Chapter 1746 Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots, a Corner of Heritage!
"Tsk-!"
An invisible, sharp aura, as if cutting through tofu,
They easily cleaved open the seemingly impenetrable water curtain cage!
The cut is smooth and even.
It didn't even cause a ripple!
Then,
The sharp ice spikes aimed at him seemed to have lost their target, hovering three feet away from him...
Suddenly stopped!
Then, like melting ice and snow, it turned into droplets of water and disappeared into the water.
"This...this is impossible!"
Huo Chen's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, his heart filled with disbelief.
Such a powerful combined attack formation was so easily dismantled by the opponent's mere two fingers!
Even a powerful expert at the half-saint level would be reduced to ashes by this terrifying attack.
suddenly.
Huo Chen seemed to have thought of something, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes.
"Could it be that the other party isn't a half-saint, but a...?"
Right now!
A calm yet undeniably authoritative voice, like ancient ice, carrying an invisible pressure, pierced Huo Chen's eardrums with unerring accuracy.
"Now,"
Cheng Buzheng lowered his finger, his gaze finally landing on Huo Chen, who was utterly horrified not far away.
At this moment, Huo Chen, the tiger shark demon at the Nascent Soul stage, was suspended stiffly in the churning seawater, his massive demonic body trembling violently from extreme terror.
His tiger-like eyes, which should have been sharp as a blade, suddenly narrowed into two thin lines as he stared intently at Cheng Buzheng, his eyes churning with disbelief and a deep-seated fear.
“Tell me,” Cheng Buzheng’s voice was calm and even, yet each word struck Huo Chen’s mind like a heavy hammer.
"What exactly is your Black Spirit Tiger Shark clan plotting recently?"
Furthermore, what are the exact locations of the clan's treasure vault and forbidden area?
Cheng Buzheng's voice was calm, yet it made Huo Chen feel his soul tremble.
That's the absolute suppression of low-level cultivators by high-level cultivators!
The group of Golden Core Realm Tiger Shark Demons, who had originally formed a battle formation, had already... the moment Cheng Buzheng broke the formation...
Unable to withstand the terrifying backlash, he coughed up blood and fainted like a kite with a broken string.
At this moment, she was lying limply not far from Huo Chen, and the aura surrounding her had become extremely weak.
Like a candle flame in the wind, it flickers and dies out with a single breath.
Upon hearing Cheng Buzheng's words, Huo Chen's last shred of hope was completely extinguished.
Then he was completely ignited by raging anger, which replaced it with overwhelming killing intent and determination.
He suddenly opened his enormous mouth, filled with sharp teeth, intending to urge the demon infant to create a commotion at the cost of his soul being scattered, to send a warning signal to the clan.
Obviously.
He also knew that this uninvited guest was trying to find out the clan's secrets, and that was definitely not for any good purpose.
As for dragging the other person to their death together?
Although He wanted to, Huo Chen knew in his heart that it was simply impossible.
The difference between the two is simply too great.
But this is also His final counterattack against the villain.
However, just as Huo Chen was about to self-destruct the demon infant...
Cheng Buzheng's voice, as if it could read his mind like a tapeworm, echoed clearly in his mind once more, a voice so indifferent it seemed to freeze time, like the most vicious curse:
"Fine!"
Since you refuse to yield even unto death, then I will grant your wish.
As the sound faded, Cheng Buzheng pointed his fingers like a sword and gently tapped the void.
An indescribable five-colored divine light shot out from his fingertips.
The divine light did not shoot out in a straight line.
Instead, at the moment of separation, it strangely twisted and expanded, transforming into a multicolored, flowing chain.
With speed exceeding that of lightning, it instantly disappeared into Huo Chen's enormous demonic body.
The speed was so fast that it far exceeded Huo Chen's reaction limit.
next moment.
He was horrified to discover that his demonic body, honed over thousands of years and possessing the power to destroy mountains and cleave seas...
At this moment, it was like a skin bag that had all its bones removed, completely out of control!
What terrified him even more was...
Huo Chen clearly sensed that the connection between himself and the demon infant was forcibly severed and blocked by an invisible force.
Let alone the self-destruction of the demon infant to warn the clan, it couldn't even move a single finger!
An unprecedented and intense sense of unease overwhelmed Huo Chen like a tidal wave.
The seemingly human cultivator before him felt a thousand times more dangerous than when he faced the most powerful elder in his clan!
At the same time, a bad feeling welled up in His heart.
Since the other party can easily control my physical body, then what happens next...?
What can it do?
