Along the way, Yu Tunzhou clearly noticed that there were quite a few hidden posts.

One by one, Form Refinement, Qi Ingestion martial artists were lurking in various places, many of them possessing obvious bloodthirsty Sha Qi.

Those eyes and expressions clearly indicated they weren't law-abiding citizens; they were most likely bandits or outlaws. I wonder if they were subordinates of the Seven Bandits of the Western Desert who were searching for the Feng Yanleng.

Yu Tunzhou was cautious. When he passed a shop, he casually picked up an iron sword and its scabbard, which he wore at his waist as a disguise.

Those who know him know that he is famous for his boxing skills. With so many passersby, it's impossible for them to look closely. If they see the sword at his waist, they would probably filter him out immediately.

Thinking of this, Yu Tunzhou pressed down his straw hat, thinking that being bald would actually attract more attention.

The Buddhist School ancestral temples consist of three temples and one nunnery. Among them, Little Thunderclap Temple is located somewhere in the Western Desert, but few people can find its entrance. Only those with a karmic connection to Buddhism can visit the temple.

Therefore, among Buddhists around the world, there are often pilgrims who travel to the Western Desert to see if they are destined to be connected with Buddhism.

After leaving Western Yang Pass, Yu Tunzhou traveled along the official road for a day. Following the map in his mind, he stepped onto a small path and traveled through the night, finally arriving a few miles west of Falling Star Gorge.

This is an abandoned mountain village, long since deserted, with only a dozen dilapidated mud-brick houses and rubble scattered everywhere.

The moonlight shone on the ruins, casting a stark white glow on the broken earthen walls and collapsed beams.

The village was eerily silent, devoid of any lights.

Yu Tunzhou passed through the mountain village, intending to go directly to Falling Star Gorge, but stopped halfway and squatted down to take a look.

Surprisingly, there were quite a few footprints in the village, including both human and horse hoofprints.

Judging from the appearance, it was left in the last few days.

Yu Tunzhou stood up and glanced around.

It seems that quite a few people have visited this place in the past few days.

At this critical juncture, he ruled out accidents and coincidences, focusing his suspicions on Hua Nongying.

He wondered if Heroine Feng and Hero Yu were prepared.

In an instant, he entered a state of Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person, concealing his own aura, his figure merging into the moonlight of the night, disappearing from the spot, and heading towards Falling Star Gorge three miles away.

Before long, Yu Tunzhou stopped and climbed to a high point, where he could see the bottomless ravine not far away.

He was about to set off when he was drawn by the clamor of horses' hooves in the distance.

The sound of horses' hooves was rapid, like a series of hurried drumbeats in the Gobi Desert under the night sky.

Interspersed among these were the panicked urgings of women and the menacing, cruel words of bandits.

Yu Tunzhou remained motionless, standing atop the sand dune, waiting quietly.

Soon, four figures appeared in the Gobi Desert below: two women and two men, their bodies low to the ground, riding a unique breed of horse native to the Western Desert. One of the women kept looking back and urging the horse to go faster in a low voice.

A dozen or so men were chasing after them. The leader was a burly man with a thick beard, riding a black horse and wielding a curved knife. Behind him were a dozen or so bandits, all of them looking fierce and menacing.

They were like a pack of wolves on the hunt, using all sorts of foul language and threats to frighten the four people in front of them.

Yu Tunzhou looked up at the sky and then recalled the surrounding terrain map.

The map provided by Gold-Wielding Guard was detailed enough, even including the transportation routes of various chambers of commerce.

The Falling Star Gorge is located deep in the Gobi Desert, and apart from this abandoned village, the nearest city is over a hundred miles away.

At the same time, this place was far from the main road, and the nearest trade route was dozens of miles away. He really couldn't imagine that this could be a "chance encounter" at this time and place.

Suddenly, the long-legged woman among the four leaned to one side, seemingly startled by the words behind her. She lost her balance and fell off her horse, rolling more than ten times before coming to a stop unconscious.

"Zhiqing!"

The three people in front shouted urgently, and another woman immediately turned her horse around to help. The other two strong men also stopped and turned back to help.

The Yu Tunzhou, perched high above, slowly sat down, showing no intention of playing the hero and rescuing the damsel in distress.

After Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person, his senses expanded dramatically.

Even with a height difference of a hundred meters, one could clearly sense that the woman's Qi and Blood were well-developed; she was at least a martial artist at the Form Refinement Lesser Accomplishment.

