Breakthroughs All Around!
The battlefield reeked of blood.
Zhang Zhi stood still.
His gaze was fixed on the huge, deep pit in the ground.
Niu Ben Fourth-Turn Peak, disappeared.
Not a single intact scale remained.
Cold sweat trickled down Zhang Zhi's forehead and splattered onto the sand.
He turned to look at Chen Fan, the ten-year-old boy who was standing in the sandstorm, his expression calm, fiddling with the Star Map on his wrist.
Chen Fan didn't even look up, casually waving his hand.
"Get up." Chen Fan slid his finger across the Star Map, tapping a red dot. "Time is of the essence. Next up: the Shadow Mink Clan. They excel at stealth and speed. Shen Xuan, Qing Yue, you two will practice on these Alien Races."
Xiao Ran looked up at the dim sky.
A chilling crimson aura had begun to permeate the air.
"There are less than three hours left until the next Annihilation Period," Xiao Ran said rapidly. "Within three hours, we must return to the Guardian Zone with its array."
Chen Fan turned off the Star Map and raised his eyes.
His eyes gleamed with undisguised fervor.
"That's enough." Chen Fan turned around. "Let's go."
Six figures rose from the ground, tearing through the air and creating ear-piercing sonic booms as they hurtled towards the Shadow Mink Clan's Guardian Zone.
The Shadow Mink Clan's Guardian Zone is located within a dark stone forest.
This area is perpetually shrouded in darkness, and its terrain is complex and varied.
Chen Fan and his group made no attempt to conceal their true intentions.
They descended directly above the stone forest.
"Enemy attack!"
A sharp hissing sound came from deep within the stone forest.
Dozens of black afterimages darted out from the cracks in the rocks and the shadowy corners. They were so fast that their movements were impossible to track with the naked eye.
Chen Fan stood with his arms crossed, hovering in mid-air, showing no intention of making a move.
Su Qingyue took a step forward.
Her eyes instantly turned pure silver.
An invisible Mental Power radiated outwards from her, causing the air to distort violently.
The rapidly moving black afterimage below suddenly stopped.
Dozens of the Shadow Mink Clan Prodigies simultaneously clutched their heads, letting out shrill screams.
Black blood flowed from their seven orifices, their bodies went out of control, and they plummeted straight to the ground from mid-air, plunging into a deep shock to their Divine Souls.
"Court death!"
A powerful Qi and Blood, originating from the deepest part of the stone forest, erupted from the Fourth-Turn Peak.
The leader of the Shadow Mink Clan has appeared.
He was shrouded in black mist, locking onto Su Qingyue in mid-air.
He stomped his legs hard on the ground, creating a large crater.
He transformed into an extreme black light, aiming straight for Su Qingyue's throat.
This black light moved faster than the speed of sound, carrying a sharp edge that could tear everything apart.
Su Qingyue remained expressionless, without even blinking.
Shen Xuan flashed forward, blocking Su Qingyue's path.
A smile played at the corners of his lips, and he flicked his right wrist slightly.
"Whoosh."
The folding fan unfolds.
Shen Xuan's Second-Turn Bone Tempering Realm Qi and Blood erupted from his body, pouring entirely into the folding fan. He gripped the fan and slashed down at the oncoming black light.
A sky full of azure Sword Qi appeared out of thin air, crisscrossing and sealing off all of the black light's escape routes.
The cyan Sword Qi sliced through the black light.
The Shadow Mink Clan leader's body was dismembered into countless pieces in mid-air.
The moment his Divine Soul escaped, it was completely annihilated into nothingness by the subsequent Sword Qi.
A Fourth-Turn Peak Alien Races leader was instantly killed by Shen Xuan, who was at the second stage of cultivation.
"Get to work."
Tuo Bashan clenched his fist, let out a sinister laugh, and smashed it directly into the remaining Alien Races camp below.
Xiao Ran and Zhang Zhi followed closely behind.
