Without even a chance to shriek, helpless demonic beasts met their demise abruptly.
A multitude of corpses, either sinking to the ocean floor or floating to the surface, swiftly dotted vast expanses of the sea with their diverse remains.
Nevertheless, from the cracks in the ocean bed, an incessant stream of demonic beasts conti...
Simultaneously.
[Ding! You have slightly altered the plot, successfully preventing the protagonist, Gu Ran, from showing off and emerging victorious. Gu Ran's Heavenly Fate Value has been reduced by 300 points!]
[Ding! You have earned 600 Villain Value points!]
The system prompts echoed in Jiang Chen's mind, pulling a sm...
"My friend, let's journey together!"
"This stretch of sea seems peculiar. Having some company on the return journey would be advantageous."
One of the followers caught Fu Huacan's eye, immediately grasped his intentions, and amplified his proposal.
"Indeed!"
Another follower added, "Let's not delay further. We sho...
'What's going on?'
'I felt as though someone just swept their gaze over me again!'
'There clearly aren't any cultivators in this nearby sea area, what exactly is happening?'
'...'
The moment Jiang Chen's gaze fell upon him, Gu Ran was overcome with confusion and apprehension. His skin tingled with a chilly sensati...
Jiang Chen, with a strategy to confront Gu Ran well-established in his mind, decided to act resolutely.
Launching himself with a quick thrust of his feet, he took to the air towards the marine region where Gu Ran resided.
Simultaneously, on the coral reef, Gu Ran persisted in maintaining his ability of stealth.
However, ...
'His alertness is truly remarkable!'
'In addition, his Heavenly Fate Value endows him with a keen sense for detecting villains.'
'I merely watched him briefly, and his intuition instantly came into play.'
'...'
With these thoughts circulating in his mind, a soft smile gradually appeared on Jiang Chen's face.
Moreover, there was more to it than just the ability to slay extraordinary entities and siphon off a portion of their cultivation base.
The 'Endless Dark Blood Moon' bloodline had two additional unusual abilities.
The first one was the 'Spectral Concealment' ability!
The ramifications of this concealment were immensely c...
'Hmph!'
'Finally, we've pinpointed where you'll be stirring up trouble, Gu Ran!'
'Finding you has been no easy task, truly no simple feat!'
'If it had been anyone else, they wouldn't have managed to locate you at all. They would've unknowingly let you grow stronger, only to be ruthlessly slain and beheaded by you!'
"Holy Son Jiang Chen."
"Why do you give such weight to this Gu Ran, that you seem to harbor some concern?"
Jing Chengwang posed the question, sensing a touch of unease from Jiang Chen towards Gu Ran.
Jiang Chen had even brought down a Transcendence realm great powerhouse before, so how could he possibly feel any unease t...
'As expected... this girl.'
Ji Yilan couldn't help a wave of relief flood over her, as she observed the engrossed expression on her daughter's face.
She had initially foreseen that if Jing Miaoyao agreed to yield her painstakingly earned bloodline to Jiang Chen, it might cultivate a root of remorse in her heart.
But pres...
'My standard combat power has nearly hit the peak of the Dao Palace realm!'
'It's unquestionably exceeded the capabilities of an average Late-stage Dao Palace realm cultivator, hasn't it?'
'This implies that with just my standard combat power, Ji Mingxiu stands no chance against me!'
'Wow, what a thrill!'
On check...
'I must hurry to the Lustrous Yang Domain now.'
'Yet, the power of the Purple Heaven Immortal Martial Sword... it hasn't fully recovered.'
'In addition, after utilizing the Purple Heaven Immortal Martial Sword, it requires immediate return to its formation for recuperation.'
'If deployed for combat, it can likely withsta...
The message from Ji Mingxiu was detailed, yet its essence was far from convoluted.
In essence, it revolved around Ji Mingxiu's cousin from a different domain, Ji Yilan.
News of Jiang Chen — a peerless prodigy — and his imminent quest to rise as the foremost genius of the entire continent sparked a keen interest in her. An o...
Having returned, Jiang Chen promptly found himself a serene chamber to recuperate and rest.
The secret arts that Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning had selected for him were self-damaging in nature, albeit with relatively mild consequences.
Given the judicious usage of these secret arts, the resultant repercussions were far from se...
In a distant location, where the once lofty Verdant Leaf Giant Peak had stood, only a leveled terrain could be seen. This towering mountain was now reshaped into a wide expanse resembling a large basin!
Ji Mingxiu, along with several other formidable individuals from the Purple Heaven Holy Land, and four members from the Jade Lake Hea...
"What?!"
