Protagonist:

Jiang Xuan

"My attack is powerful, I want to test my attack!" Boy's gaze blazed, heroic spirit brimming, brows arching, fists clenched tight.

"Xiao Po Hai, you go ahead and try; just don't end up slinking away in disgrace when the time comes."

In the crowd, a sharp thin voice carried undisguised mockery, drawing a burst of laughter from those around.

Boy turned a deaf ear; in an instant, the aura around him abruptly shifted.

Divine power within his body surged wildly.

In the blink of an eye, an ancient, weighty Eight Trigrams Furnace phantom manifested, rotating above his head.

On this Eight Trigrams Furnace body, runes flashed and jumped, as if

"What divine ability is this kid about to unleash?"

Everyone cast astonished gazes, staring at Boy, eyes full of gravity.

The Eight Trigrams Furnace phantom spun rapidly, emitting mysterious yellow light, reflecting the surrounding space into a dreamlike illusion, as if stepping into a mysterious other world.

"This power... is no ordinary thing!"

In the crowd, an elder's expression turned grave, eyes narrowing slightly, muttering softly to himself.

The Eight Trigrams Furnace spun rapidly, powerful divine power fluctuations spreading outward; everyone truly felt an invisible heavy pressure.

Boy's chest heaved violently, he suddenly erupted with an earth-shaking shout, both hands thrusting forward with all his might.

In that instant, the Eight Trigrams Furnace phantom shot toward the large green stone like a meteor.

Where the Eight Trigrams Furnace passed, the air seemed torn by a sharp blade, emitting a piercing whistle that made scalps tingle.

"Boom!"

A deafening huge sound suddenly rang out, the Eight Trigrams Furnace heavily colliding with the large green stone.

For a moment, light overflowed in all directions, stabbing eyes so they could not open.

Powerful force stirred up a violent qi wave, an invisible hurricane, shaking everyone around into stumbling retreat, unable to stand firm.

Everyone only felt a vast white blaze of light flashing before them, simply unable to see clearly what had actually happened.

When the light gradually dissipated, everyone fixed their eyes and looked, instantly stunned dumb as wooden chickens, mouths gaping wide, unable to close them for a long while.

The originally indestructible large green stone, at this moment, was actually covered in dense cracks, like a shattered spider web, shocking to the eye.

"This... how is this possible?"

Bursts of cries erupted from the crowd; everyone found it incredulous that Boy had actually shaken the large green stone — this simply overturned their understanding.

You must know this is the Virtual God Realm, blessed with the power of the gods; how could it be possible?

The crowd was shocked into utter loss.

At this moment, near the large green stone a strange light suddenly rose, like an invisible protective membrane, thoroughly isolating this place from the outside world.

This is the Virtual God Realm's rule order being triggered.

"Crack!"

Another crisp sound rang out; the cracks on the large green stone rapidly spread and enlarged, finally with a "Boom" the large green stone collapsed with a crash, shattering into countless stone fragments, smoke and dust billowing.

Several bone fragments emitting mysterious light rolled out from the rubble pile, flashing enticing luster in the sunlight.

"Success!" Boy's face flushed red with excitement, shouting loudly, he lunged forward in a flash, quickly picking up a bone fragment.

This bone fragment was entirely crystal clear transparent; one look showed it was absolutely no ordinary object.

Before Boy could put it away, the other few bone fragments suddenly blazed with light, directly flying toward the sky, speed extremely fast, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The large green stone's rubble also turned into specks of light rain in an instant, dissipating in the air.

Boy looked at the single bone fragment in his hand, then at the empty sky, stamping his feet anxiously, shouting loudly: "Hey, how did they all run away! Come back!"

The people around stood stupidly in place, faces full of astonishment, unable to recover their senses for a long time.

No one had expected that this little guy, initially treated as a laughingstock by them, had actually relied on his own attack to break the passage and obtain a bone fragment — this was simply too inconceivable.

The crowd was stunned dumb as wooden chickens, completely unable to believe the scene before their eyes.

Their eyes stared round, eyeballs nearly popping from sockets, hearts incessantly screaming: How is this possible? This is simply too outrageous, like a fantasy tale!

