Chapter 674: Another Nascent Soul Slain, Everyone is Shocked!

The moment Qingluan Zhenren and Lu Changsheng burst out of the secret realm they felt the world freeze around them. An imposing bell hung in the air above crashing down toward them.

Waves of murderous energy surged forth as endless void shattered unable to withstand this overwhelming pressure.

Beyond the massive bell a five-colored chain like lightning roared toward the pair.

Lu Changsheng’s eyes shot out two golden beams revealing several hazy figures watching the secret realm’s exit targeting him and Qingluan Zhenren.

Lu Changsheng had anticipated ambushers waiting outside the secret realm ready to fish in troubled waters. The Da Luo Sword Embryo in his hands struck without mercy.

Beside him Qingluan Zhenren swung her Golden Halberd unleashing divine abilities with all her might shattering star clouds trying to break through the blockade and escape into the void.

“Slash!!!”

Endless sword light clashed with the massive bell and five-colored lightning creating a giant vortex that seemed apocalyptic instantly sending nearby Core Formation cultivators flying.

This level of battle was completely beyond what Core Formation cultivators could participate in.

Just as Qingluan Zhenren and Lu Changsheng entered the void the previous five emerged from the secret realm looking toward them continuing their attack.

Qingluan Zhenren’s face turned cold her eyes filled with soul-shaking authority like a peerless war god. She swung her halberd splitting the sky as crimson divine light erupted from her body like a phoenix firebird burning in all directions.

Above her head a Qingluan phantom screamed summoning endless heavenly winds that merged with the crimson light creating a storm of fire and wind that burned the void itself into collapse.

“You really won’t learn until you see your own coffin!”

Seeing the endless pressure surging from all directions above and below from the five Nascent Soul cultivators and those lurking in the shadows Lu Changsheng’s expression turned cold. His eyes showed an eerie state of black and white interweaving Buddha and demon as one as he looked toward the purple-robed elder who had emerged.

Though he had gone all out in the secret realm earlier he hadn’t yet used his Nine-Colored Tribulation Light Brahma Demon True Form or Descent Spirit Charm.

He had been worried about being intercepted within the secret realm unable to break through the blockade keeping those as trump cards.

Now outside with the Substitute Life Charm Misty Dust Banner and Qingluan Zhenren as backup he dared to unleash everything.

“Boom!”

He crushed the Descent Spirit Charm and a purple crystal dragon roared rushing into his surging body and spine.

At the same time his Nine Treasures Dao Bone in his chest exploded with a thunderous sound. Nine-colored divine light interwove and surged brilliant and gorgeous like a volcanic eruption rivers breaking their banks thunder rolling sending out grand and majestic sounds.

“Not good!”

The purple-robed elder instantly sensed a force that could destroy all techniques surge from Lu Changsheng’s chest. His heart pounded in warning as he hurriedly deployed his magical treasure before him.

“Boom boom boom!!!”

Nine-colored tribulation light shone forth with intricate runes swimming like tadpoles emanating an aura that could suppress and destroy all techniques making the magical treasure before him tremble.

Then behind Lu Changsheng appeared a phantom with unclear features of both Buddha and demon.

In that instant the world seemed to ring with pure and vast Buddhist chants of universal salvation and the howls of countless demons wanting to destroy heaven and earth.

“What kind of technique is this!?”

“A Dharma True Form! How is this possible!”

“What background does this person have!”

Everyone outside the secret realm was shocked seeing the Brahma Demon True Form.

This divine ability was extremely difficult to cultivate only a few Nascent Soul True Lords could master it.

Yet now Yangming Zhenren a Core Formation cultivator had displayed such an ability.

“No this isn’t a true Dharma True Form but how did he achieve this divine ability phantom that merges Buddhist and demonic natures as one!?”

“The nine-colored divine light from his chest gives me a sense of heaven-defying divine might that can destroy all techniques!”

“How can a Core Formation cultivator withstand such divine might erupting!”

The Nascent Soul cultivators watching Lu Changsheng grew increasingly shocked.

Especially Qingluan Zhenren and the purple-robed elder facing Lu Changsheng directly.

“Hum hum hum!”

The Da Luo Sword Embryo in Lu Changsheng’s hands grew with the wind tightly gripped by the Brahma Demon True Form. Then the illusory Yin-Yang Chaos Grinding Mill above his head began rotating thunderously as he stepped forward.

“Boom!”

With this step the space around him seemed to shatter endless black and white divine light interweaving spreading in all directions.

