Chapter 819: The Unstoppable Hand, Adding to the Fallen Souls
Chapter 819: The Unstoppable Hand, Adding to the Fallen Souls
Azure Sun Great Palm Seal!
This spell might have its flaws, such as its power not being concentrated enough or being easily countered by water and earth dual-attribute treasures.
But for Luo Chen, it was his favorite spell.
In his hands, this spell could be cast instantly, and he was so familiar with the various hand seals and incantations that the output of his spiritual power was second nature.
Therefore, whenever he encountered an unfamiliar battle, he would habitually start with a grand hand seal to test his opponent's strength.
As a probing move, the power of this spell was rarely fully displayed.
Until this time, with advance preparation and no interruptions, Luo Chen completed his first full charge in the Nascent Soul Realm!
During the charging process in the Nine Heavens, its power had already reached the level of a full-power strike by a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
This caught the attention of Jin Ling and startled the Sevenhorn Overlord, who was both shocked and enraged.
At this moment!
Luo Chen released the fully charged Azure Sun Great Palm Seal, and its effect of enslaving the stray spiritual energy of heaven and earth for his use was completely revealed.
It descended from the Nine Heavens into the vast domain.
Wherever it passed, spiritual energy merged into it.
The azure-colored giant palm seal pushed forward, and all that could be heard was the clamor of gongs and drums, deafening to the ears. Mountains crumbled, and the waves crashed against the shore.
Within the palm seal, the surging spiritual power and spiritual energy combined, no longer restrained by Luo Chen, burst forth like an untamed wild horse or a flood breaking through a dam, surging forward relentlessly without any sign of stopping.
Nothing and no one could block its path.
The battle where the two Demon Monarchs surrounded Jin Ling was in its way, but even they had to digit," and they were forced to make way for the approaching giant palm seal.
They followed the palm seal in horror as it rushed eastward.
Mountains along its path turned to dust, rivers were cut off, and countless demon beast armies blocking its way were blasted into blood mist with a loud bang.
The sound of the explosion reverberated for an unknown duration.
The azure palm seal seemed to have traveled for tens of thousands of miles.
Its vast power resembled a natural disaster, showing no signs of stopping.
Until a blood-red light screen spread out.
It was the Heavenly Tribulation Twelve Divine Fiends Array set up by the Ling Tian City Lord earlier!
Once this array was laid, no one could break through except for the Sevenhorn Overlord, a Demon Monarch comparable to a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator who had forced his way out.
In everyone's sight, they witnessed the thousand-foot-tall giant palm seal slamming into the blood-red light screen.
A strange sound rang out, causing the light screen to tremble.
It seemed like even the array struggled to withstand the power of the palm.
Flap! Flap! Flap!
Three sides of the Heavenly Tribulation flags suddenly flapped in the wind.
With the added force, the Azure Sun Great Palm Seal eventually faltered.
A loud explosion was heard, and the giant palm seal collapsed and shattered!
Countless mountains, rivers, trees, and demon beasts that had been swept along were now falling like a rain curtain.
Taking advantage of this shattering power, the remaining palm force broke through the array's light screen and flew out.
Boom!
Beyond the range of the naked eye, it had already crossed the Tyrant Blade Territory and entered the neighboring Azure Sky Territory.
A mountain that had stood for millions of years received the residual palm force head-on.
Five giant handprints were deeply imprinted on the mountain wall.
In the Tyrant Blade Territory.
On the canyon that had been cut by a single sword, Luo Chen stood on a rock, his clothes fluttering in the strong wind.
His previously calm expression now carried a hint of surprise.
The complete Azure Sun Great Palm Seal, uninterrupted by anyone, had grown in power to such an extent!
The power of that palm strike had temporarily broken through the Heavenly Tribulation Twelve Divine Fiends Array.
This meant that, at that moment, the Azure Sun Great Palm Seal had reached the level of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator's strike!
This was an unexpected joy.
Even Luo Chen hadn't anticipated it.
He knew that combining spells was powerful, especially at his lower cultivation level, but to reach such a level was truly astonishing.
Of course, Luo Chen also discovered the spell's flaws.
After unrestrainedly enslaving a vast amount of heaven and earth's spiritual energy, the proportion of his own spiritual power in the spell decreased, and eventually, even he, the caster, couldn't control the spell anymore.
He could only let it surge forward uncontrollably.
"Although this spell has great power, one must not be greedy, as it has too many flaws."
"But for now, it's enough to establish dominance and awe!"
