92: One person can form an army!

"This... This is..."

Heavenly Corpse Venerable looked up at the golden Divine Dragon that covered the sky and obscured the sun.

Feeling the terrifying Dragon Might that made his Nascent Soul tremble.

His expression changed drastically!

At this moment, he felt that the blood sacrifice Formation he had meticulously arranged.

Was like a toy in front of this golden Divine Dragon!

After the golden Divine Dragon awakened, its majestic Dragon eyes instantly locked onto the bloody sky curtain that enveloped the capital city, still frantically devouring the essence and blood of living beings!

The next moment, a furious look flashed in its Dragon eyes!

It suddenly opened its huge mouth and sucked fiercely at the sky!

Whoosh!!!

A terrifying devouring force erupted!

The incomparably evil bloody sky curtain, under this single gulp, was like a huge red cloth.

Torn down from the sky!

Countless wronged souls wailing in the sky curtain didn't even have time to let out a scream.

They were all devoured and purified by that terrifying suction force!

The dense blood-light and Devilish Qi, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.

Madly poured into the golden Divine Dragon's mouth.

And were instantly crushed and melted by its vast Dragon Qi.

Transforming into nourishment for its own growth!

In just three breaths!

The human purgatory that enveloped the entire capital city and plunged millions of living beings into despair.

Was completely devoured by the golden Divine Dragon!

The sky regained its clarity.

Although it was still overcast.

But that suffocating evil Aura had vanished without a trace.

"My... my blood... is back!"

"My strength... my strength is back too!"

"Wuwuwu... We... we are saved!"

Within the capital city, countless Mortals and Cultivators who were having their essence and blood and Divine Soul extracted, on the verge of turning into mummified corpses, were shocked to discover.

That terrifying suction force had disappeared!

Not only that, a warm and pure life energy surged from all directions.

Pouring into their bodies!

A child in his mother's arms, whose life force had been cut off and turned into a tiny mummified corpse, quickly had his shriveled skin plump up.

His chest resumed a faint rise and fall.

Finally, he cried out with a 'wah'!

A peddler lying on the street, almost out of breath, suddenly sat up from the ground.

He looked blankly at his hands, feeling the regained vitality in his body, and wept with joy!

A miracle!

This was absolutely a miracle!

The entire capital city, after a brief silence.

Instantly erupted in earth-shattering cheers and cries!

Countless people knelt on the ground, facing the direction of the Heaven-Reaching Altar.

Facing the golden Divine Dragon coiled in the sky.

Facing the figure in green standing beneath the Divine Dragon, kowtowing madly!

And the moment the bloody sky curtain was devoured!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The eighty-one blood sacrifice Formation cores scattered throughout the capital city seemed to have lost their energy source.

And were subjected to the frantic backlash of the National Fate Dragon Qi!

They exploded one after another!

In an underground secret room of a luxurious mansion in the west of the city, the blood pool used for sacrifice exploded.

Blasting dozens of Demonic Cultivators hidden inside into a sky full of blood mist!

In a temple in the south of the city, the Demonic creature disguised as a divine statue let out a wail and shattered.

Golden Dragon Qi incinerated its remaining Demonic thoughts completely!

The black market in the north of the city, the dark alley in the east of the city... one after another, Formation nodes hidden in the shadows were detonated one after another amidst the roar of the National Fate Golden Dragon.

Turning into dust!

The grand Formation was broken!

Completely and utterly broken!

"Pfft~!"

On the Heaven-Reaching Altar, Heavenly Corpse Venerable was struck by lightning.

He suddenly spat out a large mouthful of Demonic blood!

His Aura withered at a visible speed!

This blood sacrifice Formation.

Was closely linked to his Divine Soul Origin!

With the Formation broken, the backlash he suffered was also the most terrifying!

He could feel that his Nascent Soul, which he had Cultivated for hundreds of years, was covered in cracks under the impact of that vast Dragon Qi, as if it would collapse at any moment!

"No! My Divine Technique! My great holy embryo undertaking!"

Heavenly Corpse Venerable let out a mournful scream.

His eyes were filled with madness and unwillingness!

As for the Demonic Path Cultivators behind him, their fate was even more tragic!

Dozens of Golden Core and Foundation Establishment Stage Demonic Cultivators, without even having time to let out a scream, their bodies exploded, turning into black blood mists, their Divine Souls completely destroyed!

