Proving Immortality Starting with Hextech Runes

Follow the bubbly writing style of Durian and embark on an adventure in Cola Novels: Proving Immortality Through Hextech Runes.

The shape of the barrier suddenly changed dramatically; the originally translucent barrier quickly became stained with a jet-black color at its edges.

At the center of the barrier, a tiny black dot quietly appeared.

"roar!!"

The Sea King Beast instinctively sensed extreme danger; the fear emanating from the depths of its bloodline even overwhelmed the Blood Fiend's ferocity.

It tried to back away, but the sonic barrier, wrapped in black edges, seemed to extend and absorb as if it had a life of its own.

It was firmly "stuck" to the head scales where it had struck.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle... Pfft!

Amidst a tooth-grinding, corrosive sound, the dark red scales on the Sea King Beast's head, comparable to a magical artifact, peeled away at a visible speed, revealing the bright red flesh beneath.

Even more terrifying is that the darkness seemed to be contagious.

It was rapidly spreading along the seams of its scales towards its massive body.

"roar!!!"

The Sea King Beast let out a painful and terrified howl, frantically twisting its body in an attempt to shake off the grotesque barrier that clung to it like a leech.

It unleashed a violent, blood-red demonic power, forming crimson shockwaves that impacted the surrounding area.

The buildings on both sides of the street collapsed like paper under this force.

However, the barrier that combined the spatial stabilizing power of the [Suppressing Heavenly Sound] with the annihilating power of the Annihilation Sound was exceptionally resilient.

No matter how much the Sea King Beast struggled, the barrier only deformed and extended. Although the speed of erosion was slightly reduced due to the resistance of the demonic power, there was no sign of it breaking free.

Chen Xu's face paled slightly. Maintaining such a high intensity of fusion power output was a huge burden for him and Qingling and Jiemie in the Beast Taming Space.

He could feel the destructive energy emanating from the sound of annihilation rapidly diminishing, clearly indicating that the previous attack had nearly drained its recently recovered essence.

On Qingling's side, the rhythm of [Zhenyu Tianyin] also seemed somewhat sluggish because it needed to stabilize the space and guide the power of annihilation at the same time.

Fortunately, the results are significant.

This behemoth, comparable to a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator and which should have been rampaging across the battlefield, was now pinned to the spot by him alone, trapped in a painful stalemate.

This not only bought precious time for the retreating troops led by Nan Longyue, but also instantly attracted the attention of a large number of enemy forces on the battlefield.

"Who is that person? How could they single-handedly hold off the Sea King Beast?!"

"A Core Formation cultivator? How is that possible..."

"What kind of magic did he use? I've never seen it before!?"

Exclamations of surprise rang out among the retreating Xuan Shui Palace cultivators and survivors, with many even subconsciously slowing their pace and turning back to look.

"Hmph! He has some skill, but he's just running out of steam!"

On the largest of the three bone ships, in the middle.

A cultivator wearing a blood-red cloak and whose face was shrouded in shadow snorted coldly.

His aura was unfathomable, revealing him to be at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"Blood Three and Blood Five, take two teams and, with the help of the sea beasts, quickly kill this man and clear the path!"

"Yes, Blood Lord!" Two blood-robed cultivators whose auras had reached the peak of the Core Formation stage bowed and accepted the order.

Immediately, two beams of blood-red light shot out from the bone boat, heading straight for Chen Xu.

At the same time, dozens of Core Formation sea beasts that were originally charging in different directions were driven by the strange whistles of the two blood-robed cultivators.

They also changed direction, coordinating with a flanking maneuver to attack Chen Xu, cutting off all possible escape routes for him.

Chen Xu's divine sense had already taken in all the changes around him, accurately capturing every incoming threat.

Directly ahead, the Sea King Beast, corrupted by the [Suppressing Heavenly Sound] and the power of annihilation, was still struggling in agony.

However, with most of its head scales peeled off and its aura weakened, it temporarily lost its threat of charging forward and instead became an obstacle blocking the view of the bone boats behind it.