Even in a panic, how could you possibly fall off your horse?

Then all that Martial Dao training has been for nothing.

Isn't this treating the audience like idiots?

Soon, the burly man with the thick beard who was leading the way caught up. He dismounted menacingly, kicked the woman who had returned to help, and roared, "Who the hell told you to come back and save people?"

"Keep running, Laozi!"

The woman nodded hastily and scrambled onto the horse.

The burly man with the thick beard cautiously looked around, his gaze sweeping over several high points. Confirming that no one was around, he remounted his horse and led his men to continue the pursuit.

At a high vantage point he had swept across, Yu Tunzhou stroked his chin, realizing he was looking for extras.

With his current state of Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person, even if he stood here, he wouldn't be "seen" by that bearded man.

Yu Tunzhou stood up, surveying the deep night around him, wondering how many powerful figures might be lurking within.

Two fists can't fight four hands, so we still need to be careful and find Heroine Feng and the others first.

"Can Lady Hua's plan really work?"

Sun Xiongman gazed at the distance of several miles, frowning. "I'm afraid this will backfire and alert them prematurely."

"This method, though crude, is enough to lure hot-blooded young people new to the martial world." Hua Nongying frowned at first, surprised by her subordinate's poor acting, then explained, "That Yu Tunzhou dared to kill Jin Xiongfei on the Jin Household's territory for the lives of a few dozen insignificant people. It's clear he's a hypocrite. These kinds of people love to help those in need, especially when it comes to rescuing a beautiful woman."

Sun Xiongman. He didn't actually think there was anything wrong with the plan, but he just thought these useless people were acting too stupidly.

--

He turned and asked, "Where is Fourth Brother Yan?"

Hua Nongying shook her head. "I don't know."

Sun Xiongman frowned. They had been there for two days, but there was no sign of anyone around, and they hadn't seen Yu Tunzhou and his group at all.

Is the "Xuandu" lineage truly located here?

He always felt it wasn't that simple; otherwise, how could Helian Tu and his men have failed to find them for ten years?

Yu Tunzhou officially set foot in Falling Star Gorge.

The canyon was deeper than he had imagined.

He stood at the edge of the rift valley and looked down. The moonlight could only illuminate the cliff face for about ten feet, and beyond that was pitch black, as if leading to the Nine Netherworlds.

After a moment's thought, he jumped in.

With the Seven Bandits ' troops lying in ambush all around, they can't shout loudly, making it quite difficult to find the two.

--

As he ventured deeper, visibility decreased significantly, so he spread out his Primordial Spirit.

In a state of Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person, his perception spreads outwards like an invisible net.

As they ventured deeper, Yu Tunzhou suddenly noticed that his Chaos Dao Embryo had stirred.

This unusual moment caught his attention.

After the initial formation of the Dao Embryo, it is not immutable.

Using Martial Intention to refine and refine the Dao Embryo, and most importantly, to confirm the Dao Path, is itself a way to further promote the growth of the Dao Embryo.

Besides these, there are two other possibilities.

One type is an extremely rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures, which is of great benefit to the cultivation of a martial artist's Dao Embryo. Such a rare item is extremely rare, and even the Danyang Qian Household has no way to obtain it.

Another possibility is "fate".

Because martial artists' Dao Embryo are not the same, especially since they involve different Dao Path, certain things may have a beneficial effect on the Dao Embryo of some people, but be useless to others.

There are no clues to be found in this kind of thing; you can only figure it out yourself, so it depends on fate.

Even for aristocratic families and sects, after establishing a complete system of inheritance, hundreds of years of attempts may not be enough to find a suitable thing.

Yu Tunzhou sensed the activity of the Dao Embryo and informed Huntian about it.

The latter, with wings on its back, hummed in agreement and said, "Your Dao Embryo is quite extraordinary. The things I can think of suitable for its growth are far beyond your current strength. Things like [Innate One], [Chaos Dao Sprout], and [World Tree Sapling]—even at my peak, I would have coveted these things."

Yu Tunzhou secretly memorized the names of these things.

"It seems that this place might indeed contain fragments of the High Antiquity world."

Huntian pondered, "Falling Star Gorge, a gorge where stars from outer space crashed down? The Central Plains is the central hub of heaven and earth; not just any star could crash into it. And back then, the most notable stars were all the training grounds of great figures from all sides—"

Yu Tunzhou asked curiously, "Where was the Great Sage's dojo located back then?"

