"Hehehe, I can't wait to see the scene of human martial artists fleeing in terror!"

"Hahahaha, if the humans outside see that not a single human who stepped into the Secret Realm came out alive, their expressions will surely be spectacular!"

Feng Miesheng and his group stepped into the Secret Realm, looked around, and sneered with contempt.

However, the next second, several figures suddenly erupted into action!

One threw a punch, one wielded a blade, and one held a spear; their Vitality exploded, killing intent shook the heavens, and their speed reached the absolute limit!

Rumble!

The ground shook!

A series of sounds of weapons cleaving into bone rang out, and in the blink of an eye, three or four heads fell to the ground!

"You beasts, how dare you!"

Feng Miesheng's eyes turned blood-red, and he roared in a fury!

He held a long halberd, energy bursting forth, and instantly charged toward the leader, Wang Jinyang!

Wang Jinyang was fearless; before Feng Miesheng could even rush over, he had already charged forward first!

Wang Jinyang instantly erupted with Vitality, blood-red light exploded from his long blade, and blade radiance crisscrossed the air!

In the void, strange phenomena manifested!

"Slash!"

Wang Jinyang let out a violent shout, his blade like thunder, slashing down rapidly!

"Kill!"

Feng Miesheng roared, swinging his halberd in a rage!

Boom!

The weapons collided, and the void shrieked!

Without the slightest pause, Wang Jinyang erupted with Vitality, blood-red energy suffusing his body, and attacked Feng Miesheng once more.

Leaping into the air, he hacked down!

It wasn't just one strike, but the Blood-Exploding Mad Blade, seven consecutive slashes!

Bang!

Feng Miesheng's corpse crashed heavily to the ground!

Wang Jinyang looked at the weapon in the opponent's hand, his eyes lighting up—a divine weapon, what a huge profit!

At this moment, Yao Chengjun, Li Hansong, and the others had also slaughtered all the Earth Cave martial artists.

"Quickly loot the corpses and clean up the battlefield!"

Wang Jinyang gave a soft shout and began looting the bodies, digging out the energy hearts of the Earth Cave martial artists as well.

Yao Chengjun and the others hurriedly took action.

Outside the Secret Realm, The Earth Cave True Kings and Earth Cave martial artists looked at the severed limbs and fragments being washed out, their faces turning ashen.

King Feng and the others had cold eyes, their expressions extremely ugly!

"The severed limbs of God Continent martial artists... damn it!"

"Abominable, the human martial artists actually dared to ambush our God Continent martial artists at the entrance of the Secret Realm!"

"Audacious and hateful to the extreme!"

At this moment, only severed limbs were being washed out, but not a single Earth Cave martial artist had escaped!

There was only one possibility: the Earth Cave martial artists had been completely slaughtered by the human martial artists!

For how many years had it been? It had always been their Earth Cave's prodigy martial artists slaughtering human martial artists; there had never been a precedent for human martial artists daring to ambush them!

It was truly hateful, truly abominable!

"Trash is just trash!"

In the Heaven Beyond Heaven camp, Changshan Qi sneered:

"Ten prodigy martial artists from the Earth Cave Forbidden Zone couldn't even withstand a single blow from the human martial artists before being completely slaughtered!"

"Such trash should just commit suicide rather than running out here to embarrass themselves!"

"Arrogant!"

The martial artists in the Earth Cave camp all glared with rage, feeling extremely furious!

Seeing this, Changshan Qi and the others sneered, their eyes icy, and said coldly:

"Trash!"

"Just wait and see how we achieve a total victory!"

Changshan Qi and the other martial artists from Changrong Heaven were condescending and extremely arrogant!

In their eyes, the human martial artists within the Fourth Rank Secret Realm were nothing more than lambs waiting for the slaughter.

If the Earth Cave martial artists could be wiped out by these lambs in an ambush, what else could they be but trash?

"Heh, so much for the geniuses of the Forbidden Zone; they are nothing but a pack of worthless curs!"

Changshan Qi's voice was indifferent, his expression cold.

Not a single human martial artist in the Fourth Rank Secret Realm had made it onto the Human Realm Heavenly Pride Ranking; they were simply not worth fearing!

If he were forced to drop his cultivation to the First Rank to face the likes of Zhang Xuan or Han Xu—who had made the Human Realm Heavenly Pride Ranking—he might truly be no match for those human geniuses at the same level.

But the human martial artists in the Fourth Rank Secret Realm were not on the list!

The Human Realm Heavenly Pride Ranking had finished tallying the First Rank geniuses before jumping straight to Ling Yiyi at the Third Rank, and then to Yu Feng at the Eighth Rank.

Clearly, there were no true geniuses among the mid-rank martial artists of the Human Realm!

