Chapter 2076 (Raw 2181): Blood Moon in the Water
Before the two could react, the corpse of the previous Holy Daughter raised them and knocked them together, causing them to slam solidly into each other.
Qin Zhuolin felt like crying from the pain. Xiao Chen’s physical body was much much tougher than his.
Even if one did not intentionally bring out the acquired Divine Body, one was already as strong as an inherited Dao Tool.
After the Holy Daughter’s corpse knocked the two together, it flung them away.
The star chart above Qin Zhuolin instantly tore, and the two’s path of starlight vanished.
“Bang!”
The two crashed into a wall, opening holes there.
The cold Qi from underground immediately leaked out from the cracks in the dirt.
“Splash! Splash!”
The even scarier thing was that many of the corpses sealed in ice in the springwater soared out of the water.
The ice on their bodies slowly melted, revealing their true appearances.
Qin Zhuolin struggled out of the wall and loudly reminded Xiao Chen, “Quick, leave! These corpses have all turned into Desolate Slaves. We should leave now, before they completely recover.”
Even without Qin Zhuolin’s warning, Xiao Chen already sensed the gravity of the situation. His Vital Qi surged and shattered the surrounding walls.
Xiao Chen’s expression remained calm as he quickly scanned the place. He discovered that these people used to be Sovereign Emperors, but after turning into Desolate Slaves, they did not manage to preserve their strength, only their aura.
It looked like Qin Zhuolin was right; these Desolate Slaves had not completely recovered their strength yet.
For now, they only equaled Small Perfection Sovereign Personages, although their number was somewhat scary.
This was considered good news, at least.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The many Desolate Slaves that recovered their true forms locked their gazes on the two. Then, cold killing intent immediately pressed on the two.
The air turned viscous, feeling sticky. This greatly restricted Xiao Chen from bringing out his strength.
A regular Small Perfection Sovereign Personage would not be able to move at all. These Desolate Slaves would instantly crush such a cultivator.
Eye Technique, Candle Dragon Eyes!
Xiao Chen instantly executed the Candle Dragon Eyes.
Sparks immediately flared in Xiao Chen’s eyes. Then, a scary Candle Dragon image appeared behind him. Although the Candle Dragon revealed only its head, it already gave off a scary aura.
“Boom!”
The Candle Dragon suddenly opened its eyes, and the sparks in them blazed into candle flames.
Xiao Chen’s Ice Dao’s Great Dao Energy and Soul Energy drained continuously. A chill instantly swept out everywhere within his line of sight.
“Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!”
The Desolate Slaves that just struggled free became sealed in ice again. Even the gushing springwater below froze into a glacier.
Xiao Chen glanced around and saw Qin Zhuolin fighting with the Holy Daughter.
Qin Zhuolin appeared to be in a sorrier state than Xiao Chen.
For some reason, Qin Zhuolin seemed to be suppressed, not bringing out his full power.
“Bang!”
Xiao Chen turned into a lightning bolt and kicked, sending the Holy Daughter’s reanimated corpse flying away.
Then, he continued forward and stomped on the other party.
After Xiao Chen restrained the Holy Daughter’s reanimated corpse with his foot, he drew his Tyrant Saber and stabbed the other party’s forehead in the time it took for a spark to fly.
Cold blood leaked out from the wound. However, the blood was strangely black.
Xiao Chen bent over and pulled off the jade pendant at the Holy Daughter’s waist.
Since the two could not bring the body back, bringing the jade pendant back would at least fulfill the Heavenly Fragrance’s Holy Daughter’s request.
“You are really ruthless. To think you did not even hesitate before a world-class beauty,” Qin Zhuolin said after coming over, feeling flabbergasted.
No wonder Qin Zhuolin seemed suppressed. So, this is the reason.
He does have some unique tastes. No matter how beautiful she is, she is still dead.
“Let’s go!”
Xiao Chen pulled his saber out, releasing a spurt of blood. Then, he quickly left with Qin Zhuolin.
These Desolate Slaves were very hard to kill, and they would recover soon.
The two no longer had a choice. They could only charge forward and hope to stumble upon the path that the Heavenly Dragon took in the past.
“Roar!”
The Desolate Slave Holy Daughter that Xiao Chen killed came back to life. Then, it soared into the air and hovered there.
A mournful roar spread out, together with ice-cold Qi.
“Rumble…!”
The ground shook, and countless rocks fell from above. All sorts of unimaginable dangers appeared.
