Chapter 6624 Blood Ancestor's Wrath
"Crystal cores are a type of energy crystal that can provide energy to the Great Fiend..."
Xiao Chen gave a brief introduction, mainly because he didn't know much about crystal cores either.
Not to mention him, even the most seasoned fortune teller never saw this thing for the first time in the no-man's-land.
Only by destroying the crystal core can the flesh-and-blood monster be completely annihilated!
After hearing Xiao Chen's introduction, Shan Bubai and the others' expressions changed. Energy crystals?
It might even hold the secret of a great evil being immortal and indestructible?
Every cultivator desires to transcend... but there's still a long way to go before they achieve immortality!
In truth, immortality is the ultimate goal of all cultivators, transcending life and death, transcending time, and transcending space!
So, could this crimson crystal grant them immortality?
Even the Azure Emperor found it difficult to remain calm upon considering these thoughts.
"This is it."
Seeing their expressions, Xiao Chen knew what they were thinking, so he immediately took out the crystal core fragments from his bone ring and placed them on the table.
"Those who are interested can take a piece back to study, but I must warn you that I don't know much about this thing, and I don't know what its relationship is with the Great Fiend... Perhaps, the Great Fiend can be reborn or possessed through these fragments?"
"Is this crystal core the key to killing the great beast?"
The Azure Emperor looked at the crystal core fragments on the table and asked a question.
"Ah."
Xiao Chen nodded and recounted how he killed the Flesh and Blood Beast in the No Man's Land.
There's no need to keep this a secret; telling them will boost their confidence... After all, they don't know much about the Great Calamity, and are even unfamiliar with it.
The mere fact that it is 'immortal' is enough to destroy a person's confidence... How can you fight an enemy that is immortal?
Being strong isn't enough to drive people to despair, but being immortal and indestructible is truly despair-inducing.
It was this despair that led ancient sages, including the Three Sovereigns, to devise plans across millennia!
"So, you've killed two notorious criminals?"
The Azure Emperor was also surprised and asked.
"Well, it is."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"However, the price is not small... So, if you want to deal with the Great Evil and destroy it, you have to be mentally prepared."
"If it can kill them, it's worth any price."
The Azure Emperor took a deep breath.
"Once I destroy the Holy Heaven Sect, I will head to the Mother Realm."
"We'll go too."
Zhao Jiuyang and Ding Mo looked at each other and immediately spoke.
They all knew very well that with their strength, there was little point in them going into seclusion and cultivating in the Outer Heavens.
At least in the short term, it's practically impossible to improve.
Going to the Mother Realm is different; there, secret realms constantly appear, and opportunities abound.
Even if they are somewhat suppressed over there, they are still at the top level... The most dangerous existence in the Mother Realm is Xiao Chen.
Now that they're on Xiao Chen's side, they don't have that concern anymore.
So if not now, when?
"Hehe, welcome."
Xiao Chen smiled, then looked at Shan Bubai and extended an invitation.
"Isn't the Mountain Lord going?"
"Hmm... since everyone's going, I'll go too."
Shan Bubai pretended to ponder for a moment, then said.
"Alright, after we deal with the Holy Heaven Sect this time, let's go to the Mother Realm together!"
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Everyone has been injured to some extent in today's battle. Let's heal our wounds as soon as possible, and then we'll make our move, not giving the Holy Heaven Sect too much of a chance to react."
"Since you don't yet understand its side effects, you can keep these crystal fragments for now."
The Green Emperor spoke again.
Originally, Shan Bubai wanted to take a few pieces to study, but after Xiao Chen mentioned it, and with Qingdi saying so, he didn't ask any more questions.
Even the best things can only be enjoyed if you're alive.
"...Alright, I'll keep it for now. If any of you seniors want it, just let me know."
Xiao Chen nodded and collected the crystal core fragments.
Afterwards, everyone went back to heal their wounds and prepare for the upcoming battle.
Xiao Chen wasn't idle either. He first sent a telepathic message to Feng Zhiyu and plotted something.
After plotting, he took out Huang Sanyu's communication stone and sent a message to several of his trusted subordinates.
As the vice leader of the Holy Heaven Sect, Huang Sanyu wielded great power and commanded numerous powerful subordinates.
He planned to make good use of these powerful individuals, ideally by letting them fight amongst themselves.
"Damn, it's so tiring to do things that require thinking."
It took about half an hour before Xiao Chen put down the communication stone and leaned back in his chair.
He rubbed his temples, pondering how to fool the leader of the Holy Heaven Sect.
That's right, he also wanted to fool the leader of the Holy Heaven Sect and shift all the blame for the failure here onto the Left Holy Protector!
In this way, he can temporarily confuse the leader of the Holy Heaven Sect and prevent him from becoming wary, and then... he can catch the Holy Heaven Sect off guard!
"This guy is definitely a cunning old fox. We need to think this through carefully and not let the slightest mistake slip through our fingers..."
As Xiao Chen pondered, his headache grew stronger.
……
Wanxianxu, the headquarters of the Holy Heaven Sect.
Roar!
A deafening roar echoed from a massive blood pool at the deepest part of the Myriad Immortal Ruins.
Immediately afterwards, the blood pool surged, and a mountain of flesh and blood emerged.
On this mountain of flesh and blood were hundreds of heads, all with ferocious expressions, making it look extremely terrifying.
If Xiao Chen were here, he would be very surprised, this mountain of flesh and blood is almost exactly the same as the mountain of flesh and blood in the no-man's land!
Rumble!
As the mountain of flesh and blood appeared, the blood in the pool of blood began to churn rapidly.
Even the entire blood pool trembled, as if a major earthquake had occurred.
Wow!
The blood splattered, creating a loud bang.
Swish.
A portal appeared, and an old man with white hair and a white beard walked out from it.
"My other avatar has also perished!"
Before the old man could ask any questions, the mountain of flesh and blood roared.
"what?"
Upon hearing this, the old man's expression changed slightly, and another clone of him also perished.
"Damn it!"
The mountain of flesh and blood continued to roar, its terrifying killing intent mixed with blood energy spreading outwards.
"Blood Ancestor, calm your anger."
The old man took a step back, waved his right hand, and a beam of light appeared, completely enveloping this area to prevent the blood energy from spreading and destroying the Myriad Immortal Ruins.
"How can you expect me to calm down? With this clone gone, my strength will be greatly diminished, leaving me with less than a tenth of my peak power!"
The mountain of flesh and blood roared in fury.
"Now, I must fall into slumber. How shall my clan's grand plan proceed?"
"Logically speaking, nothing should have happened."
The old man frowned. He had specifically sent the Left Saint Protector to remind Huang Sanyu to be careful.
Now that the Blood Ancestor's avatar has perished, what happened over there?
"Let me devour everyone in this small world, and then leave!"
Suddenly, all the eyes on the heads of the mountain of flesh stared at the old man and roared angrily.
"No matter who destroys my clone, I will kill them! I will make them wish they were dead!"
