Lingxiao Sacred Sect Grand Elder has spent seven, seven and forty-nine days in a cave in a remote valley.

The valley seems to have been forgotten by the years, shrouded in thick haze all year round. The valley bottom is filled with the pungent smell of rotten leaves and wet soil. The cave is even colder and damper. The stone walls are covered with dark green moss, and the dripping water drops are falling. Every sound is frightening.

These days, all he could see was the cold face of Ren Xiaoyao, and the tragic scene of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect's destruction was haunting him like a ghost.

The mountain gate collapsed under the violent spiritual impact of Ren Xiaoyao, and the raging fire instantly swallowed up the once majestic palace. The disciples' screams and desperate cries were like sharp arrows, piercing his soul day and night.

"You brat, if I don't take revenge for this, how can I live in this world without shame!"

He gritted his teeth and squeezed out this vicious whisper from between his teeth. The voice echoed repeatedly in the empty cave. The strong hatred seemed to tear the cave apart.

The occasional sound of water dripping in this dead atmosphere brought out the despair and anger in his heart. He clenched his fists in the darkness, his knuckles turned white, his nails were deeply embedded in his palms, and blood slowly flowed down between his fingers and dripped on the cold ground.

He knew in his heart that using his meager strength to seek revenge on Ren Xiaoyao would undoubtedly be seeking death.

If he wants to take revenge, he can only find strong support, which is the only chance of survival in his desperate situation.

During those long and arduous years of exploration, he heard the legend of Xuanyuan Qiankun, the descendant of Human Emperor.

It is said that Xuanyuan Qiankun, who is True Meaning of Martial Arts under Human Emperor's Legacy, dominates the mainland with his powerful True Essence, and is famous and awe-inspiring.

With the last hope in mind, Grand Elder resolutely embarked on the arduous journey to find Xuanyuan Qiankun.

Along the way, he crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and experienced countless dangerous places. When he climbed the steep and towering Soul Severing Cliff, the vertical mountain walls were covered with sharp rocks. Every inch he moved up, his palms were scratched with bloody marks, which caused severe pain. If he was not careful, he would fall into the abyss and be shattered to pieces.

His clothes were torn by the mountain wind, his body was scratched by rocks in many places, and the cliff was stained red with blood. Every word Dao Wound seemed to remind him of the difficulty of the road ahead.

After going through many difficulties and dangers, Grand Elder finally found Xuanyuan Qiankun in a mysterious and quiet Primordial Ruins that was dusted by time.

This ruins is shrouded in a vague ancient light curtain, surrounded by huge stone pillars, engraved with mysterious runes, exuding the vicissitudes of time, as if telling ancient secrets.

The light curtain flickered with light, as if blocking outsiders from intruding. Grand Elder lingered outside the light curtain for a long time before finding an opportunity to enter.

I saw Xuanyuan Qiankun wearing a luxurious robe fully embroidered with Ancient Runes. Every rune exuded a mysterious light, as if whispering an ancient story.

He exudes an innate sense of pride, with his head held high and his eyes arrogant, as if everything in the world has been trampled under his feet and is not worth mentioning.

At this moment, he was standing on an ancient altar, with a shimmering crystal ball floating around him, as if he was performing some mysterious ritual. The twinkling light of the crystal ball reflected his stern face.

The area around the altar is engraved with ancient formation patterns. Following Xuanyuan Qiankun's movements, these patterns flicker with light, seeming to echo his power.

"Are you the Grand Elder of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect?"

Xuanyuan Qiankun didn't even raise his eyelids, his voice was cold and full of disdain, "I can't believe that Lingxiao Sacred Sect, founded by Lingxiao Heavenly King, is so desperate that it sends people like you to bring in reinforcements."

Grand Elder knelt down with a plop and hit his forehead heavily on the ground. His voice was trembling and crying, "Sir, please save Lingxiao Sacred Sect! That evil thief started killing our sect for no reason. His methods He was ruthless and slaughtered all the disciples of our sect. The once glorious and powerful Lingxiao Sacred Sect is now only a ruin. The souls of countless disciples are wailing in the darkness and cannot rest in peace! If this revenge is not avenged, I will not die in peace!"

He raised his head, his face covered with tears, and the hatred in his eyes was like a raging fire, as if it was going to burn everything in front of him. The tears mixed with the soil, leaving traces of dirt on his face.

He lowered his hands to the ground and dug his nails deeply into the ground, as if he wanted to vent all the hatred in his heart into these claws.

