Cultivation: I Have a Skill Level Panel

Suddenly,

A flash of sword light blazed between heaven and earth, like a river of stars cascading down, its brilliant radiance illuminating the dim world.

The sharp sword gleam tore through layers of space, slashing down violently at the enormous dark shadow beneath the sea’s surface.

SHIING!

As the razor-sharp sword light passed, Sword Qi imbued with powerful Sword Momentum spread out, seemingly cleaving the very void in two.

The next moment,

Beneath the gloomy sky, the churning, roiling seawater suddenly split apart.

It tore open a gash hundreds of feet long. A vast expanse of seawater was sliced as smooth as a mirror by the incomparably sharp Sword Qi, which was so infused with Sword Momentum that the gash could not close for a long time!

Just then, crimson blood surged up from the sea, staining the surroundings a stark red. And as the terrifying Sword Momentum gradually faded,

The colossal, hundred-foot-long body of an octopus, like a small hill, slowly rose to the surface.

At the same time,

The figure in the sky above was as swift as lightning, vanishing in a flash of thunderous light in the blink of an eye.

Soon,

Gu Yun flew at extreme speed, arriving at the Purple Bright Sea Region.

He hovered in mid-air, his gaze fixed on the vast, boundless, sapphire-blue sea before him. A sudden sea breeze swept by, kicking up rolling waves.

The wind blew, whitecaps rolled like light smoke, and ten thousand acres of waves shook the sky.

"To hunt down and kill a single Sea Beast Demon Fiend in such a vast sea region... it’s truly not easy!"

Gu Yun couldn’t help but sigh as he looked out over the expansive sea region.

Despite this, Gu Yun continued to fly through the air at a steady pace, his Spiritual Sense extending over twenty li in all directions, scanning like radar as he flew.

He eventually realized that this painstaking effort was like looking for a needle in a haystack—incredibly time-consuming and inefficient.

’I should check the island that Sea Beast Demon Fiend attacked before,’ Gu Yun thought with another sigh.

With that, he sped off toward the distance.

...

Meanwhile,

over the vast and boundless Purple Bright Sea Region,

a young Cultivator had run into Gu Yuan and his companion. Without a word of nonsense, the young Cultivator attacked the moment he saw Gu Yuan, who was wearing the robes of the Ancient Nether Sect and was quite ’famous’.

The young Cultivator wore a blue robe. His face was plain, but his eyes were incredibly sharp. He was a prodigy of the Canglan Sect, and his name was Zhao Huaiyin.

"Gu Yuan! Go to hell!"

Zhao Huaiyin’s Cultivation at the True Martial Realm Fifth Layer Early Stage erupted completely. The space around him seemed to ripple faintly like water.

Immediately after, Zhao Huaiyin’s palm formed an incredibly profound seal. As he thrust it through the air, it instantly commanded the space for hundreds of feet around, transforming it into a boundless, rushing tidal current.

Immense True Essence Power gathered. The hundred-foot-wide Profound Mysterious Palm Seal, seemingly backed by the force of tens of thousands of tons of seawater, looked powerful enough to topple mountains and rivers as it ruthlessly shot toward Gu Yuan and his companion!

"You’re courting death!"

Gu Yuan barked coldly, his eyes deep. He took a step forward, and his Cultivation at the True Martial Realm Fifth Layer Peak erupted. An aura as deep as the abyssal sea radiated from him, surging in all directions like a flood!

A sky full of purple flames erupted around him, their terrifying heat searing the heavens and seemingly twisting the very void.

The hundreds of feet of flames instantly coalesced into a giant fire dragon that could devour the firmament. Swift as thunder, it tore through space and lunged viciously at the Profound Mysterious Palm Seal!

BOOM!

The two powerful streams of True Yuan collided, erupting in a blinding light that illuminated the surroundings. A deafening roar thundered across the world.

The resulting storm of True Yuan rolled outwards with the force of toppling mountains and overturning seas, whipping the ocean below into a frenzy.

