The aura of the Celestial Level demon beast was identical to the aura of the Celestial Level martial artist Wang Xu had sensed before.

With fiery red fur like flames and a back bristling with bone spurs, the gigantic Fire Tiger charged through the forest like a towering building, crashing through trees along its path.

A crack opened slightly on its forehead, and the Mechanical Ancient Eye activated.

Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger

Realm: Initial Stage Celestial Level Demon Beast

Type: Demon Beast

Attack Method: Spits Illusory Fire, Flaming Tiger Claw

Weakness: Eyes

......

Instantly discerning all the information about this Celestial Level demon beast, Wang Xu grasped its every detail.

"Calculate the method to kill it."

A large chunk of his spiritual consciousness disappeared instantly, and immediately, arcs and trajectories appeared before Wang Xu, with all values lined up.

Wang Xu memorized every image and step given, then closed the Mechanical Ancient Eye.

He wiped the fresh blood off his blade, then launched himself violently towards the Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger!

The Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger, possessing intelligence comparable to humans, noticed Wang Xu was merely an Earth Level martial artist, and a human-like sneer appeared on its tiger face.

To it, this human was incredibly foolish, trying to oppose it with just an Earth Level realm was practically suicidal.

Immediately, the Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger couldn't even be bothered to spit illusory fire, it pounced forward, its paw raised for a strike.

The force of a claw from a Celestial Level demon beast was enough to blow surrounding trees apart; if hit directly, even a Celestial Level martial artist would be injured.

"Shift three steps."

Following the Mechanical Ancient Eye's instructions, Wang Xu shifted horizontally three steps just as the tiger's claw was about to fall.

Swoosh!

The fierce tiger claw nearly grazed past Wang Xu, the sharp spikes barely more than ten centimeters away from him.

Successfully dodging the tiger claw, Wang Xu's figure erupted with power once more, surging up almost instantaneously above the tiger's head.

River Blade Strike!

The blade light like river water poured down, aimed straight at the Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger's eye.

Roar!

What seemed to be a certain hit was surprisingly evaded, the Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger roared angrily.

Yet when it realized Wang Xu was targeting its eyes, it let out an uncontrollable roar of fury.

Clang!

In the final moment, the Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger tightly shut its eyelids.

The Celestial Level demon beast's reaction was ultimately faster than Wang Xu's blade light.

Unable to achieve his strike, Wang Xu's form immediately retreated.

The Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger, however, was relentless; Wang Xu had provoked its true rage. As a Celestial Level demon beast, it held pride and dignity, and failing to kill Wang Xu right away was a great humiliation!

Relying on the Mechanical Ancient Eye's analysis, Wang Xu narrowly dodged the frenzied attacks of the Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger.

"Analyze attack path."

Wang Xu reopened the Mechanical Ancient Eye.

"Calculate a method to kill the Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger with my strength."

As soon as the thought arose, Wang Xu's head was hit with a dizzy spell.

Clearly, this kind of calculation exceeded the capacity of the Mechanical Ancient Eye.

Earth Level killing Celestial Level, such realm-crossing combat is difficult without equivalent strength; how could one possibly kill when lacking in power, defense, and speed?

Bearing the buzzing and dizziness in his head, Wang Xu continued supporting the calculations of the Mechanical Ancient Eye.

Bam!

However, being distracted by calculating the killing method, Wang Xu could no longer evade the Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger's attack and was sent flying by a paw strike.

He coughed up several mouthfuls of fresh blood, his flesh and bones nearly shattering.

Thanks to the Fourth Layer of the "Golden Spirit Scripture," Wang Xu wasn't crushed into pulp on the spot.

He immediately took a Qi Blood Pill, which still had the effect of restoring Qi and blood.

A strike from a Celestial Level demon beast was terrifying, the gap between Earth Level and Celestial Level hard to bridge.

At this moment, the scene before Wang Xu suddenly changed.

All the attack routes calculated by numerical value, the movement paths of the Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger, were fully revealed.

Wang Xu instantly engraved this scene in his mind, closing the Mechanical Ancient Eye.

Without the Mechanical Ancient Eye's consumption, Wang Xu's complexion improved somewhat.

The Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger seized upon Wang Xu's lapse, injuring him, and naturally wouldn't give up, attacking him again.

"Move three steps to the left, take one step forward, and surge up ten meters!"

Following the calculated trajectory of the Mechanical Ancient Eye, Wang Xu shifted his steps and changed form, dodging the strike of the Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger, while simultaneously arriving atop its head!

River Blade Strike!

Once more, Wang Xu attacked the Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger's eye.

However, the Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger, already wary of Wang Xu, naturally reacted in the shortest time, closing its eyes.

At this moment, Wang Xu's blade subtly adjusted, aligning with the slit of the Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger's eye.

To anyone else, even hitting this slit would be useless.

Yet the tip of the blade strangely trembled again and again, miraculously prying open the eye slit, directly stabbing into the eye!

Roar!!!!!!

A furious bellow shook the earth, blood flowed from the Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger's eye as it wildly swung its claws, causing the ground to tremble violently.

Swoosh~~~~

Illusory fire shot out, and the Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger, having lost an eye, appeared berserk, burning wildly.

Wang Xu dodged the illusory fire, approached again, blinding its other eye as well.

Completely blind, the Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger flailed like a headless fly, despite its Celestial Level might, unable to harm Wang Xu in the slightest.

