[In the twenty-third year, you left Spine Mountain once again, heading directly to the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords.]

  [You wanted to use the Taotie Divine Body to see if you could devour Killing Intent.]

  [After some experimentation, you concluded that it was possible to devour it, but the effect was not good.]

  [In fact, it had a counterproductive effect. After devouring the Killing Intent, the sense of brutality was even more severe than being eroded by it.]

  [You thought that if you could deepen your understanding of Killing Intent and find a place with even more intense Killing Intent to comprehend and improve, using the Taotie Divine Body to devour it might be effective.]

  [But for now, this devouring power was of no use to you.]

  [You stood in front of the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords, looking up at the sky, lost in thought.]

  [It was still early in this simulation, and you were considering whether to enhance your Killing Intent.]

  [Soon, you reached a conclusion.]

  [You felt that your current cultivation was not strong enough, and enhancing Killing Intent could wait until after the Tribulation Crossing stage.]

  [For now, you should continue to improve your cultivation.]

  [After all, you still had a craving for dragon meat.]

  [If your cultivation improved significantly, you could team up with your father, Jiang Fushan, to slay a dragon when the people of Spine Mountain force their way into the Desert of Death.]

  [With that thought, you no longer hesitated.]

  [In the twenty-fourth year, you began to fully focus on improving your Martial Dao.]

  [In fact, when you devoured the Heavenly Thunder beneath Spine Mountain earlier, your Martial Dao had already reached the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm.]

  [However, this time, you did not go into seclusion for cultivation.]

  [Instead, you started your career as a bandit.]

  [With the Taotie Divine Body, using eating to improve was certainly faster than bitter cultivation in seclusion.]

  [As for your targets, naturally, it was the unfortunate Immortal Arrival Sect.]

  [The Immortal Arrival Sect had been established for nearly a million years, and the resources of the entire Southern Regions were in their hands.]

  [Various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as demonic beast flesh and blood, were quite abundant.]

  [And all of this became your target.]

  [In the twenty-fifth year, after extensive investigation, you found a small branch of the Immortal Arrival Sect.]

  [There was an elder at the third level of Tribulation Crossing stationed there, and without hesitation, you launched a surprise attack.]

  [With one move of the Silent Destruction Fist, you blasted the elder to death.]

  [You ransacked the small branch, obtaining a large amount of resources.]

  [Afterwards, you hid and devoured all the resources that could enhance your Martial Dao through the Taotie Divine Body.]

  [In the twenty-sixth year, your Martial Dao cultivation successfully broke through to the fifth level of the Transcendent Realm.]

  [Improving one small realm in a year was something you had never dared to imagine before.]

  [So, you decided to go big and strong, and struck again.]

  [In the twenty-seventh year, you robbed another small branch of the Immortal Arrival Sect.]

  [In the twenty-eighth year, your Martial Dao cultivation broke through to the sixth level of the Transcendent Realm.]

  [In the twenty-ninth year, you prepared to rob the Immortal Arrival Sect again.]

  [But after some investigation, you found that the small branches of the Immortal Arrival Sect had all increased their manpower.]

  [Each branch now had several elders at the Tribulation Crossing stage guarding them.]

  [This significantly reduced your chances of success.]

  [After all, although your current combat power could rival a seventh-layer Tribulation Crossing expert, your speed was not faster than that of a Tribulation Crossing expert.]

  [If someone managed to escape with the treasure while you were attacking, all your efforts would be in vain.]

  [Of course, you could also set up a formation to prevent them from escaping.]

  [But you thought that if you used a formation this time, they might come up with countermeasures next time.]

  [After all, you knew the true foundation of the Immortal Arrival Sect.]

  [After some thought, you decided to go for a big score.]

  [So, you set your sights on the capital of the Great Abyssal Kingdom.]

  [You knew that was the largest branch of the Immortal Arrival Sect.]

  [It was personally guarded by Shen Wuyou, the puppet sect master.]

  [You thought there must be a lot of treasures there!]

  [With a smirk, you decided to go for it.]

  [After all, Shen Wuyou was only at the fifth level of Tribulation Crossing, and couldn't even beat Old Li.]

  [You believed you could handle him without any problems.]

  [However, you did not act recklessly.]

  [You sneaked into the capital of the Great Abyssal Kingdom.]

  [After finding the branch of the Immortal Arrival Sect, you patiently set up formations around it.]

  [In the thirtieth year, you looked at the last formation talisman in your hand, a smile forming on your lips.]

  [As long as you inserted this formation talisman into the formation, a super trap formation would be completed.]

  [At this moment, you could almost see the scene of obtaining a large number of treasures.]

  [In fact, you were only an eighth-grade Formation Master, and if you set up an ordinary eighth-grade trap formation, it could only trap those at the Great Ascension stage.]

  [But since you were setting up the formation, you naturally considered this issue.]

  [So, you set up not a single eighth-grade formation, but a composite trap formation composed of multiple eighth-grade formations.]

  [Such a formation took more time and effort, which is why it took you a year to complete.]

  [In fact, it was because the Immortal Arrival Sect was too arrogant. They focused their attention on other branches, and the defense of this largest branch was not as tight.]

  [Otherwise, even if they had patrolled more frequently, you wouldn't have been able to complete such a complex formation.]

  [Now, this composite trap formation composed of multiple eighth-grade formations, although still unable to trap Tribulation Crossing experts for long, you believed it could hold them for a day or two.]

  [With your current strength, as long as they couldn't escape, two days would be enough for you to ransack this branch.]

  [Without hesitation, you inserted the formation talisman into the formation, and the formation instantly took shape.]

  [Immediately, outside the capital of the Great Abyssal Kingdom, light radiated in all directions, and a light shield enveloped it.]

  [Seeing this, countless figures flew out from the capital of the Great Abyssal Kingdom.]

  [Some were wearing official robes, some were holding spatulas, and some were dressed in rags, looking like beggars.]

  [You were not surprised by this, knowing that the people of the Immortal Arrival Sect had always hidden among mortals.]

  [And this so-called branch of the Immortal Arrival Sect actually included not only people from the Immortal Arrival Sect but also many clueless mortals.]

  [Usually, the people of the Immortal Arrival Sect would not easily reveal their identities.]

  [But now, they couldn't care less.]

  [After all, they were all cultivators, and the moment the formation took shape, they knew an enemy had arrived.]

  [As for the mortals who saw them reveal their true selves, they could just kill them later.]

  [And you, thinking it was just a simulation, didn't care about the lives of these mortals.]

  [So, without hesitation, you stepped into the formation you had set up.]

  [As soon as you entered the formation, you shouted: "Little brats of the Immortal Arrival Sect, you are surrounded by me!"]

  [As soon as you spoke, you felt great.]

  [You had been waiting for this moment to show off for a long time, and finally, you got your chance.]

  [At this moment, the Immortal Slaves of the Immortal Arrival Sect stared at you with vigilant expressions.]

  [A great battle was about to break out, and the Immortal Slaves couldn't hold back and attacked first!]

  [However, the strongest among them was only at the first level of Tribulation Crossing, and you easily slaughtered them like a tiger among sheep.]

  [You began a massacre, and soon, your white clothes were stained with blood.]

  [You raised your blade and had just killed an Immortal Slave when you suddenly felt a warning in your heart!]
