227 – Surge in Cultivation! Wang Ping Slaughters a Supreme!

【Next, the half-step Supreme couple also had some concerns. Although you are powerful and have a special identity, if the Heavenly Wood Clan finds out that you killed their people and saved them, it will surely be very troublesome.】

【Therefore, they suggested that you need to leave this place as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the Heavenly Wood Clan finds out that their pursuers are dead, a Supreme may take action.】

【Facing a Supreme, no matter how strong or monstrous you are, it’s impossible to be a match. After all, a Supreme is much stronger than a half-step Supreme. They are not opponents that even a Great Saint can surpass. As for killing them, that’s even more unrealistic.】

【Hearing the half-step Supreme couple’s words, you chuckled and said, ‘What does it matter if it’s a Supreme? I am not afraid. If they come, they will die just the same…’】

【Hearing this, the half-step Supreme couple were stunned, thinking you were bragging. However, they quickly realized that since you are so monstrous, you must have a Supreme Protector. The level of this protector is definitely no lower than a Supreme, perhaps even an outstanding one among the Heavenly Supremes. Such a strong protector indeed makes you fearless of the Heavenly Wood Clan’s ordinary Supremes coming to search and hunt them.】

【Moreover, you likely have a life-saving trump card given by an ancestor-level figure, possibly even the embodiment of the Emperor. If this is so, not to mention ordinary Supremes, even if the Heavenly Wood Clan’s quasi-Emperor comes, they cannot do anything to you.】

【As for whether the quasi-Emperor of the Heavenly Wood Clan will come or not… Because this matter is so disgraceful, the quasi-Emperors actually have their disputes. Those quasi-Emperor factions who look down on the young master of the Heavenly Wood Clan have united to protect these side branches, letting them leave the emperor’s clan to avoid further disasters.】

【They didn’t expect that the young master of the Heavenly Wood Clan was so ruthless, secretly sending people to hunt them down, wanting to eliminate them completely.】

【Next, you didn’t say much more, indicating that although you are not afraid of Supremes, you also know that staying in this place for long would surely put you in danger.】

【Therefore, you directly contacted the Supreme Protector and quasi-Emperor you had sent away.】

【However, it was evident that the two would not arrive here so quickly. Therefore, you chose a remote ancient star, set up a grand array to conceal your aura, and patiently waited for their arrival.】

【During this process, the two half-step Supreme couple desperately infused life energy into their child, also trying to restore his eyes, but all their attempts failed.】

【The heaven’s origin divine eyes are connected to the origin. The fact that these eyes were gouged out means the origin was taken away too. The life energy couldn’t reverse the damage, and they could only sustain his life force barely.】

【Therefore, the eye-gouging process was very complex and required various rituals. This was why the child was able to hold on until his parents returned.】

【Seeing that they couldn’t save their child’s life, the two half-step Supremes were so anxious that they almost cried, wishing to infuse their own origins into their child.】

【Seeing this, you sighed and asked them to step aside so you could try.】

【Upon hearing this, the two revealed hopeful expressions, pinning their hopes on you.】

【With a serious face, you took out a supreme divine source, activated a Spacetime Divine Ability, and tried to reverse time to restore his heaven’s origin divine eyes.】

【This time-reversal ability was created by the Dark Time Emperor. With your current cultivation, using this ability was undoubtedly very taxing and could easily cause severe backlash.】

【After all, the stronger the thing being reversed, the greater the causal effect borne. If you’re reversing to resurrect an ordinary person with no fate and no connections to significant figures, it won’t require much cost… But this child, as the owner of the heaven’s origin divine eyes and being connected to the young master of the Heavenly Wood Clan, has too much causal effect. Under the backlash, you might very well die once.】

【You only dared to do it because you have many life-saving methods. Otherwise, even if the child was to die, you would only watch indifferently.】

【As your Spacetime Divine Ability took effect, the child’s condition visibly reverted, with the tear marks on his eyes gradually receding.】

【In the process, your aura grew increasingly weak, your face turned pale, and your body started to crack, spilling blood crazily.】

【Seeing you in such a dire condition, even your origin severely injured, the half-step Supreme couple were stunned, extremely moved, and also terribly frightened.】

【They couldn’t understand why you were so desperate to help two strangers and their child, even risking your own life.】

