Go!

Late at night.

At the nine peaks of the Empyrean Sword Sect. An atmosphere of tranquility.

The disciples in the sect were either working hard and in a cultivation state.

Or, like an ordinary person without cultivation, they were falling asleep.

At this moment, unless there was something important, no one would choose to step into the Grand Myriad Mountains late at night.

The Grand Myriad Mountains at night.

They belonged to those primordial ferocious beasts.

Countless hungry primordial ferocious beasts could be hiding in any corner of the Grand Myriad Mountains.

They would wait for their prey to appear before killing them with a single strike.

At this moment, they were much more bloodthirsty and dangerous than during the day.

"Shua—"

A figure in green clothes representing the ordinary disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect stepped into the Grand Myriad Mountains at an extremely fast speed.

The figure's black hair flowed like a waterfall.

His face was as white as jade, his eyebrows were sharp, and his temperament was ethereal.

A token hung on his waist with the words "First Disciple of the Eighth Summit" written on it.

The figure that was rushing along the depths of the Grand Myriad Mountains was Shen Ran.

After obtaining the opportunity left behind by the peerless Sword God in the Black Mountain, he rushed back without stopping.

It took him four hours to travel more than five thousand miles.

He had no choice.

Although the Chaos Divine Fruit would only appear in a month's time, he was not the only one who knew when it would mature.

There was also Chen Beixuan, who had been reborn ten thousand years later.

In order to successfully obtain the ripe Chaos Divine Fruit,

Shen Ran planned to find the exact location of the Chaos Divine Fruit in advance and guard it.

As soon as it ripened, he would pluck it.

Shen Ran quickened his pace.

He moved like the wind and searched all the places where the Chaos Divine Fruit might grow.

Along the way, Shen Ran also encountered many hungry primordial ferocious beasts.

Shen Ran did not want to waste time on them.

He would pull out his Emperor's Heart the moment the primordial ferocious beasts looked at him.

He cut into half the primordial ferocious beasts that was hostile to him.

As he continued to explore and go deeper,

He finally came to a stele.

This stone tablet was erected by the Empyrean Sword Sect.

Crossing over this stone tablet meant that he had set foot in the most dangerous territory of the Grand Myriad Mountains.

Although there were many primordial ferocious beasts in the area before crossing over the stone tablet, their realms were almost no higher than the sixth level of the Divine Sea Realm.

However, as long as he crossed this stone tablet, it meant that Shen Ran would be facing at least a seventh level Divine Sea Realm primordial vicious beasts.

There were even many primordial ferocious beasts at the Illumination Realm.

However, Shen Ran only stopped in front of the stone tablet for a moment before deciding to step into the Grand Myriad Mountains behind the stone tablet.

Other than searching the area inside the stone tablet and still not finding the location where the Chaos Divine Fruit grew,

Shen Ran also had the confidence to face primordial ferocious beasts at the Illumination Realm.

Although he was only at the seventh level of the Divine Sea Realm now.

However, it was different from ordinary seventh level Divine Sea Realm cultivators.

The spiritual energy stored in his Divine Sea had been compressed and purified by the Heavenly Spirit Root and enhanced by the Supreme Bone.

It could be said that just a drop of golden spiritual energy in Shen Ran's body was equivalent to the full cultivation of 100 ordinary seventh level Divine Sea cultivators.

Moreover, he also had the Pangu Sacred Body, the Wood Spirit Body, and the top physical body formed by the Ancient Immortal Eyes.

Even without cultivation, he was confident that he could face an existence at the Illumination Realm with just his physical strength.

In addition, there was also the Divine Sword Emperor's Heart and the peerless sword technique, the Heaven Splitting Technique, which also gave him confidence.

At the very least, if he encountered primordial ferocious beasts that he really could not defeat, he could still use the Azure Dragon Transformation and transform into a ten thousand feet True Dragon Body.

Although he could only transform into a True Dragon for a minute, it was enough for him to leave the depths of the Grand Myriad Mountains safely.

He pondered over this.

Shen Ran confidently stepped deeper into the Grand Myriad Mountains.

"Roar!!"

Not long after Shen Ran stepped into the territory outside the stone tablet, he encountered the first eighth level Divine Sea Realm primordial ferocious beast.

Crimson Flame Ape.

A beast more than 30 feet tall and covered in red fur. Every hair on its body was burning with red flames with terrifying temperature.

Shen Ran's expression hardened.

"Clang!"

The Divine Sword Emperor's Heart was unsheathed.

A stream of sword light tore through the night.

It slashed directly at the Crimson Flame Ape.

Something unexpected happened.

After being slashed by the Divine Sword Emperor's Heart, a huge bone-deep wound instantly appeared on the huge body of the Crimson Flame Ape.

"Roar!!"

The Crimson Flame Ape howled in pain.

The flames on his body instantly became even stronger.

Even the space around his body was distorted by the heat.

"You didn't die after taking my sword strike!"

Shen Ran was surprised.

At the same time, the second and third swords slashed out in succession.

Only then did he manage to cut down the head of the Crimson Flame Ape and ended its life.

Shen Ran was extremely afraid. "After crossing the stone tablet, I encountered the first primordial ferocious beast. It actually took me three strikes without using my cultivation to barely kill it. The deeper parts of the Grand Myriad Mountains are indeed dangerous!"

Shen Ran's expression was serious as he continued deeper into the Grand Myriad Mountains.
