Fighting Above His Realm Against Void Refinement, a Body Integration Expert Descends

On the other side, the Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace.

"Honglian, I heard that the Lower Realm boy you brought back was so scared that he ran away overnight?"

Lei Jue looked at Honglian, who had just returned, and his face showed undisguised mockery.

"Heh, I knew it! What kind of future could a country bumpkin from the Lower Realm possibly have?"

"You actually had high hopes for him? You were truly... blind!"

Honglian remained expressionless, but her heart sank slightly.

[Has he... really left?]

[Well, perhaps I misjudged him.]

Honglian came here this time intending to look after Dongfang Yueming, since given his status and personality, he might encounter a lot of trouble in the Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace.

Now it seems he was actually scared and ran away?

However, at that very moment!

"Boom--!"

A vast and boundless, terrifying aura, seemingly capable of crushing the heavens, erupted without warning from the distant mountains!

"What?!"

Lei Jue's mocking expression froze instantly!

He stared in that direction in horror, his pupils suddenly contracting!

[Void Refinement?!]

[And... this aura... is even stronger than mine?!]

[This... how is this possible?!]

A figure in green robes appeared, stepping through the air, surrounded by a vast, shimmering world, like a god-king descending!

Indeed, the Dongfang Yueming!

"An extremely... Supreme-Grade Grotto-Heaven?!"

Lei Jue was completely dumbfounded!

He himself is merely High-Grade Grotto-Heaven cultivator! What makes this kid from the Lower Realm so special?!

An uncontrollable surge of jealousy and murderous intent instantly welled up in his heart!

This child... must not be allowed to live!

Ignoring Lei Jue's fiery gaze, Dongfang Yueming went straight to Honglian and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you for your Dharma Manifestation. I... take my leave now."

Honglian was suddenly startled.

I thought they had run away, but I never expected they had already advanced to the Void Refinement!

How long has it been?! To break through to Supreme-Grade Grotto-Heaven so easily without any preparation?!

This is simply unreasonable!

Honglian wanted to say something, but the words stuck in her throat.

She looked at the man before her, who was now at the same level as her, or even surpassed her, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

"Take care of yourself."

Dongfang Yueming nodded, turned around, and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the horizon.

Watching his departing figure, the killing intent in Lei Jue's eyes grew even stronger!

He moved swiftly and quietly followed them.

"Wrong!"

Honglian suddenly felt a chill run down her spine!

[That guy Lei Jue...]

Without any hesitation, she immediately set off to catch up!

However, a towering figure suddenly blocked her way.

"Honglian, where are you going?"

That was an old man with white hair and beard, whose aura was unfathomable; he was clearly a... Nascent Body Integration expert!

It was Lei Jue's master— Venerable Lei!

"Get out of the way!" Honglian shouted coldly.

"Hehe, Honglian, why bother for an outsider?" Venerable Lei said with a smile. "That child Lei Jue just wanted to... have a little sparring with him."

"A friendly spar?" A cold glint One Flash in Honglian's eyes. "I think you're planning to kill and rob me!"

"So what?" Venerable Lei's smile vanished. "He's just an ant from the Lower Realm; his death is nothing. Are you going to start a war with my lineage for his sake?"

Upon hearing this, Honglian's heart sank.

She knew that today, she was afraid... it would be very difficult for her to escape.

[Dongfang Ri...]

[You'll have to rely on yourself now.]

In the Xukong.

Lei Jue, like a purple lightning bolt, clung tightly to Dongfang Yueming's back, his eyes filled with ferocious killing intent!

"Kid! You can't get away!"

"Hand over your secret obediently, and I might spare your life!"

Dongfang Yueming abruptly stopped, turned around, and looked at him calmly.

"I didn't run away."

"I just... didn't want to kill anyone at the gates of the Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace."

"What?!"

Lei Jue was taken aback, then burst into laughter. "Kill me? With your skills, a newbie who just broke through to the next level?"

"Die!"

"Earth-Grade Divine Ability - [Spear of the Thunder God]!"

He conjured a hundred-foot-long thunder spear in his hand, which, with earth-shattering power, stabbed down at Dongfang Yueming!

However, faced with this terrifying attack, Dongfang Yueming simply uttered four words.

"I say... the only one!"

"Boom--!"

A towering Martial Dao statue appeared behind him and unleashed a punch!

The power of Heaven-Grade Divine Ability was fully revealed!

That thunderous spear shattered into pieces instantly under that punch!

Immediately afterwards, the fist imprint continued its momentum and slammed directly into Lei Jue's body!

"No--!"

With a desperate scream, this guardian of the Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace, a powerful expert at the Void Refinement Seventh Stage, was directly blasted into a cloud of blood mist, and even his Primordial Spirit could not escape!

Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace.

Venerable Lei, who was blocking Honglian, suddenly changed his expression drastically!

"Jue'er!!!"

He let out a shrill roar, and an extremely terrifying Body Integration pressure suddenly erupted!

"You little beast! I'm going to kill you!!!"

With a flicker, he tore through the Xukong and teleported towards the battlefield!

Honglian was also shocked!

[Lei Jue... is dead?!]

[That Dongfang Ri... he actually managed to kill Void Refinement Seventh Stage?!]

Without any hesitation, she immediately crushed a communication jade slip to notify the ancestor of her Body Integration!

On the battlefield.

Dongfang Yueming put away Lei Jue's storage ring, and frowned slightly as he sensed the terrifying aura rapidly approaching.

[Body Integration powerhouse...]

[With my current strength, even if I use all my methods, I can probably only barely hold them off. If I advance my other Primordial Spirit to the Void Refinement, I should be able to annihilate them!]

[But this is the territory of the Crimson Dragon Heavenly Palace. If we get bogged down here...]

He made a decisive decision!

[Walk!]

[Leave the Crimson Realm first!]

His figure merged into the Xukong and vanished instantly!

The very next second after he left!

"Boom--!"

The figure of Venerable Lei stepped out from the Xukong, and his terrifying pressure shattered the mountains within a thousand miles into dust!

"Aaaaah! You little beast! Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will tear you to pieces!"

Just then, another towering figure descended.

It was none other than the ancestor of the Honglian Body Integration — Venerable Fire Cloud!

He looked at the lingering terror on the battlefield, a glint of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

"This artistic conception... is definitely Heaven-Grade Divine Ability!"

"Heaven-Grade Divine Ability... that's the key to Mahayana!"

Venerable Lei suddenly turned his head, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Venerable Fire Cloud: "Fire Cloud! Are you going to stop me too?!"

"The hatred for killing my disciple is irreconcilable!"

"As long as you don't interfere, once I kill that brat, the Heaven-Grade Divine Ability... is yours!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Fire Cloud's eyes flashed with a hint of excitement.
