Wang Xu looked serious.

Merely cultivating cannot forge a true powerhouse; to become stronger, one must experience the sheer terror between life and death, which will be reflected in the missions distributed by the Palace of Truth.

"This is your mission." Ling Wu threw a Star Token to Wang Xu, who glanced at it lightly.

"Purple Moisture Restricted Area?" Wang Xu continued reading, and moments later, his expression became extremely solemn.

According to the Star Token's records, the Purple Moisture Restricted Area is an isolated island under the cover of the Ganges Truth Tree, located in a perilous polar region, accessible only to those in the Emperor Spirit Realm.

The Purple Moisture Restricted Area was once a battlefield of ancient wars, buried with countless treasures. Many from the Emperor Spirit Realm go there hoping to obtain one or two treasures and benefit greatly. However, treasures are not so easily acquired.

In such treacherous lands, terrifying beings often emerge. The Purple Moisture Restricted Area houses countless fierce Ancient Fierce Beasts, each strong enough to rival the Emperor Spirit Realm!

They guard the treasures under unknown orders, and obtaining these treasures requires defeating them. Over the years, countless Emperor Spirit Realm cultivators have died on this land, making it known as a forbidden zone to the world.

"This is a Teleportation Talisman. If you're in trouble, you can crush it and move instantly millions of miles away." Ling Wu Shixiong threw three Teleportation Talismans to Wang Xu.

How precious is a Teleportation Talisman that can instantly transport you millions of miles away?

This indicates the extent of danger Wang Xu faces on this journey, enough to potentially cost him his life in the Purple Moisture Restricted Area.

"Tai Xu accepts the mission." With the task given, even if it's a restricted area, Wang Xu must do his utmost.

To the Palace of Truth, no matter how talented one is, they are ultimately not considered a true prodigy if they have not yet grown. If they abandon the mission due to fear of danger, the Palace of Truth will not tolerate such students staying in the palace and will expel them immediately!

"Within three hundred years, you can directly reach the Purple Moisture Restricted Area through the teleportation array in the palace. Remember, don't delay the task for too long, or if the Blade Seat Master mentions a word or two in front of Gua Ao Venerable, even if you belong to my Blade Seat, you will be expelled to the Fourteenth Mansion." Ling Wu Shixiong, having been around Wang Xu for a while, had some rapport with him and reminded him deliberately.

"Thank you, Seventh Shixiong, for the reminder. I will definitely head to the Purple Moisture Restricted Area within three hundred years!" Wang Xu nodded.

"Alright, let's end this sparring for now. I'll test your strength again after you return alive from the Purple Moisture Restricted Area." Ling Wu Shixiong nodded in approval and turned into a stream of light, departing.

"Purple Moisture Restricted Area…"

Wang Xu clenched the Star Token in his hand, with battle intent burning in his eyes, "All seven of my Shixiongs went through this and survived; why can't I survive too?"

The seven Shixiongs were secondary; Wang Xu's primary goal was to gain the Blade Seat Master's recognition!

Back in the Reception Hall, during the Blade Seat Master's trial, strictly speaking, Wang Xu failed; it was "Appearance" that helped Wang Xu survive and pass the test.

Such behavior was seen by the Blade Seat Master as opportunistic and not truly reflective of Wang Xu's own abilities, unworthy of recognition.

Only by gaining the Blade Seat Master's recognition would Wang Xu's position as the eighth seat of the Blade Seat be considered truly secure. Otherwise, sooner or later, the Blade Seat Master would challenge him and expel him from the Blade Seat.

"I don't want the entire Eternal Palace to see me as a laughing stock!" Wang Xu silently vowed in his heart.

...

The Purple Moisture Restricted Area is an isolated island in the Void Rain Sea.

But because it was once a battlefield of ancient wars where countless powerhouses fell, leaving behind an invaluable fortune, it drove countless later-comers mad with frenzy, seeking to obtain these treasures.

However, fearsome Ancient Fierce Beasts have long occupied this land. All who enter must exert every effort, risking their lives to fortunately bring back one or two treasures. Nearly ninety percent of powerhouses have perished here, making this isolated island known as the notorious Purple Moisture Restricted Area.

Swish!

In a desolate land, five stones engraved with profound runes suddenly emitted light, revealing a circular green array on the ground, its brilliance dazzling and radiant.

Soon, a figure clad in a black robe emerged from the light. As he left, the array gradually dimmed, eventually vanishing completely, leaving only the ancient five stones.

"Is this the Purple Moisture Restricted Area?" The figure stepping out of the teleportation array was none other than Wang Xu.

Barren and rocky, with a vast, endless primitive jungle in the distance. Standing on the purple soil, Wang Xu did not feel any discernible difference between this so-called restricted area and the outside world.

Of course, Wang Xu would not let his guard down because of that.

With a light tap to the tip of his toes, Wang Xu's form darted out like a swift shadow. Although he was still only at the peak of the Ancient Spirit Realm, his speed had already reached a level that even the late-stage Emperor Spirit Realm found hard to match.

"The location indicated on the Star Token is a few months away from here. I must proceed cautiously." Wang Xu glanced at the Star Token, estimating that with his speed, reaching the location marked on the Star Token would take months of swift travel, where he would inevitably encounter ferocious Ancient Fierce Beasts. To be safe, Wang Xu quickly suppressed his presence and slowed his speed to avoid detection.