Even Prince Yu, Qin Kai, this arrogant Demonic Land Human King who was so imperious just now.

Also suffered a severe impact on his mind due to the breaking of the grand Formation.

Completely unable to maintain his flying posture, he screamed and fell from mid-air.

Finally, he fell heavily to the ground like a dead dog.

He raised his head, his face full of incredible horror and bewilderment.

Defeated?

His perfect plan, just like that... defeated?

The entire scene was dead silent!

All the surviving officials looked with eyes like those looking at a god.

Gazing up at the figure in green at the top of the Heaven-Reaching Altar.

Shock!

Awe!

Fanaticism!

Qin Wujie also collapsed on the ground, gasping for air.

He looked at the miraculous scene before him, at that calm and indifferent figure.

The shock in his heart was beyond words.

Is this... the true strength of the state protecting celestial master?

Turning the tide with a flick of his hand!

Saving the living beings of a city with the power of one person!

Under everyone's awestruck gaze, the golden Divine Dragon coiled in the sky let out a high-pitched Dragon roar.

Then it transformed into a golden light.

And re-entered the underground Dragon Vein.

The state suppressing jade seal in the sky also dimmed its light and slowly floated down.

Returning to Chen Xu's hand.

Chen Xu's figure slowly floated down from the peak of the Heaven-Reaching Altar.

The myriad ages azure cloud sword, at some unknown time, had already appeared in his hand.

That seemingly ancient longsword did not emit any astonishing Sword Qi.

But it made Heavenly Corpse Venerable feel as if his Divine Soul was about to freeze!

Chen Xu raised his eyes, his gaze falling on Heavenly Corpse Venerable's face.

The tip of his sword slowly rose, pointing distantly at his glabella.

The next moment, an indifferent voice echoed throughout the silent Heaven-Reaching Altar.

"Now, it's my turn."

Chen Xu's voice had no emotional fluctuations.

But it was this calm voice that instantly swept across the entire Heaven-Reaching Altar!

Making all the Demonic Cultivators present who could still breathe feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

Whether it was those Golden Core Devil Heads whose eyes were bloodshot and were wantonly slaughtering.

Or those Foundation Establishment Demonic beings who had just recovered from the backlash of the grand Formation.

They all felt a chill run through their bodies!

"Kill... kill him!"

In the dead silence, a hysterical scream suddenly rang out!

Prince Yu, Qin Kai, this prince who was still high-spirited just now.

Was now lying on the ground like a maggot.

His face was covered in blood, his crown askew, no longer showing any trace of a virtuous prince's demeanor.

He had gone mad!

Watching his perfect plan.

Crumble inch by inch before his eyes.

Watching that supreme authority, within reach, turn into an illusion.

His sanity had long been burned to ashes!

"Kill him! All of you, go! Kill him!!!"

Qin Kai used all his strength, pointing at Chen Xu and roaring madly.

"Heavenly Corpse Venerable! What are you waiting for! Kill him! This king commands you to kill him!!!"

He didn't need to command him.

Heavenly Corpse Venerable's blood-red eyes had already locked onto Chen Xu!

If what Qin Kai felt was the madness of a shattered plan.

Then what Heavenly Corpse Venerable felt was a very real death crisis!

It was this man!

It was this gaze!

Although last time, the other party had only sent down a wisp of will from an unknown distance.

It almost annihilated him!

But that was ultimately just a distant attack!

And now, this monster... was standing alive in front of him!

Yes, he felt it very clearly now, that vast Aura like heavenly might, far surpassing Soul Transformation and Purple Mansion Dao Lord, belonged to this guy in front of him!

And this made him clearly realize... that he... had no chance of escape today!

A retreat route?

There was no retreat route anymore!

The moment the blood sacrifice Formation was broken, his backup plans and hopes were all cut off!

Since death was inevitable either way... "Roar~!!!"

A fierce nature born of desperation erupted from the bottom of Heavenly Corpse Venerable's heart.

His wrinkled old face instantly flushed red.

His eyes were filled with madness and venom!

"All Disciples, listen to my command!"

Heavenly Corpse Venerable forcefully suppressed the surging Qi and blood within him, roaring sharply.

His voice was as piercing as a night owl's.

"At all costs, tear him to shreds for this Venerable!!!"