Long Tianlu's expression, initially marked with a sneer, underwent a rapid transformation filled with stark disbelief and terror.
He had assumed in his heart that Jiang Chen, suffering from the aftereffects of the secret art, had lost his fighting capabilities and retreated into the Holy Land.
But to his shock, ...
"Let's commence!"
Jiang Chen retrieved a Dao Comprehension realm Nether Soul Crystal. His hands clasped and fingers entwined, he nestled the crystal within his palms.
Immediately thereafter, the Dao Yuan Power within him followed a unique pathway, beginning to circulate.
With the aid of Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning, Ji...
'Next!'
Grasping the Peerless Heaven Piercing Sword, Jiang Chen metamorphosed into an unseen specter, navigating unimpeded amidst an endless swarm of demonic beasts!
Even as he was engaged in the bloodbath against the Nether Soul Demon Clan, Jiang Chen was meticulous not to overlook the opportunity to employ the Wordless Heaven...
A chilling laughter echoed through the dim expanse of the subterranean cavern as a scarlet radiance gradually suffused the darkness, revealing the figure of a tall, imposing man.
This man, distinguished by a crown of bloody hair and a complexion as pale as moonlight, possessed eyes that were demonically captivating.
His identit...
This formidable column of light, formed of Nether Demon Spiritual Qi, possessed a diameter surpassing that of the Verdant Leaf Giant Peak.
For a fleeting moment, it appeared as though a dark cosmic pillar had penetrated both the heavens and the earth of the Immortal Martial Continent!
"What!"
"Such a thick concentration ...
"So, additional materials are required for its activation."
"It appears to be a secret art connected with the healing discipline..."
Xu Xinlan and her companions analyzed the jade slip, nodding collectively, signifying there were no issues.
"Then, our transaction is finalized."
Ji Mingxiu stated, grinning while he...
Jiang Chen's attention was instantaneously riveted to the Purple Heaven Immortal Martial Sword.
The sword's handle and guard presented a dark purple tint, while the blade was pristine white, lucid and transparent, casting a subtle lavender radiance.
As delicate as a cicada's wing, the edge of the sword bore countless miniscule ...
"Hold on, what's this?"
"Could it be... the aura of the Wind Dao?!"
"Jiang Chen, have you truly grasped the Wind Dao once more?"
"Advancing through a minor realm, while also fathoming the profound teachings of the Great Dao? This is overwhelmingly formidable!"
"..."
Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning detected a...
Secluded in a serene chamber overflowing with abundant Spiritual Qi, Jiang Chen found himself seated on a woven mat, procuring a storage ring.
This band was the vault for the spiritual plants that Ji Mingxiu and his team had tirelessly collected!
A scan with his divine sense revealed to Jiang Chen the existence of two spiritual...
"Absolutely not!"
Jiang Chen firmly declined the proposition at hand.
"Are you apprehensive that the Imperial Extreme Heavenly Palace and the Nether Demon Clan will pool their resources to launch an assault on the Purple Heaven Holy Land?"
Ji Mingxiu, his eyes reflecting profound contemplation, posed the question after a...
"Ji Mingxiu, we're pressed for time, observe carefully."
The figure of Dong Yuanzheng surfaced in the mirror, a tall, lean, and aloof old man with raven hair.
Once Dong Yuanzheng had finished speaking, the display immediately morphed into intricate text.
These were fragments of formation-setting techniques and mnemonic i...
Simultaneously, in the northern region of the Bottomless Abyss, an intricate series of white stone mountain ranges stretched across the expansive landscape.
Upon each ivory-white peak, innumerable vibrant mountain lakes were nestled.
From a sky-high perspective, the view resembled dozens of massive white dragons sprawled across...
Time passed in a leisurely manner.
Jiang Chen proficiently executed the Nether Qi Extraction Secrets.
One by one, the cultivators from the Holy Land evaded the corroding influence of the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi under his care, achieving full recovery.
Simultaneously, outside the boundaries of the Holy Land, thanks to t...
"Fortunately, the demonic beings, having ascended to the Third Step of the Cultivation Path, are barred from traversing the Bottomless Abyss."
Pausing briefly to ponder, Sha An declared, "Relying on the might of our Immortal Martial Continent, we should have the capability to hold our ground."
"Let's not rush to jubilation just...
In the present moment.
"Look, there!"
An astute cultivator declared in a hushed tone, "That... It's Fang Yuan's body. He has met his end! Such a pitiful sight indeed."
"Regretful? Hardly!"
"During our hasty retreat, I bore witness to the Honorable Holy Son urging Fang Yuan to flee."
"However, Fang Yuan adam...
