Volume 1, Chapter 43: Third Layer of Foundation Establishment, Slaying Xu Wuhen

Tang Xi had a dream, a very, very long dream.

In the dream, he became the supreme powerhouse who ruled over the mortal world with absolute authority. With a single sword strike, he could overturn mountains and rivers, shatter the universe, and reorganize stars.

Step by step, he walked toward the summit built upon a foundation of white bones and a sea of blood. Looking back, there was no one else behind him save for himself, only boundless and profound solitude.

The Queen Mother of the West repeated the word "good" three times, expressing her complete satisfaction with the styling and costume arranged by Li Lie.

She could not yet determine who those people outside truly were, but she had always remembered the saying: "A dark and windy night is the time for murder and arson."

Gazing at the clear sky, past events surged into her mind one after another. A faint smile appeared on her face as her hand loosened its grip on Zhu Youjian, and she stopped breathing. Zhu Youjia cried out, "Sister! Sister!" Upon seeing this, Zhu Youxiao yelled, "I have failed the late Emperor!" Vomiting a mouthful of blood, he fell backward.

To be honest, even he trembled upon witnessing that method of physical tempering. With his current level of cultivation, enduring such training would still be too much for him to bear, costing him half his life.

Meanwhile, Li Xiufang had gone back to work in the kitchen. The rhythmic sounds of chopping vegetables, *dong, dong, dong*, awakened distant memories within Ye Duyi.

In truth, Li Lie did not feel much about it, because the story was written that way and had also undergone artistic processing.

The other villagers originally intended to step forward and capture Cui Wuyuan to avenge the fallen villager, but intimidated by Cui Wuyuan's fierce prowess, no one dared to approach, leaving them only to hurl abuses from a distance.

The Shennong Ecosystem was activated, and the planet Shennong ushered in a year-round climate of favorable weather and disaster-free agricultural production.

The eyes of the assistant prefect instantly widened so that they were visibly bulging. Amidst his shock, his ankle was suddenly brushed by something furry, causing him to stumble awkwardly.

Rising early in the morning and finishing breakfast, Long Hao and Gao Chenghu took a taxi to the airport and bought tickets for an afternoon flight to Shengang City.

Auntie had long since noticed Chang Jiu beyond the low wall, seeing her talking there with a young man who looked like a general, so she did not send anyone out to welcome her. Only now, seeing that the man had departed, did she come out to greet her.

Lin Jing returned to the podium and resentfully distributed two stacks of notices: one stack consisted of parent-teacher meeting notices for the parents, while the other notified them of the school return date.

"Fini, Fina, you must remember that not just anyone can join our group. Strength and such are secondary; after all, strength can be cultivated, but character, mindset, and personal integrity are the most important things."

Even though Cristiano Ronaldo no longer possessed his former ability to break through defenses, facing the slightly lumbering Hummels, he still performed a couple of step-overs before fiercely flicking the ball and surging to the left.

On the favorite consort's birthday, Xianfeng bestowed immense face upon Consort Lan, chatting and laughing with her. The Empress also displayed the magnanimity of a legitimate wife, generously raising a toast to Consort Lan and exchanging a few polite and courteous remarks.

After an unknown passage of time, the fangs of the Orc God underwent another transformation. The blood-red light surged restlessly like the surface of the Laye Deep Sea, and a human figure slowly condensed into shape.

As a result, the awakened Germans shattered his illusions in a mere two minutes. Thrust back into reality, Santos instead felt a sense of relief.

"Kill—" The final blade eliminated the last skeleton. The captain of the Gale Guard lowered his head to look at Vrain Baraclough, who had been standing by and watching the spectacle all along, raised the wind-based armament in his hand, and directly lunged toward him.

Because she was far too adept at handling men, even a man as exceptional as Lu Mingchen was tricked into falling for her.

Li Linhuai felt a surge of desolation. Upon returning to Chang'an, Chang Jiu would be married to Xiao Lie. Between him and her, they could only gaze at each other across a lifetime, fated never to be together. As for himself, he feared he would only grow old in solitude.

Yun Mo raised his teacup and said, "Many thanks." With that, he drained the tea in the cup to the last drop.
