"Your Highness, the target has departed!"
Watching Ye Xuan and his group leave the Four Seas Merchant Guild, a hidden figure's eyes flashed with a cold glint. He transmitted a message to his young prince, Li Yuanqing, completely unaware that he was only accelerating the prince's demise.
"Excellent!"
"Make sure to follow closely. That brat... must die today!!"
Soon, Li Yuanqing gave his orders, his entire being filled with excitement.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The hidden figure's killing intent grew palpable, his aura reaching the triple heavens of the Star Realm. While not overwhelmingly powerful, he was certainly not weak.
"He's offended the Crown Prince of the War King's Mansion. This is going to be good~~"
With this thought, the hidden figure followed, yet he remained oblivious that his every move was exposed to someone's gaze.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task of participating in the Myriad Nations Trading Convention. You have received 3 billion Ziwei Coins and a bonus of 50 million top-grade Saint Crystals!"
Not long after leaving the Four Seas Merchant Guild, Ye Xuan subtly glanced at a hidden spot nearby. The system's voice chimed in his ear, announcing the successful reward for the mission.
A slight smile curved his lips as he brought up his status panel.

Looking at the Saint Crystals and wealth on his status panel, Ye Xuan's lips curved. Now, with his resources alone, he could rival a first-class Saint Kingdom, or even a super-class Saint Kingdom.
Fifteen minutes later.
Ye Xuan and his group entered the Endless Jungle. Seeing this, the hidden figure smirked, "He actually entered the Endless Jungle. That brat has truly found himself a good burial ground."
*Swish~*
Not long after, Li Yuanqing, accompanied by the strong fighters of the War King's Mansion, met up with the follower. Apart from Li Yuanqing, who was a first-heaven Star Realm expert, the rest were all at the triple heavens or above, with the strongest being a seventh-heaven Star Realm expert.
"Attack!"
Li Yuanqing wasted no time. He didn't want to delay, as any opportunity on that brat could lead to his own soaring ascent.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The fighters of the War King's Mansion immediately charged towards Ye Xuan with incredible speed, on the verge of reaching him.
*Boom~~*
At a certain moment, Li Yuanqing and his group were forcefully repelled by a terrifying energy. As Li Yuanqing clearly saw his opponents, his face filled with disbelief. "You are... people from the Four Seas Merchant Guild!?"
Seeing the familiar 'Four Seas' inscription on the armbands of the opposing group, Li Yuanqing flew into a rage. "The Four Seas Merchant Guild has incredible audacity! Get out of my way!"
"Or do you... want to offend my War King's Mansion?!"
Upon hearing this, the Four Seas Merchant Guild experts let out a disdainful laugh. "The War King's Mansion, truly putting on airs."
"You dare to attack our esteemed guest from the Four Seas Merchant Guild? It is you who are audacious."
"Kill them all. Leave none alive!"
The peak ultimate expert of the Four Seas Merchant Guild, standing at the precipice of the Moon Realm, issued the command. Instantly, several figures beside him moved, appearing as grim reapers, decimating the Star Realm experts of the Hongmeng Saint Kingdom's War King's Mansion with overwhelming force.
It was a complete slaughter. In less than three breaths, all but Li Yuanqing of the dozens of War King's Mansion members were dead!
*Gulp~*
Watching all his elite fighters fall beside him, Li Yuanqing's face was filled with shock. "You... you actually dared to harm people from my War King's Mansion."
"The Hongmeng Saint Kingdom will not..."
*Chiii~*
Before Li Yuanqing could finish his words, a strand of sword energy pierced his forehead. His consciousness scattered, and with a thud, he became a corpse on the ground.
"Withdraw!"
Glancing at the corpses of Li Yuanqing and his men, the Four Seas Merchant Guild expert, just one step away from the Moon Realm, formed a hand seal. A giant energy palm descended from the sky, crushing the bodies of Li Yuanqing and his group into a bloody pulp before they made their escape.
Shortly after their departure, a strong scent of blood filled the air. Swarms of beasts, drawn by the tempting aroma, descended upon the pulped remains of Li Yuanqing and his men, devouring them. The scene was too gruesome to behold.
"Oh?"
Sensing the energy fluctuations from behind, and hearing the occasional excited shouts, Ye Xuan mused, "The Four Seas Merchant Guild actually intervened."
"It seems Xia Wanjin is quite resourceful."
Clearly, this action improved Ye Xuan's impression of the Four Seas Merchant Guild.
Half a day later, deep within the Endless Jungle.
"Roar~"
A ferocious beast roar echoed, and then a dark phantom tiger, dozens of feet long, appeared before them. Its aura was significantly stronger than the earlier Skyward Demonic Lion.
Without hesitation, Ye Xuan moved Luo Tianyi and the others into the Exquisite Pagoda.
Although the dark phantom tiger before him posed no threat, this creature was an excellent test subject.
"【Great Desolation Scripture · Activate】!"
With a thought, the Great Desolation Scripture was fully unleashed. Immediately, a bizarre scene unfolded. Around Ye Xuan, all the surrounding vegetation withered and died.
Ten feet!
Fifty feet! One hundred feet!!
In an instant, the withered area exceeded a hundred feet, and this was just the beginning...
"Interesting!"
Feeling the surge of energy flowing into him from beneath his feet, every cell in Ye Xuan's body pulsed with excitement. "Consume!!"
*Rumble~~*
Terrifying energy poured into his body, and the withered area immediately expanded beyond a thousand feet, then three thousand, five thousand, eight thousand...
Finally, it stopped at ten thousand feet.
Within a radius of ten thousand feet, all the once lush vegetation had turned dry and brittle, demonstrating the power of this method!
"Such a powerful feeling~~"
As the terrifying energy successfully flowed into him, Ye Xuan's entire body flushed. The dark phantom tiger opposite clearly sensed something was amiss. Without further hesitation, it transformed into a streak of light and lunged fiercely at Ye Xuan, its speed such that even a ninth-heaven Star Realm expert couldn't stop it.
"Excellent!"
Just when he was itching for a fight, Ye Xuan met the charge with a punch. *Boom*.
A crisp sound rang out. Both man and beast were sent back over a hundred feet, then looked at each other in surprise, neither expecting the other to possess such strength.
"Again!!"
Ye Xuan's eyes blazed with excitement. He could now contend with a first-heaven Blazing Sun realm dark phantom tiger without using any special abilities. Such a beast's combat power was equivalent to a second-heaven Blazing Sun realm fighter.
*Boom boom~*
*Boom boom boom~~*
The depths of the Endless Jungle were torn asunder by the ripples of their battle. If this scene were to spread, the entire endless world would be shaken to its core. The fierce battle raged on, shaking the heavens and earth, eclipsing the sun and moon!
