"Golden Body detected, completeness: 35%." "It only increased by 5%? And it's this powerful already?" Li Xiaoyao smacked his lips continuously. Although he had only repaired 5% of his Golden Body, he felt that the strength of his physical body had at least doubled several times over. The limit that a regular mortal body can reach is the peak of a Transverse Refinement Grandmaster, and Li Xiaoyao's physical strength had already broken through this limit. According to his own estimation, his bodily strength was about three realms higher than the peak of a Transverse Refinement Grandmaster. In simple terms, Li Xiaoyao's current physical strength allowed him to kill a Cultivator in the Golden Core Realm with a single punch. After continuous breakthroughs, Li Xiaoyao's Cultivation Level had now reached the pinnacle of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, with only an opportunity needed to reach the Golden Core Realm. The Golden Core Realm is a watershed moment for Cultivators on their path of Cultivation, reaching the Golden Core Realm enables them to connect with the power of heaven and earth, and utilize it. When battling a strong practitioner of the Golden Core Realm, what you're facing is not just an individual, but a Cultivator who can mobilize the power of heaven and earth. Having reached the pinnacle of the Spirit Cultivation Realm, Li Xiaoyao could also touch upon the threshold of the Golden Core Realm, but the heaven and earth's power he could mobilize was limited. He stood up, walked outside, and kicked the large rock blocking the door. The boulder exploded with a bang, turning into gravel that scattered in all directions. "Holy crap! I didn't use much strength." Li Xiaoyao stared blankly at his own toes; he had originally intended to just kick the rock aside, but had not expected his strength to have surged that much. Stepping out of the cave, Li Xiaoyao looked up towards the exit of the Human Realm, his neck making cracking sounds as he twisted it. "The roles of hunter and hunted have now been reversed." … Outside the Human Realm, night had already fallen, making the nights at Lop Nor exceptionally dark. With no smog to diminish it, each and every star shined with its brightest light in the clear night sky. A crescent moon hung in the sky, the weak moonlight casting down added an eerie atmosphere to the land. "What if that little bastard stays in there and doesn't come out?" Zhou Lu's face was as dark as water, he said through clenched teeth. Long Yan and the others frowned, indeed, if Li Xiaoyao just stayed inside, even with all their abilities, they would be helpless. "Wait!" Yuan Ling the mage said in a deep voice, then closed his eyes and said no more. Apart from waiting, there was no other option. At the Li Family's location. At this moment, the outside of the Human Realm was unusually quiet. As the instigator, Li Xiaoyao was currently within the Human Realm and although Zhou Lu and his companions were seething inside, they had no outlet for their anger. Li Pingshuang was happy with the current situation — as long as the Offering Elders of the Li Family arrived, they could legitimately take Li Xiaoyao away. If they still harbored thoughts of revenge, the Li Family wouldn't be afraid. All were prominent factions of Xuan Country, who feared whom? Even if they called for more people, at worst, it would come down to a fight to the death. Zhou Lu and his companions were not fools; with only so few people on each side, they dared to shout and call for Li Xiaoyao's death. But if all the Offering Elders from both sides arrived, they wouldn't dare to be so arrogant. Every one of the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country had a heritage spanning hundreds of years, with depths unfathomable to outsiders. The national leadership and the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country regularly communicated each year to prevent any serious conflicts from arising. Should conflicts between the Eight Great Sects arise over a few clan members, it's a situation no one would like to see, and the consequences are something no one could afford to bear. Li Pingshuang understood this principle, and of course, so did Zhou Lu and his companions. So, their chance for revenge was limited to this very, very short window of time. In the midst of the night, the Human Realm portal was so conspicuous that any slight disturbance would be immediately noticed by all. "Buzzing~" Suddenly, the Human Realm portal began to fluctuate, releasing bursts of energy. "Look, the portal is active!" "Li Xiaoyao is coming out!" The commotion at the Human Realm portal immediately attracted everyone's attention, as pairs of eyes instantly fixed on the entrance. Zhou Lu and his companions quickly stood up from the ground and, in a flicker of their figures, positioned themselves in four different directions to block the entrance. They didn't draw their weapons; this was outside the Human Realm, and to use weapons against Li Xiaoyao would be laughable. "What is this kid doing, coming out at this time?" Li Yiming frowned upon seeing the activity at the entrance. Li Pingshuang also looked solemn, sighing inwardly. If Li Xiaoyao had stayed within the Human Realm, all it would take was the arrival of the Offering Elder, and no one would dare touch him. Even if Zhou Lu and his men harbored intentions to kill him, the pressure would force them to give up. But now, Li Xiaoyao had run out on his own, which was practically suicide. "Elder Li, Xiaoyao is the Clan Leader's eldest son, you must protect his life," Li Yiming implored. Li Pingshuang nodded and said, "Even if he wasn't the Clan Leader's son, just a regular clansman, I would never allow these scoundrels to harm his life." With Li Pingshuang's assurance, Li Yiming felt somewhat more at ease. However, he still didn't hold out much hope, because, even for someone as powerful as Li Pingshuang, protecting Li Xiaoyao's life from Zhou Lu and his men wasn't going to be easy. Li Pingshuang looked towards the distance, urgency etched on his face, "The Li Family Offering will arrive in half an hour. Within this half hour, I will protect Li Xiaoyao with my life." If it had been just an ordinary clansman, Li Pingshuang would never have gone to such lengths. He was interested in Li Xiaoyao's potential. So young, and yet to have achieved so much; given ten, twenty years, who could say there would be no place in the world for him to make his mark? In Li Xiaoyao, he saw the future of the Li Family. Therefore, even with serious injuries, he would protect Li Xiaoyao's life at all costs. "Buzzing~" The fluctuations from the Human Realm grew stronger, and Li Pingshuang's gaze became more focused as he murmured, "He's coming out." Zhou Lu and his men's expressions darkened, their aged faces bearing uncontrollable smirks. "Whizz~" With a sound of breaking the air, a figure shot out from the Human Realm portal as fast as lightning. Those with weaker cultivation levels barely sensed a shadow flashing by. Li Yiming felt a shock within: How had the kid's speed suddenly become so fast? Zhou Lu and the others failed to notice anything amiss – after all, in their view, no matter how fast Li Xiaoyao was, he couldn't outpace them. Li Xiaoyao stood outside the Human Realm, looking at the suddenly darkening sky around him. He couldn't help but raise his head towards the night sky and murmur to himself, "It's gotten dark, it seems I've wasted quite a bit of time in there." No sooner had he finished speaking, than Zhou Lu's cold voice immediately rose, "Little bastard, if you had kept hiding inside, we might have indeed struggled to get to you. Although we don't know why you came out, one thing remains unchanged—that today, I will tear you to pieces."