【Therefore, the two were very anxious, asking you to stop quickly. However, despite their anxious shouts, they knew they couldn’t interfere right now… Any interference would doom both you and the child to death right here.】

【Eventually, under their watchful eyes, your body exploded from within, your origin almost dried up. In contrast, the child completely recovered to his initial state, with vibrant life energy, and his eyes shimmering with brilliant light—that was the heaven’s origin divine eyes, capable of seeing the root of all things.】

【The couple, seeing their child fully restored, were both in tears and immensely happy. However, seeing you in that state, they were extremely anxious, not knowing what to do.】

【You, however, smiled faintly, indifferent to your own condition, and said that you saved the child for one purpose only, which was to accept him as your disciple because of his extraordinary talent.】

【Hearing this, the couple was stunned, not expecting your intention to be so pure.】

【Regardless of the child’s near-death state, even in normal times, it would be his honor to apprentice under someone like you.】

【Now, you are on the brink of death, and their child is alive. Feelings tumultuous, they hurriedly urged their child to kneel and take you as his master, swearing that he would one day avenge you.】

【Hearing this, the child knelt on the ground, kowtowing to you with tears streaming down his face and clenched fists, declaring that he, ‘Tian Yan,’ would surely avenge his master.】

Regarding this, you are a bit at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It sounds like you are fated to die, as if you plan to commit suicide and then resurrect yourself.

Just as you were at a loss whether to laugh or cry, you were suddenly surprised to find that your body had suddenly reconstituted itself, and at the same time, your cultivation had greatly improved, directly advancing from the peak of the Ninth Level Great Saint Realm to the Great Perfection of the Great Saint Realm.

Moreover, it didn’t just stop at this level; your magical power also had a major breakthrough, surpassing the Great Perfection of the Great Saint Realm, reaching the level that a half-step Supreme should have.

In other words, all you need to do next is temper your physical body into a Supreme Body, and you will be a genuine half-step Supreme!

Of course, besides the significant improvement in cultivation, what surprised you the most was the restoration of your body and essence.

You originally thought you needed a Rebirth Talisman, but unexpectedly, you effortlessly recovered to your peak state. It was clear that the seven-colored talent: Growing Stronger by Accepting Disciples had some hidden benefits that you hadn’t noticed before; after raising your cultivation when accepting a disciple, it could also heal your own wounds.

This mechanism is somewhat similar to some game settings where after defeating monsters and leveling up, one’s HP fully recovers. It must be said, these benefits are exceedingly good and it felt great.

…

“This hidden ability is quite good… If used well, it can completely turn the tide in desperate situations and counterattack stronger enemies.”

Wang Ping looked at the text simulated content, his gaze flickering, contemplating in his heart.

It seems that the seven-colored talent: Growing Stronger by Accepting Disciples is truly one of the top-tier types among the seven-colored talents.

As various thoughts flashed through Wang Ping’s mind, the simulation continued.

【As you were feeling quite emotional, the half-step Supreme couple was stunned. They never expected you to survive under such circumstances and even raise your cultivation to the level of Great Perfection of the Great Saint Realm.】

【No, the half-step Supreme couple quickly realized they were mistaken. Far from merely reaching the Great Perfection of the Great Saint Realm, you were directly approaching half-step Supreme, because the magical power fluctuations from your body had already reached that level, far surpassing ordinary half-step Supremes.】

【This discovery shook their minds, exclaiming that you were simply monstrous. Although there have been many throughout history who managed to find a way out in desperate situations and became stronger after a Nirvana Rebirth, someone like you, who faced such severe backlash not only without perishing but greatly increasing in cultivation, is extraordinarily rare, perhaps even unique.】

【After all, resurrecting from death and transforming through Nirvana Rebirth must adhere to basic principles. With your essence completely exhausted and your life force about to vanish entirely, achieving such a feat defies all logic.】

【While the half-step Supreme couple was shocked and disbelieving, the child Tian Yan was filled with admiration, looking up to you, his lifesaving master, to an extreme degree.】

【After you recovered, seeing the reactions of the three, you gave a light laugh, saying nothing more and without any intention of explanation.】

【At that moment, your gaze sharpened, suddenly looking towards the outer sky.】

【Seeing your reaction, the half-step Supreme couple also felt a terrible premonition.】

【As for Tian Yan, he also looked in that direction, his eyes flashing with divine light, seemingly seeing the scene outside, and stated that the bad guy had found this place.】

