Three months later, in Qian Province, three thousand li outside Lingxu Cave Heaven... Lin Ye was currently fleeing in a hurry under pursuit from a Soul Transformation cultivator."You damned little beast... You dared injure ? A re golden core dares raise a hand against ?""What, did you think every one of you was Xia Li?"The Soul Transformation cultivator was furious. Ever since Xia Li slew Mo Ye and the xiao demon almost half a year ago, the state of the world seed to have changed in secret. These prodigies who once hardly dared show themselves had all suddenly beco bold. One or two would have been manageable. But in only half a year, prodigies in every province had begun making trouble. No matter how powerful the Heaven Alliance was, it could not hunt down hundreds or thousands of prodigies at the sa ti. Once its manpower spread thin, even catching one beca difficult. And not every prodigy lacked backing. So had such strong backgrounds that even the Heaven Alliance could not push them too far.It was as if these young geniuses had planned it together. All across the land, they rose up and killed mbers of the Heaven Alliance, exhausting the Alliance so badly it could only draw up a kill list and hunt them one by one according to priority. But the prodigies whose turn had not yet co were no longer foolish enough to sit and watch, waiting for disaster to fall on their own heads. If the Heaven Alliance left them alone, they went looking for trouble with the Heaven Alliance instead. The more the Alliance ignored them, the more outrageous they beca. When the Alliance turned its guns toward them, the targeted prodigies would hide. Then, seeing the pressure on themselves lessen, another group would co out and start causing trouble. A great many notable figures had appeared over the past half year. Lin Ye was one of them.Since he also ca from Lingxu Cave Heaven and had a close relationship with Xia Li, the Heaven Alliance gave him especially "special treatnt.""But you old fossil aren't Mo Ye either!"Lin Ye mocked the old Soul Transformation cultivator while fleeing. After parting ways with Xia Li, Xia Li had gone alone to the wastelands and Manzhou to seek the Dao, while Lin Ye had gone to that dicinal garden and received a major opportunity there as well. The greatest opportunity in the garden had not been the Dragonblood Fruit. In fact, the entire garden had only been a smokescreen. Hidden at its deepest point were the Dragon Martial thod and half a Dragonification Pool, and from there he inherited the Dragon Martial legacy. He had used the Dragonification Pool to achieve Heaven-path Foundation Establishnt and lay down an extraordinary martial foundation. With Dragon Martial in hand and his space affinity strengthened by the space serum Xia Li had given him, his path was now fully ford.From the very start of Foundation Establishnt, he could already slaughter golden core cultivators like dogs. Later, he passed the trial of his greatest opportunity, ford a ninth-rank Great Void Golden Core, and walked through the void as casually as strolling on level ground. He could contend with Nascent Soul cultivators, and even against Soul Transformation he could remain undefeated, even toy with them to so extent. If it were soone like Mo Ye, a Soul Transformation cultivator who had risen from Nascent Soul Pinnacle, Lin Ye might not dare provoke him. But against an ordinary old Soul Transformation cultivator like this one, he could absolutely play around a little."Boy, do you dare fight head-on?"The old cultivator chasing Lin Ye felt nothing but exhaustion. He could not touch Lin Ye even once, yet Lin Ye kept turning around now and then to hit him unexpectedly. The man was so angry he was practically jumping in rage."You're really shaless. As expected of a grand expert of the Heaven Alliance. With only your pitiful Soul Transformation cultivation, you dare challenge a mighty golden core cultivator. The day you beco an immortal, you'll probably dare challenge a three-year-old ancestral child too. Such courage!"Lin Ye mocked him without stopping. The old cultivator said nothing. He rely halted suddenly, grimacing in pain as he pulled out a purple-gold talisman."Little beast, I hadn't wanted to waste this talisman, but since you're determined to die, don't bla !"He activated it, and the talisman turned into a streak of golden light that shot into the void, scrambling the trajectories of space itself. It was a Spatial Chaos Talisman. Unlike a space-locking talisman, a Spatial Chaos Talisman made it so that anyone within a certain area who dared use the Dao of space would suffer backlash from chaotic spatial currents. It had been developed by the Heaven Alliance specifically to deal with prodigies proficient in spatial thods but low in actual cultivation. Prodigies all shared one conspicuous trait: their realms were not high, yet their combat power was terrifying, and their comprehension of heaven and earth far surpassed their peers. But if you could stop them from using those advanced thods and force them into a contest of pure realm and spiritual power, then so-called prodigies beca little more than a joke."Seriously? Can you have so sha? You're already bullying the weak with strength, and you're still using targeted counters?"Lin Ye was not especially afraid of a space-locking talisman, but the Spatial Chaos Talisman was genuinely troubleso. If he used void-stepping again, he would injure himself too. Of course, the other side would also be unable to use spatial thods, but what realm was the other side in?"This is what it ans for a lion to fight a rabbit with full strength!"The old cultivator sneered and lunged at Lin Ye, who now had no choice but to rely on ordinary movent techniques. Lin Ye thought to himself that he had gotten too cocky this ti. Unless he paid a real price, he was probably not getting away. Still, whatever. At worst he would go back and recuperate for a while. Next ti, he would have to be much more careful with people from the Heaven Alliance. Just as he fully circulated his golden core and prepared to force his way through the spatial turbulence to escape, an azure streak of light suddenly tore across the horizon and shot straight toward the old Soul Transformation cultivator.

