Chapter 429: Ten Suns Hovering, Heavenly Peng True Body, Killing the Old Dog, Annihilating Yan Meng
Within Incense Fragrance Valley, the battle raged on with intense fervor.
Outside, numerous loose cultivators were eager to witness every detail of the fight.
As Luo Chen's slaughter intensified, the tide of battle gradually turned in his favor.
The Fifth Ji sighed, shaking his head in admiration, "I retract my previous disdain for him. This young man led the Luo Tian Association to resist Yan Meng, proving his strength. He united all sides and manipulated various forces to serve his purpose, demonstrating exceptional skill and an extraordinary mind."
"In this great war, he took the lead, causing mountains to collapse and the earth to split, breaking through Yan Meng's powerful means. His courage and decisiveness are truly commendable."
"If it were just that, I'd have nothing more to say."
"But he can also set aside his pride and engage in acts that others would disdain, using his strength to bully the weak. This shows that he is unconstrained by trivialities and only does what benefits himself."
"A person like this..."
A voice interrupted from the side.
"Fellow Daoist, you've understated his abilities. His understanding of the various sect situations and the overall battlefield is as clear as if he were watching a fire. His observational skills are incredibly sharp, even among us Golden Core cultivators!"
The Fifth Ji was taken aback, then slowly nodded.
"Indeed! He is not only strong and skilled but also has sharp observation and an extraordinary mind. Yet, he is unconstrained by trivialities and seeks revenge for even minor slights. If he survives this battle and is fortunate enough to reach the Golden Core stage, he will likely become a generation's hero among the Thirty-Six Domains of the East!"
What defines a hero?
A solitary individual who is a formidable force, capable of occupying spiritual mountains and great rivers, can establish a sect and a lineage. This is the hero of the cultivation world!
"Tsk, tsk, your praise for him is so high?"
"He deserves it."
"Hey, you think he'll survive?"
The Fifth Ji's gaze deepened as he looked up into the sky.
"If he continues slaughtering like this, Yan Meng's roots will be severed. Do you think Qin Taoran will just sit by and watch?"
...
On the battlefield, Luo Chen's determination burned like ice in his eyes, but his heart was filled with raging flames of killing intent.
One, two, three...
As he moved across the battlefield, within dozens of breaths, his speed far surpassed the Foundation Establishment stage. With his longsword, he effortlessly dispatched his opponents, leaving almost no one who could match him.
In a short time, more than thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators fell under his sword.
Most of them were at the early Foundation Establishment stage, but there were also six or seven late-stage Foundation Establishment masters among them.
He was truly ruthless, slaughtering his enemies with ease.
Although his methods were not honorable, mostly relying on surprise attacks and assassinations, he had single-handedly changed the course of the battle!
If he could continue like this a few more times, regardless of the situation above in the Nine Heavens or how the Golden Core cultivators were faring, Yan Meng's roots would be completely severed by him.
With such rampant killing, it was impossible for him to go unnoticed.
In fact, halfway through, the Yan Meng cultivators had already realized this.
Upon Xiao Lian's stern shout, several Yan Meng executives began to surround and intercept Luo Chen.
Among the six or seven late-stage Foundation Establishment masters, most were chasing after Luo Chen.
However, Luo Chen, who was difficult to deal with, ignored them. He effortlessly defeated the weaker ones with his unmatched physique and super-fast speed.
"Not enough!"
"Far from enough!"
"How you blocked our Luo Tian Association's door and killed us, I'll repay you tenfold, a hundredfold!"
Luo Chen's killing intent boiled over.
He suddenly stopped, landing on the roof of a tall palace within Incense Fragrance Valley.
At that very moment, ten Yan Meng cultivators surrounded him from all directions.
"We've finally blocked him!"
"He's too fast; we can't keep up at all."
"But such speed can't be sustained for long. He must be running out of energy now."
"Everyone, prepare to kill Dan Chenzi and avenge our fallen brothers!"
Among these ten cultivators, some were at the fifth or sixth layer of Foundation Establishment, while others were at the late stage.
This lineup, if placed outside, would be considered the second-best under a top-tier force.
Even within a large sect, they were not to be underestimated.
However!
Facing the encirclement of ten cultivators, Luo Chen merely grinned viciously.
"You've surrounded me?"
"No!"
"It's I who have surrounded you!"
The next moment, the Black Flame Sword burst forth with heavy spiritual light, and a radiant sun rose into the sky.
