Chapter 183: The Great Sun Falls, Burning Everything (Daily ten thousand words, seeking subscriptions)

The great sun falls, destroying everything.

Boundless energy exploded in an instant.

A scroll exploded with brilliant light, wanting to unfold that azure marshland.

However, under the restriction of cyan and a touch of blood color, it ultimately could not block all the explosions.

*Boom! *

A loud noise.

The earth trembled, and a huge mushroom-like fire cloud rose.

Following that, terrifying fire waves spread out in ripples.

Wherever they passed, everything turned to ashes.

The entire night sky was illuminated.

The continuously falling cold rain was constantly evaporated by the surging fire waves.

The snow that had accumulated for a whole winter melted silently.

Extreme high temperature permeated the surroundings; some loose cultivators who were close by let out screams.

That terrifying high temperature could not even be resisted by superior-grade magic robes.

In just a few breaths, the battlefield at the foot of Mount Xiaohuan turned into a sea of fire.

*Gulp! *

Outside the mountain, it was unknown which cultivator swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Following that, earth-shattering clamor sounded.

"What kind of spell is this, actually so terrifying?"

"Is it the Blazing Sun Spell? Even if it is the Blazing Sun Spell, it shouldn't be this powerful!"

"Perhaps it's a spell improved by the Five Elements Divine Sect?"

"Who was that person under the blazing sun just now?"

"The distance is too far, can't see clearly."

Amidst the discussions, all contained a sense of fear.

This is an attack that loose cultivators cannot imagine.

Even if they had seen Foundation Establishment cultivators make a move before.

But Foundation Establishment cultivators often used magic tools to fight the enemy, emphasizing one-hit kills, with spirit energy concentrated and condensed.

Occasionally there were powerful attacks, but they were only at the level of Duan Qiankun's "Three Layers of Waves in the Vast Sea."

But!

The spell Luo Chen cast on Mount Xiaohuan just now had an attack range that was so vast.

Covering a radius of several hundred zhang.

Peerless explosive power, extremely terrifying.

In the sky, Nangong Qin carried the rolling fire waves and flew to his father's side.

After getting on that white cloud, he felt the scorching high temperature decrease a lot.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his gaze opening in terror.

"Is this Luo Chen's doing?"

Nangong Jin's throat was also a bit dry at this moment.

He pretended to be calm and said faintly, "The power of spells is known for its grandeur; it is absolutely not something ordinary magic tools can compare to."

"But... this is too terrifying!"

Nangong Qin still could not accept it.

Luo Chen was the same as him; the cultivation realm he displayed just now was also Qi Refining ninth-layer.

He asked himself, how could he possibly reach this level?

He turned his head and looked at his father.

"Since spells are so strong, why do cultivators of our generation abandon them and specialize in external objects?"

This is... shaken?

Nangong Jin pressed his shoulder with a slap, "How do you know magic tools aren't as good as spells? Powerful magic treasures can also amplify a cultivator's spirit energy, sending out attacks several times their own."

"What's more, the weaknesses of spells are known to all."

"You must not covet the power of spells and affect your own cultivation."

Nangong Qin opened his mouth, and finally sighed in vain.

Indeed!

The weaknesses of spells are truly too many.

Slow to form, slow to release, and they consume too much of the spirit energy refined by the cultivator.

Especially the latter; if one is overly obsessed with studying spells, it will greatly affect a cultivator's cultivation.

If someone wastes time releasing spells during a battle.

The enemy only needs to condense a sword to disrupt the other party's rhythm.

Lightly, it will backfire on oneself; heavily, it will expose one's weakness and be easily beheaded.

Reason after reason emerged, and Nangong Qin tried to convince himself.

"Moreover, Luo Chen's spell isn't easily released either."

Nangong Jin, in order to stabilize his son's Dao heart, explained carefully for him:

"This great battle was launched by the Luotian Society with all its strength, and it must succeed in one blow."

