After slaying Yan Kuan, Zhao Letian found a storage ring on the corpse, with a space identical to the one he possessed, both being one cubic meter, containing more than ten Mid-Grade Essence Stones and numerous elixirs.
In addition, he took possession of Yan Kuan's two-star inferior grade Spiritual Weapon Flying Sword by dripping blood to recognize it as his master, quickly refined it, and then directly tossed it into the storage ring.
After completing all these actions, Zhao Letian rode the azure longsword, utilizing Qi Manipulation Flight, swiftly returned to where the battle had started, and went through the belongings of those at the True Martial First Realm, acquiring many more Spiritual Artifacts, Primordial Stones, and elixirs.
"The medicinal effects are too fierce, I must breakthrough to the True Martial Realm right here, otherwise, I cannot digest so much Primordial Energy." Zhao Letian's complexion didn't look great, his forehead covered with sweat, the internal situation was extremely bad. Although the Primordial Energy in the Qi Sea had already begun to transform into liquid True Yuan, the massive amount of Primordial Energy transformed from the elixirs in the stomach was still undigested, raging through his meridians, causing unbearable severe pain.
In the Black Mountain Forest, where one could encounter demon beast attacks at any time, it was extremely dangerous to directly meditate and cultivate on the spot, yet, Zhao Letian had no other choice. If he didn't break through to the True Martial Realm quickly, he would still face the risk of his body exploding and dying.
To be safe, before starting to cultivate, Zhao Letian took out ten inferior grade Primordial Stones and set up a small Mysterious Dragon Formation on the spot, instantly, an invisible Qi Shield rose up, enveloping him.
Although he used only inferior grade Primordial Stones this time, the scope of the array had significantly decreased, thus, its power was still no less powerful than the large Mysterious Dragon Formation on the island, people below the True Martial Fourth Realm would find it challenging to break through it easily, which should assure his safety.
After arranging the Array Formation, Zhao Letian immediately sat down, started the "Mystic Armor Power Techniques," and began to digest the massive amount of Primordial Energy within his body, striking at the True Martial Realm.
By now, droplets of liquid True Yuan had already condensed inside Zhao Letian, but he was still only a half-step into the True Martial Realm. It was only when all the liquid True Yuan droplets merged together, forming a large mass of liquid True Yuan that he would truly breakthrough to the True Martial Realm.
Under the guidance of the Cultivation Method, the endless Primordial Energy in his meridians continuously merged into the Qi Sea, condensing into droplets of liquid True Yuan. Soon, the amount of liquid True Yuan droplets in Zhao Letian's Qi Sea was as vast as the stars in the sky, exuding robust power.
When Zhao Letian felt that the number of liquid True Yuan droplets could not increase any further, he suddenly shouted and mobilized the Cultivation Method, drawing all the liquid True Yuan droplets towards the center in a frenzy. Suddenly, those endless droplets of True Yuan, like stars, began to orbit around the center of the Qi Sea and swiftly contracted, gradually merging into a larger mass of liquid True Yuan.
Soon, all the True Yuan droplets merged together, forming a fist-sized mass of liquid True Yuan.
"True Martial One!" Zhao Letian's face revealed a trace of joy, indicating that he had finally officially broken through to the True Martial Realm.
What made him even happier was that at the moment of the breakthrough, the subsequent Cultivation Method of the "Mystic Armor Power Techniques" naturally emerged from his inherited memories. This would allow condensation of up to six layers of Mystic Armor Power, cultivating to the peak of True Martial Ninth Realm, and even breaking through the True Martial Realm to reach higher realms. Also, the rank of "Mystic Armor Power Techniques" had elevated to the middle stage of the Dark Level.
However, even after the breakthrough, he did not relax since there was still a massive amount of Primordial Energy rampaging in his meridians, making him extremely uncomfortable unless absorbed.
Thus, after the breakthrough, Zhao Letian did not immediately stand up, but continued to cultivate, frantically absorbing the large amount of Primordial Energy in his meridians, rapidly climbing in his cultivation level.
At the same time, Liu Wei and the Star Sea Five Tigers finally caught up.
"Oh my God, what exactly happened here?"
Looking ahead, everyone saw that within a few hundred meters of the forest, it had almost been flattened, with trees cut in half by Sword Qi scattered around, leaves strewn everywhere, and many deep trenches on the ground left by the sweeping Sword Qi, not to mention several corpses nearby. It was evident that a fierce battle had occurred here not long ago.
Fortunately, although the scene was in disarray, Zhao Letian appeared unharmed, still cultivating within the Array Formation Barrier, causing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.
"The Mantis was killed by someone." Liu Wei furrowed her brows as she noticed a mantis dissected not far away.
"It must have been done by these dead guys, otherwise the master wouldn't have killed them," said Da Hu.
"Big brother, True Martial Realm demon beasts could appear here at any moment. With our strength, staying here is too dangerous. What should we do next?" Er Hu asked, vigilantly scanning the surrounding dense forest.
"We can't leave even if it's dangerous. The master seems to be at a critical moment in his cultivation, otherwise, he wouldn't stay here. As his followers, we should protect the master's safety. Weiwei, you have the lowest cultivation; stand in the middle of us," Da Hu stated resolutely.
"Okay, I'll listen to Big Brother," Er Hu and the others nodded, then positioned Liu Wei in the middle, standing beside the Mysterious Dragon Formation.
"Come on in," Suddenly, Zhao Letian's voice emerged from within the formation, and the Qi shield opened a gap.
He had already broken through to the True Martial Realm and didn't need to be fully immersed in cultivation. He was fully cognizant of what was happening outside.
"That's great!" The group immediately showed delight on their faces and hurried into the Array Formation Barrier. With this formation's protection, they were much safer.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Right after everyone entered the Array Formation Barrier, a flurry of whizzing sounds suddenly erupted.
"Are there so many mantises?"
The group followed the sound and were instantly horrified. They saw a large swarm of green mantises flying over them, surrounding the dead mantis and then fixing their fierce eyes on the people inside the Array Formation Barrier.
"Could they be seeking revenge for that killed mantis?" Liu Wei said nervously. Although they were inside the formation, there were hundreds of mantises outside. If they attacked in turns, it was uncertain whether the formation could withstand it.

"It looks very likely," Da Hu said, despondently.
Suddenly, an exceptionally loud piercing cry resounded. Everyone turned to the direction of the sound, only to see a red mantis, with flames over its body like a king descending, flying from afar, hovering over those mantises.
"A Mutated Spiritual Beast, Fiery Flame Mantis?"
The crowd was taken aback. This red mantis, emitting flames and exuding a powerful aura of the True Martial Realm, was the rumored mutated demon beast whose strength was far beyond ordinary demon beasts of the same tier.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Following the Fiery Flame Mantis's shrill cry, the hundreds of green mantises at the peak of Primordial Martial Ninth Realm swarmed over and, with their forelimbs resembling blades, furiously slashed at the Array Formation Barrier, causing it to violently shake.
