This time, Wang Xu gritted his teeth and endured for two days and nights.

The soul burning has no end; as long as the Fire of Silence exists, and the soul remains, it can continuously scorch.

But Wang Xu's endurance reached its limit after two days.

After resting for several days, Wang Xu began entering a state of cultivation.

Beads of sweat dripped down from Wang Xu, whose bare upper body was now muscular, filled with explosive power.

After another round of soul burning, the benefits had allowed Wang Xu to cultivate the "Red Sun Body Refining Technique" to the Sixth Layer in just half a month.

The Sixth Layer of "Red Sun Body Refining Technique" raised Wang Xu's physical strength to another level.

Yet, despite this, Wang Xu still did not choose to break through to the White Hole Level.

...

Today was the day to receive Primordial Stones and Qi Storage Pills again.

With a hundred pieces of Lower Grade Primordial Stones and three Qi Storage Pills in hand, Wang Xu immediately left and returned to his residence.

"Wait."

Suddenly, a few White Hole Level disciples stood in front of Wang Xu, blocking his way.

Wang Xu glanced over them and found that these people were the Divine Gate disciples who had passed the trial with him initially.

Through some time of cultivation, they had already broken through from Invincible Black Hole Level to Initial White Hole Level.

To ordinary martial artists, this breakthrough speed could indeed be considered genius level.

But within the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect, it was extremely slow; several Black Hole Level disciples from the Venerable Dynasty had already reached the White Hole Level just days after passing the trial.

"Are you Wang Xu?"

The leader was a man with a crack at the corner of his mouth.

His gaze was as sharp as an eagle, staring straight at Wang Xu.

"What's the matter?"

Wang Xu's face was expressionless. He already knew what they wanted; today was the day to claim Primordial Qi and Qi Storage Pills, and their purpose was clearly related to that.

"No need to waste words, hand over all the Primordial Stones and Qi Storage Pills you received, or don't blame us for being ruthless!"

The eagle-eyed man's tone was threatening.

Wang Xu's gaze turned cold as he looked at them.

"Is Ning Haocang the one who sent you?"

Wang Xu suddenly asked.

The eagle-eyed man's eyebrows twitched as he replied, "Just hand over the Primordial Stones and Qi Storage Pills, no need for nonsense!"

Although the eagle-eyed man's expression didn't change much, Wang Xu had already deduced that these people were sent by Ning Haocang to deliberately make things difficult for him.

"As a Mixed Universe Realm disciple, using such means against me, Ning Haocang, is this all you can do?"

Wang Xu spoke aloud, his voice echoing.

"Hmph!"

Soon, a figure in a blue robe leapt out from the shadows, revealing a dark-faced Ning Haocang.

"I've said it, despicable and petty means mean nothing to me, as long as I can trample you underfoot, make you kneel and beg, I will be more than happy to do it."

Ning Haocang's words were venomous, "Your time is running out, wait to be crushed like an ant by me in the end!"

As he spoke, a burst of Primordial Power from the Mixed Universe Realm surged towards Wang Xu.

This assault was exactly the same as what Wang Xu had faced on the day of the trial; Ning Haocang wanted to return Wang Xu to a state of disarray once more.

But Wang Xu now was no longer the same Wang Xu who had just entered the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect.

Boom!

The Primordial Power flooded Wang Xu, kicking up a cloud of dust, even cracking the ground beneath.

The dust was blown away by the wind, and Wang Xu stood unmoved.

What?!

Ning Haocang was shocked.

"Your strength hasn't progressed in the slightest."

Wang Xu gently patted the dust off his body, looking at Ning Haocang with ridicule, causing Ning Haocang's face to twist in anger.

It's only been a few months, and this person progressed so rapidly!

Ning Haocang was astonished by Wang Xu's increase in power, but this only strengthened his resolve to destroy Wang Xu!

"You five, whoever can kill him, I will recommend to the master to enter the 'Seven Luminaries Star Sect'! Additionally, ten pieces of Middle Grade Primordial Stones will be rewarded!"

Upon Ning Haocang's words, the eyes of the five White Hole Level disciples turned red.

Seven Luminaries Star Sect!

The Imperial Extreme Divine Sect has seven major Star Sects, each one is an overwhelming presence above the Venerable Dynasty. To enter a Star Sect, besides having talent beyond geniuses, one must be recommended by a disciple.

Therefore, within the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect, there exists an unwritten rule.

Those not yet part of a Star Sect are called Divine Gate disciples.

Those who join a Star Sect are called Star Sect disciples.

Though there is only a single word difference, the treatment between them is worlds apart.

Star Sect disciples receive guidance from Celestial God Realm mentors, and their monthly stipend is a fortune; they have access to all kinds of natural treasures, and even an average person can attain heights unreachable by ordinary martial artists.

In contrast, a Divine Gate disciple who is not chosen by a Star Sect must strive on their own to slowly grow, and only upon reaching the Mixed Universe Realm can they enter a Star Sect.

But reaching the Mixed Universe Realm from the White Hole Level is immensely challenging; even though these Divine Gate disciples are all geniuses, not even one in ten might reach the Mixed Universe Realm!

"Brothers, kill him on the spot!"

The five White Hole Level disciples went mad, desiring to become Star Sect disciples. Only by becoming Star Sect disciples can they escape the constant fear.

