The next moment, the boiling spiritual energy moved.
In an instant, like an ocean current pouring backward, it crazily cascaded into the depths of Heavenly Maiden Peak.
The spiritual energy gathering all around also vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Such a quantity of absorption.
Such a speed of absorption.
Was he really breaking through to the Heavenly Human Realm?
Everyone present watched it all, their breathing growing hurried.
Because of the disturbance in the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Maiden Sacred Land, Ji Youyue and the others were alarmed as well. They rushed out from their respective peaks.
When they saw the world-shaking manifestation appearing in the sky, all of them revealed looks of shock.
Was Young Master Ye making a breakthrough?
What terrifying talent!!!
Ji Youyue and the others did not linger either, flying together toward Heavenly Maiden Peak.
In merely dozens of breaths, the spiritual energy gathered in midair was absorbed clean.
Even the spiritual energy reserves of the Heavenly Maiden Sacred Land were forcibly dragged over and absorbed dry.
Boom!!!
With an explosive sound, Chen Wen finally achieved his breakthrough. The Yin-Yang Qi within his body successively evolved into Heavenly Human Power.
One Heavenly Human Manifestation after another appeared in layers across the sky.
Among these Heavenly Human Manifestations—
There was a peerless martial artist who could guard a pass alone, holding back ten thousand men.
There was an invincible Sword God who split the heavens with one sword and proved the Dao through slaughter.
There was an ancient Divine Venerable who shattered ten thousand laws with a single thought and evolved heaven-reaching martial arts.
There was...
In the end, the Heavenly Human Manifestations reached a full ninety-nine, standing together in the vast heavenly domain and stirring up the calamity signs of eternity.
Ninety-nine Heavenly Human Manifestations?
What kind of monster was this?
Ji Youyue and the others watched in terrified shock, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Even in the legends of the mortal world, there had never been ninety-nine Heavenly Human Manifestations, had there?
It could be said that everything before them had already surpassed their current understanding.
Lou Lan Shengxue stared blankly, the shock in her eyes beyond words.
Ninety-nine Heavenly Human Manifestations.
And not a single one was repeated.
That was the most terrifying part.
Back then, she had only evolved fifty-nine.
For that reason, the Loulan Ancient Kingdom had specifically elevated her status to Saintess and bestowed upon her the title of First Sequence.
Compared to this Young Master Ye, was she truly a genius?
At this moment, even someone as wise as her could not help but doubt herself.
"Who was it? Which motherfucker sucked all the spiritual energy dry?"
Just as everyone remained immersed in shock, an enraged roar rang through the heavens and exploded in every person's ears.
This was...
Everyone turned to look.
Boom!
The sky suddenly burst apart, and a terrifying Life-Death Power surged outward.
Blood-red killing intent surged into the heavens, dyeing half the sky crimson.
Who was this person?
What terrifying killing intent.
The same thought rose in every disciple's heart.
Boom!
The next moment, a figure wrapped in blood-red killing intent charged out from nearby, shaking the sky without end.
This person did not seem to be a disciple of our sect, did he?
When they saw the figure clearly, all the disciples' expressions changed.
Ji Youyue and the others had already turned as grim as still water.
Just moments ago, they had truly thought another disciple of their sacred land had done something foolish again.
But upon seeing that the newcomer was not a disciple of their sacred land, they could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
"Who is this person? Do you know him?" Ji Youyue turned to Jiang Qingren.
Because the man had rushed out from the Fairy Peak range.
Jiang Qingren hurriedly said, "His name is Zhao Tianlong. He is a disciple I encountered during one of my expeditions."
"Among those of his age, not only does he possess a self-respecting and self-reliant disposition, but his talent is also exceptional."
"I believed he was a rare talent, so I took it upon myself to bring him back to the peak range."
"Then why did you not report it?" Ji Youyue asked gravely.
"Because Young Master Ye happened to arrive, I simply forgot," Jiang Qingren hurriedly said.
"Have you investigated his background and everything else?" Ji Youyue asked again.
Jiang Qingren nodded at once. "It has been investigated. He is merely a disciple from humble origins."
Ji Youyue gave Jiang Qingren a deep look.
Jiang Qingren was good in every way, except she was far too indignant at the injustices of the world.
In particular, she held a natural fondness for those who were self-respecting, self-reliant, and born in humble circumstances.
If not for her brother Jiang Taichu, Ji Youyue would have expelled her long ago.
People like this did have their virtues, but their shortcomings were even more obvious. They could very easily bring about great disaster.
Thinking this, Ji Youyue still decided to give Jiang Qingren a chance. "Handle this person properly. I do not want him to disturb Young Master Ye. Otherwise, both of you can atone with your lives."
"Understood."
Jiang Qingren hurriedly replied.
"So it was an ant who had just broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm that stole my spiritual energy."
"And he even evolved ninety-nine Heavenly Human Manifestations. A genius—an unparalleled genius, at that."
At this point, Zhao Tianlong's voice turned cold and sinister. "I, Zhao Tianlong, love killing unparalleled geniuses like this."
As his words fell, the towering killing intent within him erupted once more.
Seeing Zhao Tianlong in such a state, Jiang Qingren's expression changed slightly.
In her impression, Zhao Tianlong had always been a sunny young man, self-respecting and self-reliant, and considerate toward others.
How had he suddenly become so cold, sinister, and jealous?
Yet Jiang Qingren quickly began talking herself through it again.
Zhao Tianlong's anger was understandable.
After all, whoever had their spiritual energy stolen at the critical moment of a breakthrough would react the same way, would they not?
With that thought, Jiang Qingren stepped forward and blocked Zhao Tianlong.
"You want to stop me?" Zhao Tianlong's cold gaze locked directly onto Jiang Qingren.
"You..." Seeing Zhao Tianlong treat her like this, Jiang Qingren was both angry and vexed. Still, she took a deep breath and said, "I am saving you..."
"Hahaha, saving me? Bitch, aren't you taking yourself too seriously?"
Zhao Tianlong grew wanton as he spoke.
Since he had decided to tear all ties with the Heavenly Maiden Sacred Land, he no longer intended to pretend.
At worst, he would abduct Jiang Qingren in the end. Forcing her would have the same effect anyway.
"You really think you're some holy mother reincarnated? Do you know that all the ideas you kept stuffing into my head along the way made me want to puke?"
"If your bitch body did not still have some value, and if I did not want to try something fresh, did you really think I would fucking put up with you all the way here?"
"Get the hell out of my way. I'll deal with you later," Zhao Tianlong barked coldly.
"You, you, you... shameless!" Jiang Qingren pointed at Zhao Tianlong, her finger trembling violently.
It was the first time she had heard such vulgar words, and the first time she had been treated like this.
Most importantly, she had truly regarded Zhao Tianlong as a younger brother.
She had never expected him to be this kind of person.
At that moment, her worldview collapsed.
"Step aside. I will handle this." Jiang Taichu came to Jiang Qingren's side and patted her shoulder.
At this moment, Jiang Taichu's face had turned incomparably cold.
To him, whether it was to stand up for his sister or to protect Young Master Ye—
The best method was to kill Zhao Tianlong directly.
Otherwise, if Young Master Ye were endangered, the consequences would be enormous.
"Brother, I..." Jiang Qingren looked at Jiang Taichu with reddened eyes.
"Be good. I will handle this," Jiang Taichu said again.
"All right." Jiang Qingren walked to the side.
"Heavenly King Realm? This is getting interesting."
Zhao Tianlong tugged at the corner of his mouth, then said leisurely, "Elder You, I'll leave this person to you."
"All right." At that moment, an indifferent voice rang out from the void.
