#1261 - Today, I will refine you

As the power of darkness swept over Lu Chen's body, he immediately felt a great familiarity with it, and soon he remembered.

Wasn't it this kind of dark power that the woman he encountered in the Chaos Sea, who had lost her mind, used?

Just as Lu Chen was wondering if that woman still retained her sanity, a huge immortal ship slowly sailed in from the distance.

The deck of the immortal ship was covered with purple curtains, but through the light purple gauze curtains, one could still see a woman sitting gracefully on the deck, playing the zither, seemingly without any sense of urgency.

It really is her!

Just as Lu Chen was about to speak, the system interface suddenly popped up.

[Name: Xuan Qingyun]

[Identity: Heavenly Maiden of the Nine Heavens Academy, Heavenly Mystery Woman of the Inner Universe of the Chaos Beast, once an Immortal Emperor of the Celestial Domain of Heavenly Evolution, she lost her mind after accidentally entering the Chaos Sea and being eroded by the power of chaos. Later, she was swallowed into the Chaos Beast's belly. She wants to stimulate the Chaos Beast through the Heavenly Demons, causing a great tribulation of the era, and then kill the Chaos Beast to seize its Beast Core.]

[Rating: 100]

[Favorability: 30]

Seeing Xuan Qingyun's personal introduction, Lu Chen was slightly stunned.

So it was her!

However, there was one thing he couldn't understand. If the Heavenly Demons were created by Xuan Qingyun, then what role did these Heavenly Demons play?

Every time the Heavenly Demons appeared, they slaughtered the cultivators inside the Chaos Beast's belly on a large scale. Other than that, they didn't seem to have caused any harm to the Chaos Beast.

For the Chaos Beast, weren't both those cultivators and the Heavenly Demons just bugs in its belly?

So neither the cultivators nor the Heavenly Demons should have any impact on the Chaos Beast. Then what was Xuan Qingyun's purpose in doing this?

Just as Lu Chen was puzzled, Xuan Qingyun's voice came from afar, "Lu Chen, long time no see!"

"This Palace thought you had already been refined by the Chaos Beast. I didn't expect that you, a mere Immortal King, could last this long."

Hearing this voice, Lu Chen chuckled and then said, "I also thought you had already fallen. I didn't expect you to still be alive, and not only alive, but also become the Chaos Beast's right-hand man."

Xuantian was the manifestation of the Chaos Beast's consciousness. Xuantian created the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, and Xuan Qingyun was the Heavenly Maiden of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. She was essentially standing on Xuantian's side.

Xuan Qingyun said indifferently, "This Palace is just waiting for an opportunity."

"And now, the opportunity has come."

Lu Chen said, "I'm really curious, what exactly are you trying to do by creating so many Heavenly Demons? I don't seem to see anything special about these Heavenly Demons?"

Xuan Qingyun said, "The Chaos Beast cannot fully control its own body. The Heavenly Demons are just a means of forcing the Chaos Beast to bring down a great tribulation."

"Every time the number of Heavenly Demons reaches a certain level, whether the Chaos Beast is willing or not, its body will produce a great tribulation."

"And when the number of Heavenly Demons expands to a certain extent, if the Chaos Beast's body does not produce a tribulation of the era, then it can only watch its body being devoured by the Heavenly Demons bit by bit."

"And if the tribulation of the era in the Chaos Beast's body is too fierce, the Chaos Beast itself will not be able to resist the damage brought to its body by the tribulation of the era."

Lu Chen immediately understood Xuan Qingyun's meaning.

This was just like the human body. The Heavenly Demons were like cancer cells created by Xuan Qingyun. The cancer cells would constantly attack the normal cells in Xuantian's body, which were the cultivators, and then continuously grow stronger.

At this time, in order to eliminate the Heavenly Demons, the Chaos Beast could only bring down the tribulation of the era, and the tribulation of the era would also kill those cultivators in its inner world.

Of course, this was only one aspect. The most important thing was that if there were too many Heavenly Demons and they were too strong, the Chaos Beast would definitely increase the intensity of the tribulation of the era in order to eliminate the Heavenly Demons. When the intensity of the era reached a certain level, it would no longer be something the Chaos Beast could control.

This was like a person being unable to control a high fever without taking medicine, and being unable to control the gastric acid secreted in their stomach from corroding the stomach wall.

Perhaps the Chaos Beast was already unable to control the green liquid emitting white smoke.

Of course, all of this was just speculation. This wasn't Earth, so what if the Chaos Beast could control its own body?

Lu Chen then raised this question, "How do you know that the Chaos Beast cannot resist the damage of the tribulation of the era to itself?"

Xuan Qingyun did not answer, but said to the void, "You should let its transformed consciousness come out and say it himself."

Just as Xuan Qingyun's voice fell, a muffled sound rang in the void, "Xuan Qingyun, I didn't expect you to be in league with him. You have truly disappointed this seat!"

As this voice rang out, a pair of huge scarlet eyes quickly appeared in the void, and Xuantian's figure appeared below those scarlet eyes.

After Xuantian appeared, he sneered and said to Xuan Qingyun, "Even if you have discovered the secret in this seat's body, so what! This seat's Soul Devouring Power will soon be able to obliterate all of you!"

"After all of you become nourishment for this seat, this seat will slowly repair the injuries brought about by the tribulation of the era."

Xuan Qingyun said, "This Palace's power is already very little. This Palace has to conserve power to avoid being unable to resist the erosion of the power of chaos after leaving the Chaos Beast's body. Could it be that you still want to fight with this Palace, who has lost her mind, for tens of thousands of years?"

Hearing Xuan Qingyun's words, Lu Chen was speechless. To be honest, he had already guessed what Xuan Qingyun wanted to do at this time.

Wasn't it just wanting to take the opportunity to obtain the Chaos Beast's Beast Core while he killed the Chaos Beast?

But then again, what is the use of this Chaos Beast's Beast Core?

Just as Lu Chen was thinking about this question, Xuantian snorted coldly and said, "Today, this seat will refine you all!"

As he spoke, Xuantian waved his hand, and the green Soul Devouring Power in the distance surged towards Xuantian like a tide. Immediately afterwards, those Soul Devouring Powers gathered around Xuantian's body, forming green giant dragons.

Immediately afterwards, Xuantian waved his hand again, and those giant dragons formed by the Soul Devouring Power went straight for Lu Chen.

Lu Chen didn't think about Xuan Qingyun's affairs anymore. He immediately took out the Shattered God Sword, and then directly mobilized the power of the source, and slashed out with one sword.

Blood Soul Slash!!!
