"Clang!"

In the Holy Soul Temple’s hall, Mu Xuanshan slammed the teacup hard on the ground, shattering it to pieces.

"Outrageous, simply outrageous! Zhu Sha, that old scoundrel! He doesn’t care about us at all!" Mu Xuanshan’s face twisted with rage, anger blazing.

"Zhu Sha has the support of strong figures from the Holy Realm. Naturally, he won’t care about us, merely using us," Ming Huang said grimly.

"But aside from allying with Zhu Sha, do we have any other options? That old bastard Zhu Sha is sure that we won’t refuse," Leng Moye said through gritted teeth, extremely unwilling.

Tong Tian sighed and said, "Everyone, Zhu Sha seeks an alliance with us. Even if he is using us, it’s helping us through a difficult time. With the help of great figures from the Holy Realm, we can survive. But if it were us, we wouldn’t necessarily seek an alliance with him."

Tong Tian’s words caused Mu Xuanshan and the others to fall silent.

Either form an alliance or wait for death.

Previously, they had submitted to Luo Tianran, recklessly opposing Zhu Sha, not taking him seriously. Now, with no way out, allying with Zhu Sha was a blow to their pride.

Now they find themselves trampled under Zhu Sha’s foot—it was unbearable.

Being the overlord of the Seven Divine Realms, Zhu Sha doesn’t have a good temper.

Zhu Sha doesn’t kill them, instead proposing an alliance, so he can humiliate them and issue orders—more satisfying than killing them.

In the past, Zhu Sha could suppress them; he can still do so now. In short, Zhu Sha wants them to know that no matter when or where, he can always keep them under his foot.

"Everyone, bear it for now. Once those from the Holy Realm deal with Dantong and others, they will naturally leave the Seven Divine Realms. By then, Zhu Sha won’t be a match for us," said the Holy Soul Temple protector.

"The protector is absolutely right. Let’s endure for now and consider it as a retreat for cultivation." Qiuding Peak slightly nodded.

...

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Feng Wuchen had been in retreat for more than two months in the Holy Realm, refining Bailin’s ancient power and Feng Hun Shan’s ancient blood essence.

With this crazy refining process, Feng Wuchen’s cultivation soared by four stars, reaching the Seven-Star God Venerable realm.

With Feng Wuchen’s current cultivation, even facing a Nine-Star God Venerable, he can definitely stand undefeated.

In the outside world, Feng Wuchen’s leap in four stars in just half a month—isn’t this a terrifying speed?

"Congratulations on breaking through to the Seven-Star God Venerable!" the soul spirits of the God Eye and Dragon God Sword echoed.

"Seven-Star God Venerable, not bad, just as I anticipated," Feng Wuchen said with a satisfied smile, stretching leisurely, his bones crackling like firecrackers, extremely comfortable.

Breaking through to the Seven-Star God Venerable, the Undying Golden Body’s realm also improved significantly, making the physical power increasingly terrifying.

However, the advancement of the Undying Golden Body realm remained a mystery, still not reaching the next level, like an endless abyss.

"I wonder how Qingyang and the others are doing. With the help of the Nitian Divine Pearl in half a month, they should have all stepped into the God Venerable realm, right?" Feng Wuchen muttered to himself.

Checking the ancient bloodline, it had indeed strengthened a lot, making Feng Wuchen extremely delighted.

"The bloodline power is nearly comparable to ancient power," Feng Wuchen said joyfully, this was undoubtedly an unexpected surprise.

Though the bloodline power had become much stronger, Feng Wuchen still couldn’t feel the origin power.

"Bailin’s ancient power is supreme divine power, but why did he seal it? Afraid that others might snatch it?" Feng Wuchen wondered, but didn’t dwell on it since it was his now.

Chaos Divine Power, Apocalyptic Divine Power, Eternal Divine Power, Divine Punishment Power, Void Extinction Power, Supreme Divine Power—all six ancient powers resided in Feng Wuchen, yet four ancient powers were still unfound.

With a thought, Feng Wuchen exited the Divine Ring.

"The Holy Realm sent three people this time, with cultivation stronger than Luo Tianran. It seems determined to eliminate Dantong," Feng Wuchen pondered.

"Master, I have something to report. Please come over because of the contract; it’s difficult for us to leave," Feng Wuchen had just exited the Divine Ring when Green-Scaled Soaring Python’s respectful voice echoed.

"Something to report?" Feng Wuchen transmitted his voice to ask.

"News about Divine Fire," Green-Scaled Soaring Python responded.

"News about Divine Fire?" Feng Wuchen’s heart was filled with joy, he immediately transmitted back, "Alright, I’ll be there soon."

Feng Wuchen, although suppressing his aura, was in Beast Spirit Mountain, where fierce beasts were highly sensitive to the scent of humans. Thus, the moment Feng Wuchen exited the Divine Ring, Green-Scaled Soaring Python smelled Feng Wuchen’s scent.

"Ye Jianying, how are Qingyang and the others? Have they broken through to the God Venerable realm?" Feng Wuchen immediately transmitted upon exiting the Divine Ring.

"They’re still in retreat in the cave. Upon emerging, they should all step into the God Venerable realm. This time, they’ve swallowed three Nitian Divine Pearls consecutively; their cultivation improved rapidly and requires considerable time to stabilize," Ye Jianying transmitted back.

"Then let them stay in Beast Spirit Mountain longer. After their realms stabilize, they’ll return to Dragon God Palace," Feng Wuchen transmitted back and then flew towards the deepest part of Beast Spirit Mountain.

"Xiao Xiao has come out of seclusion, Four-Star God Venerable." Feng Wuchen grinned, already sensing Ling Xiaoxiao’s presence.

As Feng Wuchen arrived, he saw Ling Xiaoxiao fiercely beating a Five-Star God Venerable fierce beast, with dozens of God Venerable fierce beasts heavily injured and unable to crawl up.

Surveying the dozens of heavily injured fierce beasts and then watching Ling Xiaoxiao’s fierce beating, Feng Wuchen smiled, "With Xiao Xiao’s current strength, dealing with a Six-Star fierce beast poses no problem. At full power, she can even battle a Seven-Star God Venerable fierce beast. The Ancient Rakshasa Clan’s bloodline is not far inferior to the Dragon God Clan."

"Boom!"

"Buzz!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

With a fierce kick, she sent the massive fierce beast plummeting from the air, erupting with a thunderous crash, causing the earth to shake. The beast was left severely injured and unconscious.

"Done," Ling Xiaoxiao clapped her hands and smiled, her charming eyes then turned to Feng Wuchen.

"Brother Feng, you’ve come out of seclusion? Wow, Seven-Star God Venerable!" Ling Xiaoxiao flashed over.

Ruffling Ling Xiaoxiao’s hair, Feng Wuchen smiled, "Xiao Xiao did well too; without using the Nitian Divine Pearl, you still managed to elevate your cultivation by two stars in such a short time. If you consumed one Nitian Divine Pearl, your cultivation would surpass mine instantly."

"Compared to Brother Feng, my progress is nothing," Ling Xiaoxiao chuckled.

"Your realm is stable now, once we return, use the God Venerable level Nitian Divine Pearl to enhance cultivation. Let’s go," Feng Wuchen said gently, holding Ling Xiaoxiao’s hand and heading deeper inside.

"Brother Feng, where are we going?" Ling Xiaoxiao asked.

"To where you last practiced," Feng Wuchen replied with a light laugh.

"Where I last practiced?" Ling Xiaoxiao blinked, recalling the terrifying fierce beasts in her mind.