Using the sword to control the technique, the Radiant Sun Technique!
This was undoubtedly his most proficient second-tier spell among all his abilities.
Derived from the first-tier Fireball Technique, through constant practice and optimization, and further refined with the original Radiant Sun Technique incantation, he had perfected it to the Grand Perfection stage.
By now, with his powerful spiritual sense and strength, he could execute it instantly.
Although its power fell short of causing mountain collapses, the Grand Perfection Radiant Sun Technique could proudly dominate against peers at the same Foundation Establishment stage!
As the blazing sun rose, the ten Foundation Establishment cultivators' faces turned solemn, but they remained unconcerned.
It was just a second-tier Radiant Sun Technique, after all!
However, as Luo Chen's sword tip continuously swallowed and spat, launching one massive fireball after another, their expressions changed.
"Retreat!"
"Quickly, fall back!"
Watching the ten cultivators hastily retreating, Luo Chen grinned viciously.
"Too late!"
In the next instant, ten suns hovered in the sky, and flame streams erupted! Boom! Boom! Boom...
A deafening series of explosions erupted one after another.
One explosion after another, in rapid succession, even forming a chain reaction.
The mighty force swept through the land, leaving destruction in its wake. Buildings crumbled, and the earth shattered wherever it passed.
Ten Foundation Establishment True Cultivators from the Flame Alliance, within the blast radius, each employed their life-saving techniques.
However, the cumulative power of the explosion was not to be underestimated, even by Golden Core Senior Cultivators.
How could they withstand it?
Within a few breaths, all ten of them fell one after another amidst frantic screams.
Not only that!
Scorching air currents, like waves, surged towards the sky.
A mushroom-like cloud rose, and wherever it passed, Qi Condensation Cultivators were instantly annihilated, while Foundation Establishment Cultivators retreated in madness, spitting blood.
The entire Incense Fragrance Valley, within a radius of several dozen li, was instantly cleared by the surging waves of energy.
Countless cultivators who had retreated to the rear stopped fighting, gazing at this scene in shock and horror.
With just one strike, Luo Chen had inflicted heavy casualties on the Flame Alliance!
Just then, a heart-wrenching roar echoed from the mouth of the Flame Alliance's Sect Master, Xiao Lian, piercing through the air and reaching the heavens.
"Elder!"
Responding to the roar was Qin Taoran's furious voice.
"Scum!"
The next moment, a colossal furnace, like a falling meteor, descended with fiery wings, crashing down with a thunderous roar.
The overwhelming force of its descent startled everyone.
On top of the furnace, Qin Taoran, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, stood firmly, his eyes filled with rage as he stared at Luo Chen.
He had endured the attacks of Feng Ming and Heartless Immortal, and was now severely injured.
But!
Today, he would kill Luo Chen to vent his pent-up anger!
Behind him, Feng Ming and Heartless Immortal hurriedly pursued with super-fast speed, their faces filled with anxiety.
However, he couldn't afford to pay them any attention.
His eyes were fixed solely on Luo Chen!
Inside the Incense Fragrance Valley, after the ten Radiant Sun Techniques exploded, Luo Chen's spiritual energy temporarily entered a vacuum state.
It wasn't that he had exhausted his energy.
With his optimization of spells and his current spiritual energy, comparable to a Foundation Establishment Grand Completion Cultivator, he was not yet at the point of depletion.
It was just that after drawing a large amount of spiritual energy, his divine soul was exhausted, and he couldn't extract any more.
Amidst the thick smoke, Luo Chen stood amidst the ruins, looking up at the colossal furnace descending with a thunderous roar.
The corners of his mouth suddenly curled into a vicious smile.
"Old fool, we've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Before he finished speaking, his body transformed.
The illusory wings behind him rapidly solidified and expanded as his blood and energy surged.
They stretched to their limit, reaching nearly ten zhang in length!
His body also underwent a frenzied transformation.
His hands turned into sharp claws, and his bones grew and spread, revealing the vast flesh and blood he had cultivated for many years.
Inside his body, the blood that had just completed a renewal surged like giant waves.
In the blink of an eye, a three-zhang giant body, no weaker than Wang Yuan's, and even surpassing it, appeared before countless onlookers.
However, unlike Wang Yuan's Heavenly Peng True Body transformation, Luo Chen's three-zhang giant body retained a human-like appearance.
