"How is that possible?"

The 6th level Heavenly Core Realm cultivator was horrified, and an expression of disbelief surfaced on his face.

Even though he had only used seventy percent of his strength in that spear strike, it was absolutely not something a brat at the 7th level of Earthly Core Realm should have been able to handle.

"Hahaha, Li Yun, watch me next."

Just then, Man Cang suddenly burst into laughter. Three tattoos on his body lit up at the same time, emitting brilliant light.

"Bear Form. Elephant Form. Tiger Form. Immovable as a Mountain."

Boom!

The phantom images of a giant elephant, a large bear, and a fierce tiger rose behind him at the same time, intertwining and fusing together. They looked like a massive furnace radiating heavy and powerful strength.

His entire being seemed to transform into a towering mountain.

Unshakable.

Standing there, he gave people the feeling that he was rooted to heaven and earth, and nothing could shake his existence.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

He suddenly stepped forward fiercely, his footsteps cracking the ground.

Then, with mighty force, he slammed into the cultivator like a great mountain.

"This is bad."

The cultivator’s expression changed.

At this moment, he felt as if he was not facing a human at all, but an archaic ferocious beast.

Bang!

Under the incredibly fierce collision force, his body retreated repeatedly. He only managed to stabilize himself after stumbling back more than ten meters.

"Now is the time."

However, before he could even catch his breath, a cold light flashed in Li Yun’s eyes.

A green gourd appeared in his hand. He pulled off the lid, and nine hundred and ninety-nine flying swords immediately shot out.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In an instant, the incomparably sharp sword formation pierced through the cultivator’s body, killing him on the spot.

A 6th level Heavenly Core Realm cultivator was thus killed by Li Yun and Man Cang working together.

"Damn it."

Yet, there was no excitement on Man Cang’s face. Instead, a look of unwillingness surfaced.

In the end, Li Yun had managed to kill the cultivator first. This meant that in his competition with Li Yun, he had essentially lost.

"Let us hurry and leave this place."

Li Yun shook his head.

The exit of the secret realm had almost completely dematerialized, looking as if it could vanish at any moment. Now was not the time to waste effort.

His figure flashed, and he passed directly through the secret realm exit, returning to the Annihilation Battlefield.

In the next moment, Man Cang’s figure also appeared right behind him.

At the same time, the secret realm exit completely turned illusory.

If Li Yun and Man Cang had been even a single breath slower, they probably would never have been able to come out.

"That was close."

Seeing this scene, Man Cang felt a burst of lingering fear.

The speed at which the secret realm exit closed was faster than he had imagined. Especially at the very end, its collapse had accelerated rapidly.

"Oh, right."

He seemed to suddenly remember something and looked toward Li Yun. "Brother Li, for you to possess such strength at the 7th level of Earthly Core Realm, you must come from one of the top powers in the Central Continent, right?"

"A top power?"

Li Yun shook his head. "No. I am from the Heavenly Sword Sect in the Azure Void Region of the Eastern Martial Domain."

"Heavenly Sword Sect?"

Man Cang was stunned. "I have never heard of it. The name sounds somewhat similar to the Absolute Heaven Sword Sect, but those people from the Absolute Heaven Sword Sect..."

He let out a cold laugh.

Then, Man Cang proactively changed the topic. "Regardless, with your talent, Brother Li, joining a top power in the Central Continent should not be a problem. I look forward to seeing you again next time."

"Mhm."

Li Yun smiled and nodded.

He had a favorable impression of the straightforward Man Cang.

"In that case, let us part ways again."

Man Cang laughed heartily. "This journey allowed me to successfully derive three True Forms. It is time for me to return to the sect and receive the next part of the legacy. Brother Li, may we meet again."

As his voice fell, a talisman seal suddenly appeared in Man Cang’s hand. He crushed the talisman seal, and a mysterious light enveloped him. In the next moment, his figure vanished directly before Li Yun.

"A Teleportation Array Talisman?"

Li Yun’s heart stirred.

With this Teleportation Array Talisman, no matter how far the distance was, one could immediately return to their sect after activating it.

Normally, only first-rate powers or stronger forces could create these Teleportation Array Talismans. Due to their high cost, they would usually only be bestowed upon elite disciples.

However, although the Desolate True Sect was a second-rate power, it had once been a top existence among first-rate powers. Although it had declined now, its foundation remained. Therefore, it was not surprising that they possessed Teleportation Array Talismans.

"It seems Man Cang holds some status within the Desolate True Sect."

Li Yun shook his head and stopped thinking about the matter.

Man Cang’s appearance was only a minor interlude for him. Continuing his training and raising his strength to the Half-Step Heavenly Core Realm as soon as possible was the more important task.

As long as he reached the Half-Step Heavenly Core Realm, he would have a chance to break through to the Spirit Manifestation Realm.

"No!"

Just then, a shrill scream suddenly rang out from a distance. The voice was filled with terror and disbelief, as if the speaker had encountered something utterly horrifying.

"That voice... is that Peng Yan?"

Hearing this sound, Li Yun immediately frowned.

Although he was not familiar with Peng Yan and had only interacted with him for a short time, he could still tell that the owner of this voice was precisely Peng Yan, the only 6th level Heavenly Core Realm cultivator among the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples.

"Ironblood Sect! Why must you pursue us so relentlessly? Ah!"

The shrill voice suddenly rose sharply, filled with fear, despair, and utter misery. Hearing it made one’s hair stand on end. It was hard to imagine what kind of torment the owner of the voice had endured to make such a wretched sound.

In the next moment, the shrill voice suddenly fell silent.

There was only one explanation.

The owner of the voice was dead.

"Ironblood Sect."

Li Yun’s gaze immediately turned cold.

He had not expected the people of the Ironblood Sect to be so persistent.

Even after they had reached the central region of the Annihilation Battlefield, the people of the Ironblood Sect had still chased after them, intent on exterminating them completely.
