Bloodstained Secret Land

The sun had set, and the swamp was dark and Death Qi, devoid of any wild beasts or monsters. Some strange trees stretched out their branches, their leaves sparse, but their flower buds densely packed.

Wang Xuan and Old Chen drank quite a bit of the Earth Immortal Spring, and the various hidden injuries from their fall and impact were almost healed.

They made up their minds that after breaking through outside, they would return to the vicinity of the Earth Immortal City to seek revenge.

"If I kill them, I'll get just as many Jade Talisman as Old Zhong. Thinking about that old guy's life, it really warms my heart," Old Chen sighed.

Old Zhong is staying in the Earth Immortal City, watching the turmoil outside the city. He's probably already having a few drinks. It makes you want to drag him out and give him a good beating.

"After obtaining the fortune of the Earth Immortal City, we need to find a way back to New Star. We can't stay here for long," Wang Xuan said.

Old Chen nodded. The secret realm was too dangerous. People from three Supernatural Planet were now joining forces to kill them, along with law enforcement officers who didn't follow the Rules, and all sorts of unpredictable variables deep within the secret realm. One wrong move and they would be devoured.

As darkness fell, the stars twinkled, and the swamp was gloomy and pitch black.

"Hmm?" The two sensed something and saw a hazy halo appearing and disappearing deep in the swamp.

They were astonished and walked forward to find the source of the Light Source.

It was a large tree that seemed to be shrouded in mist and glow at night, emitting a soft light and a fresh, fragrant scent, which was quite sacred.

As they left the bird's belly, they were still talking about how the Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. Now, they were both surprised to suddenly discover an unusual tree.

"Old Chen, your opportunity has arrived, but you'd better shave your head first, then you can perfectly replicate the path of your predecessors."

That big tree is over thirty meters tall, with rough bark, but it has a crystalline sheen. Now the tree is full of buds, and the fragrance is wonderful.

A night breeze blew, and countless orbs of light, like candle flames, drifted in all directions, including towards the two of them.

"Dandelion?" Wang Xuan asked in surprise.

After the big tree blossoms, countless snow-white "little umbrellas" fill the sky, carrying a peaceful halo, and approach them.

Wang Xuan caught a small umbrella with his hand, and then... Sudden Change occurred!

The three-inch-tall, snow-white umbrella, upon touching his skin, suddenly took root and burrowed in rapidly. Its roots were tougher than iron wire, like sharp blades piercing through flesh and blood!

"Old Chen, there's something wrong with this!" Wang Xuan warned immediately, his expression extremely serious.

The small umbrella almost pierced his palm. His body was filled with secret power, radiating a dazzling light, and he looked as solemn and dignified as an immortal or Immortals and Buddhas.

Then, a ball of true fire rose from his palm, refining the small umbrella until it exploded, turning into a strange energy that dissipated into the world.

Old Chen had already been affected; a small umbrella-like appendage had taken root in his arm, drawing blood. Fortunately, his Sixteen-Foot Golden Body Technique was a secret Buddhism art; golden light flowed, shattering the appendage's roots, and then flames rose, refining it.

The two were certain that anyone without protective divine skills would be unable to withstand the attack of this small umbrella and would die a terrible death.

This place is forbidden to many extraordinary individuals!

"We were almost killed by a bird!" The two quickly backed away from the strange tree.

Soon, they realized something was wrong. The strange trees around them lit up, shining brightly from trunk to branch, and the tiny flower buds rapidly expanded, growing several times larger. It was practically a replica of the strange tree from before.

The two men's expressions changed. They hadn't expected that even trees could have a second form and suddenly "transform." No wonder this place Death Qi; any creature that entered would die!

"Escape!"

The two did their best to raise their secret power to the limit and escape towards the outside of the swamp, never expecting that a strange bird would almost kill them.

Along the way, clusters of small, white umbrellas glowed and drifted, actively seeking out creatures and constantly flying towards them.

Moments later, the entire swamp was dazzlingly bright, many trees blossomed, and the two of them were covered in a dense layer of flowers, as if they were wearing a thick cotton coat, and they were completely submerged.

