Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Zhang Zaizhi's face changed drastically: "As expected, there's a trap!"

Ruo Qunshuang subconsciously hugged Linglong tight, a layer of cold sweat seeping out on her back.

Thank goodness we didn't follow that group of people and rush over just now, otherwise we would have been targeted by the things hiding beneath the Chaos Fog by now.

Qingyao bit her lip, her small face turning slightly pale: "Master, what exactly are those things?"

Xu Zhangqing shook his head: "I don't know, but their size is no smaller than the Chaos Species we've seen before.

Moreover, their hiding position is too insidious, right directly beneath the Light Pillar, as if they're waiting for something."

"Waiting for people."

Zhang Zaizhi raised his hand, pointing toward the distant Chaos Fog that had already been dyed colorful by Escape Lights and blood light: "What they're waiting for are those cultivators who've had their heads turned by the Supreme Treasure."

The outer perimeter of the golden Light Pillar was already in complete chaos.

The first batch of cultivators who rushed near the Light Pillar numbered about three hundred, with cultivation ranging from Nascent Soul Early Stage to Spirit Severing Late Stage.

They came from various Star Domains, various Continent Domains, various forces.

There were Loose Cultivators, Sect Disciples, Clan Direct Descendants.

There were also organized squads like those from Beili Xuezhou.

The Supreme Treasure's Light Pillar was right before their eyes, everyone's eyes turned red.

"This Supreme Treasure was spotted first by our Dongji Lingzhou!"

"Whoever snatches it owns it!"

"Clear everyone else out first!"

Shouts of killing, sounds of Magic Treasures colliding, screams mixed together, the Chaos Fog torn into fragments by all kinds of Spiritual Light and spells.

A Spirit Severing Early Stage Loose Cultivator had just rushed to the edge of the Light Pillar, hadn't even had time to reach out, when three Flying Swords struck his back, his protective Spiritual Light instantly shattered, his whole body minced into blood mist by Sword Qi.

A Nascent Soul Late Stage female cultivator sacrificed an ancient bronze Shield to block a side attack, but was caught by a Chain that suddenly burst out from under her feet, wrapping around her ankle, and dragged hard into the depths of the Chaos Fog, her scream cutting off abruptly.

Another Spirit Severing Mid Stage Sect Disciple, relying on his agile Escape Technique to shuttle back and forth through the crowd, was just about to touch the outer layer of the Light Pillar's radiance.

Six cultivators from Beili Xuezhou attacked simultaneously, six spells freezing him in mid-air, then exploding with a boom.

In merely the time of one Incense Stick, nearly three tenths of the cultivators who had rushed to the Light Pillar's outer perimeter were dead.

Not killed by Chaos Species, but by mutual slaughter

Corpses floated in the Chaos Fog, severed limbs, shattered Magic Treasures, burning Flying Swords, mixed together composing a scene tragic to the extreme.

Blood Mist spread out, dyeing the surrounding fog a dark red color.

However, the remaining people simply couldn't be bothered with these.

The Supreme Treasure's Light Pillar grew brighter and brighter, the outline of that thing inside the Light Pillar also gradually becoming clear.

It was a golden pearl the size of a fist, on the pearl's body flowed nine lifelike Divine Dragon phantoms, each Divine Dragon constantly swimming, emitting Law Fluctuations that made everyone suffocate.

Every inch the pearl rose, the Light Pillar's pressure increased by a degree, the surrounding Chaos Qi retreating further.

Someone recognized this Supreme Treasure, crying out in alarm: "Nine Dragons Supreme Pearl!"

"The legendary Ancient Dragon Clan Supreme Treasure!"

"It's said refining this pearl can obtain Nine Dragon Power!"

Once these words came out, the remaining cultivators went even crazier.

And among everyone, the craziest, most arrogant, most ruthless, was that Evil Cultivator old man.

A blood-colored long rainbow pierced through the crowd, wherever the Evil Cultivator old man passed, Blood Evil Qi spread in all directions like a living thing.

In his hand he gripped a bone banner that was entirely scarlet red, on the banner hung nine skull heads still dripping blood, in each skull head's eye sockets burned dark green Ghost Fire.

