977: Your speed is disappointing.

Half an hour later, Xie Weilou arrived amidst a stretch of ruins.

These ruins were not particularly large, and not a single complete structure could be seen in the vicinity.

The stone pillars and fractured walls within the ruins were all incredibly ancient, bearing marks eroded by time.

In the center of the ruins was a Star Plaza, upon which stood dozens of stone pillars and many ancient corpses that had not yet decayed.

Amidst the Corpse Skeletons stood a headless stone statue, and in its hands, it held a watermelon-sized, azure object.

This object was incredibly frigid, its cold aura permeating the area, causing the surrounding Corpse Skeletons to be covered in a layer of frost.

A man from the Ruan Yi Clan, dressed in blood-colored robes, stood on the plaza, his eyes burning as he stared at the object in the statue's hands.

"That is... Star River Marrow?"

Xie Weilou activated his Heavenly Eye Vision to observe the object in the statue's hands.

This item was recorded in both the Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements and the Supreme Origin Pill Explanation.

Star River Marrow was a substance condensed from the eternal star river; it was extremely cold and contained terrifying stellar power.

It could be used for Artifact Refining and Alchemy, and could also be used to forge the Physical Body and improve Cultivation.

For a Cultivator who mastered stellar power, this item was of infinite value; even a tiny bit could incite countless people to fight over it.

This watermelon-sized glob was an even greater priceless treasure.

"Qinghuang, I have encountered a watermelon-sized mass of Star River Marrow. Is it of any use to you?"

Xie Weilou took out a jade talisman and asked softly.

This Star River Marrow was also of immense use to him, but he already possessed a more extraordinary star core on his person, which he had not yet refined to this day.

As for this Star River Marrow, he could give it to Lin Qinghuang.

"Take it! It has huge utility!"

Lin Qinghuang's voice came through.

The Lin Clan produced two Emperors, one of whom was the Star River Great Emperor, an overlord of the starry sky.

The Star River Scripture he created was the key to the Lin Clan's mastery of stellar power.

A watermelon-sized mass of Star River Marrow was of immense value and extremely hard to find.

If she could obtain this item, it could completely enhance Lin Qinghuang's mastery of the Star River Scripture, her insight into stellar power, and even improve her Cultivation.

"Alright!"

Xie Weilou smiled and put away the jade talisman.

"Good stuff!"

The man from the Ruan Yi Clan walked toward the statue with burning eyes.

His name was Xueran, and he had been Cultivating for over two hundred years. He was the most powerful Heavens Proud Son of the Ruan Yi Clan, with a Mid-stage Wendao Realm Cultivation, capable of fighting against those at the Late Stage Wen Dao.

As for the Yao Race, their Lifespan was long; two hundred years of time was nothing, and he still belonged to the younger generation within his clan.

He had already touched the threshold of the Late Stage Wen Dao, and was only a tiny bit away from stepping into it.

As long as he obtained the object in the statue's hands and refined it, he would certainly be able to step into the Late Stage Wen Dao in one go.

"This item is mine."

Xueran's eyes were greedy as he immediately reached out toward the statue.

Boom!

Just at this moment, a war halberd shot over explosively.

"Hmm?"

Xueran's expression sank as he hurriedly dodged; the war halberd grazed past him and slammed into a wall on the side.

"Who?"

Xueran immediately looked to the right and happened to see Xie Weilou a hundred meters away.

He grinned viciously and said, "It is you. Very good! It seems my luck is not bad."

Today, not only could he obtain this mass of Star River Marrow, but he could also obtain the demon saint inner elixir. It seemed the heavens did not treat him unfairly.

"Meeting me, your luck is indeed not bad. After all, I like to bestow eternal life upon others, and you have the chance to obtain eternal life."

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently. He took a step, crossed a hundred meters, and instantly appeared before Xueran, slamming a whip kick toward Xueran's head.

"..."

Xueran immediately blocked with his arms in front of him.

Bang!

Xie Weilou's leg slammed into Xueran's arms, a booming sound rang out, and Xueran was directly blasted back twenty meters.

Xueran stomped his foot, immediately steadying his body. His arms trembled, several bones had fractured, and a stinging pain washed over him, making him feel uncomfortable.

He glared coldly at Xie Weilou: "Your Physical Body strength is not bad; I did underestimate you."

Dense snake scales rapidly grew on his body, covering him entirely.

"Kill!"

Xueran lunged at Xie Weilou like lightning, fists clenched, slamming violently toward Xie Weilou's head.

A blood-colored fist imprint cut across the air, carrying tyrannical Demonic Qi, fierce and incomparable.

"..."

Xie Weilou's Guixu Realm aura erupted. He clenched his fist and met the attack with a punch.

Bang!

The two fists collided, a booming sound rang out, the ground cracked continuously, and some of the already fractured buildings nearby were pulverized into dust by the shockwaves of their power.

Crack!

The scales on Xueran's arms cracked and shattered continuously; cracks appeared on his arms, and blood splattered out.

Bang!

The next instant, a massive force struck, and Xueran's body was once again blasted back.

"Damn it! This human is only at the Guixu Realm, why is his Physical Body so strong?"

Xueran quickly steadied his body, his face becoming extremely gloomy.

As a member of the Yao Race, his Physical Body was naturally very formidable and could rival a Dao Artifact. Looking among his peers, while not invincible, he was definitely considered an outstanding talent.

He did not expect that he would be inferior to this Guixu Realm human, which made him feel displeased.

"So what if your Physical Body is formidable? With your Guixu Realm Cultivation, could your spiritual power and speed possibly surpass mine?"

Xueran waved his large hand, slamming it violently into the ground.

Rumble!

The ground flashed with blood-red light and burst continuously as hundreds of blood-colored sharp spikes instantly shot out, like blood-colored ground spikes, attacking toward Xie Weilou.

Boom!

Xie Weilou stomped his foot, and a powerful force surged out, instantly pulverizing those blood-colored spikes into dust.

Rip!

Xueran transformed into a streak of blood-red light, appearing before Xie Weilou in an instant, and punched toward Xie Weilou's chest.

With his Dao Seeking Realm speed, he wanted to see how this human would dodge this punch.

Boom!

This punch was fierce, directly piercing through Xie Weilou's chest. The blood-colored fist imprint shot out from behind Xie Weilou, pulverizing a stone pillar in the distance.

"Is that it?"

A trace of disdain appeared in Xueran's eyes.

He had said that a mere Guixu Realm Cultivator couldn't stir up any waves and could be suppressed and killed with a wave of his hand.

"Your speed is disappointing!"

Just at this moment, Xie Weilou's voice rang out from beside Xueran's ear.

"What?"

Xueran's pupils constricted, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He subconsciously looked at the Xie Weilou in front, whose body was rapidly dissipating, and he couldn't help but feel his whole body bristle.

An afterimage!

It was just an afterimage...

Xie Weilou appeared out of thin air beside Xueran, his fist clenched as he slammed a punch toward Xueran's chest.

"Not good..."

Xueran's expression changed drastically, and he instinctively tried to dodge, but it was a step too late.

Bang!

Xie Weilou's fist instantly slammed into Xueran's chest.

The fist imprint erupted, the power of annihilation swept through, and a hideous blood hole was blasted into Xueran's chest.

Bones shattered, internal organs exploded, and the fist imprint blasted out from his back, carrying a spray of blood.

"Ah..."

Xueran let out a shrill, miserable scream, his body blasted a hundred meters away, smashing several stone pillars into pieces.

Xie Weilou stomped his foot, the ground burst open, and he suddenly appeared before Xueran, throwing a punch toward Xueran's head...