Various thoughts were swirling wildly in Huo Chen's mind.
An incomparably domineering force swept over, completely enveloping its massive demonic body.
next moment,
Huo Chen felt as if he had turned into a powerless withered leaf, involuntarily flying towards the large, luminous hand that hovered in front of him, covered with intricate and ancient patterns.
That enormous hand seemed to contain the majesty of heaven and earth, its surface patterns swirling with a chilling dark light.
Every line seemed to come alive, radiating an aura that devoured everything.
"Oh!"
A deep, resounding boom, like the beating of a drum, exploded in the dark depths of the sea, causing ripples to spread across the surrounding waters.
Cheng Buzheng's outstretched hand landed squarely on the tiger shark demon's forehead.
Huo Chen, his face filled with terror, remained motionless in the water, his hands stiffly outstretched in a bizarre posture.
At this moment, He also saw through the other party's plan completely.
Unfortunately, it was all too late.
As the lines appearing on Cheng Buzheng's palm shimmered...
A piercing scream, so shrill it was almost inhuman, shattered the silence of the seabed.
Huo Chen immediately felt an immense pain emanating from his soul, and his enormous demonic body convulsed violently as if being shaken.
He immediately let out a scream.
this moment.
He finally understood what it meant to be worse than dead.
It felt as if his soul was being pierced and torn apart by countless red-hot steel needles, and every inch of his soul was wailing and collapsing.
This kind of pain is a thousand times more terrifying than directly crushing His demonic infant!
That was the ultimate torture, worse than death!
Before Huo Chen's consciousness gradually blurred amidst the excruciating pain, his last thought surfaced.
"Soul-searching technique... truly the most vicious... magic of the human race!"
He only lasted for less than two breaths before Huo Chen's eyes rolled back, he foamed at the mouth, and he completely lost consciousness.
His enormous demonic body was still trembling violently and unconsciously.
It felt like it could collapse at any moment.
Even a Nascent Soul stage demon suffered such a fate when faced with the soul-searching spell, demonstrating the agony of soul-searching...
It is absolutely unbearable for ordinary cultivators.
No wonder countless cultivators in the cultivation world turn pale and avoid the topic of soul-searching techniques at all costs.
The insidious nature of this technique lies in its ability to forcibly strip away the soul, causing the living to suffer the agony of their soul being torn apart. Even if they do not die, they will surely become mentally impaired.
Even highly skilled Nascent Soul demons rarely manage to escape unscathed from this technique.
It truly deserves to be called the 'most vicious spell in the world' by countless cultivators.
suddenly.
Cheng Buzheng, who stood quietly, had a hint of joy in his eyes.
"found it!"
He then flicked his wrist...
The enormous demonic body, floating horizontally in the sea, crashed down, stirring up a cloud of murky sewage.
Cheng Buzheng glanced coldly at the tiger shark demon, whose body was still trembling but whose life force was still fluctuating, and the unconscious Golden Core demon beside it.
With a casual wave of his hand, a fist-sized ball of golden flame appeared out of thin air in his palm.
This flame was unlike any other; it did not rely on burning but instead emitted a terrifyingly high temperature that seemed capable of incinerating everything.
Even in the dimly lit seabed, this golden flame stood out remarkably.
It seemed to dispel some of the surrounding darkness.
The strange thing is...
After the blazing golden flame entered the water,
Instead of going out, it burned fiercely in the water, reflecting a golden glow on the surrounding sea.
As the flames subsided, a sizable sea of golden fire spread across the water at a visible speed.
It quickly enveloped Huo Chen's unconscious demon body, as well as the three Golden Core Realm Tiger Shark Demons who had also fainted not far away.
In the blink of an eye,
That area was left with only a rolling, boiling golden sea of fire and the occasional string of bubbles.
Even Huo Chen, a Nascent Soul cultivator, couldn't utter a complete scream under the overwhelming golden flames before being completely incinerated.
The remaining few wisps of soul screamed and vanished in the flames.
that's all···
These tiger shark demons didn't even have time to utter a scream before they were burned in front of their own clan's protective formation.
See this scene.
An old saying involuntarily came to Cheng Buzheng's mind:
This can be considered a return to one's roots!
next moment.
Cheng Buzheng suppressed the inexplicable thought that had just arisen, and with a flicker of his body, he disappeared from the spot like a wisp of smoke.
……
After a while.
The enormous light curtain, which had been shimmering with a faint glow and seemed unchanging since time immemorial, suddenly trembled violently.
Then, a narrow crack slowly appeared.
