269: Chapter 269 Two coughs, and the geniuses of Central Plains are bankrupt!

Deep within the Ancient God Ruins, inside the blood-colored grand hall.

God Emperor Lingxiao stood at the edge of the altar with his hands behind his back.

His brows furrowed slightly; just moments ago, he sensed that the Indestructible Crystal Core had been completely erased from the world.

Yin Tianzheng was dead.

God Emperor Lingxiao did not fly into a rage, but his eyes grew increasingly sinister.

He looked toward the center of the grand formation.

The flesh and blood essence transformed from the Holy Lord of Taichu was already running low.

But Goddess Ye Qingqiu, the crucial vessel, was late to arrive.

"To be able to slay Yin Tianzheng and completely obliterate the Indestructible Remnant Consciousness."

"No matter where you popped out from, you variable, you shall not hinder this Emperor's ten-thousand-year grand plan."

He could not wait any longer; delay would only invite trouble.

God Emperor Lingxiao made a swift decision, abandoning the safe plan of waiting for Goddess Ye Qingqiu.

His hands moved rapidly in front of his chest, forming obscure and ancient hand seals.

"primordial demon heart, use Death Qi as a guide, blood sacrifice to the common people!"

With his low shout.

The already dim Heavenly Dao Laws above the Divine Ruins were violently twisted by an incomparably powerful external force at this moment!

...

Above the sinkhole of the Nether Ravine.

Over thirty thousand Prodigies from various Sects in the Central Region were still immersed in the ecstasy of having narrowly escaped death.

They knelt on the ground, looking up with the most fanatical gazes at the figure in mid-air who resembled a deity.

"Long live Great Philanthropist Cao!"

"Your great kindness and virtue, we will never forget!"

The shouts shook the heavens and earth.

Cao Kun hovered comfortably in mid-air.

Feeling the golden Dragon within his Purple Mansion greedily devouring the massive amount of Power Of Faith.

The Integration Stage Peak experience card filled his entire body with endless power.

Just as he was preparing to say a few polite words to consolidate his glorious and towering image.

"Drip."

A drop of dark red liquid landed without warning on the cheek of a Disciple from the Tianji Pavilion.

"Is it raining?" The Disciple paused, reaching out to touch it.

"Sss!"

The moment his finger touched that drop of red rain.

A harsh, corrosive sound rang out.

The Disciple didn't even have time to scream; half of his cheek, along with his skull, melted directly into blood!

"Ah!!!"

The female cultivators around him screamed and retreated.

Immediately after, "Splash!"

A rain of blood poured down from the sky!

It landed on the mummified corpses of the Prodigies at the edge of the sinkhole who had previously been drained by the evil spirits.

The rock-hard mummified corpses instantly dissolved into pools of blood.

The remaining bone marrow, mixed Spiritual Qi, and even the Sect Luck remaining on those Prodigies were all forcibly stripped away by the blood rain, gathering toward the depths of the Ancient God Ruins!

Even the powerful Yao Beasts in the distant mountains, once touched by this blood rain, would turn into a pool of blood amidst their wails, drained of everything.

"What is this ghostly thing!"

"My protective Spiritual Qi cannot block it! It is corroding my Spiritual Qi!"

"Brother Cao, save us!"

The Prodigies, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, were once again plunged into immense panic.

In mid-air, Cao Kun's eyes narrowed.

He could feel that the power gathering toward the depths of the Divine Ruins was gestating something extremely terrifying.

"What an overbearing Law; is this meant to sacrifice all the living creatures in the entire Divine Ruins?"

He looked down at the thirty thousand terrified Prodigies below.

These were all people he had just connected to the Sentient Being Lines, and he hadn't even warmed up to them yet; how could he let this damn rain melt them?

Cao Kun snorted coldly, and the golden Dragon within his Purple Mansion let out a high-pitched roar.

With the blessing of these thirty thousand-plus high-quality Sentient Being Liness.

The pink Domain, which had originally only been a hundred zhang in size, suddenly expanded outward.

Two hundred zhang... three hundred zhang... five hundred zhang!

In the blink of an eye, a massive Domain covering several li in radius completely enveloped all thirty thousand-plus Prodigies.

The blood rain hit the pink light barrier, making a "sizzling" sound, but it could no longer penetrate it at all.

"Blocked!"

"Benefactor Cao's Domain has blocked this ghost rain!"

The Prodigies looked at the seemingly thin yet indestructible pink light barrier above their heads, once again experiencing the ecstasy of going from Hell to heaven.

One must know, this was a super-large Domain capable of covering tens of thousands of people!

Maintaining a Domain of this scale would consume an astronomical amount of Spiritual Qi.

And Great Philanthropist Cao, in order to protect them, strangers with no relation to him, had actually used such a Heaven-Defying method without hesitation!

Moved! So moved!

At this moment, Cao Kun hovered in mid-air.

Not only did he not feel the slightest bit of fatigue, but he actually felt filled with power.

The Sentient Being Lines provided a continuous stream of Power Of Faith; he could keep this Domain open for a month while playing poker without even breaking a sweat.

However, feeling the emotions of the thirty thousand-plus fat little sheep below, Cao Kun rolled his eyes, and a plan formed in his mind.

"Cough, cough!"

Cao Kun clutched his chest and began to cough, his body swaying as if he might fall from the sky at any moment.

"Everyone... the corrosive power of this blood rain is too strong."

"Forcibly holding open such a large Domain to protect you all... the consumption is truly too great."

"My internal Spiritual Qi, I fear... cannot last much longer."

"If this Domain breaks... you... you must find a way to survive..."

The thirty thousand-plus Prodigies below were all anxious upon hearing this.

Great Philanthropist Cao was actually willing to risk his life to save them!

Such noble character was truly a model for the cultivation world!

"Benefactor Cao! You cannot die!"

In the crowd, Ye Qingyun was the first to react.

Although his sword had been snatched by Cao Kun before, he had now become Cao Kun's most devout believer.

Ye Qingyun shouted at the top of his lungs: "Great Philanthropist Cao is of high righteousness! In order to save us, he does not hesitate to deplete his Origin!"

"But we absolutely cannot let Benefactor bear this consumption alone!"

"Maintaining the Domain requires massive amounts of Spiritual Qi! Everyone, quickly take out all the Spirit Stones on you and provide them to Benefactor to replenish his consumption!"

His shout instantly awakened everyone.

That's right! Benefactor Cao lacks Spiritual Qi, and we have Spirit Stones!

Su Su was the first to take off the spare Storage Ring on her finger and hold it high.

"Brother Cao! I have another million Top-Grade Spirit Stones here; please take them quickly to replenish your Spiritual Qi!"

Shen Linger was not to be outdone and directly unfastened the Storage Pouch at her waist.

"Brother Cao! I have ten bottles of Top-Grade Spirit Pills and fifty high-level Spiritual Plants! All for you!"

"And mine! I have three million Spirit Stones!"

For a time, the thirty thousand-plus Prodigies were filled with righteous indignation, scrambling to throw their Storage Rings into the sky.

The scene was quite spectacular.

On the surface, Cao Kun repeatedly declined.

"This won't do! Prodigies, this absolutely will not do!"

"I, Cao, am saving you purely out of moral duty; how could I accept your money!"

"Quickly take them back! Everyone take them back!"

Yet the System space was already wide open.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Those Storage Rings that flew in front of him didn't even pause for a second before being sucked directly into the System space.
