Batian Martial Soul

With Ling Bi and Xiao Lianzhu's current strength, they would probably be able to put up a fight even against a sixth-level Great Sun Realm expert.

That sixth-level Great Sun Realm expert is already a top-tier existence in the martial arts world, capable of moving mountains and filling seas, and destroying the world with a mere gesture.

But Xiao Lianzhu and Ling Bi were not afraid at all. Their eyes revealed determination and confidence, as if they were declaring to the world that they had enough strength to compete with any strong person.

"I should break through as soon as possible!"

Ling Xiao stood aside, quietly watching Xiao Lianzhu and Ling Bi, pondering to himself.

He took a deep breath, the fresh air filling his lungs, but it couldn't calm the turmoil surging within him.

Currently, his cultivation level is only at the Embracing Origin Realm.

Although his strength was comparable to a low-level Great Sun Realm cultivator thanks to his unique cultivation techniques and some fortuitous encounters, he was ultimately not a true Great Sun Realm cultivator.

When facing truly powerful opponents, he could clearly feel the gap between himself and them, and he was at a great disadvantage in battle.

In every fierce battle, he had to expend more energy and physical strength than his opponent in order to barely maintain the situation.

This feeling of powerlessness filled him with a sense of urgency. He desperately wanted to break through his current level and improve his strength so that he could more easily deal with various challenges in future battles.

"You two should rest well and consolidate your cultivation. It's best not to make a move unless it's a matter of life and death."

Ling Xiao turned around, looking at Xiao Lianzhu and Ling Bi with a gentle yet serious gaze, and earnestly gave them his instructions.

He knew that every battle would consume a lot of physical strength and energy, especially after breaking through, he needed time to stabilize his realm and become familiar with his new power.

If they get into battle too early, it may not only affect their future cultivation, but may even cause irreparable damage to their bodies.

"Let's go check out the outpost ahead. This outpost should be the key location where the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary is keeping an eye on the town and our Overlord Empire."

As Ling Xiao spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

He knew very well that the Tianyuan Holy Temple had always coveted the Batian Empire, and this outpost was a thorn in their side of the border, constantly monitoring the Batian Empire's every move and ready to launch an attack at any time.

Ling Xiao sneered, his laughter filled with disdain and provocation.

His heart was also filled with fighting spirit, as if a flame was burning fiercely within him.

He longed to fight against the powerful figures of the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary and prove his and the Overlord Empire's strength.

His figure transformed into a dazzling streak of light once more, the light as swift as lightning, instantly tearing apart the solidified spatial turbulence.

Like a fearless warrior, he charged headlong toward the stronghold of the Heavenly Abyss Sanctuary.

The sense of time inside the passage became even more chaotic and distorted, as if one had entered a time maze, making it impossible to distinguish east from west or north from south, and to feel the passage of time.

Ling Xiao continued to navigate through the chaotic passageway, but he remained clear-headed and vigilant throughout.

After traveling for an unknown amount of time, the scenery ahead suddenly changed!
The originally violent and rampant aura of death vanished without a trace, like the receding tide.

Instead, there was a strange, relatively "stable" space that had been forcibly stretched open.

This space is like a giant bubble, isolated from the chaotic world by a mysterious force, forming an independent little world.

At the center of this eerie space, a colossal creation, so immense it was breathtaking, floated prominently, instantly drawing all eyes and filling the viewers with endless awe and reverence.

It was not the neat, round shape that people imagine, but a nest-like structure meticulously constructed from countless huge, pale bones.

Each bone is thicker than imagined, as if it were the remains of an ancient behemoth. They intertwine and stack together to build this vast and complex nest.

These bones were not ordinary skeletons; they were covered with dark purple holy runes. These runes seemed to be alive, flowing slowly across the surface of the bones, shimmering with an eerie and bewitching light, and emanating a nauseating aura of decay and evil, as if they were a summons from the depths of hell, sending chills down one's spine.

Countless distorted spatial vortexes, like holes in a nest, were densely distributed on the surface of the bone nest.

These vortexes vary in size and shape; some resemble giant funnels, while others are like deep black holes. They constantly rotate and twist, connecting to the unknown distance, as if they were passageways to another terrifying world.

Whenever a breeze blows, these whirlpools emit a sharp whistling sound, like the weeping of ghosts, which sends chills down your spine.

The entire bone nest slowly rotated in the void, its slow and rhythmic rotation like the pulsating, evil heart of the abyss.

Each rotation causes subtle fluctuations in the surrounding air and space, as if announcing its existence and power to the whole world.

The malevolent aura spread continuously as the bone nest rotated, permeating the entire space and making one feel as if they were in an endless nightmare.

This is Tianyuan Outpost!
This evil creation is based on the bones of the strong, who must have been powerful and influential figures in their lives. However, their bones are now being used to build this terrifying lair, becoming a vessel for evil power.

Using dark holy runes as a guide, like evil threads, the entire bone nest is tightly connected and forcibly anchored in this chaotic space, allowing it to stand firm amidst the raging spatial turbulence.

Around the bone nest, a distorted spatial barrier could be vaguely seen. The barrier was like a giant bubble, enveloping the bone nest, yet it kept flickering and twisting, as if it would burst at any moment.

And then there are those wandering, ominous shadows, like ghosts, drifting around the bone nest, sometimes approaching, sometimes moving away, their intentions unfathomable.

However, looking at the terrifying scene before him, Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a surge of doubt and anger: "Did the Holy Temple really do this?"

"They claim to be righteous beings, yet they've abandoned even the pretense of justice and acted so evil and terrifying. Is this worthy of their holy light?!"

In his view, even if the sanctuary had ulterior motives, it should have disguised itself as virtuous rather than so blatantly displaying its evil side.

"Good guy..."

Ling Xiao gasped, the icy air filling his lungs, but it couldn't quell the burning anger in his heart.

His eyes, however, burned with an even more intense flame of destruction, as if he wanted to completely incinerate the evil bone nest before him.

"This thing...it looks like it deserves to be torn down!" (End of Chapter)