"Trying to ambush me?" A cold glint flashed in Chen Xu's eyes. Instead of retreating, he took a step forward.

The sonic barrier in front of him instantly contracted, and the pitch-black corrosive core attached to the head of the Sea King Beast collapsed inward and then exploded with a bang.

boom!!!

The Sea King Beast's enormous head, along with half of its neck, vanished into nothingness in the silent, collapsing darkness.

The massive body crashed to the ground, and blood gushed out like a waterfall, instantly staining the long street red.

This attack not only completely ended the Sea King Beast, but the chaotic spatial ripples and annihilation aftershocks generated by the explosion also swept up several of the closest Core Formation Sea Beasts.

Before they could even utter a scream, most of their bodies vanished into thin air, leaving behind a rain of blood mixed with the stench of blood.

"What?!" Blood Three and Blood Five, who were rushing towards them, suddenly narrowed their eyes and stopped their momentum.

They could clearly see that it was no ordinary spell, nor even any known supernatural power; the destructive aura it contained made their hearts tremble.

"This kid is strange, we can't fight him in close combat! Form a Blood Fiend Lightning Net and attack from a distance!" Blood Three shouted, and Blood Five made hand seals at the same time.

The two were enveloped in a burst of crimson light, which quickly intertwined in the air to form a massive crimson lightning net.

A sinister, dark red electric spark crackled through the mesh, carrying a malevolent aura that corroded spiritual power and tainted the soul, descending upon Chen Xu.

Claws, fangs, water arrows, poisonous stings... a variety of innate attacks intertwine to form an impenetrable web of death.

Faced with this all-around deadly situation, Chen Xu's lips curled into a cold smile.

Although Qingling and the Sound of Annihilation were quite powerful, the power transmitted through their soul imprints was weakened by 70%.

However, Chen Xu did not want to reveal his two trump cards, Qingling and the Sound of Annihilation.

So this time, he's prepared to do it himself.

Chen Xu's eyes were cold, and he made a decision in the blink of an eye.

He made a grasping motion in the air with his right hand, and a long, silver-white spear appeared in his hand.

The thought had barely formed when the crimson lightning net covered three zhang above his head, crackling with dark red electricity and emitting a foul stench.

The attack of the sea monsters from all sides was imminent.

Chen Xu finally made a move.

Without dodging or avoiding, he reversed his hand and planted the spear upside down in the ground, the tip of the spear penetrating three inches into the bluestone slab.

This is a set of spear techniques that he comprehended from the "Mysterious Water Dragon-Opening Technique".

Although its power is not as great as the "Pingnan Taiyi Spear Technique", it is enough to solve these problems.

He activated the "Mysterious Water Dragon-Opening Technique" within his body at full power, and the vast water-based spiritual energy surged into the spear like a burst dam.

hum...

The next instant, Chen Xu gripped the gun with both hands and suddenly thrust it upwards!

Boom!!!

Centered on the tip of the spear, layers upon layers of azure spear shadows surged into the sky like raging waves in the sea.

Each spear thrust was incredibly solid, containing a piercing force as heavy as a mountain.

The moment the crimson lightning net came into contact with the layers upon layers of gunfire, it was torn to shreds.

Dark red lightning exploded amidst the azure gun shadows, dissipating into specks of crimson sparks.

"How is this possible?!" Xue San's expression changed drastically. "This spear technique... could it be a secret technique of the Xuan Shui Palace?!"

"No! The Xuan Shui Palace's spear techniques are known for their agility and fluidity, but this boy's spear thrusts are heavy and domineering—it seems misleading!"

Xue Wu gritted his teeth and waved his hands repeatedly, unleashing several blood-red sword energies towards Chen Xu.

Chen Xu didn't even look, his spear drawing an arc around his body.

Wherever the spear tip passed, the air seemed to be stirred up like water, forming a pale blue vortex of spiritual energy.

