The Vice Tower Master of the White Night Pavilion, a powerful blade master from the Purple Thunder Blade Sect who had reached the Divine Platform Realm!

Was actually kneeling and begging, terrified beyond measure!

All the heroes present wore looks of shock!

Utter silence!

Even the Fox Emperor froze in mid-air, feeling as though he had fallen into a dream, his eyes dazed!

’That was Chi Hou Great Venerable of the Sun and Moon Pavilion!’

’He possessed a special bloodline and was incredibly powerful in combat!’

’How could he have been killed by a single punch?’

He had made ample preparations for this trip to the Great Xia Dynasty. Not only had he brought the experts from his own race, but he had also invited two Divine Platform Great Venerables to support him.

But he never imagined it would end like this.

In mid-air, the Elder Imperial Tutor stared at Su Bai’s back, his expression one of shock and disbelief.

He slowly uttered three words.

"Dao Palace Realm?"

’In my opinion, only a legendary Daoist Palace Great Power could kill Chi Hou Great Venerable so easily, right?’

’Above the Divine Platform is the Daoist Palace!’

’To forge the body with the Dao and condense the palace with the soul!’

Even the Elder Imperial Tutor, who had cultivated for hundreds of years, had never seen such a person.

Yet, he vaguely recalled that this mysterious Great Venerable...

’Didn’t he just break through to the Divine Platform Realm not long ago?’

’How has he reached the Daoist Palace after just a few days?’

’Such a massive leap in Realm is just too absurd, isn’t it?’

He could not figure out the reason.

It was simply inexplicable.

Watching Su Bai’s advancing figure, the Elder Imperial Tutor furrowed his white brows and slowly shook his head.

He could not see through this person.

Deep within the prison, Longbo Hai murmured to himself.

’Ninth Prince, you are stronger than I. Though your life is not free, you’ve managed to befriend such a powerful Divine Platform Great Venerable!’

’Back in my day, I also made many friends—hundreds of them, even.’

’We called each other brothers, roamed the world together, free and unrestrained!’

’It’s a pity that when it really mattered, not a single one of them showed up to back me!’

’Not a single one...’

Longbo Hai withdrew his Divine Thoughts, bowing his head with a sigh.

He recalled his past and many old memories.

In his youth, he had been full of vigor, with a wide circle of friends, living a wild and carefree life.

It wasn’t until he grew old that he finally understood one truth.

’Quality over quantity when it comes to friends!’

’One true confidant is worth more than a thousand fair-weather friends!’

Lighting a candle, reminiscing about the past...

In the end, it was all just a sigh.

「Outside the Imperial City, on a hill.」

Su Bai took a slow step forward and pointed a finger.

A strand of majestic True Qi, imbued with True Martial Fist Intent, shot out like a bolt of lightning!

Zilei, who was kneeling on the ground, felt his pupils instantly widen!

The True Qi pierced the center of his brow!

His Divine Spirit was torn apart!

A blinding spray of blood blossomed!

He crashed to the ground.

Seeing this, the Fox Emperor clenched his jaw. He transformed into an Eight-tailed Celestial Fox and was just about to flee!

A giant golden hand formed from Divine Thoughts slammed down fiercely from the heavens!

It blotted out the clouds and the moon!

A violent RUMBLE echoed in everyone’s ears!

They strained to open their eyes, but all they could see was dust filling the sky.

And the thick stench of blood that assaulted their nostrils!

When the dust settled, the Fox Emperor, who had been so full of vigor just moments ago, now lay paralyzed in a deep crater, bleeding from his mouth and nose, all eight of his tails severed.

He was on the verge of death!

Then, before anyone could react, the mysterious Great Venerable beckoned with his finger!

All the corpses of the Demon Race, along with the near-dead Fox Emperor in the crater, were gathered to his side!

After that, the man stepped over the dust and strode upon the moonlight.

In an instant...

He vanished into the vast darkness of the night...

The Elder Imperial Tutor witnessed this scene with a smile in his eyes.

’This time, I really bet on the right person!’

...

「East Suburb of Great Xia, Purgatory Demon Cave.」

Layer after layer of dense Demon Qi that had gathered together was instantly shattered by a brilliant golden light.

