Protagonist:

Jiang Xuan

Chu Shi Zhi Di was exceptionally lively, with crowds coming and going, shoulder to shoulder.

Auspicious light flickered on the great green stone, constantly drawing out golden channels, one group after another walking out from within them.

"I heard a little brat broke records in a single day; I must go see this for myself."

"Rumor has it he's extorting six great clans; this time there's a good show to watch."

The golden channel shone brilliantly, cultivators emerging in groups. They came from higher-level Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands, having heard of the strange occurrences here on the Record Stele of Xu Shen Jie, and rushed to investigate.

"Fellow Daoist, long time no see! I heard you made a great breakthrough in your cultivation; is it true?"

"Ashamed, ashamed, it's merely a small achievement. I've traveled these past years, and now to gather here is truly rare."

In Chu Shi Di, golden channels frequently appeared on the great green stone; those arriving included youths, elders, and cultivation seniors with weathered faces. They met one another, recalled the past, and lamented how swiftly time passed.

From this lively scene one could see how many eyes Chu Shi Di had attracted.

Today's prosperity far surpassed the past, exceptionally lively.

Outside, the clamor was noisy, but Boy sat alone on a huge boulder, chin propped in hand, staring unblinkingly at his "spoils of war," gaze burning, muttering under his breath: "This pile could trade for a Supreme Treasure, that pile for a Rare Treasure Technique..."

Each "pile" he spoke of consisted of several hundred strong individuals, among them not a few high-born, exalted superiors.

At this moment, these usually imposing strongmen were being appraised by him pile by pile.

Seeing this scene, the crowd couldn't help but laugh and felt helpless.

This child was cunning and unconventional in his actions. Who knew how the strongmen of the Four Great Clans would feel seeing this; they'd probably be so angry they'd jump like thunder.

This little brat's style was truly too unexpected; they didn't consider how imposing the strongmen of the Four Great Clans usually were, now being treated this way, where could they put their faces? Afraid they were already furious, smoking with rage.

Indeed, the strongmen captured by the Six Great Clans this time numbered over a thousand, now haphazardly piled into six "human mountains," each gravely injured, movement extremely difficult.

Once high and mighty, now appraised pile by pile by a hairbrat child—how could this not feel stifling?

Among these six "human mountains" were several great figures of normally supreme status; in the past, a stomp of their feet would shake the whole world, they commanded wind and rain, imposing and mighty, wherever they went surrounded by crowds, attended by retinues.

But now they were no different from ordinary captives, casually piled together, suffering such humiliation. This immense gap made their stifled feelings almost devour them.

"A great shame!"

A white-haired old man, chest heaving violently, panting heavily, face flushed red with anger, his bloodshot eyes glaring fixedly at the little brat not far off, sitting on a boulder, chin propped, happily guarding his "property."

There was also a middle-aged strongman, eyes tightly closed, strenuously adjusting his breath, trying to calm the anger in his heart.

He gritted his teeth, his cheeks bulging from the effort. In the real world, every time he went out, countless beings would welcome him, the scene extremely grand.

But now reduced to this state, how could he not feel hatred surging to the heavens.

"Hey, you two brats, don't just drop dead on me! I'm still waiting to trade you for powerful treasures and techniques; if you die, you're worth nothing!"

Once these words were spoken, the strongmen lying on the ground trembled with rage, roaring in their hearts: "This hateful little ghost, why does he speak so nastily!"

Several old men nearby who had come to join the excitement saw the scene and sighed: "This child, his style is truly unique, hard to fathom."

Some simply couldn't stand Boy's arrogance, thinking: "This snot-nosed brat acts deviously, doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth; today I must teach him a lesson!"

Having said that, he charged toward Boy with a menacing aura.

"Bang!"

The battle instantly erupted; Boy showed no fear, runes flashing all over his body, light radiating everywhere.

Beams of light streaked through; in just a moment, those who charged up fell one by one, losing their ability to fight.

"You guys don't look like you have much value anyway, so don't take up space alone—just get added to these piles. If your clan comes to ransom you, you can all leave together."

Boy curled his lip and said with a look of disdain.

The crowd just defeated almost couldn't catch their breath, full of grievance: "We don't even qualify to be a pile on our own; this little ghost is too bullying!"

Just then!

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar made ears ache.

Twelve Array Flags appeared out of nowhere without warning, each one flowing with eerie black light, spinning and dancing through the air at extreme speed, colliding with each other to make a "humming" sound, interweaving complex and profound patterns.

In the blink of an eye, an airtight net of energy tightly enveloped Boy.

Clearly, the people of the Six Great Clans had arrived.

So decisive right from the start, directly sacrificing Twelve Array Flags.

