Qin Heng once again rushed in front of Wang Ruoxie, the poisoned black dagger in his hand stabbing directly towards the opponent's heart vein.

In his opinion, no matter how strong Wang Ruoxie's body was, it couldn't possibly withstand a middle-grade spiritual artifact dagger, let alone one poisoned.

Therefore, even if the dagger couldn't pierce through Wang Ruoxie's heart vein, as long as it broke the body's surface, death would be inevitable.

A cold smile appeared in Qin Heng's eyes, as if he had already seen Wang Ruoxie's death at his hands.

He coldly laughed in his heart, what use was talent and strength if he would still die by his hand.

However, in the next moment, Qin Heng's expression froze, the smile in his eyes disappeared, replaced by endless fear and despair.

Everyone around who also thought Wang Ruoxie was doomed had faces full of disbelief.

They saw Wang Ruoxie standing up, the black dagger aimed at him clamped firmly between his two fingers, unable to advance a fraction more.

Moreover, from Wang Ruoxie's body emanated a terrifying aura.

Even the auras of Xiahou Lie and others in the half-step innate realm couldn't compare to Wang Ruoxie's current power.

"He... broke through?"

"Is this the aura of an Innate Realm strongman?"

The crowd swallowed, their gazes fixed on Wang Ruoxie.

Wang Ruoxie had indeed broken through; when enduring Qin Heng's punch, the one hundred and eight strands of primordial power within him converged, forming a thumb-sized golden primordial power seed.

However, because the primordial power seed hadn't fully formed, he still couldn't make a move.

Now, within his Sea of Qi, a golden primordial power seed floated quietly, while a wisp of pure innate true essence condensed from the seed.

Though just a single wisp of innate true essence, it signified that he had broken through the Mortal Realm, stepping into the first realm of the Celestial Human Realm, the Innate Realm.

Furthermore, at the moment of his breakthrough, ancient phantoms appeared in his Sea of Qi space.

Each phantom exuded an unparalleled majestic aura, giving off a sacred feeling.

But at this time, Qin Heng's dagger was already attacking, so Wang Ruoxie hadn't noticed the anomaly in his Sea of Qi.

Otherwise, even with his mental state, he would've been incredibly shocked.

"How could it be... how can you still break through?"

Feeling the cold killing intent emanating from Wang Ruoxie, Qin Heng's spirit trembled ceaselessly, his face turning deathly pale.

One must know, a breakthrough in any great realm should never be disturbed, otherwise, it could result in failure with severe consequences.

Moreover, Wang Ruoxie was breaking through from the Element Transformation Realm to the Innate Realm, a leap across the Mortal and Celestial Human realms, even more difficult and dangerous, akin to charging the gate of life and death.

He thought that even if Wang Ruoxie wasn't injured by his strike, he couldn't possibly succeed in his breakthrough, but never thought that he would still manage to advance to the Innate Realm.

If facing the previous Wang Ruoxie, he still had a chance to survive, but against the Innate Realm Wang Ruoxie, he was undoubtedly doomed.

"Originally, considering we both hail from East Victory Kingdom, I'd give you a chance, but you didn't cherish it, so you shall die."

Wang Ruoxie looked indifferently at Qin Heng, uttering coldly.

"No... don't kill me."

At these words, Qin Heng's spirit trembled fiercely, quickly begging for mercy.

Facing the already Innate Realm Wang Ruoxie, he had no courage to resist.

Unfortunately, from the moment he attacked Wang Ruoxie, his fate was sealed.

Wang Ruoxie completely ignored Qin Heng's pleas for mercy; his two fingers trembled slightly.

"Crack..."

In the next instant, with a light sound, everyone was horrified to see the black dagger in Qin Heng's hand being directly broken by Wang Ruoxie's fingers.

This dagger was a middle-grade spiritual artifact, and even a top-grade spiritual artifact would find it hard to break it, yet Wang Ruoxie easily snapped it with two fingers.

Could it be that his body had transcended top-grade spiritual artifacts?

In fact, after Wang Ruoxie broke through to the Innate Realm, his strength underwent a significant leap, and his body experienced a qualitative transformation.

His flesh now emitted a faint golden light, and his bones were like jade marrow, described as golden muscles and jade bones.

His physical body was now strong enough to rival ordinary earth artifacts, even those iron armor corpses outside couldn't compare.

He estimated that his physical strength now had at least the power of ten dragons.

Merely relying on physical strength, he could easily defeat opponents of the same level, and with his robust body, he could challenge those above his level.

Moreover, the Star Shattering Finger was a celestial tier upper grade martial technique; with his current Innate Realm cultivation, he could harness a portion of its power.

Not to mention this dagger was merely a middle-grade spiritual artifact, even upper grade or top-grade spiritual artifacts, he could shatter with one finger.

"Die!"

At this moment, Wang Ruoxie uttered another cold command.

He aimed a finger at Qin Heng's brow, moving at incomprehensible speed.

"No..."

Feeling death descending upon him, Qin Heng let out a despairing screech.

"Schiik!"

With a light sound, Qin Heng's voice abruptly ceased, a bloody hole appeared at his brow, blood gushing incessantly.

Subsequently, his body fell softly to the ground, dead.

"You reap what you sow."

Wang Ruoxie cast a dispassionate glance at Qin Heng's body on the ground, speaking coldly.

Earlier, when Qin Heng sought to seize the innate essence liquid, he didn't kill him outright, but didn't expect this guy to push his luck, attempting to take his life during a critical breakthrough, a death wish.

"Dead..."

Seeing this, everyone's eyes froze in place.

"The strength of the Innate Realm is indeed terrifying."

The crowd inwardly exclaimed.

Qin Heng, at the ninth layer of the Element Transformation Realm, stood no chance against the Innate Realm Wang Ruoxie, killed by a single finger.

All the more, everyone understood that Wang Ruoxie hadn't even used much of his strength; against the Innate Realm, even a half-step innate stood no chance of resistance, let alone Qin Heng who hadn't reached half-step innate yet.

"Now, with him to deal with the Innate Realm Earth Demon Bear, we're safe."

Soon, it dawned on them that with Wang Ruoxie's breakthrough to the Innate Realm, he could fight the Earth Demon Bear persistently battering the Inner Hall doors, bringing relief to all.

"If I use all my strength now, I might even contend with a martial cultivator at the third layer of the Innate Realm."

Wang Ruoxie felt the power coursing through him, a faint smile on his lips.

"Buzz..."

Suddenly, the entire space trembled slightly.

Everyone turned to see Xiahou Lie and the others, sitting cross-legged on the ground, had also broken through.
