Leaving Longevity Mountain, Yu Yuan leisurely followed behind a Green Bird riding on the Golden-eyed Five Clouds Camel.

Atop the Green Bird sat a Yun Xiao Fairy in fluttering white clothes, the distant azure sky stretching boundlessly, intermingling with the white clouds, making one feel as though they were in a sea of clouds.

Suddenly, a towering figure burst forth from this "sea," standing proudly above the cloud sea, blocking the path of Yu Yuan and Yun Xiao.

His stature was extremely tall, his skin dark, and his pupils flickered with a piercing cold light.

The newcomer was none other than the king of the Yaksha Clan, whose old name had long been forgotten in the annals of memory, now known by only one name—Yaksha King!

At this moment, Yaksha King stood boldly with his arms crossed in front of his chest, eyes slightly lowered, looking down from above at Yu Yuan and said, "Are you the One Qi Immortal from Jie Sect?"

Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that finally, someone decent had shown up.

He nodded slightly, smiling and asked, "And who might you be, sir?"

Faced with his question, Yaksha King appeared very arrogant, answering indifferently: "When you kneel and beg for mercy, I might graciously tell you."

"Pfft~"

Hearing this, Yu Yuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The Yaksha King's expression darkened slightly, a cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes as he spoke lowly: "Do you find my words amusing?"

"No, no, no…" Yu Yuan shook his head while trying to suppress his laughter, "It's not your words that are funny; it's that you yourself are a joke!"

Continuing, he looked at the Yaksha King somewhat puzzled and spoke: "Someone of your cowardly caliber also dares to spout nonsense before me and make preposterous claims—do all people from the West always act so arrogantly?

Oh, I see, you must have always stayed in the West and never ventured to other continents."

Yaksha King understood the meaning behind his words.

He was mocking him for his narrow view and self-importance!

"Humph! Look who's talking about narrow views," Yaksha King scoffed, "Enough chatter, let us reveal our true capabilities through combat!

Don't think about escaping; you won't get away!"

As his words fell, a handsome young man and a slender youth appeared from the left and right sides.

"You seem well-prepared."

Yun Xiao Fairy spoke softly, who hadn't spoken until then: "However, if you wish to harm my nephew, you must first ask if my Immortal Sword agrees!"

The handsome young man smiled and said, "My lady, please hold, let me have a duel with you!"

With that, he drew a Fangtian Halberd and swung it towards Yun Xiao Fairy.

This handsome youth was none other than Jialouluo, undefeated in the West Sea, who had perfected the Five Elements True Marvel and had profound and unfathomable Dao Xing, and due to his shocking natural lineage, his physical body was equally mighty.

At this moment, he held the Fangtian Halberd tightly, and a terrifying aura burst forth around him instantly, as if he were the lord of heaven and earth looking down on the human world. His towering figure was robust, muscles bulging, adorned with splendid armor, exuding an unstoppable presence.

Simultaneously, Yun Xiao Fairy also revealed a delicate Immortal Sword in her hand, the blade light and pure white, akin to a Cold Pool, exuding a chilling aura.

Jialouluo stomped, the sea of clouds trembled, and the heavens and earth dimmed instantly, dark clouds rolling in to cover the Heavenly Vault, with fierce winds and thunder intermingling.

The Fangtian Halberd transformed into dazzling golden light, piercing and vibrant, slashing towards Yun Xiao Fairy.

The latter's cold eyes flashed, her Immortal Sword maneuvering into a stream of light, colliding with Jialouluo's Fangtian Halberd.

The impact of the collision of these two powerful forces caused the entire heaven and earth to tremble.

Yun Xiao Fairy's figure danced like the wind, incredibly agile, countering Jialouluo's assaults. With lightning speed, she weaved through his attacks as if an invisible wind, sometimes storing energy, sometimes erupting.

Jialouluo remained unshaken, gathering all his strength, wielding the Fangtian Halberd, continuously slashing at Yun Xiao Fairy.

Each swing brought fierce winds and thunder, akin to the explosive force of a volcano, but Yun Xiao Fairy's movements were extraordinarily nimble, using her speed advantage to sometimes cleverly dodge Jialouluo's attacks, and at other times counterattacking with the speed of lightning.

The atmosphere on the battlefield grew increasingly tense, both individuals continuously unleashed their power, and it seemed as if heaven and earth itself could feel the intensity of their fierce duel. The sounds of the Fangtian Halberd and the Immortal Sword clashing continued to resonate.

Jialouluo's offensive was ferocious and rapid, like a dense, fast-paced storm.

However, Yun Xiao Fairy's defense was effortless; her Immortal Sword transformed into a shimmering white dragon that danced around her, not only blocking all attacks but also finding and exploiting her opponent's vulnerabilities to counterattack.

As the two began their magical duel, Yu Yuan, like lightning, suddenly appeared in front of the Yaksha King, swinging a punch towards his cheek.

The latter, a seasoned warrior, reacted extremely fast, immediately retreating to dodge Yu Yuan's punch.

It was evident that although his tone was light, he was always on guard against Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan, missing his initial strike, subconsciously raised his eyebrow slightly.

The opponent's action gave him a familiar strange sensation—underestimating the enemy strategically, but valuing the enemy tactically.

At this moment, the Yaksha King's eyes blazed with battle intent, fists clenched, forming an "X" across his chest, his fists rapidly covered by a layer of black armor plates, with faint golden Dragon Patterns emerging.

