Martial Defiance Across Nine Thousand Realms

"The ancient Martial Tomb, this kid is truly blessed with immense fortune!"

"This is the tomb left by the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, the Nine Nether King, from three thousand years ago. If one could obtain the Sun Moon Universe Technique, it would be a heaven-sent opportunity that pierces the skies and the earth."

A woman's voice kept coming through, as if she was talking to herself.

At the end, the woman spoke again, "I wonder how senior sister Yin's mission is progressing?"

"Given this kid's rate of transformation, when the three months are up, isn't he likely to step into the Qi Explosion Realm? Once senior sister Yin gets the Nine Yang Fire Jade, I should suppress Ye Han sooner rather than later, or even take care of him for good."

Ye Han heard every word of this string of murmurs.

About forty breaths later, Ye Han saw a woman in a pink robe entering the area.

"Help... Help me!"

"Is there a brother from the Academy who can save me?"

The woman appeared in a state of panic, hurrying as if she had encountered some great terror.

Upon seeing Ye Han, she was overjoyed, "Brother, please save me."

"Hmm?"

Ye Han looked at the woman, "Who are you?"

"My name is Wang Rong, an Outer Sect disciple of the Academy. I came to the Netherworld Realm for training and didn't expect to be chased by several Qi Explosion Realm demons." The woman spoke, appearing extremely fragile.

"So, you're senior sister Wang Rong."

Ye Han nodded, "Don't worry, within this Martial Tomb, demons cannot enter, and all the top Monster Beasts outside have been killed. It's safe for now."

"Mhm!"

The woman who called herself Wang Rong quickly responded, seemingly much more relaxed.

During their conversation, her eyes were suddenly drawn to the pool where Ye Han was.

"Is this Earth Spirit Milk?"

Wang Rong's pupils shone with a dazzling light.

"Oh? Senior sister Wang recognizes this Earth Spirit Milk?" Ye Han watched her closely.

"Of course!"

"This is a treasure. I once had the fortune to see a drop and felt its essence, but such a precious thing is not something I'm qualified to obtain," Wang Rong said pitifully.

"Since senior sister Wang has come here, it must be fate. After I cleanse my marrow and transform my veins, why don't you enjoy the cleansing of the Earth Spirit Milk?" Ye Han looked at her sincerely.

"Really? That's great."

Wang Rong's smile bloomed like a flower, and in a moment, her eyes turned seductive, and she shyly glanced at Ye Han, "Then, you mustn't peek when it's my turn, junior brother."

"By the way, how may I address you, junior brother?" Wang Rong asked again.

"Ye Han!"

Ye Han uttered his name, then closed his eyes slightly and began to cultivate earnestly.

If one had been observing from the start, they would have noticed that over time, the luminescence of the liquid in the pool was fading and diminishing.

Half an hour after Wang Rong's arrival, Ye Han's bones crackled loudly, and finally, he leaped up and walked out of the pool.

Completely refined!

The essence of this pool of Earth Spirit Milk could have helped two or three people cleanse their marrow and transform their bodies.

But now, all of its essence had been absorbed by Ye Han.

With the boost from the Eternal Invincible Dragon Body, Ye Han's body was like a bottomless pit.

Not only was his divine power and vitality ten or a hundred times stronger than ordinary people, but his body could also hold more of different kinds of essence.

If an ordinary Divine Power Realm fifth-level Martial Artist could fully refine a ninth-grade beast core, Ye Han could now refine ten, even a hundred, without bursting.

"Divine Power Realm fifth level? You?"

Wang Rong was shocked and incredulous as Ye Han emerged from the pool.

"What's wrong, senior sister Wang? Is it strange that I'm at the fifth level of the Divine Power Realm?" Ye Han looked puzzled.

"No, nothing."

Wang Rong's smile was somewhat forced.

"Would senior sister Wang like to try too?" Ye Han pointed to the pool.

"Okay!"

Wang Rong's attention was immediately captured.

