Chen Wang easily slipped into the cave abode of the Skull Real Person.

Bai Erjie took Chen Wang's hand with her delicate, fair hands, intending to lead him to explore the cave abode.

This cave abode dwelling was extremely large, with many living quarters, and looked like the mansion of a wealthy family.

However, what lies hidden beneath this glamorous facade is a scene of bloodshed and countless bones.

Bai Erjie tugged at Chen Wang, but couldn't budge him. She chuckled foolishly, "Why aren't you leaving, you idiot? Are you going to stay and talk to my father?"

Chen Wang smiled broadly.

At this moment, Bai Erjie's collar was slightly open, which was very attractive, but he didn't care and stared at the Skull Real Person.

The next moment, he threw a punch!

The Skull Real Person sensed something was wrong and quickly dodged, but the fist still landed on his chest.

The punch came too fast and from too close; he was completely unprepared.

With a crack, his ribs broke, and he let out a painful groan.

Bai Erjie stood there stunned, not knowing what had happened.

Chen Wang's attack was extremely ruthless; his Divine Sense surged out and crushed the Skull Real Person with a whoosh.

The Skull Real Person's Divine Sense was also extremely profound. He was originally a spirit who had attained enlightenment, and even after taking a punch from Chen Wang, he only broke Root Bone.

If it were anyone else, their body would have been blown to pieces by that punch.

But at that moment, a flash of light appeared in Chen Wang's hand, and a purple-gold war hammer appeared in his hand.

With overwhelming momentum, he slammed into the Skull Real Person again!

The Skull Real Person was shattered in several places and was thrown backward, crashing into the cave abode with a loud thud.

The cave abode, which was originally a place of peace and prosperity, has now had its facade torn away.

The entire cave abode was littered with white bones, exuding a strong stench of blood and shrouded in Sha Qi.

The Skull Real Person form, its eyes flashing red light, and it spoke in human language.

Who are you?

But before he could finish speaking, Chen Wang slammed his hammer down again! This Purple Gold Hammer was Law Treasure of the Dragon Family, and after being refined by Chen Wang, its attack power was extremely strong. At this moment, it unleashed an astonishing power.

With a loud bang, he smashed the entire cave abode.

Chen Wang remained silent and continued to smash the hammer one blow after another.

The Skull Real Person Master was actually stronger than Chen Wang.

Although everyone else was at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, his early stage was the result of years of accumulation. He was highly skilled in using various Law Technique, and his methods were unpredictable and difficult to defend against.

However, he had not yet recovered from the serious injury inflicted by the passing swordsman, and was then injured by Chen Wang's surprise attack, thus putting him at a disadvantage for a time.

At this moment, Bai Erjie let out a shrill cry, her long hair flying wildly, and pounced on Chen Wang.

Normally, she would have chosen to withdraw from a battle at this level.

However, Chen Wang's previous deception was so strong that she felt extremely ashamed and angry, and she suddenly pounced on him.

Chen Wang, however, showed no mercy to women, especially not a Skull Demon.

Flames enveloped him, and then spread outwards from him.

"Aaaaaah!"

Bai Erjie was burned by the flames and immediately began to suffer greatly.

Chen Wang turned around and smashed her body with a punch.

Bang! The Skull Demon that had gained sentience was smashed to pieces by him and quickly burned to ashes by the true fire.

At this moment, Chen Wang's Divine Sense once again transformed into a sharp sword and slashed out.

Whoosh! The Skull Real Person fought against him, multitasking, having to contend with both his powerful Divine Sense and combat techniques, as well as Chen Wang's Purple Gold Hammer.

He was surrounded by a chilling Yin Qi, but under Chen Wang's relentless attacks, he was quickly overwhelmed.

Chen Wang unleashed the full power of the Purple Gold Hammer, causing the Skull Real Person's body to crack inch by inch.

"Who exactly are you?"

The Skull Real Person is furious!

Because he was seriously injured, he was unable to use his skills and was forced into a disadvantageous position by this young man, finding himself in a precarious situation.

Chen Wang remained silent as the Purple Gold Hammer emitted a dazzling light and was swung around by Chen Wang.

His Qi and Blood flowed beneath his skin, and his muscles were incredibly strong. With a powerful hammer blow, he knocked the Skull Real Person back with a bang!

The red light in the Skull Real Person's eyes suddenly intensified, enveloping the entire cave abode in a crimson glow.

He finally seized an opening and withstood a heavy blow from Chen Wang, unleashing a terrifying attack while risking serious injury!

But Chen Wang immediately summoned the Dao Dust Pearl.

Protected by the mystical light, he suffered no harm.

Instead, he seized the opportunity to strike again! The Skull Real Person lost the initiative and suffered repeated defeats, and was quickly killed by Chen Wang.

The entire cave abode was shaken violently by the attack, with rocks rolling down.

After the Old Devil at the Golden Core Stage was completely killed, a jet-black bead fell to the ground, shimmering with a ghostly light. It was perfectly round and contained pure spiritual power. This was a Soul Bead, comparable to the Inner Core of Demon Beast beast.

