Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

But destiny has its own course; unavoidable and inescapable, it's better to provoke the tribulation actively rather than letting the Tribulation Qi intensify.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

Boom—

The air was pierced by several shrill shrieks, sound waves exploding in layers as several cultivators, controlling their Magic Artifacts, arrived and stopped right above the heads of Chu Zheng and another.

"Mr. He!"

Upon discerning the situation below, the group hesitated to act rashly, instinctively increasing the distance between themselves and Chu Zheng.

Chu Zheng's Divine Sense swept over them, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes—the strongest among them was merely at the early stage of Fourth Order, too weak.

His gaze settled on one of them, enshrouded in Blood Fiend, and according to the information from the Spiritual Eye, this person also originated from the Three Prisons Sect. The others had varied origins, likely having some connections with He De.

After a brief contemplation, Chu Zheng remotely unleashed a Sword Aura, which flew through a thousand miles of void and instantaneously beheaded the person from the Three Prisons Sect, sending a surge of blood into the sky.

The remaining individuals scattered like frightened birds at once.

"Have you also come to save him?"

Chu Zheng looked up into the sky at the few cultivators left in the distance, asking indifferently. His Returning to Void Realm aura was unmistakable and entirely unmasked.

"Not at all, we were just passing by!"

"I have merely crossed paths with He De; Elder, please don't misunderstand!"

One by one, they spoke, retreating even further without any hesitation, clearly dissociating themselves from He De.

"If that's not the case, then leave. Those who remain here after three breaths will die."

He spoke nonchalantly and then closed his eyes again, refraining from further actions as he waited for He De's brother.

The remaining figures disappeared quickly, leaving no trace behind.

While the blood still floating in the air had yet to cool, ups and downs resurfaced above the void.

Several dark figures squeezed out of a spatial channel, a pungent scent of blood assaulting the senses.

Chu Zheng glanced upward, slightly intrigued—a Fifth Order Mythical Beast had arrived, already transformed into a demon, with a green face and ferocious fangs resembling a massive ape, with a broad back and body covered in pitch-black mane, and strong, muscular limbs.

Beside the beast stood several cultivators in black robes, all from the Three Prisons Sect, with the leading figure appearing to be nearly sixty years old and at Fifth Order Cultivation, holding a significant position within the Three Prisons Sect.

"Elder Gu, save me!"

Seeing the elder, He De's expression turned to one of excitement, as if seeing a lifeline, and he repeatedly cried out for help.

Elder Gu, sensing Chu Zheng's powerful aura, became solemn and did not dare to act rashly. After contemplating for a few moments, he slowly said:

"Fellow Daoist, if my disciple has offended in any way, please speak frankly. If there has been any offense, we are willing to apologize on their behalf and offer compensation."

While he spoke, he already had a plan in mind—if this man demanded too much, they would have to abandon He De...

Before he could further ponder the situation, Chu Zheng, who was seated on the ground, suddenly opened his mouth to inhale sharply, concentrating his Vitality, Qi, and Spirit into a single line within a moment. From his Primordial Spirit, a fierce Qi surged, filling his lungs and heart.

The next instant, he opened his mouth and violently exhaled a tri-colored mystical light that surged from his throat. Upon contact with the air, the mystical light instantly transformed into Spirit Flame, igniting the void and directly targeting the group of cultivators from the Three Prisons Sect.

Elder Gu's complexion drastically changed, and he repeatedly emitted sharp cries, activating some Command Spell.

The pitch-black Ape Demon suddenly became frenzied, grew in size, and its mane stood erect, emitting a dark metallic glow that shielded the Three Prisons Sect cultivators behind it.

Concurrently, Elder Gu attempted to open a spatial channel to escape, but his expression changed in an instant.

The surrounding void had been completely severed; the space was thoroughly sealed, leaving no way to traverse through space.

Roar—

The Ape Demon managed only to resist for a moment before letting out an agonizing howl, its body enwrapped by the Three-colored Spiritual Flames and turned instantly into smoke.

Soul and body were incinerated thoroughly, leaving no trace behind.

After devouring the Ape Demon, the Three-colored Spiritual Flames blazed even fiercer.

"Fellow Daoist, please show mercy!"

Elder Gu cried out repeatedly, but received no response.

The Three-colored Spiritual Flames spread across the sky, casting a glaze-like light, and in an instant, incinerated all the cultivators present.

After a few moments, the space was filled with floating vestment robes and Storage Magic Treasures, which Chu Zheng collected with a wave of his hand.

Simultaneously, he reached out and called back the Samadhi True Fire from the air, swallowing it into his stomach, bringing back a pure stream of Qi.

The Samadhi True Fire, a strange flame forged from the fusion of Vitality, Qi, and Spirit, incinerates the Primordial Spirit and body without harming inanimate objects.

If a Magic Artifact contained a True Spirit, the True Spirit would also be refined, reverted to a mere mortal weapon.

