108: Within the secret realm lies an ancient medicinal garden!

At this moment, Ying Chengju was like a Demonic Lord who had walked out from ancient times.

That incomparably overbearing Aura made the entire world tremble!

The ground beneath his feet couldn't withstand this pressure, cracking inch by inch, forming numerous fissures!

The surrounding Cultivators were pushed back repeatedly by this Aura, their faces pale, their eyes filled with terror.

"Is...is this the Seventh Prince's true strength?"

"It's terrifying! Just his Aura makes it hard for me to breathe!"

"That man in green robes is in real trouble now."

Hidden in the crowd, an ordinary-looking elderly man in gray robes with a restrained presence.

At this moment, a sharp glint flashed in his cloudy eyes.

This person was precisely Wandering Cultivator Lingxi, a well-known Loose Cultivator mighty figure in Xinghai Prefecture.

He looked at Ying Chengju, whose Aura was soaring to the heavens, and shook his head slightly.

"The Hegemon Body is strong, but it's too volatile, ultimately a lesser path."

Immediately, his gaze turned to Chen Xu.

A deep interest appeared in his eyes.

"It's this young man...calm and composed, facing the might of the Hegemon Body, yet showing no change in expression."

"Interesting, truly interesting..."

Just as everyone's hearts were greatly shaken,

Ying Chengju moved!

He stomped his right foot fiercely on the ground!

Rumble!

The entire valley shook violently.

The ground beneath his feet directly collapsed, forming a giant pit several zhang deep!

And his figure, using this terrifying recoil force, transformed into a bolt of lightning, instantly appearing before Chen Xu!

No Divine Ability!

No Magic Treasure!

It was still a simple, straightforward punch!

But this punch was completely different from before!

As this punch was thrown, the space in front exploded with crackling sounds!

Visibly, the air in front was forcefully compressed and twisted.

Forming a visible white Qi wave!

Before the punch even arrived, that terrifying punch pressure, capable of crushing everything,

had already caused the ground beneath Chen Xu's feet to sink inch by inch!

This punch gathered all the power of Ying Chengju's Innate Hegemon Body!

He wanted to use his most proud Physical Body to smash this ant who dared to challenge him into dust!

However, facing this earth-shattering full-power strike,

Chen Xu's face remained utterly calm.

He didn't even use his myriad ages azure cloud sword.

He just calmly watched the golden fist rapidly enlarging in his pupils.

Slowly, he raised his right fist.

Bare-handed!

He actually intended to directly confront the Innate Hegemon Body with his Physical Body?!

"He's crazy! He must be crazy!"

"He actually wants to compare his Physical Body with the Seventh Prince's Hegemon Body? Isn't that seeking death?"

"A mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating himself!"

Everyone who saw this scene simultaneously had the same thought.

In their view, Chen Xu's action was no different from suicide.

Ying Chengju's face, moreover, revealed a sneer.

"Fool! this prince will let you see what true power is!"

Chen Xu ignored everyone's thoughts.

The moment he raised his fist,

within his Dantian Qi Sea,

that Primordial Chaos Nascent Soul suddenly opened its eyes!

Buzz!

A stream of Primordial Violet Qi, flowing along his Meridians,

instantly circulated throughout his entire Physical Body!

In that instant, Chen Xu's entire Physical Body underwent a world-shattering transformation!

His bones seemed to have transformed into purple divine crystals, indestructible!

His flesh and blood seemed to contain the power of stars, heavy as mountains!

Every inch of his skin flowed with profound Dao rhythm, impervious to all laws!

At this moment, his Physical Body was no longer mortal flesh.

But a true Dao Body!

A never-before-felt sense of absolute power

filled Chen Xu's entire Physical Body.

He met the incoming golden fist

with an ordinary, unremarkable punch!

However, when this punch collided with Ying Chengju's incomparably overbearing golden Hegemon Fist,

the moment they clashed!

Time seemed to stand still for an instant.

Immediately after!

Boom!!!!!!

A terrifying roar, as if it could tear one's eardrums and silence the heavens and earth,

exploded!

Centered on the point where their fists met,

a visible circular shockwave, like a tsunami,

瘋狂擴散！

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Wherever the shockwave passed, the ground was easily ripped apart layer by layer,

and then turned into flying dust!