He was killed by Chen Wang before he could even use his skills.

It's so frustrating!

Chen Wang put away the Soul Pearl and then put the Skull Real Person's body into his Storage Bag.

The Storage Bag cannot accept living creatures; the Skull Real Person is indeed completely dead.

The Skull Real Person had a ring on his body that looked like an ordinary iron ring, but it was actually his Storage Artifact.

Among them were Law Treasure, which they hadn't even had time to use.

Bai Erjie originally planned to have a one-night stand with Chen Wang, drain him dry, and then offer him to the Skull Real Person.

But the Skull Real Person has now been killed by Chen Wang, leaving nothing behind.

Chen Wang's Divine Sense spread out and found several unconscious young people in the cave abode.

These were all captured by Bai Erjie. They were somewhat thin and were still unconscious.

Chen Wang casually rescued the young men.

There was nothing of value in this cave abode.

He then set the cave abode ablaze.

Whoosh! His flames were extremely fierce, capable of even burning away Divine Sense.

The demonic blood within the cave abode was quickly burned away completely.

With a gentle wave of his hand, a breeze swept by, and the several thin young men immediately woke up.

There was a look of panic in their eyes.

Having been captured by that woman, he knew he was doomed, but unexpectedly, a young man appeared before him.

Meanwhile, the original Skull Cave was engulfed in flames, the fire reaching the sky in a truly astonishing display.

The firelight illuminated the young man's face, making him appear somewhat grim.

"May I ask how I should address you, brother?" a young man asked.

"I, Yun Zhongzi, traveled here and saw that the demonic energy here was soaring to the sky. So I killed this Old Devil and saved you. You should leave quickly."

Chen Wang's tone was very calm, which startled the others.

As soon as Chen Wang released his aura slightly, the three of them immediately knelt down and shouted "True Person!"

The man who had just called out to Chen Wang as "brother" turned ashen-faced and kept kowtowing, saying, "I was ignorant! I didn't know the True Person was here. I offended you with my words earlier. I beg the True Person to forgive me!"

Chen Wang said calmly, "Ignorance is no excuse. The Old Devil has been killed and her cave abode burned to the ground. This place will be my dojo from now on. You don't need to say anything more after you leave."

The young men quickly said, "Thank you True Person, for saving our lives!"

This Yun Zhongzi doesn't seem easy to get along with, but what Golden Core Stage Cultivator is easy to get along with?

After being rescued by Chen Wang, everyone left, filled with gratitude.

Chen Wang was attracted by the rich Spiritual Qi of Spirit Void Mountain.

There is a Spirit Vein in Spirit Void Mountain, and the cave abode of the Skull Real Person is built on the Spirit Vein to draw Spiritual Qi.

Chen Wang has already destroyed that cave abode, so now he just needs to find another place to build another cave abode.

"If we hadn't taken advantage of this opportunity, and launched a fierce attack to fight him head-on, even if we had won, it would have been a Pyrrhic victory, and we might not have been able to capture him."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

He sent a message to Gu Xin Yue, and Gu Xin Yue they chose a place in Spirit Void Mountain to build cave abode, which happened to be located on Spirit Vein.

Mountains and terrain form natural feng shui and natural formations.

Now that Chen Wang has reached this level, he naturally has some senses and easily selected the location.

After clearing out the cave abode, Gu Xin Yue said with some delight, "There must be a lot of spirit medicine in this mountain. I can sense several special auras, and their medicinal power is very strong!"

Chen Wang was also overjoyed; Gu Xin Yue was practically a human exploration device!

He was very satisfied with this and said with a smile, "Once we've settled down, let's go into the mountains and quickly find the medicine."

Gu Xin Yue nodded, filled with anticipation.

Gu Xin Yue was somewhat surprised that an Old Devil at the Golden Core Stage was killed so easily.

Just like when Chen Wang killed Meng Tianxing, it made him feel that Golden Core Stage Cultivator were nothing special.

However, Gu Xin Yue soon regained her senses.

This Old Devil has lived here for many years without being killed, which shows that he is very powerful and feared.

The passing swordsman wanted to exorcise the demon, but in the end he had no choice but to give up, letting the Old Devil heal his wounds, which must have been quite severe.

"Ruthless and audacious," Gu Xin Yue thought to herself.

"He's such a bad person."

She felt that Chen Wang's thoughts and methods were perhaps far more wicked than that Old Devil's.

This Old Devil wasn't killed by Righteous Path people, but by a demon even more powerful than himself.

Thinking of this, Gu Xin Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Chen Wang was somewhat puzzled by her laughter.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Xin Yue smiled and said, "It's okay, I won't tell you."

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "What audacity! I have just opened cave abode and established a training ground, and you are so disrespectful. Tonight, I will first take your essence!"

Gu Xin Yue looked frightened, bit her lip, took a step back, and covered her chest.

Their expressions seemed to say, "Come on, eat me!" Amidst the mountains, the atmosphere between the young couple suddenly became somewhat romantic.

In the days that followed

After establishing his cave abode here, Chen Wang traveled extensively and found several more spirit medicine.