With a single command, those Demonic Path Cultivators who had already been intimidated by Chen Xu's Aura and had thoughts of retreating.

Were as if injected with a potent stimulant.

Their eyes were once again replaced by blood-red and madness!

They knew very well... today, it was either him or them!

"Kill!!!"

"Sacrifice yourselves for the great holy embryo undertaking!"

"Hehehe... To personally tear apart such an peerless strong practitioner and suck his essence and blood dry, this Venerable will die content!"

In an instant, dozens of Golden Core Demonic Cultivators and hundreds of Foundation Establishment Demonic beings, led by Heavenly Corpse Venerable, transformed into streaks of blood-light and Demonic shadows of various colors, pouncing madly towards Chen Xu from all directions!

For a time, ghosts wailed and gods howled, and Demonic Qi soared into the sky!

Bloody winds and rains once again enveloped the entire Heaven-Reaching Altar!

A burly Demonic Cultivator with bulging muscles all over his body.

And black Demonic patterns covering his skin, a Late Golden Core Stage Cultivator, charged at the very front!

He was known as "Old Devil Black Mountain."

His body tempering Demonic Technique made his Physical Body comparable to a Magic Treasure!

He cackled, a huge bone club made from a Cultivator's leg bone in his hand, smashing down on Chen Xu's head!

"Die for this old man!"

On the other side, a graceful and scantily clad female Demonic Cultivator giggled.

Between the flicking of her ten fingers.

Ten pink silk threads, like venomous snakes, coiled around Chen Xu's limbs!

Even more Demonic Cultivators conjured the ten thousand souls banner, and instantly, a chilling wind howled.

Tens of thousands of wronged souls and vengeful spirits shrieked.

Turning into a gray-black tide of ghosts, intending to devour Chen Xu's Divine Soul completely!

Others cast the Blood Escape Technique.

Their entire being transformed into a blurry blood shadow, silently circling behind Chen Xu.

The longsword in their hand stabbed straight at his back!

From all directions, above and below!

All angles were completely sealed by this storm-like attack!

Every attack.

Was enough to make a Golden Core Cultivator of the same rank flustered and struggling to cope!

However, facing all this.

Chen Xu's eyes were calm.

He just stood there quietly.

Then, he raised his hand and waved the myriad ages azure cloud sword in his hand.

Just a gentle wave.

In an instant, dozens of seemingly ordinary azure Sword Qi.

Flew out from the tip of his sword.

The Sword Qi was very faint and thin.

As if it would dissipate in the wind the next second.

Old Devil Black Mountain, who was charging at the very front, looked at the slowly drifting azure Sword Qi towards him.

A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

“Is that all?”

He roared, and the bone club in his hand burst with Demonic Qi.

His strength increased by another thirty percent.

He swung it fiercely towards the Sword Qi!

He seemed to already see his bone club smashing this ridiculous Sword Qi.

Then, along with that kid who was pretending to be a god...

Smashing them all into a bloody pulp!

However...

The next second...

“Poof.”

With a soft sound...

That azure Sword Qi ignored the violent Demonic Energy on the bone club.

It ignored the indestructible material of the bone club.

It easily sliced through the middle of the bone club.

Black Mountain Devil’s sinister grin instantly froze.

He only felt his hand lighten.

He looked down... only to see his natal Magic Treasure, which he had refined for three hundred years, being neatly cut into two halves from the middle!

This... how is this possible?!

As this thought flashed through his mind...

That azure Sword Qi...

Had already sliced through his body.

He didn't feel anything.

He even wanted to activate his Demonic Technique again.

But the Demonic Path Cultivators behind him watched in horror as Black Mountain Devil’s massive body, starting from his glabella...

A line of blood appeared.

The bloodline spread downwards, passing through his neck, chest, abdomen... Immediately after, with a whoosh...

His entire being, along with the Demonic Armor on him, was neatly split into two halves.

Falling to the left and right.

Blood and internal organs spilled all over the ground!

One sword!

Black Mountain Devil, a Late Golden Core Stage Cultivator with a formidable Physical Body, was dead!

This terrifying scene...

Caused all Demonic Path Cultivators' attacks to halt!

But, it was too late!

Those dozens of azure Sword Qi had already flown into the Demonic Path Cultivators' tide!

“Ah!”

The seductive smile on the face of the female Demonic Path Cultivator who was casting poisonous threads had not yet faded.

