112: Sword, open the sky gate!

"Die?"

"What big talk."

The Demon Flame Beast laughed, and black flames suddenly ignited around him. Some people who couldn't escape in time were directly burned to charred bones!

This was the origin of his name, Magic Flame. He possessed exotic Magic Flame, and once contaminated, it meant death. He was the nightmare of Body Cultivators.

If the Saints and Supremes of ancient times were present, he might have shown some interest, but those before him were mere ants, not even worth chewing, utterly boring. It should have been that way, but now, an ant dared to stand out and threaten him?

An ant without even a Heaven and Earth Realm, daring to threaten him, a Sixth Realm Yao Emperor?

"Simply ridiculous!"

He roared in fury, and pressure instantly surged like mountains and seas.

"Kid!"

"I know your Physique is special, truly not simple. I also know you're highly esteemed, and your identity is not simple, but..."

"This is useless against me."

"I've devoured countless people; there's no one I haven't eaten. Many stronger and more arrogant than you have fallen. A Human Race cub like you, I can crush with one finger..."

To the foreign race, this world was merely their hunting ground. How could he, who had cultivated for a thousand years, look up to a cub like Jun Lingxiao, who was barely twenty?

But his words were cut short by Jun Lingxiao.

"Then why aren't you making a move?"

"Could it be... you're waiting for it?"

Jun Lingxiao walked steadily towards the Demon Flame Beast, his gaze fixed as he placed his hand on the iron sword at his waist. Instantly, a flash of sword light flew out, cutting through a nearby wall. Along with it, a Blood Leopard inside was also bisected.

While doing all this, Jun Lingxiao didn't even turn his head. He merely looked at the tall Demon Flame Beast and continued:

"A Sixth Realm Yao Emperor, it looks like you're about to Breakthrough to the Seventh Realm, but it's actually the opposite. You were imprisoned for a thousand years, falling from the Seventh Realm to your current Sixth Realm."

"You might have been very strong before, but now, you're nothing special. You even resort to such petty sneak attacks."

"I only ask one thing: What lies beyond the foreign domain?"

Jun Lingxiao stared intently at the Demon Flame Beast, his tone domineering and beyond question.

However, the gazes of the others were not on him.

They looked at the Blood Leopard buried under the wall's rubble and were momentarily stunned.

"Fifth Realm..."

Qiu Jinyao's breath hitched at the sight, then she recovered. Only she knew that Jun Lingxiao possessing such strength was not surprising. He was so powerful, so diligent, and had the support of countless people behind him.

It was just... the gap was still so vast, leaving her in despair.

Chu Gaodan, Jun Hongxuan, and Jun Shun exchanged glances, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

A Fifth Realm Yao Beast was... instantly killed in one move?

"As expected of my Chu Family's Holy Infant."

"As expected of my Jun Family's Divine Son."

The three thought this, then all smiled.

Ling Tian, meanwhile, had already scurried over to pick up the token from the Blood Leopard's body, and conveniently collected anything valuable, finding time to shout, "Big Brother is mighty!"

A Fifth Realm beast! Something he might only defeat after a few hundred years of cultivation was now lying there for him to loot. This was the benefit of having a Big Brother.

It's stable! Go, Big Brother!

The most shocked, however, was Qin Chengan. He stared blankly at the scene, finding it hard to believe.

"How is this possible! He's not even twenty... one sword? No, no, what was that? I didn't even see it clearly..."

He had originally been confident, but after seeing this, he felt somewhat lost.

Was Jun Lingxiao really that strong?

A Fifth Realm beast, he wasn't incapable of fighting it, but it was Jun Lingxiao's actions... If Jun Lingxiao had approached it as if facing a formidable enemy, and after a bitter struggle, had slain the Fifth Realm Yao Beast with his sword, he wouldn't have been so shocked, as he could also do that.

But what did Jun Lingxiao just do?

He walked over unguarded, pointed a finger, and instantly killed the Fifth Realm Blood Leopard hidden in the shadows. It was so easy, like crushing an ant, so effortless and calm, not even sparing a glance. What an arrogant display!

Or rather, was it absolute confidence in his own strength?

Even the Sky Devouring Flame Demon Beast's originally casual gaze began to turn serious. He glanced at the Blood Leopard's corpse. A Fifth Realm strength, while not the best in this Secret Realm, was still quite strong; it could have been his subordinate.

But now, it was instantly killed by this Human Race cub, who even saw through his current state. Indeed, he was quite impressive.

Thinking this, he even began to feel a hint of admiration.

"Kid, this is very interesting. You are worthy of replacing it as my subordinate."

"How about this, I'll make one move. If you can withstand it, I'll tell you what lies beyond the foreign domain."

The Demon Flame Beast's Magic Flame weakened slightly. He did not underestimate Jun Lingxiao; on the contrary, he now held Jun Lingxiao in high regard, even wanting to take him as a subordinate. This was a rare honor.

He was once in the Seventh Realm. Although he had fallen to the Sixth Realm, he could still contend with a Human Race Venerable Realm. No matter how much of a Prodigy Jun Lingxiao was, the Realm gap was still there.

He even considered holding back later so as not to kill this interesting cub.

"Be your subordinate? Take one of your moves?"

Jun Lingxiao repeated it, then laughed.

What was he laughing at?

He was laughing at this Yao Beast, unable to see the situation clearly.

"Sixth Realm is indeed very good, but only within this Secret Realm. If you were in the Seventh Realm, you might be worthy of being this Divine Son's subordinate, but you are only in the Sixth Realm now; taking you would be embarrassing."

"Now, I am testing you. I will make one move. Only if you can withstand it will you be qualified to speak."

After Jun Lingxiao finished speaking, a giant sword suddenly appeared, floating in the air, moving with his fingertip.

The Sky Devouring Flame Demon Beast, who was about to get angry, saw Jun Lingxiao's entire demeanor suddenly change. Then... a vast pressure, accompanied by four words, descended.

"Sword, Open Heaven's Gate!"

As the four words were uttered, an ancient stone gate, dozens of meters tall, appeared out of thin air above the Demon Flame Beast's head, then crashed down heavily!

With a boom!

The ground instantly kicked up a huge cloud of dust. The Demon Flame Beast stood there, struggling to hold up the stone gate above its head.

"It's the Word Sword Art!"

The stone gate appearing out of thin air and crashing down, the mere dust it raised sent shivers down everyone's spines. Chu Gaodan's eyes lit up, and he immediately recognized it as the Chu Family's ultimate technique, the Word Sword Art! And it was the final form, Sword, Open Heaven's Gate!

However, as he thought this, a doubt arose in his mind. The ability to create physical objects out of thin air was a skill of their Chu Family People, and even he could only manifest a stone gate of about five meters with this move, Sword, Open Heaven's Gate. How could Jun Lingxiao manifest a stone gate dozens of meters high? And the color of this stone gate... "Kid! Don't be too arrogant!!!"

The Demon Flame Beast's Magic Flame burst forth, and under this Magic Flame, the stone gate above its head actually began to crack inch by inch, then shattered.

And just as he was about to counterattack, he looked up and saw... the giant sword that had already descended upon his head!
