Chen Honghu closed his eyes and covered the seven-colored spirit stone with his spiritual power.
From the outside, the seven-colored spirit stone was just a spirit stone with relatively abundant spiritual power, but upon closer inspection, one could discover that it contained a faint trace of immortal Immortal Qi.
The amount of Immortal Qi was not much, at most equivalent to one-fifth of a complete Immortal Qi, but Chen Honghu still couldn't help but smile.
Finding objects imbued with Immortal Qi in this Primordial World depends entirely on luck, and it seems I've had good luck this time.
"Very good, as long as I find two more strands of Immortal Qi, I can gather a complete set of Immortal Qi," Chen Honghu muttered to himself.
At this point, even his thin face couldn't help but show a hint of anticipation.
If one can gather a complete Immortal Qi, one can exchange it for Primordial Token, thus gaining a chance to enter the " Land of the Extreme Dao ".
Actually, compared to that mysterious Land of the Extreme Dao, Chen Honghu was more concerned about the Primordial Hall!
He knew that without the existence of the Primordial Hall, everything he had achieved would be gone. Therefore, Chen Honghu's gratitude towards the Hall Master of the Primordial Hall was beyond words.
Just as Chen Honghu was deep in thought, a sinister voice suddenly rang out.
"Heh, I didn't realize you were so lucky, though, that you weren't very strong!"
"He's only at the Saint King Realm, yet he's almost gathered a wisp of Immortal Qi."
Chen Honghu looked up and headed towards the source of the sound.
A middle-aged man dressed in black was standing on a branch of an ancient tree not far away, his eyes filled with undisguised greed as he looked at Chen Honghu as a piece of fat meat.
There's usually only one reason why someone can provoke others with such an arrogant tone: that person is stronger than them!
Chen Honghu was aware of this as well. Based on his deduction, the man in black was probably at the Early Saint Venerable Realm, slightly higher than himself.
However, Chen Honghu's expression did not change much in the face of such provocation. He simply put away the seven-colored spirit stone without saying a word and then began to walk away.
Judging solely from Chen Honghu's performance, one might easily mistake the man in black for someone who doesn't even exist.
Such blatant threats were more effective than any harsh words. The man standing on the tree branch immediately turned extremely gloomy, and his eyes revealed a terrifying killing intent.
"He's just a mere Saint King, yet he dares to disregard me," the man in black thought irritably.
According to his original plan, once Chen Honghu saw his strength, he would surely beg for mercy and offer up rare treasures. If he was in a good mood, he might even grant him a complete corpse. But now it seems there's no need for that!
"You're asking for death!" the man in black said, enunciating each word clearly.
"Boom..."
The man in black waved his hand, and a terrifying surge of spiritual energy erupted from his body, indicating the power of someone at the Early Saint Venerable Realm.
"Buzz..."
The void twisted slightly as the man in black used his spiritual power to condense nine black pythons, each ten thousand meters long.
Nine pythons lay prostrate on the ground and rushed swiftly towards Chen Honghu.
Before this, Chen Honghu had been walking silently forward until he heard the noise behind him. He then slowly turned around but did not rush to move. Instead, he glanced at the man in black.
That glance was filled with cold indifference, and for some reason, it made the black-clad man, who usually lived a life of danger, involuntarily tense up.
This feeling was somewhat familiar to him.
This feeling of unease arises when one's own strength is far inferior to that of the opponent.
However, the frail boy before him was merely a minor Saint King.
Even the spirit beast he just killed was actually at the Saint King level.
Thinking this, the man in black couldn't help but shake his head, realizing he had been overthinking it; this terrifying aura definitely didn't come from the thin boy.
"Could there be someone else around?" The man in black subconsciously looked around, but found no movement.
In fact, he had been observing this thin boy for quite some time.
This thin boy always traveled alone, and apart from being slightly stronger in combat than the Saint King, he had nothing particularly special about him.
Moreover, judging from his clothes and appearance, he didn't seem to be a disciple of any of the major sects in the Southern Heaven Great Domain.
The thin boy looked young, but he didn't resemble any of the prodigies in the story.
After all, the cultivators on the Southern Heaven Great Domain 'Heaven's Chosen Ranking could not possibly be merely Saint King level.
Thinking this, the man in black breathed a sigh of relief, "That was terrifying! I almost thought I was going to crash! It seems this brat was just lucky!"
However, this kid's luck was truly remarkable. The man in black followed him for a short while and found that in such a short time, he had already gathered quite a few rare and precious materials.
This time, I only killed a Saint King- level spirit beast, yet I gained a trace of Immortal Qi.
If it weren't for the fact that Chen Honghu was about to gather a wisp of Immortal Qi, and the man in black was worried that delaying would lead to unforeseen complications, he really wouldn't have had the heart to speak up.
Judging from today's momentum, Chen Honghu, this fat sheep, still has room to grow even fatter.
However, all of this was ultimately just a fantasy in the man's mind.
If things were as the man in black had planned, he should have already knocked Chen Honghu to the ground and taken all the rare and precious materials he had just acquired for himself.
However, the truth is that when the nine spiritual pythons moved close to the ground and suddenly appeared in front of Chen Honghu, his expression remained unchanged.
Upon closer inspection, it appeared as if Chen Honghu had been standing in front of the spiritual python all along, waiting for it.
Chen Honghu didn't even need to do anything else; he only needed to raise his arm and throw a punch to land a perfectly placed blow on the black python, imbued with his spiritual power.
"Boom..."
Each time he throws a punch, a vast power erupts from Chen Honghu's body, spreading outwards from his center.
"Click..."
The spiritual python didn't even have time to struggle before it shattered in mid-air.
Chen Honghu dealt with the nine black pythons in less than three breaths. The man in black only saw a terrifying surge of blood energy, like a pillar of light, instantly soar into the sky.
"Splash... splash... splash..."
A series of sounds came from the lush forest, and all the branches tilted in one direction.
Upon seeing this, the man in black turned pale and realized something was wrong. In an instant, he could only feel terrifying spiritual energy surging towards him, the pressure was immense.