"Origin?" Xuanyuan Qiankun sneered, and finally raised his eyes and squinted at Grand Elder, "Does Lingxiao Sacred Sect deserve to talk about origin with Human Emperor's Legacy? But... since you are here, it's not like I can't help you. But what benefits can you give me?"

Grand Elder said quickly, "As long as you can help me kill, I will give all the rare treasures of the Lingxiao Sacred Sect with both hands. Moreover, in the future, I am willing to ride for you, through fire and water, without any complaints. I am willing to be a slave and maid for the rest of my life. I only ask for your help!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed, and the ground banged when he hit his forehead. His forehead was already bruised, and blood was flowing down his face.

Xuanyuan Qiankun looked arrogant, raised his head slightly, and snorted like he was breathing out his nostrils, "Well, seeing that you are still sensible, I will go for it. However, if you dare to play any tricks after killing that kid, don't blame me for letting your soul fly away, Nine Netherworlds, and suffer endless torture."

In this way, Xuanyuan Qiankun and Grand Elder embarked on a journey to find Ren Xiaoyao.

At this time, Ren Xiaoyao, after practicing in seclusion in the valley, his control over spiritual power has reached a whole new level.

He exudes a calm and powerful aura, as if he is integrated with heaven and earth, and his every move exudes confidence and calmness.

He was keenly aware that someone was secretly looking for him, and secretly guessed that Grand Elder must have found help, so he waited in the valley for the enemy to come, preparing for the upcoming battle. The breeze in the valley blew gently, and the leaves rustled, seeming to be nervous for this battle.

The flowers and plants in the valley sway in the wind, as if they are trembling and waiting for the judgment of fate.

The moment Xuanyuan Qiankun and Grand Elder stepped into the valley, Ren Xiaoyao felt their breath.

He walked out of the cave steadily, his steps firm and powerful, each step was like stepping on the drumbeat between heaven and earth.

His gaze was like a torch, falling directly on the two of them, as if he could see through their thoughts.

His long hair was fluttering in the wind, his clothes were rustling, and his whole body exuded an invisible sense of oppression.

"You brat!" Grand Elder's eyes suddenly widened and his eye sockets were about to burst, like an enraged beast, he roared, "Today is your death! You destroyed my sect and killed my disciples. Today I will cut you into thousands of pieces to pay homage to the undead soul of my Lingxiao Sacred Sect!"

His voice echoed in the valley, startling a flock of birds, which flapped their wings as if they were also infected by this hatred.

Ren Xiaoyao smiled coldly, "Just the two of you? Supreme Elder, you were lucky enough to let you escape last time. But this time, you have no chance of survival. Today will be your burial place."

His voice was low and cold, as if it came from Nine Nether Hell.

Xuanyuan Qiankun took a step forward, raised his chin high, and looked at Ren Xiaoyao with an extremely arrogant attitude. The robe on his body fluttered in the wind, and the runes on the robe shimmered, seeming to show his extraordinaryness.

Ren Xiaoyao looked at Xuanyuan Qiankun's arrogant look, and felt a burst of disgust in his heart. "What Human Emperor descendants are just arrogant people who don't know the heights of the sky. Today I want to let you know that there is a sky outside the sky."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Before he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Qiankun stepped on the ground, and the ground cracked instantly, and his figure rushed towards Ren Xiaoyao like lightning.

During the sprint, his hands danced rapidly, and True Essence surged in his body, gathering along his arms and reaching his palms.

On his palms, there was a layer of rich golden True Essence, with faint dragon-shaped lines emerging. Following his movements, these lines swam like living creatures.

In the blink of an eye, he stepped in front of Ren Xiaoyao, shouted loudly, and struck Ren Xiaoyao's chest with his palms like "Two Dragons Emerge from the Sea" with overwhelming force. The wind of his palms roared, causing ripples visible to the naked eye to appear in the surrounding air.

The surrounding trees were swept by the palm wind and broke one after another, with branches and leaves flying all over the sky.

At the same time, Grand Elder was not idle either. He took a deep breath, True Essence inside his body was running rapidly, his leg muscles tightened, he suddenly jumped up, turned over in the air, and attacked Ren Xiaoyao condescendingly like an eagle attacking a rabbit.

His hands were claw-shaped, and the fingertips shone with a faint green True Essence light, which was the poisonous True Essence he had refined over many years of hard work.

He used "Netherworld Ghost Claw", aiming directly at Ren Xiaoyao's throat, hoping to give Ren Xiaoyao a fatal blow at this critical moment and relieve the hatred in his heart.

