151: Northern Underworld Domain, Heavenly Feather Holy Land!

When they saw their direct superior, the immensely powerful Steward Lin Feng in their eyes, now being firmly pressed to the ground by the human emperor seal like a dead dog...

Everyone's mind went blank with a buzzing sound.

"The Steward... lost?"

"Lost so quickly? So thoroughly?!"

In the distance, those mine slaves who were originally gloating all opened their mouths wide, their eyes bulging as if they had seen a ghost!

They rubbed their eyes hard, confirming they hadn't misread the situation.

That Steward Lin, who usually acted tyrannical and treated them like pigs and dogs.

Had actually been suppressed by someone in a single move!

Moreover, the opponent was just a newcomer who had just "Ascension" from the Lower Realm!

"I... I didn't see that wrong, did I? Steward Lin, he..."

"Heavens! This newcomer... what kind of monster is he?!"

"He... he actually hit the supervisor! And beat him so miserably!"

After a brief silence, an irrepressible commotion erupted within the mining field!

In the eyes of countless mine slaves, the grayness that had long been dead actually rekindled a faint spark!

That was a spark named "Hope"!

On the plaza, Lin Feng, who was suppressed on the ground, was shocked and angry, fearful and hateful!

He struggled with all his might, only to find that the purple-gold Seal pressing on him was as heavy as a divine mountain, and no matter how he channeled his magic power, it wouldn't budge at all!

Humiliation! An unprecedented, utter humiliation!

He, a dignified outer sect deacon of the Tianyu Holy Land and a powerhouse at the Nascent Soul Stage Late Phase, was actually suppressed on the ground by a native from the Lower Realm in front of tens of thousands of mine slaves!

If this got out, how could he, Lin Feng, continue to exist in the future?!

"You... you dare to touch me?! I am a deacon of the Tianyu Holy Land! You are dead! Your whole Family is dead!"

Lin Feng spat blood foam, roaring with a fierce exterior but cowardly interior.

At the same time, one of his hands, pressed underneath, quietly reached into his bosom, wanting to crush that Jade Slip for help!

As long as he could send the message out! As long as the Holy Land experts descended! He would make this ignorant fellow before him unable to live or die!

However, how could his little movements be hidden from Chen Xu?

Just as he was about to touch the Jade Slip, "Noisy."

Chen Xu snorted coldly, and an invisible surge of Mental Energy, like thousands of steel needles, instantly pierced into Lin Feng's mind!

"Ah!!!" Lin Feng's Divine Soul, as if being subjected to death by a thousand cuts, let out a scream!

All his movements came to an abrupt halt! He curled up on the ground, convulsing violently, with black blood flowing from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

Chen Xu slowly walked in front of him, raised his foot, and stomped hard onto his bloody, mangled face.

Crack! A crisp sound of bone breaking rang out. Lin Feng's skull was directly crushed and collapsed from this stomp!

Chen Xu looked down from above, overlooking the life squirming like a maggot at his feet, his tone indifferent and devoid of any emotion.

"Now, who is the ant?"

Chen Xu's voice echoed across the silent plaza. Lin Feng stopped screaming, he raised those bloodshot, fearful eyes, looking at Chen Xu before him, his body trembling like chaff.

Devil! This is a true devil!

Just at the moment Chen Xu completely controlled Lin Feng, his brows suddenly furrowed slightly.

His powerful Divine Sense, which had already broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage Late Phase, clearly sensed at this moment that in the far distance of the mine, three terrifying auras, several times, even ten times stronger than Lin Feng, were being stirred by the commotion here!

Moreover, they were rushing towards here at an extremely fast speed! Two of them were at the Early Void Refining Stage! And the strongest one had actually reached the level of the Refining Void Mid-Stage!

Not good! Must leave immediately!

Thinking of this, a trace of gravity flashed in Chen Xu's eyes. He had no doubt that if he were entangled by these three, he and the entire Chen Family would be doomed today!

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Xu exerted force with his foot, completely crushing Lin Feng's skull.

Afterwards, he bent down and grabbed Lin Feng's bloody, mangled head, lifting it up from the ground as if holding a dead dog.

"Soul Search!"