He gazed into the distance, and wherever the palm seal passed, it carved out a deep gorge hundreds of feet wide and hundreds of feet long, with an unknown length. Blood flowed like a river, all from the countless low-level demon beasts it had slain.
At this moment, the blood flowed like a river, seemingly forming a river of blood.
With just this move, he had killed over a million low-level demon beasts!
He looked around, and the battles between Nascent Soul cultivators subconsciously avoided him. They seemed to fear the power of that palm strike and didn't want to be easily affected by it.
"So, who is my opponent?"
Luo Chen's piercing gaze swept across the various battlefields.
The most crowded battlefield was undoubtedly the one where Tie Guan Daoren stood.
He stood atop a giant iron-made Taoist temple, wielding an iron ruler and engaging in a fierce battle with a bare-chested giant.
On the ground, countless demon beasts rushed towards him from all directions.
Within the temple, two stone sculptures had transformed into guardian spirit beasts—a tortoise and a snake—protecting the area where Tie Guan Daoren stood.
"It looks intense, but Tie Guan Daoren seems to be handling it with ease."
Then, the most dazzling and eye-catching battlefield came into view.
In the sky, countless nine-colored light bands formed a giant river, separating the inside from the outside.
Within the river, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and angry roars occasionally sounded.
Even the sky-covering black wings tried to stretch out but were pulled into the river by the nine-colored light bands.
Luo Chen could clearly see that the nine-colored light river was pure spiritual power!
"I never expected the grand technique cultivated by the Nine Spirit Lord to have such overwhelming power.
"No wonder he craves the Nine Departure Pill so much. Although this method may not be as profound as supernatural abilities, its power is unmatched!"
"I wonder if I can achieve such might after cultivating the Hundred Threads Scarlet Heaven Sword Qi."
As he muttered, Luo Chen looked towards the most dangerous battle.
Unlike Tie Guan Daoren's effortless combat, the Nine Spirit Lord was clearly dominating his opponents.
The Golden Feather Master was facing two Demon Monarchs!
The Golden Feather Master, renowned for his three life-saving Golden Feathers, had already drawn two of them.
Facing the joint attack of the two Demon Monarchs, the Golden Feather Master waved his feathered wings, and the myriad golden lights were blinding.
The two Demon Monarchs fought desperately, forcing the Golden Feather Master into a difficult position. Even his metal shield, used for protection, had been dented.
"In terms of the battle, I should go and help him."
But...
Luo Chen's gaze swept across the other two battlefields.
Li Guozhu, with his sword, was chasing a Fourth Stage Demon Monarch.
Fu Lao was sitting in mid-air, casting spell papers, but his face already showed signs of pain.
In the distance, the sound of cicadas could be heard, irritating to the ears.
"Compared to the Golden Feather Master, it's better to help Fu Lao!"
As Luo Chen was about to make his move, he suddenly looked down at his feet.
Sssss...
The hard rocks beneath his feet began to melt strangely.
A putrid smell assaulted his nose.
"Poison!"
Suddenly, the sky darkened, and night fell.
Luo Chen felt a loss of gravity and fell into a deep canyon.
This scene was eerily similar to the rumored abilities of a certain demon beast.
The Lightless Beast?
Luo Chen smiled slightly, and his right hand trembled as the Blood Sword appeared in his hand.
"I heard that you survived a strike from the Ling Tian City Lord's Four-Directional Mystic Sword, which speaks volumes about your strength. By coming to me now, it seems you have a plan!"
As he spoke, he activated his force field.
The Mystic Dust Armor responded to his thoughts, covering his entire body, leaving only his dazzlingly radiant eyes exposed.
Rustle, rustle, rustle...
In the darkness, a faint sound could be heard.
Then, a splattering sound followed.
Luo Chen's force field seemed to be attacked by something, instantly riddled with holes.
Luo Chen looked closely and saw flying needles.
Each needle had a strange dark green color, clearly imbued with a powerful poison.
Without hesitation, he swallowed a Purple Qi Toxin Defense Pill as a precaution.
The needles pierced through his force field and struck Luo Chen's body.
A clanging sound echoed.
The True Artifact-level protective armor was not so easily broken!
In the darkness, a surprised exclamation could be heard.
Then, a gentle female voice spoke.
"I've also heard of the Alchemy Sect. After witnessing the power of that palm strike, even the Lightless Demon Emperor is filled with dread. With my abilities, not only can I not kill you, but even in a direct battle, I fear I wouldn't last more than thirty to fifty rounds."