The Heavenly Dao Killing Formation operated at full power.
The entire place turned completely chaotic, the environment and terrain changing in an instant.
Countless dangers appeared. Sometimes, rocks fell from above. Sometimes, old hidden weapons emerged from the water. Sometimes, a wall suddenly protruded out of nowhere.
“Damn it! I still underestimated this Heavenly Dao Killing Formation!”
Qin Zhuolin’s hands changed continuously. He made several moves and forcibly returned the changed terrain to normal.
However, it was simply too chaotic. Soon, he vomited a mouthful of blood. A weapon that appeared out of nowhere stabbed into his chest; he paled immediately.
On the other side, Xiao Chen did not have the variety of moves that Qin Zhuolin did, so he was in a sorrier state.
The environment changed continuously. Each change brought mortal danger.
The fleeing Xiao Chen and Qin Zhuolin did not have time to speak with each other. They ended up separated.
Both of them already had more than they could handle. They could not spare any attention for the other person.
Xiao Chen stopped holding back long ago. He even brought out his Great Desolate Eon bloodline. A shocking Dragon Might covered his entire body.
He punched and shattered the rocks blocking his way.
A small-mountain-size hole appeared with saber light flying around wildly. The terrifying saber light shot five thousand kilometers through the ground.
Even though Xiao Chen opened up many holes, he did not dare to move around carelessly.
Despite his fluster, he did not lose his rationality.
Xiao Chen continued moving upstream, breaking technique with force. He even brought out his Qiongqi Beast Ghost Pennant and God Shadow Bow.
Although Xiao Chen was only a Small Perfection Sovereign Personage, when he brought out all his trump cards at this critical moment, even a Great Perfection Sovereign Personage would have to retreat before his might, not daring to clash head-on.
However, the power from his Great Desolate Eon bloodline would eventually come to an end.
As Xiao Chen’s bloodline power slowly dissipated, boundless fatigue filled his body.
“Am I going to die?”
Right now, Xiao Chen was at the end of his rope. He had already used all his trump cards. If he still did not escape the Heavenly Dao Killing Formation’s range, he would not be able to turn this hopeless situation around.
The front was pitch-black; there was no path visible.
Who knew what danger the dark hid? Even worse, no one knew much farther it was to the springwater’s source.
Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and continued forward.
Soon, he felt a little strange. The Demonic Qi Veritable Essence Energy in his Primal Core was restless.
The Demonic Qi Veritable Essence Energy turned somewhat turbulent, like when he climbed the azure mountain.
The only difference was that this was less intense; he did not instantly lose his rationality.
When something was strange, there had to be a reason.
After all this time that Xiao Chen was underground, his Demonic Qi Veritable Essence Energy turned restless only now. Something had to have changed.
Xiao Chen did not get scared. Instead, he rejoiced. Right now, he was already at the end of his rope, reaching absolute despair. He did not fear his Demonic Qi Veritable Essence Energy getting restless; he feared nothing changing.
If he exhausted his Veritable Essence Energy here, he could only wait for death and end up becoming a Desolate Slave.
A light flashed in his eyes. He could not be bothered with his restless Demonic Qi Veritable Essence Energy as he charged forward.
The strange thing was that with such a mental state—hungering for life—he suppressed the various negative emotions.
The Demonic Qi Veritable Essence Energy turned scarily turbulent, but Xiao Chen maintained his rationality.
“Whoosh!”
After a while, Xiao Chen’s eyes lit up. A piercing glare blinded him with incredible pain.
Xiao Chen carefully opened his eyes, and the situation before him made him gape in shock.
A bright, mirrorlike pool of water lay ahead. The pool was not big, but it felt incredibly vast as he stood at its side; he did not dare to breathe deeply.
The pool water was clean and transparent, like a gem, appearing as smooth as a mirror.
What was stranger was that there was a reflection of a cold, jade-like, full blood moon at the bottom of the water.
“Is this the source of the Cold Yin Spring?”
Xiao Chen wanted to ponder this. However, the Demonic Qi Veritable Essence Energy in his body grew increasingly restless. When he saw the pool of water and relaxed slightly, it surged up frantically.
The negative emotions threatened to overcome his rationality.
Before Xiao Chen could think about it, he leaped into the pool of water.
The strangest thing was that the water did not ripple at all, as if it was an illusion.
If not for an additional person appearing on the blood moon at the bottom of the water, no one would think that someone had jumped in.
