Batian Martial Soul

The woman's figure paused slightly in the turbulent current, as if her originally smooth movement had been gently swayed by an invisible hand.

Immediately afterwards, her cool and clear thoughts, like a gentle, cold spring, flowed slowly, without the slightest fluctuation of emotion, as calm as the sea before a storm: "Thank you for informing me."

These four simple words seem to carry a cold indifference that keeps people at a distance.

Before she could finish speaking, a shadow flashed, like a black lightning bolt streaking across the night sky, and her figure completely disappeared into the raging torrent of ink, leaving only chaos and Ling Xiao's thoughtful gaze.

The relaxed expression on Ling Xiao's face vanished as quickly as the tide receded.

His eyes became deep and unfathomable, as if they held endless secrets and profound thoughts.

He stood there quietly, his gaze slowly moving towards the direction where the woman had disappeared, before turning to look at the boundless darkness ahead.

The darkness was like a giant black hole, swallowing all light and hope, inspiring fear in those who looked upon it.

A cold, sharp smile curved his lips, a smile that carried a hint of disdain and determination, as if he were declaring his challenge to this dark world.

plunder!

The essence of all these heavens and myriad worlds has never changed!

In this dog-eat-dog world where the strong rule, the weak are at the mercy of others, while the strong plunder all resources at will.

The current Batian Empire is like a piece of fat meat exuding a tempting, bloody smell, hanging high in the air, attracting vultures from all directions.

Those forces with ulterior motives, like sharks smelling blood, flocked to the Overlord Empire, hoping to get a share of the spoils.

The Temple of Annihilation is the greatest threat. They are powerful, ambitious, and attempt to completely seize control of the Overlord Empire.

But they are by no means the only ones who covet them!
The mysterious woman from earlier, and the "Netherworld Hunting Group" from before, are just the tip of the iceberg.

Behind the seemingly peaceful myriad realms, countless greedy eyes lurk, all secretly watching the Overlord Empire, waiting for the best opportunity to strike.

The Overlord Empire has long been at the center of the storm.

A fierce storm is brewing, with howling winds and flashing lightning.

And he, Ling Xiao, is the most conspicuous target in the eye of the storm!
Who could have known that within his body resided a supreme treasure that drove even the Temple of Annihilation to madness?
That treasure was like a dazzling pearl, radiating a brilliant light that made countless people drool with desire.

Ling Xiao knew in his heart that he had fallen into a huge vortex, and it would be no easy task to get out.

But his eyes shone with a determined light, showing no sign of backing down.

He secretly vowed that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, no matter how many enemies were eyeing him covetously, he would protect himself and the Overlord Empire, and let those with ill intentions know that he, Ling Xiao, was not a soft persimmon to be bullied!
As for the mysterious woman from earlier, Ling Xiao wasn't really worried about her.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling the woman's appearance and aura from earlier. Her strength was indeed not to be underestimated; she was very strong, but not to an extreme degree.

Ling Xiao secretly pondered to himself that Shui Gui was a powerful assistant he had carefully cultivated and whose abilities were unpredictable and difficult to guard against.

Moreover, he also deployed many strict defensive measures in the Batian Empire. These defensive measures were layered and coordinated to form an unbreakable net.

He firmly believed that if that woman dared to cause trouble in the Overlord Empire, she would be like a moth drawn to a flame, courting death, and would ultimately only end up being smashed to pieces.

Just then, the light flowing around Xiao Lianzhu and Ling Bi, who were sitting cross-legged in the magic needle space like two tranquil statues, suddenly changed.

The light, which was originally soft and restrained, suddenly burst forth with unprecedented brilliance!
It was as if a long-dormant volcano had suddenly erupted, and the blazing, dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire Magic Needle Space.

A chilling, vast, and terrifying will, seemingly capable of freezing the river of time, spread out like a surging tide.

This will was stronger than anyone could imagine. Wherever it went, the surrounding turbulent currents seemed to sense its majesty and were instantly suppressed and frozen, as if they had been frozen in place.

Under the shadow of this terrifying will, Xiao Lianzhu and Ling Bi slowly opened their eyes.

Those eyes were completely different from before; they were no longer the pure color of ice. In their depths, it seemed as if a mysterious and vast universe was hidden.

Countless icy blue stars are born and vanish in the depths of their eyes, constantly enacting scenes of strangeness and destruction that inspire awe in those who behold them.

They stood up almost simultaneously, their postures upright and elegant, like two pine trees standing proudly in the cold wind.

Their auras were far stronger than before they entered meditation. The powerful auras surged and spread outwards like tangible waves, causing the entire Demon Needle Space to tremble.

"Done?"

Ling Xiao, who was quietly observing the surroundings, was momentarily surprised when he saw this scene.

That astonishment was like a flash of lightning across the night sky, brief yet brilliant.

But soon, that surprise turned into his habitual astonishment.

He grinned and said, "To break through in a godforsaken place like this... you guys are even more unreasonable than the laws of this land of death!"

As he spoke, he looked Xiao Lianzhu and Ling Bi up and down, his eyes full of admiration and approval.

At this moment, Ling Xiao clearly sensed the powerful aura emanating from them and secretly judged their cultivation levels.

After careful observation, he was absolutely certain:

Ling Bi has already stepped into the first level of the Great Sun Realm!
Xiao Lianzhu is also at the first level of the Great Sun Realm!
This was undoubtedly a huge surprise. In this land of death filled with crisis and challenges, their breakthrough undoubtedly added a powerful boost to Ling Xiao.

Xiao Lianzhu and Ling Bi are both exceptionally talented and gifted geniuses.

On the long road of martial arts cultivation, they are like two bright stars, shining with remarkable brilliance.

Even when they were still at the peak of the Cangyue Realm, they had already demonstrated extraordinary strength.

Ordinary third-level Great Sun Realm martial artists are often no match for them. In one-on-one combat, Xiao Lianzhu and Ling Bi can always defeat their opponents by relying on their superb martial arts skills, unique talents, and excellent control over the rhythm of the battle, until they die on the spot.

His fierce attacks and decisive moves terrified countless opponents, earning him a formidable reputation in the martial arts world.

Now, after this breakthrough, their strength has reached an astonishing new level, becoming even more terrifying!
The aura emanating from them was like a terrifying storm hidden in the deep night sky; seemingly calm, yet containing world-destroying power. (End of Chapter)