Luo Chen laughed, "If that's the case, why waste your energy trapping me here?"
The Lightless Demon Emperor sighed, "I can only do my best. In today's battle, you clearly came prepared, and we are like turtles in a jar. Judging by your cultivation, each of you is stronger than us, and you clearly intend to kill us. I can only struggle in vain!"
Holding the Blood Sword, Luo Chen flew rapidly while being showered by falling needles in the darkness.
However, no matter how he flew, he remained enveloped in darkness.
This phenomenon was extremely bizarre.
Luo Chen wondered when his opponent had set up this trap, causing him to fall into it without realizing it.
But on the surface, Luo Chen remained calm and continued the conversation.
"The Lightless Demon Emperor, your death tribulation is approaching. Why not surrender? Our sect also has a reputation for mercy. As long as you are willing to surrender, I can take you as my mount. When I ascend to godhood, you will also benefit."
"This..."
In the darkness, the Lightless Demon Emperor fell into deep contemplation.
Even the needle attacks slowed down.
"No!" Luo Chen shook his head, and the Blood Sword rose slightly, "You're stalling for time!"
"Heh, the Alchemy Sect is indeed extraordinary. In an instant, you've seen through the Lightless Demon Emperor's scheme."
The Lightless Demon Emperor's light laughter echoed, and although it wasn't loud, it caused the darkness to tremble.
"This perilous situation is not unbreakable!"
"How so?"
"
"So, in the end, your life and death are still dependent on others?"
"Hmm? Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
The darkness suddenly stopped trembling, and a sharp, hurried voice rang out.
Luo Chen felt a sense of danger arise in his heart.
Without hesitation, he pushed out a palm strike.
It was the Azure Sun Great Palm Seal!
The Lightless Demon Emperor, hidden in the darkness, saw the palm strike and her pupils contracted. But under her attack, the seal was instantly broken.
Was it just a decoy?
How would the renowned Alchemy Sect resist the Lightless Demon Emperor's full-power strike that she had secretly prepared?
Ssss! The Azure Sun Great Palm Seal was broken.
The Blazing Heaven Seven-Ringed Array was broken again!
Even the external aura armor of the Mystic Dust Armor couldn't withstand it at all!
Finally, Luo Chen's eyes saw the source of the sneak attack.
It was a curved, sharp stinger, like the tail of a scorpion.
The stinger was enveloped in a chilling glow, and even in the darkness, it was dazzling, just three feet away from Luo Chen.
Luo Chen narrowed his eyes, and in the Lightless Demon Emperor's disbelieving gaze, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the stinger.
Snap! The stinger was gripped by the hand covered in Mystic Dust Armor, and the True Artifact-level armor began to melt rapidly.
At this moment, Luo Chen's eyes widened, and a spiritual light burst forth from his eyes like two pillars, sweeping through the endless darkness.
"I've got you now!"
Luo Chen took a step forward.
Boom!
The void rumbled as he flashed to a void, and the blood sword in his hand suddenly slashed.
Sizzle...
The dark light curtain tore with a ripping sound and shattered instantly.
A frail figure flew out, landing among the rugged rocks, revealing its hideous true form, ready to flee in panic.
A decisive move!
Looking at the bizarre beast, with its upper body resembling a bat and its lower half like a scorpion, Luo Chen grinned menacingly.
"You can't escape!"
He stomped his foot, and in the canyon, a small cauldron began to spin rapidly, gradually expanding.
The Lightless Beast could delay time, secretly gathering its full strength for a decisive strike.
Luo Chen wasn't a novice; he had already quietly released the Primordial Cauldron, covering this battlefield!
Nine crimson chains shot up from the canyon, binding the Lightless Beast's true form.
The hideous beast struggled, trying to break free from the chains.
In the canyon, another force of suppression from the same origin slowed its movements significantly.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...
Nine consecutive sounds, the chains from the Primordial Cauldron's algorithms and the computer be understood, and the limitations of the computer's capabilities be understood.
The chains, transformed from the Primordial Cauldron, tightly bound the beast, and with the support of the law, it was dragged towards Luo Chen.
The Lightless Beast, seeing the white-robed cultivator with the blood sword piercing through the void, was filled with terror.
"Fellow cultivator, I surrender..."
"Too late!"
In a flash, the blood sword flew out of Luo Chen's hand, stabbing straight into the beast's chest.