Amidst swirling flames and flashing lightning, they used their secret power to cleanse the tiny umbrellas around their bodies, closing all their pores, yet they still felt as if countless sharp blades were piercing their insides.

Half an hour later, they escaped the swamp and spent a great deal of effort to completely remove the small umbrella from their bodies.

They were still shaken; the creatures in the secret realm were too strange, and there were things everywhere that could endanger their lives.

They quickly disappeared without leaving a trace. Since that strange bird was so treacherous, it might have betrayed them. Powerful Supernatural Being can communicate across species.

They sped away until they reached a high mountain and looked back. Their hearts pounded. In the distance, a strange golden bird and a black-winged raven landed outside the swamp.

"The enforcers!" Old Chen's expression changed; he had seen that crow more than once and recognized it at a glance.

More than a dozen people jumped off the crow's back. They were all experts in herb gathering and Life Soil Realm, and all of them had once chased after the two.

Then, a huge owl flew over, and more than a dozen people jumped off its back. They were all acquaintances, including Jiang Xuan, Yuan Kun, and Mu Xue.

"Another law enforcer!" Old Chen's expression changed. People from three Supernatural Planet had colluded with law enforcers and found the swamp.

Clearly, those people found the strange bird through their connections with law enforcement and asked it to lead them to the swamp.

"They're both the referee and the executioner. Once we break through, we'll definitely settle accounts with them and kill a few of the enforcers!" Wang Xuan looked into the distance.

This isn't the first time. From Black Horned Beast to mastiffs, and now even Giant Raven and other ferocious birds of prey have appeared, making the situation in the Earth Immortal City quite complicated.

Old Chen's face was also grim. He said, "We've split up to escape, and the worst-case scenario isn't that they've brought in these ferocious birds to help them. If they bring in monsters like mastiffs next time, they'll track us down by scent, and none of us will escape. We need to break through this barrier as soon as possible."

"Can you manage without me as your protector?" Wang Xuan glanced at him.

Old Chen said, "Mind your own business. With my understanding of the Lantern Burning Realm, I feel that the secret power I can use has reached its limit, and my combat strength has increased dramatically. I can now fight against cultivators at the Life Earth level. As long as I break through another level, I will have no fear of opponents at the Herb Gathering level!"

"I think that if I go all out and combine my Spiritual Wonders with my physical body, I can fight against most cultivators at the Life Earth level." Wang Xuan estimated his combat strength.

The geniuses he defeated were all Supernatural Practitioner the Burning Lamp level, so it wasn't too difficult for him.

Old Chen's face darkened; he didn't want to talk to him anymore. Was the Number One Person in the Old Earth about to change hands so quickly?

Finally, he said, "I have repeatedly used my Mental Secret Power and have seen a glimpse of the vague Mental World. I think that sooner or later I will be able to capture some 'miracles' in this Great Realm of the Human World."

The two decided to go their separate ways to avoid being caught in a crossfire.

Wang Xuan gave him a large amount of Earth Immortal Spring. Old Chen carried a lot of gourds on his back and gave him a crystal of Earth Immortal Spring, solemnly telling him that it was for saving his life and was priceless.

"I'll give you half of the Jade Talisman too!" Wang Xuan handed it to him, afraid that if he fell into the hands of the enemy, it would benefit those people.

Old Chen carried his spear and quickly disappeared into the distance.

Wang Xuan chose a direction and plunged into the dense forest, disappearing without a trace, like a ghost.

The two fled for their lives, seeking safe places to seclude themselves.

At dawn, Wang Xuan faced the rising sun in a dense forest and slowly unleashed the second True Form Diagrams, immersing himself completely in it. He wanted to thoroughly master this extraordinary scripture!

As he continued to stretch his body, the second true form became more and more perfect!

After all, he had mastered the parts involving the internal organs, so the remaining parts were no longer so dangerous.

Soon after, he cautiously stopped his practice, feeling something was amiss, and quickly left the place. During this time, he crossed rivers and swam across large lakes several times, erasing his traces and scent, and moved to one place after another.