【This surprised you greatly, making you realize the power of the Heaven’s Origin Divine Eyes. This ocular talent is indeed quite impressive; what even the half-step Supreme couple failed to notice, a mere child could see through the spacetime formation and observe the situation outside.】

【Next, you let out a light laugh, indicating there was no need to worry, as it was just an ordinary Supreme who you could easily kill.】

【These words made Tian Yan admire you immensely, greatly trusting in you, his master.】

【As for the half-step Supreme couple, they also smiled lightly. This time, they believed you could contend with this Supreme. After all, even though you have yet to forge your Supreme Body, you are equivalent to a half-step Supreme. Only your physical body is significantly more fragile compared to a half-step Supreme, but as long as you avoid close combat, it wouldn’t impact your combat power.】

【With your terrifying talent, you might really be able to fight a Supreme with the half-step Supreme cultivation and defeat it, though they thought it would still be very difficult for you to kill it.】

【As you were engrossed in your thoughts, the spacetime formation trembled violently and was soon broken.】

【When the formation was broken, the pursuing ordinary Supreme then saw the half-step Supreme couple, Tian Yan, and you.】

【This sight made his previously prepared mocking expression freeze. He was astonished to find that Tian Yan was not dead, had recovered his Heaven’s Origin Divine Eyes, and had survived.】

【He knew for certain that the half-step Supreme couple did not have this ability. Moreover, the spacetime formation just now was quite exquisite; if he weren’t a Supreme and had methods to locate the half-step Supreme couple, they really would have been hidden from him.】

【This made the ordinary Supreme turn his gaze to you, sensing your extraordinariness. However, because you deliberately concealed your aura, showing only the cultivation of a Great Saint, he couldn’t see through you. As a Supreme, he naturally did not consider you to be an ordinary Great Saint, thinking you might be hiding your cultivation.】

【However, he sneered again, thinking that regardless of your identity or cultivation, it couldn’t possibly be at the Supreme level. If it were, you wouldn’t be hiding behind a formation and so easily have it broken by him.】

【Thinking thus, this ordinary Supreme from the Heavenly Wood Clan snorted coldly, indicating that although he did not know what method you used to restore the Heaven’s Origin Divine Eyes, it was a fortunate matter. As long as he captured Tian Yan and seized his double pupils to merge with the young lord’s Heaven’s Origin divine eyes, it would definitely advance further and undergo transformation.】

【With these words, this ordinary Supreme from the Heavenly Wood Clan looked down loftily and shot towards you, regarding you as an ant.】

【In response, your expression was indifferent, and you directly used all your magic power, deploying the Spacetime Divine Ability, and struck with full force.】

【In an instant, you directly blocked the attack of the ordinary Supreme.】

【This left the ordinary Supreme stunned, not expecting you to be so monstrous, able to block his casual strike.】

【However, he soon started laughing, recognizing your physique. He believed that capturing you could make the young master truly peerless, and he continued his assault on you. This time, he planned to use divine abilities.】

【In response, you sneered, taking no defensive measures, and unleashed the most terrifying divine ability directly at the ordinary Supreme of the Heavenly Wood Clan.】

【Seeing this, the ordinary Supreme of the Heavenly Wood Clan sneered, thinking you were foolish enough to believe that a suicidal fighting style could force him to turn from attack to defense.】

【In his eyes, no matter how strong you were, he would still be the first to kill you. He would at most suffer some insignificant minor injuries.】

【However, something incredulous happened; when you took his attack head-on, you activated the Golden Talent: Damage Nullification, directly withstanding the attack without any injuries.】

【The ordinary Supreme of the Heavenly Wood Clan couldn’t comprehend how you could endure his Supreme’s strongest attack without even losing a strand of hair, but he had no time to think further because your attack gave him a strong sense of danger.】

【As a result, he had to abandon everything, forcibly raising his cultivation with a secret technique while also deploying defensive divine abilities to block your attack.】

【However, just as he was defending, you sneered, consuming a century of lifespan to activate the Purple Talent: Divine Ability Nullification, rendering his defensive divine abilities ineffective.】

【As the defensive divine abilities of the ordinary Supreme of the Heavenly Wood Clan were nullified, he was utterly shocked and was hit by your strongest attack as if he had no defense at all.】

【This time, you were very fortunate to trigger the critical effect of the Quartet Symphony along with the Purple Talent: Infinite Blade.】