He wondered if he would be able to find the location of this Daoist temple in the future. Given this person's status, surely he must have left behind quite a few treasures?

He and the Great Sage are so familiar with each other, they don't distinguish between "you" and "me"!

"Hey! Back in the day, I, along with a few sworn brothers, were quite a force to be reckoned with in our region, so naturally—"

Huntian, who had been in high spirits, suddenly became dejected. He thought of the day he was caught by the Human Emperor, with nowhere to go but to the heavens and the earth, and how none of his sworn brothers who were still alive had offered him a helping hand.

It remained silent for a moment before saying, "We'll talk about it another time. If you want to go to my sacred ground, you'll at least need to reach the External Scenery, which allows you to freely travel through the Void."

Having said that, Huntian shook his wings and said solemnly, "Since your Dao Embryo has reacted, it proves that there are either extraordinary objects here, or it leads directly to the Primordial Era. Before the Primordial Era, there were many primordial energies like [Innate One Qi] that existed in the world."

"Hopefully, we'll find something." Yu Tunzhou nodded, following the sensations of the Dao Embryo, and headed towards a certain spot in the canyon.

Soon, a figure that had been lying in wait for a long time appeared in his Primordial Spirit perception. The other party only sensed him when he got close enough to be more than ten meters away.

Soon, the other party also noticed and hissed, "Who?!"

Upon hearing this voice, Yu Tunzhou smiled and said, "Hero Yu?"

"----Is it Young Hero Yu?" the other party asked, surprised and delighted.

The two sides quickly met up; the other side was none other than Yuyang.

"Young Hero Yu, thank goodness you found us!" Yuyang sighed. "We were planning to wait for you outside, but we encountered a formidable enemy and were forced to retreat into the depths of the canyon. Yanleng is inside. I was just thinking of leaving you some message at the valley entrance."

"Please come with me! We can talk on the way!"

Yuyang led the way, and despite the extremely winding terrain and low visibility, he still walked very fast, clearly very familiar with the place.

On the way.

"I also encountered a group of bandits earlier—"

The Yu Tunzhou provided a brief description of what had been seen before.

Yuyang praised, "Young Hero Yu, at such a young age, you are so meticulous and observant. I admire you greatly. Back in the day, I made quite a few mistakes because of my recklessness."

He shook his head, and to get straight to the point, said seriously, "Young Hero Yu, when you came in just now, did you encounter a figure dressed in black with a sword at his waist?"

Yu Tunzhou shakes its head.

Yu Yang Spirit expression, "Yanleng, several invited friends, and I were just ambushed by this person, and two of us died on the spot! One of them was Brother Zhang Ping of Twin Rivers Commandery, known as the [Gold-Breaking Hand]. He was only at the Half-Step External Scenery level, yet he couldn't even withstand two strikes from that person! Although the ambush played a part, this person must be at the External Scenery level!"

Yu Tunzhou looked grave.

On one hand, they were surprised by the impressive lineup of Yuyang's team; it seemed they had indeed come prepared and had brought in foreign aid.

If Hua Nongying were greedy and wanted to monopolize the inheritance, coming alone would inevitably lead to a futile attempt.

On the other hand, there are hidden enemies. As an expert at the External Scenery, he actually launched a sneak attack on a group of martial artists at the External Scenery. What the martial arts world fears most is such an expert who has no "burden" of being a master!

Even now, if someone were to launch a sneak attack on him from the External Scenery, he would most likely not be able to withstand it.

He has already experienced the complete Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person, and the power to mobilize the forces of heaven and earth is far beyond what can be seen in the External Scenery.

All Blood Qi, Inner Qi, and Gang Qi appear far too weak in the face of the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

Yuyang said in a low voice, "If I'm not mistaken, this person should be the fourth of the Seven Bandits, [Black Saber] Yan Wen, the First Layer of External Scenery!"

Fortunately, the Heroine Feng used a secret technique to temporarily force this person back.

Yu Tunzhou's thoughts shifted.

The External Scenery Fifth Layer, each floor representing a different level of experience.

It seems that Hua Nongying didn't intend to take it all for herself, but instead dragged others along!

Are the Seven Bandits of the Western Desert really that united?

He said softly, "I wonder if the first three of the Seven Bandits have come this time."

If those people come, then we'll have no choice but to run for our lives.

