Eternal Blood Emperor-Chapter 440: Arrival at the Holy City

"Boom, boom..."

Amidst the explosions resonating, there followed several muffled groans, and then everyone saw the figures of Liu Jian, Yin Fei, Zhuo Xue, and Cao Shimin being blasted back, tumbling in retreat.

Blood spurted from their mouths, and in the end, each of them heavily fell to the ground, appearing extremely disheveled.

However, Wang Ruoxie and Xiao Ningyue didn’t deliver fatal blows to them; otherwise, how could these five have any life left?

It wasn’t that they were afraid to kill, but they had just arrived at the Canglan Sacred Domain, and unless necessary, it was unwise to provoke too much trouble.

Although given their current cultivation power, it was nearly impossible to find anyone in the Celestial Monarch Realm who could threaten them, in this Canglan Sacred Domain, the Celestial Monarch Realm was just the most ordinary level of martial cultivator.

Above the Celestial Monarch Realm, there were the Celestial Emperor Realm, the Celestial Venerable Realm, and even the Divine Human Realm.

These five were the offspring of influential families from Xingwu City. If they were all killed, it was highly likely that a Celestial Monarch elder or above would seek revenge, and then it would be very troublesome.

"If you don’t want to die, hand over your Profound Technique Fragments."

Wang Ruoxie stepped forward to stand in front of Qiao Tianheng and the others, speaking coldly.

Even if he couldn’t kill them, he had to make them pay some price. Coincidentally, they had just arrived at the Canglan Sacred Domain and had no Profound Technique Fragments, so he decided to take the fragments from these five first.

Feeling the chilling murderous intent emanating from Wang Ruoxie, Qiao Tianheng and the others shuddered in fear, not daring to hesitate, and quickly handed over their Profound Technique Fragments to Wang Ruoxie.

"So these are Profound Technique Fragments?"

Wang Ruoxie glanced at the over a hundred stone-like items in his hand, revealing a look of surprise in his eyes.

He could feel various Profound Technique fluctuations from these thumb-sized stones, which shone with different colors of light. Evidently, these stones were indeed Profound Technique Fragments.

"We shouldn’t linger here; let’s go."

Turning his gaze, Wang Ruoxie said to Xiao Ningyue, who nodded in response, and the two of them left the Junyue Inn without delay, flying toward the direction of the Holy City at full speed.

After the two left, everyone finally snapped out of the shock from the earlier scene.

"These two might be disciples of some superpower; it’s unbelievable that they can challenge multiple smaller realms within the Celestial Monarch Realm." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

People were filled with awe, initially assuming that these two, like Qiao Tianheng and his group, were from some remote and wild place, or else how could they not possess even a single Profound Technique Fragment?

But now, they were speculating that these two were likely talented disciples from some superpower.

It was known that Qiao Tianheng and his companions were gifted powerhouses capable of overcoming higher levels, yet those two, whose cultivation was inferior, defeated them with ease.

This was enough to show that the aptitude and strength of these two far exceeded those of Qiao Tianheng and his group.

Of course, the speculation wasn’t wrong; indeed, Wang Ruoxie and Xiao Ningyue were considered disciples of a superpower, as they had plans to join one of the three superpowers in the Holy City, the Profound Lady Sect.

"What should we do now?"

Wiping the blood from their mouths, Liu Jian, Yin Fei, Zhuo Xue, and Cao Shimin all turned their gaze toward Qiao Tianheng.

"Judging by the direction they left, they seem to be heading to the Holy City. We need to return to our sect anyway. Once we’re back in the Holy City, it won’t be too late to teach them a lesson."

A fierce expression flashed in Qiao Tianheng’s eyes as he spoke.

They, five strong and capable individuals, had been easily defeated by two whose cultivation was far below theirs and even had their Profound Technique Fragments robbed; if this spread, they would become the laughingstock of the entire Xingwu City.

Such humiliation was unbearable, and they vowed to repay it a hundredfold, even a thousandfold.

...

In the void, two figures were flying rapidly.

"Ningyue, you take these Profound Technique Fragments. Once refined, your cultivation power will surely see significant improvement."

Sorting the over a hundred Profound Technique Fragments he obtained from Qiao Tianheng and his group, Wang Ruoxie handed over those with Yin Cold attributes to Xiao Ningyue.

Xiao Ningyue readily accepted, taking these dozens of Yin Cold attribute Profound Technique Fragments.

"With these Profound Technique Fragments, my cultivation could at least advance to the middle stage of the Celestial Monarch Realm."

She smiled at Wang Ruoxie and said.

After breaking through to the Celestial Monarch Realm, a martial cultivator must continuously comprehend Profound Techniques to further enhance cultivation power.

For instance, Xiao Ningyue needed to continuously comprehend Yin Cold attribute Profound Techniques to continue advancing her cultivation after cultivating the Taiyin Heart Scripture, an extremely Yin and Cold scripture, and inheriting the Third Grade Divine Technique, Cold Jade Technique, from Divine Yao Xin.

These Yin Cold attribute Profound Technique Fragments could naturally rapidly boost her cultivation power.

As for other attributes of Profound Technique Fragments, she wouldn’t be able to use them.

Wang Ruoxie, on the other hand, was different. He had not only comprehended the Thunder Sword Soul but also possessed the Five Elements Spiritual Body and cultivated the Nine Transformation Primordial Scripture. Therefore, he could refine any attribute of Profound Technique Fragments to enhance his cultivation power.

This indeed was a tremendous advantage for his rise in the Canglan Sacred Domain. Of course, his greatest advantage was still his heaven-defying ability to devour essence blood and bloodline power to directly enhance his cultivation power.

Then, Wang Ruoxie took out the Soul Boat, and the two of them landed on it.

Though now the Soul Boat’s speed seemed quite slow to them, and even slower than flying by themselves, it allowed them to continue refining the Profound Technique Fragments while progressing forward.

After several months, they finally arrived outside the Holy City.

Through these months of cultivation, they had thoroughly refined all the Profound Technique Fragments, and their cultivation power had significantly improved.

Wang Ruoxie’s cultivation advanced directly from the fifth layer to the seventh layer of the Celestial Monarch Realm, reaching the late stage of the Celestial Monarch Realm.

Xiao Ningyue saw even greater progress, advancing directly from the third layer to the sixth layer of the Celestial Monarch Realm, crossing three smaller realms.

With their current capabilities, they were likely unmatched in the Celestial Monarch Realm.

Unless they encountered extremely powerful near-Celestial Emperor beings, no one could pose a threat to them.

Wang Ruoxie and Xiao Ningyue descended to the ground, looking ahead to see an immeasurably vast and ancient city.

The city walls, towering thousands of feet high, stood between heaven and earth, covered with countless ancient runes.

Wang Ruoxie could sense a terrifying aura emanating from these walls, one that even a Celestial Venerable or Divine Human Realm existence might struggle to easily destroy.

It was said that this Holy City was broader than an ordinary Small Thousand World, with a population exceeding ten billion, almost entirely martial cultivators.

One must know, the number of forces, large and small, in the Holy City was countless, and survival here indicated a significant level of cultivation power.

Without hesitation, they stepped forward, heading into the Holy City.

"Stop."

Suddenly, a cold shout came.
