Chapter 543: No Bones Left, The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

To what extent can a wisp of a cultivator's remnant soul interfere with reality?

Those at Qi Refining are ignorant and foolish; even if they linger in the world, they only disturb people's dreams.

True cultivators at Foundation Establishment might, in a state of unclear consciousness, preserve the instinct to seek the Dao, accumulate yin energy, and transform into ghost generals.

Only those at Jin Dan, because of the existence of spiritual sense, even if it is just a wisp of remnant soul, have the opportunity to return to the Great Dao and walk the path of ghost cultivation.

However, even so, the so-called ghost kings transformed from Jin Dan cultivators require a long time to return to the right path without a unique environment.

In contrast, Nascent Soul cultivators, known as "True Persons," are vastly different.

Even if their five qi in the chest and three flowers on the head are scattered by others, and their Nascent Soul is defeated, the remaining wisp of remnant soul still possesses the essence of a Nascent Soul.

With the help of this wisp of remnant soul, a Nascent Soul cultivator can interfere with reality and perform various powerful means.

Although not comparable to when they were alive, compared to ordinary Jin Dan cultivators, they still have an overwhelming advantage.

At this moment!

With Han Zhan's help, Luo Chen's Water Mirror Technique stabilized instantly.

Even if the demon energy on the battlefield was soaring and the spiritual power was chaotic, that Water Mirror Technique still displayed the scene within a seven-hundred-mile radius on Xuanyan Island.

The image was very small and difficult to see with the naked eye.

However, this technique was personally cast by Luo Chen, with his spiritual sense embedded in it, carefully selecting some battlefields he was concerned about.

Soon, the battles between Tier 3 demon kings in various places began to enlarge.

"The Ring-Necked Turtle clan truly has a deep foundation. After years of fighting, there are still no less than thirty Tier 3 existences in the base camp."

Luo Chen's gaze was surprised, and there was a slight shock in his heart.

As expected of a turtle clan known for longevity, after years of accumulation, they still had a terrifying foundation.

This kind of strength, even if placed in the human cultivation world, would definitely be the top Jin Dan great sect force.

It could even be said that some Nascent Soul forces that had just entered the upper sect level, after excluding the newly promoted Nascent Soul True Persons, might not be comparable to the Ring-Necked Turtle clan.

For example, the Luoyun Sect.

At its peak, the number of Jin Dan cultivators was only a dozen or so.

Being able to produce a Nascent Soul True Person like Han Zhan was the accumulation of countless generations of predecessors.

I don't know what the situation of the Luoyun Sect is now after "Han Zhan's fall"?

Shaking his head, Luo Chen cast aside these thoughts, and his gaze focused on those images.

His prey was among them!

Under his attention, he soon had a rough judgment of the strength of both sides.

Overall, the demon crab side occupied an absolute advantage!

Even if the Ring-Necked Turtle clan had a deep foundation, the number of high-level powerhouses of the five royal demon crab clans presented an overwhelming advantage.

At this moment on the battlefield, the five patriarchs had not yet made a move, and the remaining clan powerhouses alone were suppressing the Tier 3 demon kings of the Ring-Necked Turtles.

And most of them were fighting with more against fewer!

Not only that, in the picture, the number of late-stage Tier 3 great demon kings among the five royal demon crab clans also somewhat exceeded Luo Chen's expectations.

The Tyrant Crab clan had four great demon kings, and the Red Rock Crab and Demon Spider Crab clans each had three great demon kings.

The Nine-Clawed Poison King Crab and Green Emperor Crab clans were much weaker, with only two in total. If the patriarchs who were not moving were deducted, each could only move freely with one person.

But even so, the number of great demon kings in this Xuanyan sea area still surprised Luo Chen.

If a clan were replaced by a Jin Dan great sect force, the distribution of powerhouses within it was truly somewhat crushing to human cultivators.

Taking the Yuding Domain as an example, the Ice Fortress had nine Jin Dans, and there was only one great cultivator, True Person Fairy Canglong.

