"Puchi!" Just as Feng Tian was gathering his strength and preparing to give it a try.
Suddenly, a palm pierced through his chest without warning and suddenly appeared in his sight.
The palm was white and slender, the fingers were thin but revealed a special sense of power, the skin was as smooth as mutton-fat jade, and in this atmosphere full of blood and killing, it seemed somewhat out of place, completely different from the bodies of the surrounding black-robed men with a lifeless aura.
Feng Tian suddenly felt the strength in his body rapidly dissipating like the tide. He instantly lost all his strength and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth uncontrollably.
He lowered his head with difficulty, staring at the hand that pierced through his chest with wide eyes, his eyes full of disbelief and horror.
Relying on his years of experience, he could instantly tell that the owner of this hand was definitely a young human male.
Realizing this, he was even more horrified, and a feeling of confusion and resentment surged in his heart.
At this moment of death, he used all his strength, fighting for the last bit of clarity, and slowly turned his head, just wanting to see clearly in the last moment of his life the real person behind this desperate situation and his origin.
Chapter 534 Leaving
Elder Feng Tian used up his last bit of strength and slowly turned his head. He fully expected to see the appearance of the person behind the scenes, but when his eyes actually made contact, his heart was shaken violently. The contrast was so great that he was almost in a trance.
What came into view was a young man with an upright figure, wearing a light blue robe inlaid with gold, which made his temperament even more extraordinary.
The waterfall-like blue hair was casually draped behind her, as if it had a soul. Even though there was no wind around, it still fluttered gently on its own, revealing an indescribable sense of freedom and nobility.
Looking at that face again, his facial features were like beautiful jades carefully carved, and every line was just right. His sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, his eyes were as deep as the vast stars, his nose was high, and his thin lips were slightly raised, outlining a faint smile, as if everything in the world was under his control. With that outstanding appearance, anyone who saw it would probably be unable to help but take a few more glances.
However, when the young man noticed that Elder Feng Tian's gaze was on him, his originally calm and confident expression inevitably revealed a hint of surprise.
Although it was only a fleeting slight change, it was keenly captured by Elder Ye Fengtian. However, he did not pay any more attention to it.
Elder Feng Tian looked at the recognizable face in front of him, and a storm surged in his heart. The shock instantly overwhelmed him like a surging tide. Almost the moment his eyes met, he recognized the identity of the person.
This young man is none other than Xiao Ling, one of the current candidates for Danta's battle against Danta's giants, the boss of Xingyun Pavilion, and the leader of the last Dan Conference.
In this vast Zhongzhou continent, Xiao Ling has always been known as "Zhongzhou's No. 1 demon". Ever since he refined a nine-color eighth-grade elixir at the Alchemy Conference and won the championship with a crushing momentum, he has also been known as "the continent's No. 1 alchemist."
He fought his way through the remote northwestern continent, and with his own perseverance and talent, he reached his current height, which is admired by many people. He has created a legendary past in Zhongzhou.
This past event is often used as a topic of conversation among many people in Zhongzhou after dinner, and is passed on by word of mouth. It also inspires many practitioners to take him as an example and move forward courageously on the path of cultivation.
However, among these ancient clans with profound heritage, the information they know is more detailed and rich.
It is said that this Xiao Ling is a descendant of the Xiao clan, one of the eight ancient clans thousands of years ago. The Xiao clan once had a great reputation in the Douqi Continent. Although it has declined after thousands of years of changes, the Xiao Ling in front of him seems to have risen again with the glory of the Xiao clan, and has stirred up his own storm on this ever-changing continent.
However, no matter how hard Elder Feng Tian racked his brains to think about it, he just couldn't understand why Xiao Ling appeared here and was able to control so many people to trap the various magical beast forces and human explorers who came to explore the ancient ruins here.
Judging from the information they had collected before, isn't Xiao Ling currently only at the Dou Zun realm?
According to common sense, he is just an ordinary Dou Zun, how could he possess such a terrifyingly powerful strength? What's more, he actually has such a group of extraordinary strong men under his command. They have never heard of such news.
All of this happened suddenly, like a fog, filled Elder Feng Tian with doubts. However, at this moment, he no longer had the energy to delve into the cause behind this accident. The breath of life was gradually dissipating as the power in his body drained away like a tide...
Xiao Ling looked at the elder of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan in front of him, who was staring at him with eyes full of disbelief.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but slightly raise his eyebrows, smile softly, and then muttered to himself: "As expected of an elder of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, his vitality is quite tenacious, and he is quite difficult to kill."
Previously, Xiao Ling had discovered that the elder of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan had used the Demon Phoenix Bell. The Demon Phoenix Bell was so powerful and had such strong defensive capabilities that several of his Dou Zun-level banner slaves were unable to take it down in a short period of time.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Ling decided to show up in person, quietly go behind the elder, and launch a surprise attack, hoping to finish him off in one fell swoop to avoid any further complications.
However, looking at the current situation, this elder of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan has obviously recognized his identity.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but shake his head slightly, secretly complaining in his heart that he was not decisive enough. If this situation happened again when fighting with others in the future, it would be a big negligence.
