System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

All things considered, this expedition wasn't a complete loss.

Soon, the two flew along the underground space towards a deeper tunnel.

At this moment, Chen Xuan put on a divine ore leather armor, and Wang Kaixuan also held a divine ore knife.

With the right new divine weapons, the two were able to unleash a significant increase in power.

Therefore, they traveled much faster than before on their way to the deeper underground tunnels.

"Junior brother, the next treasure location is a thousand meters below. Based on previous experience, there will definitely be a large number of demons and humans gathered around, so be extremely careful."

Chen Xuan smiled confidently and nodded, saying, "This time we've been able to unleash our full power, so why would we be afraid of these mindless demons?"

As expected, just as the two had predicted, as they approached the direction indicated by the golden compass needle, a large number of demons suddenly surged out from the surrounding demonic energy and pounced on them.

When they first faced the demon, due to their lack of experience, the two were very cautious, and their killing speed was naturally slow.

But this time was completely different. Chen Xuan not only had a divine ore leather armor, but Wang Kaixuan also obtained a divine ore knife.

As expected, Wang Kaixuan, whose strength was no longer limited, unleashed the full power of the supreme technique.

Just as the two were enjoying the slaughter of the demons, a strong sense of palpitation suddenly struck Chen Xuan's soul like a heavy hammer.

Because he possessed divine sense, Chen Xuan was exceptionally perceptive of unknown dangers, and this heart-pounding threat actually came from the direction of his senior brother.

In an instant, Chen Xuan's expression changed drastically. Ignoring the dozen or so demonic beings charging towards him, he flapped his wings and flew swiftly toward Wang Kaixuan.

"Senior brother, be careful! There's a strange creature!"

However, although sound travels quickly, it still takes some time for it to reach Wang Kaixuan.

At this moment, Wang Kaixuan was still immersed in the battle with dozens of human demons around him, seemingly unaware that a deadly killing intent had already descended.

"Hahaha, the battle was exhilarating!"

Wang Kaixuan was clad in divine ore armor, with two black dragons, conjured from supreme magic, wrapped around his waist and arms. The divine ore sword was bitten by the black dragons, making it even more powerful.

Just then, he suddenly heard Chen Xuan's urgent roar and reminder.

Unfortunately, Wang Kaixuan did not awaken his divine consciousness and was extremely slow to sense the danger of death.

Almost at the same instant, a withered claw with sharp nails suddenly emerged from the dense demonic energy behind Wang Kaixuan.

The claw was emanating a strong demonic aura and moved with lightning speed, arriving behind Wang Kaixuan as soon as it shot out.

"Brother!"

Chen Xuan witnessed this scene clearly, and his eyes immediately turned bloodshot, and he became extremely anxious.

Unfortunately, compared to the speed of this attack, even with Chen Xuan fully activating his lightning wings and using his lightning-fast steps, he still couldn't stop it in time.

Snapped--

puff-

Wang Kaixuan was still looking at Chen Xuan, and just as a look of doubt appeared in his eyes, his left chest suddenly bulged out. A claw with sharp nails instantly pierced through the stone armor and went through his chest.

"No!"

"Uh-huh——"

It wasn't until Wang Kaixuan's pupils contracted sharply that Chen Xuan could see what the creature hiding behind his senior brother was.

It was a monster with a human-like form but a head resembling an ancient worm, its entire body pitch black. At this moment, it had pierced through Wang Kaixuan's chest, and its massive maw, covered in barbs, was biting towards Wang Kaixuan's head.

At this moment, the senior brother was like a puppet, powerless to resist, allowing the strange creature behind him to devour him.

Fortunately, Chen Xuan had already rushed over at the moment the crisis struck.

Seeing his senior brother motionless like a puppet, Chen Xuan finally arrived just as the eerie worm-like creature's gaping maw was about to bite Wang Kaixuan's head.

"Die!"

The divine ore blade in Chen Xuan's right hand had accumulated its power to the maximum. This sword strike was his strongest attack in the face of his master's test, and his master had commented that even ordinary Void-Reversing Immortals would find it difficult to withstand.

At that moment, as his senior brother faced a life-or-death situation, Chen Xuan's blood seemed to be burning wildly. He arrived at the scene with incredible speed and power, almost in the blink of an eye.

Although Chen Xuan was shocked by the appearance of this strange creature, he was filled with only fear and anger at the moment.

The Divine Ore Blade unleashed its strongest strike, piercing straight into the gaping maw of the worm that was about to swallow its senior brother's head.

Seemingly sensing a deadly crisis, the bizarre worm-like creature temporarily halted its attempt to devour Wang Kaixuan, instead lifting Wang Kaixuan's body upwards in an attempt to use him as a shield against Chen Xuan's deadly sword strike.

"Soul-Shattering Technique!"

Chen Xuan was genuinely startled. If he hadn't already known that this strange creature possessed intelligence, his sword would probably have pierced his senior brother instantly.

Fortunately, Chen Xuan had already mastered superb close combat skills while fighting those ancient god and demon phantoms in the eighth space of the Sword Realm Map.

Chen Xuan's sword tip veered to the side, his steps were agile and unpredictable, and his figure performed a highly difficult move in the air that defied the laws of physics.

He not only successfully avoided Wang Kaixuan, but also instantly darted to his senior brother's side, facing the eerie worm hiding behind him.

At such close range, Chen Xuan was able to perfectly resolve the crisis, which made the worm-like, bizarre creature pause for a moment.

However, Chen Xuan seized this brief opening.

The Divine Shattering Technique is a secret technique specifically designed for the soul, usually cultivated by the second primordial spirit.

Human demons have no intelligence, only instinctive killing, so they are naturally unafraid of the impact of divine magic.

However, once one possesses intelligence, the Divine Art can be used for attack.

At this moment, Chen Xuan was almost face to face with this strange worm. Activating the God-Shaking Technique at such close range was incredibly powerful.

After its soul was violently impacted by Chen Xuan, even this worm-like creature let out a shrill and ear-piercing roar. Instinctively, it pulled out the arm that was stuck in Wang Kaixuan's chest to protect its head, which was full of barbed teeth.

The intense sense of crisis made it want to retreat and hide in a distant area rich in demonic energy.

How could Chen Xuan let such a golden opportunity slip by?

After its soul was struck, the strange creature's movements and reactions were greatly hampered.

Chen Xuan's swordsmanship was incredibly sharp; the stone knife bypassed the strange creature's wildly flailing arms and plunged viciously into its head, which was covered in disgusting barbs.

"Break!" With a furious shout from Chen Xuan, the stone knife pierced deeply into the strange creature's head, and a thick, black liquid spurted out...