How could this group of human Fourth Rank martial artists, unrecognized by the Sky Screen as geniuses, possibly defeat him, a genius of Heaven Beyond Heaven who had already earned a fearsome reputation a thousand years ago?!

Changshan Qi's eyes were cold; the Earth Cave might lose, but he would not!

"Time is up. Follow me into the secret realm!"

Changshan Qi gave a sharp shout, gripped his long saber, and led the martial artists of Changrong Heaven into the secret realm in an instant.

The martial artists of Pingyu Heaven and Taian Huangya Heaven followed closely behind.

The martial artists from the other Heaven Beyond Heaven factions did not enter the secret realm with them.

They were waiting.

The human martial artists inside the secret realm had been able to slaughter the Earth Cave martial artists the moment they stepped inside, so their strength was undoubtedly formidable.

At this very moment, the human martial artists were likely still lying in ambush at the entrance of the secret realm.

Whichever faction entered first would face the most ferocious ambush!

Even if the Heaven Beyond Heaven martial artists did not fear an ambush by humans, the enemy was in the dark while they were in the light; they would inevitably suffer losses if caught off guard.

It was better to let the martial artists of Changrong Heaven and Pingyu Heaven pave the way for them.

Ten seconds passed, the entrance to the secret realm trembled, and severed limbs sprayed outward!

Martial artists from Pingyu Heaven and Taian Huangya Heaven fled out, heavily wounded!

"Damn humans!"

Pingyu Emperor Venerable and Changrong Emperor Venerable had icy gazes, their faces turning a livid shade of green!

The Heaven Beyond Heaven martial artists and the Earth Cave martial artists were all somewhat shaken!

They had lost!

They might truly be on the verge of defeat!

Inside the secret realm, Wang Jinyang, Yao Chengjun, and Li Hansong exchanged smiles.

This was truly a surprise!

They had expected all the Heaven Beyond Heaven martial artists to enter the secret realm together.

If that had happened, they would have launched a fierce, all-out assault to kill the leading Heaven Beyond Heaven martial artists before immediately fleeing into the depths of the secret realm.

But they hadn't expected that only three factions of Heaven Beyond Heaven would enter!

"There are good people even among Heaven Beyond Heaven!"

Li Hansong couldn't help but laugh and remark.

Divine weapons, medicinal pills... they had really struck it rich!

Wang Jinyang packed up the spoils of war and said in a low voice, "The situation at the entrance to the secret realm must already be known outside."

"The martial artists who enter next will likely be even harder to kill. We should go!"

Yao Chengjun and the others nodded. They had come to the Three Realms Martial Arts Exchange Tournament to seize resources, and they certainly couldn't let the Point Tokens in the secret realm go to waste.

The slaughter in the secret realm paused temporarily, while the arena battles outside the realm continued in full swing!

In the First Rank arena, facing an Earth Cave martial artist with blood-red eyes, Chen Jiasheng's expression remained calm as he stepped onto the stage, holding his Wu Hook.

"Die!"

The Earth Cave martial artist's eyes flashed with crimson as he lunged violently toward Chen Jiasheng!

Chen Jiasheng did not hesitate; he threw one blade and closed in with the other!

The Chen family Wu Hook: attack only, never defend!

The thrown Wu Hook spun through the air, carving out streaks of light!

A flash of white!

The Wu Hook struck toward the neck of the Earth Cave martial artist from behind!

The Earth Cave martial artist scrambled to dodge!

Chen Jiasheng seized the moment and threw the Wu Hook in his hand once more; the Earth Cave martial artist, caught off guard, had his throat slashed!

"Hiss, Chen Jiasheng's control is incredibly strong!"

"Isn't that underhanded? In his hands, the Wu Hook feels like a flying guillotine!"

"Chen Jiasheng is bound to reveal his identity by using the Wu Hook!"

"There's no other way. Chen Jiasheng has used the Wu Hook since he was a child. If he were to switch weapons temporarily, he likely wouldn't be a match for the Earth Cave martial artist who had fallen in rank!"

On the arena stage, Chen Jiasheng retrieved his Wu Hook and struck two more times for good measure before kicking the Earth Cave martial artist's corpse toward the human side.

Seeing this scene, the Earth Cave martial artists gritted their teeth, their eyes bloodshot!

"The human martial artists actually dare to desecrate a corpse right in front of us!"

"This is absolutely hateful!"

"Beasts!"

"..."

Zhang Xuan, Fang Ping, and the others heard the Earth Cave martial artists' shouts and threats.

To the defeated, no one cared.

Zhang Xuan picked at his ear; the Earth Cave martial artists were still far too agitated.

They were flying into a rage over just this much?

If he were to dig out an Earth Cave martial artist's energy heart right on the stage, would the Earth Cave martial artists below be so angry they'd vomit blood?