His figure drew an arc in the air, like a black lightning, carrying endless killing intent.

Faced with the joint attack of the two men, Ren Xiaoyao remained calm. The spiritual energy all over his body exploded instantly, forming a layer of transparent Spiritual Energy Shield, which protected him tightly.

Xuanyuan Qiankun's "Two Dragons Emerge from the Sea" and Grand Elder's "Netherworld Ghost Claw" hit the shield heavily, making a dull loud noise, and the golden and dark green True Essence light splashed out.

But the Spiritual Energy Shield only shook slightly a few times and then firmly blocked this round of ferocious attacks.

Ripples appeared on the shield, and the light flickered, as if mocking the two men for their ineffective attacks.

"Hmph, with this little ability, you still want to hurt me?"

Ren Xiaoyao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer, "Let you see what real power is!" His voice was full of confidence and sarcasm.

After saying that, Ren Xiaoyao quickly formed seals with his hands, and the spiritual energy in his body surged out like a raging torrent.

He mobilized the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth and condensed it into a huge Spiritual Energy Longsword in front of him.

This long sword is composed of pure spiritual power. The sword body is transparent, but it exudes a cold chill. The runes on the sword body flash, and there is a faint sound of wind and thunder.

Ren Xiaoyao held Spiritual Energy Longsword and swung it violently, sending a fierce spiritual power Sword Qi towards Xuanyuan Qiankun and Grand Elder.

Wherever Sword Qi passed, the space seemed to be cut through by a sharp blade, and a long Black Cracks appeared. The surrounding air was instantly evacuated, forming a short-term vacuum zone.

Wherever Sword Qi went, a deep ravine was drawn on the ground, and Earth and Stone splashed on both sides of the ravine.

Xuanyuan Qiankun's face changed drastically when he saw this.

He quickly circulated the True Essence in his body and laid a thick golden True Essence barrier in front of him.

This barrier is condensed by his powerful True Essence. There are ancient runes flowing on the surface, exuding a powerful defensive aura.

However, Ren Xiaoyao's spiritual power Sword Qi was too powerful, and Sword Qi struck the True Essence barrier, making a deafening roar.

After only holding on for a moment, the golden True Essence barrier suddenly shattered. Sword Qi continued to rush towards Xuanyuan Qiankun with undiminished momentum.

The moment the barrier was shattered, the runes scattered with light, and Ruyan bloomed like a flower.

Xuanyuan Qiankun couldn't avoid it and was passed by by Sword Qi. His sleeve was instantly cut off by Sword Qi, and a shallow blood mark appeared on his arm.

He was shocked and angry. He had never thought that Ren Xiaoyao's spiritual power could be so powerful.

He looked at the blood marks on his arms, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but was quickly replaced by anger.

Grand Elder also felt a huge threat.

He did not dare to meet the Sword Qi forcefully, so he quickly dodged and used the surrounding rocks and trees as cover to try to avoid the sharp edge of the Sword Qi.

Sword Qi hit a boulder behind him. The boulder was split in half instantly, and the gravel flew and scattered like Hidden Weapon.

Several pieces of gravel hit Grand Elder, leaving several wounds on his body and blood staining his clothes red.

"A bit capable, but it's not over yet!"

Xuanyuan Qiankun gritted his teeth and shouted angrily. He endured the pain in his arm, and True Essence erupted in his body again.

This time, he performed Human Emperor's Legacy's unique skill - "Human Emperor Hegemonic Body".

With an earth-shattering roar, Xuanyuan Qiankun's body instantly expanded several times. The whole body was covered with a layer of scales shining with golden light. Each scale was the size of a palm and extremely hard. Mysterious runes flowed on the surface of the scales, exuding frightening True Essence fluctuations.

His eyes turned red, filled with madness and murderous intent, and he roared like a beast, "Ren Xiaoyao, suffer death!"

After that, like a crazy Ancient Ferocious Beasts, he rushed towards Ren Xiaoyao as fast as lightning. Wherever he went, deep footprints were left on the ground, smoke billowed, and the ground around the footprints cracked due to the strong pressure.

Every step he took made the ground tremble, and the surrounding trees trembled, and their branches and leaves fell off one after another.

Not to be outdone, Grand Elder circulated the highly toxic True Essence in his body and injected it into his legs.

A layer of green light appeared on the surface of his legs, with strange runes flickering in the light.