The Yaksha King's gaze flickered fiercely and savagely, his gauntlets covered with hard metallic claws, emitting a cold glint. His towering figure was mighty, his dark skin as rough as animal hide, muscles bulging, exuding a chilling presence.

Seeing this, Yu Yuan took an interested second look.

This type of spiritual weapon is still quite rare.

Undoubtedly, the opponent in front of him also followed the path of Ancient Body Cultivation.

"You see it too, don't you?"

The Yaksha King sneered as he looked towards Yu Yuan and said, "Actually, I am just like you, the strength that you possess, I have it too! When the path of body cultivation reaches the pinnacle, all great powers converge within oneself; the strength we can unleash is beyond what those who only rely on the power of heaven and earth, and the might of spiritual treasures can imagine!"

While speaking, his body moved like lightning, stepping forward instantly to Yu Yuan, and with several afterimages, he fiercely attacked Yu Yuan with his fist.

The metal claws on the fist effortlessly tore through the space, revealing a pitch-black dimensional rift.

Above Yu Yuan's head, the Chaos Bell appeared, using the power of this Innate Treasure to teleport away from the spot.

The Yaksha King slightly startled, then scornfully glanced at Yu Yuan, "So you're just another who relies on the power of spiritual treasures!"

"Are you joking?" Yu Yuan retorted impatiently, pointing at the Chaos Bell above his head, "Open your eyes wide and take a good look, do you know what an Innate Treasure is? To have such a glorious treasure and not use it, should I just keep it for decoration?"

Hearing the term "Innate Treasure," a trace of unusual light flashed through the Yaksha King's eyes, then he sneered, "True powerhouses never rely on treasures. Only when one is powerful oneself, is one truly powerful!"

He gazed sharply at Yu Yuan, his fists spinning like a wild whirlwind, delivering an endless barrage of strikes.

Yu Yuan smacked his lips, pretended to be unable to dodge in time, and got struck by the punches.

The claw blade on the Yaksha King's right fist slashed across Yu Yuan's body, ripping his Daoist robe, leaving a blood trail on his skin.

Simultaneously, the metal claw blade snapped into two with a "crack."

In that instant, the Yaksha King's eyes widened unbelievably as he looked at Yu Yuan.

Both being from Ancient Body Cultivation, he knew clearly that a body cultivated to great success would be extremely tough; therefore, he wore that pair of fist wraps made from Dragon Pattern Black Gold, a top-level divine material, specifically to quickly and effectively wound the opponent.

But with this punch, he thought he could rip him open; instead, it merely left a blood mark on his flesh.

This was… almost no damage at all!

As the saying goes, laymen watch the fun, and the insiders watch the details. The Yaksha King, a master of Ancient Body Cultivation, felt his scalp tingle from just a simple collision.

At this moment, only one question remained in his mind — how could Yu Yuan's body be so tough?

Right, it must be a spiritual treasure!

This Yu Yuan was a direct disciple of the third generation of the Jie Sect Saint, surely he possessed many protective spiritual treasures. Just now, it must have been the work of one of those protective spirits causing mischief.

With this thought, the Yaksha King's mind somewhat calmed, and he simply retracted his claw blades and attacked Yu Yuan with his fists alone.

Although the claws were sharp, they also limited the release of his strength; only his fists could allow his divine power to burst out unrestrained.

Any protective spiritual treasure would shatter under his fists!

The Yaksha King had been through countless life-and-death battles; in terms of physical fighting, his strength and skills were nearly unmatched.

Compared to him, Yu Yuan's experience was significantly lacking.

His combat experience primarily came from a battle against the Ying Zhao Demon Saint that lasted two thousand years, which naturally couldn't compare to the Yaksha King, who had been tempered through numerous epochs.

Each of his strikes was swift and fierce, his fists possessed destructive power, and his attacks followed one after another relentlessly.

Yu Yuan did not hurry to counterattack but patiently observed his opponent's movements, sometimes dodging, sometimes counterattacking, treating the entire fight as a learning opportunity.

Perhaps because Yu Yuan controlled his power meticulously, the Yaksha King did not notice anything unusual; he only felt that he had encountered an unprecedentedly formidable opponent.

This gave him a long-missed sense of pressure and made him even more excited.

He was a warrior of the Yaksha Clan accustomed to tempering himself and achieving breakthroughs in battles. Every time he had broken through a bottleneck to reach a higher realm, it had been through challenging a stronger opponent.

Until he could no longer find a suitable opponent...

Now, he felt the opportunity for a breakthrough had come.

As long as he defeated Yu Yuan before him, he might be able to step into an even higher realm.

"Kill!"

Eyes blazing with battle intent, the Yaksha King suddenly unfurled a pair of broad black wings behind him, radiating a fierce and chilling aura. His attacks became even more ferocious, and the air filled with evil Qi, plunging the entire battlefield into a terrifying darkness.

However, by this time, Yu Yuan had already lost interest in continuing the fight.

Because although the opponent's attacks were fierce and swift, they were simply too superficial!

Even though they were fast, to Yu Yuan, they were still meaningless.

Thus, he activated his Blood Burning Mystical Skill, briefly gathering strength before seizing the right moment to launch a punch.

"Boom!"

A thunderous sound made the whole heaven and earth tremble.

The Yaksha King flew out like a cannonball, with only one question in his mind — what kind of strength was this?
