Saint Son Qin Wuyan exclaimed.
Hidden in the shadows, the Evil Cult elder, Li Wusheng, wore a shifting expression. He finally began to rapidly gather his Power. Yin energy surged within him like a tidal wave, and wisps of black mist seeped out from his pores.
He activated his Demonic Martial True Form in a near instant.
His body swelled as if inflated, growing to over three meters tall in the blink of an eye. His aura was terrifying, veins bulged on his skin, and scales covered his body. A thick, savage tail sprouted from his back and began whipping about.
At a glance, he looked like a bizarre man-dragon!
Indeed.
He had fused with the blood essence of a flood dragon, and the power he’d obtained was that of a flood dragon.
Both his physical body and his True Essence far surpassed those of ordinary cultivators at the same level.
A supremely powerful Inner Realm aura erupted from his body.
Even his eyes turned a pale, golden color.
"Since the Saint Son wants me to buy some time, I suppose I have no choice but to risk my life for the cause!"
His voice was hoarse and low. With incredible speed, his entire body shot forward with a SWOOSH, pouncing on the rapidly approaching figure.
But Chen Xuan didn’t even spare him a glance.
The instant his opponent pounced, Chen Xuan swung his fist. Raging flames erupted from his body, and the terrifying aura of the Inner Realm Third Layer surged forth.
On top of that, layered and fused with his Inner Realm Third Layer power were the Innate Tyrant Body, Primordial Barbaric Energy, Primordial Unity Energy... and countless other forces.
The power of that single punch was unimaginable.
Li Wusheng’s face filled with terror. He was instantly overwhelmed by the stench of death.
Even with his Demon-Dragon True Form activated, he knew he couldn’t block it. He felt like a pathetic insect before this punch.
He hastily crossed his arms, pouring all his Inner Realm Power into them to form layer upon layer of terrifying defenses. He planted his feet firmly on the ground, every vein on his body bulging.
CRACK!
BOOM!
The terrifying, muffled sound of an explosion shattered the darkness.
With it came billowing flames and the sickening sound of shattering bone and flying flesh.
It was as if a savage, terrifying dragon of fire had torn through the darkness. The immense power shattered Mr. Li’s arms on the spot. He vomited a torrent of blood as the bones throughout his body let out a series of sickening CRACKS.
His dragon scales crumbled inch by inch, filling the air like shrapnel.
His entire body was sent flying backward like a cannonball, crashing down hundreds of meters away with a loud THUD, right in front of the Evil Cult’s Saint Son.
The Evil Cult’s Saint Son’s expression changed as his gaze swept over the scene.
"Elder Li!"
He couldn’t believe his eyes.
Elder Li, a master of the Inner Realm Second Layer, hadn’t even withstood a single blow before being blasted away!
The man had fused with the blood of a flood dragon, after all.
He was supposed to grow stronger as the battle raged on, an expert at overcoming stronger opponents!
"Go... Saint Son, run..."
Elder Li spat out a mouthful of bloody foam, his face twisted in agony.
That single blow hadn’t just shattered his arms; its immense power had also pulverized his internal organs and all of his meridians.
Even with the constant healing from the flood dragon’s blood, he couldn’t hold on much longer.
Their power levels weren’t even in the same league.
Facing Chen Xuan, he felt like an ant trying to shake a mountain!
Qin Wuyan’s face was filled with terror. He glanced at the nearly complete ritual, but ultimately didn’t dare to hesitate, turning to flee.
But just as he turned, his body froze. His face went deathly pale and he began to tremble uncontrollably, his eyes wide with utter horror.
An imposing, terrifying figure wreathed in molten lava had appeared behind him at some unknown time.
The crimson-gold flames constantly twisted and intertwined around it, radiating a terrifying aura and scorching heat.
A single glance was enough to fill him with endless dread...
But when he saw the figure’s face clearly, Qin Wuyan’s horror reached its absolute peak.
’Chen Xuan?’
’The man before me is actually number one on the Human List, Chen Xuan?!’
Suddenly, he saw the fiery figure before him slowly raise a single finger.
The next moment!
Qin Wuyan’s scalp went numb with terror, his breath caught in his throat, and he desperately tried to dodge.
PFFT!
BANG!
Qin Wuyan let out a bloodcurdling scream. His chest had been pierced through. The fiery power nearly cooked his entire torso, blasting his clothes to shreds as his body was sent flying. He crashed down dozens of meters away with a loud THUD, writhing in unimaginable agony.
Chen Xuan, his eyes indifferent, paid him no mind and walked straight toward the six-pointed star pattern.
At this moment, the six-pointed star pattern was still blazing with blood-red light. Clusters of this light gathered together, vaguely forming a massive, blurry, blood-colored gate.
The blood-colored gate was even beginning to show faint signs of solidifying.
’Dark Sacred Spirit...’
Chen Xuan carefully examined the six-pointed star pattern before him, his brow slowly furrowing.
’Hm, I don’t get it.’
’But that doesn’t matter.’
’As long as I destroy it, things should be fine.’
Under the despairing gazes of Elder Li and Qin Wuyan, the already terrifying flames around Chen Xuan erupted once more like a volcano, surging into the sky. The horrifying aura illuminated more than half of the surrounding darkness.
"ROAR!"
"BELLOW!"
The resounding cry of a dragon and the roar of an elephant rang out once more.
The terrifying, giant figures of a dragon and an elephant reappeared in mid-air. They were formed entirely of coalesced flame, blazing brilliantly and so vividly lifelike that every scale and every strand of fur could be seen clearly.
An extreme and terrifying pressure radiated outward in all directions...
Qin Wuyan’s face was ashen, his fear reaching its peak.
’That heaven-rending, earth-shattering power from before... it was all coming from this one young man...’