A flash of purple light appeared in Chen Xu's eyes, and his vast Divine Sense at the Nascent Soul Stage Late Phase instantly poured into Lin Feng's mind!

"Ah—!" Lin Feng let out a scream, his whole body convulsing even more violently. His Divine Soul, in front of Chen Xu's violent Divine Sense, had absolutely no power to resist. It was instantly torn into pieces!

Massive amounts of information surged into Chen Xu's mind like a tide! Tianyu Holy Land! One of the Seven Great Holy Lands of the Beiming Domain!

Its sphere of influence was so vast that it almost covered a small half of the Beiming Domain, controlling 3,700 lower-level planes like the "Sin Blood Realm"!

These planes, besides being mostly cages, were what they called spiritual mines. And the living beings in the planes were spiritual slaves to be harvested at will!

And those non-cage planes... the so-called Ascension was merely a means for them to screen for high-quality slaves!

Every hundred years, they would open the so-called "Immortal Ascension Gate". They would trick those Lower Realm Cultivators who struggled bitterly in despair, barely managed to Cultivate to the peak, and thought they could ascend to the heavens in one step, to this place.

Then, they would put on slave Seals, strip away their dignity, and make them labor day and night in this boundless mining field for at least a thousand years before being released!

And the No. 72 Mining Field where Chen Xu and the others were located was merely the most remote and inconspicuous one among the thousands of mining fields of the Tianyu Holy Land! Deep in this mining field, there were three Void Refining Elders stationed year-round!

Upon seeing this, a monstrous rage exploded from the bottom of Chen Xu's heart!

What a fine Tianyu Holy Land! What a fine Upper Realm immortal sect! This was absolutely not some immortal Holy Land. It was a devil's den that used worlds as pastures and billions of living beings as livestock!

Just at this moment, in the distant sky, three streaks of light of different colors, like three meteors tearing through the firmament, carrying the terrifying pressure of destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth, sped towards the direction of the plaza!

Before the people arrived, that Void Refining power, enough to make space solidify, had already firmly locked onto every person on the plaza!

"It's over! It's the three Elders!" For a moment, many slaves in the mining field changed color drastically! And the members of the Chen Family also had ugly expressions... as if falling into an ice cellar!

Void Refining! That was a terrifying existence that surpassed Soul Transformation, truly able to roam the Void Realm, pluck stars and grasp the moon! Facing such a Cultivator... they couldn't even generate the thought of resisting!

Escape? Under the Divine Sense lock of a Void Refining expert, where could they escape to? Everyone's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

However, at this desperate moment, Chen Xu made a move that everyone found unexpected!

Not only did he not run away, but instead, in front of everyone, facing those three rapidly approaching terrifying streaks of light, he lifted the already brain-dead Lin Feng in his hand high up!

"This is..." Chen Xu's voice, like rolling thunder, resounded throughout the entire mining field! "The consequence of bullying my Chen Family!"

The moment his voice fell, his five fingers exerted force suddenly! Bang! A muffled sound! Lin Feng's head, like a watermelon being squeezed to burst. Red and white instantly exploded!

His Divine Soul was even more thoroughly annihilated by the Primordial Violet Qi surging from Chen Xu's palm. Not even a trace of residue was left!

The dignified outer sect deacon of the Tianyu Holy Land, a powerhouse at the Nascent Soul Stage Late Phase, was just like that, by a newcomer who "Ascension" from the Lower Realm, in front of tens of thousands of mine slaves and three soon-to-arrive Void Refining Elders, like garbage, had his Divine Soul squeezed to burst!

At this moment, the whole world seemed to have stilled. Everyone was completely shocked by this violent action of Chen Xu to the extreme!

Madman! This is a complete and utter madman!

On the distant mining field, those tens of thousands of mine slaves who had originally become numb all stared blankly at the tall, upright figure in the center of the plaza, the flame in their eyes that had been extinguished for who knows how many ten thousand years, at this moment, was completely ignited!

Killed! He actually really killed the supervisor! How many years has it been? How many years has it been since anyone dared to resist the Tianyu Holy Land?

Many of them were once the pride of their respective worlds. They were masters of a realm, Old Ancestors of a sect! But after coming here, all their dignity, all their backbone, had been completely worn away!

