Chapter 867: Just a Clone, Killing It Is All

"What is this demonic aura?"

White Deer King lifted his head, staring at the Hunyuan Bell; that Hunyuan Bell had not yet returned, and the terrifying demonic aura that had just erupted from inside the Hunyuan Bell made his heart race.

The Yin Gui Zhenren beside him also sensed it, all of them fixing their gaze on the sky.

Elder Xinran Zhanglao worried, "Could it be that Tian Xin Dao Ren is still alive? No, his aura has completely dissipated. Then what was that demonic qi fluctuation just now?"

Jing Yuheng stared intently, saying nothing, a foreboding feeling bubbling inside her; she always felt the matter wasn't that simple.

Tian Xin Dao Ren would not die easily; that person has countless follow‑up moves.

"Chen Chuyang, you must be careful, don't get... schemed against."

Not far away.

Zhuge Ruolan felt uneasy inside, whispering, "I always feel something's off; could something have happened inside?"

Chen Chuyang had long entered the interior of the Hunyuan Bell, indicating the matter wasn't that simple; it had come to the point where he needed to go in personally to resolve the issue.

Li Shenghong squinted, soothing, "Holy Maiden Princess, there's no need to worry about Lord Chen Chuyang; he's very strong, no one can match him, even if a Tianwai Strong One descends, they cannot trouble Chen Chuyang."

"We just wait calmly; Chen Chuyang hasn't asked us to act, we must not expose ourselves."

"Hmm." Zhuge Ruolan nodded. The Heavenly Heart Sect had been annihilated, with far too many Strong Ones dead and wounded; she didn't know how many in the Condensed Core realm had died. She could seize the chance to collect those dead people's resentful qi and yin qi, which were all valuable.

What a pity, those people's souls had been absorbed by the Heavenly Heart Sacrifice Grand Formation, making it impossible... for her to obtain them.

Otherwise, she could devour those people and swiftly boost her cultivation.

A few people far away were injured, also very dangerous; no one dared to approach.

Moreover, Heishanyang had just glanced this way; Zhuge Ruolan knew her movements had been seen by Heishanyang, making her even less daring to act recklessly.

Li Shenghong squinted; from start to finish, he kept his eyes fixed above.

"Tian Xin Dao Ren is not that easy to deal with; even if this person dies, he'll leave a heap of messes."

"The only fear is that before his death he summons a Tianwai Strong One to descend; if so, that would be trouble."

Li Shenghong was fully aware that, according to Tian Xin Dao Ren's nature, he would definitely do that.

It's very possible that that Tianwai Strong One resides within his body; the demonic qi fluctuation just now was that being awakening, taking control of Tian Xin Dao Ren's body.

"Chen Chuyang, you must be careful; the Heavenly Heart Sect is not only present in this world— the Tianwai Heavenly Heart Sect is no simple matter."

"The Heavenly Heart Sect of this world is merely a branch of the Tianwai Heavenly Heart Sect; any Strong One could annihilate this world."

Tianwai is truly the realm of Strong Ones.

The weak, in that world, have no dignity in living.

The Mu Long family is powerful; the Heavenly Heart Sect is just as strong as the Mu Long family.

The Heavenly Heart Sect's dominance in this world is not without reason.

Great Qi Dynasty Wanggong.

Qi Ruohua stood in one spot for a very long time, maintaining a single posture.

People kept coming to report on the Heavenly Heart Sect's situation; she stared into the distance, murmuring, "Tian Xin Dao Ren is dead; the matter does not end that easily."

"A Tianwai Strong One has descended; this time, we don't know who has arrived?"

"Husband, you must be careful, don't fall into a trap."

Qi Ruohua was somewhat worried; in that battle she could not intervene.

She could only rely on Chen Chuyang.

Victory is right before their eyes; after the Heavenly Heart Sect's annihilation will be their rise, and then this world will belong to them.

When that time comes, she... will be able to take that step.

"Husband."

She whispered softly, silently watching.

On Longshe Shan.

Shang Hongxue gazed into the distance; that direction was the direction of the Heavenly Heart Sect.

"I wonder how Brother Chuyang is doing?"

"Has he encountered any danger?"

She didn't know why, but felt a bit uneasy inside.

Inside the Hunyuan Bell.

Chen Chuyang sized up the man before him; very different— his aura, even his breath, was completely unlike.

Compared to Tian Xin Dao Ren, he was many times stronger; that plain gaze made people... fearful.

Likewise, he was also staring at Chen Chuyang.

The two gazed at each other, neither speaking.

After staring like that for a moment, he slowly spoke, "You're quite impressive, managing to kill Tian Xin Dao Ren."

"I, the Elder, still thought I wouldn't need to act, thought I had no chance to appear; you truly are impressive."

"In this world, there are talents like you; remarkable."

Clapped, smiling.

"Clap clap."

He was very relaxed, not at all affected by the Hunyuan Bell's suction.

A body of demonic qi returned to his form.

There were no demonic qi traces around him; his cultivation steadily stabilized, without the abrupt feeling of a breakthrough.

"I never imagined that within Tian Xin Dao Ren's body there was a Strong One like you; since you hold Tian Xin Dao Ren in such high regard, why didn't you act just now?"

He heard that and burst into laughter, "Hahaha, kid, you have good eyes; indeed, previously I, the Elder, was powerless, having been schemed by Tian Xin Dao Ren, which led me into a slumber. As long as he doesn't die, I, the Elder, cannot emerge."

"Actually, I, the Elder, should thank you; you are the one who made me emerge."

"To thank you, this Elder has decided to forge you into this Elder's demonic aura puppet."

Extending his hand, he attacked Chen Chuyang directly.

Chen Chuyang was unmoved; his figure came within sight, and only then did Chen Chuyang slowly raise his hand.

Lightning flickered between them, and that single finger was covered with lightning.

"Heaven Tribulation Thunder Finger."

"Punish Evil, Slash Demon."

"Boom—"

The attacks clashed; demonic aura and lightning, the two's divine skills collided.

In an instant, the demonic aura dissipated, and that figure was flung backward.

"Bang."

His demonic aura vanished, he gushed blood, and lay on the ground.

Blinking, Elder Xin Wuhen blinked, a bit startled as he stared at his own hand, entwined with lightning; the lightning power rushed into his body, and Elder Xin Wuhen, rather than getting angry, grew even more excited.

"Hahaha."

"The power of the thunder tribulation—didn't expect you, kid, could wield the thunder tribulation's power. No wonder Tian Xin Dao Ren was killed by you; so you have mastered the thunder tribulation, such a great killing weapon."

"But, kid, did you think this Elder would fear a mere thunder tribulation?"

Elder Xin Wuhen stood up, shaking his body, and the lightning was expelled from his body.

A body of demonic aura erupted again; the True Fate Fivefold Heaven cultivation and the sky‑filled demonic aura were… awe‑inspiring.

Chen Chuyang watched the demonic aura with interest, raised his hand, and the Hunyuan Bell's suction activated.

The demonic aura was swallowed.

Elder Xin Wuhen was stunned; his demonic aura was gone.

It was swallowed.

He looked up, staring at the black hole above and the boundless pressure surrounding it.

"A top‑grade Spiritual Artifact—how can there be a top‑grade Spiritual Artifact here?"

"Where did you, kid, actually obtain this top‑grade Spiritual Artifact?"

While speaking, greed flashed in Elder Xin Wuhen's eyes.

He set his sights on this Hunyuan Bell, instantly recognizing its extraordinary nature.

This Spiritual Artifact is powerful, exactly what he needs.