Those Cultivators who were close by, without even time to utter a word, had their protective Spiritual Qi instantly shattered, and their entire bodies were sent flying backward like kites with broken strings.

Those people spewed blood in mid-air, their fates unknown!

Even those Nascent Soul Cultivators changed their expressions drastically, hastily conjuring their strongest defensive Magic Treasures, resisting with all their might.

Their figures were still shaken back repeatedly, their Qi and blood churning!

The entire valley, under this single strike,

was actually forcibly expanded by a circle!

Smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring the sky!

Everyone's gaze was fixed on the center of the smoke and dust!

The result, what was it?!

Was that reckless man in green robes already smashed to bits?

The next second.

A figure, like a cannonball fired from a barrel,

shot backward from the thick smoke and dust!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

That figure crashed through three small mountains in a row before finally stopping its retreat.

It heavily slammed into the ground.

Plowing a terrifying gully a hundred zhang long into the ground!

It was Ying Chengju!

The Seventh Prince at this moment was in an extremely sorry state!

The dragon-patterned profound armor he wore, the right arm portion, was actually covered in cracks.

Almost completely ruined!

His proud golden fist, at this moment, was slightly fractured!

"Pfft!!"

Ying Chengju felt the injuries within his body.

A large mouthful of essence blood violently spurted out.

Visibly, at this moment, the arrogance he had before was completely gone from his face.

Only a look of horror remained.

He lost!

His Innate Hegemon Body, which he was so proud of and had always been invincible!

Was utterly defeated in a clash of pure Physical Body strength with the opponent!

How is this possible?!

How could there be a Physical Body in this world more terrifying than his Innate Hegemon Body?!

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

Another figure appeared before everyone's eyes.

It was Chen Xu.

He still stood in his original spot, the ground beneath him long since turned into an abyss.

But he remained motionless, as steady as a mountain.

His green robes were spotless.

Then, under everyone's gaze...he slowly retracted his fist, placed it behind his back, his expression as indifferent as ever.

At this moment.

An invisible Aura, centered on him, enveloped the entire scene.

It was a dominance far surpassing Ying Chengju's!

An even more heart-pounding pressure!

It was the invincible momentum stemming from absolute power!

The entire scene was dead silent!

The surviving Cultivators stared at Chen Xu as if they had seen a ghost, their eyes unblinking.

Their minds were blank!

Human Vicious Beast!

Only these four words remained in their minds!

What the hell...this guy, his Physical Body strength, is actually this terrifying?!

Having landed a blow, Chen Xu did not pursue.

He stood proudly, his Aura steady, his gaze calmly fixed on Ying Chengju in the distance.

"What? Not convinced...?"

The next moment, Chen Xu spoke again.

As soon as these words came out, Ying Chengju's face instantly flushed red.

His chest was almost filled with shame and indignation!

"I don't believe it!!"

Ying Chengju struggled to stand up, disheveled, looking like a madman.

"I am an Innate Hegemon Body! The Seventh Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty! How could I possibly lose to an unknown nobody like you!!"

Clearly, he could not accept that he had lost to such a person.

He wanted to fight again.

Meanwhile, Wandering Cultivator Lingxi, hidden in the crowd, looked at the figure in green robes, his eyelids twitching wildly!

"The Dao of Grandmist! It's the power of the Dao of Grandmist!"

The next moment, he muttered to himself, his heart pounding.

"This person's Physical Body can actually be blessed by Primordial Violet Qi?"

"This person...who exactly is this person?! When did such a Prodigy appear in Xinghai Prefecture?!"

A monstrous wave surged in Wandering Cultivator Lingxi's heart.

As a Loose Cultivator who had traveled countless great prefectures...his knowledge.

Naturally, it was not comparable to others.

Therefore, he could also perceive why the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty's prince, despite his strong Physical Body, would lose to that Nascent Soul Cultivator in green robes.

Buzz—!!!

But the next moment, a sound suddenly appeared.

In the center of the valley, that hundred-zhang-tall spatial rift

suddenly erupted with ten thousand zhang of brilliant light!

This sudden change instantly diverted everyone's attention!

Everyone's breathing became rapid at this moment.

