Chapter 869: Heavenly Heart Sect Spirit Vein
Tian Xin Dao Ren's body collapsed, and the items on him naturally fell into Chen Chuyang's hands.
There was a lot of Tian Xin Dao Ren's stuff, all of which became Chen Chuyang's; the entire Heavenly Heart Sect's reserves were on Tian Xin Dao Ren, and this round really fattened Chen Chuyang.
It wasn't time to inspect the loot yet; just in case, Chen Chuyang again vibrated the Hunyuan Bell, bombarding the entire space for a quarter of an hour.
All dangers must be eradicated; no possibility can be left unchecked.
Tian Xin Dao Ren and Xin Wuhen Elder are both old Yin Bi; they aren't so easy to kill and may feign death to slip away, so that possibility can't be ruled out. After the Hunyuan Bell's bombardment, Chen Chuyang opened his palm, a mass of lightning rose to the sky, and then the bombing began.
No inch was spared; after the thunder tribulation bombardment, the entire Hunyuan Bell's space reeked of thunder tribulation. Chen Chuyang rechecked every corner of the space, and after several confirmations, found no other aura.
"Now, it should be completely eradicated."
Before departing, Chen Chuyang checked again, and simultaneously refined the collapsed body of Tian Xin Dao Ren into a pill; although much flesh and power dissipated, the pill's energy and effect remained very strong.
Holding the pill, Chen Chuyang put away the Hunyuan Bell, which returned to his dantian for nourishment, while his figure hovered above the Heavenly Heart Sect, looking down on the world; wherever his gaze fell, everyone bowed their heads, daring not to meet his eyes.
In this moment, he was the emperor of the world, controlling everything.
After scanning the surroundings and confirming no aura of Heavenly Heart Sect members, Chen Chuyang finally nodded with satisfaction and slowly descended to the ground.
Heishanyang immediately stepped forward, crowded beside Chen Chuyang, and said, "Kid, hurry up and give it to me; I smell the pill's scent."
Drooling, Heishanyang could barely wait to rush forward and devour the pill in Chen Chuyang's palm.
Its eyes fixed on Chen Chuyang's hand, salivating three feet.
Tianlian Zhenren followed, his gaze complex and tinged with sorrow.
Staring at Chen Chuyang's palm, seeing the pill, she glanced at it, found it somewhat familiar, was momentarily bewildered, and the next moment the pill entered Heishanyang's mouth, causing a tremor in Tianlian Zhenren's heart.
"Is that senior brother's aura? Is that pill senior brother?"
"Did he really die?"
His entire being was refined into a pill; this technique Tianlian Zhenren had never seen before.
Watching Heishanyang swallow the pill, there was no possibility of it being spat out.
Her senior brother's soul scattered, his body dead and Dao vanished.
Tianlian Zhenren felt heavy-hearted, gazing at the charred Heavenly Heart Sect, its ruin corrupted by demonic qi, with no chance of restoration; the former Heavenly Heart Sect had become the past.
"Senior brother."
"Members of the Heavenly Heart Sect."
She lowered her head, crouched, and touched the ground.
The ground of the Heavenly Heart Sect buried its disciples; countless disciples' blood stained the soil red.
That spirit vein of the Heavenly Heart Sect was also polluted by demonic qi.
Chen Chuyang nodded at White Deer King and the others, then led Heishanyang to where the Heavenly Heart Sect's spirit vein lay; it was his loot, prearranged, and he certainly wouldn't let it go.
He had been eyeing this spirit vein for a long time, and finally got to see it.
Heishanyang and Chen Chuyang vanished from the spot together, leaving Tianlian Zhenren alone, stunned.
White Deer King and the others stood up, stared at the barren Heavenly Heart Sect, and showed joyful expressions.
Turning back, he exclaimed excitedly, "Fellow Daoists, the Heavenly Heart Sect has been annihilated; we have succeeded."
"From now on, no one can stand in our way."
"This world no longer has to live in darkness."
Yin Gui Zhenren ignored White Deer King's chatter and instead fixed his gaze on the lingering aura of the Heavenly Heart Sect.
Too many have died; the once pristine cultivation sanctuary was about to become a dead zone.
Resentful qi, death qi, and various other auras mingled; Yin Gui Zhenren walked forward, settled on the Heavenly Heart Sect's summit, and sat cross-legged to cultivate.
Various auras entered his body, automatically filtering out some.
Yin Gui Zhenren was seeking ways to advance his cultivation; Xinran Zhanglao and the others could only envy, without any intention to act.
Those auras were not absorbable by them; on the contrary, they were poison—inhale a bit and one would die.
"Who would have thought he'd end up cheapened in the end," Xinran Zhanglao sighed.
Her gaze fixed on the depths of the Heavenly Heart Sect; she knew exactly what Chen Chuyang intended—he wanted the spirit vein, but that vein, polluted by demonic qi, might no longer be usable.
Tian Xin Dao Ren's Formation was based on the spirit vein, absorbing everyone's essence and the vein's energy to forcibly boost himself.
This step was splendid, but unfortunately, he ran into Chen Chuyang, that monster.
A millennium of scheming, gone in a single dawn.
"Tian Xin Dao Ren plotted for ten million, and in the end met a fate of death and Dao disappearance."
"The Heavenly Heart Sect perished alongside him; truly fitting for Tian Xin Dao Ren— even in death, the sect must be his burial."
Xinran Zhanglao sighed; seeing this, she realized her senior brother Lingjian Zhenren still retained some reason, and had never contemplated destroying the Spirit Sword Sect nor killing them.
Jing Yuheng waved his hand, ordering the Black Dragon Guard to encircle the Heavenly Heart Sect, ensuring no remnants remained.
At the same time, they would sweep the Heavenly Heart Sect's grounds, making sure its treasures weren't destroyed, salvaging whatever could be found.
On the Monster Race side, as well as the Yin Gui Sect and Spirit Sword Sect, they would act as previously agreed; the division had long been settled.
Beyond all its treasures, the Heavenly Heart Sect possessed many resources; its foundation was so vast it could feed them for a while.
Everything proceeded, with numerous forces carving up the Heavenly Heart Sect.
Deep underground.
Chen Chuyang and Heishanyang arrived at the spirit vein's location, and saw the vein on the brink of withering, already tainted by demonic qi.
It no longer emitted spiritual qi, but pitch‑black demonic qi.
Those demonic qi, if inhaled even a bit, would drive one into demonic possession.
"Kid, this spirit vein has been destroyed; Tian Xin Dao Ren truly is ruthless— a fine spirit vein, and he could bear to ruin it."
"He never intended to spare the Heavenly Heart Sect; even if anyone survived, the sect would still decline."
"I have to admit, Tian Xin Dao Ren is truly ruthless; I respect him."
Spirit veins, extremely scarce, Tian Xin Dao Ren destroyed this spirit vein — isn't it just to completely sever the foundation of the Heavenly Heart Sect? As for him, after succeeding and leaving this world, what happens to the Heavenly Heart Sect is none of his concern.
Chen Chuyang nodded in agreement: "Yeah, that's ruthless. I never even thought about the Heavenly Heart Sect; perhaps only someone like that can go further."
Compared to others, Tian Xin Dao Ren is the most heartless person Chen Chuyang has ever seen; perhaps that's just how cultivators are.
Those who do not act for themselves will face heavenly punishment and earthly destruction.