A Sword Qi arrived later but struck first.

Instantly piercing through her glabella!

Her bone-corroding poisonous threads instantly evaporated the moment they touched the Sword Qi!

That Golden Core Demonic Path Cultivator who had unleashed the ten thousand souls banner...

Watched helplessly as a Sword Qi flew towards him.

Both he and his banner were instantly cut into scattered ashes!

Those tens of thousands of vengeful spirits only had time to let out a scream!

Then, under the Sword Qi, they were Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, completely purified!

And that Demonic Path Cultivator who used Blood Escape to circle behind Chen Xu...

The long sword in his hand was less than five inches away from Chen Xu's back!

On his face... a look of ecstasy had already appeared!

But just then, the space in front of him rippled slightly.

Azure Sword Qi appeared out of thin air... “Puff!”

The Sword Qi instantly pierced through his forehead.

Nailing him firmly in mid-air!

The ecstasy on his face...

Turned into endless horror.

He didn't understand until his death, the other party clearly hadn't turned around.

Where did this Sword Qi come from?

Slaughter!

This was a one-sided slaughter!

Those seemingly ordinary azure Sword Qi were extremely fast.

They seemed to possess their own life and wisdom.

Shuttling freely through the Demonic Path Cultivators' tide.

Every flash inevitably took away the life of a Demonic Path Cultivator!

Whether it was Golden Core or Foundation Establishment!

Whether it was a frontal assault or a strange curse!

In front of these azure Sword Qi, they all seemed ridiculous and powerless!

“No! Impossible! What kind of sword art is this?!”

“My protective Demonic Technique! Why can't it block it?!”

“Devil! He is a Devil!”

Screams, wails, and desperate roars rose and fell!

But soon, these sounds became fewer and fewer.

Because Chen Xu was too lazy to kill them one by one.

He stood still.

His feet did not move at all!

An invisible fluctuation, centered on him, suddenly spread out!

Within a hundred zhang, it transformed into a Sword Domain!

A Foundation Establishment Stage demon who had just rushed into this range, the ferocity on his face had not yet faded.

His body suddenly stiffened!

He discovered in horror that an invisible and intangible, extremely sharp power...

Was pressing towards him frantically from all directions!

The protective Demonic Qi on his body shattered instantly, like paper!

“No...”

“Bang!”

His entire being exploded with a bang!

Turning into a dazzling blood mist!

And this was just the beginning!

“Bang!”

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

A series of dense explosions, like firecrackers set off during the New Year...

Rang out frantically below the Heaven-Reaching Altar!

Those Demonic Path Cultivators who had just stepped into the Sword Domain...

Regardless of their cultivation level, regardless of what Divine Ability they used...

Were all annihilated by the ubiquitous Sword Qi at the same time!

In just a few dozen breaths!

Those hundreds of menacing Demonic Path Cultivators, like a Demonic Path Cultivators' tide...

Were slaughtered clean!

Below the entire Heaven-Reaching Altar, blood flowed like rivers, and severed limbs covered the white stone bricks.

The air was filled with a nauseating smell of blood.

And in the center of that mountain of corpses and sea of blood...

Only two figures stood alone.

One was Prince Yu, Qin Kai, who was already so frightened that he collapsed to the ground...

His bowels and bladder loosened.

The other was Heavenly Corpse Venerable, covered in blood, his Aura weak, with only fear left in his eyes!

Silence!

Dead silence!

All the surviving civil and military officials, imperial relatives, including Qin Wujie not far away and Prince Cheng, Qin Zhe, who had always had little presence...

All looked in horror at the azure-robed figure standing with a sword.

They trembled with fear.

Not even daring to breathe loudly.

At this moment, Chen Xu's prestige completely surpassed imperial power.

Under everyone's gaze, Chen Xu looked at Qin Wujie and Prince Cheng not far away, and spoke lightly: “See clearly.”

“To deal with these beings who treat all living things as mere pawns, no mercy is needed, nor any schemes.”

“There is only one thing you need to do.”

“That is... to be stronger and more ruthless than them.”

“Crush them along with their hopes.”

Qin Wujie's body trembled.

He looked at the scene like purgatory before him, and then at Chen Xu's figure.

The hatred and anger boiling in his chest...

Were replaced by clarity at this moment.

He clenched his fists and nodded heavily.