Every time the bone banner waved, the nine skull heads simultaneously opened their mouths and sprayed out nine beams of blood light.

Wherever the blood light passed, whether Nascent Soul Stage or Spirit Severing Stage cultivators, their protective Spiritual Light would be instantly corroded with a large hole.

Immediately after, the whole person would be wrapped in blood light, essence blood sucked dry, turning into the tenth, eleventh skull heads on the bone banner.

"Hahahaha......"

The Evil Cultivator old man laughed wildly, the number of skull heads on the bone banner continuously increasing, his surrounding aura also surging violently along with it.

"A bunch of ants!

You dare compete with this old man for a Supreme Treasure?

All of you become nourishment for this old man's Ten Thousand Souls Banner!"

The dozen or so Evil Cultivators behind him also showed no mercy, Blood Soul Banners, Blood Pill Furnaces, Resentful Bone Beasts, all kinds of evil path methods deployed simultaneously, specifically targeting those isolated, injured cultivators.

Techniques practiced and ruthless, one look shows they've been doing this killing and treasure-snatching business for years.

A Beili Xuezhou cultivator couldn't dodge in time, struck head-on by the Evil Cultivator old man's blood light, all essence blood in his body sucked dry in an instant, his whole person turning into a shriveled skin bag, floating in the Void.

The Evil Cultivator old man casually grabbed, pulling that skin bag over, then a cluster of dark green Soul Refining Fire surged in his palm, forcibly dragging the dead man's Divine Soul out of the Dried Corpse, stuffing it into a new skull head on the bone banner.

In the crowd, a slightly older Spirit Severing cultivator recognized the Evil Cultivator old man's identity, couldn't help but cry out in alarm: "Nine Nether Blood Demon!"

"What?"

"Could he be Blood Evil Old Demon's junior brother, Nine Nether Blood Demon Li Qianjue!"

"This scoundrel has run rampant in the Endless Star Domain for many years, lives on his hands no less than ten thousand!"

Nearby cultivators hearing this name, faces instantly turned pale.

Blood Evil Old Demon's reputation, in the Endless Star Domain no one doesn't know, that's a top-tier demon lord commanding one side of evil path forces.

It is said his cultivation has already reached the Late Stage of the Unity Realm, only a single step away from the Mahayana Stage.

And the Nine Nether Blood Demon Li Qianjue, as the Blood Evil Old Demon's junior brother, acts even more ruthlessly than his senior brother; he specially hunts the young geniuses of the major powers, then uses their essence blood and souls to refine his Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

"That's not right!"

The cultivator who recognized him shouted again: "The Nine Nether Blood Demon has always been active in the Core Area, how could he run to this remote location?"

A loose cultivator who had just retreated from the Core Area coldly smiled at the side: "What else could it be?

He was struck away by Zhen Yuanzi!"

"Zhen Yuanzi?"

"Correct, it's that Zhen Yuanzi from the Beidou Xianfu!"

"He brought a little child and killed his way into the Core Area; seeing an evil cultivator he killed, seeing a demon lord he suppressed. The Nine Nether Blood Demon ran into him and couldn't even hold out for a moment before nearly being suppressed.

If not for running fast, the Blood Evil Old Demon would be collecting his corpse right now!"

These words reached Xu Zhangqing's ears; he was first stunned, then suddenly understood.

No wonder this Nine Nether Blood Demon had such an intense reaction when he saw his token.

Turns out he was struck away by Eldest Senior Brother, then ran to the border region to bully the weak.

What Nine Nether Blood Demon?

An old thing that doesn't even dare face Zhen Yuanzi directly, running to the border to swagger — plainly put, he's just a coward!

Of course, the Nine Nether Blood Demon would never admit it.

Right now he is killing with rising excitement; the number of skull heads on the Ten Thousand Souls Banner has already broken through fifty, the Blood Evil Qi so dense it has nearly condensed into substance, forming a blurred phantom a hundred zhang tall behind him.

In his view, as long as he takes down this batch of cultivators before him and completely refines all their essence blood and souls, he might just be able to attempt a Void Refining Breakthrough.

By then, even if he encounters Zhen Yuanzi again, he won't end up as bedraggled as a dog fleeing with its tail between its legs!