The purple-robed elder felt his magical treasure and magical energy begin to reverse and wither under the nine-colored tribulation light and black-white divine light.

“How is this possible!”

The purple-robed elder’s face showed great shock as he stared at Lu Changsheng before him unable to understand how a Core Formation cultivator could possess such divine abilities.

However remembering how True Lord Tiancang’s divine ability had been broken earlier he formed hand seals and spat out a mouthful of essence blood onto his magical treasure unleashing terrifying magical energy waves wanting to blast Lu Changsheng away.

The Yin-Yang Chaos Grinding Mill above Lu Changsheng’s head ground down like heaven itself negating and reversing the purple-robed elder’s magical treasure’s attack. He took another step forward appearing before the elder’s magical treasure like space compression and threw a punch.

The runes of the nine-colored tribulation light frantically interwove like gods and demons chanting grand and vast shocking the ten directions of heaven and earth.

At the same time the Brahma Demon True Form above his head swung down. Six arms of different colors and appearances could be seen flowing with light all merging into the sword embryo making its form slightly illusory.

“Boom boom boom!”

The intense nine-colored divine light and black-white yin-yang divine light exploded with brilliant radiance sweeping across the eight directions of heaven and earth. Then magnificent sword light shone down engulfing the purple-robed elder.

In just an instant the purple-robed elder’s magical energy aura rapidly dimmed and extinguished.

“This!”

“This… how is this possible”

The several Nascent Soul cultivators who had accompanied the purple-robed elder all changed expression showing incredible shock.

Even if a Nascent Soul monster had possessed and cultivated again as a Core Formation cultivator there should be limits right? Earlier he had gone crazy in the secret realm slaying True Lord Tiancang’s Dharma body without being crippled and now he had gone even further instantly suppressing the purple-robed elder! They knew the purple-robed elder’s strength ranked in the top three among their group of five!

“Kill!”

They immediately abandoned their pressure on Qingluan Zhenren charging toward Lu Changsheng.

Nearby Qingluan Zhenren was also shocked beyond measure by Lu Changsheng’s abilities.

Or rather since knowing him he had constantly refreshed her understanding.

“Great Qin Holy King.”

She recalled a piece of information she had received earlier.

However at this moment she dared not be distracted. Seeing several people charging toward Lu Changsheng she immediately spat out a mouthful of essence blood transmitting to the Qingluan phantom above her head: “Little Qing hold on!”

She had been able to persist so long under the siege of five Nascent Soul cultivators naturally relying on her spirit beast Qingluan and Dao soldiers strengthening herself sharing the pressure.

“Boom boom boom!!!”

Having consumed much earlier now facing cultivators who had been fishing in troubled waters and facing four people’s attacks even Qingluan Zhenren could barely continue only able to struggle on her sharp angular face gradually turning pale.

“Ah!!!”

Just then a piercing scream that seemed to come from the depths of the soul rang out.

Some Nascent Soul cultivators using eye techniques saw within the nine-colored tribulation light and black-white divine light the purple-robed elder’s robe flesh and bones constantly shattering blood spraying.

At this moment the purple-robed elder dared not hold back at all fully activating secret techniques burning his Nascent Soul essence his magical energy aura rising rapidly wanting to break through the nine-colored tribulation light Da Luo sword light and Yin-Yang Chaos Grinding Mill.

Under this life-burning eruption his aura climbed to mid-stage Nascent Soul wanting to struggle free and kill his way out.

However just then his Nascent Soul suddenly trembled as he heard several piercing whistles.

He saw a shadow like countless stars condensed flash past his pupils.

“Puff!”

The Nascent Soul spirit body within the purple-robed elder’s broken flesh was pierced by an almost formless flying knife beginning to collapse.

This flying knife was the fourth-grade extraordinary treasure Lu Changsheng had obtained from True Lord Loushan.

Though he hadn’t fully refined it to display its full power at this time the purple-robed elder was already in a gap from his eruption.

As the Nascent Soul spirit body was damaged the purple-robed elder’s aura shattered like a tide then was completely engulfed by the nine-colored tribulation light and Da Luo sword light his Dharma body thoroughly breaking.

“Whoosh!”

The purple-robed elder mobilized his last Nascent Soul essence his spirit body attempting to escape into the void like teleportation.

But how could Qingluan Zhenren let him escape!

Earlier in the secret realm she couldn’t use space divine abilities leading to True Lord Yunmei’s interference preventing her from slaying True Lord Tiancang’s Nascent Soul spirit body.

