Foundation Establishment Peak is nothing.

Ye Haochuan had successfully achieved Foundation Establishment in just a few months, and reaching Foundation Establishment Peak would only take him another few months at most.

Seeing that he was about to win over the Immortal Aunt he used to only dream about, how could he not be overjoyed?

“That’s just the basic requirement.

Who knows how things will turn out by then?” Long Piaoying suddenly chuckled mischievously and turned away.

Damn, since when did this Immortal Aunt become so cunning?

Ye Haochuan felt vexed inside.

Long Piaoying had just broken through to Foundation Establishment Peak, but attempting Core Formation was still somewhat ambitious.

Using the dense spiritual energy in the cave, she immediately began cultivating without pause.

Meanwhile, the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger couldn’t wait any longer.

After slightly adjusting its state, it swallowed an Enlightenment Pill and began its breakthrough attempt.

As soon as the Enlightenment Pill entered its stomach, Ye Haochuan noticed the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger’s aura intensify.

Its entire body seemed engulfed by an incredibly concentrated wave of spiritual energy.

“Roar~”

With a single earth-shaking roar from the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger, gusts of wind whipped around the cave, making Ye Haochuan squint to shield his eyes.

It was evident that the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger was trying to break through the barriers of Core Formation.

But in the next moment, the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger’s surging energy suddenly stagnated and quickly began dissipating.

“Failed?” Ye Haochuan’s brows furrowed deeply.

“Roar~”

A second, weaker roar followed immediately, and the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger’s expression turned ferocious and grim.

Seeing the tiger’s condition, Ye Haochuan knew that this breakthrough attempt was a bust.

Demon beasts forming a core was inherently more challenging than for humans.

Clearly, relying on a single Enlightenment Pill wasn’t enough to succeed.

Panic swept over Ye Haochuan’s heart as he hurriedly took out another Enlightenment Pill and fed it to the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger.

In an instant, the tiger’s aura surged once more.

Ye Haochuan didn’t know if this would work, but he had no other options.

If the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger missed this opportunity to break through, it would become exceedingly difficult to attempt again in the future.

As the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger launched into its third attempt, an unwelcome voice suddenly echoed from the cave entrance.

“So you’re really here.

Took us quite some effort to find you!” The speaker was a man in his fifties or sixties—none other than Yamamoto Shin himself.

He had originally been tasked with tracking the Ji Family’s twin tigers but ultimately arrived late, allowing them to escape first.

Frustrated, he set his sights on killing Ye Haochuan to make amends, only to find his subordinates sent after Ye Haochuan wiped out one after another.

Unable to sit idle any longer, he had come in person.

Behind him stood several others, none younger than forty.

“Hellfire…

so persistent, like ghosts that refuse to move on!”

Ye Haochuan was startled but stepped forward alongside Long Piaoying to confront the intruders.

Among the group, Yamamoto Shin was the strongest, a cultivator at Foundation Establishment Peak.

Of the others, three were at Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

With the Crimson Wing Golden Tiger at such a critical juncture, it was impossible for it to assist in the fight.

This time, they could only rely on themselves.

Thankfully, Long Piaoying had recently broken through to Foundation Establishment Peak, giving Ye Haochuan’s side a glimmer of hope.

“To kill you two, we sacrificed so many of our Hellfire elites.

This time, you won’t escape again!” Yamamoto Shin sneered coldly and, without further ado, led his men into action.

Long Piaoying rushed forward, and the Hellfire cultivators immediately perceived her as the greatest threat, sending two Foundation Establishment Late Stage combatants to surround her.

“Snow Dragon’s Sky-Screech!”

Long Piaoying directly unleashed her Spirit Level Technique.

With her spirited cry, a massive snow-white dragon materialized in the air, with her positioned on its dragon head.

“Roar~”

The snow dragon roared fiercely, unleashing countless ice swords from its maw.

Its targets were not Yamamoto Shin but the two Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators.

Her strategy was straightforward: eliminate the two weaker opponents with a single strike to free herself up for focusing on Yamamoto Shin.

Sure enough, one Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator, caught off guard, was pierced through by the ice swords.

But the other, owing to his proximity to Yamamoto Shin, was saved by the latter.

Though her efforts fell short of expectations, Long Piaoying couldn’t help feeling regret.

She knew the ensuing battle would be arduous.

On the other side, one Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator, alongside two Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage cultivators, surrounded Ye Haochuan.

However, they didn’t attack immediately, instead sizing him up.

“His talent is supposed to surpass the Ji Family twin tigers’?

Somehow, I don’t see how,” the Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator said, turning to his companions.

“Who knows?

If we went through all this trouble to kill a nobody, it would be a huge waste!” a Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage cultivator replied.

Ye Haochuan finally pieced it together: someone had claimed his talent exceeded that of the Ji Family twin tigers, and this rumor had prompted Hellfire’s relentless pursuit.

Damn it, who’s the bigmouth that’s so blunt?

Once I find you, I’ll beat you so badly even your parents won’t recognize you!

Frustrated, Ye Haochuan feigned a pleading expression and said, “I say, brothers, you’ve surely got the wrong guy!

I only reached Foundation Establishment in my twenties—how could my talent surpass the Ji Family twin tigers?

This is absolutely a misunderstanding!”

“Misunderstanding or not, it’s irrelevant now.

Killing the Ji Family twin tigers is out of the question, so you’re the next best thing.

Bad luck is to blame—accept your fate!”

“Brother, I’m only in my twenties.

I haven’t lived long enough—can’t you spare me?” Ye Haochuan suddenly teared up, pleading pitifully.

“I haven’t lived long enough either, so who’s sparing me?” A Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage cultivator grew furious, brandishing his sword and rushing at Ye Haochuan.

These men had been abandoned in the Sub-Thunder Element Dimension Realm from the moment they entered, leaving them bitter and resentful.

But just as his sword was about to strike Ye Haochuan’s head, Ye Haochuan’s pitiful expression suddenly disappeared, replaced by a chilling murderous intent.

“Not good!”

The cultivator instantly sensed danger and tried to retreat, but a fiery pain spread across his chest.

Looking down, he saw an inconspicuous longsword buried deep into him.

In the next moment, he lost all feeling, as his entire body disintegrated into a skeleton.

Ye Haochuan had infused the White Spirit Moxa Flame into his Divine Concealment Sword.

With one strike, the cultivator was utterly annihilated.

“Bastard!

I’ll tear you to pieces!” Furious, the remaining two Hellfire cultivators charged at Ye Haochuan.

Clearly, Ye Haochuan’s pleas had been a ruse to lull his opponent into dropping his guard, setting up the fatal blow.

“Blood River Sword Annihilation!”

“Netherworld Kill!”

The two unleashed their most powerful techniques, aiming to leave Ye Haochuan with no chance of survival.

The Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators’ strongest strikes were overwhelming for Ye Haochuan, still at Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

He seemed doomed to be obliterated!

“Golden Bell Shield!”

At the critical moment, Ye Haochuan activated Long Keyue’s magical treasure.

This artifact, last used during the Lei Ze confrontation, had now recovered enough for use.

Clang~

All attacks were deflected, leaving Ye Haochuan completely unscathed.

“What?” The Hellfire cultivators stared in disbelief.

How could such a powerful defensive ability be deployed by someone at Ye Haochuan’s level?

“Watch out!” one Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator shouted urgently.
