"Esteemed friend, I am Yun Xiuhua, may I know how to address you?"

A moment later.

Master Jade-faced, who introduced herself as Yun Xiuhua, tried to draw closer to Ji Haoyuan.

She wore a smile on her face, moving with an innate allure.

Faint glimpses of white skin could be seen.

Anyone who saw it would instinctively feel a hint of enchantment.

As though it were an innate ability she possessed.

Not only affecting men, but even women would subconsciously lower their guard by a degree and develop an inexplicable fondness for her.

However, her ability seemed to have no effect on Ji Haoyuan.

Because just as she was about to approach within a few yards of Ji Haoyuan, a dazzling sword light suddenly appeared before her.

This made Master Jade-faced's expression, full of smiles, instantly freeze.

Her delicate body abruptly retreated.

Swoosh!

Several dozen strands of black hair were scattered in mid-air, twisted by the remaining Qi energy, disappearing without a trace.

"Friend, you..."

Master Jade-faced's chest heaved suddenly.

Her previously charming face instantly bore a hint of frost.

"Get lost. The three Thunder Tribulation Fruits here have already been reserved by me. If you don't have equivalent Spiritual Objects to exchange, don't waste time here."

Ji Haoyuan was blunt.

Not mentioning whether he discovered the place first.

Merely considering the value of those three Thunder Tribulation Fruits, he was not going to let anyone have them.

Unless there was someone with the strength to challenge him.

Only then might he grant them the right to engage in a dialogue on equal terms.

But regrettably, within the Fuya Secret Realm, there might not be anyone.

Even if there were, it wouldn't be these three in front of him.

However, the three were apparently unaware.

Moreover, they couldn't easily give up on the Thunder Tribulation Fruit, a Spiritual Object for Crossing the Tribulation.

Thus, at this moment, not only Master Jade-faced but also the two cultivators from the Ice and Snow Palace and Dao Yuan Sect had faces turned slightly cold.

"Friend, your actions are a bit too domineering, aren't they?"

The cultivator from the Ice and Snow Palace spoke coldly.

While Master Jade-faced and the cultivator from Dao Yuan Sect didn't speak, they seemed to have intentionally or unintentionally surrounded Ji Haoyuan.

Moreover, the Qi mechanisms of the three locked onto Ji Haoyuan simultaneously.

Should he make a move, he would immediately be subjected to their storm-like attack.

"Domineering?"

Ji Haoyuan's lips curled into a cold arc.

"Since you say so, let me show you what true domination means.

As they say, treasures belong to those destined.

If the three of you can withstand a strike from me, Ji, I'll acknowledge your right to stay here.

If not, you can't blame me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a great sense of crisis surged in the hearts of Master Jade-faced and the other two.

All their hairs stood on end, and their spiritual senses sounded an alarm.

They wanted him to hold back, but it was too late.

Because, in an instant, a red gleam, a sword light, and a spear entirely formed of orange-red flames each attacked the trio!

"Not good!"

In that instant, the faces of the three changed drastically.

Boom!

Almost simultaneously, Gold Core Realms appeared behind them.

However, their Gold Core Realms, faced with Ji Haoyuan's current attack, were like paper.

A gentle touch was enough to shatter them like mirrors, disappearing.

Without waiting for their reaction,

the red gleam first penetrated the forehead of the Ice and Snow Palace cultivator, completely erasing his life signs.

Next was Master Jade-faced.

Around her, layers of Spirit Light shone, seemingly trying to block Ji Haoyuan's sword strike.

Yet, just like her Gold Core Realm moments ago, the Spirit Light around her shattered layer by layer under Ji Haoyuan's sword light, finally reaching her.

"Friend, spare me!

I can..."

Swoosh!

Before she could finish, the sword light shot into her open mouth and finally pierced through the back of her head.

Her beautiful face was instantly disfigured.

The last was the cultivator from Dao Yuan Sect.

Seeing the two's tragic deaths, he was left with no hope.

Suddenly he opened his mouth wide.

Bang!

A blood-colored talisman on him exploded violently.

He hadn't even considered defending against Ji Haoyuan's strike.

His entire being transformed into a blood light and vanished.

"Hmm? That's somewhat wise."

Ji Haoyuan squinted in the direction of the disappearance.

Clearly,

he hadn't anticipated that the cultivator from Dao Yuan Sect possessed such a life-saving talisman.

If he hadn't, the cultivator would never have escaped.

It wasn't Ji Haoyuan being overly ruthless; it's that in the Cultivation Realm, there's no room for compassion.

He felt clearly.

When the three appeared, they harbored murderous intent towards him.

If his strength wasn't sufficient,

had there been a chance, the trio wouldn't have spared him.

Ultimately, it's due to the limited resources in this world.

The more you have, the less others get.

The strong get stronger, and the weak get weaker.

Thus, competition becomes fiercer.

Once on this path, there's no turning back.

Continual progress and strength are necessary for a future where you control your fate.

Otherwise, you're a rootless raft, and any large-scale conflict could end your life, even decimate your clan.

Turning to glance at where the three great monsters were earlier.

He saw them fleeing panic-stricken as he slaughtered Master Jade-faced and the Ice and Snow Palace cultivator.

Ji Haoyuan didn't care, returning to sit beside the tree with three Thunder Tribulation Fruits, waiting quietly.

In the blink of days.

On this day.

The tree before Ji Haoyuan suddenly shimmered with endless thunder.

Soon after, glimmering rays and rich fragrance emanated.

This instantly rejuvenated Ji Haoyuan's spirit.

Realizing that the three Thunder Tribulation Fruits finally matured.

Without hesitation,

three jade boxes with subtle lightning appeared in Ji Haoyuan's hands.

Raising his hand in a grasp.

Sizzle—

Arcs of lightning materialized in the void.

They quickly landed in Ji Haoyuan's palm but were absorbed by a node in his hand.

Not waiting for a second wave of arcs, Ji Haoyuan's outstretched hand was already busy collecting the three Thunder Tribulation Fruits into the jade boxes with a subtle lightning aura.
