Two Wang Xu!

Everyone present widened their eyes in disbelief as the identically cloaked figure exuded the same life aura, making it impossible to tell any difference.

"Kid, you've actually used the 'Formless Sacred Image'?"

You Ji, within his body, found it hard to believe as well.

The 'Formless Sacred Image' is the secret scripture of the Immortal Saint Venerable, and though Wang Xu had comprehended it once, it was deeply ingrained in his mind.

However, due to his current power realm, being only at the Star Level, it was incredibly difficult for him to unleash it.

Yet, under immense pressure, Wang Xu surprisingly succeeded in manifesting it.

Sword River!

Wang Xu and Wang Xu's clone struck simultaneously.

Although the clone only possessed half of Wang Xu's strength, it was enough to handle a third-class Earth Level martial artist.

This greatly reduced the pressure on Wang Xu, instantly altering the battle's dynamics.

Bang!

What?!

The Earth Level martial artist from the Feng Family spat out a mouthful of blood in terror, his hand trembling and letting go of the long spear, which plunged into the ground, shaking precariously.

Without the combined resistance of four Earth Level martial artists, there was no stopping Wang Xu's strike.

Without the spear, the Earth Level martial artist was like a tiger without teeth, his combat power severely diminished.

Wang Xu charged in directly.

Slash—

With a diagonal slash, the Earth Level martial artist from the Feng Family tried to dodge desperately, but a menacing wound was still carved into his abdomen.

At this moment, another Dragon Carved Saber followed closely.

This Dragon Carved Saber was condensed from the Heaven and Earth Primordial Power; it lacked the presence of a genuine Primordial Power weapon, but was effortlessly effective against an unarmed and severely injured Earth Level martial artist.

"Feng Lao!"

The crowd exclaimed in horror.

Blood splattered, and Feng Lao's chest was pierced, the blood-stained Dragon Carved Saber thrust through his heart.

Feng Lao's mouth filled with blood, his gaze instantly dimmed, his mouth opening and closing as if wanting to say something, but unable to utter a word.

However, from his terrified eyes, it was clear he felt unwilling, full of regret.

With Feng Lao's death, nameless flames instantly surged from Wang Xu's body, enveloping his corpse entirely.

In just a brief moment, Feng Lao's body vanished without a trace, not even a drop of blood remained.

Fear spread through everyone's hearts. What kind of method was this?

It could silently refine a person completely; if these flames fell on them, would they have any power to resist?

Boom~~

The flames returned to Wang Xu's body, and surging primordial power burst forth, causing Wang Xu's aura to rise dramatically.

Wang Xu's cold gaze swept over, waving the Dragon Carved Saber in hand, charging forward once again!

As Wang Xu's strength increased, his clone's strength improved as well.

Slash!

Immediately following, Wang Xu's clone mercilessly slaughtered the Earth Level martial artist from the Zhuo Family, the river-like saber light pouring down furiously, the terrifying power blasting the Zhuo Family's Earth Level martial artist away.

The Earth Level martial artist from the Zhuo Family fell to the ground, vomiting several mouthfuls of blood, finally losing all strength and succumbing completely to death.

"Zhuo... Zhuo Lao!"

The Earth Level martial artist from the Lin Family hadn't even had time to cry out when his body stiffened, a blood arrow spurting from his back.

His eyes showed an unwillingness, but ultimately, he couldn't resist the passage of life, collapsing on the ground, convulsing and struggling, entirely lifeless.

Swoosh!

The flames split into two, rushing towards Zhuo Lao and Lin Lao, engulfing their corpses in fire.

The strength of both Wang Xu and his clone continued to rise.

"No... no! We have to escape quickly!"

Having witnessed the simultaneous deaths of three Earth Level martial artists, the remaining ones could no longer remain calm, shouting in terror.

But no matter how fast they tried to escape, how could they possibly be faster than Wang Xu, who had reached the Second-Class Earth Level?

Wang Xu and his clone exchanged a glance, splitting into two routes to pursue.

"They're dead! He killed all the Earth Level martial artists of the Four Families!"

"My heavens, four Earth Level martial artists couldn't defeat him! And who is that figure identical to him?"

"The Flame Fire Main City is about to change completely. Go back and immediately sever all ties with the Four Families, from now on there are no Four Families in Flame Fire Main City!"

In just a brief moment, before many martial artists could even react, three out of four Earth Level martial artists from the Four Families were dead, and the remaining one was merely on the brink of death, survival being a matter of time.

The terrifying strength of Wang Xu etched an indelible impression on the minds of all martial artists present.

At this moment, in their eyes, Wang Xu was a devil, a God of Slaughter from Hell, his entire aura brimming with murderous intent, his longsword stained with blood, evoking fear just by the sight of him.

"He... He actually killed four Earth Level martial artists!"

The shock was written all over City Lord Yan's face. When the last Earth Level martial artist had his head sliced off by Wang Xu, with his lifeless body falling, Yan's hand trembled, unable to restrain himself, and he cried out in astonishment.

The strength of these four Earth Level martial artists was something Yan Xi, who had been the city lord for so many years, knew more than anyone.

Had it not been for the infighting among these four Earth Level martial artists, his position as city lord would have long been taken by someone else.

