Chapter 882: Bloody storm, fleeing to the Southern Frontier

The rain was pouring, and the spiritual energy was misty.

Figures of terror walked out from their hiding places, facing this vast change in heaven and earth, at a loss.

There were Qi Refining cultivators who were newborn calves not afraid of tigers, reaching out their hands and boldly touching the rainwater.

The raindrops were cool, and they melted upon touch, but vaguely, the spiritual power in their bodies surged a bit.

"It's spiritual energy!"

"This rain contains abundant spiritual energy!"

The joyful shouts washed away everyone's panic.

In an instant, many loose cultivators took out utensils to catch the rainwater.

Some knowledgeable people in small sects also discovered the strange change here, but their means were more powerful, opening the sect-protecting array to guide a large amount of rainwater inside, making their own spiritual vein foundation more solid.

Of course, the Five Elements Domain was vast, and more rainwater naturally merged into the mountains, rivers, and lakes.

Some barren lands that originally had no spiritual veins, under the nourishment of this heavy rain, gradually accumulated spiritual energy, and spiritual holes were born.

It is expected that it won't be long before a spiritual vein will naturally take shape.

For such a change in heaven and earth, each family had different reactions.

And some Core Formation cultivators clearly realized something.

How can there be a gift from heaven and earth for no reason?

These spiritual rains were clearly just the tip of the iceberg of the massive spiritual energy leaked from the fourth-grade spiritual vein that the Five Elements Divine Sect had occupied for nearly a thousand years.

Plus the previous restlessness of the origin qi of heaven and earth, and the strange scene as if the entire Five Elements Domain was shrouded in the range of destroying the world.

Many people had some bad guesses.

In anxiety, some powerhouses called friends and companions, carefully heading toward the Five Elements Divine Sect's sect gate.

Not long after.

Figures stepped into the Five Elements Divine Sect in a daze.

What came into view was heaven tilting and earth collapsing!

High mountains collapsed, rivers changed their courses, and large groups of palace buildings became broken walls.

"What kind of battle happened here?" someone asked with a groan.

They couldn't imagine what kind of battle could cause such destructive power.

Even ordinary Nascent Soul powerhouses would probably not be able to cause two or three-tenths of this destructive power, right?

But this question, no one answered him!

Because, it's not important!

What's important is the corpses without breath among those broken walls.

And the magic tools, magic treasures, and storage bags beside them!

"It's mine!"

"Clearly it was this old man who found it first!"

"Damn it, return it to me!"

A bloody storm broke out again.

As more and more cultivators in the Five Elements Domain arrived to get to the bottom of it, the battle became more intense for the sake of competing for the inheritance of the Divine Sect cultivators.

Amidst the rain curtain of the starry night, the tragic sound of slaughter covered up the sorrowful sobbing emitted by the ruins of this top-tier major sect.

When Shi Ju brought people to arrive, the scene he saw was exactly like this.

He curled his lips in disdain.

A group of flies competing for rotten meat, that's all.

With a wave of his hand, the cultivators under his command scattered instantly.

"Investigate!"

"Find out for me who did this!"

A group of powerhouses from the Shi family took orders and went deep into the Divine Sect's sect gate.

But any low-level cultivator who dared to offend them was killed without asking the reason.

Shi Ju sat in a gorgeous cloud chariot, accompanied by a beauty, but his mood was not good at all.

Although he looked down on the Eastern Wasteland cultivators, Ancestor Shenyuan was a genuine late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator and had been famous for a long time.

Such an existence even had some reputation within the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect.

Not long ago, people below told him that Ancestor Shenyuan might join the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect and become a guest elder on Heaven and Earth Peak, and he realized that this was a good thing.

If he acted as a middleman and introduced him into the Star Gate, then the Shi family would have an extra strong reinforcement!

Great Cultivators are not Chinese cabbage on the roadside, and even the Shi family only had one.

Once Ancestor Shenyuan was introduced to Heaven and Earth Peak through his Shi Ju, his right to speak on Heaven and Earth Peak in the future would also increase greatly.

