Chapter 391: Chapter 195: Annihilating the Divine Fire Sect, Exchanging the Spiritual Fire (Part 2)
What in the world was going on?
He had cultivated the Nijie Secret Technique for his entire life and had never encountered such a problem.
Why, of all days, had it suddenly failed during the most critical battle of his life, one he had painstakingly planned for?
The rise and fall of a person’s life was truly too swift.
Master Nijie couldn’t accept it for a moment.
He disregarded the cost to his Essence Blood and lifespan, fruitlessly casting the Secret Technique once more. Naturally, it was to no avail.
After all, he didn’t have an Augment to strengthen it.
"This... How is this possible?"
"How could this be? Why did it suddenly stop working?"
Master Nijie scrambled to cast the spell again. His face immediately turned pale, and even his hair bleached completely white.
However, to his despair, no matter how many times he tried, he couldn’t replicate Xiao Chen’s Magic.
"Two hundred years! I prepared for a full two hundred years!"
"For over seventy-three thousand days, I reviewed the Heart Method every single day."
"Every time before I absorbed Essence Blood, before I refined a Human Pill, I would worship the Yellow Springs True Monarch."
"I gave so much! I gave my everything! How could this be the result!"
"The heavens are blind! I won’t accept this! I won’t!"
His shrill cry was like a crow on a treetop, freezing to death in winter.
.
Under normal circumstances, no one would show mercy to a Demon Cultivator who slaughtered the innocent.
At least, Xiao Chen wouldn’t.
The battle was completely one-sided. With their top combatant crushed and now finding themselves outnumbered, the Demon Sect’s Golden Cores were completely unable to fight back and were picked off one by one.
"Xiao Chen, don’t force my hand."
Daoist Qian Hong tried to threaten him. "Or else I’ll activate the Endless Blood Spell and we’ll all die together!"
But before the words even left his mouth, he was swallowed by the True Yang Fire Dragon.
Immediately, a crimson thread shot out and wrapped itself directly around Xiao Chen’s Divine Soul.
It linked their lives together in an attempt to trade a life for a life.
However, the moment the Endless Blood Spell was triggered, it was instantly blocked by the Divine Protection Veil, rendering it completely ineffective.
As it turned out, the fish had indeed died, but the net had not broken.
"True Secret of the Broken Blade, Unity of Man and Blade!"
"Either the enemy dies, or I perish!"
Broken Blade Zhenren transformed completely into a blood-red Big Saber and charged at Xiao Chen.
His speed was so incredible it could rival the Chasing Stars and Racing the Moon technique.
Then he crashed headfirst into the Jade Platform Fire Lotus and truly became a broken blade.
Xiao Chen couldn’t help but shake his head. ’This is what happens when you’re too fast and neglect Body Forging.’
Still, it served as a reminder for him.
’My Escape Techniques will definitely improve in the future, so I need to put Body Forging on the agenda.’
’My late-stage Foundation Establishment physique is sufficient for now, but I can foresee that it will be inadequate once I cultivate to the Great Success Realm.’
’I should plan ahead and prepare for a rainy day.’
"Don’t kill me! If you spare me, I’ll do anything you want."
Master Yaoshang’s beautiful face turned pale with fright as she quickly begged for mercy, "As long as you don’t kill me, I’ll be your slave from now on. I know many different positions..."
As she spoke, she pulled open her Magic Robe, attempting to display her seductive, curvaceous body.
"SQUELCH!"
The sound of flesh being pierced rang out.
Master Yaoshang trembled and looked down, only to see the Red Gold Four-Sided Seven-Section Mace plunged directly into her fair abdomen.
Taking off her Magic Robe during a battle was practically showing off a weak point on purpose.
Xiao Chen naturally seized the opportunity and finished her off cleanly and decisively.
...
In just half an hour, while pinned down by the Righteous Golden Cores, the remaining five Demon Sect Golden Cores were also picked off one by one by the True Yang Fire Dragon.
Before their deaths, they tried various methods: releasing poison, self-destructing their Spiritual Artifacts, and using avatars to escape.
Unfortunately, Xiao Chen was afraid of neither poison nor explosions, and he could even use his Escape Techniques to catch up with all the avatars, killing the real ones and the fakes alike.
He had wiped out all the Divine Fire Sect Demons who had plagued the Southern Domain for over two hundred years and committed countless massacres.
Without the support of their Golden Cores, the remaining Demon Cultivators were no longer a significant threat.
The Demonic Calamity that had threatened the entire Southern Domain was finally halfway over.
The other half was the White Bone Demon Body.
"Kill them! Don’t let a single Demon Cultivator escape!"
"The time for vengeance has come! All members of the Qiu Family, charge with me!"
"Yao Dehai, take a team to recapture Wangyan Mountain! Reactivate the Defensive Array to cut off their escape route! We’ll trap them like dogs in a cage!"
...
「After the battle outside Elemental Magnetic Peak ended.」
Xiao Chen didn’t rush to exchange his Spiritual Fire. Instead, he helped hunt down the fleeing Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators, basically wiping them out completely that same day.
As for the few lucky Qi Refining Demon Cultivators who managed to hide, the lower-level Cultivators would naturally take care of them.
It wasn’t until nightfall that the Lingyuan Sect became lively again.
Everyone gathered at the peak to hold a victory banquet.
Thunder Sound True Man was beaming with joy, Master Gongliang was wreathed in smiles, and Master Ming Yue was also in high spirits.
Even Master Yaohua, who had lost the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, let out a rare sigh of relief, her mood temporarily improving considerably.
"Xiao, we truly owe you our thanks for today!"
Master Fu Jian stood up, raising a cup of wine. "On behalf of everyone in the Lingyuan Sect, I thank you for your help!"
With that, he drained his cup in one gulp.
Seeing this, the others also raised their cups to toast him in turn, celebrating this hard-won victory.
For a time, cups and goblets clinked together in a lively scene.
During the banquet, everyone praised Xiao Chen’s True Yang Fire Dragon, and some even discussed whether they should respectfully address him as True Yang Daoist or Fire Dragon Daoist from now on.
But by tacit agreement, no one asked why Xiao Chen had been able to advance to the Golden Core realm so quickly.