At noon, Wang Xuan coughed up blood, but quickly drank Earth Immortal Spring to regulate his condition. He was fine afterward!

Then, he changed locations again.

As evening fell and the sun set, his body glowed, resonated throughout, and his internal organs throbbed. In the dim light, all the strange sights of his body appeared, the textures on his skin intertwined, and then contracted back into those strange sights!

The next day, in front of a large lake, Wang Xuan bathed in the morning glow, his body trembling slightly. Strange scenery materialized around him, swirling and floating around his body.

His strength improved significantly, and he jumped directly from the special juncture between the middle and late stages of the Mist to the Misty Realm Peak.

He was almost completely mastering the second True Form Diagrams, at which point he would be able to step into the Lantern Burning Domain.

Around noon, he sat quietly under a waterfall, pondering the final chapter of the second True Form Diagrams.

In the past two days, he has changed locations countless times, wary of the spirit beasts' keen sense of smell, fearing that the monster enforcers might find him.

In the afternoon, the sky darkened, and dark clouds rolled in. Wang Xuan stood up, looked up at the sky, and said, "Let it rain, to erase all the traces I left on the road!"

In the distance, a strange movement came. Wang Xuan's pupils contracted. He realized there was a problem. In the end, the other party had found him by casting a wide net.

These people went to great lengths to kill him, mobilizing a large force, determined not to give up until he was dead.

An Old Wolf stood proudly on the earthen slope in front of him, staring at him coldly. Beside it were several extraordinary individuals: two experts at the Life Soil Realm and three at the Burning Lamp Realm.

Upon seeing him, these people said nothing and attacked with lightning speed!

Wang Xuan's eyes were cold as he fixed his gaze on the Old Wolf, which was at the Earthly Realm level and most likely an enforcer.

Sure enough, the Old Wolf emitted a mental fluctuation and spoke in a chilling voice, "Alien, you have no right to appear in the secret realm. As an enforcer, I will kill you without mercy!"

Wang Xuan was too lazy to argue. The White Peacock had given him the Jade Talisman, acknowledging his qualifications. What right did this Old Wolf have to say that? He had simply colluded with the people from three Supernatural Planet, and after receiving benefits, he was now working in cahoots with them.

Boom!

He launched his attack, not confronting the several superhumans, but instead evading their encirclement and breaking through to kill the old Old Wolf.

"Come on, let's kill him together!" Old Wolf said, not dodging, but using himself as bait to wait for the others to come and kill him together.

Most importantly, it was confident in its own strength. Having accumulated decades of experience in the Life Soil Realm, its cultivation was profound, and it did not believe that someone at the Mist Realm could kill it.

This time, Wang Xuan wasn't fighting back, but desperately trying to kill it. With this Old Wolf around, he would have nowhere to hide and would be found by its scent.

He went all out, and even after reaching the Supernatural Domain, he had never revealed all the wonders: the suspended islands, the immortal mountains, the blue lakes that turned into seas, the lava fields with flames soaring into the sky... all of them were condensed together with his spirit and blasted forward.

"Awooo!" The Old Wolf let out a shrill howl. Its spirit had been partially broken, and it staggered and almost fell.

Wang Xuan used his physical body to withstand a flying sword thrown from behind, blocking the attack. He left an afterimage as he rushed towards the Old Wolf.

The short sword in his hand emitted a blinding beam of light, and with a soft thud, severed the Old Wolf's head, ending its life while it was still dazed.

He killed a law enforcement officer!

A fierce battle broke out here. Wang Xuan, stained with blood, fiercely and ruthlessly killed a Supernatural Practitioner at the Earthly Realm level. Before leaving, he beheaded a Supernatural Practitioner the Burning Lamp level and turned to leave.

This achievement stunned the group, turning them pale with fright.

It wasn't that Wang Xuan wanted to let the remaining people go, but rather that he felt a strong unease, sensing that someone who posed a threat to his life was rapidly approaching, so he left.

