41: The disciples went crazy killing

The True Immortal-level Asura War General’s three lava heads were bellowed at by Lin Xuan’s Great Might Heavenly Dragon, smoking profusely and almost crashing on the spot! The demonic energy he had condensed stalled!

Would Lin Xuan let this opportunity slip?

“Die, you bastard!”

Lin Xuan pushed with both hands! The Chaos Nirvana Divine Fire orb, which he had been rubbing in his palm for a long time, was dull gray and flickered with white flames. It shot out and smashed into the Asura War General’s largest, middle head!

The Asura War General was furious! He swung his six arms in full circles, bringing down a giant sword burning with demonic flames, a giant hammer dripping with corrosive liquid, and a bone whip wrapped with poisonous thorns, all at once! He wanted to smash the fire orb away!

Hiss!

The fire orb collided with the giant sword! There was no earth-shattering explosion! The seemingly ferocious demonic flame giant sword, upon contact with the grayish-white flames, was like an ice pop touching a branding iron! It melted instantly! The fire orb’s speed didn’t decrease, and it crashed into the giant hammer! The giant hammer also disintegrated! The poisonous thorn bone whip lashed out, and with a hiss, it burned into two sections of green smoke!

The fire orb, so unreasonably, forcefully burned through all obstacles and violently slammed into the mouth of the Asura War General’s middle lava head!

Time seemed to freeze for a second.

Then—

Boom boom boom boom—!

That lava head, along with half of its shoulder, was instantly engulfed by the grayish-white Divine Fire erupting from within! Destructive high temperatures and violent Nirvana power frantically tore and annihilated! The blinding light made the entire dim Heavenly Abyss as bright as day! A terrifying shockwave, mixed with the Asura War General’s severed limbs and lava fragments, swept out like a tsunami!

“Retreat!” Lin Xuan was already prepared; the Chaos Barrier instantly expanded, protecting an area behind him.

The shockwave swept across the battlefield! The bugs that were close by and tearing at the cultivators suffered greatly! They were instantly vaporized by the high temperature, torn apart by the shockwave, and smashed into meat patties by the splashing lava! A large area was cleared! Even several small bug nests were sent flying and shattered upon impact!

The light dissipated.

Only the Asura War General’s massive, mutilated body, missing its middle head and half of its torso, remained! The broken edges were charred black, and the lingering grayish-white flames still sizzled, preventing flesh regeneration! The other two heads let out shrill, desperate, distorted roars, and the remaining four arms flailed wildly, their aura plummeting! Severely wounded and on the verge of death!

Silence!

Dead silence!

The million-strong army was dumbfounded! The True Immortal-level powerhouse, who had just been destroying heaven and earth, was smashed into half-crippled by the Palace Master with a single fire orb?!

“What are you standing around for?!” Lin Xuan’s roar was like a clap of thunder. “My little ones! Go grab the kills! Strip the equipment! Dismantle this half-body! Don’t waste the materials for refining artifacts and pills!”

Boom!

After a brief silence, there was an even more frenzied outburst!

“Go grab the kills!”

“True Immortal-level materials! I’m going to get rich!”

“Charge! Don’t let those two heads escape!”

The eyes of the million disciples turned red! They were more excited than seeing a spirit stone mine! Led by their respective commanders, like a school of sharks smelling blood, they howled and rushed towards the severely wounded, dying Asura War General’s remains!

Yun Qingyao’s Sword Qi was like a rainbow, striking directly at one of the lava heads!

Leng Yuechan became one with her sword, thrusting towards the eye socket of the other head!

Feng Qiqi led her Divine Fire Army, specifically burning the residual flames at the broken edges!

Chu Xinghe commanded the formation masters, using Chaos Chains to tightly bind the wildly flailing arms!

Linglong’s Demonic Sound Sect poured mental pollution into the wound!

Kong Ming led his monk group, surrounding the broken edges to chant sutras for the residual demonic energy!

Ye Chen and Mo Sha, with their respective subordinates, were like ants gnawing at an elephant, frantically hacking at the relatively intact carapace and limbs!

Even Lietian charged up, gnawing fiercely at a severed leg! True Immortal-level flesh, a great tonic!

The Asura War General’s remaining two heads let out desperate wails, struggling frantically, spewing demonic flames and venom! But under the fearless siege of the million-strong demolition team, like a giant beast caught in a spiderweb, its struggles became increasingly feeble! Finally, its brain core was pierced by Yun Qingyao’s Moonlight Sword Qi, and its demonic heart was shredded by Leng Yuechan’s Nirvana Sword Intent, completely silencing it!

Boom!

The massive remains crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust!