The purple fire dragon and the Profound Mysterious Palm Seal intertwined.

Then, the purple dragon violently tore the Palm Seal apart. The seal shattered in an instant, and the dragon, now like a bolt of purple lightning, ripped through layers of space and charged ruthlessly toward Zhao Huaiyin!

Zhao Huaiyin’s expression was grave. He immediately channeled his True Yuan, instantly gathering the boundless, immense power of the sea. As light flashed, his True Yuan pulsed outwards,

resisting the massive purple fire dragon’s assault!

BOOM!

The powerful aftershock rolled outwards. While Zhao Huaiyin was busy defending with his condensed Water True Essence,

Gu Yuan had already vanished from above. He reappeared behind Zhao Huaiyin, his gaze icy, and threw a punch that whistled through the air, brimming with immense power.

His fist, wrapped in terrifying purple-flame True Yuan, burned the void itself and blazed with a dazzling light as it slammed violently toward Zhao Huaiyin.

Zhao Huaiyin felt a terrifying, searing heat on his back.

’Not good!’

He instantly condensed a True Essence Water Shield on his back, trying to block the Flame Fist that descended like a suppressing volcano.

BANG!

However, the True Essence Water Shield that Zhao Huaiyin had just condensed was instantly shattered by the terrifying purple Flame Fist that seemed to burn the very void.

It failed to hold for even a moment before shattering into pieces.

BOOM!

The clothes on Zhao Huaiyin’s back were burned away by the fierce flames, revealing the Defensive Spiritual Armor underneath, which pulsed with a faint blue glow.

If he hadn’t been wearing this Low Grade Spiritual Armor, that single blow would have likely pierced straight through his body.

Even so, Zhao Huaiyin still took the brunt of the monstrous fist’s power and was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing into an island over a thousand feet away.

BANG!

The violent impact instantly shattered the rocks on the island, kicking up a cloud of dust and smoke!

Blood trickled from the corner of Zhao Huaiyin’s mouth. The back of his upper robes had been burned away, revealing a terrifying Fist Seal. He was in a miserable state.

If not for his Defensive Spiritual Armor, he would have been completely finished!

"Cough, cough... PTAH!"

Zhao Huaiyin struggled to his feet, only to spit out another mouthful of blood, his face pale.

Over a thousand feet away, Gu Yuan took a single step forward, leaving an afterimage behind. In an instant, he crossed the thousand-foot distance with the speed of a lightning bolt.

From a distance, it looked like a streak of purple light that vanished in a flash. When he reappeared, he was hovering in the air above the island where Zhao Huaiyin had crashed.

Gu Yuan gazed down coldly at Zhao Huaiyin, who was lying amidst the shattered rocks below.

Without a word of nonsense, purple flames ignited in the air around him, emitting an incredibly terrifying aura that seemed to warp the very void.

He threw a punch. The overwhelming purple flames formed a gigantic fire fist, like a meteor falling from the heavens. It seared through the void as it descended, aiming to utterly annihilate Zhao Huaiyin!

Zhao Huaiyin clenched his jaw, watching the massive fire fist descend upon him, radiating scorching heat like a meteor crashing to earth.

"Gu Yuan, I’ll kill you!" Zhao Huaiyin roared.

With a wave of his hand, an Elixir radiating a misty, blood-red light appeared in his palm. He immediately swallowed it.

Immediately after, an overwhelming aura erupted from within him. A monstrous blood-red light shot toward the heavens, like a crimson pillar piercing the sky.

It was like a volcano, suppressed for a thousand years, finally erupting with unbelievably terrifying energy. For hundreds of feet around, the very void trembled like ripples on water.

Even the rock formations around Zhao Huaiyin were churned and shattered by the storm of energy.

They broke into fine pebbles that scattered in all directions. Nearby towering trees bent under the fierce wind, their leaves rustling loudly.
