319: You shouldn't have become Lu Chen's aunt.

On the other side of the battlefield, Blood Luo Ji had been blasted into the ground by Lu Chen's spear, half of her body a bloody mess, her Divine Soul on the verge of collapse!

She coughed up a large mouthful of fresh blood, her eyes filled with despair, knowing that she would surely die today.

Fate is truly too interesting.

Blood Luo Ji never dreamed that her Incarnation Peak would die in such a Small World full of ants.

Suddenly!

A ferocious laugh tore through the sky!

"Lu Chen—stop!!"

Ling Tian clutched Liu Lanyan's neck with one hand, lifting her high, while with the other, he conjured a blood-red short blade and pressed it against her throat!

His eyes were bloodshot, his face filled with madness and pleasure:

"If you dare to move again, I'll kill her immediately!!"

Liu Lanyan's face was pale, her body trembling, yet she gritted her teeth and remained silent.

Lu Chen turned sharply at the sound, his dragon fiend spear suspended in mid-air, his killing intent frozen.

Time, as if, stood still at this moment.

Emperor Qin and Shen Wuya stood on either side, their aura weak, but their eyes fixed on Lu Chen, awaiting his reaction.

They knew—

This round was no longer a contest of strength.

But rather—

A psychological game!

Ling Tian sneered: "Respected Heavenly Dao Lord! If you dare to move again, we will kill her!!"

Lu Chen's gaze was icy, locked onto Liu Lanyan, whose throat was clutched in Ling Tian's hand.

In his eyes, there was no panic, no fear, only a bottomless anger.

He walked step by step, each step making the earth tremble, as if the entire Heaven and Earth resonated with his fury.

Finally, he stopped, his voice low and cold, like a ten-thousand-year-old frigid abyss:

"You three... you were once the rulers of the previous civilization, yet you resort to kidnapping a woman to threaten me? How despicable!"

Ling Tian, however, laughed up to the sky, his laughter maniacal, carrying an almost pathological delight:

"Haha—! Despicable?!"

He sneered, his fingers tightening slightly, and Liu Lanyan immediately struggled for breath, her face flushed, struggling in pain:

"You destroyed our civilization, annihilated our Divine Souls, and brought endless suffering to the world! Against a 'Heavenly Dao' like you, who lords over all beings, no means are too extreme!"

Liu Lanyan struggled to raise her head, tears in her eyes, yet still staring intently at Lu Chen, her voice weak but firm:

"Lu Chen... don't mind me... kill them!!"

"Shut up!"

Ling Tian roared, the force in his hand suddenly increasing, almost snapping Liu Lanyan's neck!

Her eyes rolled back, her breathing almost cut off, her body convulsing violently!

Lu Chen's voice was terrifyingly calm:

"Ling Tian, since you know I am the Heavenly Dao... you should understand one thing, even if you kill Liu Lanyan now, I can resurrect her."

"As long as I wish it, she can undergo endless Rebirth."

"So—"

"You cannot threaten me."

At these words, Ling Tian's smile froze, a flicker of panic in his eyes.

Emperor Qin and Shen Wuya exchanged glances, their hearts sinking slightly.

However, Ling Tian quickly regained his sneer, his voice even colder:

"Haha... of course I know you can resurrect her."

He looked down at Liu Lanyan's pained face, a twisted pleasure flashing in his eyes:

"But who said I wanted to kill her? What I want is not her death."

"But rather—to let her live and endure endless torment!"

He condensed a wisp of dark black poisonous Qi on his fingertip and slowly pierced it into Liu Lanyan's wrist Meridians:

"I will cripple her cultivation, sever her Meridians, and turn her into a cripple. I will make her suffer the pain of ten thousand ants gnawing at her heart day and night. I will make her unable to live or die! I will make her call out your name again and again in endless pain, and you, you can only watch!"

Liu Lanyan trembled all over, looking at Ling Tian in disbelief, tears streaming down:

"Ling Tian, we were lovers in our previous life! I never thought you would be so cruel..."

Ling Tian suddenly turned his head away, not daring to meet her eyes, his voice becoming even sharper:

"Shut up!! Don't use past affection to sway me! As long as I can kill the Heavenly Dao, I'm willing to do anything!"

"If you must blame someone... blame yourself for becoming Lu Chen's aunt!"

If Lu Chen wasn't afraid of accidentally hurting his aunt by taking action, he would have killed Ling Tian directly long ago.

Suddenly!

A blood-red light erupted from the ruins!

It was Blood Luo Ji!

Although she was critically wounded, she had not given up!

Taking advantage of Lu Chen's distraction!

"Now's the time!"

Blood Luo Ji's eyes were blood-red, and she chanted an ancient and eerie Blood Clan incantation:

"Blood Origin first opens, Chaos returns to one, beginning of the Blood Realm, needle falls upon the firmament!"

Boom!!!

A crimson light, almost black, burst forth from between her eyebrows!

A thin needle, about three inches long, carved entirely from blood crystal, slowly emerged—

The "chaos blood source needle"!

Legend has it that the entire Blood Realm was not formed naturally, but evolved after this chaos blood source needle dropped its first drop of blood!

It is the Origin of the Blood Realm, a Chaos Supreme Treasure, possessing the terrifying ability to ignore all defenses!

"Go!"

Blood Luo Ji roared, flicking her finger!

The chaos blood source needle transformed into a blood-red streak, tearing through the Void Realm, shooting straight for Lu Chen's heart!

Lu Chen's pupils contracted, reacting instantly!

"Black Tortoise Divine Shield!"

The ten-thousand-meter giant shadow of the Black Tortoise Divine Beast spanned Heaven and Earth, its shell like a star shield, its snake tail coiled, forming an absolute defense!

However—

Pfft!

The chaos blood source needle actually pierced directly through the Black Tortoise Divine Shield as if it were thin paper!

Not even a crack was left on the tortoise shell, as if the needle did not exist in the material world at all!

Lu Chen's heart jolted; without time to think, he immediately blocked with his spear!

The dragon fiend spear spun at high speed, its shadow like a tornado, forming an impenetrable defensive circle!

But the next moment—

The chaos blood source needle suddenly disintegrated before the spear shadow!

It transformed into billions of strange crimson particles, spreading like mist, seeping through the gaps in the spear shadow!

Lu Chen was completely stunned, it could even penetrate that?!

He had never seen such a strange attack—

It wasn't strong in power, nor extremely fast, but simply impossible to defend against!

It was like air passing through a net, light passing through glass; this blood needle... seemed to transcend all material Laws!

Pfft—!!

With a soft sound, the chaos blood source needle re-condensed and directly plunged into Lu Chen's chest, disappearing!

Blood Luo Ji laughed wildly up to the sky, her face full of triumph:

"Die! Anyone pierced by the chaos blood source needle is sure to die!"

"It doesn't harm the Physical Body, but goes straight into the grotto-heaven, destroys the Origin, and detonates the spiritual sea!"

"Once the grotto-heaven explodes, the Divine Soul is annihilated, and one cannot even enter Reincarnation!"

Ling Tian, Emperor Qin, and Shen Wuya were overjoyed!

They knew how terrifying the power of a grotto-heaven explosion was!

They waited nervously—

Waiting for Lu Chen's body to explode!

Blood Luo Ji's lips curled up; she had already seen the dawn of victory.

However—

A minute passed.

Lu Chen still stood in place, his robes intact, his aura stable, completely unharmed!

Blood Luo Ji's smile froze, a flicker of panic in her eyes.

"Impossible... how could this be...?"

Lu Chen looked down at his chest, then slowly raised his hand, a mocking sneer playing on his lips:

"Is that all??"
