Six months later!

In the depths of the riverbed, Lu Xuan, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his eyes.

Deep within Lu Xuan’s pupils, a profound and mysterious black-gold flame flickered, and his aura became as deep as an abyss, with no trace leaking out.

"The Heaven-Burning Saber Skill... has undergone such a change?"

Lu Xuan didn’t hurry to leave but instead immersed his consciousness within the Pocket World inside his body.

——At this moment, the Pocket World inside Lu Xuan’s body was no longer the same as before!

It had expanded countless times compared to before, and the power of Heaven and Earth contained within it was more solid, infinitely approaching a true world.

In the center of this world, an Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect, identical in appearance to Lu Xuan, stood tall, surrounded by mysterious black-gold flames.

The black-gold flame roamed like a living creature, seeped into the ground through the feet of Lu Xuan’s Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect.

Transforming into countless dense Law Chains, silently supporting the operation of this world.

Even within these Heaven and Earth Law Chains, there was a faint presence of Rule Power.

"Half-Step Earth Venerable Realm!"

"Earth Venerable Realm!"

"Almost there!"

When all those Heaven and Earth Law Chains transform into the Rule Power, that’s when Lu Xuan breaks through to the Earth Venerable Realm.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Void Realms True Monarch (???)

Cultivation Technique: Heaven-Burning Saber Skill 10/9, Miles Apart within Inches 9/9, Undying 9/9.

Points: 1000

"The layers beyond the Heaven-Burning Saber Skill?"

"What does this mean?"

This tenth layer of the Heaven-Burning Saber Skill truly surprised Lu Xuan.

It seems just as he expected, the Heaven-Burning Saber Skill had reached its limit.

Yet, the limit of the Heaven-Burning Saber Skill has no concern with my system panel?

In short, in front of the system panel, any martial cultivation technique has no limit.

If there is, then add more points!

"Now that I have the power to protect myself, it’s time to go out."

Lu Xuan didn’t think much, slowly rose, the riverbed silt silently parted, and the water automatically evaded.

With one step out, Lu Xuan moved towards the water surface as if leisurely strolling.

The entire river behind him evaporated in an instant, revealing a dry riverbed!

Subsequently, the riverbed exposed to the vacuum zone was swiftly filled by the surrounding river water!

Not burning, not steaming, but...

"Returned to nullity."

Lu Xuan looked down at the black-gold flame dancing in his palm, whispered softly.

On this day, in the depths of Spirit Ruins’ sky, a dark rift silently cracked open.

As if... paper scorched by fire.

Of course, this movement was fleeting and unnoticed by anyone.

"Earth Venerable Realm is near!"

"Too bad that guiding strength is gone."

Lu Xuan stood with hands behind his back on the ground, remembering the guiding strength he extinguished casually.

If not to avoid that old monster finding his location, Lu Xuan truly regretted it.

That guiding strength seemed to be deliberate by that old fellow.

Guiding him to the strongest secret realm, distracting him, thus achieving his purpose.

With that old fellow leading, it would naturally be much better than Lu Xuan searching the world for secret realms himself.

Unsure how many of those Universal Relief Leaf kinds of spiritual objects are in that old fellow’s possession.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan also had the same thought as the Luoling Ruins Resentment.

The two were mutually wary, and it remained to be seen who would ultimately prevail!

"No time to waste, breaking through to Half-Step Earth Venerable, consumed six months."

"Only four short months left of the ten-month period."

Just as Lu Xuan was about to move and leave, his brows suddenly furrowed.

At the moment when Lu Xuan’s entire body’s power retracted into him, a slight disturbance unexpectedly came from the usually empty Void Realm.

Void Realm, always empty except for the clothes he stored earlier, has nothing else.

Wait... Lu Xuan’s pupils contracted.

He suddenly remembered before closing, he had placed the Profound Bird Guard’s Deputy Director Token inside.

Instantly, a thought flashed through Lu Xuan’s mind—someone was sending a message!

Without hesitating, Lu Xuan’s fingertip gently drew a line, and a dim light shot out from his bosom.

A black square box floated leisurely in the air, precisely the Void Realm.

Following that, a crimson glow burst forth within the Void Realm, and a crimson token quickly flew to Lu Xuan’s front.

The moment the crimson token appeared, two lines of gilt text phantom formed in front of Lu Xuan.

Spirit Ruins unexpected change, Demon Emperor arrived!

Nine months later, on Linking Island, Nine Heavens Secret Realm, Spirit Ruins’ master appears!

The text phantom above was carved like with a knife and axe, each stroke imbued with majestic imperial might.

"It’s a message from Her Majesty!"

Lu Xuan’s pupils contracted slightly, knowing that for the Empress of the Great Xia to personally send a message to him, the gravity of the situation was self-evident.

Yet what concerned Lu Xuan more was the information revealed in the first sentence—Demon Emperor Realm!

Equivalent to the realm of an Earth Venerable among human martial artists!

Moreover, this Demon Emperor Realm demonic beast, where did it come from?

Tell me, in the small Great Xia dynasty, there exists a demonic beast with an Earth Venerable Realm?

And it silently ran into Spirit Ruins!

Had it been someone else, Lu Xuan would’ve thought they were joking with him!

Demonic Beast of Demon Emperor Realm!

No wonder even Her Majesty The Empress hastily entered these Spirit Ruins.

It seems that the prohibition in Spirit Ruins can be breached by mysterious means.

Yet what precisely those means are, Lu Xuan had no clue.
