However, very few people would use mid-grade spirit stones for exchange, which means that generally, one mid-grade spirit stone is worth more low-grade spirit stones.

The abundant spiritual power in Ye Qingfeng’s Void Cauldron Immortal Technique slowly poured into his body. He was already at the peak of the Peak War Emperor, just one step shy of a breakthrough.

Recovering to the War Emperor realm, at this critical juncture, if interrupted, would be extremely dangerous.

Ye Qingfeng should have found a very safe place, but now he couldn’t wait any longer.

He forcibly took a mid-grade spirit stone, suffered a backlash, and had already sustained serious injuries, making it difficult to continue long-distance flight. As long as Ye Qingfeng could break through, this backlash would naturally be easily healed.

Absorbing, spiritual power continued to pour into Ye Qingfeng’s body, the Void Cauldron Immortal Technique was operating frantically, and Ye Qingfeng was in a state of extreme etherealness.

"About to break through!"

Ye Qingfeng concentrated, fully attentive, as spiritual power surged and prepared to breach this final barrier.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a long rainbow suddenly lit up on the horizon, and immediately, a figure landed on this piece of open ground — an elder.

At this moment, Ye Qingfeng’s heart skipped a beat. He was so focused on preparing to breach the barrier that he hadn’t noticed someone flying toward him.

"Hmph! A secular youth breaking into Panwu Land, this should be it!"

The elder snorted coldly, eyes gleaming as he looked at Ye Qingfeng.

This elder was Elder Tong from the Soul Devouring Hall.

Ye Qingfeng’s heart skipped suddenly, he was in the midst of a breakthrough, a moment of extreme urgency, and being forcibly interrupted during a breakthrough could very likely lead to demise.

"Dare to still cultivate here, you must be on the verge of some breakthrough, truly courting death!" Elder Tong looked at Ye Qingfeng, a cold smile on his lips.

His gaze icy, he was in no hurry, walking step by step towards Ye Qingfeng.

"Boy, as long as you hand over the medicine field within Panwu Land and the inheritance of Panwu Land, I will spare your life and let you break through normally, otherwise—" Elder Tong’s eyes grew colder.

Medicine field?

Ye Qingfeng’s heart stirred slightly. That medicine field, he didn’t even know where it went. He had no idea how it disappeared.

He was truly at a critical moment, with no mind to deal with this old man.

Seeing Ye Qingfeng unmoved, Elder Tong immediately flew into a rage, snorted coldly: "Courting death!"

He wasted no more words, moved, and approached Ye Qingfeng, striking with only twenty percent of his strength, yet Elder Tong remained supremely confident.

A young man from the secular, his strength shouldn’t exceed the War General level. Even with just twenty percent of his strength, even a fraction of that would easily crush.

"Clang!"

Elder Tong’s inner strength rushed at Ye Qingfeng, hitting directly on a barrier, but it did no harm at all to this young man.

"What?"

Elder Tong was momentarily stunned, such a method, and by a secular young martial artist? How was this possible?

"Hmph, truly some skill, no wonder you could intrude on Panwu Land and take away the medicine field. But it’s a pity, caught by me, if you don’t hand over the medicine field today, you will surely die!"

Elder Tong’s eyes turned cold, and an intense aura erupted from him, his spiritual power surged, and an endless killing intent bloomed in the air.

"Die!"

At this moment, in mid-air, a gigantic hand of True Yuan suddenly materialized, although just an illusion, it was immensely large, representing a War Emperor warrior’s technique, Heaven and Earth Power.

This hand, condensed from Heaven and Earth Power, was like a towering building, descending from mid-air with a violent howling, crashing down as if to crush the heavens and earth.

"Boom!"

The palm slammed onto Ye Qingfeng’s spiritual power shield, immediately a "crack" was heard, a massive airwave lifted dust into the sky, engulfing Ye Qingfeng’s body.

"Crack!" "Crack!"

The subtle sound of shattering was endless, Elder Tong watched coldly in the dust, with this palm, those below a War Emperor could not withstand.

A mere secular youth, regardless of his methods, was surely doomed!

"What?"

As the dust faded, Elder Tong’s body suddenly shook, staring bewildered at the young man still sitting cross-legged at the dust’s center.

Although the spiritual power shield was broken, the young man was still unharmed!

He, a mid-level War Emperor powerhouse, could not kill a secular youth with that palm strike, Elder Tong’s eyes widened, a look of shock appeared on his old face.

"You, die for me!"

Elder Tong was truly enraged, his body turned into an afterimage, a surge of spiritual power mixed with Heaven and Earth Power ragingly surged, cold killing intent filled the entire space.

This young man, he must kill!

In a blink, Elder Tong was before Ye Qingfeng, delivering a palm strike directly at him. The powerful, dense spiritual power seemed to pause the surrounding air, the sharp whistle turned into a massive vortex, attacking Ye Qingfeng. This strike, a sure-kill blow!

"Old dog!"

At that moment, Ye Qingfeng suddenly opened his eyes, spat out a mouthful of blood.

At the crucial point of his breakthrough, this old man used Heaven and Earth Power to kill, seemingly leaving him unharmed, but actually, he had sustained significant backlash.

Had it been an ordinary martial artist, in such a situation, they would have died from the backlash.

Even Ye Qingfeng was severely injured.

His breakthrough was forcibly interrupted, an anger blazed within Ye Qingfeng. If not for this old bastard, he would have already recovered to the War Emperor realm.

Despite the backlash, Ye Qingfeng still forcefully gathered spiritual power, flames of anger burning in his eyes, and he threw a fierce punch!

"Boom!"

As the fist and palm connected, the earth shook violently, the surrounding mountains trembled slightly, their power was terrifying.

Though Ye Qingfeng hadn’t broken through, he was internally injured, yet absorbed a mid-grade spirit stone, accumulating a massive amount of spiritual power inside, his strength terrifying.

Elder Tong, no need to say more, an Intermediate War Emperor, with a terrifying power enough to crush most secular strongmen.

Their clash was unbelievably terrifying, the resulting waves breaking all surrounding trees, centered around them, like a bomb exploding, leaving not a blade of grass.

"You can withstand my punch, who are you?" Elder Tong’s pupils contracted, staring at Ye Qingfeng, coldly shouting.

His heart filled with shock, he, a mid-level War Emperor powerhouse, and a mere young man blocked his punch.

How is this possible?

Even across the entire Ancient Martial World, people like Kong Ningshuang, Ma Gu, none could possess such formidable strength!