They dared not resist, because the consequence of resistance was worse than death! But today, this newcomer who had just ascended used this way to tell them. So, the high and mighty supervisors could also die! So, their necks were just as fragile!

"Hahaha! Well killed! Well killed!" An old mine slave with white hair and wearing shackles suddenly laughed up at the sky.

"I've had enough! It's death either way, to see this scene before dying, it's worth it!"

His laughter seemed to ignite a powder keg!

"That's right! Fight them!" "I won't dig anymore! Even if I die, I won't be a beast of burden for this group of animals!" "Charge! Kill one to break even, kill two to make a profit!"

The rage that had been suppressed for ages, at this moment, completely erupted!

Just at this moment, Chen Xu's voice rang out again, like a spark starting a prairie fire, completely detonating the whole scene!

"Those who want to live!" "Run now!" "Run as many as you can!"

Boom!!! This sentence became the last straw that broke the camel's back! The entire mining field instantly rioted!

"Roar!" Tens of thousands of Cultivators who had been oppressed for countless years, at this moment, all went crazy!

Like a flood breaking a dam, they frantically launched a suicidal charge from all directions of the mining field towards those guarding soldiers and towards the Restriction light screen that covered the entire mining field!

The entire No. 72 Mining Field instantly turned into a bloody Shura field! The situation was completely out of control!

"You brat! How dare you!" Above the sky, three streaks of light had already descended, turning into three white-haired, white-bearded old men wearing Daoist robes.

When they saw Lin Feng, whose Divine Soul had been completely squeezed to burst, and the riot scene below that was like a purgatory, the three men's faces simultaneously revealed monstrous rage!

They had guarded this place for thousands of years, when had such a vile thing ever happened? This was simply slapping their Tianyu Holy Land in the face in front of the entire Beiming Domain!

The old man at the Refining Void Mid-Stage in the center, his gaze like lightning, instantly locked onto Chen Xu in the center of the plaza! "It is you little beast who is courting death!"

He let out an angry shout, and without the slightest hesitation, raised his hand and brought down a palm strike!

Rumble—!

A massive cyan palm, entirely condensed from mana and capable of blotting out the sky, appeared out of thin air!

Chains of Law coiled around the giant palm, exuding a terrifying aura capable of obliterating everything!

This palm strike completely sealed off the space for a hundred miles around, as if intending to crush Chen Xu and the members of the Chen Family behind him into dust!

A Void Refining powerhouse, in a fit of rage, changes the color of the world!

Facing this world-destroying blow!

There was not a shred of fear in Chen Xu's eyes; instead, a flash of determination crossed them!

This was the moment he had been waiting for!

The reason he had brutally killed Lin Feng in public and incited the mine slaves to riot was precisely to create chaos and seize this brief moment of respite!

"Go!"

Chen Xu shouted explosively, his mind stirring!

A compass flew out from between his brows!

It was the compass formed from the [Cross-Realm Teleportation Formation Map] rewarded by the System!

The moment the compass appeared, Chen Xu frantically injected the Spirit Realm star map he had just obtained from soul-searching Lin Feng's memory, along with a set of coordinates he had long selected, into the compass!

—Beiming Wilderness!

That was the most chaotic and dangerous area in the entire Beiming Heavenly Domain, a lawless zone.

It was also the only place capable of avoiding the pursuit of the Holy Lands!

Hum—!

The compass flared with brilliant light, and a profound power of space erupted violently!

An extremely unstable spatial rift slowly opened in front of the compass!

However, to open such an ultra-long-distance teleportation, the power of the compass alone was far from sufficient!

Moreover, the heaven-shaking palm print above, capable of destroying everything, had already descended!

"human emperor seal! Hold it for me!"

Chen Xu roared, the purple-gold light between his brows shining to the extreme!

That purple-gold jade Seal, which had already promoted to an Innate Spirit Treasure and fused with his Primordial Spirit, flew out with a boom!

"Roar—!"

Nine ten-thousand-foot divine dragons roared out as the human emperor seal swelled against the wind, transforming into a purple-gold divine mountain that propped up the heavens and earth, actively meeting the cyan giant palm descending from the sky!

