At this moment, behind Wang Ruoxie, a sword-shaped phantom appeared.

This naturally was his Sword Blood Soul. In fact, his Blood Soul could transform into many other forms, but since his main cultivation was in Sword Dao, he naturally kept it in the Sword Blood Soul state.

And now, around his Sword Blood Soul, three violet halos swirled.

This symbolized that after devouring that trace of Blood Soul from the Meridian Passage Realm, his Bloodline Tier actually advanced by two minor levels, reaching the Third Grade of the Earth Tier.

Moreover, his cultivation was simultaneously enhanced, and though he didn't directly break through to Innate Realm Second Layer, he reached the peak of Innate Realm First Layer, just a step away from the Second Layer, ready to break through at any moment.

Certainly, his current strength was much stronger than before; even if Zhou Zhihe and others joined forces, he could handle them with ease.

"What... what is happening?"

Tang Liren's spirit trembled, and his face turned extremely grim, with disbelief flickering in his eyes.

"How can this be? How can his bloodline advance in tier?"

Su Lian'Er, along with Zhou Zhihe and others, were equally filled with disbelief.

Wang Ruoxie not only devoured the Blood Soul within the Blood Soul Jade Talisman but also seemed to use that trace of Blood Soul from the Meridian Passage Realm to enhance his own Bloodline Tier.

His cultivation also seemed to have improved by quite a bit.

Such a heaven-defying ability shouldn't exist in this world, because it is generally known that Bloodline Tiers are almost impossible to change.

As for devouring Blood Soul to enhance cultivation, it's unheard of; such heaven-defying ability has never been seen from ancient times to the present.

Xiao Ningyue, Zong Yuzhe, and several others looked at Wang Ruoxie with strange expressions.

Although they knew Wang Ruoxie seemed capable of devouring Demon Beast Essence Blood to enhance his bloodline and cultivation, they didn't expect that he could directly devour Blood Soul to elevate both Bloodline Tier and cultivation.

Regarding his secret being discovered by these people in front of him, Wang Ruoxie didn't mind.

Because with his current strength, he no longer needed to be as cautious as before; at least in the Eastern Domain, he already possessed enough strength for self-protection.

Moreover, he believed, having witnessed his means, Zhou Zhihe and others wouldn't be so foolish as to risk offending him by leaking his secret.

As for Xiao Ningyue and Zong Yuzhe, they certainly wouldn't disclose his secret.

As for Tang Liren, he was already determined to kill, so a dead man naturally couldn't reveal his secret.

"Your life-saving trump card is merely this."

Wang Ruoxie looked at Tang Liren with disdain.

"Wang Ruoxie, today I admit I've lost, but I want to remind you, no matter how strong you become, you can never confront my entire royal family."

Tang Liren's eyes flickered as he spoke, "If you spare me, I can assure you that our grievances will be written off, and the treasure resources I just acquired can all go to you. How about it?"

"From the start, you have been targeting me, attempting to kill me repeatedly. Now you want to call it even; do you think I'll agree? As for the treasure resources, killing you will get me the same result."

Wang Ruoxie replied indifferently.

"Wang Ruoxie, do you really mean to eradicate me completely?"

Tang Liren shouted fiercely.

Hearing this, Wang Ruoxie merely glanced coldly at Tang Liren, unwilling to waste more words, and slashed directly with his sword.

The Sword Qi surged forth, striking towards Tang Liren.

Feeling the terrifying power contained within the Sword Qi, Tang Liren's expression changed drastically with fear, retreating rapidly without any hesitation.

Wang Ruoxie's lips curved into a cold smile, thinking, trying to escape? Too late.

With Cloud Soaring Step, his figure turned into an afterimage and in the next instant, he appeared in front of Tang Liren.

"Cloud Emergence Technique."

Wang Ruoxie slashed his sword again, and after breaking through to the Innate Realm, the power of this Cloud Emergence Technique was far beyond before, with speed increased severalfold.

"Emperor's Divine Fist."

Tang Liren roared angrily, instantly throwing a punch, and immediately, a golden fist seal coalesced, hurtling towards Wang Ruoxie's sword.

"Boom!"

In an instant, Wang Ruoxie's sword collided with the golden fist seal.

The golden fist seal shattered instantly, but Wang Ruoxie's sword showed no signs of slowing down, continuing to slash towards Tang Liren.

"I'll fight to the death with you."

With nowhere left to retreat, Tang Liren screamed frantically.

As his words fell, a ferocious aura surged violently from his body.

"He actually detonated the Primordial Power Seed."

Wang Ruoxie's eyes slightly narrowed, he didn't expect Tang Liren to have such resolve.

To know, detonating the Primordial Power Seed, although it could significantly boost strength in a short time, once the primordial power within dissipated, he'd become a cripple without any cultivation.

Tang Liren acted so decisively to detonate the Primordial Power Seed because he knew, Wang Ruoxie wouldn't spare him. But even if he were to die, he wouldn't let his opponent have it easy, aiming for mutual destruction.

"Emperor's Ultimate."

Tang Liren shouted again, then furiously launched his fists at Wang Ruoxie.

Golden fist seals cascaded like a storm, bombarding towards Wang Ruoxie.

"Thunderous Wave Technique."

Wang Ruoxie slashed his sword again, and endless Sword Qi transformed into roaring waves, sweeping towards the oncoming golden fist seals.

"Boom, boom…"

Accompanied by deafening blasts, those golden fist seals were swiftly annihilated by the relentless sword waves.

"Ah!"

The next moment, a scream echoed, as Tang Liren's entire body was engulfed by the sword waves like a violent storm.

"Really killed him?"

The crowd watched as Tang Liren's mangled body lay on the ground, utterly shocked.

Although they could see that the feud between Wang Ruoxie and Tang Liren had reached an irreconcilable stage, they didn't expect Wang Ruoxie to be so decisive, killing even the Second Prince of his own country without hesitation.

Both Xiao Ningyue and Zong Yuzhe weren't surprised, for knowing Wang Ruoxie's character, even if Tang Liren were just the Second Prince, even the Sovereign of East Victory Kingdom might not escape his wrath.

Ruan Junhao and Qiu Yao, however, looked at Wang Ruoxie with stunned eyes, not expecting him to really dare to kill Second Prince Tang Liren. Didn't he fear royal retribution?

It's understood that, although the Sovereign Tang Xuanyi is the only one publicly known to possess Innate Realm cultivation, it's well known their royal family's deep foundation contained an abundance of Innate Realm experts.

Furthermore, the Tang family has maintained control over the East Victory Kingdom for hundreds of years, partly due to their backing by a strong presence in the Meridian Passage Realm.

Even if Wang Ruoxie possessed the strength to challenge higher realms, he undoubtedly couldn't contend against a powerhouse from the Meridian Passage Realm.

In their view, Wang Ruoxie's actions were incredibly unwise; even with a deep grudge, he shouldn't have killed Tang Liren.

Yet now, Wang Ruoxie decisively killed Tang Liren, creating a huge disaster. Not only will he face the royal family's furious vengeance, but his own family will also be implicated.