"This is absolutely cheating! Just relying on him, a Xiao Mao Hai, how could he set a record?"

Someone in the crowd, face flushed red, shouted at the top of his lungs, tone full of doubt.

However, Boy's voice instantly drowned them out.

He stamped his feet anxiously, crying out in frantic agitation: "Why only give me one bone fragment? Where are the other three? How did they all fly away at once?"

At this moment he looked exactly like a little money-grubber, jumping up and down, yelling and hollering, that appearance making everyone feel both amused and helpless.

"My bone fragments, those are all mine, how can they run away?"

Boy still cried out relentlessly.

"Don't you already have one in your hand?"

A young man, face full of indignation, said with ill grace.

In his view, this brat before him had actually succeeded — this world was simply too unfair.

"There should originally still be several more!"

Boy replied with righteous confidence.

Hearing this, the crowd was momentarily speechless, only feeling uncomfortable all over, as if teeth ached, stomach ached, even lungs ached.

A white-haired old man couldn't help but speak: "Stop shouting! You attacked the Virtual God Realm Passage, doing such an absurdly outrageous thing; not being punished is already a stroke of luck. Giving you one bone fragment already proves you succeeded — yet you're still not satisfied?"

"Is that so……"

Boy scratched his head, his voice as tiny as a mosquito's hum: "Then if I can succeed next time, will I be able to get another piece?"

Everyone who heard this nearly fainted on the spot.

This kid is still thinking about next time, it really makes one laugh and cry.

Boy's actions were truly earth-shattering, directly leaving everyone stunned speechless, for a while fundamentally unable to accept the reality before their eyes.

Who could have imagined that this newly arrived, seemingly tender little fellow actually succeeded!

This filled everyone's hearts with incredulity, they could only shout in their hearts: How did the world suddenly lose all common sense?

You must know, what he challenged was the Virtual God Realm Passage.

Throughout the long years, this world's cultivators all held it in reverence, never has anyone dared to have the slightest thought of offense against it.

After all, that is an existence even Ancient Times Ferocious Beasts find difficult to shake; challenging it is not only overestimating one's abilities, but more like a provocation against the entire Virtual God Realm's rules.

But this Boy, the moment he stepped in here, it was as if his soul was hooked by the treasure bones, his mind full of how to obtain them, a veritable little money-grubber.

Who could have expected that in the end he actually got his wish and obtained a treasure bone.

Everyone's hearts were full of jealousy and unwillingness.

"This Xiao Mao Hai can break the Extreme Boundary, impossible, absolutely impossible."

Among the crowd, a tall thin man frowned, unwilling to believe.

"He can even create a record, what a joke! Wait a moment I'll also go try, could it be I still can't compare to this milk-smelling brat?"

A big man with a face full of horizontal flesh, arms crossed, shouted angrily.

Boy tightly gripped the treasure bone in hand, his face brimming with irrepressible joy.

He carefully turned the treasure bone over and over to examine it, eyes full of curiosity and excitement.

This Rune Bone was flawlessly white, pure without a trace of impurity, its surface circulating with a mysterious and captivating radiance, crystal clear transparent.

Careful Observation revealed that inside it faintly contained powerful rune force.

"Little friend, we agreed before, if you successfully get the treasure bone, I'll exchange it for a large amount of Spirit Stones."

A white-haired old man, face piled with smiles, eyes narrowed to a slit, walked forward slowly.

"When did I agree with you? I still plan to study it properly myself, not selling!"

Boy didn't even lift his head, refused without hesitation, his mind entirely on the treasure bone in hand.

The old man didn't give up, still wearing a smiling face, patiently said: "Aren't you always curious what Spirit Stones are? As long as you sell the treasure bone to me, I'll explain in detail."

"I'm busy studying the treasure bone right now, no time to listen to you say these things." Boy didn't even lift an eyelid, his tone full of perfunctoriness, not the slightest interest in the old man's words.

This stinking brat, refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!

The old man was secretly annoyed, the smile on his face instantly froze. Back then, this Boy still respectfully asked him for advice, he couldn't be bothered to even glance at him.