He displayed "Ghost Shadow Steps", and his figure became ethereal, wandering behind Xuanyuan Qiankun like a ghost, looking for Ren Xiaoyao's flaws, ready to launch a fatal blow at any time.

His figure shuttled through the forest, like a black phantom, elusive.

Ren Xiaoyao looked at the two people's crazy attacks, but his expression remained calm and composed.

He held Spiritual Energy Longsword horizontally in front of him, and the spiritual power in his body was continuously injected into the sword.

The runes on the sword shone brightly, and the sound of wind and thunder became more violent.

Facing Xuanyuan Qiankun's "Human Emperor Hegemonic Body" and Grand Elder's "Ghost Shadow Steps", Ren Xiaoyao decided to take the initiative.

His figure flashed and rushed towards Xuanyuan Qiankun like a stream of light.

The moment he approached Xuanyuan Qiankun, Ren Xiaoyao jumped up suddenly, raised Spiritual Energy Longsword high in his hand, brought World-Ending Aura with him, and chopped it down towards Xuanyuan Qiankun's head.

Xuanyuan Qiankun quickly raised his arms and resisted the blow with his arms covered with golden scales.

Spiritual Energy Longsword slashed on his arm, making a loud sound like metal collision, and sparks flying.

The powerful impact shook Xuanyuan Qiankun back repeatedly, and deep ravines were created on the ground beneath his feet.

Each ravine is half a foot deep and extends several feet long.

Just when Ren Xiaoyao and Xuanyuan Qiankun were having a fierce confrontation, Grand Elder found the right opportunity.

He appeared behind Ren Xiaoyao like a ghost, with the "Netherworld Ghost Claw" in his hands carrying the highly poisonous True Essence, and clawed hard at Ren Xiaoyao's back.

Ren Xiaoyao sensed the danger behind him and quickly turned sideways to avoid it.

Grand Elder's ghost claws scraped across his shoulders, leaving several deep claw marks on his clothes, and a pungent poisonous gas instantly filled the air.

Wherever the poisonous gas reaches, the flowers and plants instantly wither and the land turns black.

"Huh, what a small trick!"

Ren Xiaoyao snorted coldly.

He used his spiritual power to force the poisonous gas out of his body, then turned around suddenly and swept Spiritual Energy Longsword in his hand towards Grand Elder.

Grand Elder quickly retreated to avoid this sharp blow. But Ren Xiaoyao's attack did not end there. He then performed "Phantom Sword Dance", Spiritual Energy Longsword in his hand danced quickly, and Heavy Sword Shadows enveloped Grand Elder.

Every sword shadow contained powerful spiritual power. Wherever it went, the surrounding trees were cut off and deep sword marks were carved on the ground.

The shadow of the sword flickered, as bright as the stars, but it also carried a fatal danger.

Grand Elder dodged left and right in the shadow of the sword, and had multiple injuries on his body.

His heart was filled with fear, he didn't expect Ren Xiaoyao's strength to be so terrifying.

He wanted to retreat, but the hatred in his heart made him unwilling to give up. While avoiding it, he looked for opportunities to fight back, with madness and despair in his eyes.

Xuanyuan Qiankun took advantage of the gap between Ren Xiaoyao's attack on Grand Elder and launched another attack.

He circulated the True Essence in his body and condensed it into a huge golden True Essence light ball.

This light ball contains all his power, with mysterious runes flashing on its surface, emitting a blazing light.

He shouted loudly and threw the True Essence light ball towards Ren Xiaoyao.

True Essence The ball of light streaked across the sky like a meteor, rushing towards Ren Xiaoyao with unparalleled momentum.

Wherever the light ball passed, the air was burned and distorted, making a "sizzling" sound.

Ren Xiaoyao felt the powerful threat of this True Essence light ball. He immediately stopped attacking Grand Elder, took Spiritual Energy Longsword back in front of him, mobilized his whole body's spiritual power, and condensed into a Spiritual Energy Shield in front of him.

This shield is composed of pure spiritual power, with complex runes flowing on its surface, emitting a soft yet powerful light.

The runes on the shield flickered and jumped, as if weaving a solid line of defense.

"Boom!" True Essence's light ball hit Spiritual Energy Shield hard, making a deafening noise.

The powerful Energy Impact spread out around the two people, and the surrounding ground was instantly shaken out of a huge circular pit. The Earth and Stone in the pit was blown to pieces and filled with smoke and dust.

Both Ren Xiaoyao and Xuanyuan Qiankun were shaken by the impact and took several steps back.

