Chapter 840: The Fall of Golden Feather, His Heart Deserves Punishment
Chapter 840: The Fall of Golden Feather, His Heart Deserves Punishment
On the left and right, cyclones raged in a frenzy.
From black to white, Yin and Yang intertwined.
Extreme spirit energy followed opposite trajectories, erupting with a terrifying grinding force.
Yet, amidst this, Luo Chen's surging blood energy exploded, like an ancient beast reborn, unafraid of the disparity between heaven and earth, roaring in retaliation.
Mountain Splitting Technique, Mountain-Extraction Technique, Mountain-Collision Technique...
The Demon Lord's Seven Dispersed Hands, which incorporated the strengths of various schools, erupted with unimaginable might under the empowerment of the surging source energy, causing the two grinding stones to shake violently.
The Deer Family brothers watched this scene, their jaws dropping in shock.
Was this still the weak-bodied human cultivator?
However, at this moment, Luo Chen's attention was not on them at all. His dull golden divine eyes were fixed on the white light flying out from the Heavenly Pillar Mountain.
In his mind, an alarm blared!
Wrong! Wrong! Completely wrong!
The white-robed man earlier had only been tainted with a trace of this demonic creature's aura; he was not the one from Tyrant Blade Domain!
This white light was the true body!
It was the cunning evil being mentioned by the Divine Essence Old Rogue, the culprit behind the harm inflicted on the Second Palace Lord of Splendor Palace and the two True Monarchs of Iterating Cloud Sect, and the mysterious existence that had caused many to pale with fear during the hundred-year war between humans and demons!
Now, it had reappeared and devoured the Primordial Spirits of the three elders of the Heavenly Capital Sect.
At this moment, it was rapidly flying towards Golden Feather.
In his sight, Golden Feather had clearly sensed the approaching danger.
Originally, two golden feathers were engaged in battle with the Thousand Index Demon Emperor, but at this moment, she suddenly opened her mouth and spat out a beam of golden light.
The Life-Taking Three Golden Feathers, cultivated for hundreds of years, revealed itself completely for the first time.
With a single strike, a golden feather pierced through the shoulder of the Thousand Index Demon Emperor, and its formidable destructive force tore countless wounds from within the demon emperor's body.
If it were an ordinary battle, Golden Feather could have easily pursued the advantage, but now she could only barely force him away and then abruptly turn around, holding two golden feathers in her hands, and stab forward.
The golden light and white light intersected in an instant.
Subsequently, the white light seemed to ignore all defenses and penetrated Golden Feather's body.
Golden Feather, holding the two golden feathers, stared blankly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"How is this possible?"
She murmured, and her body fell like a broken kite, plummeting towards the ground.
A white light pierced through her chest and flew out in a flash.
Faintly, one could even hear the sound of chewing and swallowing, chilling to the bone.
After killing Golden Feather, the white light showed no signs of stopping and flew straight towards another enemy in the same direction.
It was Luo Chen!
The nine-zhang giant, facing this scene, exhaled and shouted.
"Get out of my way!"
The Tyrant's Undressing Technique was unleashed again, striking the wobbling Yin-Yang Grindstone, delivering the final blow that broke the camel's back.
Boom!
The Yin-Yang Grindstone shattered, and the Deer Family brothers simultaneously spat out blood, flying backward.
Like Golden Feather, Luo Chen had no time to pursue his advantage. His body was covered in a layer of black light, and the Mysterious Dust Armor enveloped him.
Not only that, but a thick layer of Qi Armor also formed outside, providing additional protection.
His dull golden eyes shone brightly, fixed on that white light.
Mirror Flower Water Moon, activate!
In that brief moment of eye contact, Luo Chen saw through the white light and caught a glimpse of the cruel and mocking gaze.
Luo Chen grunted and frowned.
His spiritual soul's foundation was inferior to his opponent's, and his illusion technique not only failed to work but also backfired.
Now was the time!
The white light flickered, like an arrow shooting towards Luo Chen.
The thick layer of Qi Armor provided no defense, easily sliced through like tofu.
The sturdy Mysterious Dust Armor, weakened by the previous erosion of the Nine Chapters Bone Annihilation Array, was now pitted and had gaps.
The white light followed these gaps, about to penetrate Luo Chen's body.
Bang!
It was as if the white light had collided with an impenetrable wall, and it paused for a moment.
It then realized that it was Luo Chen's formidable physical body, and the energy covering his flesh was not spirit energy but rather a source energy similar to that of an ancient beast. "Is this person not human, but an ancient beast?"
Just as it hesitated, a deafening roar echoed in Luo Chen's ears.
"Get out of here!"
A dragon head emerged from Luo Chen's body, opening its huge mouth and forcefully pushing the white light away from Luo Chen.
The Black King appeared, and without hesitation, it opened its mouth and began to devour.
A terrifying swallowing force enveloped the surroundings.
The white light, having failed its sneak attack, had no opportunity to strike again and could only hastily retreat.
Swallow...
The Black King took a deep breath, revealing its hundred-zhang body and hovering in mid-air.
