Seventh Level Peak of the Martial Master Realm (Please, please give me gold tickets!)

A slight tingling sensation ran through his knuckles, and Xiao Han shook his wrist.

The mangled remains of the beast, its head shattered, were still twitching, and foul-smelling black blood was gushing out.

He reached out and a crystal core flew out from the beast's corpse. It was slightly heavy in his hand, and its surface was not very smooth, with energy faintly surging within it.

This thing is completely different from the crystal cores of the monsters outside, exuding a wild and chaotic aura, which is quite helpful to his two Martial Souls and the "Shadow Void Scripture".

"That's interesting."

Xiao Han weighed the crystal core in his hand, then casually slipped it into his sleeve. Without pausing, he continued walking deeper into the secret realm.

The further you go in, the more viscous the invisible, chaotic energy becomes, almost dripping with water.

The strange beasts lurking around were all more troublesome than the last, and their forms were incredibly varied.

There are those "Ghost Shadow Lurkers " that are completely transparent, blending into the shadows of the surrounding rocks. They strike silently, yet are extremely ruthless.

There are also those "Bone Spitter" that are as big as small mountains, covered in bony spikes, and spewing out highly corrosive venom from their mouths; even a tiny bit of it can cause serious trouble.

There are even "Elemental Aberrations " capable of harnessing the chaotic energy of this place and unleashing energy storms, making them incredibly powerful.

These people are at least at the Third Level of the Martial Master Realm, and it's not uncommon to see those at the fifth or sixth level of the Martial Master Realm.

Xiao Han practically fought his way through.

When the mood struck, he would use the "Annihilation Divine Fist" to smash them head-on, regardless of whether they had copper skin or iron bones. With one punch, flesh and bones would fly together.

Sometimes, when the time is right, the Eternal Night King Martial Soul is unleashed, and his figure transforms into a faint shadow. Coupled with the ghostly movement technique of "A Step to the Ends of the Earth, Far Away," the strange beasts often have no time to react before they are beheaded.

Occasionally, he would try out his newly acquired Chaos Green Lotus Martial Soul. The azure sword energy, though seemingly gentle, could cleanse evil and shatter illusions, and was remarkably effective against certain special beasts.

After a series of battles, he became more and more adept at using his power. After the Eternal Night King Martial Soul absorbed a lot of special energy and crystal cores in this place, its dark and profound aura became even more refined.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar, like an earthquake, suddenly erupted ahead, accompanied by a ferocious howl that sent chills down one's spine.

Xiao Han moved swiftly, disappearing behind a huge dark purple crystal, quietly peeking out half his head.

Hundreds of meters away, smoke and dust filled the air in a sunken basin.

A giant lizard, its body engulfed in dark purple flames and its size resembling a small hill, was locked in combat with a strange bird that had wings on its back, resembled a griffin, but dragged a ferocious scorpion tail.

Both beasts were at the peak of the Seventh Level Peak of the Martial Master Realm. Every time they pounced and rammed, the ground cracked and the surrounding space rippled. The scattered rocks and vegetation were turned into dust by the dissipated energy.

"Tsk, those two are having quite a fight." Xiao Han stroked his chin.

He's only at the Martial Master Realm Fourth Level Peak right now. If he were to go up and fight those two behemoths head-on, he probably wouldn't gain any advantage.

He simply concealed all his presence and patiently lay low.

When ferocious beasts of this caliber clash to the death, the outcome will inevitably be one injured and the other killed.

As expected, after a fierce and earth-shattering battle, the giant lizard, with its superior physique and endurance, found an opening and tore the strange bird's neck off in one bite.

The strange bird let out a mournful cry, and its massive body crashed to the ground, its fate sealed.

However, the lizard was also in bad shape, its body covered with deep, bone-revealing claw and bite marks, and even the dark purple flames on its body had weakened considerably, clearly indicating that it was also at its last gasp.

It was panting heavily, about to step forward and devour the strange bird's carcass to recover some of its strength.

At that very moment, Xiao Han made a move.

With a light tap of his foot, he activated the "A Step to the Ends of the Earth" technique, his figure blurred for a moment, and he had already traversed hundreds of meters of space, appearing like a ghost beside the heavily injured and dying giant lizard.

Two distinct yet subtly resonant Martial Soul powers, one green and one black, surged forth from within his body simultaneously!

"The Chaos-Eternal Night Twin Domains, open!"

A slight scolding.

The Domain Prototype suddenly spread out, perfectly enveloping the giant lizard within it.

The vibrant life and purification of the blue lotus, and the deathly silence and deprivation of the eternal night, intertwined, causing the giant lizard's massive body to stiffen abruptly, its movements visibly slowing down, and its ferocity greatly diminished.

"The Annihilation Divine Fist - Split Star!"

Xiao Han threw a punch, the power on his fist condensed to the extreme, carrying a destructive fist intent like a falling meteor, hitting the giant lizard's head precisely at the huge wound that the strange bird had previously scratched.

"Pfft!"

The already precarious giant lizard's massive head exploded like a watermelon from that punch!

It was a close call, but no real harm was done.

Xiao Han exhaled a breath of turbid air, quickly stepped forward, and took out the crystal cores from the corpses of the two strange beasts.

The energy contained within these two crystal cores is far more abundant and pure than anything before.

Just as he was about to carefully sense it, the Eternal Night King Martial Soul within his dantian suddenly trembled violently. An unprecedented sense of longing, accompanied by a vague directional guidance, was clearly transmitted into his mind.

Xiao Han's expression shifted slightly as he gazed deeper into the secret realm.

There, a thick, almost impenetrable dark purple mist rose and fell, obscuring everything.

Could it be... some extraordinary opportunity?

The trembling of the Eternal Night King Martial Soul grew increasingly urgent, much like a child who hadn't eaten for three days seeing candy, urging him to venture deeper into the dark purple fog.

The chaos and purity of the energy in that area far exceeded that of before.

Xiao Han pushed the "Shadow Void Scripture" to its limit, his figure nimbly weaving through broken rocks and twisted spatial crevices, avoiding some wandering beasts whose auras were clearly not weak.

The closer one gets to that thick fog, the heavier the oppressive feeling in the air becomes, as if a slumbering, ancient ferocious beast lies dormant within, making one unconsciously hold their breath.

After passing a giant, dark purple crystal that shimmered with an eerie light, the thick fog ahead was already within arm's reach, no more than a hundred meters away.

Just as he was about to press on and burst in to investigate—

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Three extremely sharp whistling sounds shot out simultaneously from the left, right, and rear directions without warning!

The timing was incredibly precise, precisely at the moment when his previous strength had just been exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated.

It's not a strange beast!

The force carried in this strong wind was clearly the spiritual power unique to human Martial Artists!

Xiao Han's scalp tingled, and almost instinctively, he activated the "A Step to the Ends of the Earth" footwork, his Eternal Night King Martial Soul power condensing into a thin, cicada-wing-like shadow shield on his body.

His entire body twisted suddenly in a posture that no ordinary person could possibly do.

A dark blue wind blade narrowly grazed his cheek, leaving his skin stinging.

At the same time, he brought two fingers of his left hand together like a sword, and a condensed Green Lotus Sword Qi energy shot out, colliding violently with a short spear that was attacking from the left, creating a small patch of dazzling light.

His right hand shot out with lightning speed and firmly caught a short arrow that shimmered with an eerie green light, which was shot from the right.

The insidious power attached to the arrow was instantly neutralized by the Chaos Green Lotus power emanating from his palm upon contact.