The vortex spun rapidly, generating a terrifying suction force.

The blood-red sword energy was immediately swept into the vortex and shredded as soon as it approached.

Even the two arrow-toothed demon fish that pounced from the side were pulled off their feet by the sudden suction force.

"A good opportunity!" A glint flashed in Chen Xu's eyes, and his figure rushed out from the center of the vortex like a ghost, his spear moving like a dragon.

This shot was faster than anyone expected.

The spear transformed into a straight, azure beam, precisely piercing the gaping maw of a fanged demon fish.

puff!

The spear tip pierced through the back of the demon fish's head, drawing out a spray of blood.

Chen Xu flicked his wrist, unleashing a surge of immense spiritual power that completely shattered the head of the sea beast, which was comparable to a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.

Draw your gun, turn around, and sweep!

The azure spear light, like a tidal wave crashing against the shore, swept fiercely towards another turtle-shaped sea beast that was pouncing on.

Click...

The turtle's prized, thick shell was as fragile as paper before the spear's edge, and a huge gash was cleaved through it.

The sea beast let out a mournful cry, and its massive body crashed to the ground.

The entire process took no more than two breaths, and the two Core Formation sea beasts died instantly.

"Damn it! Form the Blood Demon Dragon-Trapping Formation!" Blood Three was both shocked and furious. He quickly distanced himself from Blood Five and took out a small blood-red flag from his pocket.

Seeing this, the other Blood Sea Sect disciples followed suit.

Twelve blood-red flags were simultaneously unleashed, forming a bizarre array in the air and emanating a dense aura of bloodlust.

"Using blood as a lure, and killing intent as a prison... confinement!"

The twelve people shouted in unison, and the blood-red flag shone brightly.

Countless blood-red chains shot out from the flag, weaving together to form a huge cage that trapped Chen Xu inside.

Insidious runes danced on the chains, emanating an aura of filth and confinement.

The cultivators trapped inside will not only have their spiritual energy circulation hindered, but their souls will also be eroded.

"Hmph, a mere trick." Chen Xu snorted coldly, showing no fear whatsoever.

He took a deep breath and activated the Qingyuan Technique within his body.

The pure and peaceful spiritual energy flowed throughout his body, dispelling all the bloodthirsty energy that tried to invade.

At the same time, he gripped the gun with both hands, held it horizontally, and slowly rotated it.

This move is a power-gathering technique from the Xuan Shui Spear Technique.

Its spear thrust is restrained, yet it contains terrifying explosive power.

As Chen Xu's gun spun, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

The blood-red chains slowed down abruptly when they approached within three zhang of him, as if they had sunk into an invisible quagmire.

"break!"

A fierce glint flashed in Chen Xu's eyes, and the spinning spear thrust forward with the force of a thunderbolt!

Roar! ! !

A faint sound of a dragon's roar could be heard emanating from the tip of the spear.

A condensed, azure spear light, like a dragon emerging from the abyss, carrying a will to tear everything apart, crashed into a corner of the blood-red cage.

Click! Click! Click!

As a series of cracking sounds rang out, the seemingly indestructible blood-red chains crumbled layer by layer before the spear's edge.

The four blood-red flags that formed the core of the formation exploded simultaneously, and the Blood Sea Cult disciples who controlled them were all sent flying backward, spitting blood.

The Dragon Trapping Formation is broken.

"Not good!" Xue San's expression changed drastically, and he was about to change his move.

But Chen Xu had already broken free and was now a blur, heading straight for him.

The Dragon Trapping Formation is broken.

"Not good!" Xue San's expression changed drastically, and he was about to change his move.

But Chen Xu had already broken free and was now a blur, heading straight for him.

"Blood Fiend Protection!" Xue San shouted, his body surging with blood-red light, condensing into a thick, blood-red shield.

"Can you block it?" Chen Xu's voice was icy as he thrust his spear straight at the center of the shield.

This shot lacked the previous ferocious momentum.

