We Agreed to Brag Together, But You Secretly Dominated the World

Huo Xi’s palm struck the Fourth Prince’s chest, sending him flying. His chest caved in, and his sternum was shattered. The Fourth Prince spat out black blood and crashed into a towering ancient tree outside the hall.

In an instant, earth and stones flew, and dust filled the air. The Fourth Prince attempted to stand several times, but his bones were almost entirely shattered, rendering him incapable of getting up.

“Could this girl be the crippled with the immortal gold?”

“She’s only at the Spirit Sea Realm, yet she defeated the Fourth Prince of the Golden Crow Clan, who’s a major realm higher than her…”

“Is this the terror of the Eternal Forbidden Body? It’s simply unbelievable!”

“Could it be that another prodigy, almost on par with Su Chen, has risen?”

“Truly deserving of the Golden Era. There are prodigies aplenty!”

The expressions of many human prodigies showed their astonishment. Meanwhile, the demon experts nearby wore extremely unsightly expressions.

The Golden Crow Clan was one of the strongest of the Demon Race, and they were even more formidable in ancient times. However, they were resilient and had deep foundations. Yet, the Fourth Prince of the Golden Crow Clan had now been severely injured, equivalent to a slap in the face to all demons. This humiliation was felt by each one in the race.

Huo Xi stood in mid-air, her astonishing beauty rivaling that of Mu Qingxue and Ye Ruxue. Her figure was slender and radiant, shrouded in a seven-colored divine light, resembling a goddess of war.

Step by step, she descended towards the ground, her gaze sharp. She extended her fair hand and gently tapped the ground. In an instant, divine light shone, illuminating the world. This pointed attack carried boundless killing intent, leaving many spectators shaken.

They realized that this young woman wasn’t as serene as she appeared. She seemed to have no psychological burden when defeating a prince of the Golden Crow Clan.

“Stop!”

A Quasi-Saint Realm expert from the Golden Crow Clan shouted, rising into the air. Golden light radiated from him, resembling a blazing sun. He wielded a large flag that fluttered as he swept it towards Huo Xi.

Boom!

A deafening sound reverberated, the world’s colors changing, and wind and thunder roaring. The large flag covered an area of nearly a hundred miles, intent on refining Huo Xi alive.

“Alas,” sighed the Purple Clouds Holy Lord as he watched the scene unfold. He had long foreseen the chaos that would ensue in this Prodigy Gathering. However, he hadn’t anticipated such a multitude of troubles. Having just resolved the conflict between Su Chen and the Spirit Race Patriarch, a new feud between the Golden Crow Clan and the Eternal Forbidden Body had arisen. The Purple Clouds Holy Lord couldn’t bear it any longer.

Just as he was about to take action, a massive golden hand descended from the sky with a swoosh.

Boom!

A tremendous sound echoed, and the golden hand firmly gripped the flag. With its five fingers, it exerted a slight force. A supreme-grade Dao weapon within the golden hand made a creaking sound. Not long after, the flag disintegrated into dust, vanishing into thin air.

The Quasi-Saint Realm expert from the Golden Crow Clan was severely injured, his face turning pale. He raised his head and coldly addressed Su Chen in the sky, “Su Chen, what are you doing? Do you truly wish to become enemies with my Golden Crow Clan?”

Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished. They had previously heard rumors of Su Chen’s unique connection with the Immortal gold-carrying cripple, and it now appeared to be true. Even in such circumstances, Su Chen was willing to extend a helping hand, implying that their relationship was far from ordinary friendship.

“I simply can’t stand your Golden Crow Clan bullying the weaker ones,” Su Chen replied indifferently. As he spoke, he turned his head slightly and looked at Huo Xi.

“Su Chen?” Huo Xi also turned her head slightly. When she saw Su Chen, she was momentarily entranced, but she quickly regained her composure. This was the second time Su Chen had helped her. If it weren’t for his intervention, she might have been severely injured during that attack, as the opponent was a Quasi-Saint Realm expert, something a Nirvana Realm prodigy couldn’t easily contend with.

“The favor I owe him keeps growing,” Huo Xi thought to herself. Initially, she had believed that by handing over her remaining immortal gold, their mutual kindness would be settled. However, it now seemed insufficient, immortal gold was incredibly precious, but in Huo Xi’s eyes, no treasure, no matter how precious, could compare to Su Chen’s benevolence.

“With my current strength, 1 can only accept Su Chen’s help.” Huo Xi realized. “If I want to help him, I’ll need to break through to the Nirvana Realm at the very least.” She felt a sense of disappointment because she knew her situation well. She possessed the Eternal Forbidden Body, a terrifying physique in ancient times. At one point in history, the Eternal Forbidden Body had been on par with the Chaos Sacred Body and the Ancient Sacred Body. However, in the present era, it had fallen from grace. To advance to the Nirvana Realm, she needed an abundance of spirit stones, a quantity that ordinary sects couldn’t provide. Even with that, it wasn’t guaranteed that she would achieve a breakthrough.

The main reason was that the Eternal Forbidden Body was restricted by the Heavenly Dao. Every time she faced tribulation, there were nine heavenly tribulations. While others underwent heavenly tribulations due to the approval of the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao would send down lightning tribulations based on the individual’s strength. However, whenever the Eternal Forbidden Body encountered heavenly tribulations, there were always nine. Throughout history, few had managed to overcome the ninth Nirvana Tribulation in a single attempt, let alone the ninth Saint Tribulation in the future.

Huo Xi didn’t mind the nine lightning tribulations; she cared about the vast resources it consumed. She was currently a rogue cultivator without the backing of a major faction, making it impossible to accumulate such resources on her own..