"You also saw that all the Luotian Society cultivators were fighting desperately, especially that Wang Yuan, who fought Duan Qiankun in a life-or-death battle, and his fate is unknown."

"In this situation, Luo Chen has not appeared the whole time. What he is doing, you should be able to guess."

In an instant, Nangong Qin felt like he had been enlightened.

Not showing himself for such a long time was naturally to prepare this spell.

From this, it can be seen that this Blazing Sun Spell is not easily released either.

If Luo Chen cast it in front of him, he feared he wouldn't be able to escape his sword either.

"He hid himself, also fearing that Duan Qiankun would behead him with one sword?"

"Correct, a child can be taught." Nangong Jin patted his son's shoulder encouragingly, "You don't need to covet the power of spells; just cultivate well, and after you advance to Foundation Establishment, you can also master... hmm?"

The encouraging words stopped, and Nangong Jin's complexion changed slightly.

He looked toward the distant night sky.

Three streams of light were coming through the stars and moon.

It was also at this time that Nangong Qin beside him whispered.

"He's out!"

In the sea of fire, a figure walked out leisurely.

Stepping on cloud boots, wearing white clothes, the slender figure was so calm.

Long hair was tied behind his head with a Daoist hairpin, his lips were pursed, and the corners of his mouth were hooked, smiling yet not smiling.

His nose bridge was high, and his eyes were deep.

A pair of intimidating eyes seemed to be able to see through the Nine Netherworlds.

He carried his hands behind his back, walking out step by step accompanied by the sky full of firelight.

Suddenly, his footsteps stopped.

Looking at the many loose cultivators of Dahe Square who had followed him from outside the mountain.

The sound of jade chimes and strings, as his lips parted, was transmitted clearly to everyone's ears.

"The Duan family of Dahe Square is removed from the name today."

"Mount Xiaohuan belongs to my Luotian Society from now on."

"Everyone, please return! Luo will not see you off."

In Dahe Square, many people had heard the name Alchemist Danchenzi and also knew his real name was Luo Chen.

But there were not many who truly recognized Luo Chen's face.

Initially famous, Luo Chen focused on alchemy.

Later, becoming the master of the Luotian Society, he mostly circled among Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Even during the battle of the Fu family, most people's attention was on the rich inheritance of the Fu family, and they did not pay too much attention to Luo Chen's appearance.

Therefore, when Luo Chen spoke at the beginning, many people did not know who he was.

But when he said the two words "Luo," everyone knew who he was.

And, everyone deeply remembered this face.

Such a brilliant strike, earth-shattering.

He, Luo Chen, is worth being remembered by everyone.

However, wanting everyone to leave was too wishful thinking.

"The Duan family is destroyed, Mount Xiaohuan is ownerless land, so how can it belong to the Luotian Society?"

"Fellow Daoists, inside Mount Xiaohuan, there are hundreds of years of savings of the Duan family, and even an Ice-Fire Spirit Spring."

"Why don't we take it together?"

The person speaking was Qi Refining ninth-layer.

A famous loose cultivator of Dahe Square—Fang Chengshan, who built a small force called Panshan Fort.

Coincidentally, the base of their small force now was in the Fu family's fortress.

It could also be considered benefiting from the light of Luo Chen's initial destruction of the Fu family.

At this moment, as he spoke, several Qi Refining late-stage cultivators of Panshan Fort also tacitly stood out.

Looking at this group of eager people, Luo Chen's mouth curled slightly.

"Are you sure?"

For some reason, Fang Chengshan felt a trace of impropriety.

But with opportunity in front, how could he retreat?

Luo Chen was also Qi Refining ninth-layer, yet he dared to lead the Luotian Society to break the mountain and attack the Duan family; how could he be intimidated by the other party with just a few words?

Sneering, Fang Chengshan approached step by step.

"Everyone, don't be afraid!"

"Although Alchemist Danchenzi is strong, releasing such a powerful attack, I fear his spirit energy is exhausted, and he is just an empty shell."

"He is just bluffing..."

Before the words fell.

Golden light appeared!

