111: Chapter 111 You've Already Seeked Your Own Death!

That day, they entered the Secret Realm entrance at the same time and were transported to this Lesser Grotto-Heaven.

They had been trapped here ever since, finding neither Ye Xiaoyao nor an exit.

Nearly three months had passed. Relying on the advantages of her Pure Yin Sacred Body and the dense Spiritual Qi here, Ji Chanxi had actually successfully broken through to the Middle Stage Core Formation.

Pei Yuhan's Foundation was already solid, and her aura became increasingly refined.

Although the two women were somewhat awkward with each other because of Ye Xiaoyao, being in a dangerous place together allowed them to maintain a basic level of cooperation to explore and survive.

Nearly another month passed.

On the surface of Ye Xiaoyao's body, a thick, solid light that looked as if it were cast from pure gold slowly withdrew into his body.

He opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath of turbid air, his eyes flashing with brilliant light.

The seventh revolution of the Nine Revolutions Hegemon Body Art, Perfection!

His Physical Body's strength and power had reached a new level!

"Now only the last two revolutions remain."

He muttered happily to himself, stretching his limbs as his joints let out crisp popping sounds.

After more than a month of quiet cultivation, it was time to take a short break and check on Lu Jiajing's situation.

He stood up, adjusted his green Daoist robe, and looked toward the place where Lu Jiajing was in seclusion.

It was still quiet there; he could only feel her deep and stable aura fluctuating slowly. The process of Nascent Soul Formation was clearly long and could not be accomplished overnight.

Ye Xiaoyao knew full well that it had taken Liu Yunshuang more than half a year to form her Nascent Soul back then.

He was not anxious and was willing to wait here patiently to protect her.

He cast several hand seals, strengthening the three meticulously prepared protection and concealment Formations he had set up earlier to firmly guard Lu Jiajing's seclusion spot.

With these three sets of Formations in place, unless a Nascent Soul old monster arrived in person, ordinary Core Formation Cultivators would find it extremely difficult to interfere.

Seeing that the Formations were stable and Lu Jiajing was safe, Ye Xiaoyao decided to patrol the perimeter of the Formations.

He hadn't stepped outside the range of the Formations for nearly three months.

Just as he was carefully investigating outside the Formations, alert for any external traces—

"BOOM!!!"

Not far away, at a certain spot in the thick spatial barrier separating him from the Lesser Grotto-Heaven he was in, a world-shaking explosion suddenly rang out!

Immediately after, a violent crimson energy pierced through the barrier like a sharp sword, forcibly tearing open a crack several feet long.

A powerful suction force came from the crack. Caught off guard, Ye Xiaoyao felt himself lose control and was sucked in with a "whoosh."

The world spun, and the scenery before his eyes changed abruptly.

Once he stabilized himself and looked closely, he was already in another Lesser Grotto-Heaven with high mountains, dense forests, and a sinister aura.

And not far ahead, two familiar figures—one in black and one in white—who haunted his dreams and caused him endless headaches,

Were being pursued relentlessly by a middle-aged man in a crimson robe with a sinister expression, fleeing in a sorry state.

It was Chaner!

And that White-robed Female Sword Immortal!

Ye Xiaoyao instantly understood that they must have come looking for him and had also fallen into this place.

And that red-robed man chasing them...

His aura was powerful, far exceeding the Late Stage Core Formation. He was likely...

Before he could think further, seeing his Dao Companions being chased into a perilous situation, fury rose within Ye Xiaoyao's heart.

"No matter who you are, if you dare to hurt my Chaner..."

"You have already found your path to death!!"

His gaze turned cold as he whispered, "Today, I'll use you to test my newly formed Golden Core and Physical Body!"

Although he sensed the other party's aura was extremely strong, the distance was still far, and his judgment might be slightly off; he felt the man might be at the Peak of Late Stage Core Formation.

Relying on his vast dharmic power at the Early Stage Core Formation and the Pure Yang Sacred Body with the seventh revolution of the Hegemon Body perfected, his combat strength far surpassed those of the same rank.

He was full of confidence, not out of arrogance!

Ye Xiaoyao moved, turning into a green streak of light. At the same time, he slapped his hands together repeatedly,

Two high-grade Divine Speed Talismans glowed brightly, increasing his speed several times over. Like a bolt of green lightning, he shot straight toward that red-robed middle-aged man!

On the other side, Ji Chanxi and Pei Yuhan's spiritual energy was heavily depleted. Under the red-robed man's pursuit, their flight speed had become sluggish.

It turned out that after the Rank Four Early Stage Fire Flame Python entered a Lesser Grotto-Heaven in the Thousand Illusions Secret Realm, it failed to find any treasures and couldn't find an exit.

Thus, relying on its powerful Yao Beast Physical Body, it directly crashed through the spatial barrier of the Lesser Grotto-Heaven.

This collision happened to bring it into the grotto-heaven where Ji Chanxi and the other woman were, and it subsequently discovered them.