At the same time, Chen Xu did not hesitate in the slightest and abruptly opened his mouth!

Pfft!

A mouthful of Origin blood essence was fiercely sprayed onto the pitch-black compass!

Boom!

Having received the boost from Chen Xu's Origin blood essence, the compass trembled violently as if it had consumed a potent tonic!

The spatial rift, which was originally only the size of a person, was instantly forced open to ten zhang wide.

Inside, colorful spatial turbulence swirled, emitting a terrifying aura that made one's heart palpitate!

"Now! Everyone, go in!"

Chen Xu let out a roar to the people behind him!

Rumble—!!!

At that very moment, above in the sky, the cyan palm blotting out the sky collided fiercely with the purple-gold divine mountain formed by the human emperor seal!

A terrifying, thunderous sound, capable of shattering the Primordial Spirit of any Nascent Soul Cultivator, exploded!

Crack!

Even though the human emperor seal was an Innate Spirit Treasure, it was still unable to withstand the furious blow of a Refining Void Mid-Stage powerhouse!

Clear cracks appeared on the purple-gold divine mountain!

The nine golden imperial dragons let out a roar, their light instantly dimming!

Pfft!

Chen Xu was struck as if by lightning and spewed another mouthful of blood.

But, borrowing this terrifying recoil force, he whipped his wide sleeves.

A gentle force swept up Chen Daoxuan, Murong Zhuyun, Bu Yifan, and the others, sending them all into the spatial rift at once!

"Little beast! Don't even think about escaping!"

High above, the Refining Void Mid-Stage Elder saw this and, consumed by rage, struck down with his palm again!

However, it was already too late!

After sending everyone into the passage, Chen Xu's figure flickered, and he rushed into the twisted light and shadow himself!

The moment his figure disappeared, the massive cyan palm descended with a boom!

Boom!

The entire white plaza, along with the spatial passage that had just closed, was smashed into a bottomless crater by this palm strike!

Inside the spatial passage, endless darkness and colorful spatial turbulence frantically scoured everyone's bodies.

Chen Xu forced himself to endure his injuries, channeling the little remaining Primordial Violet Qi in his body to form a massive barrier, firmly protecting everyone.

But he was, after all, too heavily injured, and having forcibly opened the cross-realm teleportation, he was already at the end of his tether.

Pfft!

An incredibly sharp spatial fragment swept past silently, slashing fiercely into Chen Xu's back!

A terrifying wound was instantly carved into Chen Xu's back!

Golden blood sprayed wildly!

"Husband!"

"Father!"

Everyone cried out in alarm!

Chen Xu only felt the world go black before his eyes, his consciousness beginning to blur, and with it, the Primordial barrier protecting everyone began to flicker and teeter on the verge of collapse!

Just as he was about to lose consciousness completely, a glimmer of light finally appeared in the darkness ahead!

The exit was here!

Chen Xu used his last bit of strength to shove everyone towards that light!

The next moment, the group fell from mid-air like kites with broken strings.

Boom!

Over a hundred figures were thrown out of the spatial rift in a pathetic state, slamming heavily onto a desolate Gobi desert.

This fall caused many of the Chen Family members with weaker cultivation to grunt in pain, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

The sky was an oppressive, gray expanse, devoid of sun or clouds.

Fierce winds whipped up sand and gravel, scraping against their faces like knives, and the Spiritual Qi permeating the air was chaotic and violent, causing their Meridians to ache faintly with every breath.

"Cough, cough…"

Chen Xu struggled to crawl up from the ground, but as soon as he moved, a heart-wrenching, agonizing pain shot from his back.

From the wound extending from his left shoulder to his lower back, blood gushed out, soaking his black robe completely.

"Husband!"

"Father!"

Chen Daoxuan, Bu Yifan, Qin Rouer, and the others cried out in alarm and rushed over, their eyes instantly reddening at the sight of the hideous wound on his back.

"I'm fine."

Chen Xu waved his hand, signaling them to be at ease.

Before his voice even faded, the Primordial Chaos Nascent Soul within him began to operate on its own, and purple-gold light flowed over the wound.

The terrifying injury began to heal rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the bleeding quickly stopped.

