SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

"You actually sensed us long ago!" coldly said Shadow Demon Thief, one of the four thieves.

He was the one who had been monitoring Jun Xiaoyao's movements in Shangqiu Ancient City.

"Your so-called concealment techniques, in this divine son's eyes, are nothing more than children playing hide-and-seek," Jun Xiaoyao shook his head with a smile.

Jun Xiaoyao's primordial spirit was incredibly powerful.

His spiritual perception naturally far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Back in Shangqiu Ancient City, Jun Xiaoyao had already sensed the presence of Shadow Demon Thief.

But in his eyes, Shadow Demon Thief was just a rat in the gutter, not worth mentioning.

Therefore, he had ignored him all along.

Now that the four thieves had directly made their move, Jun Xiaoyao had no choice but to deal with them decisively.

"You dare to attack the young master, you're seeking death!"

Medusa Queen, Green Snake General and others immediately took action.

"In this place, you can only exert Saint-level power at most," coldly stated Heart Crusher Thief, one of the four thieves.

He and another thief, Sky Witch Thief, blocked Medusa Queen and the others.

Shadow Demon Thief and Demon Owl Thief attacked Jun Xiaoyao together.

"Shadow Demon Descends!"

"Demon Owl Split!"

These two were decisive, knowing that Jun Xiaoyao wasn't easy to deal with, so they immediately unleashed their most powerful techniques.

Space was torn apart as a terrifying shadow demon, seemingly descending from another dimension, appeared in a semi-ethereal form, emanating chaotic and violent power.

Behind Demon Owl Thief, a pitch-black bird emerged, carrying a chaotic demonic intent.

"Hmm?" Jun Xiaoyao keenly noticed that the power source of these thieves seemed somewhat incompatible with the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

It seemed like... it wasn't energy from the same origin.

"Could it be..." Jun Xiaoyao thought of a possibility, his eyes revealing a trace of peculiarity.

He activated the Supreme Bone in his chest, and vast heavenly power surged forth. The sky trembled, and vaguely, an incomparably massive palm, like a five-fingered mountain, pressed down.

The giant palm was covered with ancient patterns, carrying a supreme power that could strangle all living beings.

It was the Hand of Heaven!

Boom!

With one strike, the Hand of Heaven directly shattered both the shadow demon and the black demon owl.

Shadow Demon Thief and Demon Owl Thief both retreated rapidly, spitting blood.

They exchanged glances and each brought out multiple divine weapons.

"Explode!"

Among these divine weapons, there were even Supreme-grade artifacts.

These were the spoils they had looted after robbing many talented youths.

Now they didn't hesitate at all and directly made them explode.

The self-destruction of Supreme-grade artifacts was incredibly powerful; even a Saint could be killed if caught off guard.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The entire temple was shaking.

If not for the special domain suppressing this place, the entire Tai'e Temple would have collapsed in the explosion.

"Is he dead?" Shadow Demon Thief asked with lingering fear.

Suddenly, from within the smoke, a sword finger pointed out.

Splat!

Blood splattered through the air as Shadow Demon Thief's forehead was pierced through, his primordial spirit completely shattered.

"Not good!" Demon Owl Thief's heart sank as he rapidly retreated.

Jun Xiaoyao's figure appeared, immaculate and unharmed, without even a wrinkle on his clothes.

With Jun Xiaoyao's monstrous physical body, even the self-destruction of Supreme-grade artifacts couldn't harm him in the slightest.

Jun Xiaoyao reached out, laws transforming into a giant palm, directly grabbing Demon Owl Thief.

But he didn't kill Demon Owl Thief immediately.

On the other side, Heart Crusher Thief and Sky Witch Thief were also subdued by Medusa Queen and Green Snake General.

"Master, how should we deal with these people?" Medusa Queen asked.

Jun Xiaoyao glanced coldly at the three subdued thieves and said, "You targeted this divine son from the beginning. What exactly are your intentions?"

Demon Owl Thief and the others snorted coldly, remaining silent.

Jun Xiaoyao didn't mind and smiled faintly, "Could it be because of my Ancient Saint Body and Supreme Bone? What exactly does your leader of the Thirteen Thieves, that mysterious Zhu Xian Thief, want to do by collecting various bloodlines and physiques? What's the purpose?"

Demon Owl Thief snorted coldly and said, "Today we've fallen into your hands, but you should know that we four are only the weakest among the Thirteen Thieves."

"The other nine are each stronger than us, not to mention the top-ranked thieves who are capable of dealing with you."

"If our boss Zhu Xian Thief makes a move, even you, the Jun family's divine son, would die with regrets!"

Jun Xiaoyao chuckled, "No problem. When the time comes, this divine son will send all Thirteen Thieves to the underworld together."

"But before that, I have another interesting matter... where exactly do you come from!?"

As the words fell, the faces of Demon Owl Thief and the other two changed almost imperceptibly.

"You... what do you mean?" Demon Owl Thief's eyes flashed with panic.

"Still playing dumb at this point? If I'm not mistaken, you should be from the Foreign Realm, right?"

"What? The Thirteen Thieves are actually from the Foreign Realm?"

Yan Rumeng, Moon Jade Rabbit and others all widened their beautiful eyes in surprise.

The Foreign Realm had always been in opposition to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

The several Foreign Realm invasions in history were wars capable of changing ancient history.

Each war was fought until heaven collapsed and earth shattered, the universe broken, and eras in turmoil.

And now, beings from the Foreign Realm had infiltrated the Ancient Path.

This was too unexpected.

After all, the Foreign Realm had been quiet for a long time, making people in the Immortal Realm somewhat complacent.

If this news spread, it would definitely cause a huge sensation.

"You..." The faces of Demon Owl Thief and the other two revealed some panic.

Previously, when they robbed or assassinated any talented youth, they always killed with one strike, never giving any chance to reveal their identities.

But now, they had been caught red-handed by Jun Xiaoyao.

"What exactly is your background, and what forces or organizations are behind you?" Jun Xiaoyao asked calmly.

"You can forget about it. We won't say anything!" Demon Owl Thief shouted fiercely.

Without another word, Jun Xiaoyao slapped out.

Splat!

Demon Owl Thief was turned into a bloody mist.

The faces of Sky Witch Thief and Heart Crusher Thief both turned deathly pale.

Jun Xiaoyao raised his hand again and killed Heart Crusher Thief.

—————

Blood and remains splattered onto Sky Witch Thief, nearly breaking his spirit.

Jun Xiaoyao's lips curled with coldness as he activated the Chaos Divine Grinder again, crushing down.

This kind of spiritual crushing and torture was not something an ordinary person could endure.

After enduring extreme torture, Sky Witch Thief finally revealed some secret information.

The Thirteen Thieves had infiltrated the Immortal Realm's Ancient Path, and one of their purposes was to spy on the strength of the younger generation in the Immortal Realm.

From this, it was evident that the Foreign Realm, quiet for many years, seemed to be stirring again.

This added a shadow of war to this era of great contention.

Additionally, another piece of information made Jun Xiaoyao raise his eyebrows slightly.

According to Sky Witch Thief, their boss, the leader of the Thirteen Thieves, Zhu Xian Thief, was destined by fate to kill him.

"So that's it. I understand now. It seems the first of the Seven Anti-Jun Emperors has appeared," Jun Xiaoyao smiled.