The Luoyun Sect only had True Person Cheng Yan, and the Mount Ailao Mountain and Hundred Flower Palace simply didn't have any.

The Qingdan Valley, which had the largest number of Jin Dan cultivators, if calculated carefully, only had the Supreme Elder Qingdanzi and the Peak Master of the Dragon Head Peak where the Battle Hall was located as late-stage Jin Dan great cultivators.

"No wonder there used to be a demon path holy land like the Yuanmo Sect that believed in the law of the jungle, and this North Sea cultivation world was still called the Demon Sea, where demons and demons lived together."

"Now it seems that the demon clan in a mere Xuanyan sea area is so hidden."

"Placed in the vast North Sea, in countless sea areas, I don't know how many peerless great demons are hidden. How could cultivators conquer all territories? Especially now that the Yuanmo Sect has been destroyed, once the demon clan frees up their hands, under the counterattack, I am afraid that this cultivation world will be engulfed in war again."

While sighing, Luo Chen was also seriously looking for suitable prey.

Because the demon crab side was suppressing the Ring-Necked Turtles, although the overall situation was turbulent and chaotic, it looked orderly in the chaos.

In this case, it was not suitable for Luo Chen to make a move.

However, Luo Chen didn't give up.

"In the face of life and death, no one is willing to sit and wait for death, at least they want to perish together."

Over the years, Luo Chen had participated in many great battles.

He knew very well how crazy the enemy would be when on the verge of desperation.

Especially, this was a "racial war"!

Time passed slowly, and in just a stick of incense, Tier 3 demon kings of the Ring-Necked Turtle clan began to fall.

But Luo Chen still remained unmoved.

He was waiting for a signal!

Suddenly!

Luo Chen's spiritual sense landed on a mirror surface, the image began to enlarge continuously, and the demon energy fluctuation within it became more surging, even having a tendency to self-destruct.

In the picture.

Under the siege of three great demon kings, a Ring-Necked Turtle as big as a palace suddenly had blood-red eyes.

The majestic demon energy was swallowed into the body.

The huge body began to expand continuously.

The next moment.

Boom!

Blood light spread like waves, and the violent explosion shook Xuanyan Island.

The three great demon kings participating in the siege retreated repeatedly amidst screams.

Seeing such a scene, anyone knew what had happened.

A Tier 3 demon king, not hesitating to self-destruct, wanted to take the enemy to hell together.

In the swamp, Luo Chen, while sighing at the determination of this demon king, used his magic power to stabilize the trembling of the Water Mirror Technique.

The signal had come!

"Senior Han, next, I will trouble you to watch this water mirror, and at the same time notify me of the action via spiritual sense sound transmission."

Luo Chen wiped the mirror surface with one hand, keeping the terrain of the nearby battlefield firmly in mind.

In the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, a three-inch figure floated out, revealing the illusory appearance of an old man.

It was Han Zhan!

What Luo Chen was going to do next was to personally wander on the battlefield and hunt demon kings. At the same time, let Han Zhan monitor this battlefield and notify him of the corresponding situation at any time.

Only with such internal and external cooperation could it be convenient for him to perform this act of pulling chestnuts from the fire!

Han Zhan looked at Luo Chen helplessly, "Go, I will notify you if there is anything."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, drilled into the Tier 2 demon crab puppet, drove this puppet, and quietly escaped from the swamp.

The signal was there, and the followers were endless.

In order to protect their homeland, in order to survive, the high-level powerhouses of the Ring-Necked Turtles, who had nowhere to retreat, no longer had any reservations.

When a Tier 3 early-stage Ring-Necked Turtle demon king was seriously injured under the siege of two great enemies and had no chance of turning the tables, he chose to perish with the enemy.

"Let's go to hell together!"

With a roar, the demon core in his body retracted and released, and the demon power accumulated in his life exploded!

The majestic power of self-destruction instantly swept across a hundred-mile range.

The low-level demon beasts covered within it, whether they were the five royal demon crab clans or their own Ring-Necked Turtles, had no possibility of survival.