But now, he took the initiative to show goodwill, yet this kid actually doesn't know good from bad, truly infuriating.

"Little friend, for the sake of me lending you the iron pry, just consider selling the treasure bone to me."

At this time, a middle-aged man with a face full of smiles approached, his gaze revealing a trace of anxiety.

"So it's Qiao Shu ah."

Only then did Boy lift his head, looking at him with a face full of innocence.

The middle-aged man heard this, black lines instantly appeared on his forehead, said with a laugh-cry expression: "I'll emphasize once more, that iron pry really isn't mine, I just happened to help you find it!"

"Not yours? Then how could you lend it to me, and even bring this up as leverage?"

Boy blinked his watery big eyes, face full of doubt, looking like he'd pursue the matter to the bottom.

"You this child, how can you be so unreasonable!"

The middle-aged man nearly fainted from anger, heart both anxious and angry, yet had no way to deal with Boy.

Everyone watching this scene couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.

Everyone was attracted by the treasure bone in Boy's hands, eyes shining.

Although everyone's hearts were still constantly complaining this matter was too unreasonable, they still involuntarily surrounded him, their gazes full of greed.

Just then, a strand of mysterious mist slowly rose, an ancient stone stele slowly rose from the ground.

On the stone stele emerged a line of big characters emitting dazzling radiance, each character flashing with golden Radiance, simultaneously emitting a clang-clang powerful sound.

"Destroy Initial Ground Passage, reward Primordial Treasure Bone one piece."

This line of characters was vigorous and powerful, radiance seizing the eyes, instantly illuminating the entire Sky, everyone nearby startled by this sudden movement.

"He really created a record, Virtual God Realm even recorded it!" Everyone shocked and amazed, then began whispering, discussing spiritedly.

"This Xiao Mao Hai became famous in one go, first time entering caused such a big commotion, truly unexpected……"

Everyone lost their temper, only feeling this matter too absurd, completely beyond their scope of understanding.

The stone stele slowly approached Boy, emitting gentle radiance. Boy looked at the stone stele, a face of bewilderment, muttered softly: "You still owe me three treasure bones, how come you only give one?"

Everyone who heard this nearly vomited blood on the spot, this little money-grubber, even at this time still thinking of those few treasure bones that flew away.

"Carve relevant information on the stone stele, perfect this record." An old grandpa with a five-colored bird standing on his shoulder walked forward, kindly reminded Boy.

"Many thanks Bird Grandpa for the reminder." Boy hurriedly thanked.

"Go go go, who is Bird Grandpa! Don't shout randomly!" The old man heard this, angered into blowing his beard and staring, nearly jumped up.

Boy scratched his head, stood before the stone stele, looking at the stone stele emitting mysterious radiance before him, both novel and somewhat at a loss.

He hesitated for a good while, held the carving tool gesturing for half a day, but the stone stele remained a blank.

"No need to write real information, just write whatever you like most, or the person you love most." That always enthusiastic young girl once again walked forward, softly reminded.

The little fellow's heart full of excitement, raised hand and wrote, brush strokes vigorous and powerful, in a blink wrote five big characters at the very top of the stone stele: Tie Guo Ao Ru Nai.

In a flash, runes on the stone stele flashed and jumped, the characters he wrote seemed to be granted life, emitting bright radiance, deeply embedded into the stone stele, dazzling to the point of being hard to look at directly.

Everyone first stood stunned for an instant, immediately followed by an eruption of deafening laughter.

Some laughed until they doubled over, hands clutching their stomachs tight; others laughed until tears streamed sideways, mouths split to their ears.

"What kind of name is this, haha, it's simply absolute!"

"This little brat, could it be he still thinks about drinking beast milk all day?"

Everyone laughed without restraint, the scene momentarily spiraling out of control.

The little guy only now belatedly realized, asking with a blank face: "What on earth is going on?"

That kind-hearted girl stepped forward, explaining softly: "What I meant was, you don't have to write your real name; just use the precious artifact you like most in daily life, or a divine bird or fierce beast to replace it. Look at me, my name here is Cai Luan."