Even Ying Chengju, who was like a madman, temporarily suppressed the killing intent and humiliation in his heart, turning his head abruptly.

Staring intently at that spatial rift!

Compared to personal grudges, the Legacy left by those Purple Mansion Dao Lords

was the most important thing!

Buzz—!

Immediately after, a seven-colored star gate

slowly condensed and formed in the center of the rift.

"Go!"

Someone, for the first time, shouted!

Instantly, the extremely suppressed atmosphere exploded!

"The Legacy is mine!"

"First come, first served! Charge!"

Hundreds of Cultivators moved instantly!

Visibly, they instantly transformed into streaks of light.

Charging madly towards that light gate like crazy!

Clearly, everyone wanted to seize the initiative!

Seeing this, the anger on Ying Chengju's face grew even stronger!

These scoundrels!

They actually dared to snatch his Opportunity!

If it weren't for Chen Xu, this Secret Realm Legacy today would have been for him alone.

Thinking of this, he glared fiercely at Chen Xu.

The killing intent in his eyes almost overflowed!

But he ultimately suppressed the urge to act immediately.

Compared to personal grudges, the Purple Mansion Dao Lord's Legacy was the most important thing!

"You just wait for this prince!"

He issued a threat, stomping his foot fiercely!

He actually moved later but arrived first, knocking aside several Cultivators blocking his way.

He was the first to rush into the light gate!

Hearing this, Chen Xu snorted coldly, a flash of killing intent in his eyes!

But it quickly vanished!

After that brief exchange, he knew that Ying Chengju was nothing more than an ant.

Compared to Pojun Demon Lord.

This was like a firefly compared to the bright moon.

Killing this guy was as easy as flipping a hand.

However, he was not in a hurry; there were many ways to kill this guy.

And facing the appearing Legacy Secret Realm,

He did not contend, nor did he snatch.

He merely swayed his body and disappeared from his spot as the surging crowd slightly slowed down...The moment he passed through the light gate, there was a brief sensation of spatial distortion.

The next second, his vision suddenly cleared!

The expected scene of desolation and ruins, full of broken walls, did not appear.

What appeared before everyone's eyes

was a wonderland that everyone would never forget in their lives!

Immortal mountains floated in mid-air, clouds and mist swirled among the peaks, and waterfalls cascaded like silver rivers.

Flocks of cranes gracefully soared among the clouds.

On the ground were endless pavilions and towers, jade palaces and grand halls, each building emanating a faint spiritual glow.

It was as if they were not things of the mortal world.

The rich Spiritual Qi here formed a faint mist.

Just taking a breath made one feel completely refreshed.

Even the magical power became several times purer!

Time here seemed to be frozen in ancient times.

Everything was as good as new!

"Is... is this the Secret Realm ruins?"

A Cultivator stared at the magnificent scene before him, utterly awestruck, muttering to himself.

Everyone was stunned.

They stopped, greedily breathing in the air of this place.

Their eyes were filled with infatuation.

Just at this moment!

A gentle breeze swept by.

A rich medicinal fragrance instantly wafted into everyone's nostrils!

Just smelling that scent made their mouths water, and the magical power within their bodies began to stir!

"It's a medicinal fragrance! Such a rich medicinal fragrance!"

A Cultivator suddenly awoke, his eyes shining as he looked ahead.

Instantly, everyone's gaze was drawn over.

Beyond the continuous palace complex, there was a vast medicinal garden stretching as far as the eye could see!

Within the medicinal garden, various spiritual lights shone, and rays of colorful light filled the air!

Ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine, long extinct in the outside world and only existing in ancient texts... here, they grew rampant like weeds!

"That is... Blood Sun Grass! It's entirely crimson, shaped like a great sun! Legend has it that consuming one can increase one's Physical Body strength tenfold!"

"Nine-purple Ganoderma! My heavens! That Ganoderma actually has nine leaves!"

"This is a supreme holy medicine that can bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bones!"

"Heavenly Nurturing Grass... enough to extend the lifespan of a Nascent Soul Cultivator by five hundred years!"

Among the crowd, bursts of incredulous exclamations erupted!

Everyone's breathing became heavy!

Their eyes were completely red!

