Chapter 793: This Bastard Is Too Terrifying

Two were slain!

He Pingsheng turned back and saw the other four had turned into streaks of light and fled.

No… they fled in four different directions!

Want to run?

Is it that easy?

He Pingsheng violently retracted his Great Heaven Manifestation technique, shrinking his body back to its original size, then shot after one of the fleeing streaks of light.

His speed instantly surged several times over.

Technique: Three Thousand Thundering Steps!

No, it should be said—Three Thousand Thundering Steps is not a technique, merely a spell.

Originally, it could unleash fivefold speed in an instant.

Of course, only for an instant!

It could not be sustained.

Thus, with the boost of Three Thousand Thundering Steps, He Pingsheng caught up to the fleeing figure within two breaths.

Then he casually swept his hand!

Another ice-blue ice arrow shot forth.

Not one—seven.

Technique: Frost Chain Arrow Art!

Though not a high-level technique, the seven flying arrows unleashed violent energy toward a Kongkong beast.

"No… Prince, save me!" cried the Kongkong beast prodigy as he flew, simultaneously erecting three layers of defense.

Too bad—it was useless!

Puff…

Puff puff…

A single arrow shattered all three layers of defense; the remaining six arrows slammed directly into the Kongkong beast's body, tearing him into countless fragments and a rain of blood!

Unfortunately, He Pingsheng had no time to apply the 【Soul Chain Talisman】 to this Kongkong beast.

Far away, atop a mountain peak, a streak of light flashed and vanished, fleeing toward the horizon.

That was the Kongkong Prince!

The Kongkong Prince had originally been watching the battle from this peak, but the Kongkong beast just slain had foolishly fled toward him, with He Pingsheng chasing behind.

Seeing He Pingsheng's ferocity, the Kongkong Prince feared he might be next, so he prematurely activated the 【Temporal-Spatial Golden Banner】 and escaped.

Thus, though the Kongkong Prince fled, he also lifted the spatial seal over this area.

He Pingsheng's lips curled into a cruel smile, then he immediately used 【Void Dash】 to pursue another fleeing streak of light.

Less than ten breaths later, the second Kongkong beast was slain.

Repeating this pursuit again and again.

All six demon race prodigies who had attacked He Pingsheng were killed.

Only one Kongkong beast barely escaped being marked with the Soul Chain Talisman; the other five were destroyed in both their true bodies and their clones.

And throughout, He Pingsheng never used any magic treasure.

Six jade tablets!

Six rings!

Though nearly all prodigies had emptied their rings before entering this Grand World, these six rings still held some items.

And their life-linked magic treasures.

Though the owners were dead, their life-linked magic treasures remained.

He Pingsheng took them without hesitation, sweeping his hand to collect them all.

"Crack crack crack…"

Then, without pause, he crushed every jade tablet into fragments and tossed them into the river below.

Including his own jade tablet.

Since others tampered with the jade tablets, I'll just discard mine.

Thrown away.

Why discard these six newly acquired jade tablets?

Because there's no need to keep them.

What use would they be?

I don't want points anyway!

After finishing this, He Pingsheng left the area immediately and hid elsewhere.

This time, he dove deep underground.

…

Shhh…

The Kongkong Prince, pale-faced, flew back to Feng Wanxi's location and landed.

Splash!

Everyone rushed over.

"How did it go?"

"Did you find him?"

"Where are the others?"

"Is He Pingsheng dead?"

"Kongkong Prince, what happened to you?" Everyone bombarded him with questions.

Feng Wanxi said: "Step back!"

At her words, everyone retreated one by one.

"Huff…" The pale Kongkong Prince exhaled deeply: "Dead… all dead… He Pingsheng's combat power far exceeds our expectations!"

"What?" Everyone was stunned.

Feng Wanxi's gaze flickered slightly: "He killed all six of you by himself?"

"Yes!" said the Kongkong Prince. "Though I fled after he killed the third, I swear—no one survived!"

"That bastard He Pingsheng has already cultivated the Great Heaven Manifestation technique!"

His words sparked a storm of uproar.

Everyone began arguing again.

Feng Wanxi's brow tightened further: "Great Heaven Manifestation? He achieved it at Void Refinement?"

"I underestimated him!"

"In my knowledge, among this generation of prodigies on the Flame Continent, only a handful have achieved Great Heaven Manifestation at Void Refinement!"

"I am one; the human monk Mingyue counts as half, since his Great Heaven Manifestation relies on a special Buddhist technique!"

"The rest are Bai Zhiting of the White Fox Clan, Zhu Xuanlun of the Golden Crow Clan, and Yuan Wuyou—just these few!"

"No one else, it seems."

"Yet this human, of all people, has cultivated Great Heaven Manifestation!"

Great Heaven Manifestation is not cultivated—it is spontaneously awakened upon breakthrough.

No learning can grant it; even if you try, you cannot learn it.

Simply put, it is a gift from Heaven.

Ordinary cultivators awaken it only after merging with the Dao, upon entering Body Integration; only a rare few prodigies achieve it at Void Refinement.

This news forced Feng Wanxi to reassess He Pingsheng's combat power.

Hummm…

She flicked her jade hand and noticed the red dot representing He Pingsheng's position had shifted again.

"Gentlemen, no time to waste!"

"It's time for step two!" Feng Wanxi drew a deep breath: "One prodigy must now merge with the Dao and enter Body Integration—then strike from above, two against one!"

"Two Body Integration cultivators hunting He Pingsheng—there will be no failure!"

"Who volunteers?"

Silence filled the scene.

No one stepped forward.

"Gentlemen!" Feng Wanxi turned her gaze to the Feng Clan: "To our Feng Clan, He Pingsheng is now a mortal enemy!"

"He lives, we die; we live, he dies!"

"You all know that once humans rise, their combat power far surpasses our Feng Clan!"

"Imagine—if He Pingsheng reaches Mahayana Emperor Realm, it will be the day our Heavenly Feng Clan is wiped out!"

"Now, He Pingsheng has lost his armor, his fangs, and his techniques are suppressed by the 【Temporal-Spatial Golden Banner】—he is at his weakest, most vulnerable moment!"

"We strike from above, outnumber him—yet you dare not?"

Feng Wanxi's expression grew grim: "Had I not been entrusted with the task of climbing the Heavenly Stele, I would be the first to move!"

"But I cannot go—I must represent the Feng Clan in climbing the Heavenly Stele!"

If I break through to Body Integration, I cannot participate in the final stage of the Heavenly Ladder.