This mission requires Wang Xu to retrieve a broken weapon from within the Purple Moisture Restricted Area. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

It's said that this weapon was used by a super powerhouse known as the "Venerable of Ten Thousand Fires" during the ancient wars. The Venerable of Ten Thousand Fires wielded this weapon with great might on the ancient battlefield, causing countless strong foes to fall to his hand.

Yet, even someone as powerful as he could not escape his fate. When the Venerable of Ten Thousand Fires fell, this peerless weapon was left to gather dust in the Purple Moisture Restricted Area.

Wang Xu's mission is to find this unparalleled weapon and bring it back to the Palace of Truth.

Moo!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wang Xu carefully sneaked for three days. As he was traversing through the dense forest, a faint sound suddenly reached his ears. When he approached slightly closer, he immediately realized that a fight had broken out not far ahead!

"It's the 'Purple Thunder Terror Bull'!"

After moving swiftly for a while, Wang Xu concealed himself under a rock, condensed his presence to the maximum, and focused his gaze intensely on the enormous Ancient Fierce Beast.

It was a creature resembling a Kui Ox, standing on two feet, with two deep purple horns on its head. According to the "Ancient Fierce Beast Chronicles," this beast is called the Purple Thunder Terror Bull. Once it reaches maturity, it possesses the power of the Emperor Spirit Realm. If it devours the core of other beasts, it can grow to the peak of the Emperor Spirit Realm, making it an extremely terrifying Ancient Fierce Beast!

"Its realm... is at least comparable to the late-stage Emperor Spirit Realm!" Wang Xu roughly judged.

An Ancient Fierce Beast of the late-stage Emperor Spirit Realm could definitely contend with a peak Emperor Spirit Realm cultivator. At least with Wang Xu's current strength, he dared not provoke it rashly.

Boom!

Suddenly, the sky turned a shade redder. Wang Xu looked up to see a figure leaping up and soaring above the fiery clouds.

He raised his right hand and pointed to the sky, where a flame emerged.

The flame grew with the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it had formed into a vast sea of blazing fire!

"This!!" Witnessing this scene, Wang Xu's pupils contracted suddenly!

Pointing a finger at the Purple Thunder Terror Bull, the sea of fire descended with a roar, engulfing it within.

Moo!

The Purple Thunder Terror Bull initially didn't take the flames seriously, but when it truly realized the terror of the fire, it let out a painful wail.

Rumble...

The Purple Thunder Terror Bull's body collapsed to the ground, and the flames continuously devoured its body, growing even more vigorous. Despite its desperate efforts to expel the fire, it could only suffer in agony, unable to rid itself of the flames.

The figure in the sky clenched his hand, grasping a lance formed of flames. With the flaming lance in hand, he dove down, thrusting it out as colossal flames erupted from the lance's tip, piercing through the Purple Thunder Terror Bull's chest!

Tear!

The figure moved extremely fast, and after breaking open the Purple Thunder Terror Bull's body, a large hand reached into the bloody wound to grab a purple core the size of a fist.

Once the core was extracted, the Purple Thunder Terror Bull lost its life force. It let out one final unwilling wail before its colossal Kui Ox body crashed to the ground, completely losing its life.

However, the flames entangling the Purple Thunder Terror Bull did not cease but continued to burn and devour, consuming its entire body before returning to the figure in the sky.

"Chaos Devouring Fire!!" Seeing this scene, Wang Xu was convinced that the figure above possessed the Chaos Devouring Fire!

"Who!"

As the Chaos Devouring Fire returned, the figure's sensing power suddenly intensified, and his sharp eyes gazed directly at Wang Xu.

"It's me." Wang Xu didn't shy away, emerging from behind the rock and leaping onto the top of a century-old primitive tree, staring directly at the figure.

Dressed in a black-and-red robe adorned with patterns of flying fish, the figure appeared handsome and elegant, with a red dot between his brows, and his thin lips adding a hint of seductive charm.

"An Eternal Palace disciple?" The figure noticed the emblem representing the Eternal Palace on Wang Xu's chest. In the Purple Moisture Restricted Area, there were no rules. Once they encountered each other, they would unhesitatingly engage in a fight to seize the other's treasures.

However, disciples of the Palace of Truth enjoyed special treatment. Even if Wang Xu encountered a stronger being, the latter would refrain from provoking Wang Xu due to his identity as a Palace of Truth disciple.

Killing a Palace of Truth disciple, if done unnoticeably, could be fine. But if the Palace of Truth got wind of it, no matter how powerful, a person couldn't escape retribution.

"Are you from the Supreme Palace?" Wang Xu also noticed the emblem on the figure's chest, representing one of the Three Great Palaces of Truth, the Palace of Supreme Truth.

"Judging by your strength, you must have just entered the Eternal Palace recently... I'm in a good mood today, so I'll spare you this time. Take care, little one," the figure saw Wang Xu was merely at the peak of the Ancient Spirit Realm, too weak, so he smiled faintly and turned to leave.

"Wait!"

Wang Xu called out to him.

"Little one, if you intend to make a move on me, you'll regret it." The figure turned his head slightly and smiled.

"I just want to ask you one question... Do you know about the Devourer?" Wang Xu's gaze fixed firmly on the figure.

At the mention of the Devourer, as expected, the figure immediately froze, and even the smile on his face turned rigid.