Soon, Chen Xu's gaze fell upon Heavenly Corpse Venerable.

“It's over.”

He raised the myriad ages azure cloud sword in his hand.

The tip of the sword pointed distantly at Heavenly Corpse Venerable's glabella.

Feeling the sharp Sword Intent locking onto his Divine Soul...

Heavenly Corpse Venerable’s hair stood on end!

However, amidst this fear and despair...

A hint of madness suddenly burst forth in Heavenly Corpse Venerable's eyes!

“Hahaha... It's over?”

“Little bastard! Do you think you've won?!”

“I have Cultivated Demonic Technique for eight hundred years! Even if I die, I will tear a piece of flesh from you!”

Accompanied by a frantic roar, Heavenly Corpse Venerable suddenly stretched out his withered hands.

And fiercely tore open his chest!

A black Nascent Soul, entwined with countless black resentful Qi, as if condensed from tens of thousands of wronged souls...

Suddenly flew out from his shattered flesh!

As soon as the black Nascent Soul appeared, it let out a shrill shriek!

It grew with the wind, at an astonishing speed...

Expanding wildly!

A terrifying energy fluctuation erupted from the expanding Nascent Soul with a bang!

The surrounding space... began to violently twist and collapse under the impact of this energy!

“Heavenly Corpse Disintegration Great Art!”

Heavenly Corpse Venerable let out a low cry: “Hahaha! Let's die together! Be buried with me!!!”

As soon as his voice fell, under everyone's horrified gaze...

That black Demonic Nascent Soul was still rapidly expanding!

Ten zhang!

Thirty zhang!

In just a single breath...

It transformed into a giant black fleshy ball with a diameter of over fifty zhang!

The surface of the fleshy ball was covered with countless distorted faces of pain.

They wailed silently...

As if imprisoned in eternal purgatory.

Destructive, violent energy...

Was frantically brewing in the center of that fleshy ball.

Below the Heaven-Reaching Altar, all the surviving civil and military officials looked at that black sun, which seemed like it could explode at any moment...

Their faces filled with despair.

One must know that the self-detonation of a Middle Nascent Soul Stage Devil Head...

Its power was enough to level an area of a hundred li!

At that time, let alone these Mortals and low-level Cultivators...

Even the entire Imperial City would be reduced to ruins in this terrifying explosion, ceasing to exist!

“No!”

Qin Wujie's eyes were splitting with rage, he struggled to get up, supporting his heavily injured body.

He firmly shielded Prince Cheng, Qin Zhe, who was already scared silly, behind him.

The Golden Core within his Dantian frantically circulated, trying to set up a final defense.

But he knew that in the face of such destructive power...

All his struggles were merely a mantis trying to stop a chariot!

“Hahaha... Hahahahaha!”

Looking at the fear and despair on everyone's faces...

Heavenly Corpse Venerable’s remains, with only his head and half a torso left, let out a frenzied laugh.

“Let's all die together!!”

Accompanying his roar...

The light on the surface of that black Demonic Nascent Soul, which had expanded to its limit, suddenly brightened to its extreme!

That energy, capable of destroying everything...

Was about to fully detonate in the next instant!

However, at this desperate moment when everyone closed their eyes, waiting for death...

“Noisy.”

Chen Xu’s voice reached everyone present.

He merely looked at the Demonic Nascent Soul that was about to explode, and shook his head disdainfully.

“You know nothing about power.”

The moment his voice fell...

The Grandmist Golden Core within Chen Xu’s Dantian suddenly rotated!

Buzz~!

A purple Qi flashed through his body!

He extended his right hand and gently clenched it towards the Demonic Nascent Soul that had expanded to its limit.

A single word was indifferently uttered from his mouth.

“Freeze.”

In an instant, time seemed to have been paused!

The entire world fell into a deadly silence!

The strong wind stopped.

The Demonic Qi solidified.

On the black Demonic Nascent Soul, countless wailing and twisted human faces...

Their expressions completely froze at this moment.

The violent energy that was about to burst forth was forcibly confined in place.

Unable to advance an inch!

This... what was going on?!

Everyone was stunned.

Even Qin Wujie, who was prepared to embrace death, opened his eyes in a daze.

And the next scene was even more unforgettable for them, to be remembered for all eternity!

Under Chen Xu’s gentle clench...

That massive black Demonic Nascent Soul actually began to rapidly shrink!!!