Instead, it was refined to the extreme, the tip of the spear gleaming coldly, as if it could pierce through all defenses in the world.

laugh……

With a sound so faint it was almost inaudible, the spear tip easily pierced the blood-red shield.

The next moment, the shield rippled outwards like water struck by a pebble, spreading outwards from the spear tip before shattering with a deafening crash.

"What?!" Blood Three's pupils shrank abruptly. Before he could react, the spear tip had already pierced through his protective blood-red light and plunged into his chest.

puff!

The spear pierced through his body, and Xue San looked down at the spear tip protruding from his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"You..." he said with difficulty, but then he saw Chen Xu flick his wrist, the gun tremble, and a surge of spiritual energy explode within his body.

A bloody hole the size of a bowl blew out of Xue San's chest, and his body went limp and he was lifeless.

Even a cultivator at the peak of the Core Formation stage would be killed with a single shot!

"Third Brother!" Xue Wu's eyes were bloodshot, and the blood sword in his hand transformed into a sky full of blood shadows as he frantically slashed at Chen Xu.

"I'll make you pay with your life!"

"Shut up." Chen Xu drew his spear and turned around, not even glancing at the countless sword shadows. His spear danced around him like a ball of light and shadow.

The gunshots were like a curtain, leaving no room for error. Every sword shadow unleashed by Blood Five was precisely blocked and deflected.

Three breaths later, the sword shadow dissipated, and Xue Wu, panting heavily, showed fear in his eyes.

Chen Xu, however, remained standing with his gun, his breathing steady, as if the fierce battle just now was merely a warm-up.

"It's time to end this," Chen Xu said calmly, gripping his gun with both hands and adopting a strange starting stance.

The gun barrel pointed diagonally at the ground, trembling slightly and emitting a low hum.

The next instant, Chen Xu's figure vanished.

No, it didn't disappear; it was just that it was moving too fast, leaving afterimages in everyone's eyes.

Those afterimages, wielding guns, stabbed at Blood Five from different angles, each strike solid and real, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

Blood Five was terrified and desperately swung his blood sword to block, but he only managed to block three afterimages.

The fourth afterimage: the spear pierced his throat.

Xue Wu's eyes widened, and the blood sword in his hand clattered to the ground.

He clutched his throat, blood gushing from between his fingers, and slowly collapsed to his knees, dying instantly.

From the moment Chen Xu made his move until he killed Xue San and Xue Wu, it took no more than ten breaths.

Of the twelve Core Formation Blood Sea Sect disciples, four are now dead and four are seriously injured.

The remaining four were already terrified and turned to flee.

"Can they escape?"

Chen Xu's eyes were icy cold. He threw his spear, which transformed into a streak of azure light, twisting three times in mid-air before accurately piercing the backs of three fleeing Blood Sea Sect disciples.

The last person was so frightened that he fell to the ground, his crotch soaked.

Chen Xu reached out and grasped the spear, which flew back and was caught steadily.

He slowly walked towards the Blood Sea Cult disciple, pressing the tip of his spear against the man's throat.

"Tell me, how many people did the Blood Sea Sect send this time? How many are Nascent Soul cultivators? What is their objective?"

The disciple trembled all over and stammered, "I...I don't know..."

"I only heard that Lord Blood Lord personally led the team, and that there were also two Nascent Soul stage elders..."

"The objective is to breach Meteor City and seize the Xuan Shui Palace's secret vault and teleportation array within the city..."

"Blood Lord?" Chen Xu frowned slightly. "Is it the one in the blood-red cloak on the bone boat?"

"Yes, yes... Lord Blood Lord is the Grand Elder of the sect, with a mid-Nascent Soul cultivation level... Ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, a beam of blood-red light suddenly shot from the bone boat in the distance, piercing precisely between the disciple's eyebrows.

His eyes widened, and he slowly fell to the ground.

Chen Xu looked up and saw the Nascent Soul cultivator known as "Blood Lord" on the central bone boat, coldly staring at him with murderous intent in his eyes.
