"Next one."

Ye Xuan said calmly.

These seemingly ordinary three words left everyone feeling shocked.

Countless strongmen trembled in fear.

For a time, no one dared to respond.

The many people who had given gifts earlier didn’t dare to speak up either.

Ye Xuan’s ruthless killing of Zhuo Rou was truly a fact that was hard to accept.

Although Zhuo Rou could only exert the strength of an Invincible Great Sage, that was hardly a reason to fall!

After all, Zhuo Rou was still a Great Saint!

What on earth was going on?

"This guy is peculiar..."

Old Demon Chu kept staring at Ye Xuan’s fist, hoping to discern something.

Just now, that time-space appeared to warp, the flow of time slowed down, allowing them to see clearly.

Even though Ye Xuan’s fist and Zhuo Rou’s True Destiny Device only touched for an instant, he clearly captured that there seemed to be a unnoticed black membrane on the surface of Ye Xuan’s fist.

Could it be a body membrane?

But can a body membrane be that abnormal?

Cultivators can transform into a Heavenly God Body upon reaching the Heavenly God Realm, with a body membrane appearing on their surface.

This type of body membrane can enhance one’s defense, especially when facing cultivators below the Heavenly God Realm, where it is practically synonymous with invincibility.

Cultivators below the Heavenly God Realm cannot even break through the body membrane of the Heavenly God Realm.

But this physique is not as difficult for cultivators who surpass the Heavenly God Realm.

Upon entering the Saint Realm, the mastered offensive techniques undergo a qualitative change, capable of destroying worlds at will, and even a Heavenly God Body can’t withstand it.

So, Old Demon Chu doesn’t believe it’s the body membrane of a Heavenly God Body.

Could it be a body membrane of a special physique?

Or perhaps Ye Xuan has already crafted an Immortal Body using an Immortal Treasure!?

This guess made Old Demon Chu’s face a bit unsightly; if this were true, then this battle is meaningless.

Of course, it’s not absolute.

After all, no matter how you look at it, only three days have passed since the closure of the Great Ruins.

It’s impossible for Ye Xuan to craft an Immortal Body in just three days.

Besides, even crafting an Immortal Body doesn’t mean much.

At most, it’s just the Awakening Stage.

In this stage, the Immortal Body doesn’t have significant power, and the impact on the battle situation is highly limited.

Thus, he leans toward Ye Xuan having a certain physique and possibly having already reached the Great Success Stage.

Otherwise, Ye Xuan couldn’t possibly kill Zhuo Rou, who could exert the strength of an Invincible Great Sage, at merely the Great Sage Realm!

But if this is true, he might not be able to defeat this kid even if he goes up.

This is troublesome.

Old Demon Chu looked around and found Xu Chunlei and True Person Fan Hai seemed relaxed, showing no intention to take action.

Upon seeing this, Old Demon Chu spoke, "So you all don’t plan to fight for the Immortal Treasure?"

Xu Chunlei smiled slightly and said, "Chu Daoist’s gift was second only to Zhuo Daoist’s, so naturally, Chu Daoist should go first. We won’t cut in line."

Upon hearing these words, Old Demon Chu felt contempt, but outwardly he remained calm as he said, "Daoist is jesting. The Purple Cloud Demon Sect and my Blood Demon Sky Sect are deeply connected. I don’t mind letting Daoist go first."

Xu Chunlei waved his hand and said, "This rule was set by Ye Gongzi; we can’t change it arbitrarily, as the Immortal Treasure is in Ye Gongzi’s hands."

True Person Fan Hai smiled slightly and said, "Daoist Xu is right."

"Daoist Xu speaks correctly."

Flowing Cloud Old Monk from Gushan Temple chimed in.

Seeing more and more people expressing their stance, Old Demon Chu’s face remained calm, but inside he was cursing.

This group of bastards fought so fiercely just now, and now they’re backing down.

After all, they all fear Ye Xuan’s strength.

After all, Ye Xuan killed Zhuo Rou—an outcome no one foresaw.

Now, Ye Xuan clearly hasn’t used many means; if anyone goes up now, unexpected things might happen.

Since that’s the case, why not let others go first, wearing Ye Xuan out before proceeding?

Anyway, Ye Xuan hasn’t mentioned needing a break.

"What, no one dares to go?"

Seeing no one stand forward, Ye Xuan slowly said, "Are you all famous old strongmen just bluffers?"

These remarks were undoubtedly meant to provoke them.

After that punch that blew up Zhuo Rou, Ye Xuan clearly felt his Origin Power had advanced.

It seems this Origin Power can’t only be cultivated in isolation; it still needs battles.

The stronger the Origin Power, the more advantageous for the Taoist Body.

That’s a point Ye Xuan values.

Initially, Ye Xuan calculated how to obtain the method for Origin Power from the Nine Netherworld Phoenix and studied it for a long time, finally devising a method for cultivating Origin Power.

Six Myriad Forms Bodies have mastered this power.

The cultivation of Myriad Forms Body similarly feeds back the cultivated power to the main body.

And the Taoist Body held by the main body has the same demand for Origin Power as ordinary cultivators have for Spirit Stones.

Though simply absorbing nature’s spiritual energy can also allow cultivation, compared to absorbing Spirit Stones, it’s still much slower.

That’s why loose cultivators in the world worry about cultivation resources.

Because Sect cultivators have Spirit Stones provided by their Sect, the cultivation speed is naturally faster.

Each Sect has its own Spirit Stone mine veins and doesn’t need to seek help from others.

And for Ye Xuan, the Myriad Forms Body is akin to miners digging Spirit Stones, and the Origin Power is the Spirit Stones mined.

As the Origin Power of the Myriad Forms Bodies continually improves, the amount of Spirit Stones Ye Xuan possesses grows, and the Taoist Body’s advancement accelerates.

Additionally, this enhancement differs from Ye Xuan absorbing Origin Power from exotic realm beings.

The absorbed power still contains impurities that need to be removed before it can be refined.

However, the Origin Power cultivated by Myriad Forms Body is incredibly pure and doesn’t need refining, naturally allowing progression.

So, as long as Ye Xuan keeps fighting, the speed of Origin Power enhancement will greatly increase. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Thus, the progress of the main body Taoist Body becomes more terrifying.

Ye Xuan set up this battle rule for this purpose.

This is a trial.

A trial solely belonging to Ye Xuan.

If outsiders knew of Ye Xuan’s thought, they would probably curse him as a madman.

Truly like a newborn calf that doesn’t fear the tiger.

Really not afraid of others being too ruthless and killing him?

Sorry.

Ye Xuan is truly unafraid.

Not to mention these guys lack the strength; even if they have it, so what?

Once these guys finished fighting and realized it was just an avatar of Ye Xuan, one wonders what expressions they’ll have.

Ye Xuan’s provocation seemed not to work, as those ancient strongmen present showed no intention of taking action.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan frowned and said, "If that’s the case, then scram; don’t think of the Immortal Treasure anymore."
