I fabricated myths to guide the revival of spiritual energy.

"Senior Brother, you've gone mad! Your meridians simply can't withstand this kind of power!"

One of the disciples roared with red eyes, trying to reach out and pull Chu Tian away.

The concept of "all spirits returning to oneness" is marked as a "forbidden technique" in red in the "Introduction to Advanced Formations".

Its principle is simple yet violent: forcibly pouring the spiritual power and life force of countless people into the same container.

But people are not magic weapons.

The physical body, being mortal, has its limits in terms of the capacity of its meridians.

If the essence and blood of so many people were to truly converge on a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the most likely outcome would not be killing the enemy, but rather the container exploding into a cloud of blood mist with a "bang."

"You have to endure it even if you can't bear it!"

Chu Tian shoved his junior brother away. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked even more ferocious than the monster that had charged at him.

"Then tell me, is there any other way?"

"Watching it crash into the platform? Watching everyone be swallowed up and turned into excrement?"

"We're going to die anyway, might as well take a gamble!"

boom--!!!

As they were speaking, a foul-smelling hurricane swept over them.

Leviathan's massive, mountain-like shadow completely enveloped the platform. Even before it crashed in, the terrifying wind pressure alone caused several new students at the edge of the platform to bleed from their mouths and noses, and they were pressed to the ground, unable to move.

Inside that gaping maw of the abyss, countless layers of rotating sharp teeth were emitting a teeth-grinding grinding sound.

It wants to swallow this annoying "cloud" along with the "snacks" on it in one gulp.

Death is imminent.

You could even smell the rotten seafood coming from its mouth.

"Stop standing there, you idiots!"

Chu Tian roared, and the long sword in his hand, stained with the blood essence from the tip of his tongue, began to emit an eerie red light.

"Give me your blood if you want to live!"

"Damn it! I'll risk it!"

The junior brother who had tried to stop him gritted his teeth and slashed his palm with his fingernail.

Fresh blood gushed out.

Instead of stopping the bleeding, he frantically channeled the meager spiritual energy he had just recovered, mixing it with the hot blood in his palm, and shoved it hard towards Chu Tian.

"Heaven and earth are boundless, all spirits return to their origin! Go!"

A crimson line of blood shot out from his palm and instantly connected to Chu Tian's back.

Once there's a first one, there's bound to be a second.

In dire circumstances, a person's will to survive can be frantic.

Since the eldest brother is willing to be this "explosive pack" that could explode at any moment, their only way to survive is to fill this explosive pack!

"Senior Brother! Hang in there!"

"Please don't blow it up! I beg you!"

"then!"

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

On the platform, the sounds of sharp blades slicing through flesh rose and fell.

All the Kunlun disciples made the same move at that moment.

Cutting one's hand, offering blood as a sacrifice.

This scene was both tragic and spectacular.

Countless crimson threads, like countless blood vessels, converged from all directions and eventually pierced into Chu Tian's back.

"Ughh ...

Chu Tian let out a bloodcurdling scream.

That wasn't pain; it was the terrifying feeling of my body about to burst.

In that instant, he felt as if he had swallowed a volcano.

The violent spiritual energy, mixed with the will of many essences and blood, rushed into his originally narrow meridians like a flood breaking through a dam.

His blood vessels bulged instantly, his skin cracked inch by inch, and blood gushed out of his seven orifices as if it were free.

He originally only had the aura of the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but he began to rise at a crazy speed that defied common sense!

Late foundation building!

Foundation Establishment Perfection!

Half-step Golden Core!

boom!

A golden wave of energy suddenly exploded outwards from Chu Tian, ​​causing ripples to spread through the surrounding air.

But that's not enough!

Leviathan has arrived.

Its massive head slammed into the shield at the bottom of the platform.

Click!

The cloud platform shield left behind by Gu Qing made a crisp sound and was instantly covered with cracks.

The immense shockwave caused hundreds of disciples who were receiving blood transfusions to cough up a mouthful of blood, their faces turning ashen.

"Not enough! Not enough!"

Chu Tian felt his bones creaking, but the level of that power was still just one layer away from the true Golden Core stage.

That is a constraint on the level of life.

Without breaking this membrane, he cannot inflict fatal damage on the monster.

Just then.

Zhao Feng, who had been lying unconscious beside Chu Tian, ​​woke up at some point.

His face was ashen, but when he looked at Chu Tian, ​​who was bleeding from all seven orifices and struggling to stay afloat, a bitter smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"Old Chu..."

"Blood alone is not enough... you also need a 'soul'."

Zhao Feng raised his hand tremblingly.

He did not cut his palm.

He pointed his fingers like a knife and plunged them deep into his chest, into the spot where his heart's blood was.

"Burning Blood Forbidden Technique: Sacrifice!"

hum!

A dark red beam of light, thicker and purer than any of the surrounding blood lines, shot out from Zhao Feng's chest and pierced directly into Chu Tian's brow.

He was burning his very essence, burning his lifespan.

"Old Zhao! Are you crazy!" Chu Tian exclaimed, his eyes wide with horror.

"Stop talking nonsense..." Zhao Feng's voice grew weaker and weaker, his body rapidly withered away, and his short, jet-black hair turned snow-white in just a few seconds. "I also want to be a... hero."

"Slay it, you bastard!!!"

boom--!!!

With the infusion of Zhao Feng's primordial blood essence, the shackles of that life level were finally shattered by brute force.

Chu Tian's skin completely ripped open, turning him into a blood-soaked figure.

However, the aura emanating from him underwent a qualitative change.

That is no longer spiritual energy.

It was a malevolent aura, seemingly from the ancient wilderness, filled with bloodshed and slaughter!

His eyes turned pure gold.

The ordinary longsword in his hand could not withstand this force at all and shattered into powder instantly.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

Because at this moment, he himself is a sword.

Chu Tian slowly raised his head.

They watched as the Leviathan, having already smashed through the shield, opened its massive jaws, ready to swallow them whole.

The oppressive aura emanating from the Golden Core stage beast no longer seemed so invincible to him at this moment.

"Eat us?"

Chu Tian's voice became hoarse and overlapping, as if more than a thousand voices were speaking at the same time.

That was the roar of the soul.

"I'll break your teeth!"

Chu Tian did not use any sword techniques.

There weren't even any extra movements.

He simply pointed his fingers into a sword shape and swung it fiercely at the gaping maw of the abyss so close at hand.

"All Spirits—Slay!!!"

hum!

A red line appeared between heaven and earth.

The red line is very thin, as thin as a strand of hair.

But it is very bright.

It was so bright that it made the sun in the sky pale in comparison.

It sliced ​​through the air, cutting through it.

It swept through space, leaving a black crack in the void.

Carrying the lifeblood of everyone, Zhao Feng's burning lifespan, and the unwavering determination to not die and not admit defeat, it surged upstream against the invincible maw of Leviathan.

Time seemed to stand still.

next second.

puff.

There was no explosion.

There was only one sound, so faint it could not be fainter.

The Leviathan, which was charging at high speed, suddenly froze.

It maintained its open-mouth posture and its charging momentum.

However, its face, which only had a mouth, was now filled with confusion and fear.

Because it felt the coolness.

A cool sensation that runs from your mouth all the way to the tip of your tail.

Click—snap—

A line of blood appeared from its upper jaw, ran down its head, through its incredibly hard back, and extended all the way to its huge tail fin.

Followed by.

This colossal Golden Core stage beast, as large as a small mountain, hovered in mid-air...

split into two.