Of course, ordinary Rank-1 Earth Cave martial artists didn't have energy hearts, but those who had fallen in rank certainly did.

In the Rank-2 arena, Xie Lei successfully secured a victory.

But the next person was blasted into a serious injury and had to jump off the stage to save their life.

In the Rank-1 competition, the Earth Cave martial artists didn't pause for even a second, challenging Fang Ping once again!

This time, Zhao Lei took the stage.

However, the Earth Cave martial artist self-destructed the moment they charged, blasting Zhao Lei right off the arena.

"Pfft!"

Zhao Lei spat blood, his face turning dark.

On one hand, he was genuinely injured; on the other, he was furious.

Fine, fine, fine, so they changed their tactics the moment it was his turn, right?

Fu Changding patted Zhao Lei's shoulder in sympathy, and then he took the stage.

Then, he was also blasted off the arena.

The Earth Cave martial artists had no tactics; they simply charged over and self-destructed!

Even if they destroyed everything, they wouldn't let the human martial artists have it easy!

Fang Ping felt a pang of heartache—this was all money!

After the Earth Cave martial artists finished blowing themselves up, it was the turn of the Heaven Beyond Heaven martial artists.

The Heaven Beyond Heaven martial artists also began to self-destruct, but they didn't blow themselves up—they blew up their weapons and resources!

After all, people could take the stage repeatedly, but resources were consumables.

Zhang Xuan took the stage, and before the opponent could react, he gripped the Heaven Beyond Heaven martial artist's wrist, ended their life with a single blade strike, and looted every last bit of their weapons and resources.

Gradually, the faces of the Heaven Beyond Heaven martial artists turned green!

Giving it away for free!

One after another, they were just handing it over!

Not only were their resources confiscated, but they couldn't even leave the stage alive.

Fang Ping followed suit. Although his speed hadn't reached the terrifying level of Zhang Xuan, it was still very, very fast!

Among his combat techniques, the one he practiced the most was the essential skill for running away... no, the essential skill for chasing enemies: Cloud Step!

Below the stage, Fu Changding, Zhao Lei, and Han Xu watched the speed Fang Ping erupted with, somewhat shocked:

"Hiss, he really was hiding his strength; he actually cultivated Cloud Step to the grand completion stage!"

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but chuckle.

Fang the Runner truly lived up to his name as Fang the Runner!

The Rank-1 competition ended quickly because no one went to challenge the human martial artists anymore.

The Rank-2 competition, however, saw some human casualties, and several martial artists would have been killed by the opponent if they hadn't been lucky enough to fall off the stage!

"Kill, kill all the Rank-2 humans to avenge the God Continent martial artists!"

"Weak, too weak! The human Rank-2 martial artists are too weak; they are simply unable to withstand a single blow!"

Zhang Xuan lifted his gaze slightly and looked toward the Rank-2 arena.

He chuckled softly, blade in hand, and charged forward.

"A Rank 1 challenging Rank 2s—who dares to fight me!"

Zhang Xuan stood tall on the arena, his posture upright and imposing.

He swept his gaze across the crowd, looking down on everyone with disdain!

"Arrogant!"

Many Earth Cave martial artists and Heaven Beyond Heaven martial artists burned with fury, shouting sternly!

"Human, don't get too cocky!"

"Do you want to die? Go ahead and try!"

"Since you're so eager to die, I shall grant your wish!"

Watching the enraged Earth Cave martial artists, Zhang Xuan smiled lightly: "Angry? Such pointless anger!"

"Who among you will come and warm me up?"

"You're courting death!"

The Earth Cave martial artists were incensed!

This man dared to look down on them so blatantly; he was utterly arrogant and completely devoid of respect!

Feng Qing, unable to contain his rage, moved in a blur and instantly leaped onto the arena!

After Ling Yiyi ascended the Human Realm Heavenly Pride Ranking, King Feng had speculated that the Future Human King was likely a Rank 2 martial artist.

Thus, King Feng had forced Feng Qing to drop his cultivation to the peak of Rank 2, with the intention of slaughtering the human Rank 2 martial artists!

Feng Qing stared daggers at Zhang Xuan, sneering cruelly:

"I just personally slaughtered a few Rank 2 human martial artists, yet you were foolish enough to step onto the Rank 2 arena...

Since you want to die, I will fulfill your wish!"

This man might have been a king in the Rank 1 realm, but in the Rank 2 realm, he would face nothing but death!

"Feng Qing, do not underestimate this man. You must kill him!"

King Feng's voice echoed in his ears.

Feng Qing's expression shifted instantly, and just as he was about to speak, Zhang Xuan appeared before him in the next second.

The blade light was fierce!

Zhang Xuan sheathed his blade, looted the corpse, and kicked it aside.

"Who else wants to come up and throw their life away!"