The Cultivators who were immersed in the immortal realm a second ago, the next second, their reason was overwhelmed by the temptation before them.

Completely collapsed!

"Grab it!!!"

After a brief silence, a roar broke out!

Boom!

A Demonic Cultivator in the Early Nascent Soul Stage was the first to move!

He transformed into a black streak, rushing straight for a ten-thousand-year-old blood ginseng closest to him!

However, he was fast, but someone was faster!

Pfft!

A sharp sword light flashed behind him, extremely fast!

The Demonic Cultivator didn't even react.

His head flew into the sky!

Blood stained the spiritual earth beneath his feet!

A Righteous Path Cultivator slashed the Demonic Cultivator with a sword, a sinister smile on his face.

He reached out to pluck the blood ginseng.

But as soon as his hand touched the blood ginseng, another anomaly occurred!

From beneath the ground, several dark vines suddenly shot out.

They wrapped around his ankles like venomous snakes!

"Ah!"

He let out a scream, and his entire body was instantly dragged underground, never to be heard from again!

This was just the beginning!

"Kill!"

"The treasure is mine!"

"Go to hell!"

The entire medicinal garden instantly transformed into the most cruel and bloody Asura field!

Swords flashed, and Magic Treasures flew wildly!

Screams and roars rose and fell!

A Cultivator had just snatched a Spirit Medicine, before he even had time to rejoice.

His back was pierced by a Flying Sword from his companion!

A beautiful female Cultivator, who had charmed several people with her allure, was about to collect a seven-colored lotus, but was directly blasted into charcoal by a lightning spell that descended from the sky!

Blood!

Mangled limbs!

Severed arms!

Cultivators constantly fell, their blood staining this immortal garden, where supreme Spirit Medicine grew.

It was dyed a shocking crimson!

This was not a place of Opportunity; this was a meat grinder!

Chen Xu's figure, at some unknown point, also appeared at the edge of the medicinal garden.

He looked at the chaotic and bloody scene before him, his eyes showing no ripples.

The path of cultivation was inherently a struggle against heaven, against earth, and against people.

One wrong step led to eternal damnation.

While others were busy fighting, his Divine Sense quietly covered the entire medicinal garden.

Everything in the medicinal garden appeared in his mind.

The Spirit Medicine that those Cultivators were frantically snatching, in his eyes.

They were just ordinary goods.

He could feel that in certain corners of this medicinal garden, there were still some truly supreme treasures hidden, whose Aura was more restrained.

And of higher grade.

These supreme treasures were all enveloped by an extremely subtle layer of ancient Restrictions.

These Restrictions, seemingly not strong, could disturb a Cultivator's perception.

Making people subconsciously overlook them.

"So that's how it is..."

Chen Xu understood in his heart.

He did not participate in the bloody struggle, but instead took a step.

He walked into the medicinal garden unhurriedly.

His steps seemed casual, yet he always managed to perfectly avoid all the chaotic attacks.

A violent fire dragon spell brushed past his clothes.

He was unharmed.

A dense rain of swords fell above his head, yet not even a single strand of his hair was cut off.

He walked like this, strolling leisurely through this battlefield.

Soon, he arrived at an inconspicuous corner.

The Spiritual Qi here was thin, and only some ordinary weeds grew.

But Chen Xu stopped.

He stretched out his hand and gently pointed at the Void Realm in front of him.

Buzz!

The space rippled slightly, and an invisible wave spread out.

The next second, the scene before him suddenly changed!

The weeds disappeared, replaced by a strange ginseng, entirely purple, as if carved from amethyst, with wisps of lightning coiling around it!

Purple Heavens Profound Lightning Ginseng!

A supreme divine medicine that only existed in legends, capable of refining the Divine Soul.

And comprehending the Dao of lightning!

Its value was more than ten times higher than all the ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine that people were fighting over outside, combined!

Chen Xu flicked his finger, and a soft magical power enveloped the divine ginseng, uprooting it.

He carefully placed it into his Storage Ring.

After doing this... he did not linger, continuing towards his next target.

While collecting the truly top-grade Spirit Medicine, Chen Xu also divided his attention.

Observing the layout of the entire Sect ruins.

He found that whether it was the floating immortal mountains or the palace complex on the ground.

