Chapter 392: Sword Pool Site, Tricolor Divine Light! (4k)
"You seem rather cheerful?"
A calm and indifferent voice echoed across the ruins.
Hong Ze Yuan's expression froze for a moment.
The next instant,
The large hand piercing through his chest suddenly clenched with immense force.
Boom!
The still-beating heart, emitting steam, was instantly crushed into a cloud of blood mist.
Immediately after,
Qin Zheng's arm trembled like a dragon, unleashing a torrent of powerful force that shattered Hong Ze Yuan's body.
But the blood and flesh that filled the sky did not fall directly to the ground; instead, they quickly gathered, attempting to re-form his body.
At the same time, the immortal sword, suspended in mid-air, exuded a slaughtering intent. Its chilling sword light firmly locked onto Qin Zheng.
"Hmph!"
Qin Zheng coldly snorted, and his fingers instantly clenched into a fist, as if hammering the void, and with a punch, he struck out.
Boom!!
With that punch, the void seemed to shatter like a mirror, cracking with countless dense fissures.
Following this, a force akin to a flooding river erupted, instantly materializing and surging forth.
Vibrating, the immortal sword emitted a mournful hum and was then sent flying into the sky, reaching a height of ten thousand zhang.
The demon body, on the verge of re-forming, was also shattered into countless fragments by that punch, leaving no chance of revival.
Only a drop of scarlet blood managed to escape the raging force and was about to flee into the void, disappearing without a trace.
But just then, a palm imprint exuding the chaotic, infinite intent descended, instantly trapping the drop of Dharmaraja blood within its palm.
"How did you change so quickly!"
On Qin Zheng's palm, the Dharmaraja blood churned, and a solemn voice emanated from it.
Even though it possessed partial Dharmaraja memories and had witnessed countless arrogant heavenly geniuses, at this moment, it still displayed a shocked expression.
From the Taiyi Void Realm to the Great Demon Realm, and now capable of crushing a Taiyi Spirit Realm being! All within less than a year!
Such terrifying talent; if it were the era of the intact heavens and earth, it might have become a truly remarkable figure!
Qin Zheng didn't waste words; as his palm closed, he instantly extinguished the spirituality contained within that drop of Dharmaraja blood.
Simultaneously, he arrived before the stone statue, and with a flick of his finger, a black flame shot out, instantly landing on Lu Xun.
Boom!!
Fierce flames soared into the sky, and Lu Xun, who was on the brink of life and death with his vitality about to be extinguished, was temporarily saved.
Then, Qin Zheng reached out and removed him from the stone statue, gently placing him on the ground.
Whoosh!
At that moment, Su Yang arrived with the boy.
"Master!!"
Upon seeing the figure within the black flame, Lu You Shan's expression changed drastically, and he rushed forward.
But a hand blocked his path, and a calm voice spoke, "This black flame is saving him."
The boy struggled to contain the surging emotions in his heart and watched as the figure within the black flame gradually stabilized.
Qin Zheng's gaze fell upon the blood-soaked statue, and his eyes flashed with contemplation.
Then he spoke, "Can this statue stop the Demon Race Dharmaraja's plot?"
Although he wasn't entirely clear on the full picture, just a glance upon arrival had given him a rough guess about the whole situation.
The Human Race elder who had almost been killed realized that the appearance of this fragment of the Heavenly Palace was part of the Demon Race Dharmaraja's scheme.
He then discovered the method to thwart the Demon Race Dharmaraja's plan and had already taken action.
That was why the Dharmaraja blood-possessed Celestial Demon Sect demon, sensing it, had chased after them.
Hearing Qin Zheng's words, the boy hadn't responded yet when Lu Xun, within the black flame, struggled to speak,
"Destroying the stone statue will trigger the killing array and foil the Demon Race Dharmaraja's plot, but the price is that all beings within this fragment of the Heavenly Palace will die!"
He turned his head to look at Qin Zheng and weakly spoke again, "I don't know how that Demon Race Dharmaraja infiltrated this place."
"He's already discovered my actions, and he will definitely use all means to stop us, even accelerating the speed at which the opportunity is taken away!"
"We must act faster!"
As Lu Xun spoke, his tone became more agitated, and his entire aura grew increasingly fervent, like a fleeting glimpse of life.
"Master!"
Upon seeing this, the boy could no longer hold back and took a step forward, falling at the elder's feet.
