At this moment, Lin Yun and his group immediately bowed to Qin Hao and said, "Greetings, Master."
"Um!"
Qin Hao nodded.
At this moment, everyone once again clasped their hands in congratulations to Zhang Yi, saying, "Congratulations, Senior Brother, on breaking through to the Qi Drawing Realm!"
"Thank you all for your kind intentions, fellow disciples, and I wish you all a speedy breakthrough!"
And so, the group appeared to be in perfect harmony.
In reality, in Lin Fei's heart...
'Damn it, I never thought that I, the one who started cultivating the earliest, would fall behind now. I must cultivate more diligently.'
Thomas: 'Our leader truly lives up to his title! He's got real prestige. And as expected of the senior brother, he's Qi Drawing Realm so quickly!'
Musk: 'Hmph, they're both China, so his mentor must be giving him special treatment!'
Zhang Yi, on the other hand, was thinking: 'Hehe, sorry, I broke through first. It seems the gap between us will only widen from now on!'
Although Qin Hao couldn't read minds, he could guess most of what was going on just by looking at their expressions, so he coughed.
"Ahem, everyone, keep it up! I predict that monsters will be coming to attack the city soon."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately and respectfully replied to Qin Hao, "Disciple understands."
Immediately afterwards, Qin Hao disappeared from the spot.
The next second, Qin Hao appeared in his room and continued building the Divine Bridge.
At this time, four groups of monsters had emerged on the Antarctic Continent.
The weakest of these monsters is at the Martial Saint First Order, while the strongest has reached the Martial Emperor 10th Order.
However, the four monsters among them, who possessed the strength of Martial Emperors, were merely Squad Leaders.
"Black Snake, you know, this damned seal is so weak now, and the captain and the others still can't get out. How long do we have to wait before we can attack those lowly humans?"
"Haha, Snow Tiger, what's the rush? If the captain and the others don't come out, we'd better not make any rash moves. After all, even Bloodthirsty, a Martial Emperor 30th Order, was killed as soon as he came out."
"Yes, I never expected that there would be such a powerful expert among these damned humans."
"I really can't understand it. This world doesn't even have a trace of spiritual energy, so how do they cultivate and become so strong?"
"That's right, it's a good thing our cultivation relies on evil energy, otherwise we would be in real danger in this world without spiritual energy!"
In the blink of an eye, 50 years have passed, and Qin Hao has now successfully connected the five Divine Palaces: the Infant-Nurturing Palace, the Soul-Quiescence Palace, the Weiming Palace, the Light-Containing Palace, and the Name-Guarding Palace.
His strength had increased tens of thousands of times, and he could clearly feel it at this moment.
If he were to encounter that Minotaur Spider Monster again, he could easily kill it instantly.
Qin Hao opened his eyes, his face filled with excitement, because he felt that his cultivation system was almost complete.
Just then, Lin Fei rushed in in a great hurry.
"Master, something terrible has happened! Several extremely powerful monsters have arrived this time, and our eldest brother and the others are about to be overwhelmed."
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao frowned immediately, and before Lin Fei could finish speaking, he vanished with him in an instant.
At this moment, outside the city.
"Roar!"
"Boss, watch out!"
Thomas instantly stepped in front of Zhang Yi.
"Puff!"
Thomas now had a gaping hole in his chest.
"Thomas, you..."
"Boss, thank you so much for taking me in all these years!"
"Thomas, no! Wake up! Master will definitely save you! You must hold on!"
At this moment, the monster opposite looked at the still-steaming heart in its hand and laughed, "Hahaha, look at this heart, how delicious it is!"
With that, he put the heart directly into his mouth and began to chew it.
"Tsk tsk, this is fucking delicious!"
Zhang Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and he glared angrily at the monster opposite him, shouting, "I'm going to kill you!"
With that, Zhang Yi charged toward the monster in front of him.
However, the monster didn't even bother to look at him; with a casual wave of its hand, Zhang Yi was grabbed by the monster.
"Haha! Humans, you really are useless! If we had known you were this weak, we should have come much sooner! Haha!"
Zhang Yi was unable to move at this moment. He was now at the Qi Drawing Third Level, comparable to Martial Emperor 20th Order.
If this were in the Initial Universe or the Kaiyuan Universe, he would definitely be a top-tier figure.
However, he was completely powerless against this monster, finding it difficult even to escape, let alone fight.
"Hmm, now that you've finished the appetizers, it's your turn. Judging by your appearance, you must be the strongest among humans. This will definitely be very nourishing for you, haha!"
As it spoke, the monster unleashed its Dharma Body, opened its blood-red maw, and then put Zhang Yi into its mouth.
Suddenly, a stench assaulted his nostrils, and Zhang Yi watched in despair as the monster's mouth drew ever closer.
Just as Zhang Yi closed his eyes, resigned to his fate and awaiting death.
Qin Hao arrived with Lin Fei.
Zhang Yi was already inside the monster's mouth, and the monster's sharp teeth snapped at Zhang Yi.
Qin Hao then casually waved his hand.
Instantly, the monster transformed into a cloud of blood mist, while Zhang Yi was protected by a golden light and remained quietly within the blood mist.
At this moment, Zhang Yi opened his eyes and found that he was actually fine and still alive, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Are you alright?
Qin Hao asked.
Zhang Yi almost cried when she heard that.
"Thank you, Master, for saving me!"
"Master, is there any hope for Thomas?"
Qin Hao looked at Thomas on the ground with a helpless expression.
Thomas's heart was eaten by the monster, and so much time has passed that even he is powerless to do anything about it.
"Sigh, I'm too late. There's nothing I can do about it!"
"Damn it, that horrible monster!"
At this moment, Marx, along with others, is fighting the monsters.
Qin Hao looked at the monsters and realized that the strongest one among them was the one he had just killed.
Its strength is roughly at the Martial Emperor 45th Order. As for the other monsters, some were around the Martial Emperor 10th Order, but they are now just corpses.
It must have been Zhang Yi who killed him.
As for the other monsters, they are only at the level of Martial Saint First Order to Martial Saint Tenth Rank.
Although their numbers were large, most of them were fleeing frantically because their leader was dead, with only a small number still fighting Marx and his group.
Qin Hao glanced at it and casually waved his hand.
The tens of thousands of monsters that had come were now all turned into ice sculptures, and then, with a gentle breeze, they shattered into ice shards, dead beyond any doubt.
Zhang Yi and the others were so shocked by what they saw that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Alright, let's clean up the battlefield."
After saying that, Qin Hao disappeared from the spot.
When they reappeared, they were already in the Antarctic Continent.
Looking at the Abyss before him, Qin Hao frowned deeply.
Now, the golden shield above the Abyss is getting weaker and weaker, so even monsters at the Martial Emperor 45th Order can come out.
"It seems we need to add another layer of sealing."
As he spoke, Qin Hao placed a Divine Thunder Light Shield on top of the original golden light shield.
However, a blood-red blade slashed down from the Abyss, and the faint golden light shield remained incredibly resilient.
However, the seal that Qin Hao had set up instantly collapsed and vanished into the world.
"Damn, you couldn't even withstand it for a second?"
Thinking it over, Qin Hao simply placed the protective barrier outside the golden light barrier and then left.
A month later, a large group of monsters suddenly emerged from above the Abyss, the strongest of which was Martial Emperor 50th Tier.
However, just as they emerged from the golden protective shield, they were struck by a bolt of lightning.
"Ah! You wretched humans, I'll spare you..."
Before he could finish speaking, the monsters turned to ashes and scattered with the breeze.