Now the purple-robed elder’s Nascent Soul was weak and both she and her spirit beast Qingluan possessed space divine abilities.

“Screech!”

The Qingluan phantom in the sky cried out in blood instantly dropping a beam of azure light that froze the escaping Nascent Soul making it rapidly dim seeming to begin dispersing.

“Golden Roc!”

Lu Changsheng’s face was pale blood trickling from his mouth. He sent the Yin-Yang Chaos Grinding Mill grinding over sealing the dispersing Nascent Soul spirit body then released the Golden-Winged Roc he had just stored in his Storage Belt gesturing for it to finish the job.

The Golden-Winged Roc whose feathers were dim and appearance was withered from the earlier eruption immediately cried out excitedly endless fierce demonic energy sweeping out opening its mouth to swallow the dispersing Nascent Soul spirit body.

“You dare!!!”

The Nascent Soul True Lord close to the purple-robed elder fully erupted burning his Nascent Soul essence his life’s magical treasure striking toward the Golden-Winged Roc.

Heavily injured withered and weakened how could the Golden Roc withstand such might its body instantly unable to move.

“Boom!”

Lu Changsheng stepped forward nine-colored tribulation light shining from his chest facing this person then the Brahma Demon True Form continued swinging the Da Luo sword light.

“This True Lord doesn’t believe a Core Formation cultivator can keep erupting!”

This Nascent Soul cultivator’s eyes were blood-red his face twisted as he shouted out speaking many people’s thoughts.

“Mere Nascent Soul how would you know the vastness of heaven and earth that there are always higher mountains and stronger people!”

Earlier trading injuries to slay Tiancang and now fully erupting with the Nine Treasures Dao Bone amplifying the nine-colored tribulation light Brahma Demon True Form Lu Changsheng truly could hardly erupt anymore.

But no matter what one’s spirit must not weaken lose the battle but not the aura!

“Boom boom boom!”

Nine-colored tribulation light and magnificent sword light slashed out clashing with terrifyingly powerful magical energy forming ocean-like magical energy aftershocks raging in all directions.

“Screech!”

The Golden-Winged Roc instantly relaxed the Heaven Roc Fighting Dragon Chart above its head burning then it opened its mouth and swallowed the almost shattered Nascent Soul demonic power and killing energy boiling refining the Nascent Soul spirit body within.

“This!”

Everyone seeing this scene felt their hearts turn cold.

A Nascent Soul had fallen!

A true Nascent Soul had fallen! It should be known that possessing Soul Escape and entering the void among peers unless laying down heaven-encompassing nets it was almost impossible to slay a Nascent Soul cultivator.

And now Yangming Zhenren a Core Formation cultivator and Qingluan Zhenren had thoroughly slain a Nascent Soul cultivator even eating his Nascent Soul spirit body.

This was still under siege by many people.

If the two joined forces finding any of them alone wouldn’t death be certain? “Kill!”

These people howled to the sky not daring to hold back at all vowing to slay Lu Changsheng and Qingluan Zhenren before them.

“Who else wants to die this master will grant their wish!”

Lu Changsheng’s pupils interwove black and white divine light two ‘swastika’ symbols frantically rotating in his pupils filled with boundless Buddhist intent but black demonic flames burned at his eye corners giving people a terrifyingly fierce aura.

These words echoed through heaven and earth making the Nascent Soul cultivators who wanted to step forward pause their forms freezing hearts turning cold not knowing if Lu Changsheng could still erupt.

After all theoretically it definitely wasn’t possible but this person could no longer be measured by common sense once judgment was wrong the price would be serious injury or even… death.

“Fellow Daoist Yangming let’s go!”

Qingluan Zhenren seeing Lu Changsheng in this state hurriedly transmitted.

Even if Lu Changsheng could still hold on she was about to be unable to.

Moreover she needed to save some strength to use divine abilities to shake off pursuit.

“Boom!”

At this time the world’s energy was chaotic Qingluan Zhenren swung her Golden Halberd breaking into the void with her Dao soldier battle formation wanting to take Lu Changsheng into the void current.

Lu Changsheng immediately retrieved the Golden-Winged Roc stepping into the void.

However seeing this scene some cultivators took heart deploying magical treasures wanting to test.

“Since you still want to die this master will grant your wishes!”