【Thus, under your incredibly powerful attack, the ordinary Supreme of the Heavenly Wood Clan was severely injured, with a significant portion of his essence obliterated, causing his aura to plummet.】

【This terrified him, not expecting you to be so formidable and made him immediately want to flee.】

【You were quite surprised that you didn’t kill the ordinary Supreme of the Heavenly Wood Clan with one strike, and couldn’t help but marvel at how a Supreme lives up to their name. Even though the Heavenly Wood Clan’s ordinary Supreme in front of you and Supreme Feng Mo from before were both only at the initial stage of Yuan Supreme, this one was not nearing the end of his lifespan and was still in a relatively strong state. Additionally, the Heavenly Wood Clan is naturally of a type with very vigorous life force, thus he was not instantly killed by you.】

【However, you weren’t worried, as he had already been severely injured and was on the brink of death, he couldn’t escape from your grasp.】

【With a cold snort, you chased after him. Being adept at the way of spacetime, even the Supreme’s speed was insignificant before you.】

【The husband and wife at the half-step Supreme level watched this scene, looking at each other in dismay, feeling once again shocked by your combat power.】

【After all, this was a true Supreme. Even though he was only at the initial stage of Yuan Supreme, it was still a genuine Supreme, not a pseudo-Supreme with a nearing end lifespan and drastically fallen combat power, and yet he was beaten so miserably by you, almost being instantly killed.】

【This once again shattered their understanding. Perhaps it was due to their limited experience, but as far as they could remember, throughout history, no one with half-step Supreme cultivation had ever appeared to instantly kill a Supreme.】

【Thus, they could only once again marvel at your abnormality and feel that their son was truly fortunate to have met such an extraordinary master as you…It is true that misfortune and fortune depend on each other.】

【At this moment, you had already caught up with the severely injured Supreme of the Heavenly Wood Clan and attacked him again. This time, although the effect of the Purple Talent: Infinite Blade was not triggered, you still dealt enough damage to make the Supreme spurt blood.】

【Being desperately beaten by you, the Supreme of the Heavenly Wood Clan was both terrified and angered, reaching a critical level of anxiety. After all, if this continued, he would really fall here. He still had hundreds of thousands of years of lifespan left and didn’t want to die here.】

【Thus, the Supreme of the Heavenly Wood Clan roared madly, indicating that if you killed him, you should be prepared for the Heavenly Wood Clan’s frantic revenge.】

【You remained unmoved, continuing to exert your full strength, intending to kill him completely. Since things had reached this point, there was no need to hold back. When you do something, do it thoroughly.】

【Seeing your indifference, the Supreme of the Heavenly Wood Clan fell into despair, knowing that he was destined to fall here today. Resolutely, he chose to self-destruct, wanting to take you down with him.】

【It must be said, the self-destruction of a Supreme was indeed terrifying, even more so than Supreme Feng Mo’s self-destruction back then. However, you were most familiar with self-destruction. Thus, you had long prepared, and immediately used the Spacetime Divine Ability to transfer, evading most of the damage.】

……

“Did he really beat a Supreme across levels? The simulated Wang Ping is truly powerful now…”

Wang Ping looked at the content simulated by the System and sighed inwardly. However, luck played a part in this cross-level victory against the ordinary Supreme of the Heavenly Wood Clan. Without triggering the critical effects of Quartet Symphony and the Purple Talent: Infinite Blade, it would have been impossible to inflict severe injuries on him and cause his combat power to plummet.

If he isn’t severely injured, then the next option is to see if we can slowly wear him down to death… the possibilities are still quite low.

One can only say that a Supreme is indeed a Supreme, incredibly formidable.

Simulating Wang Ping’s cultivation at the eighth level of the Great Saint Realm, he speculated within the Taiyi Emperor Palace that he might be able to leap realms to defeat a Supreme… he was still too unrealistic, basing it on the Supreme Feng Mo, who had been weakened.

“However, although there is a significant difference from the speculation, the simulated combat power Wang Ping now possesses has indeed touched the Supreme level. If I activate the seven-colored talent: Instant Death Attack, killing an ordinary Supreme would be really easy.”

Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he thought inwardly.

Although the previous simulation did not describe it, Wang Ping felt that this battle should not have activated the seven-colored talent: Instant Death Attack.

