The Gap Between Bone Forging Realm Cultivators Was Even Greater Than That Between People and Pigs

"Bold of you!"

Ye Wu flew into a rage. He had not expected this fellow to dare challenge him across realms. Spiritual Power surged like a vast flood, condensing around his fist as he met Hui Mei's punch head-on.

Boom!

It was as though two mountains had collided, making everyone's eardrums ache.

Ye Wu staggered back five steps in succession. Each step left a deep footprint in the floor, with fine cracks spreading outward.

Ye Wu stopped, his face slightly pale. Even with Spiritual Power covering him, his arm trembled faintly, as though he had punched an enormous mountain of steel and been jolted with pain.

The people around Hengtian Hall sucked in cold breaths, their mouths slightly agape in shock.

Spirit Refining Realm Spiritual Power was vast as rivers and streams. Once it covered the body, it underwent another qualitative transformation compared to the Bone Forging Realm. With Spiritual Power covering the body, a casual strike could unleash a million jin of force.

Ye Wu, ranked eightieth on the Spirit Refining Ranking, should have possessed at least three to four million jin of force with his Spiritual Power layered atop itself. Yet Hui Mei had actually forced him back. It was simply heaven-defying.

Hui Mei flew backward and, upon landing, staggered back ten steps. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, yet his eyes gleamed coldly. Raising a hand to rub his bald head, he sneered, "Does the Ye Family, one of the Founding Families, have no one left? Such a weak Spirit Refining Realm cultivator actually dares call himself a prodigy. Being weak would be one thing, but you still dared swagger in front of me. If I broke through to the Spirit Refining Realm, I'd kill you with one punch."

"Little bald head, you're simply courting death."

Ye Wu grew even more furious and lifted a foot to charge forward, but Ye Feng raised a hand to stop him. His brows furrowed slightly, and his tone rose a fraction. "Have you made enough of a scene? Aren't you embarrassed enough already?"

"A Spirit Refining Realm cultivator fighting a Bone Forging Realm cultivator and ending up like this—do you think that makes you impressive?"

"Brother Feng, he was the one who—" Ye Wu protested.

"Stand down," Ye Feng said flatly.

Ye Feng held great prestige. Ye Wu gritted his teeth and stepped aside, but his eyes still glinted viciously as he looked at Hui Mei.

"You are from the Cihang Sacred Sect. Guests are guests, and the younger members of my family are ignorant and have offended you." Ye Feng smiled with refined grace.

Hui Mei sneered, refusing Ye Feng's goodwill. He silently mouthed two words at Ye Wu: "Trash."

A trace of gloom flashed through Ye Feng's eyes, too faint to detect, but the smile on his face remained as though he did not mind.

Just then.

Chu Tian's name suddenly appeared on the golden boulder belonging to the Bone Forging Ranking, and the number behind it began to leap wildly.

Chu Tian, one second, twenty Primordial Mammoth Elephants.

Buzz!

A flash of golden light!

Chu Tian, two seconds, one hundred Primordial Mammoth Elephants.

Chu Tian, four seconds, three hundred Primordial Mammoth Elephants.

The numbers changed too quickly, soaring madly in irregular jumps.

Golden light flashed rapidly, dazzling everyone's eyes.

The time barely moved, while the number behind it leaped frantically.

In barely one or two breaths.

Chu Tian, five seconds, five hundred and fifty Primordial Mammoth Elephants.

Six seconds...

Seven seconds, seven hundred and eighty Primordial Mammoth Elephants.

Eight seconds, nine hundred.

Nine seconds, one thousand Primordial Mammoth Elephants.

In just nine seconds—no more than two breaths—the numbers on the golden boulder stopped changing.

Only then did everyone in the hall finally process what had happened.

But once they did, the numbers on the Hengtian Ranking had already frozen!

Inside the hall, one could hear a needle drop. Not a sound broke the silence.

"It really was as easy as stomping on a swarm of ants. How are those Primordial Mammoth Elephants? One stomp kills a whole crowd of them," a disciple suddenly said with a bitter smile.

"Last time, it took thirty seconds. This time, only nine."