The little guy heard this, his face turned crimson with a "shua", embarrassed enough to wish he could find a crack in the ground to burrow into, stammering: "Can it still be changed?"

"Absolutely not!" Everyone spoke in unison, full of mockery and teasing.

The little guy was mortified beyond measure, suffering bitterly in his heart; saddled with such a bizarre name, how would he ever get by in this place from now on?

At this moment, someone at the side said: "There's still one last line of characters not carved yet."

The stone stele stood steadily before them, emitting a warm, gentle light.

This time, Boy dared not act recklessly again, hesitating for a good long while before asking carefully: "What exactly needs to be written this time, you guys must explain it clearly to me."

A middle-aged man stepped forward, saying: "In whatever aspect you have reached the peak of perfection, just write it truthfully."

Everyone also put away their earlier laughter, gazing at the little guy, waiting for him to set brush to stone.

The little guy pondered for a moment, then solemnly lifted the brush and wrote two characters: Attack and Conquer.

"This time there shouldn't be a mistake, right?"

He muttered in a low voice, his tone carrying a trace of apprehension.

Someone nodded in affirmation: "Mm, correct. As long as the content is true, afterward the Xu Shen Jie will grant you a certain degree of protection, after all you created an unprecedented record in the Chu Shi Di."

"There's even this kind of good thing?"

The little guy's eyes went round as saucers, full of pleasant surprise.

The person next to him added: "But if you told a lie, then you won't have these benefits; I heard you'll even be specially 'looked after', subjected to all kinds of harsh 'special' tempering."

Right at this moment, not only in the Chu Shi Di, but throughout the entire Xu Shen Jie's Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, stone steles slowly emerged from the ground, brilliant light dazzling, several lines of characters clearly emerging on them.

"Huh, someone broke a record!"

"Who on earth is it, what aspect's ultimate realm was broken?"

In an instant, the entire Xu Shen Jie was shaken by this news.

In this world, any single record holds a pivotal status, symbolizing that a certain domain has reached a peak difficult for ordinary people to attain, worthy of everyone's highest respect.

But when people saw the characters "Tie Guo Ao Ru Nai", they all froze instantly, the expressions on their faces as bizarre as could be.

What kind of name is this, how could someone take such an absurd title?

Among the crowd the pot instantly boiled, everyone discussing animatedly.

A young man stroked his chin, speculating thoughtfully: "This 'Iron Pot', could it be some extremely unique Furnace precious technique? I once heard that some mysterious ancient Ancient Families' inherited precious techniques are incomparably strange; perhaps this is it."

Another person immediately curled his lip, retorting with a face full of disdain: "How could that be, what precious technique could be this outrageous? In my view, it's definitely this little brat writing nonsense."

"But what if it's true? A person who can break a record, who knows, they might truly grasp some world-shaking Furnace precious technique; perhaps boiling beast milk has some unknown special use."

Yet another person put forward a completely different view.

However, within the crowd, there was a small portion of people whose expressions were exceptionally heavy.

"There exists a subtle and unique connection between Iron Pot and Furnace."

These people secretly comprehended that this seemingly ignorant little guy, the "Tie Guo Ao Ru Nai" he wrote, the Furnace precious technique hidden behind it might be unfathomable, beyond imagination, absolutely not as absurd and laughable as it appears on the surface.

Everyone continued reading down, and when they saw the line "Destroy the Chu Shi Di Passage", the entire Xu Shen Jie instantly boiled over.

"No way, doing this kind of thing, and still rewarded with a precious bone, is there still any Heavenly Principle or king's law?"

"Just who is this divine person, idle with nothing to do going to destroy the Xu Shen Jie's Passage, simply too outrageous!"

Everywhere an uproar, everyone indignantly accusing.

The Xu Shen Jie is vast and boundless; whenever a new record is born, it inevitably attracts everyone's gaze, because behind this, there must be a Peerless Powerhouse standing at the peak in a certain domain.

"Too absurd, just who is this brat, simply making one's hair stand on end with rage, unforgivable!"

"How bored must this person be to go destroy a Passage, no wonder they could become a new record; previously no one ever did this kind of absurd thing!" (Chapter End)