An old cultivator stared solemnly at the array formation, unable to help exclaiming: "What a grand hand! These Twelve Array Flags are clearly not ordinary items; an ordinary clan couldn't produce such treasures. The Six Great Clans have joined forces this time, coming with great force!"

But after observing carefully for a while, the old cultivator quickly added: "Not right, the energy operation of these array flags is somewhat hollow; probably relying on external force to forcibly activate them, hard to last long, and the energy of these array flags probably can only be fully activated once."

Boy sensed danger, without hesitation, quickly drew his blood blade.

"Hand over the blood blade, release our people, or else, die!"

Within the array formation came a roar; the energy released by the Twelve Array Flags kept spreading.

Six strongmen stood at six positions of the array formation, runes surging around them, waiting only for a single order to act.

"Want people? Bring real treasures to trade! Your array flags' energy looks unstable; I don't fancy them!"

Boy showed no fear, shouting back at the top of his lungs.

"This brat is too arrogant! Get him, cut him into ten thousand pieces!"

Another angry shout; six middle-aged strongmen had runes flashing wildly around them, their aura like a surging thunderstorm.

Accompanied by the power released from the array flags, beams of tangible energy turned into surging waves, madly sweeping toward Boy.

"Master taught me: cut the grass but not the roots, and the spring wind will blow it back to life."

"Heaven and Earth Furnace!"

Runes flashed around Boy's body as he unleashed the Heaven and Earth Furnace Divine Ability.

In the blink of an eye, a massive furnace shadow rose from the ground, its body flickering with runes, exuding a desolate aura.

Crimson flames surged within the furnace, wrapped in violent lightning, emitting a deafening roar; for a while, heaven and earth were shrouded in crimson light, making it hard to breathe.

The crimson furnace light collided intensely with the blue array formation light laid down by the six great clans; crimson and blue light shone, erupting with power that could destroy heaven and earth.

Surging energy turned into terrifying waves, sweeping across heaven and earth, as if a volcano erupted and high mountains collapsed; the great earth trembled violently, cracks spreading continuously.

Even though the crowd was far away, they were struck by the shockwave and vomited blood, flying backward.

The crowd was horrified and hurriedly retreated.

This place became a terrifying storm center, crimson light and blue radiance interweaving, divine power surging.

"Quickly rescue the people, don't let this brat succeed!"

Someone among the six great clans looked anxious, shouting at the top of their lungs.

Taking advantage of Boy being temporarily trapped, they rapidly dispatched elites, rushing toward the direction of the captives.

"Just relying on you lot, you also want to trap me?"

Boy let out a cold snort. "Open for me!" As he spoke, he took out a piece of pristine treasure bone.

This treasure bone came from the Virtual God Realm Passage's large green stone; it could interfere with space. In an instant, the six great clans' runic grand array shook; the originally sturdy blue light began to collapse and explode.

Boy seized the momentum and poured full power into the Heaven and Earth Furnace; crimson flames erupted like magma, instantly disintegrating a corner of the ancient array.

After breaking free, his aura grew even more vigorous; he directly charged toward the six great experts.

"Receive death!"

Boy roared, a crimson flash passed; that person's arm was instantly turned to ash by the high temperature.

"This... what terrifying precious technique! It can practically refine all things in the world!"

"This child, what exactly is his origin? Too terrifying!"

Seeing this, the crowd was shocked speechless, their faces written full of fear and incredulity.

"Your people are still in my hands; if you want them to survive, bring equivalent treasures to exchange!"

Boy bathed in light, utterly fearless, full of confidence.

The six great experts' faces turned ashen; they regrouped once more, activating the ancient array and treasure bones, pouncing ferociously: "Little bastard, today is your death day!"

"Then let's try!"

Boy operated the Heaven and Earth Furnace, welcoming them without a trace of fear.

"Boom!"

Heaven and earth thundered; the furnace spun rapidly, runes dazzling.

Although Boy suffered attacks, he endured them head-on relying on his powerful physical body and divine ability.

In contrast, the enemies were all shocked into flying horizontally.

Two of them directly exploded into pieces, turning into blood light and vanishing; one lost the ability to move, and another carried a treasure bone and escaped using the ancient array.

After this battle, Boy's fame spread far and wide.

Later the six great clans sent people to attack many times; all were beaten by him until they fled in utter rout. Many experts came admiringly to challenge him, among them no lack of experts surpassing the Cave Heaven realm, yet without exception all were defeated by his hands.

Boy toward!

The six great clans had no choice; each sent a jar of fierce beast true blood.

These few jars of precious blood were precious to the extreme; their bloodline power was comparable to ancient era remnant species. The crowd sighed in amazement; this child actually made the six great giant clans yield.

The six great clans' personnel left in a sorry state; Boy stood in place and shouted loudly: "Next time we meet, don't let me down!" Someone was so angry they stomped their feet; some secretly swore to take revenge.

