Chapter 43: The Might of Soul Devouring! Plundering the Sea Heart Flame! (Second Update!)
"Dan Chen's strength is actually this terrifying?"
Song Qing's eyes widened suddenly, her mouth agape.
"Hahaha, Mu Gu deserves it!" Cao Ying was extremely excited.
"Sister Dan Chen, was this thing also given by Senior Yun Yi?"
At this moment, looking at Dan Chen, she thought of that elegant and tall figure in her mind.
This method of storing one's own battle qi in an object and then releasing it is truly too exquisite, far beyond what ordinary people can do.
"Sister Dan Chen, be careful!"
Suddenly, Cao Ying seemed to sense something, her expression changing instantly.
Without hesitation, she slapped a palm toward behind Dan Chen!
This palm was purely soul power.
Only to see an illusory palm seal flashing with faint light shooting out!
At this moment, Dan Chen also sensed something; the space around her suddenly rippled layer by layer.
Immediately, Mu Gu Lao Ren's half body strangely drilled out from the space.
His hair was disheveled, his face extremely distorted by pain and anger.
The scarlet gaze revealed madness and unwillingness, like a dying beast struggling.
At the moment this half body emerged from the spatial ripples, Mu Gu Lao Ren's withered palm immediately grabbed toward the Token in Dan Chen's hand.
Dan Chen instinctively dodged sideways, but was still a step too slow.
Her wrist was caught by Mu Gu Lao Ren.
That withered palm was like iron pincers, tightly clamping her, a bone-chilling coldness spreading along her arm, making Dan Chen shiver involuntarily.
On the other side, Cao Ying's Soul Hand Seal arrived.
Mu Gu Lao Ren was already at the end of his strength, having just barely used Space Power to launch an attack, with no strength left to dodge.
In an instant, his soul suffered heavy damage again.
Feeling darkness before his eyes, Mu Gu Lao Ren almost fainted directly.
But even so, his withered hand still gripped Dan Chen's wrist tightly.
At this moment, a powerful absorption force surged out from within Dan Chen's body.
Mu Gu Lao Ren felt his soul power being uncontrollably and crazily absorbed by Dan Chen.
"How is this possible!!!"
Terror appeared on his face instantly, his eyes wide open.
He wanted to break free, but his body seemed frozen, unable to move or resist.
At this moment, soul power endlessly overflowed from Mu Gu Lao Ren's brow, turning into faint lights, like streams flowing into the sea, transferring into Dan Chen's body.
Mu Gu Lao Ren weakened visibly to the naked eye.
"Soul Devouring Saint Body?"
Yao Chen looked at Mu Gu Lao Ren being gradually drained dry, his face full of shock.
He quickly saw Dan Chen's situation, a glint flashing in his eyes.
"Mu Gu, this is your own doing!!"
However, many people present were still completely confused about the current situation.
"Kill!"
At this moment, the others brought by Mu Gu Lao Ren, seeing Mu Gu almost being drained to death by Dan Chen, immediately had red eyes and charged over like mad beasts.
They obviously wanted to save Mu Gu Lao Ren.
However, Song Qing and Cao Ying reacted at this time, leading everyone to bravely resist.
"Stop these people, and we will live!!!"
Both sides instantly fell into a fierce melee.
Shouts of killing intertwined, echoing throughout the basin.
Originally, there were not many people brought by Mu Gu Lao Ren, and now they were almost all blocked by the surviving contestants working together.
For a time, they simply could not interfere with Dan Chen.
Only a few minutes later, Mu Gu Lao Ren's soul power had almost been absorbed by Dan Chen by ninety percent.
As the last wisp of soul power was stripped away, he let out an unwilling scream.
The voice was sharp and shrill.
Afterward, his remaining consciousness dissipated like a wisp of light smoke.
The half body fell to the ground.
Completely dead.
Dan Chen's soul power was now obviously much stronger.
After draining someone's soul power for the first time, Dan Chen's face showed no guilt.
After all, Mu Gu Lao Ren had just wanted to put them all to death, truly a crime deserving death.
She slightly raised her head and took a deep breath.
Seeing Dan Chen close the Devouring Soul Physique, Cao Ying hurriedly stepped forward and gently held Dan Chen's hand, gently comforting, "Sister Dan Chen, don't think too much."
"This person wanted to kill all of us and is a mortal enemy of Dan Tower; his death is no great loss."
"Being able to offer you his soul power before death can also be considered one good thing he did in his life."
Saying this, she gently patted Dan Chen's shoulder.
Hearing this, Dan Chen nodded.
A few months ago, Uncle Yun had comforted her in the same way.
She was increasingly agreeing with Uncle Yun's words now.
Using this constitution to deal with evildoers was indeed a decent means of punishment.
And this time, there was an unexpected gain.
Before Dan Chen floated a deep blue flame.
That flame was like a deep ocean.
It was precisely the Heart of the Sea Flame.
A trace of joy flashed in Dan Chen's eyes; she carefully extended both hands and slowly approached the Heart of the Sea Flame.
The flame seemed to detect her approach, flickering slightly, and a scorching breath surged toward her.
Dan Chen gritted her teeth, circulated the battle qi within her body, formed a protective barrier, and then fiercely took in the Heart of the Sea Flame.
Looking at this cluster of flame, she already had a plan in her heart.
Find a time to refine this Heart of the Sea Flame.
After all, there would still be an alchemy competition afterward.
Next, the rest worked together and killed all the remaining people of the Soul Hall.
And that Soul Barrier had already dissipated when Mu Gu died.
After experiencing such twists and turns, everyone finally successfully completed the Second Gate.
The overlord of the Wan Yao Mountain Range, the Dragon Bear, did not come out to stop them from beginning to end.
At this moment it was lazily lying in its own cave, slightly squinting its eyes, watching everything happening below the mountain.
It clearly knew the rules here: every twenty years a group of people would come in to gather herbs.
If it went too far, those old geezers of the Dan Tower might come in to deal with it, and it did not want to invite unnecessary trouble.
"Hmph, these humans are really something..."
The Dragon Bear muttered a sentence, then no longer paid attention, continuing to rest with eyes closed.
It had just watched a good show.
But the aura within that Wind and Thunder Battle Qi made it feel somewhat alarmed.
Fortunately, it never meddled recklessly.
Next, everyone composed themselves and headed toward the Outlet Plaza.
On the last day, Dan Chen focused entirely on refining the Heart of the Sea Flame.
She sat cross-legged on the ground, and the surrounding space seemed twisted by that deep blue flame, forming strange ripples.
Sweat soaked her clothes, sliding down her cheeks continuously, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted.
Cao Ying stood guard beside Dan Chen.
Finally, after a flash of light, the Heart of the Sea Flame was successfully refined by Dan Chen.
It was at this moment that the Transmission opened.
After being transmitted out from the Dan Realm, Dan Chen impatiently searched for Yun Yun among the crowd, but did not see Yun Yi's figure.
A trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
Dan Chen knew that if Yun Yi had not given them that Token in advance, many of them might have been killed by Mu Gu Lao Ren.
The young people of the Dan Tower would have suffered a generational break.
So she very much wanted to thank Yun Yi in person.
