Zhu Yue and Lü Changkong shuddered.
Just as the two were about to strike.
Chu Luo was also preparing to act, and the tension had reached its breaking point.
Suddenly, a violent tremor came from the depths of the tranquil sea of fire.
Everyone started and looked up!
The crimson flames within the sea of fire churned once more, surging toward the Flame-Forging Cauldron!
In an instant, the towering sea of fire vanished into the cauldron!
The next moment, a white figure flew out of the Flame-Forging Cauldron!
"Senior Brother Dan!!"
The gravely wounded Pill Sect disciples cried out in excitement at the sight of that familiar figure!
Boom...
Then Dan Chenzi's aura began rising rapidly!
"He's breaking through!"
"He obtained the Ancient Pill Great Emperor's inheritance...!"
Every expert present felt the aura radiating from Dan Chenzi, and their expressions shifted.
Greed showed on some of their faces.
Among them were Du Sheng, Zhao Tianyu, and Han Wujie!
"Heh..."
"Breaking through?!"
"What a perfect opportunity!"
Du Sheng sneered, and a Spirit Sword appeared in his hand.
At that moment, Chu Luo also noticed Du Sheng's movement.
He glanced around and found everyone's attention fixed on Dan Chenzi!
Chu Luo's eyes lit up, and a smile curved his lips.
He immediately gave the Forbidden Sect disciples beside him a meaningful look.
His junior brothers caught his look and froze for a moment.
Then, in an instant, they understood!
They nodded!
Hum...
"Forbidden Secret Arts, Spatial Displacement!"
Chu Luo's gaze sharpened. His body flickered, and he vanished in the blink of an eye!
Han Wujie, who had been watching Dan Chenzi, suddenly sensed a familiar figure appearing before him.
He hurriedly tore his gaze away from Dan Chenzi!
The next moment, an utterly harmless smile filled his vision!
Han Wujie's pupils contracted, and his expression changed drastically!
"Hehe..."
"This time, not even a Great Emperor can save you!"
"Forbidden Secret Arts, Calamity Poison Finger!"
Boom...
Chu Luo grinned and swiftly thrust out the hand hidden inside his sleeve!
He pressed two fingers together, aiming at Han Wujie, who stood within arm's reach.
Then he flicked his fingers forward!
A beam of black light instantly shot from between them!
"Junior Brother Han, watch out!"
At that moment, Du Sheng and Zhao Tianyu reacted as well.
By the time they noticed Chu Luo.
He had already attacked Han Wujie!
Both were horrified, with no idea when Chu Luo had appeared before Han Wujie.
They had not sensed a thing!
What an eerie movement technique!
They had never expected Chu Luo to choose this moment to launch a sneak attack, either!
Damn it, what a sneaky bastard!
Fury filled them, and they immediately unleashed their immense power, converging on Chu Luo to kill him!
At that moment, Han Wujie had no time to react at all!
The black beam shot straight into his body!
"You... ah..."
"What did you do to me?!"
"Ah..."
Agonizing pain instantly wracked Han Wujie's entire body.
It felt as though ten thousand ants were gnawing at his bones.
He could clearly sense his vitality and spiritual power rapidly draining away.
Meanwhile, eerie black vapor began rising from his flesh as it gradually rotted...
Han Wujie's heart-rending screams drew everyone's attention back!
"W-what happened...?"
"Hiss... what technique did Chu Luo... use...? How vicious..."
Seeing Han Wujie writhing on the ground with his flesh rotting, the experts all sucked in cold breaths and swallowed hard...
They stared at the retreating Chu Luo, their faces filled with wariness...
"Junior Brother Han!"
"Chu Luo, you're courting death!"
Boom...
Du Sheng and Zhao Tianyu charged in, consumed by rage.
They hurtled toward Chu Luo at tremendous speed!
Chu Luo leaped up and extended the other hand hidden inside his sleeve!
Everyone saw a deep purple glow swirling around his palm.
It gave off a sizzling sound...
Chu Luo grinned and feigned a palm strike at the charging Du Sheng and Zhao Tianyu!
"Forbidden Secret Arts, Heart-Ravaging Purple Poison Palm!"
Du Sheng and Zhao Tianyu's expressions changed drastically as they charged.
They immediately halted and dodged to either side!
Boom...
"Ah..."
"Ah... what the hell is this...? My heart hurts so much..."
"Ah... kill me... I can't take it anymore..."
"..."
Before everyone's horrified eyes.
Chu Luo's palm strike did not blast toward Du Sheng and Zhao Tianyu.
