Cultivation: I Have a Skill Level Panel

The sky churned with clouds as black as ink. Violent gales raged, and the world itself trembled, heralding the arrival of a terrifying presence.

Gu Yun’s eyes, crackling with Thunder Arcs, pierced through the void to lock onto a black-robed figure fleeing at extreme speed across the distant heavens.

"You will die today, without a doubt!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Yun stepped forward, shattering the void. His movements were as agile as a wandering dragon and as swift as thunder. At his ultimate speed, he crossed five thousand li in a single instant, his figure vanishing in a flash!!

At this moment, Feng Xiu was streaking across the sky like a dark meteor, emitting sonic booms of Powerful Qi. He had unleashed an unprecedented escape velocity and didn’t dare to pause for even a moment, mustering every ounce of strength he had to flee for his life.

He had only been able to fight his opponent to a standstill after using the Dark God Sacrifice to boost his strength to the Tongxuan Realm Late Stage. That was when he made his decision.

’If I stay and fight him to the death, I’ll be a dead man once the power from the Dark God Sacrifice fades!’

’But if I run, there’s at least a sliver of hope!’

’This is my tribulation,’ Feng Xiu thought. ’If I can’t overcome this, I’m afraid I will truly perish. But who could have known I’d run into such a monstrous genius? He actually endured the Ninety-nine Celestial Tribulation! Such Heaven-Defying talent... it’s simply unheard of!!’

Feeling the murderous pursuit from behind, a glint flashed in Feng Xiu’s eyes. ’If I can just make it back to the Celestial Refining Demon Sect, he won’t be able to touch me, no matter how great his Heaven-Reaching power is!’ With this thought, Feng Xiu pushed his speed even faster!!

"WHOOSH!!"

His ultimate speed seemed to warp space itself. He crossed 6,500 li in an instant, a dark meteor streaking through the Void Celestial heavens, moving at an incredible velocity!!

"Hm?!"

"He got even faster!"

High in the sky, a look of shock appeared on Gu Yun’s face as he tore through space like a bolt of lightning.

’This guy can really run. But the more you run, the more thrilling this chase becomes!’

A fanatical gleam flashed in Gu Yun’s eyes!

He pushed his Three Thousand Roaming Dragon Steps to the absolute limit. His body became like a wandering dragon skimming across the world, as fast as lightning darting across the heavens. In a single instant, his figure crossed another 5,500 li, his speed becoming utterly extreme!!

...

「At this time, far away in Xingjian City.」

A pavilion stood in the central district, soaring into the clouds and emitting a faint, immortal glow. Its beams were carved, its rafters painted, with green tiles and red ridges stacked in layers of upturned eaves. It resembled a mighty dragon coiled in place, exuding an endless, imposing majesty!

Inside the immortal pavilion, within a quiet and elegant room filled with the scent of antiquity, two figures stood side-by-side before a window that offered a panoramic view of the vast and boundless Xingjian City, which stretched for over ten thousand li.

One of them was a young man in a white robe, his posture as straight as a pine tree. His face was handsome, with sword-like brows and eyes like stars—so deep they resembled the cosmos, seemingly capable of piercing through all things in heaven and earth. His body contained an immeasurably vast reserve of Magical Power, and he radiated a terrifying aura as he stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the distant sky.

"Brother Shen, regarding the Demon Fiends’ hiding place, if I’m not mistaken, it is most likely hidden in the Silent Extinction Abyss," Ye Xuantian said, his voice steady.

"The Silent Extinction Abyss?" Shen Qing asked with a hint of confusion.

"That’s right. The Silent Extinction Abyss is located at the juncture of the Three Great Continents of the South Wilderness. It is rife with dark qi, desolate, and uninhabited. The terrain is concealed and the area is vast, making it extremely suitable for those Demon Fiends to hide," Ye Xuantian said gravely. "Moreover, since it’s at the border of three continents, if those Demon Fiends make a move, the entire Southern Wilderness Domain will be affected!"

"It’s that serious?!

Those damnable Demon Fiends! Grandmaster Shen will slaughter every last one of you!!" A murderous glint flashed in Shen Qing’s eyes, causing the very void around him to twist.

"How about this, Brother Ye. After I inform my Sect,

we’ll head to the Silent Extinction Abyss first. What do you think?" Shen Qing then proposed.

"Alright."

As soon as Ye Xuantian’s voice fell,

Shen Qing waved his hand, took out a faintly glowing Communication Talisman, and channeled a message into it.

Then, the two of them vanished from the spot in an instant.

...

The sky was a vast azure, with pale clouds drifting by like foals at play.

"WHOOSH!"

"WHOOSH!"

Two experts emitting terrifying auras shot through the sky, one pursuing the other, whistling through the air at extreme speed.

"Sir!

You’ve chased me for 200,000 li! Why won’t you stop?!" Feng Xiu roared in fury.

Two hundred thousand li! It’s been a full 200,000 li from the Qingyuan Mountain Range to here!

The power from his Dark God Sacrifice was already fading from its peak. If he couldn’t reach the Celestial Refining Demon Sect before his strength dropped back to his original Realm, he would be unable to escape death.

Yet he was still hundreds of thousands of li away from the Celestial Refining Demon Sect. At this rate, his death seemed certain!

"Wouldn’t a quick death be better? Why make things so hard on yourself by fleeing so pathetically?"

Gu Yun tailed him closely, the corners of his mouth curling into a grin that looked like a smile from the Death God.

’Looks like he’s at the end of his rope,’ Gu Yun thought. ’Two hundred thousand li... even I have to admit that’s a bit far. But if I can kill him, it’ll all be worth it!’

At that thought, a blade-like glint flashed in Gu Yun’s eyes. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed an incredibly tyrannical Sword Qi. A Heaven-Reaching Sword Intent permeated the sky, carrying an intensely sharp Divine Power as it shot straight toward Feng Xiu!

"Damn it!"

Feng Xiu felt the ultimate Sword Intent permeating the heavens behind him, slashing toward him at incredible speed. He couldn’t help but curse inwardly. Then, the boundless Magical Power in his body surged like a coiled dragon as a terrifying Dao Rhythm enveloped him. He gathered layers of deep, dark Magical Power in his palm and blasted it directly behind him!

A jet-black and profound Palm Seal, vast enough to blot out the sky, rose into the air. It crushed the space before it as it instantly slammed into the massive Sword Qi that filled the heavens!