Unable to wait, she directly entered the pool.

She closed her eyes, showing a contented and enjoyable expression.

However, this expression lasted only for a moment before her eyes snapped open, revealing a look of confusion and doubt.

"Why is there no effect?"

Wang Rong was puzzled and did not understand.

"No effect? That can't be right," Ye Han looked at Wang Rong incredulously.

Joking aside, Earth Spirit Milk was an invaluable treasure, and since there was no container to take it away, why wouldn't Ye Han absorb it completely? Why leave any for others?

No effect?

The liquid in that pool was now just Ye Han's bathwater; its divine essence had long been absorbed by him. It would be strange if it still had any effect.

A disgruntled Wang Rong walked out of the pool, glanced at Ye Han, and then looked towards several corpses not far away.

"Zhao Li?"

"He actually died here!"

Wang Rong was shocked and quickly scanned the surroundings, on guard.

"When I arrived, they were already dead," Ye Han spread his hands.

"I see, did they leave anything else behind when they died?"

Wang Rong composed herself, regaining her previous gentle and charming demeanor, her gaze focusing on Ye Han.

"Nothing!"

Ye Han shook his head, "However, he did leave behind a few ninth-grade beast cores."

Ye Han's palm opened, revealing three ninth-grade beast cores, each one extremely precious.

"There were four in total, I kept one, and these three, would senior sister like to use them for cultivation?"

Ye Han said this with a hint of shyness.

"Thank you, junior brother, for your kindness!"

Wang Rong glanced at the ring on Ye Han's left middle finger, then cast a flirtatious look at Ye Han, her cheeks blushing slightly.

"Junior brother, wait here for me. I'll go check if there's any danger outside. This Martial Tomb is a good shelter; we can hide here until the Netherworld Realm opens again."

Without waiting for Ye Han to speak, Wang Rong didn't reach for the ninth-grade beast cores but left after saying this.

"Okay!"

Ye Han immediately nodded, then hesitated, looking reluctant, "Senior sister, you won't just leave like this, will you?"

"Of course not, junior brother, don't worry."

After saying this, Wang Rong hurried towards the exit of the Martial Tomb, disappearing into the deep passageway.

Watching Wang Rong's retreating figure, Ye Han's originally reluctant face gradually turned cold, with a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.

"Yin Tianxiu, you really are a persistent ghost!"

Ye Han clenched his fists and closed his eyes.

Yin Tianxiu had gone to great lengths to get him into the Netherworld Realm, partly to threaten his teacher... senior sister Mo Qingrou from the outside.

On the other hand, she had even let this Wang Rong enter this realm, probably to apply pressure both internally and externally.

The Child of Reincarnation, Feng Wuliang, might return soon, and it seems Yin Tianxiu couldn't wait any longer.

She wanted to use his life to threaten senior sister Mo Qingrou.

And she was also worried that Feng Wuliang's return to the Limitless Sword Sect would lead to her death, thwarting her plans, so she had to get him to the Netherworld Realm first?

Too bad... it's destined to fail!

"Wang Rong, the first explosion in the Qi Explosion Realm, is almost as strong as those who died before," Ye Han began to assess Wang Rong's strength.

At the same time, he could hear Wang Rong's voice outside the Martial Tomb.

"Senior sister Yin, there's been a change in plans."

"This Ye Han has reached the fifth level of the Divine Power Realm after just over ten days in the Netherworld Realm."

"His cultivation speed is not inferior to some of the talented Inner Disciples, posing a great threat. It's better to let me take care of him to eliminate future problems. After all, Mo Qingrou doesn't know."

"Nothing to worry about, this kid trusts me completely, he's even willing to give me three ninth-grade beast cores for free..."

Wang Rong kept talking, clearly knowing everything about Ye Han's entry into the Netherworld Realm.

The only thing she concealed was about the ancient Martial Tomb, probably out of selfishness.

But Wang Rong could never have dreamed...

That every word she uttered was being transmitted clearly into Ye Han's ears.