This was the result of the 'Ten Thousand Paths Converging' cultivation technique, which had merged with Wang Yuan's 'Giant Spirit Transformation'.
But the transformation wasn't over yet!
Streams of blood and spiritual energy burst out from his body, merging and transforming into pure white energy.
This energy then descended upon Luo Chen, turning into pieces of pure white armor.
From a distance, it resembled the feathers of a giant Kunpeng eagle.
At this moment, Luo Chen stood tall on the ground of the Incense Fragrance Valley, his body transformed into a giant spirit, with wings sprouting from his back, half-demon, half-human, like an ancient beast from the distant past.
This process seemed lengthy, but the transformation occurred in the blink of an eye.
In the sky, Qin Taoran had just begun to descend, standing on his lifebound treasure, the Taiyang Furnace.
Heartless Immortal and Feng Ming also followed closely behind.
Upon witnessing this scene, Heartless Immortal paused, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Feng Ming's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he didn't stop his pursuit.
Qin Taoran's pupils constricted, and he roared, "How dare you be so arrogant with your demon-like transformation!"
His body surged with immense spiritual power, and the Taiyang Furnace descended even faster.
Inside the Incense Fragrance Valley, Luo Chen took a deep breath and opened his mouth wide.
He spat out a cloud of red mist.
The red mist expanded, turning into layers upon layers of miasma.
No!
It wasn't miasma, but killing intent!
And it wasn't of low grade, at least third-grade, causing those who witnessed it to pale in fear.
This killing intent was so potent that if it touched magical treasures, years of cultivation would be wasted.
Luo Chen, after transforming into the Heavenly Peng True Body, unleashed a third-grade spell—the Fiery Miasma!
His wings trembled, stirring up a violent wind that pushed the red miasma towards the sky.
"With such a method, you think you can stop me? It's just a delusional fantasy!"
Qin Taoran's thoughts raced as the Taiyang Furnace also erupted with a powerful killing intent, the Flame Sun True Killing Intent, which he had collected not long ago, surpassing the various grades of earth fire killing intent that Luo Chen had haphazardly gathered.
Soon!
The Fiery Miasma and the Flame Sun True Killing Intent met.
In the blink of an eye, Luo Chen's Fiery Miasma dissipated like snow under the sun, without any resistance.
Feng Ming, who was chasing closely behind Qin Taoran, had a slight change in expression, "That Luo Chen, is too arrogant. How can a mere body-cultivation technique compare to a Golden Core Senior Cultivator?"
Just as he was about to summon his treasure and pursue Qin Taoran, he suddenly heard a movement in his ear.
"Come back!"
"Fellow Daoist, hurry back!"
Feng Ming's body suddenly froze, and he looked up at the Heartless Immortal in the sky, puzzled.
"Why..."
Before the Heartless Immortal could answer, Qin Taoran's mournful scream provided the explanation.
In his line of sight, the blazing miasma, the Yang True Killing Qi that his lifebound treasure had spat out, was being eradicated with ease.
His descent faced no further obstacles.
However!
In the final moment when the blazing miasma dissipated, a black bead suddenly appeared.
Looking at that thing, Feng Ming's soul trembled, and he barely had time to cover himself with his lifebound treasure.
"Thunder Immortal Pearl!!"
A thunderbolt suddenly cracked in the clear sky.
As the black bead split open, lightning bolts intertwined like dragons and snakes, and thunder rumbled!
The terrifying power of the lightning tore through the sky.
Boom!!!
The awe-inspiring might burst forth in an instant.
Such power caused people's faces to pale and their hearts to tremble.
Countless onlooking cultivators couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
In the sky, Feng Ming's expression was dazed, and he muttered, "Is that the Thunder Immortal Pearl that came from the cave mansion where the Great Sage White Night sat in meditation?"
The Heartless Immortal nodded solemnly, "Without a doubt. This one-time use treasure possesses immense power and is extremely lethal to Golden Core cultivators like us. If you had been any closer, you would have been seriously injured, even if you didn't die."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your reminder. I will remember this favor," Feng Ming regained his senses, swallowing hard, still shaken.
Looking at the thunder and lightning dancing like dragons and snakes in the void, he couldn't help but ask, "Can Qin Taoran survive such an attack?"
The Heartless Immortal frowned, "According to reason, it's unlikely to survive at such a close distance. However, Qin Taoran is the Yan Meng's Enforcement Elder, and although his cultivation is not high, his combat power is extremely formidable. Especially his Taiyang Furnace, which he has been refining day and night since it was a treasure embryo, is both offensive and defensive, and even the two of us combined would find it difficult to break."
