Chapter 385: Familiar Aura

You... you... how could this be?!

Sixth Prince Yun Xing stared at Lin Chuan in horror.

He solved them just with a single glance?

You! You're not Lin Chuan?

Looking at the calmly expressioned Lin Chuan, Sixth Prince Yun Xing's inner defenses completely collapsed, "Who exactly are you?"

You are the Disaster Star!

You are a Demon Cultivator!!

Ye Xue! He's a Demon Cultivator, kill him quickly.

The nearly shattered Sixth Prince shouted loudly.

Ye Xue stared intently at Lin Chuan, daring not to act rashly; he could kill dozens of genius cultivators from the Cloud Kingdom with a single glance,

most likely stronger than she is.

Even with both bloodlines fully awakened, she wasn't confident.

The other members of the Spirit Clan were even more terrified, curling up into a ball.

"You could have lived peacefully, so why did you have to provoke me? I don't like killing."

Lin Chuan sighed lightly, his gaze landing on Sixth Prince Yun Xing for a moment; the prince's seven orifices began to bleed as he hammered his own head with both hands.

He ultimately died amid struggle and pain.

The other Cloud Kingdom cultivators were ashen-hearted, especially Xiao Kun, who seemed utterly mad.

"Why!"

"Why have I endured so much suffering with no one to help me! Why does Heaven play such a joke on me after I chose to submit?"

"You treacherous Heaven! You shall not die a good death!"

Xiao Kun went insane, his seven orifices bleeding, laughing maniacally.

Amid his wild laughter, his soul dissipated while his body remained kneeling, head tilted upward.

Soon, all the cultivators on the Cloud Kingdom side were eliminated.

Lin Chuan turned and looked toward the Spirit Clan.

Ye Xue stared at him with a wary expression.

"I have no ill intent," Lin Chuan said with a smile.

As if nothing had happened.

The Spirit Clan cultivators' fearful expressions deepened: you, a Cloud Kingdom cultivator, killed all your teammates and tell me you have no ill intent?

The Spirit Clan cultivators naturally didn't believe.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan had to keep his distance.

He already bore the name Disaster Star, and now even fewer would trust him.

Anyway, he came only to get familiar with Ye Xue.

Among several relationships, Ye Xue and Sangyu in a demonic state were the hardest to handle; even with the vague destiny blessing, Ye Xue's temperament would likely suppress it.

She wouldn't bother him at all.

"You all, leave."

At that moment, Ye Xue spoke, addressing the other Spirit Clan, "The upcoming conflict is not something you can intervene in."

The other Spirit Clan cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment.

Someone said, "Ye Xue, we're leaving, what will you do? This guy looks hard to deal with; the more people, the more strength."

Ye Xue replied coldly, "Who among you has passed three Daoic seals?"

The gathered Spirit Clan cultivators were speechless.

Trapped in this deep azure water region, they couldn't even break a single Daoic seal.

"If you can't even unravel four Daoic seals, it means you have no right to contest the treasure; anyone willing to die can try."

Having said that, Ye Xue walked toward the deeper waters below.

Lin Chuan also dived down.

The remaining Spirit Clan cultivators were unwilling; two followed, both being Mortal Dust Supreme Being cultivators.

Ye Xue didn't intervene further.

The deeper they dived, the greater the pressure from the deep azure sea; the two followers visibly struggled to hold on, yet they gritted their teeth and kept following.

Soon, a bronze gate appeared in everyone's sight.

The bronze gate standing on the seabed was the seal of the deep azure water region; passing this barrier might allow them to see the treasure.

The two following Spirit Clan members rejoiced wildly.

Ye Xue and Lin Chuan exchanged a glance, their expressions solemn, saying nothing.

Lin Chuan spoke first, "Shall we cooperate and open this gate together?"

"Fine."

Ye Xue agreed succinctly.

Alone, she could open the gate, but it would waste too much effort and she might be ambushed by Lin Chuan for a free catch.

The two cooperated, achieving mutual benefit.

The two following Spirit Clan members tried to speak, but as they opened their mouths, their breath was expelled and they were struck by the massive water pressure.

Puff!

One of them instantly bled from all seven orifices, his face contorted in pain, struggling continuously.

Ye Xue frowned, wanting to intervene, but at the crucial moment of the treasure contest, she could not abandon it for someone who sought their own death.

We could only watch helplessly as this Spirit Clan was squeezed by the massive water pressure into a blood mist.

Another Spirit Clan cultivator fled upward in panic, barely escaping disaster, but was gravely wounded and his foundation was damaged.

"We're the only ones left," Ye Xue said, looking at Lin Chuan. "Begin! I hope you won't resort to underhanded tricks."

"Definitely not."

Lin Chuan smiled, "To show my sincerity, I'll go first."

Soul Power gathered.

Lin Chuan stood his ground, eyes flashing; a massive fist imprint appeared on the bronze gate, opening a crack.

"So strong!"

Ye Xue's pupils narrowed; this display was even stronger than the single glance that just moments ago instantly killed a dozen Cloud Kingdom cultivators.

"I can't lose to him."

Ye Xue's competitive spirit surged instantly.

The Twin Bloodline Secret Art unfolded.

A pair of dragon horns sprouting from her head began to lengthen from their juvenile form, and Ye Xue's body started to mature gradually.

Boom!

Accompanied by a dragon's roar, the bronze gate was struck hard, widening the crack Lin Chuan had opened.

Lin Chuan followed suit, striking again with Soul Power.

The two exchanged blows.

Each hammered more than ten times, and the seal's power on the bronze gate finally vanished.

Swish!

The moment the seal disappeared, Ye Xue turned into a flash of light and rushed in, with Lin Chuan close behind.

Passing through the bronze gate meant the two had crossed four seals.

The scene shifted again.

This time it was an extremely unusual place.

It seemed as if, in the void of the Chaos Universe, both bodies floated, having completely lost control over their Physical Bodies.

"That must be… the treasure!"

Ye Xue's gaze turned toward the far end.

There, a cocoon about seven feet long hovered, oddly bearing a small grass pattern.

A dense life aura emanated from the cocoon.

It was a life aura Ye Xue had never sensed before—pure to the utmost; merely feeling it brought a refreshment beyond any worldly thing.

"I must obtain this cocoon!"

Ye Xue had a premonition that possessing the cocoon would allow her transformation; she was so eager that even a glance set her soul trembling beyond suppression.

"But can I surpass him?"

Uncertain, Ye Xue strained to look at the floating Lin Chuan beside her and found the boy's gaze off.

Naturally, Lin Chuan also sensed the cocoon's life aura.

That was why his expression turned strange.

He was too familiar with this aura; no one knew it better than he did.

"Why?"

"Why does Lü Ya always appear in such a bizarre way?"
