The Profound Comprehension Realm Strikes

"You're asking for death!"

Bai Ye let out a cold snort. Instead of retreating, he advanced.

His left foot slammed into the ground, and his figure suddenly accelerated. Wind Chasing Shadow Stepping activated in an instant, leaving a faint afterimage in his original spot!

In the next moment, his right fist clenched tight. A crimson Fist Aura coalesced instantly, faint golden sword intent swirling around his knuckles.

This was the full-force strike born from merging the Sky Burning Fist with the ancient sword intent he had just comprehended!

The moment fist met palm, an earth-shattering explosion erupted!

The crimson Fist Aura burst forth like molten lava, tearing through Situ Nan's palm wind in an instant. Its momentum unchecked, it slammed into his right arm!

Crack!

The crisp sound of bone breaking rang out clearly!

Situ Nan's right arm twisted and deformed at a visible rate, blood gushing out like a fountain.

"Aaaah—!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed through Sword Intent Valley!

Situ Nan's face went pale with agony. He turned to flee, but his speed, before Wind Chasing Shadow Stepping, was as slow as a snail's!

Bai Ye's figure flickered, appearing behind him in an instant. Another fist shot out!

Thud!

The Fist Aura pierced straight through Situ Nan's chest, dragging a spray of blood.

His body crumpled limply to the ground, eyes wide open—clearly dying with lingering resentment.

From Situ Nan's attack to his death, no more than three breaths had passed!

A Peak Primordial Core Realm expert, slain in the blink of an eye!

"Next."

Bai Ye withdrew his fist, his gaze sweeping over the remaining few. His tone was as indifferent as if he were mentioning some trivial matter. "Or all of you, come at once."

Gulp...

The remaining few turned deathly pale, cold sweat trickling down their cheeks. A swallowing sound escaped their throats.

The Ninth Prince stared at Situ Nan's corpse, terror flooding his eyes. All his earlier arrogance was gone. He spun around and fled, pushing his Spiritual Energy to the limit, vanishing into the mist at the valley entrance in the blink of an eye.

The other three snapped out of their daze as well, shrieking as they scattered in all directions, not even daring to glance back.

Sword Intent Valley fell into instant dead silence.

The cultivators who had come to watch the spectacle were now trembling all over, backing away one after another, their gazes at Bai Ye filled with awe!

That was a Peak Primordial Core Realm expert!

And he was killed like a stray dog?

Just what kind of monster was this young man in the gray-blue robe?

Bai Ye watched the fleeing figures of the few men, making no move to pursue.

His priority now was to find a place to digest the Heaven Tier Inheritance.

He bent down, pulled out the Purple Firmament Sword, and was about to turn and leave—when suddenly, a bone-chilling coldness descended from above!

Boom—!

The space rippled violently, and a sturdy figure materialized in midair!

It was a man with graying hair and beard, wearing a black Daoist robe identical to Situ Nan's, embroidered with the emblem of the Black Mountain Sect.

Terrifying Spiritual Energy swirled around him. With every breath, he stirred the surrounding heaven and earth's energy into violent turbulence. His murky eyes locked onto Bai Ye, brimming with murderous intent.

"Where did this beast come from! How dare you kill a cultivator of my Black Mountain Sect! You seek death!"

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching by the author—maybe it's just been renamed!

The man roared, his voice carrying the unique authority of a Profound Comprehension Realm cultivator. It rattled the eardrums of the cultivators at the valley entrance, forcing them to their knees, none daring to lift their heads.

The next second, the man raised his right hand and pressed it down toward Bai Ye!

Hum—!

Spiritual Energy in the sky converged wildly, forming a Giant Hand that blotted out the sun!

The hand was a faint gold, its palm lines clearly visible. Every single line contained a terrifying Dao resonance, as if it could suppress all things!

The Giant Hand slowly parted the clouds, carrying the crushing weight of Mount Tai, and slammed down toward Bai Ye!

"Profound Comprehension Realm! That's definitely a Profound Comprehension Realm expert!"

"Heavens! The Black Mountain Sect actually has a Profound Comprehension Realm expert nearby!"

"That young man is finished! The Primordial Core Realm and the Profound Comprehension Realm are worlds apart!"

The cultivators at the valley entrance screamed in terror, scattering in all directions.

Among them were many seasoned individuals who understood the horror of the Profound Comprehension Realm!

That was an existence capable of drawing upon the world's spiritual energy and wielding a portion of the laws of power. Before the Profound Comprehension Realm, a Primordial Core Realm cultivator was as fragile as an ant!

"It's over, it's over. In the end, this Heaven Tier Inheritance will still fall into the hands of the Black Mountain Sect." A cultivator shook his head and sighed, his eyes filled with regret.

Midair, the man from the Black Mountain Sect looked down at the tiny figure of Bai Ye below, a cruel smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

In his view, with this palm strike, his opponent was as good as dead, and the Heaven Tier Inheritance would be his for the taking.

Bai Ye looked up at the Giant Hand descending upon him, his heart heavy with extreme gravity.

So this is the Profound Comprehension Realm? He could clearly feel that as the Giant Hand fell, the space around him was sealed off, and the Wind Chasing Shadow Stepping could barely be activated. "The control over spiritual energy, the application of laws... it's indeed far beyond the Primordial Core Realm!"

Yet he did not give up.

Just as the Giant Hand was about to land on his head, he suddenly thrust the "Purple Firmament Sword" horizontally before him, simultaneously channeling his full cultivation base. The spiritual energy within his body instantly merged with the sword intent within the blade!

"Slash!"

Bai Ye let out a low shout, and the longsword in his hand lashed out fiercely!

A dazzling golden Sword Qi shot up into the sky, carrying within it the dual might of ancient sword intent and surging spiritual energy, crashing straight into the Giant Hand!

Boom--!

The golden Sword Qi collided with the Giant Hand, erupting in a deafening explosion!

Though the Sword Qi was crushed by the Giant Hand, it still managed to slow the hand's descent.

That was the opening he needed!

Bai Ye instantly activated the Wind Chasing Shadow Stepping, while simultaneously pulling out a pre-prepared "Stealth Talisman" and crushing it.

His form transformed into a blur of afterimages in an instant. Taking advantage of the chaotic spiritual energy stirred up by the Giant Hand's fall, he slipped into a crevice in the cliff wall deep within the Sword Intent Valley, at the same time suppressing all of his aura.

The Giant Hand crashed down, slamming into the very spot where Bai Ye had stood!

Boom!

Dust and smoke billowed. The ground sank dozens of meters, forming a massive palm print. The ancient trees around were all snapped, and rubble flew everywhere.

"An ignorant fool." The Black Mountain Sect man snorted coldly. His figure flickered, and he landed beside the palm print, ready to collect Bai Ye's corpse.

But the next second, his brow furrowed tightly.

"Hm? Where's the corpse?"

The Black Mountain Sect man unfurled his Spiritual Sense, meticulously searching every inch of the surrounding ground. However, the dense sword intent and chaotic spiritual energy within the secret realm greatly suppressed his perception!

His Spiritual Sense, which could normally cover dozens of miles, could now only extend a hundred meters.

A few seconds later, his expression turned extremely ugly. Grinding his teeth, he growled, "Damn it! The suppression of this Azure Spirit Secret Realm is too strong! That bastard actually got away!"

The cultivators at the valley entrance stared at the empty ground, stunned as well.

That young man had actually escaped from the hands of a Profound Comprehension Realm expert?!
