The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Chapter 122 The Intent to Acquire

According to his estimate, at least 20,000 drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid would be needed to break through to the third-grade Supreme level.

Each time spiritual energy recovers and increases, the Supreme Spiritual Liquid, a cultivation resource, is always an indispensable element.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the idea of ​​going to the Tianluo Continent, a supercontinent, and could have just cultivated at the Jinque Chamber of Commerce in Luojian Continent.

Time passed quietly as Ye Feng meditated and cultivated, and before he knew it, it was noon on the second day.

"call--"

On a flat, black rock, Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes and exhaled softly.

After a night of recovery and cultivation, he has returned to his best condition and can continue his journey until he reaches Tianluo Continent, where he will rest.

"Um--"

Ye Feng got up and stretched his limbs, his body cracking as he was about to continue walking when he suddenly frowned.

"That direction—"

Ye Feng's spiritual senses quietly spread out, and then his eyes flashed.

Not far away on the horizon, a chaotic sound of wind breaking came, mixed with the roars of spirit beasts and the exclamations of people.

A giant black-winged demon bat, whose strength had reached the late stage of the Tongtian Realm, was frantically attacking several figures.

Although the strongest among them was also at the late stage of the Tongtian Realm, he was no match for the Black-Winged Demon Bat and was now in grave danger.

"roar!"

With a flap of its wings, the Black-Winged Demon Bat unleashed countless jet-black wind blades that swept across the sky, engulfing the fleeing figures ahead.

"You guys go first!"

With a roar, the strongest middle-aged man suddenly turned around, his spiritual power surging wildly as he desperately erected a spiritual power barrier, trying his best to give the person behind him a chance to live.

However, the difference between it and the black-winged demon bat was obviously huge.

Click!

The spiritual energy barrier shattered after only ten breaths, and the middle-aged man immediately spat out blood and flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

"You damned beast, I'll fight you to the death!"

The middle-aged man was pale, his eyes filled with determination. A large purple sword, gleaming with spiritual light, appeared in his hand. Ignoring his own injuries, he stepped forward and fought to the death, blocking the black-winged demon bat.

"Black-winged Demon Bat, ranked twenty-third on the Beast Records Ranking—"

Ye Feng walked through the air and looked at the black-winged demon bat from the light.

The black-winged demon bat had wingspans of over a hundred feet, its entire body as black as ink, and its scarlet eyes were fixed on the blood-soaked figure of the middle-aged man, emitting a piercing hiss.

"rare--"

Ye Feng's gaze sharpened slightly, his eyes filled with admiration for the middle-aged man.

He could tell that the middle-aged man was now fighting for his life, and his purpose was simple: to cover the escape of the people in front of him.

This kind of selfless and fearless belief is clearly not something that ordinary people possess. If he really wanted to escape alone, he could easily have left.

"Since we've run into them, we might as well lend a hand."

Ye Feng did not hesitate and raised his hand to wave.

A streak of spiritual energy ripped through the sky like a silver lightning bolt, moving at incredible speed, and struck the massive body of the black-winged demon bat.

"Chirp!"

A mournful screech echoed across the sky, the black-winged demon bat's wings trembled violently, countless black scales shattered, and dark red blood splattered.

The middle-aged man, covered in blood and prepared to die with his opponent, was stunned when he saw the black-winged demon bat severely injured in a single blow.

"A supreme powerhouse!"

Just as the middle-aged man was lost in thought, the black-winged demon bat let out a miserable cry, and its massive body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The sudden turn of events left the middle-aged man momentarily stunned, but a look of ecstatic joy at surviving a disaster quickly appeared on his face.

After glancing at the dead black-winged bat lying on the ground, the middle-aged man suddenly looked up at Ye Feng, who was standing in mid-air.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, sir!"

The middle-aged man quickly bowed to Ye Feng, his voice filled with gratitude.

The black-winged demon bat's aura vanished, and this unexpected turn of events caused the few people who were fleeing ahead to stop, their eyes filled with hesitation.

"Brother, should we go over and take a look?"

Among the fleeing figures, a young man with a haggard face stopped and looked back at the direction where the spiritual energy had dissipated, his eyes filled with worry and anxiety.

What's the point of running away and living like this? Besides, the Zhu family will never let them go. The Yu Yuan Continent no longer has a place for the Wang family. Rather than this, they might as well fight to the death and die with their third uncle.

The orange-clad youth at the head of the group was pale-faced, his eyes flickered, and he made a decision.

"I'm going to check on Uncle San. If anything seems amiss, you two should split up and go your separate ways."

Before he finished speaking, the orange-clad youth turned back and sped off towards the spot where the black-winged demon bat had fallen.

