Within the span of a dozen breaths, whether it was the Water Beasts beneath the river or the Xuantian Mu Feng sweeping around, all were shattered before the powerful Heaven and Earth Furnace Great Wilderness Sword Qi. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Countless strands of golden Sword Qi circled Zhang Xiaohao’s body, making him appear like a Sword Immortal.

With his hands clasped behind his back, he walked calmly on the turbulent river.

The Water Beasts under the river, seeing Zhang Xiaohao like this, seemed to be intimidated; though they didn’t provoke him for the moment, they followed at his feet. Wherever Xiaohao went, the Water Beasts followed, and as time passed, the number of Water Beasts behind him increased, at least tenfold.

The ferocious river stretches on for miles, yet its only notable feature is the abundance of Water Beasts. This is still the outer region of the ferocious river; the closer to the core, the stronger the Water Beasts become.

Aside from the Water Beasts under the river, there is also the Xuantian Mu Feng on the river’s surface. The dense Xuantian Mu Feng twirls like popcorn, swirling and merging around, seemingly brewing even more powerful winds.

No matter how the river below changes or how wildly the Xuantian Mu Feng rages around him, Zhang Xiaohao seems unperturbed and continues to walk forward.

Flipping his right hand, he takes out a bottle of a rare edition Maotai and takes a swig.

The perilous scenery surrounding him appears merely as a landscape to Zhang Xiaohao, evoking an air of indifference and tranquility akin to "He is strong, let him be strong, a gentle breeze brushes the hill; he is overbearing, let him be overbearing, the bright moon shines over the big river."

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

Suddenly, the surrounding river waters surge and roar once more, raising a towering wave hundreds of feet high. The overwhelming water waves press down towards Zhang Xiaohao, as if intending to completely suppress him.

"Have you lost patience? Are you ready to make a move now? I thought you would keep enduring." Zhang Xiaohao said playfully, a smirk at the corner of his mouth.

As the overwhelming waves come crashing down, the moist, dense yin energy emanates from them, pouncing towards Zhang Xiaohao.

Simultaneously, hundreds of Xuantian Mu Feng around him merge into a single larger, more powerful wind, with a diameter of thousands of feet, churning up terrifying waves, one after another, continuously charging towards Zhang Xiaohao.

The Water Beasts beneath the river are also unwilling to stay idle, each leaping from below with gaping mouths aiming at Xiaohao’s head, seeming to plan on swallowing him whole.

In a moment, centered on Zhang Xiaohao, all sorts of violent attacks fiercely targeted him, intending to destroy him.

Seeing these attacks drawing closer, Zhang Xiaohao’s cold voice sounded.

"Heaven and Earth Furnace Great Wilderness Sword Qi!"

As Zhang Xiaohao’s words fell, innumerable golden Sword Qi shot out from within him, densely packed, numbering at least a hundred thousand, if not more. These golden Sword Qi pierced downwards onto the water surface, while also striking towards the surrounding Xuantian Mu Feng, unleashing formidable power from within them.

The Water Beast army, the first to charge out from beneath the river, failed to withstand even a single breath before being slain by the densely packed Heaven and Earth Furnace Great Wilderness Sword Qi. Huge amounts of blood spilled onto the water, turning the river surface red.

Sword Qi crisscrossed, inserting into the river, slashing at the Water Beasts below. Wherever the Heaven and Earth Furnace Great Wilderness Sword Qi passed, these Water Beasts were slain.

At this moment, the surrounding waves hundreds of feet high, along with the fiercely powerful Xuantian Mu Feng, rolled back over. Destructive forces emanated from the Xuantian Mu Feng and the hundreds-foot waves, seemingly intending to annihilate Zhang Xiaohao in one strike.

"Slash!!" Zhang Xiaohao snorted coldly.

As his words fell, the Heaven and Earth Furnace Great Wilderness Sword Qi, densely packed, bombarded the Xuantian Mu Feng and the hundreds-foot-high waves.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

The tyrannical Heaven and Earth Furnace Great Wilderness Sword Qi brutally slashed apart the Xuantian Muqi and the towering waves.

A dozen breaths later.

The surrounding river surface once again returned to calm; the doomsday-like scene from before had vanished.

Zhang Xiaohao shook his head, continuing to walk forward with an unruffled demeanor.

As Zhang Xiaohao ventured deeper, the oppressive force in the surrounding air grew stronger, as if something massive was watching and waiting on the sidelines.

Apart from the invisible pressure, there was also a strong fragrance in the air.

"Hmm? Is this the fragrance of a ten-thousand-year Spirit Fruit?" Zhang Xiaohao sniffed hard, his eyes lighting up.

Immediately, he activated the Reincarnation Heavenly Eye and scanned the surroundings. Under the gaze of the Reincarnation Heavenly Eye, everything around became visible to Zhang Xiaohao.

Three thousand meters ahead, a whirlwind of Xuantian Mu Feng, spanning over ten thousand feet, spun wildly, exuding terrifying pressure that swept around spreading an intimidating destructive force. Moreover, a captivating fragrance wafted from within the massive vortex.

"It’s actually a Green Divine Fruit over ten thousand years old. It’s said that this Green Spirit Fruit has miraculous healing effects. Even if someone is hanging by a thread, consuming this Green Divine Fruit can fully heal their injuries within a short period! Besides, it can also heal injuries in the Nascent Soul." Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes lit up as the knowledge about Green Divine Fruit surfaced in his mind.

"Hehe! Having come across this, there’s no way I’m leaving without securing this Green Divine Fruit!" Zhang Xiaohao said earnestly.

Swish!

With a single step on the ground, leaving a shadow behind, he quickly surged forward.

A moment later, Zhang Xiaohao was already standing outside the ten-thousand-foot whirlwind of Xuantian Mu Feng.

This Xuantian Mu Feng differed from the previous ones, exuding power at least a hundred times greater. It’s not just Zhang Xiaohao with his Nascent Soul realm cultivation who’d find it perilous; even a cultivator of the Refining Void Realm would face death trying to traverse it. Only those at the Unification Realm or Great Mahayana Realm might have a sliver of chance to cross this terrifying Xuantian Mu Feng to obtain the Green Divine Fruit!

However, what might deter others poses no deterrence to Zhang Xiaohao.

"Heavenly Battle Armor!" Zhang Xiaohao roared, a black armor appearing on his body, enveloping him completely.