A formidable squadron of tiger sharks emerged from the crevice, their direction remarkably clear...
This is the very spot where the group of tiger shark demons were burned alive.
Leading the pack was a colossal creature, over a thousand feet long, emanating a terrifyingly powerful aura.
This was none other than a powerful demon whose cultivation had reached the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage!
He is only one step away from reaching the realm of a half-saint.
"Have you thoroughly investigated everything? Are there any other unusual fluctuations?"
The leader, the Tiger Shark Demon Lord, spoke in a low voice, tinged with a barely perceptible anxiety.
"Your Majesty," a somewhat disheveled tiger shark demon hurriedly stepped forward and reported.
"We have repeatedly searched the area within several miles, and apart from the natural fluctuations generated when the clan's protective formation is in operation, there is no suspicious spiritual energy or magical power remaining."
Even the smell of blood and moisture in the air were completely normal.
“I have also personally investigated,” another tiger shark demon added, his tone equally grave.
"The clan protection formation is operating normally, and no signs of attack have been detected."
"Could it be the commotion caused by a sea monster?"
Hear this!
The leading tiger shark demon lord snorted coldly, and its massive tail fin slammed against the seawater, creating a thousand layers of waves.
"impossible!
This sea area is the foundation of our people.
With the protection of the clan's formation, this sea area was filled with a mysterious fluctuation.
Those mindless sea creatures dared not approach.
What's more.
When have you ever seen any sea creatures roaming in these waters?
"If so, it must be another race in disguise."
“Not bad!” another tiger shark demon chimed in.
"Other intelligent races, even if they come to this sea area, do not dare to dive in."
Once discovered, there is no reason to kill them outright.
This rule is also a symbol of the prestige of our elite race.
"Moreover, the patrols of our own kind are not to be trifled with, and in the past, it was impossible for other races to infiltrate our clan's protective formation."
As for the suspicion that there was a malfunction in the operation of the clan protection formation, that is impossible!
Even if they doubt themselves, they will not doubt the clan-protecting formation.
After all, the clan-protecting formation had been operating for countless years and had been perfected by successive demon lords, and had never malfunctioned.
The protective formation had just shown obvious signs of disturbance...
Obviously.
Other races have infiltrated.
Moreover, the cultivators who infiltrated this place are no ordinary people.
It's not difficult, nor is it easy to sneak up on someone's doorstep without them noticing.
Similar thoughts surfaced in the minds of the tiger shark demons.
at this time···
One of the tiger shark demons put down the conch-shaped treasure in his hand, his expression quite grim.
Seeing this, the leading tiger shark demon king asked:
"what happened?"
"Just now, when I questioned the patrol team, I discovered that Huo Chen's team, which was patrolling the southeast area, had lost contact!"
This statement came out.
The group of tiger shark demons immediately reconnected with Huo Chen's team after losing contact with the unusual activity that had appeared in their clan's protective formation!
At the same time, they also knew in their hearts that Huo Chen's team had most likely met with misfortune.
The tiger shark demon present also turned very ugly.
Think of this.
The leader, the Tiger Shark Demon Lord, flashed a cold light in his eyes and said in a chilling voice:
"Contact the person on duty at the temple and ask them to check the life tablets of Huo Chen and his fellow clansmen to see if they are still intact?"
Upon hearing this, one of the tiger shark demons didn't waste any words and immediately took out a jade talisman that shimmered with spiritual light.
A few moments.
The tiger shark demon holding the jade talisman put it down.
Seeing this, the eyes of the other members of the clan all fell on Him.
"how?"
"The life tablets have all cracked."
The people on duty assumed that Huo Chen's team had encountered an accident while traveling with the clan leader, so they didn't pay much attention.
That's why it wasn't reported immediately.
Upon hearing this, the group of tiger shark monsters lost all hope.
The tiger shark demon in the lead was even more furious.
Originally, doing such a cushy job as a guard was no worse than that of those of his clansmen who went to war with the army.
Moreover, there is no danger of its demise.
There will surely be a reward when the clan chief returns.
Perhaps we could have used this to advance further, but now such a huge mistake has occurred...
Instead of receiving a reward, you're very likely to be punished.
How could He not be angry when He thought of this?
This is tantamount to cutting off His path, making Him an irreconcilable enemy.
The only way to make amends now is to find and kill the lurking thieves.
However, He was able to cultivate to the peak of the Great Demon realm, which is the late-stage peak of the Nascent Soul realm.
A powerful figure who was just a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the Half-Saint realm...
His temperament is naturally not weak.