Fang Chengshan subconsciously activated his superior-grade magic robe, and a defensive light shield appeared.

However, it only appeared for an instant.

The golden light was like silk, breaking through the light shield.

In an instant, the head fell into Luo Chen's hands along with the returning golden light.

Holding the head, the sword pill whistled and circled.

Luo Chen's gaze was cold, and he drew a line with his finger.

*Hiss! *

The sword pill turned into golden silk, drawing a giant, long line outside Mount Xiaohuan.

"Those who cross this line."

"Kill! Without! Pardon!"

As he spoke, the head was thrown outside the line.

The large, wide-open eyes that could not close in death stared at everyone who was ready to move.

For a time, no one dared to take another step forward.

This Alchemist Danchenzi, where was he exhausted?

His spirit energy was surging, clearly full and vigorous, like a peak state.

The murderous aura was cold, and he had the ruthlessness to kill if there was a disagreement.

Even those few cultivators of Panshan Fort were trembling in their hearts at this moment, forgetting even the action of retrieving their leader's corpse.

Luo Chen ignored them and flew into the sky.

With a flick of his hand, a charred scroll flew slowly to Nangong Jin.

"Fortunately, I did not fail the mission."

"No, no, no, it's a happy cooperation!"

While speaking, Nangong Jin's eyes shone with brilliance, and he took the scroll cautiously.

Nangong Qin beside him swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Magic treasure—Marshland Gui Diagram!

Luo Chen moved his gaze away; this magic treasure was the condition for Nangong Jin and him to reach a cooperative alliance.

For this, both sides even made a Great Dao Oath together.

Ordinary loose cultivators might not care about the Great Dao Oath.

But Nangong Jin was not yet one hundred and fifty, exactly in his "young" time, and still had hopes for Golden Core, so he would definitely care.

Their alliance was very tight!

After taking the scroll, Nangong Jin nodded to Luo Chen.

"I have already negotiated the conditions with Elder Zhou of the Lianyun Business Alliance. As for the Dajiang Gang..."

Luo Chen also nodded, "I allow him to get involved in the Jade Marrow Pill business."

"Okay, with this promise of yours, he will stop."

"Since that's the case, I'll be going." Nangong Jin arched his hands.

"Senior, go well, I won't see you off."

Before leaving, Nangong Qin turned back and glanced at Luo Chen, still feeling it was incredible.

Luo Chen smiled and nodded to him, his gaze looking at the few escape lights parked in the distance.

After Nangong Jin passed, it didn't take long for them to disappear together.

In their cooperation, the main focus was on the aftermath.

In this aspect, Nangong Qin would be responsible for talking to those few Foundation Establishment cultivators.

And the reason Nangong Qin agreed to cooperate, besides the Nangong family being weak and urgently needing allies, was that Luo Chen also promised to provide the other party with superior-grade Jade Marrow Pills.

Yes, superior-grade Jade Marrow Pills!

The Nangong family urgently needed a large batch of pills to improve the strength of the family's cultivators.

And superior-grade Jade Marrow Pills did not have the defect of Dantian jade-ification, and their medicinal power was comparable to Nourishing Qi Pills.

Yet the price was much lower.

It was precisely because of this that he could move the other party.

"The pressure from Foundation Establishment true cultivators has finally passed."

"Besides the strength of the Luotian Society and the combat power of Wang Yuan and me, in the end, it is still benefits that move people's hearts!"

The last step was the easiest to achieve and also the most important.

However, if there were no previous paving, it would be completely impossible to do.

Because he, Luo Chen, had no qualifications to sit at that table of equal exchange.

Lowering his head, looking at those loose cultivators who were reluctant to leave.

Luo Chen smiled, smiling somewhat ferociously.

"Everyone, do you really want me to see you off?"

While speaking, he flicked his fingers continuously toward the foot of Mount Xiaohuan.

There, some people had crossed the "Stop Fighting Line" drawn by Luo Chen, trying to luckily go up the mountain.

In the night sky, screams, accompanied by bursts of explosions, suddenly sounded.