The pit was ten feet in diameter and bottomless, and the surrounding ground was covered with cracks, spreading like a spider web.

In the smoke and dust, the figure of Ren Xiaoyao slowly emerged. His face was slightly pale, but his eyes were still firm.

He knew that this battle had reached a critical moment and must be resolved quickly.

He took a deep breath to calm down the surging spiritual power in his body.

Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath, and the spiritual power in his body was running wildly.

He frantically inhaled the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around him into his body, and for a moment, his body seemed to turn into a huge Spiritual Energy Vortex.

Above his head, a huge Spiritual Energy Vortex appeared, with Infinite Power contained in the vortex.

The vortex rotates at high speed, making a whistling sound, and the surrounding air is sucked in crazily, forming a powerful airflow.

"Suffer death!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted, pushing Spiritual Energy Vortex on top of his head towards Xuanyuan Qiankun and Grand Elder.

Spiritual Energy Vortex carries powerful suction and destructive power. Wherever it goes, everything around it is involved. Whether it is trees, rocks or air, they are all twisted into pieces by this powerful force.

Wherever the vortex passed, a wide belt of destruction was formed, the ground was flattened, and everything turned into Void.

Xuanyuan Qiankun and Grand Elder felt the threat of death.

They wanted to avoid it, but the suction force of Spiritual Energy Vortex was too great, and their bodies flew towards the center of the vortex involuntarily.

Xuanyuan Qiankun burst out all True Essence, trying to resist this powerful attraction. His whole body was wrapped in golden light, and every inch of his scales was shaking violently. The runes on his scales were shining brightly, as if they were trying to break free from the shackles of this terrifying force.

He waved his arms frantically, trying to grab the surrounding rocks, but those huge rocks were easily sucked away like powder by the power of the vortex, and his hands only caught a ball of air.

Grand Elder's face was filled with panic. He desperately circulated the poisonous True Essence in his body and displayed the strongest state of "Ghost Shadow Steps". His whole body turned into an illusory afterimage, struggling crazily on the edge of the vortex.

His legs were shaking due to excessive exertion, and the faint green True Essence light flickered on and off under the impact of Spiritual Energy Vortex, and could go out at any time.

He shouted loudly, his voice full of despair and fear, but his shout was instantly drowned out by the roar of the whirlpool.

At this critical moment, Xuanyuan Qiankun suddenly remembered Ancient Secret Technique in Human Emperor's Legacy.

He gritted his teeth, ignoring the rapid consumption of True Essence, and quickly formed complex seals with his hands. The True Essence in his body gathered in his palms like turbulent waves, and then pushed out suddenly.

He saw an ancient Golden Runes flying out of his hand. The runes shone with mysterious light and slowly grew larger, trying to stop Spiritual Energy Vortex from being devoured.

This rune contains the ancient power of Human Emperor's Legacy. As soon as it appears, the surrounding space seems to solidify.

However, Ren Xiaoyao's Spiritual Energy Vortex was too powerful. Although the runes temporarily withstood part of the power of the vortex, they continued to tremble and their light gradually dimmed.

Xuanyuan Qiankun's face turned pale, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He understood that Ancient Secret Technique would not be able to sustain it for long.

Seeing this, Grand Elder used his last bit of strength to compress all the poisonous True Essence in his body into a dark green poison ball and threw it towards Spiritual Energy Vortex.

The moment the poison ball came into contact with the vortex, a violent explosion occurred, and a dark green poisonous mist spread, trying to weaken the power of the vortex.

But this poisonous mist only struggled for a moment in the face of the powerful spiritual power before being mercilessly swallowed by the vortex.

Ren Xiaoyao stood in the distance, watching all this coldly. There was no mercy in his eyes, and his hands continued to control Spiritual Energy Vortex, making its power continuously increase.

At this moment, he is like Deities who controls life and death, deciding the fate of Xuanyuan Qiankun and Grand Elder.

Spiritual Energy Vortex continues to shrink the encirclement, and the resistance of Xuanyuan Qiankun and Grand Elder becomes increasingly weak.

Xuanyuan Qiankun's golden scales began to peel off piece by piece, and his body gradually showed signs of fatigue. He no longer had the arrogance and arrogance he had before.

Grand Elder's "Ghost Shadow Steps" could no longer maintain it. His body turned from an illusory afterimage back into reality, being pulled by the power of the vortex and quickly approaching the center.

"No! I won't give in!" Xuanyuan Qiankun roared at the end, his voice full of unwillingness and despair.