Their arrangement conformed to a certain Formation principle.

The entire Sect itself was an unimaginably huge mountain protection Formation!

"What a grand undertaking! This mountain protection Formation is perfectly aligned with the Spiritual Vein flow of this world, constantly regenerating."

"Purple Mansion Dao Lord is truly a talent of immense skill."

Chen Xu secretly praised in his heart, his admiration for this ancient Dao Lord growing even more... Just as Chen Xu was calmly collecting treasures.

At the other end of the medicinal garden, an even more astonishing battle erupted!

"Roar!"

Ying Chengju roared up to the sky, his Innate Hegemon Body pushed to its limit!

His whole body glowed with golden light, like a golden War God, and with one punch.

Several Cultivators were directly shaken to death!

He acted ruthlessly and incomparably domineeringly, sweeping through everything in his path, no one could stop him!

Countless rare Spirit Medicine were roughly taken into his possession.

However, his domineering actions also completely enraged all the Nascent Soul Cultivators present.

"Ying Chengju! You are too arrogant!"

A cold shout rang out!

The grey-robed elder, Wandering Cultivator Lingxi, who had been hiding in the crowd, finally made his move!

He flicked the whisk in his hand, and thousands of silver threads surged, like a net of heaven and earth.

It enveloped Ying Chengju's head!

"Let's first join forces to deal with this biggest trouble!"

"That's right! Otherwise, we won't even get a share!"

Three more Late Nascent Soul Stage old monsters charged out from different directions.

Instantly forming a pincer attack with Wandering Cultivator Lingxi!

These four were all renowned old monsters from Xinghai Prefecture, with formidable strength, and their combined might now was earth-shattering!

"A bunch of weaklings! How dare you attack this prince?!"

Seeing this, Ying Chengju showed no fear, but instead let out a wild laugh, his eyes filled with towering Battle Intent!

"Good! Today, this prince will blast all of you to smithereens!"

Boom!

The battle instantly erupted!

Ying Chengju, fighting one against four, was not at a disadvantage in the slightest!

Relying on his powerful Hegemon Body, he ignored most attacks, and his iron fists cleaved open heaven and earth.

He forced the four Nascent Soul old monsters to retreat repeatedly, their hearts filled with dread!

For a time, this area was filled with flying sand and stones, the earth cracked, and terrifying spiritual energy aftershocks.

Tore everything around them to shreds!

Rumble!!!

The entire Secret Realm space suddenly experienced a violent tremor!

As if an ancient Vicious Beast was awakening!

This sudden change made everyone's hearts skip a beat!

Immediately after!

An incomparably thick seven-colored pillar of light shot up from the deepest part of the medicinal garden!

Straight into the sky!

A Dao charm Aura swept through the entire Secret Realm!

"What... what is that?!"

"The true Legacy! The true Legacy of Purple Mansion Dao Lord is about to appear!"

"Quick! Go there quickly!"

All the Cultivators who were fighting, upon feeling that Aura.

All stopped their actions!

Their eyes immediately showed signs of madness again!

Compared to the true Dao Lord's Legacy, what were these Spirit Medicine?

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Everyone made the same choice!

Abandon the fight!

They all, without prior agreement, transformed into streaks of light, rushing towards the direction of the seven-colored pillar of light.

They surged forward madly!

Wandering Cultivator Lingxi and the other three, who were besieging Ying Chengju, also had their eyes flash, exchanging glances.

They retreated without hesitation, heading straight for the pillar of light!

"Trying to leave?!"

Ying Chengju was covered in blood, but his Battle Intent was even stronger, and he was about to pursue.

But at the moment he saw the heaven-piercing pillar of light.

He forcibly stopped his steps.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, let out an angry roar, and finally gave up the pursuit, transforming into a golden虹, rushing towards the depths of the medicinal garden.

The chaotic battle thus came to an abrupt end.

In the corner of the medicinal garden.

Chen Xu had just collected a Nine Nether Soul Grass, which was entirely black.

And exuded a faint cold Qi, into his possession.

He raised his gaze, looking at the seven-colored pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth.

"The appetizers are over so quickly."

"The main act, is it finally about to begin?"

As his voice fell, his figure slowly faded in place, eventually disappearing completely.