Instead, it struck the dozen or so Crimson Flame Valley disciples and the Spiritclear Sect disciples blocking their escape route!
An illusory purple palm print exploded among the disciples of both sects!
Specks of purple light burrowed into their bodies.
The disciples of both sects collapsed to the ground, screaming in agony.
No one had expected this scene.
Launching an ambush while everyone was distracted was bad enough!
But Chu Luo had even feinted east to strike west!
What meticulous scheming!
As everyone watched, the skin of the dozens of disciples from both sects turned purple, and their lives gradually faded amid their wails!
As for Han Wujie, Crimson Flame Valley's prodigy, he had already become a puddle of rotten flesh!
From ambushing Han Wujie to feinting east and striking west against the disciples of the two great factions.
The entire sequence had taken only a few breaths!
"What a perfect opportunity!"
The Forbidden Sect disciples immediately rushed forward, picked up their fellow disciples who had been beaten black and blue, along with the dozen or so Pill Sect disciples, and swiftly carried everyone away from the battlefield.
At that moment, Du Sheng and Zhao Tianyu of Crimson Flame Valley, along with Zhu Yue and Lü Changkong of the Spiritclear Sect, no longer paid those Forbidden Sect disciples any attention.
Their bloodthirsty gazes were fixed on Chu Luo, who had stepped into the air, and brimmed with boundless fury!
"Chu Luo, you're courting death!"
Boom...
The four prodigies-Zhu Yue, Lü Changkong, Du Sheng, and Zhao Tianyu-unleashed their powerful auras together.
Weapons in hand, the four prodigies manifested towering phenomena around their bodies.
They stepped forward and attacked Chu Luo in the air simultaneously!
Zhu Yue, Lü Changkong, and Du Sheng were all at the first stage of the Great Beginning Realm!
The remaining Zhao Tianyu was at the peak of the Divine Soul Realm!
The experts from the many factions present all paled in horror.
They had never expected things to reach this point!
In such a short time, the Spiritclear Sect and Crimson Flame Valley had suffered devastating casualties at Chu Luo's hands...
Now, no one present, whether powerful rogue cultivators or prodigies from other top factions, dared underestimate Chu Luo in the slightest...
Otherwise, if they faced him, Han Wujie, who had already become a puddle of mashed flesh, would be a warning of their fate!
High in the air.
Seeing the four attacking him together, Chu Luo immediately spoke silently in his mind:
System, how many Apprentice-Protection Points do I need to break through to the Great Beginning Realm?!
Chu Luo intended to use the system to break through to the Great Beginning Realm immediately!
Otherwise, with his current cultivation, facing four prodigies at once would be too much to handle!
[Requires 10,000 Apprentice-Protection Points!]
Seeing that it would cost ten thousand Apprentice-Protection Points made Chu Luo's heart ache.
After all, Apprentice-Protection Points were hard to come by!
He still needed to save up two million to exchange for the Longevity Body!
But at that moment, he had no time to dwell on it!
Exchange!
Chu Luo gave the silent command and flipped one hand.
A Spirit Sword appeared in his grasp.
Looking at the four prodigies about to reach him, Chu Luo laughed, his spirit soaring as he declared:
"If you want a fight, then let's fight!"
"Great Beginning Realm, break through!"
Boom...
At Chu Luo's shout.
An astonishing aura shot skyward from his body!
Immense power rolled down in crushing waves!
The four prodigies immediately stopped, staring at Chu Luo in horror!
Under everyone's scrutiny.
Chu Luo, who had originally been only at the fourth stage of the Divine Soul Realm, broke through two minor stages in the blink of an eye.
His cultivation reached the first stage of the Great Beginning Realm!
Everyone stood dumbfounded, their faces filled with shock...
Chu Luo was simply a monster, breaking through whenever he pleased!
And he had broken through two minor stages in a single breath!
"Amazing!"
Yun Qianqian, who had been watching the battle all along, looked at Chu Luo after his breakthrough to the Great Beginning Realm, and astonishment once again filled her face...
After all, Chu Luo had only just advanced from the Divine Soul Second Realm to the fourth stage of the Divine Soul Realm!
An ordinary cultivator would not even have stabilized their cultivation yet.
But Chu Luo had broken through again!
"Kill him!"
"Chu Luo, die!"
Zhu Yue roared in fury and drove his immense power toward Chu Luo.
The other three prodigies also recovered from their shock and charged in to kill him...
Seeing this, Yun Qianqian sprang into motion.
She stepped forward!
"Young Master Chu, let me help you!"
Buzz, buzz, buzz...
"Brother Chu, fear not! Let me help you!!"