Seeing this scene, the loose cultivators who were reluctant to leave finally left unwillingly.

After they left, Liu Qiang finally caught up.

"Did not fail the mission; all the small paths into the mountain have been buried with a large number of Jade Marrow waste beads."

"Hmm, you did very well. Don't go up the mountain tonight either; just take people to guard nearby."

Luo Chen ordered.

The people he spoke of were naturally not the Luotian Society cultivators who had fought a great battle.

But the many Qi Refining early-stage and mid-stage cultivators left behind in Xieyue Valley.

Now that they had won, they would receive the signal and rush over immediately.

Liu Qiang nodded heavily, looking at Luo Chen's back as he rode the clouds up the mountain, revealing deep admiration.

The President, he really did it!

Leading the Luotian Society, he destroyed a Foundation Establishment family!

This had never happened in the history of Dahe Square!

After a great battle, the sky was gradually brightening.

That once terrifying sea of fire, although it had shrunk a lot, was still burning fiercely in the center.

Luo Chen's footsteps stopped outside; in front of him was a giant pit with a diameter of a hundred zhang and a height of more than ten meters.

The fire had not been extinguished, and the spring rain falling from the sky turned into steam, shrouding this place like a sea of fog.

Spirit light bloomed, and a pair of spirit eyes stared deep into the giant pit.

Luo Chen pursed his lips tightly, his expression somewhat uncertain.

But in the end.

He still shook his head.

He decided not to disturb Wang Yuan.

Picking up the top-grade magic tool named Heluo Sword, Luo Chen walked toward the mountainside.

The war last night, because Wang Yuan and Duan Qiankun fought too fiercely.

Therefore, the battlefield was divided into two large blocks.

One place was lower down on Mount Xiaohuan, and the other was the mountainside where the Duan family members lived all year round.

As Luo Chen advanced, figures gathered one after another.

"Are you okay?"

"Cough, cough, President, I'm okay."

"How about you?"

"Almost died, fortunately there was the Blood-Burning Pill forged by the President, allowing me to save my life."

"Zeng Wen, you are so disheveled!"

"Can I not be disheveled? The other party was fighting for their lives."

Luo Chen's words gradually became fewer.

Because the cultivators who gathered were not as many as he had imagined.

The casualties were higher than estimated!

Stopping in front of the twelve giant pillars, Luo Chen turned his head back.

Sima Hui Niang stood there respectfully, behind her were the two brothers Sima Xian and Sima Wenjie.

"Go count the casualties and take inventory of the spoils!"

"I need to see all the intelligence within three days."

Sima Hui Niang hummed, and with Murong Qinglian who had rushed over upon hearing the news, turned and left.

As for the others, under the leadership of Gu Caiyi and Granny Yuan, they found a place to heal and rest.

"President, Duan Feng is missing."

As the crowd dispersed, Feng Xia walked up anxiously.

Luo Chen shook his head at her, "No rush."

After such a long night, whether he was alive or dead was already destined.

In the plan of Luo Chen and Nangong Jin, this was originally a war with disparate forces.

There was no such thing as a subordinate attacking a superior, counter-attacking the Duan family.

But rather his Luotian Society strangling the Duan family.

With the second-tier Explosive Ape, Wang Yuan, Nangong Jin, and himself.

In terms of high-end power, they had completely suppressed Duan Qiankun.

And in terms of middle and lower-level power, the Duan family did not have any advantage either.

This point could be seen from the fact that none of the ten Luotian Society Qi Refining ninth-layer cultivators had died.

But because the Duan family cultivators occupied the geographical advantage and fought back desperately, they still caused the Luotian Society to lose many brothers.

This was also the reason why Luo Chen's mood had gradually become low before.

Feng Xia suppressed her anxiety and stood to one side.

Luo Chen looked at the cover circling in the sky; the twelve light pillars were also from this.

He didn't expect that without anyone controlling it, this top-grade magic tool, the Qiankun Cover, could still continue to function.