Most importantly, there was one more point!

It is rumored that True Person Ancestor Shenyuan and Luo Chen are at odds!

The two sides are competing, and even have experiences of making moves in public.

The enemy of an enemy is a friend, right?

It was precisely because of this that Shi Ju was quite attentive to this matter, far exceeding the sect's important matter of conquering the Eastern Wasteland!

But the bad news came instantly.

The Five Elements Divine Sect was destroyed?

Hearing this news for the first time, Shi Ju almost couldn't believe it.

He subconsciously thought it was an invasion by the demon race, killing their way to the Five Elements Divine Sect.

But the answer was clearly not so.

Therefore, this was why he had personally driven to the Five Elements Domain today.

"It was not done by demon race powerhouses; which sect in the entire Eastern Wasteland has this strength? And which powerhouse can compete with Ancestor Shenyuan?"

"Elder Dongyang Supreme Elder? That old guy doesn't have this temper, and he has no grudges against Ancestor Shenyuan."

"Tiandu? No, he was called over by the ancestor, and he hasn't had the time recently."

"Who is it?"

For Shi Ju, the powerhouses of the Eastern Wasteland were too unfamiliar.

He had only heard of some outstanding top-tier major figures.

In such a short time, he couldn't find anyone who could have such heaven-defying ability.

Not long after, an escape light came rapidly from outside the cloud chariot.

"Young Master!"

"Have you found out? Who killed the tens of thousands of disciples of the Divine Sect, killing them like pigs and dogs without any resistance?"

The subordinate hesitated: "They don't seem to have been killed by external enemies, but died under their own sect-protecting array."

"Hmm?"

Shi Ju was startled, lifted the curtain, and walked out in big strides.

Even though the rain curtain was continuous, he stood there like a scorching sun, making people feel dazzling.

The subordinate swallowed a mouthful of saliva and hurriedly said: "In addition, we found some traces in the battlefield, which can slightly infer the origin of the enemy who invaded the Divine Sect."

"Who is it?" Shi Ju asked.

The subordinate's lips trembled, not daring to make a rash conclusion.

"Hmph!"

Shi Ju snorted coldly and went straight into the Ancestor Shenyuan Peak battlefield.

Upon arriving at this place, he

"Hmph!"

Shi Ju snorted coldly and went straight into the Divine Origin Peak battlefield.

Upon arriving at this place, he felt a sense of familiarity.

The inexplicable familiarity made him feel somewhat uncomfortable instead.

"It's the residual power of the True Meaning of Law, and it's the Origin of Fire, which is the same attribute as mine!"

As expected of a genius of the Dao Sect, in a moment, he realized some traces of the enemy who had invaded the Divine Sect.

After realizing this, the disdain in Shi Ju's heart instantly subsided.

An existence capable of understanding the True Meaning of Law, regardless of their realm, is absolutely a strong expert who cannot be underestimated, and it has nothing to do with their sect background.

Even if they are a loose cultivator, they are still a top-tier expert comparable to their Dao Sect geniuses!

Soon, under the guidance of his subordinates, he arrived in front of a huge crater.

Looking at it directly, it was just a lake filled with rainwater.

But as his spiritual sense spread, Shi Ju looked at the shape of the lake from an overall perspective, and a look of surprise and anger gradually appeared on his face.

Five-finger prints, green fire energy, powerful palm force—it almost had the intention of suppressing all living beings.

The Senior Qingyang Great Palm Print!

In this world, there is only one person capable of performing such a magic spell!

"Luo Chen!!!"

A low roar erupted from Shi Ju's throat.

With every word, golden flames erupted, burning away the rainwater in the Five-Finger Lake and revealing the bare rock layer of the earth.

The surrounding Shi family cultivators retreated one after another, not daring to touch the young master's bad temper.

"Hoo..."

With a deep breath, Shi Ju woke up from his sudden rage.

"I underestimated the feud between Divine Origin and Luo Chen; I never thought he would actually dare to appear and kill a great enemy at such a sensitive node."

