Chapter 55

Jun Xiaoyao looked at Ji Xuan as if he was a piece of meat on a cutting board.

Ji Xuan also glanced at Jun Xiaoyao in his sight with a serious look in his eyes.

Jun Xiaoyao’s entire body was shrouded by a godlike brilliance, making him seem unreal.

That hazy feeling, however, somewhat scared Ji Xuan.

Subsequently, he turned to look at Jun Zhangjian on the sidelines. The corner of his mouth curled into a playful smile.

Ji Xuan was unsure of what would happen if he were to fight Jun Xiaoyao.

Ji Xuan was still pretty confident in himself if he was facing Jun Zhangjian, Jun Xuefeng, or any of the others.

“I want nothing more than to rub Ji Xuan’s face into the ground!”

Seeing the faint hint of playfulness at the corner of Ji Xuan’s mouth, Jun Zhangjian’s face was enveloped behind shady clouds.

This guy wasn’t bold enough to provoke Jun Xiaoyao, so he turned to provoke him himself.

“Be patient. We can talk about it after we arrive at the Supreme Treasure of Yuantian,” Jun Xiaoyao said with an apathetic gaze.

If Ji Xuan was obedient, perhaps Jun Xiaoyao could get his chance to act without having to do anything to Ji Xuan.

If Ji Xuan insisted on standing in his way, however, then Jun Xiaoyao could only use violence to teach him how he should act.

Next, Jun Xiaoyao and others ventured deep into the Great Wild Forest.

Those at the forefront were naturally the top geniuses of Immortal Orthodoxies like them.

Right behind them were the geniuses of supreme mystic orthodoxies and mainstream powerhouses.

The first disciple of the Daoji Heavenly Sect was also on the move, but he stayed close to Jun Xiaoyao and his party from behind.

Previously, an elder of the Daoji Heavenly Sect warned that if he didn’t want anything to happen to him, his safest bet was to stay with the Jun Family’s Divine Child.

A ghost-faced bear corrupted by the grey fog then raised its head and unleashed a loud roar.

When standing upright, it was three feet tall like a tiny black hill. It was very threatening.

It extended its claws, instantly slicing a few powerful disciples in the Celestial Bridge Stage from some major forces into pieces of meat.

Suddenly, a magnificent palm print comprised of Golden Energy came from the front.

With a loud bang, the powerful ghost-faced bear also turned into a pile of dead meat.

Jun Xiaoyao casually retracted his hand and said, “Let’s keep going.”

Jun Zhangjian and the others weren’t too surprised. After all, they already knew how powerful Jun Xiaoyao was.

On the other hand, the first disciple of the Daoji Heavenly Sect following from behind gulped to himself with a shocked expression.

“As expected from the Divine Child of the Jun family; he killed the ghost-faced bear with a single strike of his palm. That kind of feat would usually be too difficult for ordinary cultivators in the Celestial Bridge Stage to deal with,” The first disciple sighed.

Of course, Jun Xiaoyao wasn’t the only one who was straightforward and neat in his attacks.

Ji Xuan was the same way.

Like Jun Xiaoyao, he fought casually. The branding of Sacred Runes on his right arm was glittering in Divine Light.

With a push of his palm and a flick of his finger, rays of light burst out and instantly tore the fierce demon beast standing before him with ease.

“The junior saint of the Ji family also seems invincible. He can wipe out powerful beasts while someone else would have to begin defending themselves.”

“I’m not surprised. Ji Xuan’s right arm is merged with a segment of King of the Saints’ Hand Bone. Even without the imbuement of Abhijnas, a casual strike with his palm could still generate incredible force.”

Many geniuses of top forces were sighing to themselves.

Geniuses born into Immortal Orthodoxies would be treated completely differently. They could even merge themselves with the Hand Bone of the King of the Saints.

Aside from the geniuses from Immortal Orthodoxies, there were also some amazing dark horses.

Some cultivators also noticed a figure wearing a cloak and a hood. “Hey, who’s the guy in the cloak? How is he so amazingly powerful?”

Without revealing his face, that person casually threw his fist. With that, he had unleashed a Blue Dragon Light Pattern and crushed the ferocious beast in front of him with ease.