At the same time, as its fatal weakness was pierced by Wang Xu, its life force kept dwindling.

The strength of the Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger continuously declined. Originally, even Wang Xu's full-strength strike could not leave the slightest mark on its body, but it gradually weakened until Wang Xu sliced off its head, turning it into a soul claimed by his blade.

"Wang Xu, prepare to make a fire and boil water!"

The Fire of Silence burst forth, enshrouding the corpse of the Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger and voraciously consuming it. "This Celestial Level Demon Beast is excellent material, ideal for nurturing your body. If you wish to cultivate the Fifth Layer of the Golden Spirit Scripture, hurry and do as I say!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xu immediately hollowed out a large rock, forming it into a cauldron, and fetched water from the nearest lake to boil it directly.

"The Gale Illusionary Flame Tiger has just died; the blood essence within has not completely cooled, it's an enormous supplement for you. Quickly, get into the water!"

Wang Xu entered the boiling water, adding a few spirit medicines, and the Fire of Silence surged back into his body.

Instantly, a vast torrent of primordial qi was frantically absorbed. If the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in Wang Xu's body was akin to a small stream, then the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi inside the Celestial Level Demon Beast was indeed an entire pool!

The medicinal power seeped into Wang Xu's body, and he began cultivating the Golden Spirit Scripture.

Wang Xu's skin shimmered with a dark golden hue. At this moment, as the Golden Spirit Scripture evolved, his skin began to radiate, the dark golden glow becoming increasingly dazzling.

One day and night later.

Bang!

The stone cauldron shattered, and a figure akin to being forged from gold slowly stood up.

The Fifth Layer of the Golden Spirit Scripture had been achieved!

At this moment, Wang Xu could clearly sense the transformation of his flesh.

The meat and blood of the Fifth Layer had completely surpassed the Earth Level, reaching a degree comparable to Celestial Level martial artists.

Relying solely on his physical body, Wang Xu could rival a Celestial Level martial artist!

Of course, the wonders of the Golden Spirit Scripture didn't end here.

While the body underwent metamorphosis, the spiritual consciousness in his mind surged dramatically.

"Open eye!"

Wang Xu activated the Mechanical Ancient Eye, counting the time silently.

Ultimately, it reached a full sixty-three seconds before an alert sounded in his mind.

The usage time doubled completely!

"Wang Xu, you can start breaking through to the Celestial Level directly."

You Ji reminded him.

"No problem, I want to settle a score with someone first."

Wang Xu's tone was indifferent.

The person he sought was naturally Senior Brother Yi Long behind Bi Qi.

He believed that relying solely on Bi Qi, a Third Class Earth Level martial artist, couldn't possibly cause him trouble with the Affairs Hall. Only Yi Long, the senior brother behind Bi Qi, possessed such power.

Clad in a black robe, Wang Xu soared into the air, flying towards Ya Sang.

...

"Shiiing!"

A cold light flickered, and blood splattered; a formidable Sixth Layer Mortal Level beast met its end instantly.

Ya Sang wielded a long sword, her eyes cold as she retreated while watching the Sixth Layer Mortal Level beast inching closer.

At this moment, though Ya Sang was also Sixth Layer Mortal Level, she already possessed the capability to slay such a beast single-handedly.

Walking the line between life and death helped Ya Sang unlock her potential.

This kind of life-and-death tempering was unmanageable for ordinary people.

Because they lacked ties and motivation; once faced with certain death, they would immediately lose their composure.

But Ya Sang was different. Wang Xu's silhouette was imprinted in her heart, and every word he had ever spoken resonated within her mind, unleashing unimaginable potential when faced with death.

Woo...

Suddenly, the gaze of the Sixth Layer Mortal Level beast changed, and it let out a fearful whimper of terror.

Thud!

Its head suddenly tilted, life force gone, and it fell lifelessly to the ground.

A figure cloaked in black appeared before Ya Sang.

"Wang Xu!"

Ya Sang's cold, murderous demeanor melted like thawing ice and snow, becoming gentle, her smile brilliant.

"This is the advanced level of Sword River, you can begin to cultivate it."

Wang Xu explained the advanced level of Sword River to Ya Sang.

"Got it, I'll remember."

With strength enhancement, a martial artist's memory also improves accordingly.

"You've been tempering yourself continuously for a month; it's time to return."

Ya Sang's eyes lit up.

In the Wu Cang Mountain Range, constantly on guard, Ya Sang hadn't slept a complete night's sleep, let alone bathed.

However, her expression quickly turned tense.

"Wang Xu, you killed Senior Brother Bi Qi. If we return to the Sect and someone asks, what should we say?"

Killing fellow disciples was a capital offense, and once discovered, Wang Xu would face relentless pursuit.

"Without evidence, their questioning would be futile."

Wang Xu replied indifferently.

Then, Wang Xu took Ya Sang and soared into the air, heading toward the Sect.

Just as they were about to approach the Sect, suddenly, a streak of white light flew from afar, blocking Wang Xu's path.

"Did you two just come out of the Wu Cang Mountain Range?"

The yellow-robed middle-aged man asked, frowning.

"Yes."

Wang Xu answered calmly.

"I now suspect you of killing fellow disciples; come with me immediately to the Execution Hall!"

A celestial-level martial artist's aura erupted from the yellow-robed middle-aged man, his gaze turning extremely sharp. (To be continued.
