The vortex kept spinning, shining with white light.
Chu Xun looked serious at the moment. Whether he could get out of here depended on whether he could find the Eye of Formation. Thus, he didn't dare to neglect anything.
His divine senses enveloped the entire formation, but he failed to find the Eye of Formation.
Chu Xun was puzzled. He started to ponder why he could not find it.
"I must have missed something."
Chu Xun managed to calm down and began to search again.
A moment later, a streak of purple light shot out from the vortex and flew toward the strange-looking man.
The man was surprised, and he raised his hand to shatter the purple light.
Chu Xun glared at the man angrily. It turned out that the Eye of Formation was on this man. "What an excellent formation skill!" Chu Xun thought to himself.
"Give it to me." Chu Xun reached out his hand.
"What do y
The strange-looking man glared at Chu Xun, and his aura became furious.Chu Xun stood far away. As the strange-looking man was tied up by a chain, Chu Xun was not afraid that he would hurt him."Kid, you're going to die right there!" the strange-looking man said angrily.Chu Xun gave him a disdainful smile and glanced at him coldly. Then, he sat down cross-legged, wanting to remove the Poison of Fire inside his body.The strange-looking man looked at Chu Xun quietly and pursed his lips in disdain. He could tell what Chu Xun was going to do."Kid, with your current cultivation, it's simply impossible for you to remove the Poison of Fire."Chu Xun ignored him and began to practice the Hong Meng Scripture. The Poison of Fire had already begun eroding his soul.Inside his body, those furious elements of fire were consuming and eroding his Spiritual Body, aiming at his heart and spreading toward hi
The volcano erupted and magma flowed. There was no day or night in the land where the Subterranean Devils Clan was sealed. The sky was always misty, giving off an extremely oppressive feeling.Chu Xun was buried under rubble. When he came back to his senses, he didn't know how long had passed. He was clear-headed again and knew well about the current situation of his body, which was so fragile that it could be shattered by the slightest touch. Moreover, the Poison of Fire had eroded all of his Spiritual Body. He didn't know when he would become demonized again."Am I really going to die here?" he wondered to himself.He was unwilling to die there. During the 3,000 years when he was in the other world, he had gone through countless hardships. He was really unwilling to die in this small sealed land.He couldn't die there. His parents, Jing Hong, Little Wu, and countless people that cared about him were waiting for him to return.
The stranger never ceased the channeling of his power and Chu Xun voraciously soaked every ounce of it with his Firmament Chains assimilating them immediately while increasing Chu Xun's powers too.The stranger grinned. He was pleased with the progress. Any longer and the poison in his body would be utterly gone.Apparently, so was Chu Xun. His soul was gaining power steadily.This went on for five daysThe strange hermit looked utterly different now. His dried grassy mat of hair had regained back its black and glossy luster and his aura now more powerful and rich. Even his scrawny midriff and torso now looked as if they had inflated into larger proportions, looking more muscular and sinewy.Much had Chu Xun gained as well. His astral projection might not have ascended the Third Stage of his Divine Sense, but he reached the peak of the Second Stage with his ethereal form looking very real and corporeal."O
The radiation of the Zombies' aura churned in dark plume-like smolders rising up the air like fulminating beacons of war.At their chieftain's signal, the host of Zombies threw themselves forward."Kill them all!"Yue Fandie thundered a defiant battle cry.Jing Hong darted to the front, her white cloth lancing through every enemy she found like spears.Puff! Puff!Her blows caught two lesser Zombie Kings in the throat. With a shake of her cloth, she channeled jets of energy to destroy their heads."Blasted woman!" cried the chieftain, honing in on Jing Hong now.Meanwhile, another one-armed Eighth-grade Zombie King who had lost its arm to Yue Fandie cried, "Yue Fandie! Time for you to repay the debt you owe me!""You managed to escape that day. I'll never repeat that mistake again," growled Yue Fandie, charging to meet him in battle."You shameless monste
Everywhere in the compound of the Sanctuary, severed limbs and mangled corpses bestrewed the blood-washed flagstones.The air reeked with the nauseating stench of death and despair.But more disgusting than all this macabre grisliness was this stranger Kong Yiming.The man who ordered his men to seize Jing Hong. Did he really intend to abduct Chu Xun's woman and take her as his own?!"Filthy scums!" Yan Wushuang bellowed defiantly, "How dare you!?" He would have given anything to fight, but he could not even move an inch with the injuries he had borne.As was everyone else. No one could do anything but watch with their eyes flaring with frustration and helplessness.Unfazed, Jing Hong's beautiful face beheld the approach of the two elderly bodyguards with a steely glare."Apologies, lady!"The two men came in unison, both reaching each of her shoulders.All of a sudde
The surviving students and acolytes of the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy assembled at the main square and each of them gulping hard apprehensively, craning their necks.At the center of the square was the more-than-a-hundred-kilogram skewered carcass of a gigantic peacock on a spit over a huge bonfire.The flames sizzled and flared up excitedly with incessant cracklings at every golden drop of fat dripping down. Slowly, the roasted meat slowly took on a gold-copper burnish as its aroma wafted around the square.Chu Xun sliced a piece of meat and deposited it into his mouth. The meat tasted crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and juices burst out with every bite. The flesh of the Eighth-grade Beast Lord peacock contained much nourishment inside that could be a boon to anyone's cultivation of powers."Dig in, everyone!"At that signal, everyone mobbed the spit like a pack of ravenous wolves.Chu Xun carv
The following day.Chu Xun got up to leave alone without alerting anyone.With Yan Wushuang still injured, leaving Jing Hong here would discourage any remnants of the Zombie race from anything untoward.Midday came when Chu Xun reached Gujiang.A tense atmosphere hung about the city where even the average pedestrians looked fidgety and anxious.Chu Xun arrived at the stronghold of the Rock Sect where he first discovered people watching the entrance. He circled around and slipped in quietly through the rear.With his Divine Sense, he found Tang Rou.The stronghold once served as seat of the You Family before their destruction at Chu Xun's hand before the Rock Sect began occupying it.Inside the great hall of the stronghold, Tang Rou, Jiu You, Yan Yi and his daughter, and several other Elders all braced with grim silence.Yan Yi was pale and sickly with his injuries.
Lights blazed alive as if to herald the coming of the night.A group of ten men appeared from the darkness, each of them cloaked in dark hoods and stormed in through the main gates of the Rock Sect stronghold blatantly and arbitrarily."People of the Chu Mansion, show yourselves!"Hum! Hum!High-powered spotlights lighted up in unison, flooding the whole compound of the stronghold with illumination like the midday sun.Yan Yi, Tang Rou, Jiu You, and the others appeared."Scums of the Broken Souls Cult! You've terrorized us long enough!" bellowed Yan Yi angrily.One of the ten, a lone figure who perched on top of a roof with a full view of the courtyard regarded the Rock Sect members with contempt, "You should be grateful that we needed you to be whetstones for the men, or I would have already slaughtered you all since the very beginning.""As if you can," scoffed Hon