Yuyang shook his head. "Young Hero Yu, don't worry. We've already received the news that the bandit leader Helian Tu has been targeted by [Marquis Who Guards the West] Qin Zang, and the second and third largest bandits have gone to meet Helian Tu."

As for Yan Wen—

He smiled wryly and said, "It's not that we weren't prepared for Yan Wen; we had made relevant preparations. But we didn't expect him to launch a sudden surprise attack, catching us completely off guard."

Yu Tunzhou nodded in agreement.

Whether a sneak attack is a despicable act or whether all's fair in war, and even has its merits, depends entirely on whether one is the attacker or the attacked.

As they spoke, the two arrived at a certain place deep in the canyon.

"Brother Yu?"

A wary figure ahead inquired, and several chilling Martial Intention simultaneously locked onto their direction. Yu Tunzhou's heart tightened; these were all powerful individuals!

"It's me, and Young Hero Yu is here too!" Yuyang replied.

Those Martial Intention then gradually dissipated.

As the group approached, Yuyang introduced the two sides.

Besides Yuyang and Feng Yanleng, they also searched for four other people, all of whom were at the Late Divine Ability Stage Power realm to the Half-Step External Scenery. However, only three of them remain now.

They are Qin He (Heavenly Mysterious Palm), Ye Jing (Twin Golden Sabers), and Master Yile.

All three are longtime friends of Yuyang and powerful figures in Twin Rivers Commandery and the surrounding areas, each guarding their own territory.

Yuyang is a generous and magnanimous man. Those who can become his friends for many years, even if they are a bit eccentric, are not much different in character.

"Greetings, Benefactor Yu." Master Yile clasped his hands together in prayer.

Yu Tunzhou and the three men bowed to each other.

Qin He returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

Ye Jing asked directly, "May I ask, Young Hero Yu, is the Divine Ability you used to kill Jin Xiongfei not long ago still usable?"

Yu Tunzhou was taken aback and asked, "Your Excellency, do you intend to deal with Yan Wen?"

Ye Jing gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Zhang was attacked and killed by him. If I can't get something back from this person, how will I have the face to face Brother Zhang's family in the future!"

Master Yile clasped his hands together, uttered a Buddhist chant, and though he was a member of the Buddhist School, there was also the wrath of a Vajra in his eyes.

Yuyang's eyes darkened. "I also bear responsibility for this, causing Brother Zhang to end up like this."

Qin He said in a deep voice, "Brother Yu, what are you saying? You invited us to explore the secret realm together, which is a great favor. Brother Zhang was already prepared before coming."

Immediately, he looked at Ye Jing and said sincerely, "Brother Ye, I know your intentions, but Heroine Feng cannot unleash a second sword strike in a short time. Even if we join forces to contend with Yan An, who can stop him?"

"Our immediate plan is to enter the secret realm and find the inheritance. As long as our strength improves, we will have no shortage of opportunities to seek revenge on Yan Wen!"

"Conversely, if we all die at this man's hands, what will become of our families, disciples, and Brother Zhang's family?"

His words were sincere and reasonable, simple and concise. Although Ye Jing was angry, he knew that what he said made perfect sense, so he remained silent.

At this moment, Feng Yanleng, who had been meditating to the side, stood up and said, "Let's enter the secret realm first. The secret realm has a specific opening time, and we can't afford to be late."

Then, Feng Yanleng looked at Yu Tunzhou, her face slightly pale, but much better than last time. She smiled slightly, revealing two shallow dimples. "Young Hero Yu, we meet again."

Today, the girl was dressed in a fiery Hongyi outfit, with a sword and a knife at her side. She looked capable and dashing, and she was also wearing a bamboo hat. Yu Tunzhou found her very familiar.

Having said that, she lightly removed her bamboo hat. Tilting her head, she looked at Yu Tunzhou with a strange gaze, biting her lip as if trying to suppress a laugh, "Young Hero Yu, are you preparing to become a monk? Why have you shaved your head?"

Yu Tunzhou appeared extremely casual, stating lightly, "My cultivation has made some progress, and during the transformation of my physique, some other issues arose."

At times like these, the more you care, the more likely you are to attract other people's wicked humor!

As he spoke, his gaze kept lingering on the bamboo hat on Feng Yanleng Leng's head, and he couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get that bamboo hat from, Heroine Feng?"

Feng Yanleng's gaze was still fixed on the bald head under Yu Tunzhou's straw hat. He smiled and said, "It was a gift from Hero Mo."