"Another death-seeking little beast? A re golden core..."The old cultivator sensed that the newcor's aura was only at the golden core stage. Though it was absurdly strong, no weaker than Nascent Soul, golden core was still golden core. When the Heaven Alliance acted, it always aid at least two major realms higher. Why would it ever give prodigies the chance to win by crossing levels? But the next mont... a fist slamd into his protective spirit barrier. The force of the punch penetrated the barrier and struck directly into his body, driving him backward a long distance and nearly knocking him from the sky."You dare injure ... Another golden core who dares injure !""Fine, fine, fine. Did you really think every one of you was Xia Li?""Today, this old man will..."The old cultivator raised a hand, already gathering a divine ability. But the instant he clearly saw Xia Li's face, the divine ability that had been building abruptly withered. Without another word, he turned and fled. This ti, it was no longer a case of "thinking not everyone was Xia Li." Xia Li had really arrived. As the saying went, even a lion fought a rabbit with full strength. When a lion ran for its life, it had to run with even more strength. He admitted he had no confidence in fighting Xia Li, but if he ran, could Xia Li really stop him? Besides, he had already used the Spatial Chaos Talisman. Even if he was not good at space himself, Xia Li would be unable to use it too.The problem was...Xia Li had never been good at the Dao of space in the first place. His speed relied on simple, straightforward physical thrust."Heaven Chip, lock on.""Advance setting, propulsion stage three. Mach twelve."Watching the old cultivator flee farther and farther away, Xia Li rely bent slightly at the waist and clenched his fist. His right-arm prosthetic, Hestia, began charging.[Countdown three seconds. Please prepare for acceleration.][Three, two, one...]Xia Li once more transford into a streak of light and blasted forward. The exhaust flas behind him ford Mach rings so beautiful they were almost pleasing to the eye. The old cultivator was indeed fast. Unfortunately, he was still not faster than Xia Li. Xia Li caught up, smashed through his protective spirit barrier with one punch, and followed imdiately with telekinetic suppression. Even if he could only suppress him for around three seconds, that was enough for Xia Li to kill. Once a cultivator reached golden core, they could manifest a protective spirit barrier. A Soul Transformation cultivator's barrier was naturally even stronger. Even if temporarily broken, it would quickly reform, making it extrely difficult to destroy from the outside. But destroying it from within was much easier.Xia Li grabbed the old cultivator by the jaw with his right-arm prosthetic and forced his mouth open with sheer hand strength.Then...he lifted him high into the air and blasted him at full power with fire, incinerating him from the inside out with intense heat. The old cultivator's whole body convulsed as azure flas burst from his seven orifices and every acupoint in his limbs and torso, lighting the night sky as bright as day. His flesh was destroyed almost instantly. He could only abandon the body and flee with his soul. But did Xia Li really co unprepared? The escaping soul was captured by Xia Li's telekinesis and imdiately torn apart by that overwhelming force until nothing remained. What a pity the Heaven Chip would not let Xia Li study demonic arts. Otherwise he could have devoured the soul and strengthened himself. As things stood, he could only erase it completely. Thus a Soul Transformation cultivator died at Xia Li's hands, cleanly and decisively.The sight left Lin Ye, who had thought he might be able to compete with Xia Li, stunned speechless for a long while. This was golden core? This was fucking golden core? Was this really the sa golden core realm as his? No, brother, he also had a ninth-rank golden core, all right?! Now he finally understood why that man, despite being Soul Transformation, had not even dared fart before turning to run the instant he saw Xia Li. Who wouldn't run in that situation?"Brother Xia... Brother Xia...""No, Brother Xia. You're back."Lin Ye hurried over to Xia Li's side. Noticing that Xia Li's right eye was glowing red in the night, he felt another wave of shock, wondering if Xia Li had fallen into demonic cultivation."Little brother, you're not doing it right. If you're going to fight, then fight. If you can't win, then run cleanly. Why drag him along while mocking him? Aren't you afraid one day you'll play with your own life?""Brother Xia is right to scold . I just wanted to provoke him and see if I could create a miracle like you did."Killing a Soul Transformation cultivator as a golden core, crossing two major realms, had now beco the true battle record all talents under heaven pursued. It seed that only by doing that could one truly be called a prodigy. Xia Li had ushered in an era of prodigy rivalry. And over the past half year... more than ten prodigies had already managed it. It was just that because Xia Li had started it all, he remained the one people spoke of most.