Star Sect disciples are protected by the Star Sect. Each one is valued by the Star Sect, and if killed, the Star Sect will pursue the matter relentlessly.

Divine Gate disciples, however, receive no such intervention, even if killed within the sect.

The opportunity is right before us. As long as we kill Wang Xu, we'll have the chance to become Star Sect disciples!

Ning Haocang sneered coldly, retreating from the battle zone, watching the slaughter from above.

Five initial White Hole level disciples, so what if you're a genius? Today, if you don't die, you'll be rendered useless!

Facing such a lineup, Wang Xu's gaze remained calm, not reaching for the pure White Jade Curved Saber.

Five initial White Hole level Divine Gate disciples.

In terms of real strength, they could match three High Class White Hole levels.

But the current Wang Xu, solely with physical strength, can contend with the strongest White Hole level. If he truly explodes in power, he can even battle invincible White Hole level foes. These clowns before him? They're not even worth one of his hands to kill.

"Die!"

The five of them held nothing back, unleashing the full power of their initial White Hole level abilities.

Their overwhelming attacks completely enveloped Wang Xu.

Vajra Position.

A long cry like an ape's sobbed out, and a massive vajra shadow suddenly emerged over Wang Xu's body, repelling all swords and blades.

Clang clang clang...

With the appearance of the Vajra Position, Wang Xu's physical body reached an unprecedented level of terror. The vajra shadow alone was enough to prevent these disciples from breaking through, let alone harm Wang Xu—it was a fool's dream!

Bam!

Wang Xu made his move.

His attack carried no trace of primordial energy, launched plainly and simply.

"Waa..."

Suddenly, a disciple of initial White Hole level was struck as if by a colossal hammer, flying backward, vomiting several mouthfuls of blood, his chest completely caved in, his expression despairing.

"What?!"

The remaining four were shocked beyond belief.

They were all initial White Hole level disciples, and their strength far exceeded their peers, capable of challenging High Class White Hole levels.

Yet with such strength, they couldn't withstand even one palm strike from Wang Xu?

What a joke!

Bam bam bam!

As they were stunned, Wang Xu delivered three more palm strikes, sending three figures shooting out, leaving a trail of blood in the air.

"Senior Brother Ning!"

Only the hawk-eyed man remained, his expression full of fear as he retreated violently.

"Damn it!"

Ning Haocang's face turned frighteningly dark.

He thought that these five alone could easily handle Wang Xu, and even if they couldn't, he could take some minor actions to kill Wang Xu right there!

But he never expected that these five couldn't even touch Wang Xu, not to mention stop him before they were all quickly decimated!

At this moment, the vajra shadow moved, dashing towards the remaining hawk-eyed man.

"Senior Brother Ning, save me!"

The hawk-eyed man, fully aware of his gap with Wang Xu, realized that once Wang Xu targeted him, he had no chance of survival. His only path was to seek help from Ning Haocang.

Ning Haocang did not act immediately.

The vajra shadow loomed close, and the hawk-eyed man's face filled with despair as Wang Xu clasped him within his hands, blood spattering everywhere, killing him on the spot.

"Wang Xu, you're seeking death!"

Ning Haocang's aura erupted uncontrollably, as he prepared to strike Wang Xu.

"Junior Brother Ning."

At that moment, a soft voice came from the distance, causing Ning Haocang to halt, his expression turning incredibly ugly.

"An Tianyi, it's you again. Are you still a member of our Seven Luminaries Star Sect, standing up for a mere handyman disciple?!"

Ning Haocang fumed with rage.

An Tianyi's presence remained unseen, but his voice echoed across the area.

"Junior Brother Ning, these handyman disciples fall under my jurisdiction, and the higher-ups are watching at all times. If you make a move, I won't be able to explain it to them."

"I refuse to believe that killing a mere handyman disciple would cause the seniors to demand my life as a price!"

Ning Haocang's killing intent surged.

"Junior Brother Ning, the seniors won't interfere in mortal combat between handyman disciples. But if a Star Sect disciple kills them, it violates the iron rules set by the seniors, and such an act would be seen as a provocation. If you're willing to spend a hundred years inside the Cold Ice Prison, I can turn a blind eye."

Cold Ice Prison.

Upon hearing those words, Ning Haocang's body slightly trembled.

The iron rules of the Imperial Extreme Divine Sect are few, but violating them would arouse the wrath of the powers above. Even if they don't kill him, imprisoning him in the Cold Ice Prison... the pain would be unbearable...

Ning Haocang glared viciously at Wang Xu.

I'll claim his life in a year; it's not worth the risk now, nor is it worth a trip to the Cold Ice Prison for him!

"Wang Xu, your good days are numbered, just wait!"

Ning Haocang threw these last words and stormed off in anger.

As Ning Haocang departed, An Tianyi's voice fell completely silent as well.

Only the heavily injured handyman disciples and the corpse of one who was killed by Wang Xu remained at the scene.

A fierce look flashed in Wang Xu's eyes as he acted without hesitation.

The severely injured handyman disciples were killed on the spot by Wang Xu.

However, Wang Xu simply left their bodies behind and departed directly.

As An Tianyi mentioned earlier, Divine Sect's big figures were watching at all times, so Wang Xu could not easily expose You Ji's existence.

Upon returning to his quarters, Wang Xu immediately consumed three Qi Storage Pills and began cultivating in meditation. (To be continued.
