364: The Taoist Soldiers of the Underworld

The towering Three-Eyed Clan Great Expert sighed silently: "If the two of you had arrived even a step later, my Three-Eyed Clan would have already withdrawn from this Ten Thousand Races Battlefield!"

Why come at this time?

He did not want to stay, because in the depths of his third eye, an ominous premonition always lingered, refusing to dissipate.

This was the Three-Eyed Clan's innate ability, the foresight of opportunity.

This ominous premonition represented the coming of a great danger.

This was not something every Three-Eyed Clan member possessed; on the contrary, it was an extremely rare innate ability within the Three-Eyed Clan.

'What a pity!'

If he had left earlier, the two Great Experts from the Han Clan and Yan Clan would not have been able to see him.

Now that three Great Experts were gathered, the target would only be larger. Furthermore, those mysterious existences could silently destroy the two Great Experts from the Heaven Day Race and Heaven Yin. Could they not also destroy three Great Experts?

It was probably just a matter of convenience!

Therefore, the arrival of the Great Experts from the Han Clan and Yan Clan did not bring any sense of security to the Three-Eyed Clan Great Expert; instead, he felt even more danger.

"Withdraw from the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield?" The hearts of the two Great Experts from the Yan Clan and Han Clan suddenly leaped.

What did he mean?

Even with their two Faxiang Realm presences arriving, and three Great Experts gathered, there was still danger?

They did not doubt this Three-Eyed Clan Great Expert, because they had come specifically for the third eye of this Three-Eyed Clan Great Expert.

"Even with the three of us joining forces, it's not enough?" The Yan Clan Great Expert pressed.

The Three-Eyed Clan's face gradually turned gloomy, because the ominous feeling in the depths of his third eye was growing deeper and had not dissipated: "Disaster is approaching!"

...

Deep underground, far away.

Lu Chen's eyes grew brighter.

'Buy one, get two free?'

There was actually such a good thing?!

Originally, finding one Three-Eyed Clan Great Expert had already brought him unexpected joy. He hadn't expected that before he even acted, the two Great Experts from the Han Clan and Yan Clan would arrive uninvited.

Well then, for such a good thing as 'buy one, get two free,' he could only accept it with gratitude.

As for three Great Experts gathering?

For the Spirit Clan Dao Soldier, it just meant one more Clone Dao Soldier, one or two more strikes.

Under a sneak attack, his Spirit Treasure Dao Soldier Clone had already proven that Great Experts could also be killed with a single strike, unless these Great Experts could detect his Spirit Clan Dao Soldier in advance.

...

"Go!" The Three-Eyed Clan Great Expert was silent for a moment, then made up his mind. He swept up the remaining few Three-Eyed Clan Heavenly Pride and prepared to flee through the void.

At the same time, he secretly clutched a precious bell, ready to defend against any unknown existence that might attack from the shadows, to avoid being caught off guard.

However, at this moment, three brilliant saber lights, like great suns, suddenly illuminated the entire hall.

"As expected!" The Three-Eyed Clan Great Expert's heart pounded, but when he tried to strike, he suddenly felt himself soaring as if riding on clouds and mist.

During this process, his third horizontal eye on his forehead clearly saw the precious bell clutched in his hand, only halfway activated. He also saw the two Great Experts from the Yan Clan and Han Clan, still in confusion, with their bodies separated from their heads, their heads thrown high.

"So, I have already perished! As expected, even with three Great Experts joining forces, for that mysterious unknown existence, it was just a convenient single strike!" After this last thought, the Three-Eyed Clan Great Expert felt himself fall into eternal silence.

This strike came too fast and too suddenly.

So sudden that even though the Three-Eyed Clan Great Expert was prepared, he still didn't have time to act.

It was also very strong, so strong that even as a Great Expert, he couldn't resist it from anywhere. With just one strike, both his Physical Body and soul were annihilated into nothingness.

Everything fell silent.

Including the Three-Eyed Clan Heavenly Pride that the Three-Eyed Clan Great Expert had swept up, they lost consciousness in an instant, not even knowing how they had died.

After all, if even a Great Expert didn't have time to react, what could they, these Nascent Soul Realm Heavenly Pride, do?

Invisibly, an unseen existence reached out a large hand, grasping the three perished Great Experts and the few Three-Eyed Clan Heavenly Pride, and then disappeared without a trace once again.

...

Deep underground.

"Three more Great Expert seeds are in hand." Lu Chen had already anticipated this, but there wasn't much of a ripple.

For Great Experts from small clans like the Three-Eyed Clan, Han Clan, and Yan Clan, whose strength was limited, his Spirit Clan Dao Soldier didn't even need to use its main body. It only used three Clone Dao Soldiers to end everything.

At this moment, a vast feedback force surged from the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin, rapidly strengthening Lu Chen.

"The seeds of the two Great Experts from the Heaven Day Race and Heaven Yin, and that Nether Clan member, have already become Dao Soldiers!" Lu Chen suddenly understood, then silently circulated the Mixed Origin Undying Scripture and began cultivating his Physical Body.

Lu Chen felt that as the Dao Soldiers he nurtured became stronger and he obtained more Dao Soldier seeds, the speed at which the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin nurtured Dao Soldiers seemed to be increasing.

Even the Dao Soldier seeds formed from Faxiang Realm Great Experts took less than a month to mature.

But that was good; this way, Lu Chen's strength would only grow faster.

After an unknown period, Lu Chen awoke from his cultivation: "My Body Refinement cultivation has completely entered the Nascent Soul Realm Ninth Level Great Completion!"

With just one more step, his Body Refinement strength could ascend to the Faxiang Realm.

By then, he would also be a true Great Expert.

However, he would only be the lowest level of Great Expert, because after achieving the Faxiang Realm, one needed to cultivate a Dharma Idol. Great Experts who had just entered the Faxiang Realm did not have a Dharma Idol and could only be considered pseudo-Great Experts.

And the Dharma Idol he needed to cultivate was also extremely difficult.

Of course, this was something for after achieving the Faxiang Realm; there was no need to think too much about it for now.

Lu Chen withdrew his thoughts and his consciousness naturally sank into the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin.

He wasn't particularly concerned about the Ten Transformations Dao Soldier nurtured from the two Great Experts of the Heaven Day Race and Heaven Yin.

He was more curious to see why Zai Yangyan, this Nether Clan member, needed to be nurtured for so long, just like the Faxiang Realm Great Experts.

If there were no surprises, the Nether Clan Dao Soldier should also be extremely special.

"Nether Clan, after living beings die, new consciousness is reborn in the Netherworld, transforming them into another kind of being." Lu Chen recalled some simple information about the Nether Clan, but in the end, he couldn't think of much.

This was because the Netherworld of this clan was too mysterious. Besides the Nether Clan itself, no one else had ever seen what the true Netherworld looked like.

"Hmm? This Nether Clan Dao Soldier?!" As soon as Lu Chen's consciousness sank into the Immortal Coffin, he was attracted by the newly nurtured Nether Clan Dao Soldier.

Because it was too unusual.

Other Dao Soldiers were like the Golden Armor Dao Soldier, emitting a dark golden luster, like golden armored divine generals.

But this Nether Clan Dao Soldier was different. Although it was also about ten feet tall, its entire body was as black as ink jade. When it was still, it was silent, but when it acted, it emitted a cold, chilling aura.

This...

Has it been nurtured into an Yin Soldier?

Although the Nether Clan was inherently quite 'yin' (associated with the underworld), Lu Chen really hadn't expected that after becoming a Dao Soldier seed and being nurtured into a Dao Soldier, it would still be so 'yin'.