Boy held the precious blood in his bosom, heart full of joy.

He knew this precious blood could strengthen spiritual power; returning to the real world it could also nourish the physical body. News spread, the four directions were shocked; everyone marveled endlessly at this risen Xiao Po Hai.

The Initial Ground remained bustling with voices, extraordinarily lively.

Boy wore a smug expression and said loudly: "Has that mountain been found? I'm already eager to go challenge those records."

His voice was exceptionally loud in the noisy crowd, instantly attracting the gazes of surrounding experts.

Since last time Boy alone bravely fought the six great clans and successfully demanded precious blood, he had become a prominent figure of the Initial Ground; his every move drew intense attention.

"This child's Heaven and Earth Furnace Divine Ability is simply unheard of! That power, as if it can refine all things of heaven and earth, even able to contend against the six great clans' joint forces — truly too terrifying!"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed softly.

Someone spoke: "Just several li away, there are records left by Shi Yi."

"Shi Yi?!"

This name was like a bomb, instantly stirring up a thousand waves in the crowd.

Shi Yi, an existence like a god.

Whether in the real world or in the Virtual God Realm, Shi Yi's name is like a towering high mountain.

Making people unable to help but look up in awe, even more making people give rise to reverence.

"Shi Yi, a born powerhouse! Since stepping onto the cultivation path, he has never tasted defeat, passing through barriers and slaying generals all the way — simply a war god descended to the mortal world!"

A young cultivator was so excited his face flushed red, waving his arms.

"Yes, the geniuses of the same generation, before him they are like stars encountering the bright moon, instantly losing their luster. He is young in years, yet his strength is unfathomably deep, immeasurably profound!"

An elder shook his head slightly, full of emotion and admiration.

The crowd spoke one after another, praising Shi Yi's might endlessly; in their hearts, Shi Yi was a peak difficult to surpass.

"At birth he already possessed double pupils; this is the ancient sages' divine extraordinary appearance, destined to dominate the current era. Being born in the same era as him is the sorrow of other geniuses." Someone in the crowd said softly.

"Heard he is a Born Supreme, possessing an Invincible Bone; born with the capital of invincibility!" Another person followed with an explosive revelation.

"There is actually such a thing?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly startled, and the scene instantly boiled over, a clamor rising up.

"Such terrifying talent, in the future he will surely dominate all under heaven, no one able to contend with him!"

Even those old-generation experts who were widely experienced could not help but emit exclamations of amazement at this moment.

At this time, a sharp-eyed person among the crowd suddenly reacted, pointing at Boy and crying out in alarm: "Wait, this child just said he wants to go challenge Shi Yi's record?"

Only then did everyone wake as if from a dream, focusing their gazes on Boy, full of shock and suspicion.

"These past years, who knows how many talents, unconvinced, went to challenge Shi Yi's record, and what was the result? One by one they were struck down until dejected, returning in sorry state. This Xiao Mao Hai's precious technique may be formidable, but to challenge Shi Yi is still too arrogant." A burly big man frowned and said.

"Right, his Heaven and Earth Furnace precious technique is strong, but Shi Yi is also absolutely no ordinary figure. Just what is this Boy's origin, to actually dare have such courage?" A middle-aged cultivator's eyes were full of doubt.

Everyone nodded in succession, on one hand marveling at Boy's divine abilities, on the other hand speculating endlessly about his origin.

But Boy's face was calm, his bearing composed, as if what he was about to challenge was not Shi Yi's record that made people lose courage at the mere rumor, but a sparring match more ordinary than ordinary.

"So many talents have all returned with clipped wings, whether in the Reality world or in the Xu Shen Jie, as long as they competed with Shi Yi, in the end they could only meet a miserable defeat. This child is still too young, too impulsive." Another elder gently shook his head, letting out a sigh.

Some well-meaning cultivators truly could not hold back, stepping forward one after another to persuade Boy: "Child, Shi Yi's record is no joke, too hard to break, listen to a word of our advice, don't go, lest you end up making a fool of yourself and also strike a blow to your own confidence."

Boy, however, said full of confidence: "No matter how hard, so what? I'm not afraid! I'm going to challenge item by item, and smash all his records!"

Hearing this, everyone could not help but sigh in their hearts, this child is truly a newborn calf not fearing the tiger, too Heavenly Truth.

"Child, since you've set your heart on trying, then go. Young people, eating a bit of hardship, suffering a bit of setback, perhaps can make you grow even faster." There were also those encouraging Boy.

Boy curled his lip, "I'm not going to eat hardship, I am Supreme!"

"Then good, we'll go see just whether you have this ability to create a miracle!"

Someone in the crowd started a commotion, this one shout igniting everyone's curiosity, all wanting to see this unrivaled child meet with a setback.
