Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!

Over a decade had passed. Chen Shixian's grace remained unchanged; her captivating, alluring face had remained the same, and her figure was slender. Even when she wore the most ordinary clothes, her beauty was difficult to conceal.

She was very beautiful.

However, compared to before, she now possessed less Spirit Qi and more worldliness. It was unclear if this was due to the trials of King Tao, or because of Chen Pingping.

Even so, with her looks, she could easily outshine many young girls; if there were rankings, she would be in the top five.

Several young Saint Land Disciples looked at her with eager excitement, not bothering to hide the fervor in their gazes, as if they were envisioning having the Ancient Divine Body beneath them. They grew excited.

The young man, being direct, took a few steps forward, ready to suppress her.

In his view, even though she was an Ancient Divine Body, her realm was far too low. He, on the other hand, was at the King Tao Peak State, just one step away from entering the Divine King realm. With his overwhelming strength, he believed he could easily crush a Divine Body.

The onlookers fell silent; she should not have intervened.

Shi Yi's expression drastically changed...

"You belong to this young master now," the youth sneered, a hint of ferocity in his eyes, as he clenched his fist and lunged.

His momentum was powerful, his Power Path even more so. His strike carried ripples of Dharma Principles unique to Divine Kings, making the very air hum with resonance. It was a powerful martial technique.

As he struck, a gleam of light flashed across his brow before vanishing. Some who caught it felt a tremor run through their hearts. Divinity Transformation?

How could Chen Shixian possibly block such a powerful attack? The youth looked young, yet his combat prowess was astounding.

Everyone was horrified.

However…

Chen Shixian's Sword Dao was even more formidable. Although it contained no Dharma Principles, it was filled with a tremendous Power Path. Strand by strand, it directly shattered the youth's fist.

The sword light transformed into a rainbow, slashing forward.

The youth was shocked. He had been full of confidence, certain his strike would defeat Chen Shixian. He never imagined her Sword Dao could be so terrifyingly powerful. Without Dharma Principles, how could it break through Dharma Principles?

HUM!

Another sword strike, unadorned and simple, cut into the youth's body.

"You..." he stammered, horrified and in disbelief.

Not just him, but all the spectators felt a chilling fear.

This scene felt familiar. It was reminiscent of when Chen Pingping, at the Divine King Realm, had slain the Chong Tower scion not long ago.

Now, Chen Shixian stood in the Supreme Mystery Realm, yet she easily overpowered someone at the King Tao Peak State…

In just two strikes, she had severely wounded the powerful Saint Land Disciple.

He kept retreating, a massive, bleeding hole in his chest. What terrified him more was the discovery that the wound was filled with a Divinity actively dissolving his life force. It felt like corrosion, yet not entirely.

Ah! What is this?!

Shi Yi was dumbfounded.

What would Zi Yan think if she saw this? he wondered. She'd probably cry, wouldn't she? Her lifelong rival is growing ever stronger. Even without breaking through to King Tao, she can easily slay those in that realm.

Chen Shixian calmed, her previously dancing hair gradually settling, a few strands still fluttering in the wind. Though slightly disheveled, her elegance remained undiminished.

Her deep black eyes gazed at the young man not far away. She said nothing, yet her calm demeanor fully embodied the innate arrogance of a Divine Body.

Looking down on a Divine Body? Claiming she hasn't broken through to King Tao? Where did such rumors originate? To severely wound a King Tao Peak State cultivator in just two strikes—is that something an ordinary cultivator could achieve?

The geniuses watched, breathless, once again reminded of Chen Pingping. Why are these two so similar?

"Be careful!" Behind her, Shi Yi cried out in alarm.

A young Saint Land Disciple attacked her from behind, wielding a knife that glinted coldly as he unleashed a powerful strike. He was also a King Tao cultivator, late-stage, Eighth Heaven. He was one minor realm lower than the previous youth…

Chen Shixian reacted instantly. She spun around, leaped, and her sword sliced through the air.

An overwhelming Sword Intent erupted with a thunderous roar. Her sword seemed to transform into a Devouring Sky Beast, instantly pouncing on what lay before her. It engulfed the figure, and dense killing intention pierced the man's body.

This time, it was a killing blow! She held nothing back.

A scream rang out as the man's life rapidly dissipated. His Divine Soul dimmed, and he fell.

The first young man struggled to his feet, ignoring his own injuries, and roared, "Damn it, let's join forces and kill her!"

This young talent from the Saint Land had only recently emerged. He hadn't yet found a Great Opportunity, nor had he battled his enemies for three hundred rounds, yet now he faced defeat by someone merely in the Supreme Mystery Realm. It was quite ironic.

After struggling to his feet, he tried to activate his Divine Weapon, but his condition was too poor. Moreover, Chen Shixian gave him no such chance, gripping her longsword and charging at him once more.

"Hold on!" the Saint Heir, who had been observing for some time, finally stepped forward, a note of resignation in his voice.

Because the young man before him was his younger brother. Few in the Saint Land knew of this connection.

Seeing him, the young man shouted, "Brother, act quickly and slay this woman! An Ancient Divine Body is a rare sight. If you can slay her, you can surely consolidate a powerful Dao Heart."

The statement itself wasn't wrong. However, he was mistaken about Chen Shixian; she too was incredibly powerful. From the moment she attacked, she had dominated him. Furthermore, her attacks had solely utilized her Sword Dao. The myriad cultivation methods of an Ancient Divine Body had yet to be displayed. If she were to use them, no one knew what level of combat power she could unleash. Presumably, it would also be terrifying.

The Saint Heir scolded, "Nonsense! Step back."

"Brother…" the young man stammered, astonished and unwilling.

"Step back!" The Saint Heir grew angry. I'm trying to save him, yet he's completely oblivious! Truly foolish!

Without waiting for the young man to retort, the Saint Heir slapped him, sending him flying. Then, he turned to Chen Shixian, "My apologies for this scene, Miss."

Shi Yi was speechless.

Chen Shixian's face showed no expression as she said, "The Saint Heir certainly has impeccable timing."

He didn't show up sooner, nor later, but chose this exact moment to intervene. Birds of a feather, she thought.

She had no desire to speak further with the Saint Heir. Since he had chosen to intervene, her chances of killing the youth were slim.

She turned to look at Shi Yi. "Are you still all right?"

Shi Yi replied bitterly, "I'm okay!"

"Let's leave this place," Chen Shixian said indifferently. "Central Continent isn't Nan Zhanbu Province. There are too many powerful factions here, and geniuses are everywhere, each stronger than the last. Take that youth, for example; he was already at King Tao Peak State. In contrast, Shi Yi had only just entered King Tao. The gap between them was immense. Seeking opportunities is one thing, but it's best not to court death."

Shi Yi knew his own limitations, but he didn't want to leave. He wanted to see the legendary Demon Flower and try his luck.

Chen Shixian understood and turned, ready to leave.

At that moment, the Saint Heir called out, "Miss Chen, please wait a moment."

"What is it?" She glanced over.

"Are you free tonight?"

"No!"

"Err, what about later?"

"Still no!"

"Tomorrow!"

"Sorry, my heart is already taken." Chen Shixian thought of a certain someone and, for reasons she couldn't quite fathom, blurted this out.

A blush spread across her oval cheeks. She quickly turned her head away.

Shi Yi, happening to witness this, stared, his mouth slightly agape.

「Outside the crowd.」

Chen Pingping touched his nose and chuckled, "This girl... someone's finally managed to capture her heart. Not bad, not bad at all."

Hong You was speechless.
