Breakthrough Yuanying, kill all the enemies

Just a little bit!

Just that little bit more.

At this moment, the people outside were not the only ones anxious.

Royal Xuanji was the same.

Although he was in the middle of a Breakthrough, he was multitasking, keeping an eye on the situation outside.

Just now, two auras no weaker than his own had arrived.

He knew it was those two old geezers, Cang Li Jian and Hong Ranke.

The three of them had originally stood in a three-legged balance of power—oh, right, there was also Chun Nong Valley.

The three of them had fought until their eyes were red.

Now that they knew he was about to reach the Nascent Soul Stage, how could they sit by and watch him succeed?

"Cang Li Jian, if I don't die this time and manage to finish my Breakthrough, I'll definitely make you pay! You even used the Great River Sword; you clearly aren't giving me even the slightest chance!"

Boom, boom, boom!

Accompanying Royal Xuanji's burning anxiety.

He immediately accelerated his absorption of spiritual energy to condense the Nascent Soul into shape.

Immediately after, he activated all the Formations he had prepared.

Layers of Formations rose up; these were powerful defensive Formations that Royal Xuanji had set up by using high-grade Spiritual Artifacts as the eyes of the Formation.

Their defensive capability far exceeded the third grade.

This level of defense was even stronger than the Formations Shen Fan had set up in the Outer Sect and Inner Sect, which had been reinforced by the treasure gathering cosmos bowl.

Actually, that couldn't be said for sure.

Perhaps the Formation Shen Fan reinforced was just average to begin with.

Reinforcing it to that extent was already the maximum strength of that particular Formation.

However, these Formations of Royal Xuanji were inherently much stronger than the ones Shen Fan had used before.

Therefore, if this Formation were also reinforced by Shen Fan, it should be even stronger than it was now.

But even so.

When Cang Li Jian unleashed his life-bound sword, Royal Xuanji's Formations...

were shattered as if they were dry twigs.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!!

The Great River Sword, that giant sword formed from the rushing waters of thousands of rivers, paused briefly the moment it touched the Formation.

It was easy to see that this Formation of Royal Xuanji was truly strong!

But even so...

Boom!!

As the Great River Sword continued to apply pressure, the Formation ultimately shattered.

Immediately after...

Boom, boom, boom!!

Three consecutive violent strikes.

All three Formations were broken.

And the density of the Great River Sword had diminished significantly.

This meant that the power of the Great River Sword had been weakened by more than half.

But even so.

This magnitude of attack was fatal for Royal Xuanji, who was in the middle of a Breakthrough and unable to counterattack.

It was fatal.

At this moment.

Everyone could only watch all of this helplessly.

Even Shen Fan was powerless.

They... really tried their best!

Was it really going to end like this?

Was everything they had painstakingly managed about to go down the drain?

Just a little bit, just that one little bit!

If they failed, everyone in the Tianxuan Sect would face a devastating blow.

Thousands of Disciples would meet an untimely death.

Winner takes all, loser suffers; such is fate!

However, at this final critical moment.

A giant beast's roar resounded through the heavens and earth.

Immediately after, a giant turtle grew in size against the wind.

It stepped on Zhan Yue Peak and swallowed Royal Xuanji in one gulp.

Zhan Yue Peak collapsed under its crotch.

The moment the Great River Sword descended.

It hacked fiercely onto the giant turtle's incredibly hard shell.

A massive shockwave of spiritual energy swept in all directions.

The Great River Sword shattered inch by inch upon colliding with the shell.

Like a river from the Nine Heavens pouring backward.

The resulting torrent formed a waterfall that flowed down the turtle's back in all directions.

The mountain valley centered on Zhan Yue Peak was instantly flooded.

"Roar!!"

The giant beast roared, letting out an angry cry.

Just then, an ethereal, delicate shout rang out.

"Little Turtle, well done!"

In the distance, Qiao Linger stood in mid-air, clapping her hands and cheering.