Now, with all four dead, alongside his shock, Yan Xi was overwhelmingly excited.

"Haha... Wang Xu, this feast is truly sumptuous this time, I won't be polite, I'll take it all!"

You Ji laughed heartily, devouring the Earth Level martial artists, not sparing a few Mortal Level Ninth Layer patriarchs slain by his clone, consuming them completely.

Wang Xu sat down cross-legged, and as the flame returned to his body, a surge of boundless Heaven and Earth Primordial Power rushed over.

Boom~~~

A blast of air, capable of flipping a thousand-pound boulder, spread out, causing the ground Wang Xu sat on to sink significantly, pulverizing everything within a radius of ten meters.

The aura from Wang Xu's body frantically soared.

"He's advancing!"

Yan Xi was aghast.

There isn't a single First Class Earth Level martial artist within the Flame Fire Main City, a mere martial artist from Qingfeng Village reaching such heights was unbelievable!

Not only did Yan Xi notice this, but all the other martial artists could also feel Wang Xu's aura becoming increasingly oppressive.

Third Class, Second Class, First Class, the span might not seem large, but every class leap is immensely substantial.

If a Second Class Earth Level martial artist could make a Mortal Level Ninth Layer martial artist break out in a cold sweat, shivering with fear, then a First Class Earth Level martial artist's aura alone could make them kneel.

Boom!

At that moment, the collapsed Furnace Tower was uplifted by the airwave, dust rippling out like waves.

Wang Xu opened his eyes and stood up slowly, akin to a War God, inspiring a frenzy of admiration.

Successfully breaking through to a First Class Earth Level martial artist, the oppression from the heavens and earth slackened once more, and Wang Xu's strength soared.

Suddenly, a large chunk of information appeared in Wang Xu's mind.

"Hehe, this is yours. I've re-combined and re-compiled their martial techniques, this is a high-level physical martial technique, 'Golden Spirit Scripture'."

You Ji lazily said within Wang Xu's body.

"Why is it a physical martial technique?"

Wang Xu frowned, his current martial art was only one — "Sword River", and he had perfected it.

Yet as refined as "Sword River" might be, it was ultimately just a low-level martial technique, unable to compare with high-level ones.

"Haven't you noticed? I've already enhanced the grade of 'Sword River' and altered most of its cultivation methods, it's now become a high-level martial technique!"

Wang Xu delved into his mind to check, and indeed, the elaboration of "Sword River" had changed, becoming even more powerful than before.

Then, disregarding the gazes of many martial artists, Wang Xu turned into a streak of white light and flew away.

He needed to find a quiet place to stabilize his realm and to comprehend the new "Sword River".

......

Five days later.

Wang Xu stabilized his realm and began cultivating "Sword River".

At the same time, he also began cultivating the physical martial technique "Golden Spirit Scripture".

According to You Ji, physical martial techniques are what Wang Xu should indeed be practicing.

Wang Xu did not have monstrous comprehension, nor heaven-defying cultivation talent, his sole advantage was having the Fire of Silence, providing him with endless Heaven and Earth Primordial Power.

Physical martial techniques, incidentally, are major consumers of Heaven and Earth Primordial Power.

In the eyes of other martial artists, physical martial techniques are at most for strengthening the body, making it tougher.

Because once a physical martial technique is executed, it means the Primordial Power within will be rapidly consumed, often leaving it depleted within ten seconds.

As a result, very few are willing to practice physical martial techniques, preferring to devote significant time and energy to offensive martial techniques.

Wang Xu possesses a vast reserve of Primordial Power, allowing him to maintain a physical martial technique during battle continually.

A tremendously strengthened physical capability, sufficient to offset most damage, keeping a physical martial technique active all the time equates to Wang Xu wearing an indestructible Imperial Armor, greatly enhancing his odds in battle.

"'Golden Spirit Scripture' can forge the body into something as hard as golden stone, capable of rivaling high-level Primordial Power weapons if perfected."

The "Golden Spirit Scripture" greatly aids the physical form, and upon glancing at it, Wang Xu immediately decided to cultivate it.

However, wanting to cultivate a physical martial technique is not that simple and requires innate conditions.

"Ten Sun-Eroding Flowers, ten Stalks of Ruo Bing Grass, thirty Profound Yuan Roots..."

You Ji provided Wang Xu with a list, densely written with at least a hundred kinds of herbs.

"Gather all these herbs, that way you can change your current body constitution. Tsk tsk tsk... Your cultivation aptitude was already mediocre, and I didn't expect your body constitution to be so poor either, considering I had a good feast thanks to you, I'll lend you a hand without charge!"

As You Ji said, Wang Xu's cultivation aptitude and body constitution were both quite poor.

Previously, Wang Xu relied on devouring Flame Devouring Insect Beasts and Star Giant Beasts to forcibly forge his body, which allowed him to have a Celestial God Realm-level body at the White Hole Level.

But amidst the chaos, the harsh oppression of the heavens and earth prevented Wang Xu from continuously accumulating strength and eventually exploding like he used to.

Wang Xu had no choice but to re-enter the Flame Fire Main City to purchase the materials on the list.

Slightly restraining his aura, Wang Xu traversed the streets of the Flame Fire Main City.

Compared to before, the Flame Fire Main City had become incredibly desolate. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