And the two great Green Emperor Crab demon kings at the center of the battle, even though they had retreated as crazily as possible, were still swept into the impact of the huge demon energy of self-destruction.

No nonsense.

The two great demon kings simultaneously used their means, one turned its shell over as a shield, and the other exhaled to form a bubble to cover itself.

Endless air waves rolled and surged.

Blood mist and smoke filled the air, making this battlefield as tragic as a human hell.

In the hazy mist, a Tier 3 Green Emperor Crab rolled on the ground.

The bubble shattered, broke and was born, born and shattered.

She kept exhaling bubbles, maintaining the external defense.

Seeing that she had survived the biggest wave of the self-destruction impact, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.

"These guys, I don't know why they are so determined, isn't it good to surrender and be a slave?"

"In the early years, weren't our demon crab clans also vassals of the Ring-Necked Turtle clan."

"It's good that they are dead, I don't know how the fifth brother is doing, I just hope he stays alive."

Just as her thoughts surged in her heart, the bubble in front of her shattered again.

She didn't think, the demon power in her body surged, opened her mouth and exhaled, about to exhale a defensive bubble again.

But an accident occurred!

A hand, with five fingers curled like claws, reached into the bubble that had not yet formed.

With a fierce claw, it grabbed into her soft abdomen.

When it was taken out, a blue Jin Dan was clearly in sight.

The incident happened suddenly, and this demon hadn't reacted yet.

But that demon core, she would definitely not recognize it wrongly.

That was the essence of her hundreds of years of hard cultivation!

Within her line of sight, a figure appeared, and she was about to open her mouth to call for help. But when she faced that person's eyes, she only felt a trance in her heart.

The bright moon in the sea was upside down, and the flowers in her heart bloomed and withered.

When she came to her senses, she was already separated from her head, and the demon core was locked.

With one move, Luo Chen blinked, waved his large sleeve, and the huge demon crab corpse disappeared instantly.

And he himself drilled into the ground, entered the sturdy Hunyuan Cauldron, and fully activated the Concealment Array to cover his aura.

The Hunyuan Cauldron, a top-grade magic treasure, but the material was incomparably hard.

In the words of Tian Tian Yezi and Han Zhan, it was an existence that could be considered a semi-true artifact once tempered.

Although this treasure had no defensive power, relying on its own material, it was enough to serve as a defensive magic treasure.

With this, Luo Chen could withstand the self-destruction of a demon king!

Outside, the aftermath of the self-destruction gradually dissipated.

A figure soared into the sky, its aura extremely withered.

Flying into mid-air, he shouted loudly, but there was no response.

He turned around again and again, scanning the sky and the ground, but found nothing.

Finally, he left the battlefield powerlessly.

For the development of the clan, some sacrifices were inevitable, but when such a thing happened to his little sister, he still found it difficult to accept.

Inside the Hunyuan Cauldron.

Luo Chen sensed the situation outside, and after the heavily injured demon king left, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I didn't expect these two Green Emperor Crab demon kings to be quite capable, being able to survive at the same time under the self-destruction of an enemy of the same rank.

Luo Chen had expected the other one to survive.

After all, that guy didn't look weak.

But the one he hunted, actually could too.

Recalling the bubbles the other party exhaled at the time, this kind of defensive demon technique was truly unique.

It's a pity that because of his sneak attack, it eventually fell.

The Cloud-Exploring God Claw, and the illusion Mirror Flower Water Moon erupted simultaneously, let alone a Tier 3 early-stage demon king in danger under self-destruction, even a Tier 3 late-stage great demon king in perfect condition, Luo Chen could fight.

Falling was in reason.

"The first one!"

Luo Chen muttered in his mouth.

Suddenly, his expression shifted, and a sound transmission was reflected in his mind.

"Fifty miles to the southeast?"

"Very close!"

Because of the power of self-destruction, the huge concave pit was filled with rolling mud.

A demon crab drilled out from underground.

It identified the direction, stepped out with eight legs, and ran quickly.

If it were normal times, such an action would inevitably attract attention.