It really is that Old Mo one!

The people around couldn't help but look over when they heard the sound.

They had seen the straw hat long ago, but they never imagined that this small straw hat had such a great background!

Seeing that it was getting late, Feng Yanleng said, "The Law Seals to open the secret realm is on me."

"This Law Seals was passed down to me by Senior Jiang Ying before her death, and it can only be activated once. If none of us receive the inheritance this time, we will never be able to enter again, unless another destined person appears in the world."

"In a little while, it will be midnight, the time of Yin. I will then unleash Law Seals to open the portal. The portal will not be open for long, so everyone must rush inside as soon as possible."

Everyone listened attentively with solemn expressions.

Yu Tunzhou suddenly asked, "Has Heroine Jiang become a disciple of this Xuandu lineage?"

This time it was Yuyang who answered. He nodded and said, "Jiang Ying was fortunate enough to become Registered Disciple, while Zhu Baichuan and I did not have this honor. We only obtained a method each."

"Once we enter the portal, we must quickly traverse the cave abode ahead and venture deeper into it. There lies a Hall of Inheritance, and along the way, we may encounter various unusual phenomena—"

At this point, Yuyang's eyes clearly showed a dazed and confused look, but he quickly regained his composure and whispered, "Everyone must Shouxin. There were actually two other people of the same age who entered with us back then, but they both got lost in the strange phenomena, unable to extricate themselves, and eventually disappeared!"

According to Jiang Ying, those two have completely returned to the world and merged with the Dao.

Yu Tunzhou thought to himself, "Is this what death looks like?"

"The opening of the portal will cause quite a commotion, so everyone remember to protect me," Feng Yanleng suddenly said.

The crowd's expressions turned serious; it seemed that a battle with Yan Wen was inevitable.

Everyone began their final breathing exercises.

Yu Tunzhou, then starts figuring out how to deal with a real External Scenery.

With the blessing of the Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person, he is confident that his current methods are sufficient to contend with, or even contend with, Half-Step External Scenery.

But when it comes to actual External Scenery, the difference in skill level is simply too vast.

At this moment, Feng Yanleng's voice rang in his ears, a secret telepathic transmission. "Yan Wen received a sword strike from my Primordial Spirit. This sword ignores realms. With his cultivation level, it won't be fatal, but his Primordial Spirit will definitely be seriously injured. You can try to start from this aspect."

Yu Tunzhou was startled. A sword strike from the Primordial Spirit that disregarded realm?

Is this the trump card behind the rampant use of Feng Yanleng and cunning?

Soon, midnight will arrive.

Deep within Falling Star Gorge, the air grew increasingly cold and desolate.

Even those who were skilled in Martial Dao and had blazing Qi and Blood could feel the chill immediately.

Feng Yanleng stood up, turned her back to everyone, formed a hand seal, and drew out a Law Seals from the Niwan Palace between her eyebrows. The surrounding air trembled slightly, and endless coldness gathered towards her.

There seems to be some ancient power awakening in the world.

Soon, the dark surroundings suddenly lit up, and when everyone looked up, they saw that the starlight from the sky had been drawn to this place!

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines; such attention would inevitably attract Yan Wen and the others!

Yu Tunzhou calmed his mind and used his full Primordial Spirit power to perceive his surroundings. He quickly saw a black figure standing quietly above the rift valley, on the edge of the cliff.

The man was tall and thin, his black robe blending almost seamlessly into the night, with only the slender knife at his waist occasionally flashing a cold light in the moonlight.

He looked in the direction of the Yu Tunzhou.

The next moment, Yu Tunzhou let out a muffled groan. Although he had discovered the other party, his Primordial Spirit was also impacted.

"They're here!" Yu Tunzhou whispered.

As soon as he finished speaking, a jet-black blade of light slashed down from above, silent yet carrying a world-destroying power.

The blade's intent arrived before its flash.

That chilling, sharp, and all-encompassing sword intent surged forth like a tidal wave, causing everyone present to gasp for breath.

Yu Tunzhou felt a chill on his neck, as if an invisible knife was pressed against his throat, ready to cut him at any moment.

This strike had already drawn upon the power of heaven and earth. The surrounding mist and water droplets condensed and instantly transformed into a deep, dark aquatic color, making them feel as if they were in a "vast ocean." Their bodies swayed unsteadily, unable to maintain their balance, let alone withstand this strike!

This is the knife for External Scenery!