Lu Changsheng looking at the four people who were fierce and unwilling to give up and the Nascent Soul cultivators secretly watching him his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

Behind him the Brahma Demon True Form’s Buddhist light demon patterns and demonic energy these three energies began frantically surging making the surrounding world’s spiritual energy begin to grow restless.

“Not good!”

The frontmost Nascent Soul cultivator seeing Lu Changsheng’s action his pupils suddenly contracted rapidly retreating.

“Quickly stop him!”

Some Nascent Soul cultivators shouted even Qingluan Zhenren beside him was shocked by Lu Changsheng’s behavior.

“Whoosh!”

However the Brahma Demon True Form directly flew toward them.

“Run!”

“Quickly run!”

“Madman a complete madman!”

Though the Brahma Demon True Form in their view wasn’t a true Dharma True Form they had all seen its might holding the Da Luo Sword Embryo earlier.

So this self-destructive-like energy made everyone’s hair stand on end.

The Brahma Demon True Form contracted and expanded flickering then suddenly burst apart.

“Boom boom boom!!!”

Earth-shattering explosion sounds rang out in the void seemingly with Buddhist chants demon howls and myriad beast roars. Destructive power mixed with Buddhist demonic and beast energies spread from the void the entire area appearing with spatial cracks.

Even though this was the Endless Desert the sand within a hundred miles shattered under the rippling aftershocks.

Besides the nearby Nascent Soul cultivators spitting blood their bodies and robes damaged there were several Core Formation cultivators lurking or waiting who under these aftershocks spat blood faces pale some even having half their bodies explode.

“What exactly is this person after…”

“This wave this person should be thoroughly dead right?”

“Yangming Zhenren…”

Some Nascent Soul cultivators looked toward Lu Changsheng and Qingluan Zhenren who had vanished into the void their faces full of shock muttering.

“Go!”

People die for wealth birds die for food.

Though Lu Changsheng’s displayed battle power and ruthlessness made everyone fearful after consideration several Nascent Soul cultivators still entered the void wanting to find the pair’s energy traces.

After all the two had battled seven Nascent Soul cultivators erupting so many techniques their magical energy was chaotic their state extremely poor probably couldn’t continue.

Even if they could still fight they definitely had no significant battle power left.

In the void black void currents surged like ghost cries and wolf howls.

A beautiful and elegant azure Qingluan bird like teleporting raised endless azure heavenly winds breaking through layer after layer of chaos.

On the bird Qingluan Zhenren’s face was pale and weak her azure armor full of mottled cracks.

Beside her Lu Changsheng’s black hair was messy his robes damaged his face completely bloodless pale white.

As Lu Changsheng’s surging Nascent Soul-comparable blood energy and magical energy receded she sensed thick medicinal power flowing through his four limbs and hundred meridians.

But she could see Lu Changsheng’s current situation was extremely serious.

His flesh and magical energy were almost exhausted his meridians and dantian after the earlier eruption had suffered serious damage almost ninety percent shattered.

In this condition though his life force was sustained slowly healing it was extremely serious even if he woke he might be crippled.

“Why…”

Qingluan Zhenren looking at the unconscious Lu Changsheng muttered unable to understand why he had helped her so much.

Though the two had a friendship and she had helped him before it wasn’t worth fighting so desperately.

“Mu Qingfeng could this person fight so desperately for you because he’s your skirt-chaser?”

She recalled True Lord Yin Lei’s earlier mocking words to her.

Though she hadn’t taken it to heart seeing Lu Changsheng’s state now the words couldn’t help but surface in her mind.

“Or does his wife have a way to heal him?”

At this time Qingluan Zhenren thought of Hong Lian whom she had met once.

Though Hong Lian had shown Core Formation fifth layer magical energy at the time according to her judgment the latter was definitely a Nascent Soul cultivator just displaying Core Formation cultivation externally.

“No matter what this favor owed is great…”

Looking at the unconscious Lu Changsheng Qingluan Zhenren’s angular pale face was solemn seeming to be pondering making some decision.

She Mu Qingfeng had cultivated for several hundred years never liking to owe others favors.

But now though the other’s wife might have ways to save him she found it hard to repay today’s kindness.

“Little Qing quickly go!”

After pondering briefly she seemed to have made some decision her eyes sharp with radiance looking toward the azure bird below then suddenly patting her dantian her Nascent Soul spirit body similar to her appearance appearing spitting out a mouthful of essence.

Instantly the azure Qingluan bird like an azure escape light broke through endless void currents directly flying several hundred miles away.
