308: A mere Nascent Soul cultivator—not worth mentioning!

Lu Chen didn't use any weapons at all.

He just raised his right hand and clenched his fist.

Boom—!

A punch was thrown!

There was no spiritual power explosion, no natural phenomena, and not even a ripple in space.

But that giant bone claw, which was enough to tear apart a Nascent Soul Dharma Aspect—

Exploded the moment it touched his fist!

Crack!

Pale bone fragments burst open like an avalanche, turning into a sky full of bone dust, scattering with the wind!

Lady White Bone's expression changed drastically, and for the first time, shock appeared in her emerald green eyes!

"This... impossible!"

She stared intently at Lu Chen's fist, a monstrous wave rising in her heart:

"This is the giant bone claw I've refined for over a thousand years! Even a Early Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator would find it difficult to destroy it easily. How... how could he, a Golden Core Cultivator, do it?!"

She immediately suspected—

This kid is playing the pig to eat the tiger!

He must have concealed his cultivation; his true Realm is at least Nascent Soul!

But when she frantically probed with her Divine Sense, she couldn't feel any Nascent Soul aura!

Within Lu Chen's body, his spiritual power was indeed only at Golden Core Peak!

Could it be... that he Cultivated some secret technique?

Lu Chen had indeed not yet broken through Golden Core.

But he compressed all these decades of arduous Cultivation, the life-and-death tempering in the Southern Barbarian Abyss, and the baptism of the Heavenly Dao's power!

He compressed all his cultivation, all his spiritual power, and all his Divine Soul power to a critical point, a singularity!

It was like compressing a volcano into a pebble, solidifying an ocean into a drop of water!

Once released, it would be world-destroying!

Lu Chen took a step, heading straight for the giant bone claw, intending to save Liu Lanyan!

But how could Lady White Bone let him succeed?!

A fierce glint flashed in her eyes; she bit her tongue, spitting out a mouthful of vital blood!

"Sacrifice—heaven-reaching spirit treasures!"

In the Void Realm, a pale long banner suddenly appeared!

The banner was woven from tens of thousands of vengeful souls, with blood patterns inscribed on its surface, and nine Soul Transformation skulls hung from its top, each wailing silently!

This was her true trump card—the White Bone Heaven-Reaching Banner!

Refined for thousands of years, it had once helped her resist the pursuit of dozens of Soul Transformation cultivators from the Spirit Realm and retreat unscathed!

With a wave of the long banner, the heavens and earth howled with cold wind, and the nine skulls opened their mouths, spewing out nine pillars of vengeful soul light, interwoven into a net, striking directly at Lu Chen!

But Lu Chen—

Still just threw a punch.

Boom!!!

Another punch!

No flashy moves, no spiritual power explosion, only an indomitable will!

The punch landed, and the banner shattered!

The nine pillars of vengeful soul light exploded, the nine Soul Transformation skulls instantly collapsed, and the pale long banner tore like a rag, turning into flying ash!

Lady White Bone was struck by lightning, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, her Divine Soul shaking violently!

Her heaven-reaching spirit treasures... was destroyed?!

This scene, witnessed by Green Crow and Blood Luo Ji—

Their eyes bulged!

"This... this is impossible!!"

Green Crow exclaimed, "That was Lady White Bone's heaven-reaching spirit treasures! Even I might not be able to destroy it so easily!"

Blood Luo Ji's blood-red eyes trembled, "What kind of monster is this young man?!"

They finally realized—

This young man, who seemed to be at Golden Core Peak... was far more terrifying than they had imagined!

Lu Chen threw a punch, and the giant bone claw that had pierced Liu Lanyan's shoulder instantly exploded into dust, with bone fragments flying like snowflakes.

He lightly leaped, steadily catching Liu Lanyan as she fell from mid-air, gently holding her in his arms.

His movements were extremely gentle, as if afraid of hurting Liu Lanyan; his fingers brushed her blood-stained cheek, his eyes filled with heartache and pity.

"Auntie... I'm sorry, I came late."

He whispered, his voice hoarse yet gentle.

Immediately, he formed a hand seal, and the spiritual power within his body, compressed to the extreme, awakened like a volcano, slowly releasing.

"Five Elements Reversal · Life Breath Restoration!"

A soft halo, yet containing endless vitality, diffused from his palm, enveloping Liu Lanyan's entire body!

The power of the Five Elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—flowed at his fingertips, reversing the Law of life and death, forcibly pulling back her fading life force!

The piercing wound caused by the bone spur healed at a visible speed, the charred Meridians regained vitality, and the broken bones made a faint "click, click" sound, rapidly rejoining!

Her pale complexion gradually returned to ruddy, and her weak breathing became steady and strong.

Liu Lanyan felt the power reviving within her, and her tears could no longer be held back.

She suddenly raised her hands and tightly hugged Lu Chen's neck, her nails almost digging into his skin, as if afraid he would disappear the next moment.

She was no longer the Taixu Sect Saintess, no longer the Empress revered by everyone in the Great Yin Dynasty.

At this moment, she was just an aunt who had waited for ten years, cried for a thousand nights, and finally welcomed back her beloved.

"Lu Chen..."

She cried hysterically, her voice heartbreaking:

"I thought... I would never see you again... I thought you died in the Southern Barbarian Abyss... Wuwuwu..."

In these ten years, facing countless doubts and conspiracies, she had never shed a single tear.

But at this moment, all her longing, all her fear, all her pretense of strength, completely collapsed in his embrace, turning into endless tears.

Lu Chen gently stroked her long hair, his voice firm and tender:

"Auntie, don't be afraid, we... will never be separated again."

He gently placed her in a safe spot nearby, his gaze turning cold, sweeping like a blade towards the three Spirit Realm death row Cultivators:

"You step aside first, and let me kill all these... bugs that hurt you."

Liu Lanyan struggled to get up, her voice trembling:

"Be careful... they are all Soul Transformation Cultivators..."

Lu Chen turned back, smiled at her, and then laughed uproariously, his voice shaking the nine heavens:

"Mere Soul Transformation Cultivators—"

"Not worth mentioning!"

These eight words, like a Heavenly Dao decree, transformed into tangible sound waves that exploded!

Space vibrated, the earth cracked, and even the distant remaining peaks collapsed with a roar!

Lady White Bone, Green Crow, and Blood Luo Ji all felt their Divine Souls shake violently, their expressions changing drastically!

They were frantic, angry, and couldn't understand—

How could this shattered Small World, with its barren resources and incomplete rules, give birth to such a Heaven-Defying person?!

A Golden Core Peak, daring to despise them, these Soul Transformation powerhouses, like this?!

Blood Luo Ji's blood-red eyes narrowed slightly; she suppressed the shock in her heart and transmitted a cold message:

"Green Crow, White Bone, you two team up and suppress this kid first! My blood sacrifice array is just one step away from completion, and I'll soon recover to Peak Spirit Transformation! By then, no matter who he is, I will refine him into my blood slave, making him kneel at my feet forever and ever!"

But Green Crow sneered, dismissive:

"Cooperate with Lady White Bone? Heh—she's not worthy!"

He had always been arrogant, pursuing the ultimate "purity"—whether in power or emotion.

And Lady White Bone, even in the Spirit Realm, was notorious as " You Tan" (Udumbara), seducing and killing countless Prodigies with her beauty, refining their bones into Puppets; her methods were so evil that they were despicable!

Green Crow detested such hypocritical and dirty "scum women," so how could he possibly team up with her?

He held his paintbrush, seven-colored light flowing at its tip, and his spiritual power surged throughout his body!

"A mere Golden Core, no matter how strong you are, you are still just Golden Core! Watch me, alone, suppress and kill you!"

He suddenly wielded his brush, and seven-colored spiritual light shot into the sky!

"Seven-Colored Illusion Realm · Myriad Phenomena Return to Void!"

Boom—!!!

The entire world instantly changed color!

The sky turned into a giant rainbow dome, the earth was covered with iridescent light, and mountains and rivers were all enveloped in a seven-colored mist!

This was the ultimate manifestation of a Soul Transformation Domain—twisting reality with spiritual power to construct one's own world of rules!

In this Domain, Green Crow was the Dominator; a single thought could create illusions, a single thought could destroy souls!

Lu Chen stood in the center of the rainbow world, his brows slightly furrowed.

He raised his hand and threw a punch in mid-air!

But that punch, which was enough to shatter a heaven-reaching spirit treasures, was like a clay ox entering the sea, failing to stir even a single ripple!

The rainbow world remained motionless, as if his power had been completely devoured!

Green Crow stood at the peak of the rainbow, his green robe fluttering, his eyes full of mockery:

"Do you really think you're invincible?! You want to shatter my Seven-Colored Illusion Realm with one punch?!"

"This is the 'Myriad Phenomena Return to Void' Domain that I refined with Spirit Realm runes; even Peak Spirit Transformation powerhouses have been trapped and died within it! Today, let your thoughts perish in this illusion!"