Master Yile let out a loud shout, a Buddhist School Lion's Roar, which, though it failed to deflect the descending blade, allowed everyone to escape.

This "vast ocean" is not only a physical entity, but also contains extraordinary phenomena induced by the Primordial Spirit!

With his twin swords drawn, a dazzling golden light streaked across the eyes. Ye Jing roared and slashed at the descending blade with all his might.

Qin He's palm strikes were heavy, like a force pressing down on the sky and earth; they were clearly External Scenery techniques, intended to work with Ye Jing to break Yan Wen's move.

Unexpectedly, two more figures joined the battle the next moment, facing off against Qin He and Ye Jing respectively.

"Hua Nongying?!"

"Sun Xiongman!"

As the identities of the two were revealed, everyone's hearts sank.

One Yan Wen was already enough to give them a hard time, and with the addition of Hua Nongying and Sun Xiongman, two Half-Step External Scenery, this battle was simply unwinnable!

Soon, another group of bandits arrived from behind, most of them at the Form Refinement or above.

Everyone took a deep breath, having prepared for the worst.

Yan Wen, his black robes fluttering, calmly swept his gaze over the crowd as if looking at a flock of lambs to the slaughter. His gaze quickly landed on Feng Yanleng, but he did not rush to make another move.

A star gate is forming out of thin air.

"The Xuandu inheritance—" Yan Wen murmured, his tone unreadable, neither praising nor mocking, "The eldest brother searched for ten years, only to find the door right here."

Hua Nongying chuckled lightly, "Fourth Brother, we're in luck."

Yan Wen did not respond; his gaze shifted from Feng Yanleng to Yu Tunzhou.

"Even without any inheritance, taking you down is still a gain."

He suddenly spoke, his words carrying a profound meaning, "A legitimate daughter of the Anguo Ji Clan, the darling of the Old Wang. A successor of Lu Huaiqing. If we were to acquire you, I wonder if the Northern Dark Continent would be willing to offer a good price. The value of the two of you may not be less than that of this inheritance."

Hua Nongying's smile froze slightly. She hadn't expected Yan Wen to have this in mind.

Sun Xiongman frowned, determined to win the Yu Tunzhou, but then his expression softened as he looked at the star gate behind him.

If there is an ancient tradition, he can accept Yu Tunzhou by anyone!

An eerie stalemate remained between the group.

Yu Tunzhou and the others were determined to delay until the gates were wide open, but just as the gates were about to open, Yan Wen suddenly took a step forward.

Just one step.

But as he took that step, Yu Tunzhou felt the ground beneath his feet tremble, and an invisible pressure spread from Yan Wen, like a mountain pressing down on everyone, making it difficult to move!

This is the power of External Scenery!

"Fourth Brother's move was truly impressive, showcasing the Divine Ability of [Yellow Springs Mountain]!" Hua Nongying said with a charming smile.

Yellow Springs Mountain? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before.

Yu Tunzhou didn't have time to think. He glanced around and saw that everyone was struggling to hold on. In this state, even if the door opened, they probably wouldn't be able to escape!

At this time, in the Niwan Palace.

"As expected, it's a fragment of the ancient world. This aura is truly nostalgic—"

Huntian suddenly shouted, "The gate is open, and the aura behind it is undoubtedly ancient. What are we afraid of? Boy Yu, listen to me, circulate the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art and explode at him!"

Yu Tunzhou was initially taken aback, but then instantly understood!

The next moment.

The Eight-Nine Mysterious Art are in full operation.

Yu Tunzhou's aura suddenly changed.

"Hmm?" Yan Wen frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Sun Xiongman's pupils constricted sharply. The Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person, the mobilization of the primordial energy of heaven and earth?! How could this be possible in this kid!

His desire for the Yu Tunzhou was rekindled.

This boy truly possesses an astonishing Secret Method!

Hua Nongying's smile froze.

During that time in Gao Old Village, Donghe County, Yu Tunzhou exuded a subtle aura of Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person.

And now, that aura was more than ten times stronger than before!

Yan Wen suddenly smiled for the first time, his voice low and deep. "The more secrets you have, the more satisfied I am!"

"Take him down."

Sun Xiongman volunteered, stepping forward with a sinister grin. Even if Yu Tunzhou could achieve Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person and man and mobilize the primordial energy of heaven and earth, so what?

Above that is Yan Wen, the actual External Scenery, which is also being suppressed!