Can he survive?
At this moment, everyone's hearts were gripped by Qin Taoran's life and death.
Except for one person.
In Incense Fragrance Valley, Luo Chen, half-kneeling on the ground with his protective spiritual armor shattered, suddenly lifted his head.
His black eyes were filled with killing intent!
He didn't know if his opponent was still alive, as such a close-range explosion of the Thunder Immortal Pearl should have killed him.
But he couldn't fathom the abilities of a Golden Core Elder.
So!
Shaking his wings, he endured the severe injuries caused by the explosion's impact, and flew into the sky.
Facing the area shrouded in thunderclouds, he stretched out his giant claws.
The huge claws pierced through the clouds and fog, reaching into the heart of the storm.
Cloud Probing Divine Claw!
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing filled the air.
Luo Chen's face turned cold, "Old dog, I knew you wouldn't die so easily!"
He retracted his claws and struck again!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
With each strike, the thunderclouds dissipated.
The Taiyang Furnace shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.
Qin Taoran, his face pale and body covered in blood, pinched the sword incantation, and his flying sword treasure continued to block Luo Chen's attacks.
With each block, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The destruction of his lifebound treasure, which was linked to his soul, had inflicted unimaginable damage on him.
At this moment, he was in a terrible state.
Luo Chen, seizing the opportunity, decided to take his life.
He gritted his teeth, knowing that his own condition wasn't ideal, but he was determined to settle this battle to the death.
His wings behind him trembled violently.
The next moment, he swept through the valley with a raging wind.
His hands transformed into sharp claws, striking out continuously.
Each attack was no less powerful than that of a third-stage demonic beast.
Even so, Qin Taoran, who was on the verge of collapse, managed to block them all.
Suddenly,
Luo Chen's figure appeared on the ground.
He hugged the giant stone pillar, a hundred zhang long, that stood in Incense Fragrance Valley.
Ssss! Ssss!
His claws sliced through the stone pillar like a knife through tofu.
Then,
"Get up!"
Boom!!!
Under the gaze of countless onlookers,
The hundred zhang stone pillar was forcefully uprooted by him.
Holding the giant pillar, Luo Chen's face was filled with determination.
Without saying a word, he smashed it towards the faltering Qin Taoran.
Facing this attack, Qin Taoran gripped his flying sword, infusing it with his spiritual power. The sword began to grow in size.
In an instant, a giant sword took shape and slashed down upon him.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Wherever the giant sword passed, the stone pillar shattered inch by inch.
However, when the stone pillar was half-destroyed, a giant claw reached out once more.
This time, as if crossing a distance of thousands of miles, the claw directly grabbed Qin Taoran's body.
"Old dog, die!"
Luo Chen made a squeezing gesture, but the immense force couldn't crush Qin Taoran's body.
There, a layer of red light shield trembled, blocking Luo Chen's attack.
Qin Taoran looked on miserably, blood spilling from his mouth.
His gaze swept across the void, meeting countless gazes as if they were looking at a dying dog.
He had lost this battle!
A complete defeat!
"If I die... you'll follow me to hell!"
Suddenly,
The red light shield vanished.
The giant claw closed in an instant.
Qin Taoran's mortal body instantly turned into powder.
However, Luo Chen had no time to rejoice.
In his line of sight,
A Golden Core descended at an unimaginable speed, slamming into him.
Boom!
With just one strike, Luo Chen was like a heavily struck giant, unable to avoid the blow, and was directly blasted into the depths of Incense Fragrance Valley.
A gigantic black hole appeared before everyone's eyes.
This sudden scene caught everyone off guard.
But seeing the Golden Core flying away, Feng Ming's expression changed.
"Qin Taoran isn't dead yet, stop that Golden Core!"
As he spoke, he chased after Qin Taoran's Golden Core.
Heartless Immortal hesitated for a moment, then shouted sternly, "Everyone, annihilate all the Yan Meng disciples, and make sure not to let a single one escape!"
As she finished speaking, she flew towards Incense Fragrance Valley.
She could sense that Luo Chen's aura was gradually weakening.
The final strike of a Golden Core Elder was not something to be taken lightly.
Just as she took a step, a figure moved even faster than her, dashing towards Incense Fragrance Valley like lightning.
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
"That's mine!"
