"Since you are determined to die, this mistress will grant your wish."

Qianhuan Furen said with a wave of her hand, and suddenly demonic winds raged in the cave, making it impossible for Shi Xuan to open his eyes.

Despite this, Shi Xuan still held his long sword, standing motionless in place.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the entire cave appeared filled with dense skeletons.

These skeletons were all peak existence of the Core Dan Realm, and they walked step by step toward Shi Xuan.

Just as these skeletons were about to approach Shi Xuan, he suddenly opened his eyes, and the long sword in his hand also fell dramatically.

"Great Wilderness Sword Technique."

A sword energy swept past, and a row of Bone Demons instantly vanished into thin air.

But the surrounding Bone Demons seemed not to have seen Shi Xuan's sword and continued to rush toward him endlessly.

They were like sharks that had smelled blood.

Shi Xuan's long sword in his hand kept waving, with sword energy crisscrossing inside the cave.

But the Bone Demons in the cave seemed endless, no matter how Shi Xuan killed them, they stood up again and again like weeds.

Seeing this scene, Qianhuan Furen showed an evil smile, as she was already accustomed to such scenes.

These prodigies prided themselves on being able to challenge across realms, not knowing that in this great formation, it would be futile.

Time passed minute by minute.

The long sword in Shi Xuan's hand continued to wave unhurriedly, and within several meters around him, no Bone Demon could approach.

But continuing like this was not a solution.

Eventually, his spiritual power would be exhausted.

Shi Xuan slowed down the speed of killing Bone Demons, and his mind was also rapidly thinking about how to break through the current predicament.

Soon two answers appeared in his mind: first, use the Sword Jade given by his master; second, put himself in a desperate situation to survive, using this crisis to comprehend the Secret of All.

Shi Xuan chose the second option without hesitation, after all, he came here for training.

However, blindly killing would not solve the current problem; he needed to find a way to break the situation.

While waving his sword, he used the Secret of Before to deduce the current battle situation.

First attempt failed.

Second attempt failed.

Third attempt still failed.

...

Time had unknowlessly passed for a day.

Qianhuan Furen saw that Shi Xuan's spiritual power had been consumed by more than half, and began to think about when to make a move to take away the fate of this Son of Destiny.

In this battlefield of slaughter, wanting to become stronger through non-stop cultivation was not enough; one also needed fate. Only with enough fate could one resist the constraints of the battlefield of slaughter, thus allowing oneself to break through.

This kid in front of her had the most fate she had ever seen in her endless years.

Fortunately, this kid's fate would soon belong to her. Thinking of this, the smile on Qianhuan Furen's face became even brighter.

At the same time, Shi Xuan fiercely struck out with his sword, killing all the Bone Demons within dozens of meters before closing his eyes.

His aura rapidly weakened in that instant, and the group of Bone Demons that were about to rush forward miraculously froze in place upon seeing this.

Thousand Illusion Mistress's eyes lit up as the opportunity came. She flashed forward and reached toward Shi Xuan's heart.

Now!

A thought flashed through Shi Xuan's mind, and then he used the Shi family's secret technique, burning his essence blood to unleash his strongest sword strike. This sword strike might temporarily prevent him from using his cultivation for several days.

But in his previous deduction, he had seen that after perishing together with the Bone Demons before him, all the Bone Demons in the cave disappeared.

This meant there was only this powerful Bone Demon before him.

Clang!

With the sound of a sword cry, the precious sword in Shi Xuan's hand stabbed toward Thousand Illusion Mistress.

That sword was as fast as lightning, with the force of a thunderclap!

When the sword struck out, all sounds fell silent in an instant.

The entire cave contained only this sword, and Thousand Illusion Mistress was frozen in place by this sword.

Her face was filled with surprise, and she was greatly alarmed in her heart: How could this be possible? This kid had clearly exhausted his spiritual power, how could he still use such a sword technique?

Escape, I must escape!

Thousand Illusion Mistress's instinctive reaction was to flee, but that sword pierced through her arm, heading straight for her heart.

Bang!

With a dull sound, Thousand Illusion Mistress's body instantly exploded, leaving only a head flying in the air.

Clang!

The long sword in Shi Xuan's hand also fell to the ground. That previous sword strike had consumed all his spiritual power.

"You kid, you dare to destroy my body, I will kill you!"

Thousand Illusion Mistress let out an angry roar and opened her huge, bloodthirsty mouth.

In an instant, Shi Xuan felt a terrifying force pulling him toward Thousand Illusion Mistress.

"Master, save me!"

Shi Xuan shouted loudly, and the already prepared Sword Jade was unleashed toward Thousand Illusion Mistress.

A sword energy flew out from the Sword Jade.

With a clang sound, it pierced through Thousand Illusion Mistress's head while also penetrating the entire cave. That sword energy broke through the cave and rushed straight into the sky.

The terrifying sword energy flashed through White Bone Valley.

But it frightened all the demons in the valley, making them tremble and hide in their caves, not daring to emerge.

Rumble!

With a dull sound, the cave collapsed, and Shi Xuan was trapped under giant rocks.

At this time, he had no spiritual power left. Before falling unconscious, he used his last bit of strength to take a spiritual power recovery pill and then fell asleep.

In his unconscious state, in Shi Xuan's sea of consciousness, a dim "All" character began to emit a faint light of the Great Dao.

The light of the Great Dao grew brighter and brighter. When it illuminated Shi Xuan's entire sea of consciousness, the "All" character was completely imprinted in his mind.

An ancient voice sounded in Shi Xuan's mind.

"Comprehending the Secret of All can increase combat power by ten times."

Hearing this voice, Shi Xuan drowsily opened his eyes. Looking at the stones pressing down on him, he didn't feel any discomfort.

He casually grabbed the precious sword beside him, stabbed upward, shattering all the stones, and then slapped out with his palm, using the palm wind to blow away the stone fragments.

Huu...

Shi Xuan looked at the dim light coming from the cave entrance and let out a long breath, murmuring: "Indeed, only by putting oneself in a desperate situation to survive and stimulating one's potential can one comprehend the true meaning of the Secret of All. Now I can prepare to break through to the Heavenly Origin Realm with peace of mind."

He did not leave the narrow stone cave but instead took out several top-grade spiritual stones from his storage ring and began to arrange a formation.

When the formation was completed, Shi Xuan took another pill, feeling the abundant spiritual power within his body.

Shi Xuan began to break through the realm. As the aura in his body continuously rose, the spiritual power in the top-grade spiritual stones within the formation was also rapidly consumed.

One day later, Shi Xuan's aura shot straight into the sky like a volcanic eruption. His cultivation base also broke through its shackles, and he stepped into the Heavenly Origin Realm...