Luo Chen stood on its dragon spine, his eyes dark and deep like still water, fixed on the distant figures.
A palace skirt-clad woman, beautiful as a flower.
A tall and slender man, thin as a paper cutout, wearing white robes.
The two stood side by side.
One of them exuded the aura of a Great Demon Emperor, suppressing the battlefield of the Heavenly Capital Sect, their eyes cold and indifferent.
A young man, though not a Great Demon Emperor, emanated an eerie aura, his gaze upon everyone akin to that of a hunter eyeing its prey, both cruel and mocking.
Whoosh!
A streak of green light descended before Luo Chen.
It was Feng Hua Fairy, her face filled with extreme displeasure.
"Luo Chen, what should we do now?"
The situation had completely spiraled out of control!
Usually, Feng Hua Fairy would respectfully address him as "Dan Zong," but now she was calling him by his name, which spoke volumes.
Luo Chen tightly pursed his lips, his eyes sweeping the surroundings.
Thousand Index Demon Emperor, Huang Feng Ke, and the Deer Family Brothers had all gradually returned to Jinxiu Immortal's side, one after the other.
Although they were all injured, their combat strength hadn't been severely weakened.
As for Luo Chen's side, Golden Feather had perished, and of the four Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Capital Sect, only Tian Quanzi was barely capable of fighting, while the rest had all fallen.
As for those low-level cultivators...
For a moment, a sense of despair began to spread across the entire battlefield.
...
"Gao Chang, this is the first time I've seen you falter."
Jinxiu Immortal glanced at Luo Chen in surprise, speaking in a calm tone to the white-robed man beside her.
Gao Chang tugged at the corners of his mouth, stretching his lips into an exaggerated arc as if trying to split his entire face.
"This person has seen me before, so I've been on guard."
Jinxiu Immortal was startled, then her gaze fell on a flattened area of the battlefield.
"No wonder they didn't kill Thousand Index, Huang Feng Ke, or cause trouble for the Deer Family Brothers during their first sneak attack. They only targeted the White Glutton, which you possessed, it seems!"
"It's fine. This person just has a tough physical body and a protective demon... a wild beast?"
As Gao Chang spoke, his gaze paused on Black King, his face showing a mix of surprise and uncertainty.
A fourth-level wild beast?
Where did this beast come from in the ancient wilderness? Jinxiu Immortal paid no heed to these thoughts, gazing at the eerily silent battlefield with an impatient expression.
"We've been delayed in the Heavenly Capital Domain for too long. Let's finish this quickly!"
With a wave of her long sleeves, the other Demon Emperors immediately followed her command.
A great battle was about to unfold once again.
One could imagine that the upcoming fight would be a one-sided slaughter!
However, just as Jinxiu Immortal issued her command, her face turned pale with shock.
Instinctively, she brushed away the white-robed man beside her.
Then, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, narrowly missing the two of them, even tearing through her sleeve.
The thunderbolt struck the ground, causing it to crack open.
Then, a rumbling thunderous sound rolled across the land.
"As expected of the favorite concubine of the ancient Demon Emperor, Jinxiu Immortal's reputation is well-deserved. But can you save this little ghost for a moment, or for a lifetime?"
A thunderous voice descended from the sky.
Everyone looked up, and above the nine heavens, they saw the Calamity Cloud gathering.
A tall figure, leaning on a pitch-black greatsword, looked down upon the vast earth.
"Thunder Daoist!"
Jinxiu Immortal's face paled as she spoke his name.
Without hesitation, she issued a command.
"Retreat!"
In fact, even before she could give the order, Gao Chang, who had previously regarded everyone as prey, had already taken off running.
Facing this, Thunder Daoist gave a cold smile, casting a white net towards Gao Chang, then waved his hand.
"Pursue!"
"Leave these audacious pests who dare to invade the Eastern Wilderness here on this land!"
Behind him, the Calamity Cloud dispersed, revealing ten figures.
There were ten people, and each of them was at the Essence Spirit Level!
Judging from the insignia on their clothes, these people were clearly cultivators from the Abyss Sect!
After issuing the command, Thunder Daoist didn't lag behind. With a flash of electricity, he pursued Gao Chang.
From start to finish, he didn't exchange a single word with Luo Chen or Feng Hua Fairy.
He ignored them, or perhaps he held them in contempt!
Feng Hua Fairy's previously rigid body suddenly relaxed.
Then, anger rose on her face.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, killing only one demon won't ease the hatred in my heart. I want to assist the Abyss Sect cultivators in chasing down these demonic pests, but you..."
Luo Chen shook his head, his body rapidly shrinking.
"You go ahead, I won't get involved. Now that reinforcements have arrived, our task is mostly accomplished. The rest is just a matter of perfection."
Luo Chen, having returned to his normal state, still wore a white robe, spotless and untainted, as if the brief yet extremely dangerous battle hadn't caused him any harm.
Feng Hua Fairy looked deeply at Luo Chen, clenched her fists in a salute, then transformed into a streak of green light and pursued the enemy.
After they left...
Luo Chen slowly descended to the ground.
Black King, with its massive body, swam over.