“We won!”

Earth-shattering cheers echoed throughout the Heavenly Abyss! The million cultivators were like it was New Year’s Day! Some dug for materials, others dismantled bones, and even the flowing asura magic crystal blood was collected in specially made jade bottles! These were True Immortal-level treasures!

Lin Xuan didn’t join the commotion. He floated in mid-air, his Law-Breaking Chaos Eyes scanning the chaotic battlefield and the depths of the demonic mist in the distance. Taking down a True Immortal-level general was just the beginning; there were definitely stronger guys deeper in this Heavenly Abyss. But for now… “My little ones! Well done!” Lin Xuan’s voice spread across the battlefield. “This half-body of Asura scum is our All Heavens Star Palace’s opening success! The spoils of war will be distributed according to merit! For the fallen brothers, compensation will be doubled! For the living, everyone will be rewarded!”

“Palace Master is mighty!” The cheers grew even louder.

“Chu Xinghe!”

“Here, Master!” Chu Xinghe emerged from a pile of Asura bones, covered in dust, clutching a lava horn thicker than himself.

“Stop holding that broken horn! Get to work!” Lin Xuan said irritably. “Centered on the corpse of this Asura scum! Set up the Great Circulatory Star Chaos Formation for me! Encircle this area for me! Build it into our first bridgehead in the Heavenly Abyss! We’ll call it Po Luo City!”

“Understood! I guarantee it will be as solid as gold!” Chu Xinghe’s eyes lit up, and he immediately called the formation masters to start working. The dismantled Asura bones, insect nest fragments, and various ores all became materials for the formation! A massive fortress, relying on the Asura remains and insect nest ruins, radiating chaotic light, began to rise at a visible speed!

“Su Yuan!”

“Master!” Su Yuan appeared beside Lin Xuan like a ghost, his deduction compass flickering with light.

“Send your people out! Centered on Po Luo City, thoroughly scout out the distribution of insect nests, Asura strongholds, resource points, and weak spatial points within a million-li radius! Draw it into a map! Update it in real-time!”

“Yes!” Su Yuan accepted the order and, with the Heaven's Calculation Pavilion members, merged into the demonic mist like drops of water.

“Everyone else!” Lin Xuan looked down. “Po Luo City is our new home! A Merit Hall will be established in the city! Killing bugs! Slaying Asuras! Exploring maps! Finding resources! All count as merit! Merit can be exchanged for cultivation techniques! For pills! For magic treasures! For opportunities to be personally guided by your Master!”

“Roar!” This completely ignited everyone’s enthusiasm! This wasn’t a battlefield; this was a large-scale real-life dungeon raid!

With the orders given, the entire outer perimeter of the Heavenly Abyss completely transformed into a bustling construction site and hunting ground!

Po Luo City was built at an astonishing speed under Chu Xinghe’s command. Asura bones served as the city wall framework, insect nest carapaces as bricks and tiles, and chaotic evil energy mixed with starlight as adhesive. The formation masters were busy, with various defensive, spirit-gathering, concealment, and offensive formations layered one upon another. A ferocious, rugged, steel fortress, radiating chaos and destructive aura, sprawled like a giant beast at the entrance of the Heavenly Abyss!

Inside the city, the Merit Hall’s framework had just been set up when it was swamped by surging crowds! The disciples responsible for registration and exchange were sweating profusely. Various insect crystals, insect carapaces, Asura bone fragments, demonic blood, and even some strange Heavenly Abyss ores and spirit herbs were continuously handed in and exchanged for merit points. On the Merit Board, names and numbers flickered wildly!

Outside the city, it was even more insane!

The million-strong army dispersed into countless hunting teams, guided by Su Yuan’s “Heavenly Abyss Newbie Guide” map, howling and rushing towards the marked leveling spots!

“Brothers! West District, No. 3 Insect Nest! Primarily Golden Core-level Blade Mantises, seeking powerful sword cultivators for crowd control! Fire mages prioritized!”

“South side, Black Stone Canyon! Discovered a small Asura patrol team! Five Nascent Soul-levelMiscellaneous soldiers! Need a brother who knows formations to block the entrance! DPS, come quickly!”

“North side, Stinking Swamp! Rare medicinal herb, Demonic Heart Grass, found! But it’s guarded by a Soul Transformation early-stage Corrupt Swamp Crocodile Dragon! Seeking tank! Seeking healer!”

“East District, holy crap! Discovered a large demonic iron ore vein! But it’s occupied by a group of Nascent Soul-peak Gold-Devouring Beetles! Brothers who refine artifacts! Team up to mine and chop bugs!”