But on this battlefield now, this speed was not so conspicuous.

Soon, this demon crab came to a new battlefield.

After avoiding several battle groups, Luo Chen shrank behind a giant rock and looked up at the sky.

There, four demon kings were fighting.

In a three-on-one situation, the balance of victory had begun to tilt continuously.

"In the sky?"

"This time, it's a bit tricky."

Sun rises and moon sets, stars change.

The great decisive battle on Xuanyan Island, following the layer-by-layer advancement of the demon crab side, formed a momentum of breaking through bamboo.

Winning this battle was just around the corner.

However, the advancement was so smooth, the five royal demon crab clans paid a huge price!

On the sea, five-colored clams floated in it.

The five patriarchs looked forward to it.

Demon crabs went in and out, reporting the situation on the battlefield.

"Patriarch, the Ring-Necked Turtles have gone crazy."

"Facing the call to surrender, they swear not to follow. Even, they began to have large-scale self-destruction behaviors, causing us huge casualties."

"Although there is no careful counting, the number of casualties..."

Listening to the report from below, the five patriarchs all looked solemn.

Jin Hun, who was at the head, tried his best to remain calm under the solemn expression.

"It doesn't matter, these are all within expectations, if the situation were swapped, I'm afraid we would be about the same. Continue to advance, must hit the center of the island. Qihuan and Hailuo haven't made a move yet."

Qihuan, Hailuo, the two top powerhouses of the Ring-Necked Turtle clan.

They had practiced for a very long time, and their strength was powerful, even above any one of them five.

This was why the five patriarchs, as the top combat power, were slow to go to the island.

After the people below heard this order, they hurriedly agreed.

However, before leaving, he hesitated and said: "Report to the patriarch, Lord Jin Jia found something wrong."

"What's wrong?" Jin Hun was puzzled.

"The casualties of our Tier 3 clansmen are somewhat beyond expectations. Not only that, after dying in battle, the corpses cannot be found. This strange situation has happened more than once."

Facing this problem, Jin Hun's eyes turned, and a look of suspicion appeared on his face.

Can't find the corpses again?

His gaze fell on the other four patriarchs.

"What about you?"

"Same here!"

The other four demons gave the answer.

If it were one or two, it would be fine, but in the past year, nearly ten Tier 3 demon crab kings had no bones left.

In such a strange situation, how could they, the leaders, not care.

Zhu Xiang of the Demon Spider Crab clan suddenly spoke: "Yesterday there was intelligence that a human cultivator appeared on Xuanyan Island. According to identification, it was Gu Gu Shaoshang who left before."

"He came back?"

"Returning after leaving, what is the intention?"

"I'm afraid he came back long ago." Zhu Xiang said slowly: "It's not just our side that the corpses disappeared. On the Ring-Necked Turtle side, many corpses of strong men who died in battle also disappeared."

Saying this, the strange places before and after seemed to be connected.

That Gu Gu Shaoshang returned after leaving, quietly collecting Ring-Necked Turtle corpses on the battlefield, this is very likely.

And he took the opportunity to collect some Tier 3 demon crab corpses, this behavior is also very normal in the eyes of human cultivators.

However, when it was the five royal demon crab clans' turn to encounter such things, they couldn't accept it.

Chi Yan was furious, "Humans are indeed base and cunning!"

"Is he still on the island?" Jiu Zhua also said angrily, "If he is still there, I don't mind going to find him myself!"

Zhu Xiang shook his head and shared the intelligence that Gu Gu Shaoshang had already left Xuanyan Island.

"It's good that he left, otherwise if I caught him..."

"No!"

Suddenly, Jin Hun reacted.

"Since he has already left, why is there still such a thing as corpses disappearing on the Xuanyan Island battlefield?"

Several demons looked at each other.

A guess emerged in their hearts.

Could it be that there is another mastermind behind the scenes?

Just as they were speculating, suddenly, Zhu Xiang's expression changed slightly.

Almost one after another, the other four demons also changed their expressions.

"Hailuo, finally made a move!"