".."

When they arrived, they saw that the black-winged demon bat that had been chasing them all the way was now lifeless, its huge body crashing to the ground, revealing black and red flesh and blood.

"Third Uncle—"

The young man in orange was stunned for a moment, then his gaze immediately turned to the middle-aged man, Ye Feng, and he froze.

The middle-aged man waved his hand, but dared not take his eyes off Ye Feng.

"Chen'er, quickly thank this man for saving your life."

,

The orange-clad youth then came to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward, bowing deeply to Ye Feng.

"Thank you so much for saving me, sir!"

Ye Feng glanced at the orange-clad youth and nodded slightly.

The person in front of him was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. His face was somewhat similar to that of the middle-aged man. His strength was at the late stage of the Transformation Realm, but his talent and strength were only considered average.

However, his decision to return alone to investigate the situation, leaving the chance to escape to the remaining few, demonstrates a rare decisiveness and sense of responsibility.

"How did you end up being chased by these black-winged demon bats?"

Ye's gaze fell on the dead black-winged demon bat lying on the ground, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

The black-winged bats chasing after these people for no apparent reason couldn't have happened without a cause; there must be a reason.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's face darkened, and a surge of grief and indignation welled up within him before he began to explain.

"My lord, my name is Wang Fu and this is my nephew Wang Chen. Our Wang family was originally a prominent family on the Jade Origin Continent. However, after our mortal enemy, the Zhu family patriarch, advanced to the second-rank supreme, he began to exterminate our Wang family."

"Our ancestor fought desperately and died in the end. Of all the members of the Wang family, only a few of us survived."

""

As Wang Fu spoke, his eyes reddened and his voice became somewhat choked.

"But the Zhu family is still not giving up. The black-winged demon bats that are chasing us are their pet spirit beasts. If it weren't for your help, sir, we would probably not have escaped this calamity today."

Once upon a time, the Wang family was considered a top power in the Jade Origin Continent, respected and admired by others. But now they have become homeless dogs.

No faction was willing to accept them, and some even went so far as to betray their information to the Zhu family; otherwise, the current situation would not exist.

"I see--"

Ye Feng's eyes flickered slightly, and he understood.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's eyes flickered slightly, and he understood.

In this vast world, the struggle and killing between forces is commonplace. The destruction of a supreme family is something that happens almost all the time in this boundless world.

"Sir, my younger siblings are still waiting in the distance. I'll go and call them over—"

Remembering the people waiting in the distance, Wang Chen, dressed in orange, respectfully asked Ye Feng for instructions.

Go then—

Ye Feng nodded slightly and waved his hand.

The Wang family members are not particularly strong, but they are not entirely useless.

Building a powerful force requires a large number of people, and the loyalty of subordinates depends not only on shared interests but, most importantly, on their character.

Both Wang Fu and Wang Chen are quite good and have caught his eye. Moreover, considering their age, the uncle and nephew's strength is not weak.

Below the Supreme Being, all are ants, but the Three Heavens Realm is a realm that the vast majority of beings in the Great Thousand Worlds cannot reach.

Even the Spirit Wheel Realm and Divine Soul Realm are things that some people cannot reach even after exhausting their entire lives. And in some small places, such strength is enough to make one a king or a tyrant.

A moment later, Wang Chen arrived with two men and one woman. The three behind him were all around twenty years old, and their strength ranged from the early to the late stages of the Fusion Realm.

Upon arriving at the scene, the three were immediately drawn to the fallen black-winged bat and lost in thought.

The black-winged demon bat was a spirit beast raised by the Zhu family. Although it was only at the late stage of the Tongtian Realm, it was strong enough to contend with those who were physically strong.

"My lord, this is the only remaining bloodline of my Wang family."

Wang Fu gave a bitter smile, pointed at the group of people behind Wang Chen, and said in a low voice.

"Eryuan, Huer, Xier, come quickly and pay your respects to our benefactor."

Upon hearing Wang Fu's words, the three of them quickly snapped out of their daze, shifting their gaze from the corpse of the black-winged demon bat to Ye Feng, and bowed in unison.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, sir!"

Ye Feng nodded slightly, a faint smile on his lips.

But then, Ye Feng suddenly sensed something and looked into the distant void.

"How dare you! You actually dared to kill the spirit beast raised by my Zhu family!"

A cold, angry shout came from the distant horizon, and then a figure streaked across the sky, carrying a powerful spiritual aura, and sped towards this side.

It was an old man dressed in a bright red robe, with a thin face, a hooked nose, and a pair of narrow, triangular eyes that flashed with a cold light. The spiritual energy fluctuations around him were quite strong, and he was clearly a second-grade supreme being.