A figure, carrying a pile of corpses, plunged into it.

The moment he landed, a somewhat ferocious-looking Black Demon Dragon, radiating a sinister Demon Qi, soared through the air toward him!

WHOOSH!

The Demon Dragon flew to the Golden Shadow’s side, circling and dancing with joy, fawning like an obedient puppy wagging its tail!

"Get away!"

Seeing that the Demon Dragon looked like it was about to lick his face clean, Su Bai quickly smacked it on the head.

He found a wide-open space and sat down.

With a wave of his hand, the demon corpses he had brought with him fell in a heap beside him.

On the way, the Fox Emperor had kept struggling, still having the will to resist.

So Su Bai simply smacked it dead with a single slap.

Only then did he feel satisfied.

At this moment, Su Bai’s gaze swept over the pile of demons.

Unlike ordinary criminals, the corpses of Demon Beasts were quite valuable.

That was why Su Bai had taken all these Demon Beast corpses with him.

Because there were too many Demon Beasts to carry and nowhere to go in the short term, Su Bai had come to the Purgatory Demon Cave, where he had left the Demon Dragon to grow.

Among all these corpses, thirteen were from the Sun and Moon Pavilion, and dozens were from the Fox Race.

Almost all of them were Transformed Great Demons above the Innate Realm, and there were even two Demon Venerables at the Divine Platform Realm among them!

The value of these corpses alone was comparable to a mountain of gold.

"A Tiger Demon with 2,500 years of Cultivation!"

"A Fox Demon with 2,000 years of Cultivation!"

"A Wolf Demon with 3,000 years of Cultivation..."

After just a quick count, a look of delight appeared on Su Bai’s face.

’This way, I won’t have to worry about money for a while!’

As for how to turn the corpses into money?

’That’s simple enough.’

’The straightforward way would be to create a Divine Thought Incarnation and just give the corpses to the Elder Imperial Tutor.’

’A slightly more troublesome method would be to use the Disguise Transformation Technique and sell them secretly.’

Su Bai was lost in thought.

Suddenly, he felt something licking his palm!

Su Bai slapped out with his palm on instinct!

Golden light flowed between his knuckles!

Layers of silvery-white True Qi spread out like ripples, creating a series of sonic booms!

Although it was a casual slap, if an ordinary Spirit Transformation expert were hit, even with a tough physical body, they would probably be blown to pieces!

But when it struck the Demon Dragon’s head, it made a sound like metal on stone. A faint golden ripple emerged from the Demon Dragon’s head, neutralizing most of the power!

Even so, the Demon Dragon’s body, which was dozens of feet long, was instantly severed in two, and it lost nearly half of its Demon Power!

"AWOO~"

After reforming its body, the Demon Dragon immediately came before Su Bai and let out a wronged, low growl.

"So it was you, you silly Demon Dragon!"

Su Bai chuckled and cursed playfully.

At the same time, he felt a bit surprised.

’After I left the Demon Dragon here to fend for itself, I didn’t pay it much mind. I never expected that after all this time, the Demon Dragon has already become a Sixth-Level Demon Fiend, and it’s not far from breaking through to the next Realm!’

"You awakened another Divine Technique?"

Through an exchange of Divine Thoughts, Su Bai learned that the Demon Dragon had actually awakened another Divine Technique after advancing in Level!

It was a Sixth-Grade Divine Technique! The Dragon Pattern Shield!

The golden ripple that had just neutralized most of the power from Su Bai’s palm strike was the Demon Dragon activating this Divine Technique!

"Not bad! Not bad at all!"

"Once I’m done sorting through my spoils, I’ll give you a reward!"

Su Bai chuckled, stroking the Demon Dragon’s head.

The Demon Dragon snorted a puff of smoke from its nostrils and huffed and puffed beside Su Bai for a moment.

Then, it spat out a golden ring from its mouth!

"What’s this?"

Su Bai was surprised. He picked it up to take a closer look.

He saw that the ring was not only engraved with golden patterns.

It was also inscribed with a few simple, easy-to-read words.

Little Qiankun Ring!