"Master, that guy is a bit strange, like a ghost, but also a bit like a wild beast.
"Hmm."
Luo Chen gave a soft grunt, and in that brief moment of contact, he sensed that the fellow named Gao Chang was rather peculiar.
But Black King had a deeper understanding.
They stopped before a corpse with a gaping chest wound, and Luo Chen sighed lightly, his expression complex.
Golden Feather Immortal, had fallen!
From the very first encounter, Luo Chen had never shown this person any kindness.
It wasn't just because the Divine Essence Old Rogue had plotted against him, but also because of the Duan Feng couple, friends from his youth, who perished in the Two-Yin Reed Forest in the Boundless Domain due to this person's order.
The only reason Golden Feather specifically sent Duan Feng there was because he was skilled in identifying mineral materials.
For the sake of his friend, Luo Chen could never be friendly towards this person.
Not to mention becoming friends with enemies like Li Ge and Lin Qingxuan.
But after fighting alongside Golden Feather several times, the latter's formidable strength had earned Luo Chen's acknowledgment to some extent.
This was no weakling!
Even in today's battle, facing the Thousand Index Demon Emperor, who had a style that somewhat restrained his own, Golden Feather kept the opponent suppressed from start to finish.
What a pity...
"It's a pity he didn't die by my hand!"
Luo Chen made a gesture, and the last two golden feathers fell into his hand.
Then he issued an order to Black King, who opened his mouth and swallowed Golden Feather's corpse.
After doing all this, a fleeing light emerged from the broken Heavenly Pillar Mountain and flew towards Luo Chen.
"Pill Sect Master!"
Luo Chen looked at the middle-aged man with a slightly pale complexion and bowed slightly, "It is indeed this sect!"
Heavenly Power Master looked at the giant dragon behind Luo Chen, his face showing hesitation.
Luo Chen smiled and said, "This is my spirit pet, it's no problem."
Heavenly Power Master shook his head, "That's not what I meant. I wanted to say that Golden Feather's body..."
Luo Chen withdrew his smile, "You don't need to worry about that. Just say that he died at the hands of the Demon Emperor, and his body was completely destroyed."
Heavenly Power Master was startled. With so many witnesses, someone would believe it if it got out!
Luo Chen didn't want to discuss this matter further and suddenly said, "I have an unwelcome request. I'd like to see the remains of the three fallen cultivators from your sect. May I?"
Heavenly Power Master's eyebrows furrowed, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But thinking of Luo Chen's assistance to the Heavenly Capital Sect today, and the fact that he didn't flee even when the Abyss Sect reinforcements hadn't arrived and they were at an absolute disadvantage, he eventually agreed.
Soon, Luo Chen appeared in a spacious hall.
The bodies of the three fallen Supreme True Monarchs of the Heavenly Capital Sect were laid out here.
Unlike the others, these three didn't have wounds piercing their chests and abdomens.
"How did they die?"
"They were ambushed. When we released our primordial spirits to reinforce the Bagua Diagram, he suddenly appeared and devoured the three junior disciples' primordial spirits. If I hadn't reacted quickly and recalled the primordial spirits into the Purple Mansion, I might have fallen victim to him as well."
"Didn't he continue to attack you afterward?"
"There wasn't time. I activated the Grand Formation and briefly teleported him out of the Heavenly Pillar Mountain."
...
Luo Chen didn't stay long at the Heavenly Capital Sect. After inquiring about the specific details, he let Black King carry him leisurely towards the Heaven Ascending Pass.
Sitting cross-legged on the dragon's back, Luo Chen took out a Great Soul Pill and began healing the soul injuries caused by the backlash of his illusion technique.
The pitted and scarred Mysterious Dust Armor on his body also started to slowly recover as he channeled his essence energy.
As night fell, Luo Chen gradually regained consciousness.
In this battle, aside from the slight backlash to his soul, he hadn't suffered any injuries.
With the Great Soul Pill, those minor injuries were nothing to fear.
If it weren't for Gao Chang's sudden attack, Luo Chen, who had broken through the formation, would have been fully capable of defeating the Deer Family Brothers without injury.
"Gao Chang..."
Sitting cross-legged on the dragon's back, Luo Chen muttered this name.
"A wild beast, a ghostly creature!"
"Ignoring shields and armor, unafraid of physical treasure attacks."
"Incredible speed, capable of breaking through a cultivator's Purple Mansion barrier, and feeding on primordial spirits."
"The method to counter it... A powerful physical body, no, it should be a powerful physical body possessing wild beast energy, and specialized in countering yin ghosts with thunder."
The last point in the summary came from Gao Chang's terrified reaction after Thunder Daoist appeared.
Thunder Daoist had been famous for a long time, but what truly established him at the peak of the Eastern Wilderness's pride was his comprehension of the Thunder Dao Law Essence.
From today's encounter, even Jinxiu Immortal didn't dare to confront him directly.
His reputation was well-deserved!
"But he clearly arrived early and ignored our desperate battle, causing the deaths of four Supreme True Monarchs."
"He deserves to be punished!"
Luo Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, his muttering filled with cold severity.
