Tang Luo’s left hand gripped Ji Ming, his right hand transformed from a fist to a palm, blocking the Wind Attack Thrice. The powerful spiritual power forced him to take a few steps back. Sensing most of the power in his palm dissipate, he clenched his fingers, nailing the Tang Clan’s most robust Mortal Realm Combined Attack Technique in his grip.

Since entering the underground palace, Tang Fengran had recovered her senses. But she never expected her first moment of clarity to be witnessing Tang Zheng and two others attacking Tang Luo. She was shocked and bellowed, “What are you doing? This is Luo!”

The trio, seeing that their combined attack had failed and planning to launch another one, froze in place at Tang Fengran’s words, unsure of what to do next.

But why would Tang Luo attack Ji Ming immediately upon entering? Everyone was baffled.

Ji Ming’s head was held up high by Tang Luo. Amid the crunching sounds, Tang Luo’s left hand drew closer and closer, as if he was about to crush Ji Ming’s skull.

The sight frightened Tang Zheng and his companions, who pleaded repeatedly, “Master Luo, please calm down. Let him go, please.

“Big Brother, we only managed to hide in the underground palace because of the team leader’s help along the way. Why are you doing this?” Since Tang Xing knew that the man before her was her own brother, she no longer pondered on why his figure had changed so drastically. She quickly spoke up.

Tang Luo gave a cold glance at the two pleading youngsters, putting more force into his left hand. Blood and brain matter splattered everywhere.

He tossed Ji Ming’s corpse to the side and said to the others, “Ji Ming is dead.

He sacrificed himself to cover your retreat. Everything you’ve seen in the underground palace, keep it to yourselves. Got it?”

Tang Zheng and the others exchanged looks, at a loss for how to respond. They couldn’t understand how Tang Luo could have become so terrifying. The boy stepped forward and asked, “Brother, why did you kill him?!”

He wanted a clear answer. He couldn’t accept that their leader, who had taken care of them for the past month, was killed by his own brother.

Tang Luo gave the boy a sidelong glance and flicked his forehead. The boy crouched down clutching his head. Tang Luo then turned to the others, “Tang Ya is dead already. Not just him, if we can’t find a way to deal with those Blood Slaves outside, we’re all going to die here.”

Recalling the Blood Slaves outside that were as numerous as mountains and seas, Tang Zheng and Tang Man fell silent.

“He was from the Ji Family. There are things that he would never keep secret for the Tang Clan.” Tang Luo gave a brief explanation, “What I’m about to do in the Han Family’s secret vault, cannot be known to outsiders. You all come with me and take anything you can wear or carry. In a month, we need to break through hundreds of thousands of Blood Beasts.”

The reason for killing Ji Ming is particularly straightforward. To save everyone, Tang Luo must use the divine herbs and spirit grass from the Han Family’s treasure vault to cultivate his battle body, depleting a terrifying amount of resources.

More crucially, the secrets of his body must not be leaked, especially to the ambition-fueled Ji Clan that is planning to retaliate against Xiehe.

Because of his body’s uniqueness, it would make the spirit array rotate at hundreds, even thousands of times the normal speed, and maximize the effects of every product of the Undying Battle Body. For others who practice the Undying Battle Body, a normal diet could suffice; they could slowly grow stronger even if they ate more. But for Tang Luo, the amount of spirit grass required to cultivate the Undying Battle Body is just terrifying.

Just cultivating the ninth-grade Undying Battle Body, he had to take out three top-grade Tai Sui from the vault until only stumps were left. And the Undying Battle Body of the next grade wouldn’t just consume one or two times more, it’s likely to increase by dozens of times.

Being able to grow fast doesn’t mean he needs less nutrition. He has been worrying about how to prepare the spiritual objects for the next level of the Undying Battle Body. Items like the top-grade Tai Sui are priceless treasures that even a middle-grade Tai Sui can sell for tens of millions of gold in the market.

Based on Tang Luo’s current financial situation, he couldn’t afford the spiritual food needed to break through to the eighth grade of the Undying Battle Body, let alone reach his goal of rescuing everyone from the Spirit Realm, which would require at least the fifth or even the fourth-grade Undying Body.

So, the moment he entered the Spirit Realm, Ji Ming had to die. Not only because the division of the treasure vault is set, but also because he had secrets that absolutely could not be revealed to the Ji Family. Tang Luo, who knew the nature of the world’s families very well, understood that the Ji Clan wouldn’t be touched because he saved a clan warrior. Instead, they would plot to study his body. Because a secret that could pile up the Undying Battle Body to the second or even first grade with just resources is enough for the king of the Ji family to take any risk.

Although he repeatedly claimed that they would die together, he didn’t plan to perish with the Han Family at all. But that’s a story for another time. For now, he only had a month to make a breakthrough in physical cultivation. He didn’t have much time to explain to the youngsters, so after handing Tang Zhen to Tang Fengran, Tang Luo descended to the lower levels of the underground palace.

As Ji Fu had made it clear, the treasure vault of the Han Family comprises the five levels of this underground palace. The entrance exposed above is just that, the entrance. Every level of the underground palace contains divine items prepared by the Han Family for their resurgence.

The first underground level is full of crystal spirit weapons and divine armors, including a total of ten thousand standard sets of Slaughter Immortal Army spirit armors, along with three sets of divine armors for the commanders.

There are also various spirit weapons laid out in thousands of weapon racks, overwhelming the viewer’s senses. Not to mention the precious resources piled up like mountains.

The second underground level is filled with secret martial arts scrolls. A thousand years ago, during the great rise of martial arts, the Human Race began to classify levels. Any mysterious-level martial art that the Han Family could find is stored in this second level. Each set of martial arts belonged to a unique family, which would probably now be a major power as long as they didn’t cease to exist.

The third underground level contains the scriptures of secret techniques, all the wisdom of ancient saints and sages hidden in their handwritten books are stacked here. The volumes of secret techniques are piled up like ordinary books on the shelves, free for anyone to read.

Tang Luo didn’t stop at the first, second, or third levels, but proceeded directly to the fourth, as it contained the core techniques of the Han Family.

The Undying Battle Body, Battle Edge Tactics, including the training methods of the Slaughter Immortal Army are all on this level.

Although the items on the fourth level are fewer compared to the first three levels, it contains what Tang Luo needed the most – the exact form of the Undying Battle Body!

He took a scroll from the bookshelf. Below the four characters of ‘Undying Battle Body’, there were small words inscribed ‘Han Wu Manuscript. “This is it!” Tang Luo immediately sat down by the bookshelf, spreading the scroll in his hands. A thousand years ago, the continent didn’t have the iron scrolls and Danshu as prevalent now. Instead, they used long scrolls made from the silk of the golden cicada monster to preserve content.

As Tang Luo held the scroll, he could feel a sense of passing years. It was as if he was communicating with Saint Han from a thousand years ago.

He scrutinized the realms of the Undying Battle Body and the incredible transformations each Rune could bring to the human body. The more he read, the more furrowed his brows became.

Because Tang Luo discovered that when it came to practicing the Undying Battle Body, the Tang Clan might have been fooled by Ji Fu.

The reason lay in the first ten runes inscribed on both arms!

If he hadn’t seen this handwriting of Saint Han, Tang Luo might not have known even after successfully cultivating the Undying Battle Body that the runes of the Undying Battle Body were so particular, and the sequence of cultivation was the result of the Han Family’s countless years of painstaking experiments.

And the ninety divine runes of the Undying Battle Body carved on the whole body were divided into higher-level and lower-level divine runes..