"I also never thought that his strength would improve so

fast, to the point where even Great Cultivators are no match for him."

Back then, he, Shi Ju, was no match for Luo Chen.

He thought that with the support of the two major resources of the Dao Sect and his family, he had advanced to the mid-Nascent Soul stage in just a few decades, and could even briefly challenge Great Demon Emperors like Bi Zheng, having completely surpassed that enemy.

But he didn't expect Luo Chen's cultivation progress to completely exceed the imagination of the world.

The rumors were indeed not false; the legend that Luo Chen once fought three Great Demon Emperors and did not die was true!

In this way...

Amidst the rage, there was a chill down his spine!

The other party's cultivation talent was simply too heaven-defying, right?

He himself was a heaven-favored son supported by the largest power in the Mountain and Sea World and the resources of an entire family, yet he couldn't catch up to the other party's progress.

And!

"I remember that the True Meaning of Law he understood in the Mirage Dragon Cave back then was wood-attribute!"

But on this battlefield, the slight True Meaning of Law left behind was the power of the Origin of Fire, which Shi Ju was most familiar with!

In this world, how could a Nascent Soul cultivator possess two major True Meanings at once?

If he were allowed to continue growing, who should he go to for revenge for the destruction of his lightning-dao avatar back then?

"Find him for me!"

An order was issued in an almost roaring voice.

The Shi family cultivators were shaken and took the order one after another, driving various means to collect Luo Chen's aura here.

But the harvest was meager!

With Luo Chen's means, when he left, he had already cleaned up his aura.

Perhaps others could distinguish that it was his means through some battlefield traces, but wanting to track him was absolutely impossible.

The only oversight was probably the residual power of the Origin of Fire!

He had not understood this True Meaning of Law for long, and due to realm limitations, he was often in a state of being able to release it but not retract it.

Shi Ju was also an existence who understood this origin, so he could perceive him.

Seeing that his subordinates had no results in tracking, Shi Ju was furious.

"A bunch of trash!"

Afterward, he flew into the clouds, distinguished the direction slightly, and vaguely pursued toward the south.

But not long after this pursuit, he was called back by a sound transmission.

"Lead the Shi family cultivators and prepare to take the initiative to attack the Demon Race!"

Shi Ju stopped in astonishment, countless doubts surging into his heart.

This time, the Ancestor Tianyuan Dao Sect's landing in the Eastern Wasteland was to conquer this vast continent while the Mingyuan Sect was destroyed.

The Eastern Wasteland cultivation world was enough for the Ancestor Tianyuan Dao Sect to digest for the time being; the Million Great Mountains were not in the plan.

Why take the initiative to attack?

But the Old Ancestor had given the order, and he dared not disobey, so he had to turn around and return.

Facing the direction he sensed,

Shi Ju muttered to himself, making threats.

"Consider yourself lucky!"

Then he turned around and returned, his escape speed extremely fast.

However, if someone were there, they might be able to feel a sense of relief and lightness from that fast escape light.

Was the Luo Chen who could destroy a sect alone and leave calmly someone the current Shi Ju could contend with?

This question was hard for outsiders to know, but Shi Ju actually knew it in his heart long ago.

The pursuit was just a reckless act in a fit of rage, and fear that Luo Chen would further widen the gap between the two in the future.

On the way back, Shi Ju gradually calmed down.

Upon arriving at the ruins of the Five Elements Divine Sect, a subordinate approached.

"Young Master, why did you come back so quickly?"

Shi Ju glanced at him, and the Nascent Soul cultivator felt it was inappropriate and quickly shut his mouth.

Shi Ju snorted, "The Old Ancestor has ordered that we must not stay here for long; what are you dawdling for?"

Although that cultivator had the Nascent Soul realm, he had only just advanced not long ago and was previously a servant of the Shi family.

