Traces of an Alien Species

"BOOM!!!"

In that instant, a thick cloud of tribulation suddenly gathered above Dongfang Yueming's quiet room!

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Fusion successful!]

[Achieved Earth-Grade Divine Ability - "Myriad Tribulations Immortal-Slaying Sword Array" (Perfection)!]

"Whoosh!"

A profound and terrifying sword light, seemingly capable of severing reincarnation and cause and effect, One Flash and disappeared in Dongfang Yueming 'Sea of Consciousness.

Earth-Grade Divine Ability!

Even in the top-tier fourth-grade or even third-grade sects, this level of supernatural Divine Ability is a sect-protecting treasure, untouchable by anyone other than a core elder!

"Call..."

Dongfang Yueming let out a long breath, dispelled the formation, and walked out of the quiet room.

The outer room.

Hong Gui, Baihu, and Lu Qingxue waited anxiously. When they saw Dongfang Yueming walk out unharmed, and without emitting any true energy fluctuations, as if he had become an ordinary person.

"You... you failed?"

Looking at his unassuming demeanor, Lu Qingxue felt a strange sense of loss that she herself didn't even realize. She had originally thought that this man, who kept creating miracles, could truly defy common sense.

"Fail?"

Dongfang Yueming smiled slightly. He did not release any pressure, but simply extended a finger and gently tapped the table made of Mystic Iron Essence Metal.

"Click."

No magic was used.

That incredibly hard black iron table, which even Dharma Manifestation Realm couldn't leave a mark on, was instantly reduced to a pile of fine powder by Dongfang Yueming's casual finger strike, just like fragile tofu!

"This..."

Upon seeing this, Lu Qingxue gasped, her clear, cold eyes widening instantly!

"Returning to simplicity... absolute inner strength..."

She stared at Dongfang Yueming in disbelief, her voice trembling, "You... you actually reached... the Golden Body Realm?!"

Moreover, this absolute control over power is something that ordinary beginners to the Golden Body cannot achieve!

Although Hong Gui and Baihu did not understand the mysteries of the Golden Body Realm, seeing Lu Qingxue's shocked expression, they knew that their man had done something extraordinary again. Their eyes were filled with admiration and admiration.

"Just basic stuff."

Dongfang Yueming walked to the table and sat down, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

"Qingxue, since you are the Holy Maiden of the Taibai Sword Sect Shangyin Academy, right?"

He took out a piece of paper from his storage ring, and with a surge of magical power flowing from his fingertips, he quickly sketched a lifelike portrait on the paper.

The person in the portrait was the same "genius" from the Shangyin Academy who had been possessed by a demon from the Primordial Sea when he searched the Soul Lingtai Demon King.

"Look, do you recognize this person?"

Lu Qingxue took the portrait with some doubt and examined it carefully.

A moment later, her brows furrowed tightly.

"This person... looks familiar, like I've seen them somewhere before."

Lu Qingxue tried hard to recall, but her eyes grew increasingly confused. "But I can't remember his name, or even which branch of the Shangyin Academy he belonged to."

Upon hearing this...

Dongfang Yueming's face instantly darkened.

"As the Holy Maiden of the Sword Sect, the people you've met are all extremely wealthy and powerful. The fact that you feel they look familiar but can't remember them—what does that mean?"

Dongfang Yueming's voice was icy, "This means that this person's status is extremely high! So high that he doesn't need to show his face in public at all, and... he may have used some kind of sophisticated mental technique to blur the memories of those who have seen him!"

"This method..."

Lu Qingxue's face was deathly pale, and her voice trembled, "At least... only a terrifying being above the [Divine Transformation Realm] could do that!"

Divine Transformation Realm!

That was a terrifying power that surpassed both the Golden Body Realm and the Origin Return Realm! It was a supreme being whose soul and laws had completely merged, transforming into an immortal Primordial Spirit!

"Divine Transformation Realm..."

Dongfang Yueming tapped her fingers lightly on the table.

"Above the Golden Body lies the Return to Origin, above the Return to Origin lies Spirit Transformation. And above Spirit Transformation, there are Nirvana, Saint King, Emperor..."