Otherwise, it is impossible not to have described it. If it was activated and did not trigger until the end of the fight, then the probability would be too low, which would mean overestimating this seven-colored talent.

“The specific nature of this seven-colored talent can only be known after choosing the reward and having the System provide more detailed information.”

Wang Ping thought to himself, continuing to stare at the screen.

As Wang Ping stared at the screen, the text continued to appear.

【After you killed this Supreme of the Heavenly Wood Clan, you discovered that he left something behind after his death, which greatly surprised you.】

【After all, a Supreme’s self-destruction would cause his inner world to explode, and the items stored within would struggle to withstand the Supreme’s self-destruction, only extremely mystical items could withstand such a terrifying explosion.】

【Immediately, you grabbed the coins that this old thing exploded out of. Then, you discovered that it was a jade talisman emitting golden light.】

【You studied it for a while and found that it seemed to have very intricate spatial restrictions, even you had difficulty seeing through them.】

【This piqued your interest, giving you a strong intuition that this might be an incredible opportunity.】

【Therefore, you put it away, planning to study it carefully after returning to the Taiyi Emperor Palace.】

【At this moment, fluctuations arose again, and the quasi-emperor of the Taiyi Emperor Palace walked out of the spatial vortex. Upon emerging, he saw you and the remaining Supreme aura in the area.】

【This made him reveal a surprised expression, seemingly guessing something. After confirming from you that you had indeed fought with the Supreme and forced him to self-destruct, he was even more astounded.】

【A member of the younger generation, forcing a Supreme of the Heavenly Wood Clan to self-destruct, such an achievement, if spread out, would render any talk of the Great Saint List all nonsense, even the first of the Great Saint List, Qin Yue, could not compare with you.】

【Immediately, the quasi-emperor laughed heartily, feeling even more that you are indeed the person they are waiting for in the Taiyi Emperor Palace, perhaps capable of leading the entire palace to ascend in the future.】

【However, the quasi-emperor quickly calmed down, knowing that since you killed the Supreme of the Heavenly Wood Clan, staying in the Second Minor Universe would be troublesome, and you must leave as quickly as possible.】

【For this reason, the quasi-emperor immediately opened the pathway between the universes, intending to take you away with him.】

【In response, you shook your head and led the quasi-emperor to see Tian Yan and the other two. This made the quasi-emperor understand why you clashed with the Supreme of the Heavenly Wood Clan, rendering him somewhat speechless.】

【To take an apprentice, and ended up in a direct fight with a Supreme, truly reckless. Although the apprentice has a good talent, becoming an emperor-rank individual in the Taiyi Emperor Palace and likely a Supreme in the future, potentially reaching quasi-emperor, still cannot compare with you.】

【However, since the matter had come to this, the quasi-emperor couldn’t say much more, taking you with him as he left. As for your Supreme Protector, the quasi-emperor directly ignored him, leaving behind some information while leaving. This guy is a Sky Supreme, able to return on his own without any worries.】

【After returning to the Taiyi Emperor Palace, you found that Emperor Tianyu had left, but you didn’t pay much attention to it.】

【After that, you began to study the jade talisman and waited for news from the Ji family.】

【Soon after, the Ji family contacted you, and you represented the Ji family to compete with some youngsters, successfully entering a secret realm.】

【You obtained the Heavenly Frost Ice and the Essence of Time again.】

【After acquiring these two items, you didn’t waste any time comprehending the Dao within the secret realm, attempting to understand the Dao patterns of space.】

【Unfortunately, this secret realm is indeed a great opportunity for Saints and Saint Kings, but for you now, it is nothing special; you couldn’t comprehend the spatial Dao patterns here.】

【Feeling a bit disappointed, you weren’t too surprised. After leaving the secret realm, you returned to the Taiyi Emperor Palace, intending to refine the Essence of Time. However, this time the refining process was not smooth, as the Essence of Time intensely resisted your refinement. Furthermore, your physique didn’t seem willing to absorb the Essence of Time.】

【Feeling puzzled about this situation, you soon found the reason. It turned out that your Spacetime Dao Body was already complete, not lacking the Essence of Time anymore, having no place to accommodate it.】

【Forcing absorption would only make your Spacetime Dao Body incomplete and unbalanced. Everything exists in balance, not necessarily stronger, but balanced, which is of utmost importance.】