"Master, don't talk! Just rest and recover! Let's go home!"
The boy's voice quivered with tears.
Lu Xun's expression turned solemn, and he said sternly, "With the Demon Race Dharmaraja about to break free, if we don't seize the chance to stop him, what home will we have left?"
"As long as we kill all the demons in this fragment of the Heavenly Palace and continue to suppress the Great Dharmaraja of the demons, our human race will have a great opportunity to turn things around!"
"Even if it means sacrifice, this is something we, as humans, should do without hesitation!"
Lu Xun's voice was firm, reverberating through the ruins, causing Su Yang's expression to stir slightly.
Qin Zheng remained silent, only reaching out to gently touch the stone statue. The Virtue Scroll showed no signs of change.
Seeing his appearance, Lu Xun's eyes darkened, and the black flames covering his body quickly retracted to his heart, then completely dissipated.
He turned his gaze back to his disciple, extending his hand to gently caress the boy's head, his expression changing from stern to kind.
Then, he slowly spoke, "My inner universe is shattered, and the Dao Palace has been forcibly taken out. I won't live for much longer."
"You're still young and unable to change the grand scheme of things. Go and inform every human you meet of the news I've discovered."
"I believe there will be..."
Before the elder could finish his sentence, Su Yang had already taken a step forward, coming close and speaking in a solemn tone, "I'll do it!"
"Su Yang has always sought death, but my hatred for the demons keeps me alive."
"If there's a chance, I can kill all the demons in this fragment of the Heavenly Palace! Su Yang is eager for this opportunity!"
Su Yang's voice was firm, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.
If such an opportunity arose, he naturally wouldn't need to smash the stone statue again. As long as he entered inside, that old fellow wouldn't be able to escape.
Lu Xun's aura grew weaker, and he lifted his head, gazing at Su Yang. He nodded slightly, then shook his head.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, fellow Daoist. But to trigger the killing array, it's not enough to merely destroy this stone statue."
"With your strength, it may be challenging, but I believe you can definitely succeed!"
"I won't live, but my young disciple can take you to find the other hidden array eyes!"
"But..."
Bang!
Before Lu Xun could finish his sentence, a loud shattering sound echoed.
The blood-stained stone statue shattered into four pieces, scattering on the ground.
A deafening rumble followed, as if triggering some change, but it lasted only for a few breaths before quieting down.
However, everyone's perception clearly sensed that the killing intent in the heavens and earth became even denser than before!
Qin Zheng perceived the changes in the heavens and earth, then retracted his right hand, turning to look at Lu Xun. He calmly spoke, "As long as the greatest opportunity in this fragment of the Heavenly Palace isn't taken, the Great Dharmaraja of the demons won't be able to escape, right?"
Lu Xun nodded solemnly.
If this elder agreed, the chances of success for this matter would be quite high!
But Qin Zheng's next sentence caused his expression to change instantly.
"I won't trigger the killing array."
Qin Zheng looked at the elder with weakening aura.
Then, he paused slightly before continuing, "I also won't let anyone obtain that greatest opportunity."
He knew that the words the other party had spoken from the beginning were meant for him.
However, Qin Zheng chose to remain silent.
Silence meant refusal.
It wasn't that he was afraid to die, but he didn't think it was worth it.
He possessed the Virtue Scroll and had obtained the subsequent chapters of the Primordial Golden Seal, even unlocking a portion of the Power Divine Treasury.
With such a foundation, if he accumulated enough merit, he would definitely have a chance to attain the Great Dharmaraja Realm!
After hearing Qin Zheng's words, Lu Xun stared at him in shock.
After a few breaths, his panicked expression calmed, and he smiled, nodding, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, fellow Daoist."
After saying this, the old man's head slowly drooped, and his aura completely dissipated.
The boy could no longer control himself and rushed into the old man's embrace, sobbing loudly.
Qin Zheng fell silent for a moment before bowing to the old man.
The elder had died for the human race and deserved respect, which warranted this bow.
After doing so, Qin Zheng turned his gaze to Su Yang and asked, "What are your plans now?"
His decision not to trigger the killing array didn't mean he wouldn't allow others to do so.
Su Yang hesitated, then looked at Qin Zheng and said firmly, "Senior, please leave quickly. I'm going to trigger the killing array!"
Since triggering the killing array would wipe out all existence within the fragment of the Heavenly Palace, leaving beforehand would ensure no harm.
"I'll go search for other array eye locations!"
