"Wow"

  In the center of Yueji City, a bright blood light burst forth, forming a pillar of light that connected heaven and earth.

  Even standing a hundred miles away, you can see the top of the light column, forming a blood-colored cloud.

  Such a scene can only be seen when the grand ceremony of worship is held on the winter solstice every year.

  "What are they doing at this hour? They're actually holding a ritual in the city of Yuexing, do they think they can summon the true god?"

  Ling Xian stroked his whiskers and smiled lightly, thinking that Zhang Ruochen and Han Xuan were too naive, already on the verge of death, yet still pinning their hopes on the elusive spirits.

  Ignorant and foolish

  Ling Xian Su spat out sound waves, and the voice entered the city: "You two juniors, even if you beg for divine intervention, it's useless. Today, not even gods can save you. All savage beasts, listen to my orders, attack with all your might."

  After a stick of incense, a loud noise was heard, and the defensive grand array of Yuexing City was breached first. Half a stick of incense later, the two defensive grand arrays were also breached.

  Barbarians, like a dark tide, poured endlessly into the city of Yue.

  Under the altar, Zhang Ruochen absorbed a large amount of sacrificial power and finally broke through the boundary, reaching the extreme position in the Earth Extreme Realm.

  Withdrawing his martial soul back into his body, Zhang Wuji's body emitted a sharp aura, and his entire skeletal system let out a series of cracking "ka-ka" sounds.

  Sitting cross-legged opposite Zhang Ruochen, Han Xuan's entire body emitted a soft white glow, elegant and beautiful, like a pure and flawless fairy.

  Every inch of her skin was crystal clear like jade, except for the spot between her eyebrows, where a black crescent-shaped mark was condensed.

  If you observe carefully, you will find that the crescent-shaped mark is completely different from her temperament, giving people a gloomy, dark and cold feeling, swallowing all the surrounding light sources.

  "What she cultivated was actually the Dark Cold Moon Qi Sea." Zhang Ruochen stared at Han Xuan, somewhat astonished.

  Generally speaking, a martial artist's Qi Sea will only be completely stabilized and form its unique shape when they have cultivated to the Tian Ji boundary.

  Ninety-nine percent of warriors' Qi Hai are in the most common "round Qi Hai" shape.

  Only those martial artists with extraordinary talents and special physiques can cultivate a unique dantian.

  Like Han Xiao, in the realm of the Grand Circle, he has already cultivated his Qi Hai into shape, and it is also a very rare "Dark Cold Moon Qi Hai". It can be said that he is already quite impressive.

  Qihai took shape, and Han Xiao's strength increased again.

  Han Yu's pupils shone with a dark light, and he looked at Zhang Ruochen with some gratitude, saying: "Zhang Ruochen, thank you. I feel that the two conflicting forces in my body are no longer as intense as they were before."

  Zhang Ruochen said, "After absorbing the power of the sacrificial ritual, your martial arts have indeed improved to a certain extent. If you add the medicinal properties of that sacred light pill, in the short term, you should not be in any great danger. If you can break through the Tianji boundary and reach an even higher realm, you will be able to change and repair other techniques. I suggest you cultivate the Taiji Dao's Zhongzong Fa Dian Taiji Xiantian Gong."

  "The way of Taiji, difficulty and ease complement each other, length and shortness form together, high and low lean on each other, yin and yang generate each other. Practicing Taiji Xian Tian Gong can dissolve the two opposing forces within your body, while also reasonably utilizing those two forces, making it the best practice method for you."

  Han Xuan asked in confusion: "Tai Chi Way"

  Zhang Ruo smiled slightly: "In the Kunlun Realm, there is a saying that all martial arts in the world come from three paths and nine streams. It means that all the martial arts in the world are derived from these three paths. As martial arts evolved and the territory of human beings expanded, countless first-rate powers, second-rate powers, and ninth-rate powers were gradually formed."

  "Taiji Dao is one of the three schools. Taiji Dao, apart from the General Altar, has a total of three major branches, namely Er Yi Zong, Si Xiang Zong and Ba Gua Zong."

  "These three major sects are all top-notch forces, with saints emerging one after another, inheriting from the ancient era and flourishing in the medieval era. Now, the disciples of Taiji Dao have spread all over the world."

  "What we're learning is the Yin Yang Two Forms Sword Array, which is the pinnacle sword array of the Two Forms Sect."

  "I'll teach you the Yin Rite Nine Swords, which should also be considered a kind of fate. If you want to learn Taiji Primordial Skill in the future, you can consider joining the Two Rites Sect. I think the senior masters of the Two Rites Sect will definitely accept you as their disciple because of the Yin Rite Nine Swords. Of course, if that day really comes, don't tell them that I taught you the Yin Rite Nine Swords."

  Han Xuan remembered every word Zhang Ruochen said very seriously, just like a quiet and obedient student listening to the teacher's lecture.

  It is undeniable that Zhang Ruochen's insight made Han Xuan feel convinced.

  And if it's really as Zhang Ruochen said, the Two Instruments Sect is a top-notch power, what a terrifying behemoth it would be.

  Even in the thirty-six states of Tianmo Ridge, where the Yuntai Sect was known as a king or overlord, it was only a fourth-rate power. In front of a first-rate power, it was like an ant's existence.

  Why did Zhang Ruochen understand the top sword formation of Ermei Sect?

  "Could it be that Zhang Ruochen is a disciple of some big shot from the Two Extremes Sect? It should be like this, otherwise, how could a prince from a lower-ranking kingdom possibly master the Yin Yang Two Extremes Sword Array?"