He said humbly: "I heard that the Five Elements Divine Sect's Dao methods are exquisite and can be considered unique in the Eastern Wasteland. Since I've reached the Nascent Soul realm and have the qualifications to establish my own sect, I thought about collecting some of the Divine Sect's Dao methods to prepare for establishing a family in the future."

"Pfft..."

Shi Ju sneered, not caring at all.

Exquisite Dao methods?

His Ancestor Tianyuan Dao Sect's Dao methods are the best in the world, so why care about the inheritance of these small sects.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something.

That Luo Chen also didn't seem to have any powerful background, and his Dao method inheritance was even more out of the question.

Yet, he was able to surpass him step by step and make a great name for himself.

Could it be that there were mysteries in these side-door methods that he had overlooked?

He reached out and beckoned!

"How much have you collected? Let me see!"

Regarding this reaching out, the subordinate obviously didn't react and stood there in a daze.

Shi Ju frowned, "I'm just borrowing it to take a look; do you think this Young Master would covet such petty side-door cultivation methods?"

The subordinate waved his hands quickly, "How could I have such thoughts? It's just that after searching for a long time, the harvest is meager; the inheritance of such a great Divine Sect has actually vanished into thin air."

Shi Ju was stunned.

Immediately, he thought, could it have been looted by Luo Chen?

Ten thousand miles of clouds, with no trace to be found.

A streak of black light flashed through, stirring up countless clouds and winds.

Luo Chen sat cross-legged on the back of the black dragon, holding an elixir in his mouth, quietly meditating and adjusting his breath.

After the battle with Divine Origin, he was unscathed!

It looked easy, but the danger involved was hard for outsiders to know.

Whether it was Divine Origin's magic spells, soul arts, or even the control of magic treasures and true artifacts, he was absolutely a leader among Great Cultivators.

Even the likes of Huang Man and Bi Zheng were inferior.

But his biggest flaw was his physical body!

In the battle of Mount Cangwu Mountain back then, Divine Origin's physical body was destroyed by the Nirvana Sacred Fire left by Venerable Sovereign Qixia; the body he had later was just something he refined himself, which did not match his own soul very well.

Therefore, during battle, there were always some clues to follow.

Both were instant magic spells, but Luo Chen's thoughts arrived instantly, while Divine Origin still had many concerns, not being smooth and rounded enough.

Before a Qi Refiner cultivates a Primordial Spirit, the physical body is still a protective treasure raft and is extremely important.

But even so, Luo Chen also consumed his magic power and risked his realm falling to kill him, which shows how strong Divine Origin was.

"Fortunately, the enemy is gone, and my thoughts are finally clear!"

Muttering, Luo Chen opened his eyes.

The loss of magic power cannot be quickly recovered by relying on a few elixirs.

Even Golden Wind Jade Dew Wine, if taken in large quantities, will cause damage to the meridians.

Only by finding a good spiritual land can one recover to the peak state without scruples.

Luo Chen was not in a hurry; relying on the little magic power he had recovered now, ordinary Nascent Souls couldn't hurt him either.

He looked at the vast and boundless front and sighed: "The journey to the Southern Frontier is long, and the Demon Heart Gu Emperor I'm looking for is even more elusive, and I don't know how to start."

After resolving the great enemy Divine Origin who was pressing on his heart, Luo Chen only had one thing to do now.

Fulfill the obligations of a father!

Find the Demon Heart Gu Emperor, obtain the fourth-tier Demon Heart Gu from the other party, thereby solving the trouble on Luo Luo Lingxi, and allowing the other party to truly cultivate.

As for whether the Demon Heart Gu Emperor is good or evil, and whether he is willing to voluntarily hand over the fourth-tier Demon Heart Gu?

Luo Chen doesn't care!

It's just, where should he start?

Luo Chen recalled the letters from True Person Tianshan, some of the rhetoric from Gu Sima Xian Fengjiang, and the intelligence about the Southern Frontier he had secretly collected over the years, and his heart couldn't help but become heavy again.

Suddenly!

Hei Wang's voice of asking for credit rang in his ears.

"Master, I have some good things here; do you want to take a look?"
