At this moment, everyone's gaze was fixed on Wang Ruoxie, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Killing a Meridian Passage Realm with one strike in the Innate Realm, what kind of terrifying strength was that?

This wasn't just challenging across a minor realm or several minor realms, but directly crossing a Great Realm.

Although one was at the Ninth Layer of the Innate Realm and the other was at the First Layer of the Meridian Passage Realm, only separated by one minor realm, the gap between them could be described as a chasm between heaven and earth.

However, this person crossed this chasm, using his Ninth Layer Innate Realm cultivation to kill a First Layer Meridian Passage Realm with one strike. His strength had probably far surpassed the Innate Realm, worthy of being called invincible in the Innate Realm.

What shocked them the most was that this person, still in the Innate Realm, had mastered True Essence Transformation into weapons, something even strong Meridian Passage Realm cultivators might not be able to control.

As far as they knew, ordinary martial cultivators could only refine their True Essence into weapons and unleash immense power after reaching the Essence Pill Realm.

After killing Xiahou Wei, Wang Ruoxie couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Although his strength had greatly increased, he still felt somewhat inadequate against the Meridian Passage Realm.

If he hadn't reached the Ninth Layer of the Innate Realm and mastered the initial methods of True Essence Transformation, he might not have been able to kill Xiahou Wei so easily.

However, at this moment, all the True Essence in his body was almost depleted, and he probably couldn't contend with ordinary Late Stage Innate Realm opponents now.

If the previous strike hadn't killed the opponent, he would have been the one in trouble.

Fortunately, Xiahou Wei was intimidated by his True Essence Transformation and didn't have time to fully resist, being killed with one strike.

Of course, this battle with Xiahou Wei also gave him a clearer understanding of his own strength.

Now, if he unleashed his full strength and used the True Essence Transformation methods, he could already kill a First Layer Meridian Passage Realm.

As for the Innate Realm, probably no one could contend with him, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him invincible.

He lifted his foot, walked to Xiahou Wei's corpse, and retrieved the storage pouch from his body, then quickly devoured his Blood Soul.

"Buzz!"

Along with a soft sound, Wang Ruoxie felt his bloodline within his body transformed again, directly advancing two levels.

This indicated his bloodline tier had reached Fifth Grade Earth Tier, naturally boosting his strength significantly.

Then, Wang Ruoxie didn't delay and walked straight out of the mountain range.

"I wonder how Senior Sister Xueyao is doing now."

Wang Ruoxie thought to himself. Although he hadn't had any contact with Xueyao when he fled the Royal City earlier, and most people wouldn't notice they knew each other, nothing is absolute, and he couldn't guarantee Xueyao was completely safe now.

Moreover, there was Ling Yu, with sinister motives, beside Xueyao.

"I hope that guy doesn't harm Senior Sister Xueyao, otherwise, I'll definitely make him understand how insignificant the so-called genius of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty is."

A cold glint flashed in Wang Ruoxie's eyes as he suddenly trembled and rushed toward the Royal City of the Fire Cloud Kingdom at full speed.

...

At this moment, in a hut outside the Royal City.

Xueyao was lying on the ground, covered in blood, while in front of her stood a youth with a wicked smile—it was Ling Yu.

"Ling Yu, you beast, I once regarded you as a benefactor."

Xueyao looked coldly at Ling Yu and spoke.

Although due to some of Ling Yu's actions, she no longer had any goodwill toward him and even felt disgusted, no matter what, if it weren't for his rescue at the ancient ruins, she would have long been dead and couldn't have acquired the inheritance of that Essence Pill Realm expert.

Therefore, she still regarded Ling Yu as a benefactor and didn't refuse to continue traveling with him.

She never expected that Ling Yu would take advantage of her inattention to attack viciously, inflicting serious injuries on her.

"Bitch, I tried to curry favor with you in every possible way before, but you failed to appreciate it, ignoring me while flirting with that brat. Now I want to see when I have you under me if you can still be as aloof as before."

Ling Yu sneered and said to Xueyao.

Hearing Ling Yu's words, Xueyao's face turned utterly pale. She wasn't afraid of death, but if her chastity was ruined by him, she would rather die than live.

"You beast, I'd rather die than let you have your way."

Determination flashed in Xueyao's eyes as she picked up the sword in her hand and moved to slash her own throat.

"Clang!"

With a crisp sound, the longsword in Xueyao's hand was instantly knocked to the ground.

"Want to die? It's not that easy."

Ling Yu looked at Xueyao with a sinister smile, evilly saying, "Don't worry, after I enjoy myself well, I'll fulfill your wish, and I can promise that it won't be long before that brat is sent down to accompany you, reuniting you lovers in hell."

Ling Yu's words filled Xueyao's eyes with despair. If she had known it would be like this, she would rather have died than be saved by this hypocritical beast.

Slowly closing her eyes, Xueyao gave up resisting because she knew very well that in her current state, she couldn't even commit suicide, let alone fight back.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, and at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Junior Brother..."

Xueyao murmured softly.

"Haha... bitch, even at this moment, you can't forget that guy."

Ling Yu naturally heard Xueyao's murmur, his face changed, and then he sneered, saying, "I wonder what that guy would think if he knew that his beloved senior sister will soon be stripped by me and at my mercy."

"You beast, you will die a horrible death."

Xueyao glared at Ling Yu, scolding coldly.

"Go on, the more viciously you curse, the more fun I will have later, haha..."

Ling Yu laughed evilly.

"Is that so? Then I must see how happy you will be."

However, at this moment, an icy voice suddenly sounded, freezing the smile on Ling Yu's face.

And upon hearing this familiar voice, Xueyao's charming eyes were filled with hopeful joy.

Then, a figure walked in—it was naturally Wang Ruoxie.

He initially planned to search for Xueyao in the Royal City, but then he thought that after escaping the city, Xueyao likely wouldn't stay there long either, having probably already left.

Immediately, he decided to search outside the city first.

A short while ago, he heard from a passerby that a pair of young man and woman had appeared nearby, their appearances and attire matching Ling Yu and Xueyao.

He rushed over at full speed and fortunately, he wasn't too late.

"Senior Sister, heal yourself first, leave dealing with this scum to me."

Walking to Xueyao, Wang Ruoxie took out a Fourth Grade Healing Pill, gave it to her, and said.