But Yu Tunzhou didn't even look at them. He looked up, wondering why they hadn't arrived yet.

It's urgent!

An invisible sense of oppression slowly descended from above.

That wasn't the awe-inspiring power of Yan Wen's External Scenery, but the oppressive force of heaven and earth—ancient, cold, and unquestionable.

It was as if an invisible eye had opened from the clouds, looking down upon everyone in the rift valley.

Yan Wen's expression finally changed.

He looked up in surprise and asked, "Is this the location of the inheritance? No—"

He suddenly looked at Yu Tunzhou: "Did you bring this here?!"

Yu Tunzhou sneered, "Nice to meet you. I'm always hospitable. If I have anything 'good,' I'll share it with you!"

He had pushed the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art within his body to its limit, causing a surge of primordial energy from heaven and earth to flow into his body, transforming into Inner Qi to temper his physical form.

"Boom!"

A thunderclap boomed.

"Heavenly lightning?!" Yan Wen finally realized what was looming above him, his face contorted in pain. "You can actually summon heavenly lightning?!"

Not only him, but also Sun Xiongman, Hua Nongying, and Yuyang and others felt the chilling, heavenly will locking them in!

Yan Wen suddenly drew his sword and slashed at Yu Tunzhou, wanting to kill this troublemaker first!

Given the legacy he possesses, he is most averse to masculine elements like heavenly lightning!

He had shown no mercy with this strike, but at the last moment he had to forcibly stop himself and instead sweep the blade upwards!

Because a bolt of purple lightning struck down in an instant!

In an instant, dozens of bolts of lightning struck, including the bandits behind Yan Wen and his group, leaving no one unscathed.

This is truly a case of innocent bystanders suffering the consequences!

The power of these heavenly lightning bolts varied, with the one striking Yan Wen being the thickest and most powerful.

For a time, no one had the energy to deal with others; everyone was too busy taking care of themselves!

Hua Nongying was at the biggest disadvantage. She was skilled in the art of the Primordial Spirit, but how could she dare to use her Primordial Spirit technique in the face of this heavenly lightning!

Even Sun Xiongman's arms were charred black by this moment. He roared as he barely managed to catch it, his whole body convulsing.

"Yu Tunzhou! I underestimated you!" Yan Wen's black hair flew wildly, his aura chilling and terrifying. "But do you think you can escape?"

"Escape?"

Yu Tunzhou removed his straw hat and chuckled, "I, Yu, will withstand any attack with my bare hands!"

The next moment, a golden bolt of lightning, as thick as a forked arm, descended from the clouds, carrying a world-destroying force, and struck straight at the top of Yu Tunzhou's head!

Although this bolt of lightning was far less powerful than Yan Wen's, it was still terrifying and far beyond Form Refinement could withstand.

But Yu Tunzhou neither retreated nor dodged, standing in the center of the lightning, his whole body enveloped in golden arcs of electricity, the gilded halo beneath his skin intertwined with the lightning, making him appear as if a god had descended to earth.

Lightning flickered faintly in his pupils.

To everyone's astonishment, the lightning thief was devoured and refined by the acupoints in his body, transforming into pure primordial energy that flowed into his acupoints.

Yu Tunzhou realized that after giving her a break last time, his tolerance for the lightning tribulation seemed to have improved!

Despite their best efforts, everyone managed to withstand one of her individual lightning bolts.

Yan Wen looked at Yu Tunzhou with a gaze full of murderous intent and hesitation.

But the next moment, Yu Tunzhou's loud laughter rang out. "Gentlemen, you don't think this is the end for her, do you? This is just the beginning!"

Feeling the overwhelming power of the heavens, even Yan Wen couldn't help but change color and retreat rapidly.

This second bolt of heavenly lightning could really kill him!

At this moment, Yuyang and the others behind him also wore bitter smiles. This second bolt of lightning—

They can't hold on any longer!

Young Hero Yu's attack, though powerful, truly showed no distinction between friend and foe!

Just then, they heard the sound of Yu Tunzhou, deep and urgent. "The gate is open, run!"

Only then did everyone realize with astonishment that the Star Gate had opened. Feng Yanleng Yu Tunzhou.

After he left, the heavenly thunder seemed to have lost its target, but its might did not diminish but instead increased, becoming even more overwhelming, as if it was furious that someone had managed to escape from its grasp.

Witnessing this scene, Yuyang and his companions immediately fled inside!