Heartless Immortal's eyebrows furrowed, and she immediately controlled her flying sword to attack that person.
The person flicked their sleeve, and a large patch of fire scattered.
"Scoundrel, get out of my way!"
Heartless Immortal's face changed instantly, and this time, she not only controlled her flying sword but also produced two talismans in her hands.
"Xu Yang, you're looking for death!"
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Xu Yang.
How dare he offend the Heartless Immortal, a Fourth Layer Golden Core cultivator!
He suddenly snapped out of his daze, glanced back at the depths of the cave with reluctance, then gritted his teeth and flew away.
Heartless Immortal activated the talismans in her hands, and two ice dragons broke through the air, chasing after Xu Yang.
If she followed, she could definitely kill him.
But before she could take a step, she stopped.
"I should save that kid first! Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to the Grand Senior Sister when I return."
"Besides, Xu Yang won't be able to escape."
She scanned the surroundings.
As expected!
The countless onlooking cultivators were already swarming towards Incense Fragrance Valley like locusts.
Among them, several Golden Core cultivators were moving at incredible speeds.
Some went to intercept Xu Yang, while others surrounded the Yan Meng Elder.
Even more astonishingly, two Golden Core Elders joined forces and descended upon Incense Fragrance Valley, their mighty voices echoing.
"From now on, this Third Stage Spirit Vein belongs to Stormy Rain Manor!"
Heartless Immortal, who had already landed on the ground, turned her head and let out a cold hum.
Feng Hua Region's Odd Wind Sect and Medicine Monarch Domain's Rain Family.
When did these two join forces and come to our Jade Cauldron Domain to seek benefits?
However, there was no time to worry about that now.
Heartless Immortal lowered her body and leaped into the cave.
Her figure continued to descend.
Soon, she landed and looked into the depths of Incense Fragrance Valley.
In her sight, numerous giant pillars stood tall, and streams of flame converged from all directions.
Right in the center, a figure sat cross-legged.
Beneath his feet, an array was constantly operating, resembling the previous Flame Annihilation Array but also like a different formation.
Heartless Immortal's eyebrows furrowed, and she realized that this person was not Luo Chen!
She remembered that he seemed to be his subordinate, a formation master named Min Long Yu.
Where was Luo Chen?
She moved her divine sense, and instantly discovered a large pit in front of Min Long Yu.
Inside, Luo Chen lay flat, covered in blood, with a deep azure flame enveloping him.
The converging streams of flame from all directions were also continuously gathering towards his body.
She could clearly sense that Luo Chen was not unconscious but was instead exerting himself to operate a secret technique, refining something.
Heartless Immortal's expression changed drastically, "You dare to be so bold, do you not value your lives?"
Facing this interrogation, Min Long Yu's heart trembled, but he still spoke, "The President said that the Elder would not abandon someone in danger."
Heartless Immortal pursed her red lips, suppressing her anger.
She glanced coldly at Min Long Yu, then approached the fire pit and looked at Luo Chen, who was silently enduring with his eyes closed.
"I thought you were just a vengeful man, seeking revenge."
"But I never expected you to have such a plan!"
"If it weren't for the command of the Grand Elder, even if you were to die in front of me today, I wouldn't care."
As she spoke, a talisman suddenly appeared in her hand.
Ice God Talisman! Unlike ordinary talismans that store attack and defense spells, this talisman was an advanced talisman of the Ice God Jade Ice Fortress.
It had a strong effect of calming and focusing the mind.
Only Heartless Immortal and the Grand Elder, Cang Long, could draw this talisman.
As soon as the talisman appeared, it instantly attached itself to Luo Chen's forehead.
Then, Heartless Immortal waved her hand, and an ice coffin appeared before her.
The coffin lid opened, and her spiritual power lifted Luo Chen's body into the ice coffin.
Only then did the intense azure flame that enveloped him dim slightly.
Seeing this, Min Long Yu couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
He put away the formation plate and stood up from the ground, bowing to Heartless Immortal.
"Thank you, Elder, for saving our President from danger."
"Hmph!"
Heartless Immortal let out a cold hum, and her spiritual power lifted the ice coffin, turning to leave immediately.
"Get out of here!"
"Luo Chen will be going to the Ice Fortress for a while and won't be back soon."
The first chapter added by the Alliance Leader, one more to go, will definitely make up for it next month!
Absolutely no salt!
By the way, seeking double monthly votes for the last day of September!
