What Kind of Opponent Could Make Me Sweat?

The order was sent, and the flowing light disappeared into the void; the Heavenly Sparrow Dynasty acted with extreme speed.

Ten powerful figures with sharp auras quietly descended upon the Jiuqu Realm Middle Thousand Provinces.

These are the Shadow Feather Guard, the hawks and hounds trained by the ancient dynasty.

All of them are powerful demons at the Spirit Venerable Realm, representing the pinnacle of combat strength in this world.

They searched the area where Cheng Yu had last sent a message, but found only traces of the battle and a scene that had already been cleaned up.

Both Cai Yi and Blood Evil Sect have vanished without a trace.

Despite making inquiries from different sources, the information obtained was quite consistent:

The Blood Evil Sect is an extremely evil sect of the highest order. They burn, kill, plunder, dig out people's Spirit Root, and steal people's life force. They commit all kinds of evil deeds, and their reputation can stop children from crying at night.

Strangely, no one knows the location of its Mountain Gate.

No one has ever seen the true faces of his disciples; they seem to exist only as ghosts in rumors and slander.

The search yielded no results, and a cold glint flashed in the leader's eyes:

"The person disappeared within the territory of the Wen Dao Palace. Even if it wasn't their doing, we should still eliminate them as well."

"Split into two groups. First, destroy the Wen Dao Palace, and the rest will continue searching for the Blood Evil Sect!"

They split into two groups.

One team of five headed straight for the Wen Dao Palace, while the other team continued searching for Spider Silk about the Blood Evil Sect.

These individuals, relying on their cultivation level and family background, disregarded everyone in this world.

Little did they know, from the moment they stepped into the Jiuqu Realm...

Every move they made had already fallen into an invisible net.

Distant mountain peaks.

"Li Shixiong, it's them."

"They've been inquiring about the Blood Evil Sect, probably because of the woman Brother Hei kidnapped before."

"Should we report this to the Palace Master?"

The man addressed as Li Shixiong shook his head calmly.

"The Palace Master has already given the order to intercept and kill them halfway, so as not to disturb the Young Master."

"Ambush on the way?"

The disciple who had spoken earlier hesitated slightly, "But they are all at the Spirit Venerable Realm..."

He had only recently entered the sect and had not yet fully grasped the entirety of the Wen Dao Palace.

In his view.

Fifteenth Realm Spirit Venerable is already the visible ceiling of combat power in Middle Thousand Provinces.

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.

When you encounter someone this strong, the best course of action is to run!

"So what Spirit Venerable?"

Li Shixiong said calmly, "Perfect, let's test those new gadgets on them and see if they work."

He paused, then looked at the five people who were heading in another direction.

"As for those few... let the lunatics handle them."

Just as the Shadow Feather Guard were making their way towards the Wen Dao Palace without any warning.

The seemingly ordinary mountain peaks surrounding the Wen Dao Palace silently had their surface rock layers slide away, revealing neatly arranged vertical launch units beneath.

Above the heavens, several creations known as [Heavenly Pivot Star] began to adjust their posture, slowly descending and entering the attack sequence.

A deep rumble came from deeper underground, and several large ejection manhole covers slowly opened, revealing the colossal structure inside— the Artificial Heaven and Earth Law— [Divine Mechanism].

Launch preparation has begun.

When the five Shadow Feather Guard unknowingly stepped into the designated attack area.

Buzz--!

The piercing alarm did not sound; instead, a chilling shriek of Spiritual Power instantly filled the heavens and earth!

The next instant, the sky was torn apart!

The Spirit Light Cannon from orbiting [Heavenly Pivot Star] descended first, like divine punishment, precisely covering the area!

Immediately following, ground-based launch units unleashed a barrage of thousands of psionic missiles, their trails of flame weaving a web of death for indiscriminate saturation bombardment!

The flames and chaotic flow of Spiritual Power from the explosion had not yet subsided.

"Divine Mechanism, engage the enemy!"

Several excited shouts rang out from the driver's cab.

