The shadow moved like a lightning bolt, and its Xiantian Spirit was suffocating and oppressive. The others were unable to move as the shadow crossed ten meters in the blink of an eye.

“It’s you?! How can it be you?!” When the black shadow approached, Tian Lie cried out in shock and panic as he recognized the figure.

The Wan Clan’s elder was also stunned, his mouth hanging open.

“That’s right. It’s me!” Liu Wuxie said, drawing his blade. His blade left behind a cold arc in the air and appeared before the Wan Clan’s elder, who tried to block it but was too slow. This cold arc sliced across his neck, and his body shriveled until he was nothing but a piece of skin.

Tian Lie was so horrified by this scene that he screamed. The Wan Clan’s elder was in the seventh level of the Xiantian Realm, but he was killed with a blade, which was too unbelievable. When the other disciples in the Houtian Realm saw this scene, they could only watch as the Wan Clan’s elder died. There was nothing they could do about it.

“I-It’s Liu Wuxie!” they cried out, finally seeing his face in the dim light. He wore a harmless smile, and no one would have guessed that he had killed so many people in a single night.

“This is impossible! How can trash like him kill so many of us?!” members of both clans roared, unable to accept what they had seen.

“Trash?” Tian Lie laughed bitterly. No one could take that blade head-on unless they were in the Spirit Cleansing Realm. He continued, “If he’s trash, what are we then?”

A bitter smile rose on Tian Lie’s face. He had entered the Sunset Mountain Range full of confidence, and this outcome was like falling from heaven to hell. The one they had looked down on had become someone they couldn’t even look up to. It was too much to bear, and everyone was going insane.

Why did he hide himself so deeply?” they wondered, puzzled and perplexed. Liu Wuxie looked at them with disdain as he raised his blade and slowly approached, disappearing into the crowd like an afterimage.

“Shit! Everyone disperse and run! Send the news back to the clan!” Tian Lie yelled, ordering everyone to scatter and escape. He hoped that someone would make it back to Azure Billow City to warn the Tian and Wan Clans to prepare.

The remaining seven members of the two clans dispersed, running for their lives. Tian Lie charged forward, hoping to stop Liu Wuxie and buy everyone time to escape.

“No one can escape tonight!” Liu Wuxie split into three and headed in seven directions, swinging his blade as he went. His blade left behind afterimages, its aura forming a dragon that soared in all directions. One by one, the fleeing members fell, their bodies shriveling.

Tian Lie stopped in his tracks, his eyes bulging. Liu Wuxie had killed seven people with a single stroke of his blade, its aura forming a dragon. Such a feat could only be accomplished by someone who had cultivated for at least fifty years. Was Liu Wuxie even human?

“Your turn!” Liu Wuxie walked towards Tian Lie slowly, his murderous intent surging. If not for the Song Clan, the Xu Clan would have been raided and divided by the Wan and Tian Clans. Even his father-in-law would have fallen into their trap and been captured.

“In a few days!” Tian Lie’s vitality was fading, and he could barely speak due to blood loss. His wounds were no longer bleeding, meaning he had practically bled out all his blood.

Liu Wuxie drew his blade, and a head flew off. The essence from the corpse was absorbed by the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron, forming a droplet of the mysterious liquid that fused into his dantian.

Rumbling sounds came from his dantian when the mysterious liquid fused, signaling that he was about to make a breakthrough. After killing so many people tonight, he had accumulated enough of the mysterious liquid for his breakthrough.

Liu Wuxie first cleaned up the battlefield before disappearing to find a secluded place to make his breakthrough to the third level of the Xiantian Realm.

Liu Wuxie found a hidden cave and went in. He opened Zhou Hu’s interspatial pouch containing over fifty spirit stones and 100,000 gold coins. He took out ten spirit stones to set up a Spirit Convergence Array. The spiritual energy in the Sunset Mountain Range was dense, and the surrounding spiritual energy within a radius of ten thousand meters swiftly gathered, forming thick spiritual clouds outside the cave.

The spirit stones drew in the dense spiritual energy from these clouds and gathered it around Liu Wuxie. When he circulated the Desolate Devouring Art, he was like a gluttonous beast devouring the surrounding spiritual energy.

As his dantian expanded, the mountain ranges in his dantian began to grow with trees rising from the ground, containing wood essence. The mountains and rocks in the world within his dantian also contained metal essence, and oceans and lakes appeared. The world in his dantian was like a portrait, projecting the entire desolate world.

When the various elements intertwined, the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron produced ten-odd droplets of brown liquid fusing into his dantian, and a horrifying aura spread throughout the cave. Rumbling sounds came from the cave, like roaring thunder, causing it to shake with cracks spreading out in the surrounding walls.

As a powerful aura emanated from Liu Wuxie’s pores, it was like needles stabbing into the surrounding walls, widening the cracks.

As Liu Wuxie’s aura continued to rise, the ten spirit stones on the ground cracked, and the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron rapidly devoured the spiritual energy within them.

The spiritual energy within a radius of ten thousand meters was sucked dry, and many demonic beasts raised their heads in confusion, not knowing what had happened. Some martial cultivators also looked at the surroundings blankly, wondering who had emptied all the surrounding spiritual energy.

“What happened?! Why did the surrounding spiritual energy disappear?” Martial cultivators entered the Sunset Mountain Range to train as dawn broke.

“Probably some powerhouse is making a breakthrough.” That was the only possibility, and no one took it seriously as they continued their journey.

The ten spirit stones were emptied, and Liu Wuxie’s cultivation was stabilized in the initial phase of the third-level Xiantian Realm. When he opened his eyes, they released two beams that shot out, charging out of the cave and leaving two marks on two trees outside, like marks left by swords.

Each level in the cultivation could be divided into the initial, intermediate, late, and pinnacle phases. If someone else had absorbed as much spiritual energy as Liu Wuxie, they would’ve reached the fourth or fifth level of the Xiantian Realm.

Liu Wuxie’s dantian was massive, but he had only reached the initial phase. With each breakthrough in the future, he would need at least ten times more spiritual energy and resources than others. Just thinking about it was a headache, but his dantian was still expanding. The Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron was devouring spiritual energy every second, but the mysterious liquid's production had slowed. Azure Billow City was remote and lacked spiritual energy.

When Liu Wuxie stood up, his body began to crackle like rumbling thunder. He tested his current strength by throwing a punch forward, causing the space before him to explode with a sound like a cracking whip.