"Shameless bastard, attacking when someone wasn't ready!"

"You will die a horrible death!"

"Arrogant! You may be strong, but how long can you keep this up!"

The Earth Cave martial artists were thoroughly provoked, their rage erupting!

One after another, they leaped onto the arena to strike down Zhang Xuan!

Zhang Xuan remained undefeated in every battle!

Seeing this, the Heaven Beyond Heaven martial artists' expressions fluctuated, their minds shaken!

Strong—this man was ridiculously, freakishly strong!

At the peak of Rank 1, he could suppress peak Rank 2 elite martial artists and remain undefeated in every fight!

It was inconceivable!

Unimaginable!

Unbelievable!

How could a Rank 1 martial artist be this powerful?!

The strength he displayed was not a whit inferior to that of elite Rank 3 martial artists!

He could even slay Rank 3 high-stage and peak Rank 3 martial artists who had tempered their torso bones!

The Earth Cave martial artists were wide-eyed with fury, and the Heaven Beyond Heaven martial artists were stunned!

Ji Yao was dazed, her beautiful eyes locked firmly onto Zhang Xuan.

"So strong!"

Ji Yao bit her lush red lips, her heart trembling.

Such a formidable person, already displaying an invincible posture at Rank 1, was equally invincible when killing enemies across ranks!

If he were to step into the Origin Rank 9, would it not be possible for him to kill a Peak expert while at Rank 9?!

Terrifying!

At this very moment, King Ming, King Feng, King Baishan, and the other Earth Cave True Kings all wore ashen faces, staring fixedly at Zhang Xuan.

If this man does not die, the God Continent will never know peace!

At the First Grade realm, he is already this terrifying; if he were to step into the True King Realm, he might even have the power to slaughter every True King of the Earth Cave single-handedly!

The terror this man exudes is not a whit inferior to the Future Human King or the reincarnation of the Demon Emperor!

There is even a high probability that he is the Future Human King himself!

On the human side, Fang Ping, Han Xu, Chen Jiasheng, and Fu Changding all gasped in unison, utterly shocked!

"He is actually this formidable!"

"A freak, this is absurd!"

"He is not human; he is too strong to be human!"

"..."

Everyone was completely stunned.

With strength as immense as Zhang Xuan's, how could he have fallen halfway through his journey?

If he truly fell, then who could have killed him?!

"Interesting!"

Suddenly, the void trembled!

A figure tore through the air and emerged, staring at Zhang Xuan with a faint, mocking smile: "As expected of the first human prodigy to ascend the Human Realm Heavenly Pride Ranking!"

"Zhang Xuan, your ranking on the Human Realm Heavenly Pride Ranking should not be merely twentieth."

"Perhaps it is because you truly have no future."

The figure let out a heavy sigh.

Zhang Xuan was so formidable, his talent so terrifying that even he felt a sense of dread!

With such a terrifying prodigy, how could the Earth Cave or Heaven Beyond Heaven possibly let him live?

Facing the exposure by this figure, Zhang Xuan showed no panic at his identity being revealed, nor was he surprised by the figure's appearance.

He even felt like laughing.

"If a Three Realms Power Ranking were to be released another day, I would take the number one spot; wouldn't that scare you all to death!"

A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples!

King Ming, King Feng, King Baishan, and a host of other Earth Cave True Kings had their pupils dilate, their gazes sharpening!

"Zhang Xuan! He is actually the Zhang Xuan who was the first to ascend the Human Realm Heavenly Pride Ranking!"

"How could the Zhang Xuan ranked twentieth be this terrifying!"

"Incredible, unbelievable!"

With Zhang Xuan's identity exposed, the Three Realms were shaken!

Ji Yao and the other Earth Cave martial artists trembled in body and soul!

The martial artists of Heaven Beyond Heaven were dumbstruck!

Zhang Xuan, a human prodigy who had less than 100 words of description when the Sky Screen first exposed him, was actually terrifying enough to suppress all the prodigies of the Three Realms!

Even if a True God were to drop to the First Grade, or a Ninth Grade were to drop to the First Grade, no one could rival Zhang Xuan!

Even prodigy martial artists who had been famous for a thousand years were easily slaughtered by Zhang Xuan when at the same rank!

That a martial artist who had only tempered their bones once could cultivate to such a formidable level was simply inconceivable!

On the human side, Zhang Tao's expression darkened, and he looked at the figure in the void with extreme wariness.

Who exactly was this person, to be able to break through the disguises set by the Heaven Suppressing King and the God Forger!

The Heaven Suppressing King wore a grave expression, instantly shielding the human martial artists behind him!

The God Forger also teleported to the Forbidden Earth Cave, his expression equally solemn.

Two chapters in one, please keep reading, please support in every way, thank you all.

Returning to the exposure immediately.