That's right, after all, Duan Qiankun was not dead yet.

Luo Chen opened his mouth and spat, and the sword pill flew out suddenly.

Following that, it turned into a long sword.

He leaped into the air and slashed at the Qiankun Cover with one sword.

*Clang! *

The Qiankun Cover shook violently.

At the same time, a roar came from inside.

Taking advantage of the internal and external attack, the Explosive Ape squeezed out from inside.

Luo Chen grabbed the shrinking Qiankun Cover with one hand and looked at the Explosive Ape on the ground.

"Roar!!"

The Explosive Ape kept beating its chest, making an angry roar.

"Xiao Hong, shrink!"

The Explosive Ape was very obedient, and in front of Luo Chen, its body size shrank rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it was only one and a half zhang tall.

Maintaining such a large body size was also a considerable burden for it.

Throwing over a pile of spirit fruits full of spirit energy.

Luo Chen gave it the order to guard this place.

Following that, he greeted Feng Xia to go down the mountain.

Duan Feng was carried on Feng Xia's back, and after taking many pills, he was still unconscious.

Even if that cousin Duan Rui had no combat power, his cultivation realm was Qi Refining Great Perfection, which could not be fake.

Duan Feng killed him, and he himself definitely couldn't get any benefits.

Not long after.

The three came to the mountainside.

Luo Chen did not delay, and after handing the two to Granny Yuan, who was skilled in medicine, he continued to go down alone.

No one came to disturb him.

Everyone knew that this battle, although it seemed Luo Chen didn't exert any effort in front, was actually led by him from the initiation of the war to the planning.

The final finishing work was also laid by his earth-shattering strike.

This battle was quite tragic.

Even though many Luotian Society cultivators survived, the losses were quite large.

In that situation at the time, if any loose cultivator of Dahe Square had been instigated to rush up the mountain.

Let alone keeping the spoils.

I fear the Luotian Society cultivators would have been completely wiped out.

Only Luo Chen, who had preserved his combat power, could come forward to deter everyone.

Not only that, the pressure from Foundation Establishment forces was something no one in the Luotian Society could withstand.

It was also Luo Chen who came forward personally, promising many benefits and even commitments, to achieve balance.

Walking in the mountains, with no one following, Luo Chen's complexion only then appeared slightly pale.

Releasing that Blazing Sun Spell had completely exceeded the scope of the Qi Refining stage.

Even Foundation Establishment early-stage cultivators would find it hard to cast such an attack.

It was only because he had continuously optimized the Fireball Spell to reach the extreme of Great Perfection.

Mastering the essentials of fireball delayed explosion and extreme-speed fusion, that he could barely manage it.

Even so, he was in a state of continuously releasing fireballs and continuously swallowing pills to recover Qi, condensing for a long time to create that peak strike.

If he had to do it again, he couldn't guarantee whether he could succeed.

"But even so, Duan Qiankun actually survived."

"Defensive magic treasure... what a pity..."

The Marshland Gui Diagram had already been given to Nangong Jin, so sighing was useless.

Luo Chen's footsteps stopped outside the giant pit.

Following that, he leaped!

The whole person, with a gust of wind beside him, like a goshawk pouncing on the earth, went straight into the depths of the giant pit.

As he advanced, the flames were constantly pushed aside.

Finally, he arrived outside a cave entrance sealed by crimson chains.

As he arrived, the crimson chains seemed to have sensed it and withdrew with a clatter.

He descended slowly into the cave.

Entering his sight, a blood-colored cocoon appeared glaringly in front of him.

With the Spirit Eye Spell cast, Luo Chen saw the scene inside the cocoon through the thick blood Qi.

Duan Qiankun's face was ferocious, his limbs bound by blood-colored snakes.

Opposite him, Wang Yuan sat cross-legged, and those blood-colored snakes were emitted from his body.

Not only that, a blood python was penetrating deep into Duan Qiankun's lower abdomen, probing into his Dantian.

Large amounts of spirit energy were constantly leaking out.
