If those outside knew, Wang Ruoxie so violently breaking through and easily killing a puppet beast with a single punch, they'd probably think of him as a monster.

It's important to note, although puppet beasts aren't true demon beasts, in some aspects, they're even stronger than real demon beasts.

Especially in terms of physical body — it's safe to say the strongest aspect of a puppet beast is its body. After all, a puppet beast's body is made from many rare materials, refined through special techniques, far surpassing a demon beast's flesh at the same level.

Generally, those attempting to go through the tower either use a powerful weapon to directly destroy the puppet beast's body, or utilize incredibly destructive martial techniques or secret techniques to annihilate the puppet beast.

However, never has anyone directly relied on their own flesh to clash with a puppet beast, let alone effortlessly pulverize a puppet beast's body with one punch.

But now, in front of Wang Ruoxie, these puppet beasts' bodies are so easily shattered, reduced to nothing but dust with just an ordinary punch.

If someone saw this scene, they might wonder, who exactly is the real puppet beast?

"These puppet beasts on the second level of the first layer have strength equivalent to the first layer of the Acupoint Condensation Realm's genius cultivator, and there are two of them. If it were an average Acupoint Condensation Realm first layer martial cultivator, they would probably find it difficult to pass through."

After annihilating the two-winged black tigers, Wang Ruoxie thought to himself.

He guessed that the guardian puppet on the third layer would likely possess strength reaching the level of a top first-layer Acupoint Condensation Realm expert, and there would be more of them.

With that, Wang Ruoxie stepped forward and ascended to the third layer.

As expected, just as he had guessed, the guardian puppet on the third layer had strength comparable to a top-level first layer Acupoint Condensation Realm expert, with a total of three puppet beasts.

Of course, for him, these three puppet beasts posed no challenge at all.

So, with a single punch each, he violently destroyed them all, successfully breaking through this layer.

Without delay, Wang Ruoxie continued onto the fourth layer.

The guardian puppet on the fourth layer was just one, but its strength was equivalent to a second-layer Acupoint Condensation Realm martial cultivator, a giant bear.

"Boom!"

Without waiting for the giant bear to attack, Wang Ruoxie directly pulverized its massive body, several zhang tall, with a single punch.

The guardian puppets on the fifth layer were two more powerful giant bears, and naturally, Wang Ruoxie dealt with them violently, one punch each.

The guardian puppets on the sixth layer were three giant bears, equivalent to a top-level second-layer Acupoint Condensation Realm expert.

After easily annihilating them, Wang Ruoxie ascended to the seventh layer.

Entering the seventh layer, he saw a three-tailed silver fox only half a man's size. However, he didn't underestimate it because its body was smaller than the previous giant bears and two-winged black tigers.

Because he could sense that the aura emitted by this three-tailed silver fox had reached the third layer of the Acupoint Condensation Realm.

"Whoosh..."

With a soft sound, the three-tailed silver fox charged directly at Wang Ruoxie with astonishing speed.

"Bang!"

Wang Ruoxie threw a punch that struck the three-tailed silver fox heavily. Although its speed far surpassed that of the two-winged black tigers and giant bears, Wang Ruoxie still had a massive advantage in speed.

However, although his fist landed on the three-tailed silver fox, this time, it didn't directly kill it, merely knocking it back, crashing heavily against the wall.

"It seems my physical body is equivalent to the third layer of the Acupoint Condensation Realm, but probably on par with a genius cultivator of that level."

Wang Ruoxie thought to himself, given that a puppet beast's body is far stronger than an ordinary martial cultivator of the same level.

With his cultivation at the ninth layer of the Essence Pill Realm, a physical body already comparable to a third-layer Acupoint Condensation Realm genius cultivator made him extremely satisfied.

Moreover, he believed that if his cultivation broke through to the first layer of the Acupoint Condensation Realm, his physical body would surely receive a great enhancement, at least comparable to a middle-stage Acupoint Condensation Realm martial cultivator.

At this moment, the three-tailed silver fox was once again pouncing at Wang Ruoxie with ferocious eyes, clearly thoroughly enraged by him.

"Fighting Saint Fist."

Facing the charging three-tailed silver fox, Wang Ruoxie gave a light shout, swinging out his fist fiercely.

This punch wasn't an ordinary punch relying purely on physical strength as before but carried a terrifying power of martial techniques.

The terrifying fist aura almost shattered the surrounding space instantly.

Fighting Saint Fist, a Saint Tier top-grade martial technique, was the only martial technique of Saint Tier top-grade level in the Celestial Treasure Vault in the past.

Originally, his Celestial Emperor father had swept away all his powerful enemies with this Fighting Saint Fist, establishing the Great Wei Celestial Court and becoming one of the five Celestial Emperors in the Celestial Realm.

However, it was also because the Fighting Saint Fist was too powerful that he had been unable to begin cultivation of it until he finally perfected the first transformation of the Nine Transformation Primordial Scripture not long ago.

It's likely that with his current cultivation at the ninth layer of the Essence Pill Realm, he'd be unable to perform the Fighting Saint Fist.

This also shows how extraordinary the Nine Transformation Primordial Scripture is; originally requiring at least the Acupoint Condensation Realm to begin cultivation of the Fighting Saint Fist, he could already perform it at the Essence Pill Realm.

This made him all the more eager to see his powerful strength when he cultivates the Nine Transformation Primordial Scripture to a higher level.

"Boom..."

With a loud explosion, the body of the three-tailed silver fox was suddenly rendered into nothingness by the terrifying power contained in the fist aura.

Next, Wang Ruoxie directly used the Fighting Saint Fist, continuously annihilating each layer's guardian puppets.

Soon, he successfully broke through all nine layers of the first layer of the nine-story tower, arriving at the second layer's first level.

"Incredible, breaking through the first layer of the nine-story tower with a cultivation at the ninth layer of the Essence Pill Realm, I'm afraid even the top ten on the Myriad Dragons List might not be able to do that?"

"From what I know, in the recent decades, there have been only three people who managed to break through the first layer of the nine-story tower at the Essence Pill Realm. One of them is the current emperor, another is Qin Wushuang, currently ranked first on the Myriad Dragons List, and the third is this person currently breaking through the tower."

"The current emperor is hailed as the greatest genius in all ages, so it's not surprising that he managed this. Qin Wushuang, possessing the Five Elements Body, can control gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, perfectly integrating them, with strength far beyond ordinary people. Naturally, he could do it too. But this person, I really don't know how he did it."

At this moment, everyone outside was utterly shocked, staring in disbelief at the brightly lit first level.

"Sister Yue, boss is simply defiant. He really broke through the first layer, and seemingly faster than you."

Qian Duoduo exclaimed excitedly towards Xiao Ningyue.

"Do you now believe that Ruoxie has the potential to break through the second layer?"

Xiao Ningyue smiled brightly and said.

Qian Duoduo nodded repeatedly, no longer having any doubts.