Various team-up shouts rose and fell in the temporary communication array. The disciples were like they were on steroids, bursting with astonishing combat power for merit and resources. In the midst of bloody battles, their cultivation levels soared!

Lin Xuan’s disciples were even more in their element, each leading elites to clear out more dangerous core areas.

Yun Qingyao and Leng Yuechan formed the Ice and Fire Twin Evils, specifically targeting Void Refinement-level insect commanders and isolated Asura soldiers. Moonlight froze, Nirvana Sword Intent killed, working in perfect synergy, yielding huge rewards. Leng Yuechan’s Nirvana Sword Intent became even purer and more condensed, showing faint signs of breaking through to the late Void Refinement stage.

Feng Qiqi led her Divine Fire Army, plunging into the scorched lava zone deep within the Heavenly Abyss. That area was rich in fire elemental energy, but also infested with a large number of fire-attributed insectoids and Asuras. Qi Qi’s Chaos Nirvana Divine Fire, after devouring a large amount of homologous flames, even took on a hint of grayish, chaotic feel, and its power surged!

Linglong and Kong Ming, this rival pair, one creating chaos with demonic sounds, the other physically transcending with Buddha's Light, specifically targeted insect swarms with weak spiritual power, with extremely high efficiency. Kong Ming’s Buddhist Heart, after transcending countless insect souls and demonic energy, became even more solidified with golden light.

Ye Chen and Mo Sha, two battle maniacs, led their respective subordinates, forming a destructive duo, appearing and disappearing like ghosts in the demonic mist, specializing in sneak attacks and assassinations, collecting a large number of precious asura magic crystal and insect king materials.

Su Yuan, on the other hand, was stationed at the central hub of Po Luo City, his deduction compass working day and night, constantly updating the Heavenly Abyss map and intelligence, while also directing Heaven's Calculation Pavilion members to infiltrate, attempting to uncover deeper secrets.

Lin Xuan himself wasn’t idle. He was stationed in the core hall of Po Luo City, simultaneously digesting the insights from previous battles and using his Law-Breaking Chaos Eyes to monitor the overall situation, occasionally intervening to deal with some hard-headed individuals who dared to intrude. More often, he was studying the massive, still faintly pulsating Asura King Heart that was dug out from the Asura War General’s heart position! This item, containing destructive essence and pure demonic essence, greatly benefited his integration with the Chaos Demonic Fetus!

In just half a month!

Po Luo City was fully formed! Its city walls were towering, its formations strict, becoming the most solid fortress for the million disciples in the Heavenly Abyss!

The outer perimeter of the Heavenly Abyss, covering a million-li territory, was completely swept clean! Insect nests were leveled! Asura strongholds were eradicated! Resource points were adorned with the flags of the All Heavens Star Palace!

The million disciples, having undergone the baptism of blood and fire, saw their overall strength soar! Countless Foundation Establishment cultivators became Golden Core, and Golden Core cultivators advanced to Nascent Soul! Even the outer sect saw the emergence of a group of powerful Soul Transformation stage individuals!

The disciples reaped even greater rewards! Yun Qingyao and Leng Yuechan both broke through to the late Void Refinement stage! Feng Qiqi’s Chaos Nirvana Divine Fire achieved minor completion! Kong Ming’s Merit Golden Wheel phantom became much more solid! Even Lin Xuan himself, after refining a portion of the Asura King Heart, completely stabilized his mid-Mahayana realm, his aura becoming even more unfathomable!

On this day, Lin Xuan was in the main hall studying how to refine the Asura King Heart into the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation Diagram when Su Yuan rushed in, his expression grave:

“Master! The Heaven's Calculation Pavilion’s latest intelligence! There’s unusual activity deep within the Heavenly Abyss!”

“Our infiltrating scouts discovered that in a Burial God Demonic Land region, approximately three million li from Po Luo City, spatial fluctuations are abnormally intense! It’s suspected that a super-large spatialaisle is opening! And an extremely terrifying Asura aura is reviving! Far exceeding the previous True Immortal-level general! It might be a King-level!”

“Asura King-level?” Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed, but instead of fear, a hint of excitement flashed within them. “Finally, a big fish has arrived!”

“Notify everyone!”

“Po Luo City is to enter Level One combat readiness!”

“All hunting teams outside, withdraw within three days!”

“Qing Yao, Yue Chan, Qi Qi, everyone above Void Refinement, come with me to the Burial God Demonic Land!”

“We’re going to meet this Asura King!”

Lin Xuan abruptly stood up, an awe-inspiring battle intent mixed with the terrifying pressure of his mid-Mahayana stage swept through the hall!