The young Lu You Shan stood up at this moment, his eyes filled with determination as he spoke.
Qin Zheng nodded lightly and waved his hand, and a longsword appeared in his hand.
"This sword might be of help to you."
After being refined into a Palace-Guarding Artifact, the Immortal Slaying Sword Intent could further enhance its upper limit, gradually becoming more substantial.
At this moment, a longsword condensed from a strand of sword qi was not something an ordinary Taiyi Spirit Realm cultivator could match.
"Senior..."
Su Yang took the longsword, his expression showing a desire to speak but holding back.
Qin Zheng smiled slightly and said, "As I said, I won't let anyone obtain that supreme opportunity."
"Next, let's see who can activate the killing array faster, or who can slay demons and eliminate monsters more quickly!"
"Take care!"
As the words fell, Qin Zheng turned and transformed into a gust of clear wind, instantly disappearing from Su Yang's sight.
Su Yang fell silent for a moment, then turned to look at the youth. He saw the youth properly collect the corpse of his master.
Then, he turned his gaze to Lu You Shan and said solemnly, "Let's go, Senior!"
At this moment, high in the sky, a drop of crimson blood hovered over Qin Zheng's palm, and his eyes became distinctively black and white.
Cause and Effect Dao One Seal!
Since he was aware that the Great Dharmaraja of the Demon Race had infiltrated this fragment of the Heavenly Palace by possessing a demon's blood, Qin Zheng naturally wouldn't let him off.
Moreover, if he didn't deal with his opponent beforehand, there might be countless troubles later.
Su Yang couldn't stop him.
Under the activation of the Cause and Effect Dao One Seal, countless cause and effect threads appeared in the world, vividly clear before his eyes.
The Great Dharmaraja's blood on his palm also extended two cause and effect threads, both in the same direction.
Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, and immediately followed the direction of the cause and effect threads, stepping into the void.
Deep within the ruins of the Heavenly Palace.
Before a massive Sword Pool.
All around it, countless divine swords with radiant sword auras were embedded, filling the void with a terrifying sword intent.
In the center of the Sword Pool, a huge smelting cauldron floated, bound by thick chains from all directions, trapping it tightly.
It seemed that within the cauldron, there was an extremely special and terrifying existence.
Numerous figures with different builds and powerful auras surrounded the Sword Pool.
Unconsciously, they all held unique divine swords.
It was these divine swords hidden in various fragments of the Heavenly Palace that had guided them to this Sword Pool!
And this was the place of supreme opportunity within this fragment of the Heavenly Palace!
"What does this mean?"
"Have we gathered so many people just to fight over something in that broken cauldron, something we don't even know?"
A large, burly man with two giant axes on his back held a divine sword like a toy and impatiently spoke.
"If you don't want it, you can leave first."
As the burly man's words fell, a slender man in black robes stepped forward, a cold smile on his face.
His tone was filled with disdain.
"You dog! Do you want to die?!"
The burly man immediately flew into a rage.
"Want to fight? Let's see who dies first!"
The slender man was fearless.
Two Taiyi Spirit Realm auras burst forth, causing the divine swords from all directions to tremble.
The massive chains also rattled loudly.
The powerful cultivators around frowned, their gazes filled with displeasure as they looked at the two conflicting men, about to say something.
Shua!
Suddenly, a dazzling tricolor divine light appeared, instantly passing through the two men in conflict.
Then, in everyone's sight, after the tricolor divine light, the two Taiyi Spirit Realm cultivators instantly turned into a pile of white bones, falling to the ground.
The two Taiyi Spirit Realm cultivators didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy before being directly killed by the tricolor divine light!
The gazes of the powerful cultivators immediately turned to a tall, majestic youth in the corner of the Sword Pool, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
Kong Yu!
The most likely candidate to attain the Great Dharmaraja in the Primordial Cavern Heaven!
His strength with the tricolor divine light was already known, but he never expected it to be this powerful, taking a deep breath, his eyes filled with awe.
Two Taiyi Spirit Realm cultivators didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy before being directly killed by the tricolor divine light!
As the focus of everyone's attention, Kong Yu's expression was calm, his gaze fixed on the two demons not far away from the beginning.
The familiar stench of the Celestial Demon Sect made him aware of their trail.
But he was also puzzled. When did the Celestial Demon Sect have two Taiyi Spirit Realm cultivators? And they even posed a threat to him!