This was the terrifying restorative power of the Primordial Chaos Nascent Soul; as long as he was not destroyed body and soul on the spot, even the most severe injuries could be recovered.

He looked around, his Divine Sense quickly sweeping over everyone.

"How is everyone?"

"Father, we are all fine, just some superficial wounds."

Chen Daoxuan stood up, brushed the dust off his body, but his face was filled with lingering fear and relief.

The others also indicated that they were unharmed.

Under Chen Xu's protection, other than being somewhat disheveled from the fall, they were almost completely unscathed.

Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, the heart Chen Xu had been holding in his throat finally settled.

Just at this moment, the System notification tone rang out in his mind!

【Ding! Detected that the Host has led Family members to establish prestige in the Upper Realm for the first time and successfully escaped the pursuit of Tianyu Holy Land!】

【Family morale has been greatly boosted, and cohesion is unprecedented! Calculating rewards...】

【Congratulations to the Host, you have received rewards: one Top-Grade Spiritual Vein (sealed), one set of Fifth-Order Formation Plate!】

The rewards had arrived!

Chen Xu's heart stirred, and a transparent bead the size of a dragon's eye, along with a palm-sized Formation Plate engraved with profound formation runes, appeared in his hand out of thin air.

Top-Grade Spiritual Vein!

This was a supreme treasure capable of causing bloody storms even in the Spirit Realm!

With it, the Chen Family would have the Foundation to establish themselves in this Spirit Realm!

And that Fifth-Order Formation Plate was an even greater trump card for survival; as long as there was sufficient energy, it would be enough for them to escape from a Void Refining powerhouse again!

Chen Xu put away the two treasures, and the gloom in his heart was swept away.

However, when he looked up, he saw his son, Chen Daoxuan, clenching his fists tightly, his eyes blood-red, his face filled with humiliation and unwillingness.

"Father, your son is incompetent!"

Chen Daoxuan's voice was hoarse, carrying a trace of trembling: "If it weren't for my weak strength, you wouldn't have had to…"

He could not forget the feeling of powerlessness on the plaza of Tianyu Holy Land, where he could not even defeat one of their guards.

He could not forget even more that his father had forcibly withstood a blow from a Void Refining powerhouse to protect them.

"Slap!"

Chen Xu stepped forward and slapped Chen Daoxuan's shoulder heavily.

"Lift your head!"

Chen Daoxuan looked up abruptly, meeting Chen Xu's eyes.

"Remember today's feeling, remember this humiliation."

Chen Xu looked at him and said word by word, "This is not the Lower Realm; this is the Spirit Realm. Here, there is no reasoning to be had; whoever has the bigger fist makes the rules! Weakness is the original sin!"

"What Tianyu Holy Land gave us today, we must not only remember, but carve into our bones!"

Chen Xu's gaze swept over everyone, his voice becoming cold and domineering: "One day, I will personally lead you all to storm back to that Number 72 Mine, to storm back to that Tianyu Holy Land!"

"The humiliation of today, in the future, I will repay a hundredfold!"

This speech made the blood of all the Chen Family members present boil, and the pent-up frustration and fear in their hearts were swept away.

Replaced by monstrous Battle Intent!

Yes! Repay a hundredfold!

"Alright, this place is not suitable for a long stay."

Chen Xu changed the subject, his expression turning grave: "Although I used the formation map to temporarily shield the heavenly secrets, the means of a Void Refining powerhouse are far beyond our imagination; they will find us sooner or later."

"We must leave here as soon as possible and find a safe place to hide."

He could guess that Tianyu Holy Land must be furious at this moment, and a dragnet aimed at him had likely already been cast across the entire Beiming Heavenly Domain.

Hearing this, everyone dared not delay, immediately composing themselves and following behind Chen Xu, struggling forward in one direction.

This Gobi desert seemed endless; looking out, there was nothing but the gray sky and brown sand and stone.

The violent Spiritual Qi forced everyone to constantly circulate their mana to protect their bodies, consuming a vast amount.

They walked for about half a day.

"Rustle, rustle…"

A faint rubbing sound suddenly came from beneath the sand ahead.

"Careful!"

Chen Xu stopped abruptly, his gaze fixed on the seemingly calm surface of the sand.
