Their faces were all marked with unavoidable exhaustion and panic.“Found them!”
A demonic cultivator’s eyes flickered with greedy light.
“Boss, they are indeed here!”
“Kill!”
Another demonic cultivator, unable to restrain himself, turned into a black shadow and rushed forward.
The sinister middle-aged man finally lowered his last thread of vigilance.
Prey, right in front of them.
Fragments of the Heavenly Dao, within reach.
He ordered.
“Everyone attack, make it quick and decisive!”
Four demonic cultivators lunged simultaneously from four directions towards the three people in the center of the clearing.
They wore cruel smiles on their faces.
As if they could already envision the scene of the other party being torn to pieces.
However.
Just as they stepped into the clearing’s range, at that moment.
Luo Qingchen, who had been facing away from them all the time, slowly stood up.
He turned around.
His face showed no trace of panic or weakness.
Instead, it was replaced by a coldness, as if looking at a dead person, calmness.
“Welcome.”
Luo Qingchen softly uttered the words.
The sinister middle-aged man felt a crazy warning in his heart.
He realized he had been deceived.
But it was already too late.
Luo Qingchen raised his hand and lightly snapped his fingers.
Buzz!
The entire Crystal Jungle seemed to come to life at this moment.
Numerous crystal giant trees simultaneously burst forth with dazzling brilliance.
The light began to refract and reflect wildly on countless crystal surfaces.
In an instant.
In front of the four demonic cultivators, thousands upon thousands of Luo Qingchen appeared.
Every Luo Qingchen wore the same cold smile.
The simple maze formations set up earlier by Su Xiaowan were being amplified a thousandfold by this Crystal Jungle.
“Not good! It’s a trap!”
The sinister middle-aged man shouted fiercely.
The demonic qi within him exploded, attempting to break through this illusion.
But it was of no use.
This illusion wasn’t purely a formation.
It was a maze of light and shadow.
“Kill one first.”
Luo Qingchen’s icy voice seemed to come from all directions.
The first demonic cultivator felt a chill on his back suddenly.
He turned around sharply.
But saw nothing.
Whoosh!
A segment of grey, sword tip-like energy pierced through his chest.
He looked down incredulously at the blood hole in his chest.
He hadn’t even seen how the opponent had struck.
Vitality quickly dissipated.
His body fell heavily to the ground.
This was just the beginning.
“The second one.”
Luo Qingchen’s voice rang out once again.
Another demonic cultivator looked around in terror.
He pushed his protective demonic qi to its extreme.
Yet, the shadow beneath his feet suddenly twisted.
Luo Qingchen’s silhouette emerged silently, like growing out of the shadow, behind him.
Then essentially, delivering a simple palm strike.
Bang!
The demonic cultivator’s head exploded like a watermelon.
Red and white splattered everywhere.
This wasn’t about speed.
It was the initial use of space manipulation.
It was the new ability granted by the fragments of the Heavenly Dao.
“Number three! Number four!”
The sinister middle-aged man roared in fury.
In an instant, he lost two of his capable subordinates.
He crazily unleashed demonic qi towards all sides.
Trying to use indiscriminate attacks to force Luo Qingchen out.
Boom rumble!
Countless crystal giant trees were pulverized into dust by his demonic qi.
But more light and shadows were generated as a result.
The illusion became even more chaotic.
“Now it’s your turn.”
Luo Qingchen’s voice whispered beside the last demonic cultivator’s ear.
The demonic cultivator was so scared, he seemed to lose his soul.
He turned to flee.
But his body suddenly froze in place.
The space around him seemed to become a solid block of amber.
Keeping him shackled inside.
Luo Qingchen’s form slowly appeared from the air before him.
He extended a finger, gently pressing it on the demonic cultivator’s forehead.
“No!”
The demonic cultivator let out a desperate shriek.
The next second.
His shriek stopped abruptly.
His body began to shatter inch by inch from the forehead onward.
In the end, it turned into a handful of flying ash, drifting away with the wind.
On the clearing.
Only that sinister middle-aged man remained.
He looked at Luo Qingchen in terror.
He couldn’t understand.
Why the opponent’s power was so bizarre.
This simply wasn’t a method that a Golden Core Stage cultivator could possess.
“Who exactly are you?”
He roared, his voice fierce but his heart unnerved.
Luo Qingchen didn’t answer him.
He just quietly looked at him.
That gaze was like looking at an experiment that had lost its value.
The sinister middle-aged man felt an unprecedented fear.
He knew that today, he might die here.
But he was unwilling.
“You’ve forced me!”
A hint of madness and determination flashed in his eyes.
He forcefully slapped his chest.
Puff!
A large mouthful of essence blood spurted out.
The essence blood transformed in the air into bizarre blood-red runes.
His aura began to soar madly at that instant.
His body also became emaciated.
He was burning his life and vital essence.
“Blood Demon Disintegration! I want you dead!”
He roared, transforming into a streak of blood light, charging at Luo Qingchen.
This strike already had power infinitely close to the Nascent Soul Stage.
Luo Qingchen’s gaze finally showed a trace of gravity.
He did not dodge.
Instead, he also punched forward.
His fist was enveloped in a thick layer of gray chaotic power.
Boom!
The blood light and gray fist clashed fiercely together.
A terrifying energy storm swept through.
The surrounding crystal giant trees vanished in pieces.
Luo Qingchen groaned, his body sliding back dozens of meters.
A line of blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth.
He was injured.
After all, he had just acquired new power and couldn’t completely control it yet.
While the opponent had risked his life in a desperate strike.
“Hahaha! You are nothing more than this!”
The sinister middle-aged man laughed wildly upon seeing Luo Qingchen injured.
He thought he had seized the opportunity.
However.
Luo Qingchen merely raised his hand and wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth.
His gaze remained calm.
“It’s over.”
He said softly.
He extended a finger once more.
At his fingertip, the gray chaotic power condensed into an almost imperceptible singularity.
Then, he gently pointed it at the sinister middle-aged man.
The sinister middle-aged man’s smile froze instantly.
He felt that the wild blood demon power he unleashed had collided with an invisible wall.
No, not a wall.
It was a bottomless abyss.
All his strength was swallowed into that tiny gray singularity.
Without stirring the slightest ripple.
“What… what kind of power is this?”
He uttered the last question of his life.
Luo Qingchen had already appeared before him.
A palm struck his Dantian.
The sinister middle-aged man’s body jerked violently.
The demonic Qi within him, like a flood breaching a dam, was frantically absorbed into Luo Qingchen’s body.
Then, thoroughly devoured and refined by chaotic power.
“No… no!”
He could feel his life rapidly slipping away.
He knew he was completely defeated.
In the last moment of his consciousness fading away.
He used all his remaining strength to crush a black jade talisman he held dearly.
Crack!
The jade talisman shattered.
A barely perceptible black light shot skyward.
It pierced through the dome of the Crystal Jungle, streaking towards the endless indigo sky.
Eventually, it exploded high up in the sky.
Forming a fleeting skeletal mark.
Having completed this, a sinister gleam of malicious satisfaction flickered in the sinister middle-aged man’s eyes.
His body completely lost vitality and collapsed limply.
Luo Qingchen watched the signal disappearing into the horizon, his brow tightly furrowed.
He knew.
This was just the beginning.
Greater troubles were still to come.
“We have to leave now.”
Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan came to his side.
There was still a trace of lingering fear on their faces.
Luo Qingchen nodded.
He could feel.
In a faraway place, several even stronger auras had been startled by the signal just now.