This surprised many people. Nobody expected such a dark horse to appear.

“Tsk tsk, the sucker has appeared. Looks like he is growing rather well. Well, it’s not like I’m disappointed at all…”

That was when Jun Xiaoyao sensed something and noticed the cloaked figure at the corner of his eye.

Jun Xiaoyao immediately recognized him as Xiao Chen, but he didn’t do anything about him.

He knew that Xiao Chen wanted to hide his identity so he wouldn’t be identified. Like an animal pretending to be a pig to prey on the tiger, he would seize the opportunity within the supreme treasure. He would finally become more powerful and beat him.

However, it was easier said than done.

Xiao Chen thought he was on level 2 while Jun Xiaoyao was on level 1, but he didn’t know that Jun Xiaoyao was already on level 5.

Everything was under Jun Xiaoyao’s control.

“Xiao Chen, I will give you one last chance to live out your strange fantasies. When the time comes for me to harvest you, don’t blame me for showing no mercy.”

The corner of Jun Xiaoyao’s lips raised into a slight curve.

Under the hood, Xiao Chen’s expression remained resolute with a hint of excitement.

His chance to rise above Jun Xiaoyao was getting closer.

“Jun Xiaoyao, when I merge with the ancient dragon skeletons and cultivate the Guide to Dragon Transformation in Blue Sky’ to its limits, I will trample you under my feet while everyone watches!”

The war continued.

Bloody warfare broke out between the cultivators who infiltrated the Great Wild Forest and the demonic beasts within.

Aside from a few people like Jun Xiaoyao that could charge all the way in, many geniuses of various major forces and some casual cultivators were killed.

“We are not on the same level as the descendants of those Immortal Orthodoxies, ” a casual cultivator said bitterly. He looked at the transcendent figures that had gone deep into the forest and sighed.

Jun Xiaoyao was like a White-clad Divine King who seemed invincible. No monster could withstand more than two or three of his attacks.

Eventually, Jun Xiaoyao and his party were the first to arrive at the deepest part of the Great Wild Forest.

Looking around, they found was a massive black fissure within the depths of the forest. It looked as if someone had injured the earth.

A strange grey mist was emitted from within.

Jun Zhangjian and the others all used their magical powers to protect their bodies and shield themselves from the grey fog.

However, this method required them to consume vast amounts of power.

Amidst the grey mist, they also faintly felt a sense of suppression.

Things were different for Jun Xiaoyao. He wasn’t using his magical powers to shield his body at all.

That was because his Sacred Body of the Ancients was as powerful as the sun and immune to all evil. Even his blood was golden in color.

The quality of the blood and qi of sacred bodies made them extremely resistant to all kinds of evil and dark energies.

“I think the Supreme Treasure of Yuantian is right beneath this fissure, but it seems to have undergone some strange changes,” Jun Xiaoyao mumbled to himself.

Just as he finished speaking, a loud roar sounded once again.

A terrifying black ape with a pitch-black body, a horn on its head, and fleshy wings on its back leaped into the air. With one stomp, a tall cliff collapsed beneath its feet.

The cultivators who arrived couldn’t help but exclaim, “It’s the Ancient Remnant, Demon Ape!”

Ancient Remnants were of a bloodline from ancient times. They were way stronger than ordinary demon beasts.

This Demon Ape was already in the Unifying Stage with an immensely malicious aura around it.

Ancient Remnants were also more powerful than humans in the same cultivation stage.

Even a genius in the Unifying Stage from an Immortal Orthodoxy would have some trouble dealing with this Demon Ape.

Most importantly, Jun Xiaoyao was only in the Celestial Bridge Stage.

Roar!

The Demon Ape unleashed a raging bellow.

After being corrupted by the grey mist, its eyes turned scarlet. Its already violent temper caused him to enter a frenzy as it charged towards Jun Xiaoyao, destroying several hills in its wake.

Everyone was watching the scene unfold.

Within the void beyond the Great Wild Forest, the Azure Mirror reflected the scene outside the Supreme Treasure.

“Your Divine Child seems to be in a bit of trouble,” the Elder of the Ji Family, Ji Bangyin, said with a faint smile.