"The gap between Bone Forging Realm cultivators feels even greater than the gap between people and pigs."

When the disparity became great enough and the shock too overwhelming, everyone felt weak all over. They no longer knew how to describe what they were feeling—powerless, unable even to complain.

Ye Qiang's eyes were bloodshot, his face deathly pale as he stared at the golden boulder, his entire body trembling violently.

It had been the same last time. He had lain in a pool of blood beneath the boulder, watching the golden numbers leap madly, the shock nearly causing him to stop breathing.

Fortunately, members of the Ye Family had arrived in time to save him. Otherwise, he would have died there.

Two days had passed, and his strength had improved enormously, but the gap between him and Chu Tian seemed to have widened until he could not even see Chu Tian's back.

Ye Feng's gaze darkened slightly, though he still wore a refined smile, as if he were deeply pleased with his brother-in-law's performance.

"This freak," Hui Mei muttered.

And right then, the numbers on the Bone Forging Ranking moved again.

Chu Tian, ten seconds, one True Dragon Cub, one True Roar Cub, one thousand Primordial Mammoth Elephants.

"Damn it, he really kills Primordial Fierce Beasts of the same realm as though butchering dogs." Hui Mei's eyelids twitched violently. Although he believed that he could now contend with and kill Primordial Fierce Beast Cubs as well, he definitely could not do it so easily.

Inside the Testing Space.

"Did it sense that my strength had risen, so the Fierce Beast Cubs tripled to ninety?" Chu Tian's gaze was icy. Vast qi and blood surged into the heavens, Chaos Light flowing over his body. He was like a sharp sword weaving through the beast horde, beast blood spraying everywhere.

Ye Tianxiong had made all the Ye Family disciples act together, putting their backs into suppressing his momentum.

They even wanted to scheme in secret and find an opportunity to cripple him!

This time, he would make Ye Tianxiong understand what a true prodigy was.

Ahead.

Thirty True Dragon Cubs, thirty True Roar Cubs, and thirty Golden Winged Great Peng Cubs charged at him from every direction, above and below.

Simulated by the Hengtian Ranking, they seemed to possess a trace of intelligence. They actually knew how to surround him and attack Chu Tian's weak points.

Dragon roars shook the heavens, Golden Winged Great Peng Cubs flashed like lightning, and True Roar Cubs fought in close quarters. Their coordination was flawless.

"You want to kill me? You're still far from enough."

Chu Tian's eyes were icy. His body flashed like lightning, his speed unimaginably fast. Every move was heavy and forceful, like falling meteors smashing down, making the ground tremble and hum with ear-piercing force.

With a lift of both fists, he blew apart two True Roar Cubs.

With a sweep of his foot, he whipped several Golden Winged Great Peng Cubs into bloody mist.

Reaching Two Million Jin of force from one million jin was not merely an increase in strength, but a qualitative leap.

Chu Tian completely ignored their attacks. Chaos Light flowed over his body. The Golden Winged Great Peng Cubs' sharp claws raked across his back, yet could not even break his skin.

A True Dragon Cub swung its tail into his chest, but could not force him back even half a step. Instead, Chu Tian grabbed it with one hand and swung it like a whip, blasting several True Roar Cubs apart.

Chu Tian moved like lightning, charging back and forth through the vast space as bloody mist billowed.

After several exchanges, all ninety Primordial Fierce Beast Cubs had been slaughtered.

At that moment, the numbers on the outer golden boulder froze once more. Dazzling golden light shone forth, seeming capable of piercing people's eyeballs.

Everyone in the hall stared with eyes wide open, faint blood vessels winding across their eyeballs as heavy breathing rang out continuously.

The line of words on the golden boulder crashed into their minds like lightning, shaking their souls and freezing them in place.

Chu Tian, thirty seconds, thirty True Dragon Cubs, thirty Golden Winged Great Peng Cubs, thirty True Roar Cubs, one thousand Primordial Mammoth Elephants.

It was a long string of numbers, yet every word seemed as heavy as Mount Tai, weighing heavily upon everyone's hearts.
