His divine sense quickly probed into the ring that the old man had given him, and sure enough, Nathaniel Carter found that there were some jade talismans inside the ring that he himself didn’t even recognize.

Ice talisman, thunder talisman, lightning talisman, arrow talisman...

Nathaniel Carter felt that the old man was not an ordinary person either, as there were quite a few talismans inside the ring.

Now Nathaniel Carter was a bit puzzled as to why the old man had also been captured.

Boom...

Boom...

The attacks all around became even fiercer, and the Abyssals had already searched to a place quite close to Nathaniel Carter.

Weapons infused with inner force struck the ground, and each blow created huge deep pits.

This was a very primitive method, but also the most direct one—so long as they struck the formation, the hidden array would be revealed.

After quickly familiarizing himself with the talisman array and the talismans, Nathaniel Carter mobilized all the power in his body.

The enemy now should have one Foundation Establishment cultivator, three at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining, and one at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Now Nathaniel Carter's main target was to keep an eye on that Foundation Establishment expert.

That was a burly man dressed in leather, holding a large hammer in his hand.

The Foundation Establishment brute kept smashing the hammer onto suspicious-looking spots, each strike sending force flying and rocks splintering.

Suddenly, the big hammer smashed toward a huge boulder beside Nathaniel Carter's formation.

At that moment!

Seeing the hammer coming down on the boulder, Nathaniel Carter knew his chance had come. Already prepared, Nathaniel Carter leapt out from the formation, several jade talismans pinched in his hands, and launched them at the Foundation Establishment expert in an offensive talisman array.

Seven-Star Talisman Array!

As the jade talismans were cast, they completely surrounded the burly man.

Thunderous explosions erupted one after another, each louder than the last.

This was a stacking-type talisman array. Normally, a single jade talisman’s attack wasn’t very strong, but as the power of the talismans stacked, the destructive force increased dozens of times.

After repeatedly using inner energy to swing the hammer, the Foundation Establishment Abyssal’s inner energy had dropped sharply. Just as he brought the hammer down again, his inner energy failed to gather, and at that moment, Nathaniel Carter's talisman array exploded.

Wave after wave of attacks completely engulfed him within the formation.

Because it was a talisman array, a single strike wasn’t enough to finish it. As the array operated, the continuous, stacking blows struck the Foundation Establishment expert again and again.

His defenses were instantly broken by the talisman array, and at that moment, Nathaniel Carter arrived wielding a broadsword.

He was waiting for the moment the opponent lost his defense. With a single slash from Nathaniel Carter's broadsword, before the enemy could react, his head had already flown far away.

After finishing this, Nathaniel Carter quickly retreated back into the formation.

Ah!

The Abyssals were utterly shocked, staring at the Foundation Establishment expert’s head that had fallen to the ground, completely unable to understand how such a thing could happen.

After all, Foundation Establishment experts were considered powerhouses on this battlefield!

Originally, Nathaniel Carter had retreated into the formation, but seeing the situation, he knew the opportunity would be fleeting. He immediately threw the remaining jade talismans from the ring at the Qi Refining ninth-level expert.

This time, there weren’t many talismans, so he couldn’t form an array—he simply hurled them at a single target.

The Qi Refining expert reacted, trying to put up a defense, but the talismans had already exploded.

The powerful blast sent the ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator tumbling backward.

Of course, Nathaniel Carter wouldn’t miss such a chance, and he swung his broadsword at the opponent again and again.

Draw the blade!

Strike!

Kill!

Each slash was relentless and deadly, every blow aimed at the opponent’s vital points.

The ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator panicked, trying to activate his defense, but the talisman’s attack had already severely damaged his internal organs.

A lightning talisman struck him squarely in the dantian, throwing his core into chaos—he couldn’t gather any inner energy at all.

Kill!

Nathaniel Carter's mind was filled with images of his fallen kin. Thinking of those living people who had died at the hands of these Abyssals, the power in his broadsword surged even more.

With a crunch, this ninth-level Qi Refining Abyssal was also slain by Nathaniel Carter.

Leaning on his broadsword, Nathaniel Carter stood there gasping for breath. After the continuous attacks, though he had killed two people, he felt a bit weak inside.

The entire wilderness fell silent, and everyone’s eyes turned to Nathaniel Carter, who now stood there like a fierce god.

Though he appeared somewhat weakened, for the first time, fear showed in the eyes of the Abyssals.

Taking several deep breaths, Nathaniel Carter found that the inner energy he had consumed so heavily was rapidly regenerating.

Strangely, all the acupoints and cells throughout his body were gathering large amounts of inner energy into his dantian.

Could it be that after his body was transformed, all his acupoints were also accumulating inner energy even in normal times?