  Zhang Ruochen looked at Han Xuan's eyes and reminded: "The secret on me, I hope you don't tell others."

  "Don't worry, no one will ever know, not even my father. I won't reveal a single word. After all, you saved me and helped me suppress the two conflicting powers within me, allowing me to enter a higher realm of martial arts."

  Han Xuan smiled and said, "Moreover, after this cultivation, I feel that my strength has improved again. Although I haven't broken through to the Tianji realm, it should no longer be difficult to fight across four realms."

  "It's over"

  "It should be about right"

  Han Xuan was overjoyed in his heart and said, "Zhang Tian Gui is one of the Four Absolute Geniuses, known as the number one genius among the thirty-six states of Tianmo Ridge. I think my strength has already surpassed his."

  "Congratulations," Zhang Ruochen said.

  Han Xuan blinked her eyes, her snowy teeth lightly biting her lips, revealing a stunning smile: "I'm even more curious, what level of absolute genius have you reached?"

  "I haven't even been to the Nine Extremes Palace, how would I know when I've reached the level of a Three Extremes or Four Extremes genius? These titles of Three Extremes Genius and Four Extremes Genius are fundamentally meaningless, only young people who like to show off would be fond of them."

  In Zhang Ruochen's eyes, two sharp colors suddenly appeared, and he said: "It's bad, Yuejic City has been broken. The real battle is finally about to begin."

  He immediately stood up, and his true energy surged out wildly.

  Han Yu's body was filled with a strong desire to fight, and he drew out the White Jade Ancient Sword, revealing a heroic aura. "Our cultivation has all reached a breakthrough," he said. "To kill our way out shouldn't be difficult."

  War

  Zhang Ruochen raised the ancient sword of the abyss, swung it and slashed out a white sword energy over ten meters long, splitting the altar in two.

  A three-stage barbaric insect, Jinxiangjia, climbed onto the altar and was cut in two by a sword energy attack, falling off the altar.

  Boom

  Zhang Ruochen burst out of the altar, displaying the Wind Chasing Flying Dragon Shadow, transforming into nine residual shadows, rushing out dozens of meters away.

  "Hmph"

  "Hmph"

  When he stopped, nine corpses of fierce beasts appeared on the ground.

  Every step forward can kill a beast.

  Han Yu also rushed out from under the altar, with one sword slashing through the air to form a column of light-like sword energy, simultaneously piercing the bodies of the two ferocious beasts.

  Boom

  A fourth-order savage beast, the Azure Winged Blood Python, emerged from the void, its body covered in palm-sized scales, its body over a hundred meters long, swinging its snake tail as it charged towards Zhang Ruochen.

  Zhang Ruochen's toes tapped lightly on the ground, and he soared into the air, rising over twenty meters high to avoid the attack of the Cyan Wing Blood Python.

  The Azure Winged Blood Python's true energy flowed throughout its body as it stared intently at Zhang Ruochen, spitting out a mouthful of icy blue air.

  "Hehe"

  Within a hundred meters in diameter, all buildings and all beasts were frozen in ice.

  With a crack, Zhang Ruochen burst out of the ice and flew towards Qing Yibaxue's neck with his sword.

  The Azure Winged Blood Python's skull retracted, dodging the sword energy, and spat out a mouthful of cold air.

  This time, Zhang Ruochen did not dodge, stretched out his left arm, and directly threw a palm, throwing out a piece of Linghuo True Qi, which collided with that cold air.

  "Hehe"

  Two forces cancel each other out.

  When Qing Yi Xue's true energy was insufficient and stopped spitting out cold air, Zhang Ruochen seized the opportunity and slashed over with one sword.

  "Full Moon of Heavenly Heart"

  The war sword pierced through the neck of the Cyan Wing Blood Python and slashed horizontally, leaving a long sword shadow.

  "Boom"

  The corpse of Qingyi Xue Mang fell heavily to the ground.

  "After breaking through in cultivation, dealing with lower-tier 4th-stage savage beasts is indeed much easier."

  Zhang Ruochen charged into the beast horde again, continuing to fight and preparing to kill his way out of a bloody path to escape from Yueji City.

  "Ah"

  A black giant eagle with a dragon's head swooped down from the sky, like a dark cloud, its body tens of meters long, carrying a wild and savage aura, pressing down on Zhang Ruochen's head.

  Fourth-order ferocious bird, dragon eagle, can be called the overlord of the sky.

  Its pair of claws is extremely sharp, just like dragon claws.

  Zhang Ruochen's body flashed and dodged horizontally, avoiding the dragon wing's claws.

  "Slap"

  The dragon eagle's claws grasped the ground, and the stone slab was like tofu, instantly turning into powder. On the ground, a huge claw print appeared.

  Ling Xian's eyes were cold as he stared at the battlefield below, saying: "He actually dodged the Dragon Eagle's attack, this kid's strength seems to have increased a lot."

  The dragon eagle is the most powerful war beast he summoned, so he has enough confidence in the dragon eagle.

  Zhang Ruochen did not fight against Long Ying hard, but instead rushed towards Ling Xiansu.

  "The Beast Master is indeed formidable in controlling the ferocious beasts, but his own strength may not be that powerful. As long as he can kill Ling Xian Su, the current crisis will naturally be resolved."

  Zhang Ruochen's legs kicked out in unison, and he soared into the air, charging towards Ling Xiansu. His sword shot forward like a meteor.
