared.

His arrogance as one of the Eastern Land's elite made him dismiss the so-called talents of the Great Shang Kingdom.

The Radiant Sword is unleashed!

Broken Wolf's entire body exuded a sacred aura.

"This sword can slay Essence Core cultivators!"

Broken Wolf spoke, and a massive sword of light emerged.

He wanted to show the people of this small place what a true genius was.

The enormous sword of light descended from the sky, aiming straight for Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan shook his head at the sight. "Using the Radiant Sword to slay an Essence Core cultivator is too wasteful.

To kill you, I need neither a knife nor a sword. A snap of my fingers will suffice."

Qi Yuan extended his hand, his thumb pressing against his middle finger.

Snap! His middle finger snapped, colliding with the terrifying sword of light.

Crack!

The powerful sword of light, capable of slaying Essence Core cultivators, shattered instantly.

The spiritual power gathered in that finger also struck Broken Wolf's head.

Smash! Broken Wolf's heart meridian shattered along with the sword of light, his face filled with disbelief. He heard a murmur in his ear.

"There are hundreds of Essence Core cultivators beneath your feet."

"The one I just slew with the Radiant Sword was a Divine Infancy."

"You're my White Moonlight, and I can't bear to use a knife or sword on you. I can only gently give you a... brain bash."

"Am I gentle enough today?"

"Oh, I used too much force. The brain bash killed White Moonlight."

Qi Yuan's face held a smile as he slowly approached Broken Wolf.

Disbelief filled Broken Wolf's face, and he wanted to speak, but no words came out.

He muttered to himself, "Madman."

His aura vanished in an instant.

Qi Yuan bent down, ready to collect his spoils of war.

"Not bad, not bad. Many spirit stones."

After slaying the dead emperor and the others.

Aside from the Soul Remembrance Flower, Qi Yuan had gained nothing.

Now, from White Moonlight, he finally acquired something.

"White Moonlight is indeed White Moonlight, so considerate. Coming to see me and bringing me so many gifts, how can I not be embarrassed?"

Qi Yuan searched through Broken Wolf's storage bag.

He discovered seven Jade Level Talisman Arts, two Profound Level Spell Arts, and an advanced version of the Radiant Sword.

"I've hit the jackpot!" Qi Yuan felt that his trip to the Dragon Heaven Realm was truly worthwhile.

With so many techniques, if he could fully digest them, his eyes would perceive more information when viewing cultivation techniques.

His Qi Yuan Canon could also progress further.

"With the Soul Remembrance Flower, I've truly hit the jackpot!"

The Soul Remembrance Flower could increase the chances of entering the second game.

"Alright, the Dragon Heaven Realm is thoroughly cleared. It's time to leave."

"Wait, the crystal coffin the old emperor was plotting for, I should check it out."

"What if it's filled with Soul Remembrance Flowers? That would be a triple blessing!"