Dozens of steel giants, hundreds of feet tall, shot into the sky from the catapult silos on the ground, their engines roaring. Wielding giant psionic weapons, they were like primordial Giant Beast unleashed from their gates, crashing straight into the destructive flames!

On the other side.

Feng Qingjue received news about people from over Upper Thousand Provinces almost simultaneously.

Although the other party is still unaware of the relationship between the Wen Dao Palace and the Blood Evil Sect, they absolutely cannot let it go unchecked.

She directly appointed Du Ruoheng and Shen Yian as the leaders, leading a group of elite fighters from among the Returnees to intercept them.

You're lucky.

They quickly intercepted the five Shadow Feather Guards who were cautiously scouting at low altitudes over a desolate area.

"Oh."

Shen Yian casually stood in the middle, even raising his hand to greet them, as if he had bumped into an acquaintance.

The five Shadow Feather Guard stopped abruptly, their auras instantly tensing.

Their mission was top secret, and it was no coincidence that they were intercepted so precisely!

"Who are you?" the leader asked in a cold voice, filled with Killing Intent.

"Us?" Shen Yian tilted his head, grinned, revealing his white teeth, "Are people of unparalleled talent."

"You seem to have come from heaven, don't you?"

"What a coincidence, this is exactly what we're looking for."

He stepped forward casually, but the moment he finished speaking, he flipped his right hand.

A strange card shimmering with golden light appeared between his fingers, which he then crushed without hesitation!

[One-Minute Spirit Venerable Trial Card] Activated!

Boom--!

A terrifying aura, so violent it distorted the very space around it, erupted from Shen Yian's body without warning!

His level of understanding skyrocketed, rising rapidly in an instant.

He actually managed to elevate himself to the same level as, or even slightly surpass, the five Shadow Feather Guards in front of him— the Spirit Venerable Realm!

"God... Lord?" The Shadow Feather Guard leader's pupils constricted in disbelief.

He never expected that a Spirit Venerable would suddenly appear in this remote mountain valley!

"You guessed right!"

Although I really wanted to show off a bit before making a move, the trial card time was precious.

Shen Yian let out a low roar, his figure transforming into a blur that tore through space as he lunged at his opponent!

Du Ruoheng and the others tacitly retreated a distance, not intervening, but merely forming a subtle encirclement to prevent anyone from escaping.

The ensuing battle was brief but intense.

Logically speaking, even if one forcibly elevates their realm to the level of Spirit Venerable, it would be extremely difficult to fight five opponents at once.

Not to mention the opponents, or the well-coordinated and highly trained Shadow Feather Guard.

But Shen Yian has a system!

[One-Minute Ultimate Realm Trial Card] Activated!

[One-Minute Dao Heart Illumination Trial Card] Activated!

[One-Minute Black Armor Protection Trial Card] Activated!

[Six-Character Heaven and Earth Law One-Minute Trial Card] Activated!

He spent all the precious experience cards he had saved up without even blinking.

In an instant, his combat power surged, his Movement Method became ethereal, and his Killing Intent solidified into a tangible form.

The five Shadow Feather Guard couldn't even organize an effective coordinated attack before their formation was torn apart by an unpredictable burst of attacks.

Then they were defeated one by one, falling one after another.

One minute later.

The effects of the trial card receded like the tide, Shen Yian's terrifying aura suddenly dropped. His face turned slightly pale, but his eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.

Before him, the corpses of five Shadow Feather Guards were slowly losing their warmth.

[Ding! Successfully crossed the border and defeated the powerful enemy! Gained Face-Slapping Points!]

A system notification sounded in his mind.

Shen Yian let out a long breath and just as he relaxed, he suddenly felt a cool sensation on his thigh, as if some liquid was sliding down.

"Is it sweat?"

He was startled, quickly lowered his head, wiped his face with his hand, smelled it, and then his expression relaxed as he muttered to himself:

"Oh, it was urine..."

"I knew it! How could an opponent of this caliber only make me sweat..."

"If it had only been a few seconds longer, I would have been the one who died! I almost crashed!"

"I won against five opponents, and they were all Spirit Venerable! Aren't I awesome?!"