Sure enough, Dao Body appeared in the distance. It was the expert at the herb-gathering level, whose flying sword had been broken by Wang Xuan. He arrived as if flying. After seeing his back, his eyes turned cold and he gave chase without saying a word.

Wang Xuan possessed extraordinary spiritual perception and realized that it was this person who had caught up with him. His heart sank immediately; he was truly no match for this man now.

As you can see, the distance between the two is constantly closing. The expert at the herb-gathering level is incredibly powerful, as if he is flying close to the ground.

"You're not leaving!" he said coldly, his gaze turning icy as he watched the approaching figure.

On a hilltop, Yuan Kun looked out and saw this scene. He sneered repeatedly. That alien was finally going to die.

On another mountain peak, Ou Yun and Ou Yuxuan both breathed a sigh of relief. The man was finally about to be killed, and the inglorious nightmare was over.

"He's about to die. Use his short sword to replace the flying sword he broke!" Jiang Xuan said to Mu Xue. The two of them were also in this area.

They realized that Wang Xuan had escaped to this area and joined forces to surround him.

"Kill!" shouted the expert at the herb gathering level, unleashing Broken Sword as thin as a cicada's wing, barely two inches long, which emitted a blinding beam of light as it slashed towards Wang Xuan.

"Even with Broken Sword, I'll still take your head!" he said coldly.

Wang Xuan was forced to dodge and parry with his short sword, but the Broken Sword appeared like a ghost, slashing rapidly.

Puff!

In the end, Wang Xuan was struck by the blinding sword light. The Broken Sword spewed out a beam of light, which actually broke his defenses. It grazed his head and fell, slicing through his flesh.

Blood splattered as Wang Xuan suffered a severe injury. If it weren't for the fact that all the strange phenomena within his body appeared at the critical moment and condensed together with his flesh to stop the Broken Sword, he would have been cleaved in two.

Even so, Wang Xuan's arm was almost severed. As the flying sword vibrated, it cut a horrific wound down his shoulder.

The beam of light emanating from the Broken Sword pierced nearly fifteen centimeters deep before being knocked away by the strange sight.

Wang Xuan turned around and took a deep look at the herb-gathering expert. One of his arms looked very unnatural, as if it had almost been severed. He fled forward.

"The secret power and wonders in the blood actually damaged the runes on my flying sword?!" The expert at the herb gathering level was shocked.

He quickly gave chase. The more this happened, the more he couldn't let this young man go. He absolutely couldn't give him a chance to grow and break through; he had to nip it in the bud.

Ahead, a gigantic beehive blocked the way, as tall as a mountain. It was Silver Wasp Nest, where Old Zhong had once slaughtered a group of superhumans.

Wang Xuan sighed. He had been driven to a dead end, with the terrifying Silver Bee in front of him and a formidable enemy of the Herb Gathering level behind him.

He could only lament that different people in the same place have different fates. Old Zhong had pulled off a ruthless and brilliant move here, but was he destined to die here?

He took the large bow from his back, a trophy he had seized from Xiong Kun. Despite the pain of his arm nearly being severed, he drew out several explosive arrows, aimed them at the beehive, and then fired them all!

All the Arrow Feather struck the hive, causing a terrifying explosion. These rune arrows are designed to unleash their strongest energy instantly.

Several parts of the beehive exploded, and some areas even caught fire.

The expert in herbalism felt a chill run down his spine and turned to flee. He would never risk his life to kill someone.

Wang Xuan did not turn around. Instead, he took advantage of the moment before Yin Feng rushed out and continued running forward. He was already close by. Then he quickly circled around and came to the side of the hive.

"Huh?!" He saw the bottom of the hive, an old, abandoned area, and decisively crawled inside!

Boom!

Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and a heavy rain began to fall. Some silver peaks rushed out, chasing after the figure of the herb-gathering expert.

"It's raining. Heaven has finally given me a chance to live. I will settle accounts with you!" Wang Xuan whispered, hiding in the abandoned beehive, taking out a crystal from the Earth Immortal Spring, and swallowing it in one gulp.

This month is almost over, so I'm asking for my last monthly votes! I'm requesting your support, fellow readers!