"Does a top-tier sect like Shangyin Academy have a [Emperor Realm] expert in charge?" Dongfang Yueming asked.

"Yes."

Lu Qingxue swallowed hard. "Not only are there emperors, but also... powerful beings above the Divine Transformation Realm who can materialize the laws they have comprehended, condensing a [domain] that absolutely suppresses those of the same level!"

"Within their domain, they are gods! Attacks that are not at least at the Earth-Grade Divine Ability simply cannot break through the domain's seal!"

Earth-Grade Divine Ability!

Upon hearing this request, Dongfang Yueming showed no fear; instead, a confident sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.

He just happens to have a newly created, Perfection Earth-Grade Divine Ability right now Myriad Tribulations Immortal-Slaying Sword Array!

"Even with Earth-Grade Divine Ability, we cannot let our guard down."

Dongfang Yueming stood up, his eyes flashing with a wolf-like aggressive light.

"I am currently missing four Yellow Grade Golden Body Method to synthesize Heaven Grade Golden Body and reach the Top-Tier Perfection ' Rebirth from a Drop of Blood ' realm."

"Let's go, it's time to 'visit' the other sixth-grade sects in the Southern Wasteland."

Half a day later.

In the heart of the Southern Wasteland Wilderness, Blazing Fire Sect.

As a renowned sixth-grade fire-element sect in the Southern Wasteland Wilderness, the Blazing Fire Sect's foundation is in no way inferior to that of the previous Blood Sword Sect.

"Boom--!!!"

With a deafening roar, the Blazing Fire Sect's proud protective fire sea formation was blasted open by a Golden Body fist imprint as heavy as a mountain, leaving a huge hole!

"Enemy attack!!!"

The warning bells of the Blazing Fire Sect rang continuously, and countless elders and disciples dressed in crimson Daoist robes poured out as if a hornet's nest had been stirred up.

"Who dares to offend my Blazing Fire Sect?!"

The sect leader of the Blazing Fire Sect, a volatile old man in the Early Golden Body Realm, was engulfed in raging flames as he soared into the sky.

However.

He was greeted by a slap from Dongfang Yueming that was extremely casual, yet contained the terrifying power of the [Myriad Dharmas Indestructible Body].

"Bang!"

The sect leader of the Blazing Fire Sect didn't even have time to unleash his Divine Ability before his protective Golden Body body was instantly shattered, and he crashed into the main hall of the peak like a kite with a broken string.

The entire hall fell silent.

Dongfang Yueming hovered above the Blazing Fire Sect with his hands behind his back. Hong Gui, Baihu, and Lu Qingxue followed behind him, looking down at the trembling high-ranking members of the Blazing Fire Sect.

The three women's feelings were extremely complicated. Especially Lu Qingxue, who never dreamed that one day she would follow a man and rob a sixth-grade sect like a bandit. Moreover, this man was now a terrifying monster capable of shattering a Golden Body Realm cultivator with a single slap!

"I only seek wealth, I will not kill."

Dongfang Yueming looked down, his tone flat and without any inflection, "Hand over all the Golden Body Method and Divine Ability jade slips of your sect that are at least Yellow Grade."

Under the absolute threat of death and overwhelming force.

The higher-ups of the Blazing Fire Sect gave in.

A moment later.

Dongfang Yueming was satisfied with what he found in the Blazing Fire Sect's treasury: a Yellow Grade Golden Body Method and two Yellow-Grade Divine Ability.

To demonstrate his "stick and sweet treat" strategy, before leaving, he casually tossed the Blazing Fire Sect Master a Profound Grade cultivation technique that he had previously synthesized. This gave the Blazing Fire Sect Master, who was originally filled with humiliation, a fleeting feeling of gratitude.

"Let's go, next one."

Next.

Dongfang Yueming, accompanied by three women, "visited" the nearby Flying Star Valley as quickly as autumn leaves.

These sects had no time to prepare, let alone organize an effective resistance.

Through a combination of kindness and severity.

Dongfang Yueming's storage bag received another item: a Yellow Grade Golden Body and three Yellow-Grade Divine Ability!