【If you want to advance the Spacetime Dao Body further, you must find a spatial origin of the same grade as the temporal origin you possess, allowing them to achieve a new equilibrium. Only then do you have hope to absorb and refine them together, thus potentially advancing your physique.】

【After arriving at this conclusion, you sigh. The difficulty of finding a spatial origin that matches the grade of this temporal origin is immense.】

【Remember, not just any spatial origin will do. Spatial origins are also graded in terms of strength. The origins of some cultivators practicing the Dao of Space can be considered spatial origins too, but their grade is too low.】

【To meet the conditions, you think that at least a spatial origin from someone of the Devour Space Emperor’s level is needed.】

【However, you’ve already learned their cultivation techniques and now you’re eyeing their origin; this is truly excessive and limitless. Such behavior is something you find most shameful.】

【What’s more, even if you had no limits, there’s no way you could defeat the Devour Space Emperor. Even if your cultivation reaches the quasi-emperor level, you still wouldn’t be able to win.】

【After all, the Devour Space Emperor is not an ordinary emperor—he is an extremely powerful existence among emperors, not someone that can be challenged across levels.】

【Even if you managed to defeat him, you wouldn’t be able to obtain his origin without facing his desperate counterattack. In the Upper Realm, emperors at this level would not let anyone forcibly take their origin unless they handed it over willingly.】

【As a result, you ultimately give up the idea of advancing the Spacetime Dao Body. Since you know where the temporal origin is, you can take your time finding the suitable spatial origin. You have countless opportunities to simulate; with enough time, you’re sure to find it.】

【In your ideal scenario, you imagine exploring a secret place and directly finding the origin left behind by a sitting emperor who practiced the Dao of Space.】

…

“Goodness, that’s really a wild idea. But it’s not impossible. Novels often emphasize logic, whereas many developments in the real world don’t require logic,”

Wang Ping sighed as he read through the content generated by the simulation. Before transmigrating, he’d read all kinds of novels, thinking the things authors wrote were quite absurd with numerous logical flaws.

Who would have thought, the real world is even more fantastical, completely devoid of logic!

As Wang Ping sighed, the simulation continued.

【Next, you plan to follow the path laid out in the previous text simulation. If you don’t catch that hidden hand, it will definitely become an obstacle for you.】

【So, you choose to conceal your cultivation and continue to challenge Gu Xuan.】

【Under the eyes of thousands, you again crush Gu Xuan with your Great Saint-level cultivation, defeating him.】

【Time passes quickly, and the developments become similar to those in the previous simulation.】

【Ultimately, you find yourself once again challenged by Shi Yuyan, and Qin Yue hosts the Enlightenment Tea Party as promised. You choose to attend.】

【During the party, you drink the Enlightenment Ancient Tea, gaining a deeper understanding of spatial Dao patterns.】

【Then, you trade Heavenly Frost Ice with someone for the precious medicine to refine a Supreme Body and form an alliance with Qin Yue. With fortune on your side, the secret realm opens, and Huang Yin and Huang Qing arrive.】

【Everything unfolds just as you remember it.】

【The only difference this time is that you have obtained more forbidden artifacts from Taiyi Emperor Palace that are useful at the levels of Saint King and Great Saint.】

【After entering the secret realm, the location where you are teleported is different from last time. However, you are not very concerned about this.】

【Next, you begin to look for Huang Yin and Huang Qing directly, but do not intentionally avoid the indigenous people.】

【Now, when you confront these indigenous people, you kill as many as you encounter.】

【However, while you enjoy the killing spree, you have no intention of exposing too many of your trump cards. Mostly, you rely on anomalous means to attack.】

【As long as you are willing to engage in assassination, beings in the Saint Realm have little chance of surviving, with almost no possibility of escaping.】

【Soon, you reunite with the sisters Huang Qing and Huang Yin and start looking for Qin Yue together.】

【This time, you do not intend to find other geniuses, because your power is strong enough that seeking them would be meaningless. Banding together is something only the weak do; true strength always stands on its own.】

【Unless someone qualifies as a half-step Supreme genius from the Great Saint List, they wouldn’t be worthy of being brought into your team to investigate the truth together.】

Not long after, you find Qin Yue. However, Qin Yue’s condition is clearly very bad now. Although she is already a half-step Supreme, she is suppressed here and can only use Dao markings…