This was a Great Divine Power, effortlessly wielded only after achieving Perfect Refinement and stepping into the Returning to Void Realm.

Watching this spectacle, He De was momentarily stunned, his heart feeling as if it had turned to ashes.

Chu Zheng did not consider his thoughts and continued to wait for his prey.

Sunset arrived in the blink of an eye.

After Elder Gu, only one group of people came, just glanced from afar, then directly avoided, not even speaking to Chu Zheng.

More than a hundred messages were sent, and altogether three groups of people came, totaling merely more than ten individuals.

The extent of He De's usual popularity was evident.

"Where is your brother?"

As night fell, Chu Zheng grew impatient. This area was only so big; no matter how much one hurried, they should have arrived.

The Tribulation Qi seemed to be both present and absent, which truly made him uncomfortable.

"My brother and I have severed our ties long ago and no longer contact each other. He will not come."

Knowing that there was little chance of survival today, He De snorted softly, no longer pleading, his expression indifferent:

"If you want to kill, then kill."

Before his words fell, a figure stealthily approached under the moonlight.

"Why did you come here?"

Seeing the face of the visitor, He De's eyes showed a trace of panic, bloodshot: "Go back!"

Chu Zheng glanced over, and it was a youth about thirteen or fourteen years old, bearing a slight resemblance to He De.

However, the path this youth walked was completely different from He De's. The aura of mana in him was very clean, harmoniously aligning with the principles of the Five Elements, filled with the essence of Yin and Yang.

But his cultivation was weak, only Second Order.

Chu Zheng's eyes flickered, as if weighing options.

If this youth was spared, he would be nurturing a tiger that could become troublesome in the future, possibly achieving something significant.

But suddenly, he remembered what Nie Longhu had once told him, that at the appropriate time, one should leave some threads of karma, which might be useful in the future.

Chu Zheng glanced at He De not far away, covered his eyes with his hand, then knocked the youth unconscious and directly took him into the Small World.

When He De's eyes opened again, the youth's figure was gone. For a moment, his heart agonized intensely, he cursed harshly:

"You shall live a lonely and old life, all your relatives and friends will die before your eyes, even with the power to overturn the heavens, it would be of no use..."

Pfft!

Chu Zheng did not wait for He De to finish cursing, and casually pressed him to death.

The instant He De died, the Tribulation Qi beside Chu Zheng explosively reacted, intensely stirring, beginning to evolve into a killing tribulation.

Seeing this, Chu Zheng could not help but be surprised.

After a full circle, it seemed he returned to the starting point. Had he known it would be like this, he wouldn't have bothered.

The Battlefield of All Heavens.

The verdant Stars, quietly suspended in the Array, faintly diffusing a hint of blood.

Between the rugged, continuous volcanoes, at the edge of the boiling Magma Lake Sea.

Half-cooled lava suddenly bulged a large bubble, then burst fiercely, from which a figure emerged.

Wearing reddish-brown scaled armor, with long hair over the shoulders, covered in blood, at a glance, appearing somewhat pitiful.

Ignoring the burns on her body, Song Lingxue carefully wiped the Jade Book cradled in her arms, seeing it faintly glow, rows of words were moving on it, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Long ago, she passed by this place and engaged in a battle with a group of Otherkind living in the Magma Lake Sea.

During the skirmish, she was swallowed by an Otherkind. Although she barely survived, the Jade Book she carried was lost.

During this period, she stayed here, spending nearly a year, slicing open Otherkind after Otherkind, today she finally found the Jade Book back.

Fortunately, it was not damaged...

Song Lingxue felt somewhat relieved; fortunately, her cultivation was sufficient, otherwise, had she delayed further, more accidents might have occurred.

During this period, her cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, already reaching Perfect Core Formation, which was inseparably linked to the heritage she received before.

She obtained the entire heritage of the Xuan Tian Martial Barrier, including the complete "Xuan Tian Scripture", "Xuan Tian Seal" Nine Divine Abilities, and other numerous divine skills such as Slaughter Blood Descending Dragon Technique, Xuan Yue Slash, Seven Steps Aura, Xuanwu True Body, and Spirit Gathering Spell.

The Martial God who engraved the Xuan Tian Martial Barrier had extremely high talent in the Martial Path, reaching the realm of Perfect Martial God. Being trapped in this realm, it was likely more to do with the environmental conditions of the Cangyun Realm; otherwise, his achievements wouldn't have stopped here.

The Slaughter Blood Descending Dragon Technique alone provided immense aid to Song Lingxue, allowing her to consume Otherkind for nourishment.

On her, Slaughter Blood Descending Dragon Technique had exerted its true power. Over the years, she continuously absorbed the essence of flesh and blood, cultivating a terrifying body, her divine strength capable of capturing dragons, and protected by a Blood Fiend.
