Many talented individuals cast their gazes forward.

Behind the stone gate was a vast, boundless ocean.

It wasn't the starry sea outside the Kun Peng's nest, but a real ocean!

"Could this be a small world?"

"Indeed, only the ancient Kun Peng could create something like this!"

Creating a small world, shaping a paradise.

This was a technique only top-level experts could possess.

In the eyes of these imperial path geniuses, this was an inconceivable feat.

"Charge!"

Not a single genius hesitated. Compared to the opportunities before them, the true legacy of the Kun Peng should obviously be hidden within that small world.

All the geniuses entered it.

Before long, these geniuses saw something in the depths of this small world's ocean.

There was a black island, and upon the island stood a golden nest radiating colorful light.

"That's the true Kun Peng's nest, possibly containing the Kun Peng's true blood and supreme divine techniques!"

Upon seeing that golden nest, all the geniuses lost their composure and rushed forward in a swarm.

However, Void Sword Child, Kong Xuan, Golden-Winged Peng Prince, Geng Metal Stone Spirit, and others had flashes of confusion in their eyes.

By now, some geniuses had already landed on the black island.

But not long after, strange things began to happen.

Some geniuses mysteriously disappeared.

"What's going on?"

"This island is strange!"

These geniuses sensed something was wrong even before they approached the golden nest.

From a distance, seeing this, Void Sword Child's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam.

"Trickery!"

Void Sword Child raised his hand, and the long sword on his back flew into the air, slashing out a powerful spatial sword beam toward the black island!

Boom!

With a violent explosion, the island began to tremble.

At the same time, a muffled roar echoed out.

"What's happening? Has the island come alive?"

"No, this isn't an island, it's..."

Some geniuses realized what was happening.

The space around the black island twisted and rippled.

Finally, what appeared before everyone's eyes was a clam beast as large as a small island.

"That's... an ancient strange beast, Shen!" Flip River Marquis and Stir Sea Marquis exclaimed with shock.

They came from the Sea King Ancient Star Region, a realm almost entirely covered by ocean.

So they had deep knowledge of various sea beasts and could recognize them at a glance.

The clam beast before them was undoubtedly the legendary creature, Shen.

There's an idiom called "mirage" that describes this type of beast.

Shen can spew mist and create illusions to confuse cultivators.

The Shen before them, though not a pure-blooded ancient one, still possessed part of the Shen bloodline.

More importantly, the geniuses sensed that this Shen's aura had reached the Great Perfection of the Saint Realm!

This was not something a single genius could handle.

The Shen suddenly opened its closed shell.

Instantly, vortices appeared, releasing a terrifying suction force that pulled in some of the geniuses.

The few geniuses who had disappeared earlier had been secretly drawn into these vortices.

"Ah, run quickly!"

"This Shen cannot be fought!"

Most of the geniuses present were at the Dao God Realm, with only a few at the Quasi-Saint level.

Without even a single true Saint among them, how could they resist this Great Perfection Saint Realm Shen?

In the sky, Void Sword Child once again brandished his sword, the powerful waves making everyone take notice.

"Suspended Sword Technique!"

Void Sword Child slashed downward, splitting the space before him in two.

However, when the sword energy hit the Shen's shell, it only created a few sparks.

"Damn it!" Void Sword Child's eyes darkened.

"If my true self were here, I wouldn't fear this beast." Void Sword Child felt frustrated.

What he had sent was merely a spirit body. Though it possessed some fighting power, it clearly couldn't compare to his true self.

Kong Xuan also made her move, nine-colored divine light erupting from her jade hands, transforming into nine beams that shot forward.

Golden-Winged Peng Prince also spread his wings, shedding feathers that fell like golden flying swords, clanging loudly.

His ten thousand eight hundred sword feathers all slashed down, creating intense sparks upon impact.

Flip River Marquis, Stir Sea Marquis, Geng Metal Stone Spirit, Su Biyu, and others also attacked in succession.

But they couldn't harm the Shen at all.

Instead, casualties among these imperial path geniuses began to mount.

Two to three hundred geniuses had already been swallowed by the Shen.

"At this rate, we'll all die before finding the true Kun Peng's nest," Su Biyu said resentfully.

She had worked hard to recruit Geng Metal Stone Spirit to come explore the Kun Peng's nest together.

If they failed and retreated now, she would be unwilling to accept it.

"We can only attack together now. Let's kill this Shen first, then compete for the treasures based on our abilities!" Kong Xuan shouted.

"That's right, let's join forces to slay this beast!"

"With so many of us, what is there to fear!"

The other imperial path geniuses called out.

Then, all the geniuses present joined forces, combining their various techniques into a surging torrent that bombarded the Shen.

The Shen's shell was colorful and radiant, emitting a divine light. Its Great Perfection Saint Realm aura made many geniuses tremble.

Boom!

The small world erupted with shocking waves, creating tremendous turbulence.

After the bombardment, the Shen remained completely unharmed, without even a mark on its shell.

"This..." Everyone was stunned.

Golden-Winged Peng Prince, Kong Xuan, Void Sword Child, Geng Metal Stone Spirit, and others had particularly ugly expressions.

Each of them was a famous genius on the imperial path, yet even their combined efforts couldn't defeat a single Shen.

If this got out, they would lose all face.

Just as everyone was feeling helpless.

"Such a beast dares to block this divine son's path?"

As this calm voice fell.

From the distant sky, a vast sword energy spanning ten thousand feet slashed across space.

Along its path, it revealed terrifying scenes of fallen immortals, making people's hair stand on end!

"This sword energy, could it be Ye Guchen has arrived!"

Sensing this world-class sharp sword energy, Void Sword Child's pupils suddenly contracted, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

In his view, on the imperial path, besides himself, only the reincarnated Sword Demon Ye Guchen could unleash such a sword technique.

"What, Ye Guchen is here?"

"Indeed, only Ye Guchen could display such sword techniques!"

As everyone was shocked, this sword light finally descended completely.

Slash!

Before everyone's astonished gaze, the Shen that they couldn't defeat even with their combined efforts.

Under this single sword strike, its shell shattered, and it was directly cut in half!

It's worth noting that this was a Great Perfection Saint Realm Shen. Even a genius of the same realm couldn't kill it in one move.

"How is this possible? Has Ye Guchen become this powerful?"

Seeing the Shen killed with one sword strike, Void Sword Child couldn't help but feel shocked.

He had crossed swords with Ye Guchen before. Ye Guchen was strong, but not strong enough to kill a Great Perfection Saint Realm being with one strike.

As everyone was still in shock.

In the distance, a leisurely figure, walking as if strolling through a garden, finally approached through the air.

When they saw this peerless figure in white, all the geniuses' expressions froze in astonishment...