Because of this, her combat power at the Great Perfection of the Saint King Realm is indeed very formidable, and she can easily fight Great Saints across levels. But these natives are not only numerous, they are also adept at using terrifying formations. With enough of them, they can surround and kill Qin Yue…

After all, Qin Yue’s path is different from yours; her path is water-based. Though extremely flexible, with strong combat endurance and recovery abilities, she is not considered strong in both escape and offense in her realm…

Soon, Qin Yue’s performance surprises you, as she turns water into ice seamlessly, still using Dao markings…

Obviously, this is some secret technique or a hidden trump card of Qin Yue’s that can catch her enemies off guard. This time, the natives clearly did not expect Qin Yue to perfectly transform the attribute, greatly increasing her attack power and changing her attack method significantly…

As a result, the formation created by the natives nearly broke down, causing all of them to vomit blood. However, at this critical moment, a native different from the others appeared, displaying Dao markings as well, stabilizing the formation by force…

This makes you frown, staring intently at this different native. It is very common to comprehend the Great Perfection laws in this secret realm…

But in this world, everything is relative. Your ability to easily comprehend the Great Perfection laws means that comprehending Dao markings will be exponentially or even several dozen times more difficult…

Because these natives lack the experience of painstakingly comprehending the laws, they do not undergo the same tempering process and are essentially artificially ripened…

Moreover, this secret realm can only support the power at the Great Perfection level of the Saint King Realm. In theory, it is nearly impossible for an existence that comprehends Dao markings to appear among these natives…

However, such an existence has appeared, which is very peculiar. You suspect that this is the mastermind behind everything, disguised as a native and hidden among them…

Just as you prepare to act, Qin Yue coldly snorts and reveals another trump card: the Small Accomplishment level of her Extreme Ice Sacred Body…

The Extreme Ice Sacred Body, like the Scarlet Flame Sacred Body, is one of the top-tier Sacred Bodies. Now, having reached the Small Accomplishment level, it exudes a presence not inferior to your Spacetime Dao Body…

Of course, this is only comparable to your undeveloped Spacetime Dao Body. If you develop your Spacetime Dao Body to the Small Accomplishment level, the gap between the Extreme Ice Sacred Body and yours will only grow wider…

As Qin Yue unleashes her Extreme Ice Sacred Body, she starts attacking fiercely again, causing the formation to shake wildly…

Seeing this, you marvel at how deeply Qin Yue has hidden her abilities. These prodigies who can reach the top ten on the Great Saint List are much stronger than you imagined and should not be underestimated…

Of course, that’s all… Although Qin Yue is powerful, if you were to fight her, you could still easily kill her…

Just as you think Qin Yue might not need your help, a wavering voice comes from the different native: ‘As expected of the top prodigy on the Great Saint List… If I capture you, my master will surely grant me more power…’

Because the native speaks in the native language, Qin Yue does not understand what he is saying, only that the native seems even more fanatical about her, and she coldly snorts while unleashing stronger attacks…

As for you, you also do not understand this native language, so you frown…

“Master… Isn’t this guy the mastermind?”

In reality, Wang Ping’s eyes sharpen as he reads the simulated text.

What kind of person could command so many powerful natives to willingly bow down and hunt the prodigies for him?

Besides, the native’s words clearly reveal that his Dao markings were not self-comprehended but bestowed upon him…

Otherwise, for a native who has reached the Great Perfection of the Saint King Realm, other powers are meaningless; only Dao markings surpass their limits…

What kind of person can make natives comprehend Dao markings?

“Also, this native knows that Qin Yue is the top prodigy on the Great Saint List, showing a thorough understanding of the outside world and a clear purpose. The stronger the prodigy, the more outstanding their talent or the greater their fame, the more they are targeted, with ample preparations. That mastermind, whom they call their master, is definitely a significant figure from the outside world.”

Wang Ping’s gaze flickers, his killing intent towards this schemer, who dares to plot against all the top forces and prodigies, grows stronger.

At the same time, he feels some admiration for their audacity and methods.

This guy is indeed a ruthless character, and if not killed, he might grow into a major BOSS-level figure.

Immediately, Wang Ping briefly enters an immersive simulation state to send the intelligence to simulated Wang Ping, then exits the immersive simulation state and returns to the text simulation state.

Knowing the situation, you decisively choose to sell out the unfortunate ally Qin Yue, continuing to watch from a hidden place, planning to follow after Qin Yue is captured to find the mastermind!