However, Xiao Ling did not dwell on this matter any further, thinking that he would just be more careful in the future.
The most important thing at the moment is to get rid of the elder of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan as soon as possible.
After all, even if he recognized his identity, he was now trapped in this barrier and had no way of passing the message on. There was nothing to worry about. It was better to fight quickly and decisively to avoid any other accidents.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling no longer hesitated. He pulled his arm violently and instantly pulled it out from the body of the Sky Demon Phoenix clan elder, causing blood to splatter everywhere. The scene looked quite tragic.
The elder of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan suffered such a severe blow that he spurted out a mouthful of blood immediately. His life force also became weaker and weaker like a candle that is about to go out.
Looking at Xiao Ling again, although a large amount of blood splashed when he pulled his hand away, the blood seemed to be completely blocked by an invisible object and did not splash on his body at all. His palms were still as white as jade, without any blood.
However, in his palm, there was an extra magic core at this moment. The magic core was green and red, and it was glowing with a strange light. An immense amount of energy surged out of it, setting off waves of excitement. It was exactly the eighth-rank magic core of this elder of the Sky Demon Phoenix clan.
Xiao Ling looked at the eighth-rank Heavenly Demon Phoenix Demon Core in his palm, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face, and he nodded slightly.
The Sky Demon Phoenix Demon Core is extremely rare, and a high-level one like this is even rarer. If it appeared in the outside world, it would definitely cause quite a stir.
After taking a quick look at it, he didn't think any more about it. He casually flipped his palm and easily put the magic core into the ring for safekeeping.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling's gaze fell on the body of the elder of the Sky Demon Phoenix clan who had collapsed in front of him. Adhering to the principle of not wasting, he thought that this was at least the body of an eighth-rank Sky Demon Phoenix, which was full of treasures.
Just the wings of the Sky Demon Phoenix are enough to refine a high-quality flying fighting skill, which can be used by people around you. That would be perfect.
Thinking of this, he immediately took action to collect the corpse as well. Then he raised his eyes and looked at the chaotic fighting scene inside the barrier.
The area within the barrier had now become a tragic battlefield.
Those banner slaves released by Xiao Ling were like tigers among a flock of sheep, and they launched a one-sided massacre on people from all forces.
All I saw were brilliant yet desperate rays of fighting spirit flashing continuously. It was the last struggle of the crowd, but in the end it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, unable to withstand the powerful and fierce attack of the banner slaves.
Fresh lives were constantly lost in this brutal slaughter. Some people opened their eyes wide, their faces filled with fear and unwillingness. They fell to the ground before they could even utter a scream. Some people screamed miserably, trying to summon a glimmer of life, but their hopes were ruthlessly crushed. Blood dyed the land red, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air.
No matter whether it was the normally majestic monsters or the self-proclaimed extraordinary high-level human practitioners, at this moment they were all crushed by this absolute strength, without any ability to fight back, and could only die in despair.
The lively scene that originally brought people together with the dream of treasure hunting had long been replaced by endless death and blood. The entire barrier space was filled with despair and wailing, like purgatory on earth.
When Xiao Ling looked at the scene filled with blood and death before him, his heart was indeed stirred at first. After all, it would be difficult for anyone to remain indifferent after seeing such a tragic scene.
However, he quickly regained his composure, and his eyes returned to their previous indifference.
This Douqi continent is an extremely cruel world. All kinds of bizarre, cruel and bloody things are common. Even the kind of cultivation method that improves cultivation by devouring the flesh and blood of other people is not uncommon.
Since these people are greedy and want to come to this ancient ruins to search for treasures, they naturally have to be prepared to face all kinds of misfortunes and dangers.
Besides, who among those who have come this far has clean hands and has never been involved in a death?
Everyone is struggling to survive in this cruel world. In order to become stronger and for resources, they have gone through countless bloody battles. Now this is just another manifestation of a cruel struggle.
If anyone is to blame, they can only blame themselves for their own weakness, which is the original sin that leads to all the misfortunes.
……
A quarter of an hour later, the black barrier that had covered the entire mountain range like a curtain began to slowly fade away, as if a mysterious veil was slowly lifted, gradually revealing the scene inside.
However, what I saw before me was a far cry from the bustling and bustling scene not long ago when so many people gathered.
The place was eerily quiet at the moment, with corpses lying all over the ground and blood staining the land. Most of the people who had originally had various expectations and ambitions were now silent, leaving only dead silence and desolation.
Even though the Skeleton Mountain Range is made up of the skeletons of numerous monsters, it usually exudes an eerie and dead atmosphere.
But at this moment, against the backdrop of such a tragic situation, it seems extremely gloomy, desolate and bleak, like the Nine Nether Hell.
The bones all over the mountains and the newly added corpses were intertwined, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air and lingered, making this already chilly place even more creepy.
A moment later, Xiao Ling walked slowly out of the mountain range that was filled with a hint of eerie and bloody atmosphere. He raised his head slightly, looked into the distance, and took a good look at the blue sky that he had not seen for nearly twenty days. This made his mood feel a little more open.
