The Transcendent Realm is the first step from mortal to immortal. It allows one to communicate telepathically, fly through the air and vanish at will, sense the laws of nature, and comprehend the mysteries of creation.

In an era beyond description, there were ancient masters who practiced profound and extraordinary secrets in secluded realms. Upon attaining enlightenment in a single moment, they could ascend to immortality and become true immortals.

While the Era of Cultivation in the Transcendent Realm has come to an end, the Transcendent Realm remains a crucial stage in cultivators' training.

For demonic beasts, once they reach the extraordinary realm, they gain the ability to transform into human form. They can speak with human voices and are indistinguishable from humans.

But Ye Fan didn't care about any of that. All he could think about now was killing these great demons and devouring their origins.

Ye Fan would not feel that he was cruel.

The mercy of the strong will always only be given to the weak!

With unparalleled skills, if you don't use them, that would be truly foolish!

Day 7 out!

Over the past few days, Ye Fan hadn't encountered any extraordinary monsters. Instead, he ran into a few Ling Hai realm monsters who tried to attack him, but he easily dealt with them.

Besides, he also obtained lingzhi herbal medicine, the oldest of which dates back as far as seven hundred years.

As for such a rare herb as the Millennium Taiyin Cold Lotus, Ye Fan had never encountered it before.

On this day, a towering mountain range trembled and shook like a slumbering dragon awakening. The sky churned with wind and clouds as the tremors rippled out for dozens of miles. All living creatures within that radius, including spirit sea realm monsters, trembled in fear as they gazed towards the depths of the mountains.

There were two terrifying beings clashing, almost causing mountains to collapse and the ground to crack.

When Ye Fan saw this, he was like a shark smelling blood, his eyes gleaming at the source emanating a terrifying aura.

"Haha, it was really hard to find. But perseverance pays off! I finally found it!"

After finishing, Ye Fan sprinted towards his destination with great strides.

Even though his physical training reached the peak, he still lacked the ability to fly or teleport.

However, with a single stride he could cover hundreds of meters. In less than a stick of incense, he had already crossed a mountain peak.

But the closer they got to their destination, the louder the sounds became, with roars echoing incessantly.

Boom!

Suddenly, Ye Fan's vision was filled with a hill collapsing. Huge rocks burst outward and dust filled the air.

Ye Fan saw very clearly that it was an incomparably huge body that had rammed the small hill to collapse.

It was far larger than any monster he had ever seen before, a jet-black demon leopard.

Although demon tribes can transform into human form after becoming extraordinary, their true strength can only be fully realized when they are in their true forms before cultivating a dharma body.

Subsequently, another massive demon descended from the sky towards the leopard demon, its imposing presence causing even Ye Fan to be startled.

The most striking thing was the appearance of this great demon. Its body resembled a giant python, but it also had horns on its head and scales all over its body!

Isn't this a freakin' dragon!

Still a Transcendent Dragon!

Ye Fan's brows furrowed into a Chuan character, now he had to think carefully about whether to go or not.

A dragon is unlike ordinary monsters. It possesses formidable combat power and has few rivals in its realm.

"Black Panther, you've held dominion over this land for three hundred years. Today, it's time for a change in masters!"

The demon leopard surged out from the collapsing mountain, stopping mid-air and roaring angrily: "Lin Jiu, you have spent hundreds of years cultivating to achieve the form of a dragon, countless demons desire your dragon scales and flesh, wanting to strip you and drink your dragon blood. You should be hiding diligently to solidify your cultivation base, why did you come here to provoke me?"

Ye Fan watched this scene secretly and thought, "It turns out that two powerful demons are fighting for territory!"

"However... this Jiao Long is actually a demonic serpent's body cultivated after birth!"

To become a dragon, it's not an easy feat.

When a demonic snake cultivates to the Transcendent Realm, there are two paths it can take!

The first point is to follow the ancestral path, retain the serpentine body, and one day blood will return to its ancestors.

The second is to abandon the snake's body and refine the dragon treasure body.

However, this path is a perilous one. When transforming into a dragon, one will face a heavenly tribulation. If one survives it, they will be reborn anew. But if they fail, everything will come to an end.

It is clear that Lin Jiu took the second path!

Although it was arduous, it benefited him greatly. Even though his realm wasn't as profound as Black Panther's, he could still forcefully suppress it.

"Keke~ Don't worry about it!"

Línjiǔ looked fearless, causing Yè Fán in the shadows to frown.

From Lin Jiu's words, one could hear a hint of arrogance. This meant that Ye Fan would face even greater difficulty in killing him.

But...

Ye Fan bears the Mandate of Heaven, possesses great fortune and is not afraid of any unexpected incidents that might befall him.

Just go for it!

If I can't win, I might as well just give up.

These days, the most important thing is your background.

Even in this world of darkness and deception, where his powerful father reigns supreme, who the hell dares to touch Ye?

And just in this short moment, the Black Panther and Lin Jiu clashed again. Although Lin Jiu was powerful, the Black Panther's realm was higher after all. Though he fell behind, he was not completely helpless.

Furthermore, Transcendent cultivators can fly and travel through the earth. If Black Panther was truly determined to escape, even Lin Jiu might not be able to stop him.

But how could Black Panther abandon the territory he had ruled for three hundred years?

Even for the sake of face, I have to go through with this performance with Lin Jiu.

It's really not a match, it's not too late to run away.

He also had a little bit of experience when it came to saving lives.

The Black Panther's body was burning with black flames, his figure tall and mighty, looking very imposing.

The surging demonic power coalesced into a rolling black cloud, interwoven with dense runes of arcane law. A space of a thousand zhang radius was enveloped within it, its imposing presence pressing down from mid-air.

The energy between heaven and earth also suddenly raged at this moment. Under this terrifying pressure, grass and trees turned into powder, and even the mountains couldn't withstand it and began to disintegrate layer by layer, crumbling.

"Humph, you still have some tricks up your sleeve!"

Although he said so, a disdainful look flashed in Lin Jiu's eyes. He let out a high-pitched long whistle, his agile body soared into the sky, claws extended, as if to tear the black cloud transformed by the Black Panther demon force in half.

His claws were like divine steel, unbreakable, and a thread of lightning surrounded them, radiating an aura of destruction.

Of course, the Dragon Transformation Thunder Tribulation, although terrifying, also contained the essence of creation, allowing Lin Jiu to comprehend a trace of the Law of Thunder.

When I transformed into a dragon, I was fortunate enough to comprehend a precious technique. Today, I'll test its power on you!

Before the words left his mouth, Lin Jiu’s dragon claw crackled with thunder, a gale howled, and in a devastatingly swift strike, it shattered the black clouds.

The Black Panther was instantly injured, his massive body swaying like a candle in the wind, his breath suddenly weakening.

"This Liujiu fellow, he just broke through to the Transcendent Realm. How can his strength be so terrifying?"

"Let me tell you, I became transcendent three hundred years before him!"

The Black Panther secretly cried out in pain, immediately converging his breath and decisively fleeing to a distance.

Territory can be taken back if lost, but life cannot be regained once it's gone.

Although he is not as skilled as Lin Jiu in the Transcendent Realm, his ability to survive is top-notch.

He is known for his speed.

But the next moment, alarm bells rang in his mind. A surge of intense crisis swept over him, even stronger than the feeling he had when facing Lin Jiu's terrifying divine ability just moments ago. He felt a prickling sensation on his back like a blade was poised to strike.

The Black Panther suddenly turned around, a beam of golden light in his pupils expanding rapidly.

It turned out to be a divine spear, forged entirely from gold!

The divine firearm was imbued with dense arcane runes, and it sped toward him at an incredible velocity.

If he were at his prime, he might not have been able to dodge this terrifying shot, but the person in the shadows was so dishonorable as to resort to an ambush.

Or we could take advantage of his defeat, while he's disoriented and vulnerable, and launch a surprise attack!

He completely caught him off guard!

Who on earth is this shameless wretch, who acts like a beast?

The Black Panther really wanted to speak out loudly, but he never got the chance again.

His demonic barrier, conjured through his mystical power, crumbled before the divine gun like tofu against a hammer.

His flesh, harder than any stone or metal, was utterly helpless against the divine bullets. One shot pierced right through him.

The Black Panther's head was pierced with a large hole, causing him to die instantly. His massive body crashed to the ground from midair.

Lin Jiu only reacted now, and he never expected that the black panther, who had been battling him for so long, would die just like that!

My head has been punched through a big hole!

That was a truly terrifying shot! He figured if that bullet had hit him, he wouldn't have died but would have been seriously injured.

The good news is that he also saw the drawbacks of this gun.

The speed is clearly too slow. Besides the occasional surprise attack, there's hardly any way to hurt him.

"Showing your tail, where are you rats? Come out!"

Lin Jiu let out a long, sharp roar, his body coiled in mid-air. He looked around, constantly releasing his divine sense to sweep back and forth.

It's a pity that he has just entered the extraordinary realm, his divine awareness can only cover a limited range, so he gained nothing.

For the first time, Ling Jiu felt an unprecedented fear towards his hidden enemies.

That terrifying gunshot, although it posed no threat to him, left a deep impression on him.

In the shadows, Ye Fan chuckled softly, but he didn't immediately walk out.

You want me to appear, so I appear?

"Wouldn't I, Ye [Someone], lose face?"