Having lost their leader and the ability to move, the Shadow Mink Clan became lambs to the slaughter. The battle ended in less than fifteen minutes.
"Continue." Chen Fan glanced at the Star Map. "Fifty miles to the northwest, there's another Primary Guardian Zone."
Within two hours, this six-person team transformed into a ruthless reaping machine. They wiped out three low-level Alien Races Primary Guardian Zones in succession. No Alien Races could stop their advance.
At the edge of the sky, a crimson storm had taken shape. It was an Annihilation storm capable of instantly tearing apart all living beings below the Golden Body Realm.
A fierce wind howled, and the world changed color.
Just before the storm completely engulfed the area, six beams of Stream of Light crashed into the Blackrock Guardian Zone.
Zhang Zhi immediately activated the protective array. A blue light shield rose, completely isolating the outside scarlet storm.
The group collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. The continuous high-intensity fighting and the rapid travel had greatly depleted their strength.
Chen Fan stood in the center of the square. He did not rest.
He formed a hand seal, and his internal Qi and Blood surged.
An ancient, illusory image of Great Furnace appeared behind him.
"Out."
Chen Fan opened his mouth. A massive amount of Origin Dao Seeds poured out from his body.
These are all the spoils they looted from the three Primary Guardian Zones.
Hundreds of Origin Dao Seeds floated in mid-air, emitting multicolored light.
The illusory image of the Great Furnace generated a terrifying suction force, drawing all the Origin Dao Seeds into it.
The "Myriad Dao Furnace Scripture" is operating at full capacity.
The impurities were completely burned off.
The purest Myriad Laws Origin Power transformed into golden droplets, dripping from the bottom of the Great Furnace and converging into a golden stream.
Chen Fan flicked his fingers repeatedly.
The golden stream split into five, flowing into the bodies of Shen Xuan, Su Qingyue, Tuo Bashan, Xiao Ran, and Zhang Zhi respectively.
"Keep your mind focused and circulate your energy."
Chen Fan said in a low voice.
The immense energy instantly washed over everyone's limbs and bones.
Shen Xuan's Sword Qi overflowed uncontrollably, cutting crisscrossing sword marks into the ground. His bones emitted crisp cracking sounds. A blue light covered his entire skeleton.
"Break!" Shen Xuan opened his eyes, his aura surging.
Second-Turn Bone Tempering realm.
Su Qingyue's body shone brightly with silver light, her Mental Power materialized, forming a small whirlwind. Her aura also broke through the critical point, stepping into the second stage.
Tuo Bashan roared to the sky, his muscles bulging, and ancient Barbarian Clan patterns appeared on his skin. His Qi and Blood and qi surged into the clouds, and he steadily stepped into the second stage of cultivation.
Xiao Ran absorbed a large amount of Origin Source, and his previously stagnant realm loosened again. His Qi and Blood surged all the way up, infinitely approaching the Third-Turn Bone Tempering Realm.
Zhang Zhi was originally at the mid-stage of the Fifth-Turn. Nourished by this pure Origin Source, all the hidden injuries he had sustained in the previous battle were healed, his realm was completely stabilized, and he even faintly touched the threshold of the late stage of the Fifth-Turn.
After distributing the energy, Chen Fan closed his eyes.
The remaining golden Origin Power in mid-air transformed into a golden beam of light as thick as a bucket, pouring directly into Chen Fan's head.
Chen Fan sat down cross-legged.
The two hundred and six White Jade Bones inside his body simultaneously lit up with dazzling golden light. Intricate golden Dao patterns began to spread and intertwine on the surface of the bones.
The Qi and Blood surged through the blood vessels, producing a deafening roar.
The barrier at the peak of the third stage shattered instantly under the impact of the massive amount of Origin Source.
A terrifying aura, far surpassing that of a third-stage cultivator, erupted from Chen Fan's body.
This aura was domineering and sharp, carrying the will to suppress everything.
