Summon the Shadow Legion at the start and create the Underworld Palace!

"you...."

"What do you want to do?!"

Seemingly sensing his gaze, Mu Qianlan and the others trembled, a sense of fear rising in their hearts.

At the beginning, they could maintain an arrogant attitude.

So, after witnessing the power of the Beginningless Bell, that attitude has long since vanished!

Let alone a saintly king!

Even a Great Sage, or even a Quasi-Emperor stronger than a Great Sage, might not be able to directly confront an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon!

"hehe!"

"Lingxu Cave Heaven, your courage is commendable..."

"Today, I will exterminate your entire family!"

Chen Yu's voice slowly drifted over.

The words fell.

Almost instantly, Mu Qianlan and the others turned and fled into the distance.

Without the slightest hesitation, they even chose to burn their own life essence, sparing no expense in their attempt to escape.

"Trying to escape?"

"Can they escape?!"

Chen Yu glanced at them.

shhhhh--

Before he could speak, the Shadow Legion had already caught up with him at an extremely fast speed.

Clang!

A cold glint flashed by.

The blade light, carrying a terrifying aura, howled wildly in mid-air, piercing through space.

"not good!"

The blade was getting closer and closer.

The two slowest of the saints felt a chill run down their spines, sensing a strong sense of impending death.

Without any hesitation, the two simultaneously unleashed their signature weapons.

"Block them!"

They shouted in unison.

Although he was seriously injured, he was still a Saint King level expert.

So what if one reaches the pinnacle of sainthood?

They may not be without the ability to fight!

Two superior-grade holy weapons were summoned and floated in front of him, constantly radiating powerful energy.

Driven by the full power of the two Saint Kings, they formed rings of true energy barriers, attempting to block the Shadow Legion's strike.

But suddenly—

Click!

Click!

Two crisp sounds rang out almost simultaneously.

Their natal weapons, just like the Eight Desolate Heavenly Ruins Tower from before, were instantly destroyed under the blade's light.

"Pfft!"

Both of the saintly kings coughed up blood.

Before they could even react, their bodies had already been cleaved in two by the samurai sword.

Blood splattered everywhere, a horrifying sight!

Along with their souls, they were completely annihilated along with their life force.

This is a brand new trait that the Shadow Legion gains after upgrading—Annihilation Soul!

The attacks they unleash can directly affect the soul, or even... directly annihilate the soul!

Therefore, even in death, both of them had an expression of disbelief on their faces.

On the other side...

The other Shadow Legion members were also busy.

They transformed into death gods, constantly wielding their samurai swords to reap the lives of everyone in Lingxu Cave.

"Ahhhhh—"

"don't want!"

"I've just broken through to the early stage of Sainthood, and I still have a long life ahead of me, please don't kill me..."

"Mu Qianlan, this is all your fault!"

"I told you before, don't mess with the underworld, and now you've got me killed, you idiot..."

"..."

One after another, piercing screams echoed from all corners of the Spirit Ruins Cave.

Some begged for mercy, some were unwilling to accept it...

Some even started swearing.

They were cursing none other than Mu Qianlan, the leader of Lingxu Cave Heaven.

If he hadn't deliberately provoked the Underworld, how could things have turned out this way?

midair.

Mu Qianlan took in every word of these words, her heart filled with extreme complex emotions.

He doesn't plan to run away anymore!

As he watched his disciples fall one after another, a look of regret and resentment appeared on his face.

"Wrong!"

"Completely wrong!"

He gave a bitter laugh.

She turned around and looked at Chen Yu, who was standing not far away, her eyes bloodshot.

"My Lingxu Cave Heaven's tens of thousands of years of foundation have all been destroyed by you alone."

Even if it means death, I will take you down with me!

boom!!

next moment.

Mu Qianlan's aura surged, burning the essence and blood within her body, and her speed instantly climbed to its limit.

His eyes flashed with killing intent, and he unleashed his full Saint King cultivation!

"Die!"

He roared to the sky.

He transformed into a blur, streaking through the void as he charged toward Chen Yu.

Lightning fast!

however--

Despite Mu Qianlan's desperate attempt to kill him, Chen Yu remained calm.

His face showed no emotion whatsoever.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

next second.

A group of ninjas appeared from the ground.

They surrounded Chen Yu, turned around, and stared intently at Mu Qianlan with their scarlet eyes.

(PS: This scene can be referenced from the one where the Shadow Legion appears in the alley to protect Jade.)

"die!!"

Mu Qianlan roared and slammed down with his palm.

The terrifying power of a mid-stage Saint King erupted, stirring up a powerful storm in the void.

Upon seeing this.

The crimson in the ninjas' eyes intensified, and then they unleashed a punch.

boom--

The fist's energy sliced ​​through the air and collided fiercely with Mu Qianlan's attack.

In an instant!

A deafening explosion ripped it apart.

The violent aftershocks spread outwards as if they were tangible, forming a visible shockwave that utterly destroyed everything in its path.

"Pfft!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Mu Qianlan was blasted away, leaving a long trail of blood in the air.

"What...what the hell are these things?"

His face was deathly pale, and a deep look of horror appeared in his eyes.

Despite possessing only the strength of a peak sage, he unleashed terrifying combat power far exceeding his own level.

It's as if...

Within them lies a boundless source of power.

The thought had just flashed through his mind.

The next moment, he found that the environment around him was spinning rapidly, and a sharp pain suddenly came from his neck.

and many more!

That is... my body?

Mu Qianlan's pupils constricted, and with a "glug," her head rolled directly onto the ground.

Blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the ground crimson.

Saint King in his mid-stage, he fell!

"continue!"

Chen Yu's gaze swept over them.

After receiving his orders, the Shadow Legion once again charged towards the people of Lingxu Cave.

Let's start cleaning up the mess!

As time went on.

A strong, pungent smell of blood gradually permeated the entire mountain range.

Corpses littered the ground, a scene resembling a living hell!

Since then.

The top power in the Eastern Wilderness, which had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, Lingxu Cave Heaven, was destroyed!

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host, for defeating a mid-stage Saint King. Your Fate Points have increased by 1574.]

[Congratulations, host, for slaying an early-stage Saint King. Your Fate Points have increased by 1422.]

[Congratulations, host, for slaying a late-stage Sage! Your Fate Points have increased by 1295.]

[Congratulations, host....]

【…】

The system notification sound kept ringing.

but.

He wasn't paying attention to any of that; instead, he looked at the ground around him.

"Buzzing~!"

A hellish furnace coalesced within his body.

A terrifying devouring force spread wildly from Chen Yu as the center.

In an instant!

The life essence within everyone in Lingxu Cave Heaven seemed to be drawn towards him by some invisible force. Then, it was devoured and refined by the Hell Furnace!

Ultimately, it benefits him as well.

boom--

A stream of pure life essence, like a tide, continuously flowed into his body.

Simultaneously.

The Azure Emperor's life essence, which he had not yet fully refined, was also activated at this moment, and together with this life source, it frantically created giant elephant particles.

"Moo—"

The phantom images of giant elephants emerged from the particles, covering his skin and forming dense dots of light.

They were surrounded by a dazzling light, seemingly eternal, and exuded an aura that made one's heart tremble.

Just one breath.

Chen Yu's aura suddenly surged, as if he had broken through some kind of shackle and reached a completely new realm!

Early stage of Half-Saint!