"Linger!!"

Shen Fan ran over, excited.

He scooped her up in a princess carry and threw her into the air.

"That was amazing!"

"Haha..."

Qiao Linger's cheeks flushed slightly, and her laughter rang out like silver bells.

This turtle was none other than the spiritual pet raised by Qiao Linger.

Unexpectedly, at this most critical moment, it was Linger who saved everything.

The next moment.

A beam of light shot out from the mysterious turtle's mouth.

The mysterious turtle opened its mouth, and Royal Xuanji stepped out slowly.

Immediately after, spiritual energy radiated everywhere, forming a giant phantom of Royal Xuanji himself in mid-air, overlooking this land like a Heavenly God descending.

A Nascent Soul Stage expert!

Break!

Cang Li Jian stared at all this, dumbfounded.

His body went limp, and he fell directly to the ground.

Hong Ranke was entangled by two Corpse Kings.

He was the first to react, then broke free from the restraints and turned into a flash of fire to flee into the distance.

Royal Xuanji... had achieved a Breakthrough!

Next, he would start dealing with them.

If not running now, when?

But Cang Li Jian sat blankly in mid-air, as if he had lost all his strength.

Winner takes all, loser suffers; he knew that no matter how far he ran to the ends of the earth, he wouldn't be able to escape!

Even if he returned to the Lingjian Sect and resisted with the power of the entire Sect, it would be of no use.

"Lost!!"

Cang Li Jian revealed a bitter smile.

The next moment.

Royal Xuanji's giant phantom leaned down, staring fixedly at Cang Li Jian with a head as big as a mountain peak.

Immediately after, his giant mouth opened slightly, emitting a deep sound that made the heavens and earth tremble.

"Will you do the decent thing yourself, or shall I help you be decent?"

Cang Li Jian slowly stood up, brushed off his sleeves, and nodded: "No need! We've fought for hundreds of years; today you were lucky, I admit defeat!"

"Luck?"

Royal Xuanji snorted coldly, "Do you know how many years I prepared for this moment? Is this luck?"

Cang Li Jian nodded: "Before I die, I have a question I want to ask you. Did you reach that point and achieve your Breakthrough on your own, or did you use external force?"

"Hehe!"

Royal Xuanji sneered, "Without a Yuanying Pill, how could someone like us achieve a Breakthrough?"

"Yuanying Pill?"

Cang Li Jian's eyes widened, "You successfully refined a Yuanying Pill?"

Royal Xuanji shook his head: "Even if I told you, you wouldn't know; just end it yourself!"

The Medicinal Pill was created by Shen Fan; how could Cang Li Jian know about Shen Fan?

After speaking, Cang Li Jian slowly raised his right hand, hesitated for a moment, and then slammed it fiercely onto the top of his own head.

Immediately after, he fell down.

A generation of Golden Core Stage Perfection experts had fallen.

After finishing all this.

Royal Xuanji said in a deep voice: "Tianxuan Sect Disciples, listen to my order: immediately prepare and set out to follow me in annihilating the Lingjian Sect and the Ice Fire Sect!"

That's how one should be!

That's how it should be; how can a grudge be left overnight!

Although there were only a few thousand Disciples.

It was still the entire Tianxuan Sect moving out in full force.

The current Tianxuan Sect was not worried at all that someone would sneak attack their base.

Within the Great Li Kingdom, who would dare?

Even if you succeeded, when the Nascent Soul returned to kill, you would have to obediently step aside.

Wherever the Nascent Soul arrived, it was invincible.

The Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect, which was already fighting the Lingjian Sect, saw Royal Xuanji break through to the Nascent Soul and lead his army to attack.

They immediately remembered Shen Fan's instructions and took their people to flee directly.

It was extremely smooth, without a moment's hesitation.

Immediately after, the Lingjian Sect faced an unprecedented massacre.

The Lingjian Sect fell right there and then.

Next was the Ice Fire Sect.
