Xiao Tiance never dread that the Honored Contributor by his side protecting his safety would plunge a longsword into his heart.
Wang Teng’s eyes were calm as he said, "Sorry, Young Master Chu, I am under Xu Wendong’s orders!" With that, he twisted the sword hilt, shredding Xiao Tiance’s heart.
Splurt!
Xiao Tiance spat blood, fury blazing in his eyes. He struck out at Wang Teng: "I’ll kill you, you traitor."
Though severely injured, the wound was not fatal for him as a Third-Level Hermit Immortal.
Wang Teng’s face remained cold as the sword in his hand suddenly swung upward.
In an instant.
Xiao Tiance’s upper body, even half of his head, was split in two, blood staining the earth — a grizzly sight.
"Old Wang, you acted impulsively!" Xu Wendong sighed, "You should have spared Xiao Tiance, waited for him to find the treasure, then kill him. That way, we could have reaped the benefits."
Wang Teng quickly responded, "Forgive my oversight."
"Here, give this Immortal Sword to you." Xu Wendong handed the Immortal Sword to Wang Teng. Though extraordinary, it was of little concern to him.
Wang Teng rejoiced, "Thank you, master!"
Xu Wendong said, "Continue following the mbers of the Xiao Family. If they find the treasure, inform imdiately."
Wang Teng: "Yes!"
Even though he had just killed Xiao Tiance, he could easily find an excuse to cover it up.
He wasn’t worried that the mbers of the Xiao Family would beco suspicious.
Then Xu Wendong started up the moss-covered steps towards the Bronze Ancient Hall atop the mountain.
Yet.
As his right foot set upon the stone stair, an invisible weight as heavy as Mount Tai hit, making his steps incredibly heavy.
"There’s a Formation on these stairs?" Xu Wendong was quite surprised.
He then resigned himself.
If there weren’t a Formation on the stairs, reaching the Bronze Ancient Hall would be too easy.
Taking a deep breath.
Xu Wendong’s gaze fird as he continued climbing the stairs.
His speed wasn’t fast, but his movents were remarkably steady, gradually surpassing so powerhouses collapsed on the stairs.
"Damn, what the hell is this? We’re being overtaken by an ant of the Mahayana Realm?" A Third-Level Hermit Immortal was stunned, feeling profoundly shattered.
"Though his cultivation isn’t strong, his vital energy is incredibly robust. He can surpass us with so remarkable ans," others speculated.
On the stairs leading to the Bronze Ancient Hall were hundreds of cultivators. For them, each step required them to pause and rest.
But Xu Wendong was different, his speed slow, yet without any pauses.
How could this not be shocking?
So provided a different viewpoint: "Perhaps the higher the realm, the heavier the gravity."
"Contrarily, the lower the realm, the lighter the gravity."
Halfway up the mountain.
Xu Wendong halted, his face pale, beads of cold sweat visible on his forehead.
At that mont, he felt like he was in a swamp, his legs leaden, incapable of stepping further, let alone climbing higher.
However.
He had already surpassed many cultivators. Ahead of him, only dozens of powerhouses trudged onwards.
Without exception.
Those cultivators were all Human Race powerhouses above the Seventh-Level Scatter Immortal.
As for the strong Demon Race led by the Sea Dragon King, they were not even ten ters ahead.
Even though the Sea Dragon King was the supre ruler of the Chaotic Star Sea, he showed evident fatigue.
At the sa ti.
Xu Wendong sensed a stench from Sea Dragon King and other Demon Race powerhouses, though faint, his keen sense identified its source instantly.
"If I’m not wrong, these powerhouses have scarlet pustules!" Xu Wendong guessed silently.
At this mont.
The Sea Dragon King’s voice sounded: "Young friend, I have an elixir, take it." A golden elixir flew towards Xu Wendong.
Xu Wendong looked confused, not knowing why the Sea Dragon King offered him an elixir.
Even so, he held the elixir in his hand, eyes hinted with suspicion. Although skilled at refining elixirs, he couldn’t identify this one.
"King, why give this elixir to this human?"
"Indeed, the Five Elents Primordial Pill is a true Immortal Pill, you won’t consu it yourself, yet why give it to one of diocre cultivation?" the Sea Demon Tribe powerhouses murmured weakly.
Without exception.
Every gaze laden with questions stared at the Sea Dragon King.
Xu Wendong was astounded.
He hadn’t seen a Five Elents Primordial Pill.
But he knew it was an Immortal Pill, with the divine effect to bolster the physical body and enhance the realm.
No mortal could refine such an elixir.
He truly didn’t understand why the Sea Dragon King would give such a rare elixir to him.
Nevertheless.
He consud the elixir.
In an instant.
The Five Elents Primordial Pill’s effects exploded in his Dantian, transforming into a soothing sensation that surged through his entire body, swiftly washing away his fatigue.
Not only that, but he also clearly felt his cultivation level advance significantly.
His physical body grew ever more robust.
If his body before could rival a top-grade Spiritual Instrunt, now it could compare to an Immortal Artifact, this was the benefit of the Five Elents Primordial Pill.
With the increase in strength, Xu Wendong felt extraordinarily light, he stepped forward, reaching Sea Dragon King and gratefully said, "Thank you, senior, for bestowing this elixir. I wonder what I can do for you?"
He understood.
Sea Dragon King wouldn’t give him an Immortal Pill without reason.
After all, they had no previous encounter.
The Sea Dragon King likely had a request.
The Sea Dragon King spoke weakly, "I just hope young friend walks with this old man to the peak."
Xu Wendong couldn’t help but say, "That’s it?"
Sea Dragon King: "Yes, that’s it."
"Alright." Xu Wendong didn’t know why the Sea Dragon King invited him to journey together, but he readily agreed.
Walking with them might delay him slightly.
But at least he could repay the favor of the Five Elents Primordial Pill.
"May I know your na, young friend?" Sea Dragon King smiled with a touch of satisfaction.
Xu Wendong: "Junior Xu Wendong."
The Sea Dragon King nodded slightly, glanced at his tribe, and forced himself to stand, "Since Young Master Xu wishes to walk with us, don’t waste ti, continue climbing!"
The Sea Demon Tribe powerhouses showed downcast expressions. They wanted to climb but were already exhausted!
Nonetheless.
Not daring to defy the Sea Dragon King, they stood with difficulty, following Xu Wendong and Sea Dragon King upward.
This climb did not trouble them much.
Upon starting, they all made a startling discovery···