Naturally, he couldn't let go of the spirit medicine herbs easily. With Gu Xin Yue as his human detector, Chen Wang plundered all the spirit medicine in Spirit Void Mountain.

These spirit medicine are all extraordinary and greatly beneficial to cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm; they are rare treasures.

In a secluded spot here, a Ice Fire Lotus also grows.

Two flowers grew on it, one blue and one red.

The blue light released a chill, while the red light emitted a high temperature, causing the air to distort.

This flower has two different properties, which is very rare.

Gu Xin Yue was able to find medicine, so she naturally recognized many spirit medicine. She was quite surprised by this. "It is said that this Ice Fire Lotus is very beneficial to people who cultivate ice and fire attributes. They can basically master special innate supernatural Divine Ability after consuming it."

"This is a legendary antique."

Gu Xin Yue said.

"Aren't innate supernatural Divine Ability only possessed by some powerful demons?" Chen Wang asked.

"That's right, how can a person have innate supernatural Divine Ability? But this Ice Fire Lotus can break through this limit," Gu Xin Yue said.

Chen Wang was also very surprised that the two found this spirit medicine herb.

Moreover, there were no powerful Demon Beast guarding this spirit medicine.

Chen Wang sensed it and indeed found no movement.

But just as he stepped forward to grab it, a burst of flames suddenly erupted from the ground, nearly burning Chen Wang to ashes.

He has extremely strong fire resistance and is also Little Fire God who can manipulate flames, but the flames just now burned him with fear.

Chen Wang glanced at his clothes; several large holes had been burned through them, revealing his muscular physique.

"What happened?" Chen Wang asked.

Gu Xin Yue looked bewildered, with surprise in her eyes. "I don't know either. This kind of medicine is only recorded in ancient books, and the descriptions are vague."

"All right."

Chen Wang was not omniscient; he only had some knowledge and could not possibly know everything about this ancient artifact.

Chen Wang sensed the intensity of the flames just now, which was no less than the attack of Golden Core Stage cultivator, and he was somewhat shocked.

"I killed that Old Devil by taking advantage of his carelessness, but I didn't expect that I was not careful enough and almost fell into his trap."

Chen Wang calmed himself down, activated the Heart Cleansing Incantation, and his whole body became calm.

He then offered up the Dao Dust Pearl.

The Dao Dust Pearl flew onto his forehead, and rays of mysterious light fell down, protecting his entire body.

Under the divine light of the Dao Dust Pearl, Chen Wang went up again to collect the Ice Fire Lotus.

The next moment, the flames came back! Chen Wang felt a wave of heat hit him and his breathing became labored, but he was ultimately shielded by the divine light and was not burned.

"What powerful flames!"

Chen Wang thought to himself.

This flame was no ordinary fire, nor was it the same as the Earth Core Fire he had seen before; it was extraordinary.

At this moment, it gushed out, and Chen Wang immediately felt the pressure increase. He wanted to collect the Ice Fire Lotus immediately.

But the next moment a chill rushed out, one of ice and one of fire, and the mystical light on Chen Wang's body twisted and almost couldn't withstand it.

This Dao Dust Pearl is a Law Treasure, which can be blocked even by Golden Core Stage cultivator. However, it was almost unable to withstand just one ice and one fire.

The profound light of the Dao Dust Pearl in Chen Wang's hand almost shattered. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and poured all his Law Power into the Dao Dust Pearl, enduring the attack head-on! The Frost True Flame that erupted from this Ice Fire Lotus was extremely extraordinary.

As soon as Chen Wang approached the Ice Fire Lotus, the mystical light on his body dimmed and almost shattered.

"Damn it, I can't even get a single flower!"

Chen Wang hardened his heart and grabbed it directly.

The ice and fire clashed, and Chen Wang's mysterious light finally couldn't withstand it and shattered! But at this moment, Chen Wang also grabbed the Ice Fire Lotus and swiftly took it off.

The next moment, ice and fire rushed towards him. Chen Wang's True Qi Law Power surged out, but they could not withstand it.

However, at the last moment, Chen Wang summoned the Jin Chan Dharma Robe, and his whole body transformed into a golden light, shooting into the sky amidst the ice and fire, reaching a height of ten zhang.

The ice and fire had no effect on Chen Wang. If he had hesitated even slightly, he would probably have been tormented by the combination of ice and fire.

Chen Wang transformed into a golden light, and with the help of the Jin Chan Dharma Robe, he finally seized the Ice Fire Lotus.

Chen Wang investigated for a while and found that a strong power in the place blocked his Divine Sense, making it impossible for him to explore carefully.

"This place is located in the valley below, extremely hidden, and there is no aura emanating from it. We can come back to explore it another time."

Chen Wang thought to himself, and then left the place with Gu Xin Yue.

After they left, a stalk of grass peeked out from behind a rock, looking around furtively.

After confirming that Chen Wang and the others had completely left, they looked at the place where the Ice Fire Lotus had been, which was now completely empty.

The plant, which looked like a human figure, was now covering its face and weeping bitterly, its expression full of sorrow.