In an instant, the Purple Mansion was breached, and the Nascent Soul was impaled by the great sword.
The Lightless Beast's eyes revealed a venomous look, "If I hadn't been severely injured in the Lingtian Pass battle, how could you have found my true form so easily? Since you refuse to accept my surrender, let's die together!"
Its abdomen swelled, and the Nascent Soul began to emit intense spiritual light.
"You want to self-destruct your Nascent Soul?"
Luo Chen sneered, pinching a spiritual seal with his right hand.
The crimson chains that had bound the Lightless Beast's true form suddenly rushed into the gap in the Purple Mansion, pierced by the Primordial Butcher Sword, and directly impaled the Nascent Soul.
With this, the boundless law was like a snake being restrained at its vital point, unable to vent its power any further.
Until this moment, the demon beast completely lost its ability to fight back.
If this scene were to spread, it would undoubtedly cause a huge sensation.
Among Nascent Soul cultivators, determining victory is easy, and even in life-and-death battles, there is a chance of success. However, for someone like Luo Chen to physically capture a peer of the same stage is truly shocking and extraordinary.
Luo Chen floated over, looking at the terrified Lightless Beast, and nodded slightly.
Such a demon beast might have average combat strength in a head-on fight, but if used as an auxiliary, it could create black curtains during battles, disrupting the enemy's vision, making it an excellent support.
If not for his eyes, which had been nourished by secret elixirs since childhood, and his extensive study of illusions and soul techniques, an ordinary person would not have been able to see through the beast's concealment technique.
"Now, are you willing to surrender to my sect?"
The Lightless Beast looked desperate, glancing at the Nine Heavens above, and closed its eyes helplessly.
"I... Ah!"
Before the words "I surrender" could leave its mouth, a piercing scream echoed.
Luo Chen's expression changed, and he instantly realized what was happening. He tried to recall the blood-red great sword that was impaled in the beast's chest.
However, a resisting will emanated from the sword.
Luo Chen hesitated.
It was the will of the sword spirit sealed within the third layer of the Primordial Butcher Sword.
With his level of refinement of the sword, he could indeed forcibly recall the sword spirit if he wished.
But compared to subduing a demon beast, Luo Chen ultimately chose to gain the sword spirit's recognition.
"Forget it!"
Luo Chen sighed, and beside him, the sharp and piercing voice of the Lightless Beast gradually weakened. He watched as the beast's Nascent Soul, and even its entire body's blood, was devoured by the Primordial Butcher Sword.
As the Lightless Beast's lifeless body fell into the canyon, the Primordial Butcher Sword, having feasted on the demon's blood, soared into the sky and flew towards Luo Chen, trembling incessantly.
This scene reminded him of a deep memory buried in his mind.
Back in the Cold Light Island ruins, Blood Nightmare Mara had used this sword to wound his sturdy flesh, causing him to bleed profusely.
At that time, Blood Nightmare Mara had said, "You really like his blood, don't you?"
Luo Chen had thought it was just a casual remark during the battle, using terrifying words to shatter the enemy's fighting spirit.
Now it seemed that this sword truly enjoyed drinking blood?
Luo Chen had a sudden realization:
"All this time, I've been unable to refine the sword spirit, and even my progress in cultivating the Thousand Heaven Sword Scripture has only deepened my connection with the sword spirit slightly... If I use my own essence blood to nourish it, will it be willing to serve me completely?"
As if sensing Luo Chen's thoughts, the Primordial Butcher Sword trembled even more violently, and its tip deliberately aimed at Luo Chen's heart.
The grooves on the sword's body flashed with demonic blood light.
Seeing the sword tip pointing at him, Luo Chen's face turned angry.
"Damn it!"
The idea of nourishing the sword spirit with his essence blood instantly vanished.
A cultivator's essence blood is the transformation of their cultivation.
Even though Luo Chen cultivated the Ancient Body Cultivation Art, and his essence blood was several times that of ordinary cultivators, it was not something to be used casually to feed the sword spirit.
Especially in the current situation, where would there be room for retreat?
Grasping the hilt, Luo Chen rose from the depths of the canyon, his gaze sweeping across the various battle groups engaged in fierce combat, and the countless demon beast armies.
"Although I don't know why the sword spirit of the Primordial Butcher Sword is so bloodthirsty, at least I've found the general direction to refine this sword spirit."
"My essence blood is invaluable; I can't give it up lightly."
"And what about these evil beasts?"
A towering killing intent, centered on Luo Chen, began to spread in all directions!
