846: Can't you just ask someone?

An aura, far more powerful, profound, and heart-stopping than before, slowly permeated the air like an ancient, slumbering malevolent god awakening.

Zhu Jianhua lowered his head and clenched his fist.

Without using any energy, merely through the contraction of his muscles, the moment his five fingers closed, the air in his palm was crushed, emitting a dull sonic boom!

Power!

An unprecedented, pure sense of power flooded his entire body!

Zhu Jianhua could clearly feel that every single one of his cells was filled with explosive energy, and they contained a terrifying "Annihilation" characteristic!

This Annihilation was no longer the power obtained by burning his life through "Soul Ember," but rather it had integrated into his life's Origin, becoming a part of his existence!

His Physical Body strength had undergone an unimaginable qualitative change, and its toughness far exceeded his previous peak state!

He slowly raised his head, his purple pupils crossing the shattered earth, precisely locking onto the Blood Moon in the deep pit, which had fallen into a brief stupor due to this terrifying transformation.

A cold, violent killing intent, carrying endless desire for destruction, burst forth like a tangible substance!

He took a step!

Boom!

The ground collapsed like tofu, and spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread for tens of meters!

Without using any energy techniques, the speed erupted from pure Physical Body strength alone allowed him to instantly break the sound barrier!

Leaving behind an afterimage that lingered for a long time, he charged straight at the Blood Moon in the deep pit, cloaked in a fierce aura that could annihilate everything.

Just as Zhu Jianhua was about to succeed, the space around the Blood Moon seemed to be gently nudged by an invisible hand, causing a strange ripple to emerge, much like ripples suddenly forming on a calm lake surface.

This spatial fluctuation instantly spread, as if some mysterious power were declaring its existence.

The next moment, the Blood Moon vanished from the spot like a phantom, leaving not a single trace, as if it had never appeared there at all.

A trace of shock and unwillingness flashed in Zhu Jianhua's eyes; his body subconsciously lunged forward, wanting to continue the pursuit.

However, a hand rested on his shoulder just in time—the action was light, yet it possessed an irresistible force. He turned his head and saw that it was Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu's gaze was profound, carrying a trace of composure and calmness as he spoke slowly.

"Someone not weak inside has made a move!"

Upon hearing this, the killing intent in Zhu Jianhua's heart was instantly suppressed, as if doused by a basin of cold water.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his unwillingness, and looked at Luo Xiu with eyes full of respect. Then, he slowly bowed, performing a deep salute, and said solemnly.

"Thank you, Lord Luo Xiu!"

Regarding the current Luo Xiu, among all these people, no one knew the extent of his power better than he did.

A mere piece of flesh and blood had not only restored his strength but also seemed to have caused a qualitative change in his Physical Body.

Recalling his previous experience, Zhu Jianhua's heart was filled with the relief of having survived a disaster.

Previously, knowing that the situation was unfavorable, he had no choice but to choose to self-destruct.

At that time, he had only one thought in his mind: to leave behind a piece of flesh and blood in preparation for a later resurrection.

Although he understood that doing so would likely make all his previous efforts go to waste!

All those days and nights spent to Cultivate, all the accumulations from countless battles, might all be washed away, but at least he could retain a glimmer of life, at least he would have a chance to start over.

However, he had still underestimated the Blood Moon's methods.

The consciousness he had carefully deposited into that piece of flesh was like being locked in a dark cage, ruthlessly suppressed by a powerful and strange force.

He tried to struggle, tried to make contact with the outside world, but that force was like an insurmountable mountain, making it impossible for him to make even the slightest contact with others.

Even if he could send a weak signal through some special means to attract Zhou Rong and the others who were resisting the insect tide in the distance.

He knew in his heart that given their strength, on this perilous battlefield, they simply could not approach this intense battleground.

A powerful aura permeated this place, every wisp of air seemed to contain fatal danger; for those without sufficient strength, approaching here was no different from seeking death.

Just as he, filled with unwillingness and deep regret, watched his consciousness about to dissipate, flickering like a candle in the wind, it was Luo Xiu who keenly discovered him!

The other party was like a ray of dawn in the darkness, intervening in time to save him.

At that moment, the gratitude in his heart for Luo Xiu was like a surging river, endless and continuous.

"Hahahaha, although your strength is lacking, at least I like your personality; you are much better than that brat Yang Shuo."

Just then, Shadow, Yang Shuo, and the others also arrived one after another beside Luo Xiu.

Their footsteps were hurried, and their expressions carried a trace of tension and fatigue; clearly, they had undergone a fierce battle.

Having just heard Luo Xiu say that, Yang Shuo slightly twitched the corner of his mouth, an awkward expression appearing on his face.

He had many thoughts in his mind, but in the end, he held back, didn't say anything more, and just stood silently to the side.

"Lord Luo Xiu, the Master is right there, but I don't know why we can't make contact, and the Master hasn't contacted us either!"

Shadow's expression was solemn as he pointed his finger toward the firmament above.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, only to see the figures of Li Wuji and the Lord of Chaos still standing calmly opposite each other there.

They were high in the air, and the surrounding clouds seemed to be cowed by the aura emanating from them, daring not to approach easily.

The others also raised their heads to look at the sky, their eyes filled with curiosity and worry.

It was just that the two were located above the core area of the Kunlun Mountains, a place that seemed to be a world isolated by some mysterious force, and they simply could not approach.

That area was permeated with powerful Restrictions and a dangerous aura, as if warning others not to approach lightly.

The look in Luo Xiu's eyes as he gazed at Li Wuji was full of fanaticism; it was a kind of worship and yearning for the strong.

But quickly, he grinned, "Isn't it enough to just find someone and ask?!"

Before his voice had faded, a Protector who was fiercely fighting against the Six-Winged Dragon-Devouring Centipede felt his vision blur, and the surrounding scenery instantly became hazy.

It was as if an invisible vortex had swept him into it, causing him to lose control of his body.

The next moment, a force that could not be resisted, like a surging tide, forcibly brought him before Luo Xiu and the others.

Before that Protector could clearly see the situation before him, he saw a huge and powerful hand grabbing toward him; that hand seemed to carry endless oppression, and before he could make any reaction, he lost consciousness.

The one who acted was indeed Luo Xiu; he held the Protector's head firmly with one hand, his eyes revealing a trace of coldness and decisiveness.

He began to perform Soul Searching, and the surrounding air seemed to become oppressive because of this powerful force.