The middle-aged man transformed from the Fire Flame Python grinned sinisterly upon seeing them. He accelerated, instantly closing in behind the two women, and threw out a crimson fire net, blocking their path.

"Where else are you two little beauties going to run?"

His lecherous gaze swept over the two women's exquisite curves, his voice raspy and unpleasant.

"Why not just submit and be this King's slave girls? Serve me well, and this King will ensure you live a life of pleasure, hahaha!"

Ji Chanxi and Pei Yuhan's faces were ice-cold. They exchanged a look, and though no words were spoken, they shouted coldly at the same time:

"Hmph! In your dreams!"

"Beast, die!"

Both unleashed their Magic Treasures!

Ji Chanxi's pitch-black long whip was like a venomous dragon emerging from its hole, tearing through the air and whipping up a sky full of shadows.

Pei Yuhan's moon-white long sword let out a clear hum, turning into a ribbon of bright, clear sword light, stabbing straight at the Fire Flame Python's vital points!

One black, one white—their coordination was unexpectedly perfect.

A flicker of surprise flashed in the Fire Flame Python's eyes, quickly replaced by contempt:

"Overestimating yourselves!"

He waved his sleeve to brush aside the fire net, turning it into a flame shield that easily blocked the two women's combined strike.

However, just as he was preparing to strike again to capture them, a piercing whistle of air came from behind him!

"Heh, a mere beast that managed to transform dares to speak so boldly?

Just now you said they were overestimating themselves. Now... how about adding this Ye?"

A clear and cold voice rang out as a green-robed figure streaked over like a meteor,

Coming to a leisurely halt dozens of yards behind the Fire Flame Python. It was indeed Ye Xiaoyao.

The Fire Flame Python spun around, its vertical pupils suddenly shrinking:

"It's you?!"

He immediately recognized that this was the Foundation Establishment brat who had stolen the blazing sun flower right under his nose and was then rescued by that yellow-skirted female cultivator!

He had actually reached Core Formation now?

His aura seemed... unusually refined and blazing.

"It is indeed I."

Ye Xiaoyao stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering. He released his Early Stage Core Formation Spiritual Pressure without reservation,

Merging it with the natural majesty of the Pure Yang Sacred Body. It was actually not inferior to the Late Stage Core Formation at all, even carrying a scorching sense of pressure.

"That day you suppressed me with your Realm. Today, I have returned at the Core Formation stage. I'd like to see if you can still act so formidable!"

His tone was calm, yet it carried absolute confidence.

He already knew from Lu Jiajing that this Fire Flame Python had only recently transformed. Its strength was at the bottom of the Rank Four Early Stage, far from being comparable to veteran Nascent Soul Yao Beasts.

"Husband!"

Seeing Ye Xiaoyao suddenly appear, Ji Chanxi was both surprised and delighted. But seeing him face off against the Fire Flame Python, worry immediately flooded her heart.

"Be careful! He is a Rank Four Yao Beast!"

"Don't worry, Chaner."

Ye Xiaoyao gave her a reassuring look and said loudly:

"Let the three of us join forces and take down this scoundrel!"

Ji Chanxi nodded vigorously, shaking her long whip as her killing intent locked onto the Fire Flame Python.

Pei Yuhan looked at Ye Xiaoyao's tall and straight figure, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

There was surprise at his Breakthrough.

There was also a sense of shame and annoyance; she couldn't help but remember that day in the cave,

When Ye Xiaoyao took advantage of her confused state of mind.

Had arranged her--into.

Various--shameful.

Po--ses.

But for some reason, seeing that Ye Xiaoyao was unharmed, Pei Yuhan felt a strange sense of relief in her heart.

The long sword in her hand hummed, its tip pointing from afar, making her stance clear.

Seeing that the three had formed an encirclement and were full of Battle Intent, the Fire Flame Python laughed instead of getting angry:

"Good, good, good! A brat who just reached Core Formation and two slave girls who don't know the heights of the heavens,

This King will let you know just how vast the chasm between Realms is!"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Xiaoyao was the first to strike!

He let out a low shout, and the Pure Yang Power within him erupted like a volcano. He fully activated the seventh revolution of the Nine Revolutions Hegemon Body Art,

His body was instantly covered in a layer of substantial pale-golden light. His muscles bulged slightly, and a heart-palpitating sense of prehistoric power emanated from him!

He didn't even use a Magic Treasure. He simply took a step forward, the ground beneath him cracking as his body crashed toward the Fire Flame Python like a cannonball, throwing a punch.

Everywhere the fist wind passed, the air let out an overburdened explosion, and the golden light was blinding!

At first, the Fire Flame Python didn't care. A mere Early Stage Core Formation—how strong could his Physical Body be?

He didn't even bother to defend fully, only propping up a thick crimson Protective Spiritual Light.

"BANG—!!!"

Ye Xiaoyao's golden fist smashed heavily against the Protective Spiritual Light!
