Cultivation: I Have a Skill Level Panel

Wherever the Flaming Blade Light passed, the void itself seemed to burn. It was like a deluge of celestial fire descending from beyond the heavens, its terrifying flames incinerating everything as it slammed into the Silver Devouring Nether Bees within the sky-obscuring silver mist!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The overwhelming Flaming Blade Light incinerated the void wherever it went. The Silver Devouring Nether Bees couldn’t resist for even a moment before being utterly consumed by the terrifying flames, turning to ash that scattered to the winds.

Down below, Chen Wansen was once again awed by Gu Yun’s formidable power. The entire swarm of Silver Devouring Nether Bees had rushed toward Gu Yun, yet it had taken him only a single move to deal with them.

He looked at Gu Yun, suspended in the void with a placid expression and profound eyes, his long hair dancing and his robes fluttering without a breeze.

A look of utter shock and admiration filled his face!

"Brother Xiao, Junior Brother Chen, catch!"

At this, Gu Yun divided the bottled Silver Nether Bee Venom into three portions, then tossed the other two to Xiao Chen and Chen Wansen.

Feeling the small bottle of Silver Nether Bee Venom in their hands, looks of delight appeared on Xiao Chen’s and Chen Wansen’s faces.

The energy contained within this small bottle was simply astonishing, likely enough to allow them to achieve several consecutive breakthroughs.

’To obtain such an incredible Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure... this trip was well worth it.’

"Brother Gu, Brother Chen, we should get moving!" Xiao Chen said, gazing toward a colossal pillar of light in the distance that shot straight into the clouds. Faintly visible within it was the silhouette of a sprawling palace complex.

At his words, the other two nodded. The trio then transformed into streaks of light and shot off in that direction.

...

On a vast grassland, a pillar of light surging into the sky had undoubtedly attracted the attention of everyone in the Supreme Secret Realm.

Behind the colossal pillar of light stood a sprawling, magnificent palace complex.

At this moment,

The vast grassland was already a sea of people.

Yet no one had entered. This was because a massive light barrier from an Array enveloped the entire palace complex, and it was impossible for any single person to break through it.

"Gasp! That’s Pei Tianqi, the prodigy ranked twentieth on the Hidden Dragon List!"

"Holy crap, even Xu Pengfei, who’s ranked eighteenth, is here!"

"I may not be on the Hidden Dragon List, but this old heart still beats with youthful fire!"

"They can suppress someone at the Spiritual Martial Realm with a mere flip of the hand!"

A long-bearded elder at the True Martial Realm remarked, stroking his whiskers.

"What’s there to get worked up about, you old coot!"

"How could we possibly compare ourselves to the prodigies on the Hidden Dragon List? All I can do in this life is look up to them in awe."

A cultivator with a scholarly appearance, dressed in white and holding a folding fan, chimed in.

By now, Gu Yun and his party had also traveled across mountains and seas to arrive at the vast grassland. Ahead of them, the light barrier enveloping the palace blocked everyone’s path.

「Not long after.」

The number of people here gradually increased, making some of the cultivators grow restless. After all, every new arrival meant the competition would be that much fiercer.

Just as some cultivators were getting agitated,

Xu Pengfei, dressed in a black brocade robe, rose high into the air and shouted to the crowd, "Fellow Daoists! I believe we all came here to enter these palace ruins. However, the Array Restriction is powerful, and no single person can break it."

"But if we gather our strength and attack together, we might just have a chance to shatter this barrier!"

"At that time, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the Cultivation and Martial Techniques within...

will belong to the ’worthy’!"

"Fellow Daoists, what do you think?"

A middle-aged cultivator spoke up. "That makes sense! If we don’t take the initiative, we’re just wasting our time waiting here!"

"Exactly, exactly!"

This call to action, which served everyone’s mutual interest, clearly resonated with the crowd of cultivators.

The cultivators all roared in agreement.

Next,

Led by the prodigies from the Hidden Dragon List, thousands of cultivators gathered and launched a unified attack. The light barrier above the palace was instantly bombarded with terrifying True Yuan, and a continuous roar of explosions echoed through the heavens and earth!

Under the relentless bombardment of True Yuan, the light barrier trembled violently before finally shattering with a deafening crash, its fragments scattering across the sky.

The protective Array had been broken. For a moment, everyone was stunned.

’Such a terrifying Array... and we actually broke it just like that?!’

Then, with a great roar, the True Martial Realm cultivators transformed into streaks of light and surged inside.

"Get the hell out of my way! Don’t block me!"

A bald, burly cultivator roared at the one in front of him.

But the cultivator ahead of him simply made a quick hand seal, condensing several spheres of terrifying True Essence Power in the air and blasting them backward.

He then executed an Escape Technique, his speed increasing even more.

"Pathetic little tricks!"

The bald, burly cultivator behind him sneered. He clenched his fist, enveloping it in True Yuan, and punched. The attack whistled through the air with Mountain-Breaking and Mountain-Suppressing force, smashing into the spheres of True Essence Energy.

BANG!

The terrifying aftershock blasted outwards, and as the energy dissipated,

"Son of a bitch! You’d better hope I don’t run into you again!"

"Or I’ll make you taste my Great Mighty Celestial Dragon!"

Seeing that the cultivator who attacked him had long since vanished, the bald, burly man let out an enraged roar. He then shot toward the palace ahead, leaving a trail of afterimages in his wake.

And that was one of the friendlier exchanges.

The scene was utterly chaotic. In some of the smaller palaces nearby, cultivators were already coming to blows over treasures, the explosions from their battles shaking the very air.

Elsewhere, a white-robed Sword Cultivator and a cultivator in a Daoist robe, both at the True Martial Realm Fourth Layer, were locked in a fierce battle over a precious Heaven and Earth Spiritual Medicine.

The white-robed Sword Cultivator’s longsword seemed indestructible. It suddenly tore through the air like a meteor, streaking across the void as it thrust toward the other cultivator.

The cultivator in the Daoist robe, however, remained calm in the face of danger, his expression unchanged. With a wave of his hand, light flared, and a golden Talisman appeared in his palm.

It shone with a brilliant golden light, transforming into an incredibly solid golden barrier.

CLANG!

The white-robed Sword Cultivator’s longsword struck the golden barrier, instantly producing the sharp sound of clashing metal!

Immediately following, a terrifying force vibrated through the void, causing space itself to ripple like a wave. In an instant, it erupted into a storm that swept across the heavens and earth!

"Now, die for this Daoist Master!"

Amidst the standoff, the cultivator in the Daoist robe abruptly formed a hand seal. Boundless flames erupted in the void, coalescing into several fire Flood Dragons dozens of yards long. They formed a pincer attack, burning through the layers of space as they charged the Sword Cultivator!

"A mere Flame Flood Dragon Technique? Hardly worth mentioning!"

The Sword Cultivator simply sneered. A gleam of sword light flashed in his eyes, radiating a razor-sharp aura.

He swung his blade several times, unleashing streams of Sword Qi imbued with Sword Momentum. The Sword Qi soared into the air like meteors streaking across the sky, then slashed down violently at the fiery Flood Dragons!

BOOM!

The sharp Sword Qi instantly collided with the fiery Flood Dragons, triggering a massive explosion. The surrounding void seemed to be shredded by the Sword Qi and incinerated by the flames.

The terrifying aftershock slammed into the ground, instantly ripping jagged cracks across the hard floor!
