The Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country, no matter which one, possessed energy that was far beyond the reach of an ordinary person.

Ling Tian's decision to make a move against the Li Family, although 90% personal vendetta, the remaining 10% was also well thought out and only executed because it seemed feasible.

Others might not know the intentions of Xuan Country's military, but Ling Tian did.

No well-established, powerful nation would allow the existence of the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country, with their immense individual power.

Suppression was inevitable, and uprooting them completely would be ideal, but the military of Xuan Country had not yet found the opportunity, or rather, they had not been prepared for the counterattack from the Eight Great Sects.

The Eight Great Sects were not little kittens or puppies that would be slaughtered without resistance; if Xuan Country showed any intention of taking action against them, it was likely that the Eight Great Sects would immediately join forces.

This was not what Xuan Country's military wanted to see, and they had already tried to contact some of these forces, attempting to dissolve them by employing the strategy of 'using one to conquer the other.'

Li Yunchen and his companion stood side by side, swords in hand, a powerful aura emanating from their bodies, making their robes flutter noisily.

Li Chaotian also stood by their side, ready to fight at any moment.

Ling Tian scoffed disdainfully, "You three think you can resist me? Very well, let me show you the strength of Ling Tian."

As his words fell, Ling Tian brought his two fingers of the right hand together, pointing at Li Chaotian.

A terrifying and colossal destructive aura burst from between the fingers; a vigor filled with overwhelming strength shot fiercely at Li Chaotian.

Li Chaotian felt a tingling on his scalp and immediately responded.

Confronting Ling Tian's assault, a fierce killing intent swept through Li Chaotian's eyes. His opponent's attack did not make him step back; instead, he took a step forward, an overwhelming evil aura churning around him, and his palm, filled with fiery red spiritual energy, retaliated with a scorching blast.

Boom!

Their exceptionally violent powers collided mid-air, causing a thunderous noise that immediately echoed uncontrollably, followed by a shocking energy storm that swept out from the point where their attacks met.

Li Chaotian was forced to stagger back several steps by the force, while Ling Tian didn't even slightly swayed.

The disparity in strength was clear at a glance.

"That's all you've got? You dare to strike against me?" Having repelled Li Chaotian with one finger, Ling Tian laughed wildly, his laughter filled with disdain and mockery.

Li Chaotian's expression grew solemn, and without turning his head, he communicated to Li Yunchen and his uncle through a secret technique, "Father, uncle, you go first. I'll hold him off!"

"Hmph, although Ling Tian is strong, our joint force is not weak!" Li Yunchen ignored his words, and with a step forward, they positioned themselves to the left and right of Li Chaotian, ready to execute their martial techniques without any further verbal communication.

Other forces and sects watched the almost lightning-fast exchange between the two parties with complex emotions.

Ling Tian represented the military, and Li Chaotian with his group represented the Li Family of Xuan Country and the Ancient Li Family. They all understood what it would mean if the Li Family lost the battle today.

"Ling Tian is going too far!" someone complained.

"So what if he is? Can the Li Family even contend with him? He is representing Xuan Country's military after all."

"Is the military of Xuan Country really going to take action against us?"

"What are you talking about? Ling Tian's action against the Li Family is probably because of Li Xiaoyao that kid, what does it have to do with us?"

The crowd fell silent; Ling Tian's identity was clear to everyone. He was making a move against the Li Family of Xuan Country in front of so many sect elders, and even declared his intent to annihilate the Li Family, which to some extent represented the military's stance.

Even knowing this, no one made a move to help the Li Family.

It's an attitude of indifference if it doesn't concern oneself; deep down they all held onto a sliver of hope that the military surely wouldn't dare to make a move against them. Yet, what they failed to consider was if one day the military did make a move against them, the other sects would also adopt the same mindset, pretending to know nothing. The ultimate result would be all sects being taken out one by one. By the time they would realize and want to resist, it would already be too late.

…

Twenty days, Li Xiaoyao had cultivated the martial body secret technique to the Fourth Rank, an astonishingly defiant speed.

Even the mysterious little girl in the nine-tiered pagoda below, upon seeing Li Xiaoyao's cultivation progress in the secret chamber, was quite surprised.

"Only twenty days to cultivate the body to the Fourth Rank? Although for a true cultivator, this speed is not fast, in this world, there actually exists someone with such high talent for cultivation. It seems, this time I really picked up a treasure," the little girl's eyes shone brightly, her face full of excitement.

Although Li Xiaoyao had made an extreme breakthrough to the Fourth Rank of the martial body in a very short time, advancing from the Fourth Rank to the Fifth took him a whole month.

The fiftieth day.

Li Xiaoyao, covered in scars, sat cross-legged on the ground, operating the martial body cultivation secret technique, streams of spiritual energy gathering in the secret chamber into thin wisps, surging towards his body.

This spiritual energy fused with his muscles and blood, easing the soreness in his muscles, rapidly healing his wounds, and his muscle strength soared at a terrifying speed.

Li Xiaoyao's eyes were tightly closed, his nearly naked body's muscles were like hard stones, fitting together piece by piece. His tense muscles visibly displayed veins bulging on the surface.

Li Xiaoyao's expression was somewhat painful, as if he was under immense pressure.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, the muscles on his arm tore open, blood spraying out, staining his body red.

Li Xiaoyao clenched his teeth tightly, his brows twisted into a knot.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

The muscles over his body kept ripping as if he was under tremendous stress.

The muscle wounds tore continuously, bleeding, healing, and repeating the cycle.

This state lasted for about more than an hour, and Li Xiaoyao's face had turned deathly pale.

"Ahh!!!"

Suddenly, Li Xiaoyao let out an unforeseen roar, his angry voice filling the silent secret chamber.

As his roar echoed, an incredibly powerful force surged from every inch of his muscles.

Li Xiaoyao abruptly stood up, instantly arrived in front of the stone wall, and without any preparation, he unleashed a punch onto the wall like a purely cathartic release.

"Bang!"

The ground shook, and the entire secret chamber trembled violently, yet the stone wall still remained unmarked.

"Not enough, not enough!"

Li Xiaoyao shouted between clenched teeth. He could feel a powerful, overwhelming force within his chest, waiting to be unleashed, but it was suppressed by an even more formidable power.

He knew that this power was the energy sealed inside him.

The martial body cultivation secret technique was indeed terrifying, actually resonating with the power sealed within him.

"Just a bit more, and I will release this power!"

Li Xiaoyao bit down hard on his teeth, throwing punch after punch at the stone wall like a madman.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
