Chen Daoxuan wore a benevolent expression as he gazed at the Ren Family Patriarch, who appeared as if he had seen a ghost. He hadn't expected the Hongmeng Ruler to unleash such tremendous power with a casual swing. He thought that breaking the enemy's formation would be sufficient, but he hadn't anticipated nearly annihilating the Ren Family Patriarch!
Had it not been for the Ren Family Patriarch's use of a secret technique and the absorption of life force from the four senior elders using the Five Elements Formation flag, Chen Daoxuan might have already secured an advantage!
"Old man, don't be in such a hurry to leave. I have a few heartfelt words I'd like to share with you."
Chen Daoxuan's face bore a kind smile as he spoke to the Ren Family Patriarch. As he talked, he casually flicked his fingers, sending a strand of Qi force towards each of the four senior elders who had been drained of vitality.
"Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!"
Four muffled sounds followed. Blood holes appeared on the foreheads of the already-ailing elders, severing their life forces entirely.
Seeing the four individuals, who had been drained of life force, on the verge of death, Chen Daoxuan couldn't afford to dawdle. Those were his coveted system points! If the Ren Family Patriarch died just like that and he didn't receive the reward, it would truly be a loss for him.
After all, each of these four Ren Family senior elders was a formidable expert in the Boundless Realm. Each one was worth over a thousand system points!
As if on cue, a notification from the system echoed in Chen Daoxuan's mind.
[Host has killed a Boundless Realm Fourth Layer expert. Reward: 4000 system points.]
[Host has killed a Boundless Realm Sixth Layer expert. Reward: 6000 system points.]
[Host has killed a Boundless Realm Seventh Layer expert. Reward: 7000 system points.]
[Host has killed a Boundless Realm Eighth Layer expert. Reward: 8000 system points.]
Hearing the consecutive prompts echoing in his mind, Chen Daoxuan's eyes brightened!
Four thousand, six thousand, seven thousand, eight thousand… Combined, he had earned a whopping twenty-five thousand system points!!!
Until now, he had been frugal and hadn't dared to use system points to advance his cultivation. He had only managed to save up four thousand system points. Before Leng Yanran entered the secret realm, he had used a thousand points for action. Now, he had just spent another thousand.
Earlier, Leng Yanran had used a jade pendant to eliminate a small sect, gaining a few hundred system points, but in the end, she had only around two thousand points left! However, after killing the four elders, his system points had surged to over twenty-seven thousand!
This was equivalent to cultivating for twenty-seven thousand years! With this, he could elevate his realm significantly, maybe even to the Profound Sky Realm, and still have seventeen thousand points remaining!
Thinking about this, Chen Daoxuan's smile deepened as he looked at the Ren Family Patriarch. He couldn't help but feel an affectionate connection to the man. Wasn't he just like a dear family member? Parents who provided food and shelter!
Hmm... What realm was the Ren Family Patriarch in? Fourth Layer of the Divinity Separation Realm, wasn't it? Forty thousand!!!
"Hiss… Old man, I really don't know how to thank the Ren Family enough. The best I can do is ensure your family stays together, that no one is left behind."
Chen Daoxuan felt a surge of excitement from the sudden influx of over ten thousand system points. In full view of everyone, he wore a kind expression, patting the Ren Family Patriarch's shoulder. If someone unaware of the situation witnessed this scene, they might think they were close friends!
"What... What do you want? As long as you spare me, I'll surrender all of the Ren Family's resources when I return. The entire Ren Family will follow your orders. Please, let me off!"
The Ren Family Patriarch was trembling all over. He had never imagined that one day, with his Fourth Layer of the Divinity Separation Realm cultivation, he would fall in the Northern Domain. Facing the seemingly Initial Sea Realm youth before him, he dared not even guess at the youth's true strength!
Only when directly confronted by Chen Daoxuan's single ruler could he understand that Chen Daoxuan was an existence that couldn't be matched by mere mortals! The trembling Ren Family Patriarch, under the astonished gazes of onlookers, began to beg for mercy!
"This world must have gone mad… Even an expert of the Divinity Separation Realm can have such an aspect."
"Hiss... Does that mean that Leng Yanran's this master, is even stronger than an expert of the Divinity Separation Realm? Doesn't that mean that our Northern Domain can hold its head high in the future?"
Numerous forces in the Northern Domain were temporarily unable to accept this truth. In their perception, the Annihilation Realm was already the limit. As for the Boundless Realm, it was rare for outsiders from other regions to encounter it. The Divinity Separation Realm was almost unheard of for most of them.
"Yan'er... There's a question this palace master wants to ask you. Have you offended that person's disciple? Disregarding her humiliation towards you, have you done anything to offend her?"
The Lord of the Xiaoyao Palace, after a moment of daze, looked at Wang Yan who was in a miserable state and quietly inquired.
"No... No! Disciple doesn't have the ability to do that!"
Wang Yan shook his head like a rattle drum. Ignoring the pain in his body, he quickly explained.
"Phew… Alright, that's good then, that's good." The Lord of the Xiaoyao Palace, upon hearing this, discreetly dissipated the accumulated energy in his palm behind his back.
The Ren Family was like a flock of chicks in that person's hands. If it were the Xiaoyao Palace, the outcome wouldn't have been much better!
Poor Wang Yan, unknowingly, had once again experienced a close brush with death…
"A master of the Void Refining Realm..." The three elders of the Holy Mountain gazed at Chen Daoxuan in shock. That someone like the Ren Family Patriarch, who was at the Fourth Layer of the Divinity Separation Realm, was helpless even with the Five Elements Formation flag, indicated that he had transcended the bottleneck of the Divinity Separation Realm.
The Void Refining Realm – even in the Eastern Domain, only some reclusive old monsters could achieve it, and it was rare to see them in the open. For most of the Northern Domain's forces present, this was their first time witnessing a living expert of the Void Refining Realm. Not to mention the realm beyond the Void Refining Realm, of which more than ninety percent of them had no knowledge whatsoever – they had never even heard of it!
"Pl-please, I beg you, I'm willing to make a solemn pledge to the heavens, and I'll always look up to you as my leader! Whatever you want to do is fine!"
The Ren Family Patriarch, seeing Chen Daoxuan staring at him without responding, his eyes showing a hint of excitement, his heart grew even more frantic. He opened his mouth again, begging for mercy!
"Old man, what kind of talk is this? Didn't I tell you? I, you know, just wanted to have a heartfelt chat with you."
Chen Daoxuan chuckled heartily, genuinely happy. All his previous discontent disappeared with the arrival of the system points!
"Alright, alright, whatever you want to talk about is fine. I have no idea what you want to discuss."
The Ren Family Patriarch, who was already heavily injured, immediately agreed to Chen Daoxuan's words, his voice trembling.
"Ugh! Y-you... What's in your hand?"
But as soon as he agreed, he felt a pain in his chest. He widened his eyes and discovered in Chen Daoxuan's hand… an additional, faintly pulsating heart!