"Second-Rank Supreme————"

Ye Feng's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the red-robed old man who was rushing towards him, his expression calm as still water.

If he had encountered such a powerful figure when he first left the Sword Continent, he might have been somewhat wary of him, but he was no longer the same person he was when he first arrived in the Great Thousand World.

Even a second-rank supreme being was no longer a threat to him.

"The patriarch of the Zhu family!"

Wang Fu's expression changed drastically, and he instinctively took a step back, a deep look of fear flashing in his eyes.

Wang Chen and the others were also deathly pale, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

It was this person who personally killed their Wang family patriarch and wiped out their entire Wang family!

"My lord, I'm so sorry to have troubled you..."

Wang Fu subconsciously looked at Ye Feng, his eyes filled with guilt.

It would be unwise for the Wang family to get involved in such a big problem as the Zhu family.

The Zhu family patriarch was a second-rank supreme being. If it weren't for that, the Wang family wouldn't have been destroyed with their patriarch still alive.

The difference between the Supreme Ninth Rank and the Ninth Rank is enormous.

It was obvious that Wang Fu did not believe Ye Feng had the strength to contend with the Zhu family patriarch.

The reason is simple: Ye Feng looks far too young.

Since breaking through to the Sword Emperor realm, Ye Feng's appearance has remained unchanged. The only change is the mature and refined aura he exudes, which is a standard for judging a person's age.

Ye Feng ignored Wang Fu's self-confidence and simply watched the Zhu family patriarch rushing towards him. He stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering.

"Supreme One—"

The old man in red robes landed not far away, his gaze sweeping over Wang Fu and the others before finally landing on Ye Feng, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"You must have some power; no wonder you dare to interfere in the affairs of my Zhu family."

The old man in the red robe snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping over Ye Feng.

"Boy, you look unfamiliar. You're not from my Jade Origin Continent, are you?"

"Be smart and hand over these remnants of the Wang family, plus a thousand drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid as compensation, and this matter will be settled. Otherwise..."

Before he finished speaking, the red-robed elder's spiritual energy surged, and a chilling spiritual pressure spread out, crushing towards Ye Feng.

Ye Feng remained unmoved, letting the pressure of spiritual energy wash over him.

"What else?"

Ye Feng spoke calmly, his deep black eyes showing no emotion.

A mere second-rank supreme being is not worth his excessive attention or compromise.

Exchanging a late-stage Heavenly Realm spirit beast for a thousand Supreme Spirit Liquids is an outrageous demand.

The old man in the red robe's expression darkened, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"court death--"

As soon as he finished speaking, the red-robed elder flashed forward and pounced directly at Ye Feng.

With a single palm strike, a gigantic, blood-red palm of spiritual energy materialized out of thin air, carrying a chilling and bone-deep power, and crashed down towards Ye Feng.

Wang Fu and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Be careful, sir!"

Ye Feng raised his eyes and looked at the blood-red giant hand that was rushing towards him. He gently raised his right hand and pointed his fingers like a sword.

The next instant, a seven-colored spiritual energy sword light shot out from the fingertip and collided violently with the blood-red giant palm.

boom!

A violent surge of spiritual energy swept outwards, and the giant blood-red hand was shattered by a single sword strike, dissipating into countless specks of spiritual energy.

"What?!"

The old man in the red robe's expression changed, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.

He had already exerted all his strength in this palm strike, so how could he be easily stopped? The young man in front of him was no ordinary second-grade supreme being; the spirituality in his spiritual power was far stronger than his own.

Wang Fu and the others stared blankly at this scene, their eyes filled with disbelief and shock.

The old villain Zhu family, who destroyed their Wang family, was utterly helpless in front of this official, who appeared to be quite young.

"It seems I misjudged him."

The old man in the red robe suppressed his shock, a sinister look appearing on his gloomy face.

"Such a young second-rank supreme being is absolutely unheard of in the Jade Origin Continent. You should think carefully about the consequences of interfering in this matter today."

"My Zhu family has long since submitted to the Jade Origin Sect. I am no match for you, but the Jade Origin Continent has no shortage of supreme experts!"

As the old man in the red robe finished speaking, Wang Fu and the others were shocked and finally understood.

No wonder the Zhu family patriarch broke through to the second-rank supreme realm in just a few years. It turns out he had the support of the Jade Origin Sect.

The Jade Origin Sect is one of the two dominant forces on the Jade Origin Continent, and its sect leader is a sixth-grade supreme expert.

"If you don't leave now, you'll die!"