At this moment, at the distant edge of the sky, a slender black shadow flashed by like lightning, at an extremely fast speed. In almost an instant, it appeared in front of Xiao Ling, and then quietly floated in the air.
Sensing the movement, Xiao Ling looked over and took a closer look. It was none other than Rayquaza, who had been ordered to guard outside.
When Liekongzuo came close to Xiao Ling, his body quickly shrank a lot. At this moment, it was only a few feet long. It looked less intimidating than before and more agile.
It approached Xiao Ling intimately and neighed a few times in a low voice. Although it did not utter any human words, the meaning was clearly conveyed to Xiao Ling's mind. Naturally, it meant that it was really hungry after guarding outside for these days and needed some food to replenish its strength.
After knowing Liekongzuo's idea, Xiao Ling was very generous. He immediately took out a lot of high-level medicinal herbs from his ring and placed them in front of Liekongzuo, allowing it to enjoy them.
After all, Xiao Ling had harvested many rare medicinal herbs in the ancient ruins before. Now that the Sky Splitting Seat needs them, he naturally had to reward it well.
You know, if it weren't for Rayquaza who had been diligently keeping watch outside, Xiao Linghe would not have been able to detect the situation outside in the first place.
Having received so many high-level medicinal herbs as a reward, Liekongzuo was obviously very satisfied. His originally cold expression became much more cheerful. There was a cheerful light flashing in his eyes, and the aura around him seemed to have become lighter.
However, it did not stay here for too long. It just tasted a little and after enjoying this rare delicacy, it bent down and let Xiao Ling sit steadily on its back. Then it stretched its body and carried Xiao Ling to fly out of the Skeleton Mountain Range.
It was so fast that in the blink of an eye it turned into a small black dot in the sky. After a moment, it completely disappeared, leaving only the whistling sound of the wind, still echoing over the slightly silent mountains.
Sitting cross-legged on the back of the Split Sky Throne, Xiao Ling naturally did not forget the four girls, Zi Yan, who were still in his personal space.
When the Likong Seat carried him a short distance away from the Skeleton Mountain Range, Xiao Ling had an idea and used some means to release the four people from his personal space.
Seeing that Xiao Ling was safe and sound, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they all knew that with Xiao Ling's current strength, he would not encounter any major trouble under normal circumstances, but until the dust really settled, everyone would inevitably feel a little worried.
Then, facing everyone, they began to ask Xiao Ling what the situation was like there after he left the ancient ruins, but Xiao Ling just casually answered with a few words and did not talk about the details in detail.
Seeing Xiao Ling's reluctance to discuss further, everyone understood and naturally gave up the idea of continuing to ask questions in this regard.
Xiao Ling was very satisfied with this situation. He did not continue the conversation about the ancient ruins. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Northwestern Continent, it's time for us to go back."
Chapter 535 The Origin of the Soul
On the continent of the northern region of Zhongzhou, there is a place called "Dark Abyss Ghost Valley".
This place is extremely secluded, hidden among the mountains, and surrounded by steep and rugged mountains, like a natural barrier, isolating it from the world.
This place is so remote that even those who have lived in the northern part of Zhongzhou for many years are mostly unaware of the existence of such a place.
The valley is shrouded in a thick layer of fog all year round. The fog seems to have a spirit, entangled and twisted in strands, exuding an indescribable strange aura.
As you step into the valley, you will be surrounded by rugged rocks of various shapes. Some are like ferocious evil spirits, with bared fangs and claws; some are like withered skeletons, with empty "eye sockets" that seem to be staring at the intruders, making people feel a chill on their backs.
The vegetation in the valley is also very scarce. There are occasionally a few dead trees growing crookedly, and the trunks are covered with black spots, as if they have been eroded by some evil force. The branches are like twisted arms, stretching weakly towards the sky, yet seeming to be struggling desperately.
The grass on the ground was all yellow and withered, and made a rustling sound when stepped on, as if it was the painful groans of wronged souls in the underground.
The sky is always gloomy, with thick dark clouds pressing on the top of the valley all year round, with no sunlight shining through. Occasionally, the shrill cries of a few crows break the dead silence, echoing between the valleys, adding a sense of eeriness and terror.
This gloomy and strange area is exactly the same as the Soul Palace's ruthless and mysterious style. Because of this, it is not surprising that there is also a branch of the Soul Palace located deep in the Dark Valley of Ghosts.
Suddenly, on a hilltop in the Dark Abyss Ghost Valley, the originally calm void began to twist slightly, as if the space was stirred by an invisible giant hand, causing ripples.
Then, a tall man's figure appeared as if slowly peeling out from the endless darkness, and walked out from the slowly forming space vortex with steady steps.
After Xiao Ling emerged from the space vortex, he stood firmly, first raised his eyes slightly, and then slowly looked around.
There was a scrutinizing look in his deep eyes as he carefully took in the strange and eerie situation around him.
Looking at the strange rocks that exuded a rotten smell, the twisted and dry trees, and the haze that seemed to never dissipate, Xiao Ling couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and marveled, then muttered to himself:
