Chapter 82: Exiting the Closed-Door Cultivation, Subduing the Heroes with One Move

"Brother Shi Hao, where have you been these days?"

Mengchen looked at the newly arrived Shi Hao and asked.

Shi Hao replied: "I went to the undersea ice cave to cultivate for a period of time."

Then Shi Hao added: "Brother Mengchen, on the way here, I heard that the Kunpeng fortune is about to manifest. I think we should go and contend for it."

"Indeed! After two years of cultivation, it is time to head out," Mengchen whispered.

Following this, their group walked out of the cave.

At first, the Tianhu girl sulked and said she wouldn't go, but in the end, she could not resist the temptation of the Kunpeng fortune.

They walked out from the remote area and arrived at the main tunnel leading to the depths of the nest; it was empty now, save for corpses that had been dead for a long time.

Bright red blood still flowed on the ground.

Perhaps it was because of this Kunpeng Nest; the dead bodies and blood had neither rotted nor dried up.

They stepped over the massive corpses of various creatures, speeding along the way without stopping.

The death restrictions here had long since been destroyed by the creatures that had rushed ahead over these past two years.

It had to be said that this Kunpeng Nest was truly vast; Mengchen and the others chased for three days without seeing any creatures, let alone the end of the nest.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

"Kill..."

Not until the seventh day did they finally hear shouts of killing coming from ahead.

As Mengchen and the others rushed over, they saw many creatures ahead fighting over an altar, all wanting to stand upon it.

"Could it be that standing on that altar allows one to obtain the Kunpeng fortune?" Mengchen speculated in his heart.

"Swish!"

The next instant, Mengchen's figure shot out, heading straight for the altar.

Currently, a sea creature was standing on the altar; he had transformed into human form, appearing as an old man with a white beard.

Here, there was no regard for respecting the old or cherishing the young; after Mengchen leaped into the air above the altar, he struck down fiercely.

He formed a fist seal, his entire body radiant, scattering divine light.

Sensing someone attacking from above, the white-bearded old man looked up and instantly formed a fist seal to counter.

"Bang!"

The two fists collided, erupting with a thunderous roar; the white-bearded old man's figure staggered backward, falling off the altar, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

Mengchen landed openly, standing on the altar with cold, stern eyes, looking down at the creatures all around.

"Junior, you dare to ambush and injure me; you must die!" The old man steadied his figure, and upon seeing Mengchen on the altar, he roared out.

The next instant, he revealed his true form; it was a sea dragon, massive, ferocious, and terrifying, with a very powerful aura.

This was a sea creature with strength far exceeding the Spirit Transformation Realm; although he was currently suppressed by the restrictions, he was still a top-tier powerhouse within the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"Roar!" With an angry howl, the sea dragon charged toward Mengchen on the altar with its blood-red maw wide open.

"Hmph! You are seeking your own death!"

Mengchen leaped horizontally, Runes surging within his body; he formed a fist seal, the Runes surging and gathering, and after building up momentum, he threw a punch.

"Boom! Crack..."

The fist seal slammed into the sea dragon, followed by the sound of surging energy, and then a series of cracking sounds of shattering bones.

Just like that, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the sea dragon's massive body fell to the ground, a terrifying fist mark on its skull where blood was continuously spilling out.

"What? How could this be? He actually killed the sea dragon with one punch! He is a Formation-Arranging cultivator! Just one step away from reaching the Venerable Realm." Beneath the altar, someone let out a voice of terror.

"Damn it, where did this bald guy pop out from?" someone said with hatred.

For a moment, the group of people below had cold eyes, like a cold current sweeping onto the altar! Mengchen did not care about their gazes; he crossed his arms over his chest and glanced at the creatures below one by one.

Before long, Shi Hao, Maoqiu, the Tianhu girl, and Heizi all jumped onto the altar.

After the scene of Mengchen killing the sea dragon with one punch, all the creatures dared not take the initiative to attack for a time.

This bald youth was simply too fierce!

Many creatures sighed, wondering who else here could compete with him.

Yet just at this moment, a voice that shocked everyone rang out.

"Little friend, you have shown off enough; it is time to leave, lest you lose your life here."

Following this, a middle-aged man walked out from the crowd.

"Ah... it is, it is Venerable Sea Demon!" In the crowd, someone recognized this middle-aged man and exclaimed with a face full of shock.

Soon, Mengchen looked over, watching the middle-aged man; although he heard someone say he was Venerable Sea Demon, he was not afraid in the slightest here.

He had now reached the perfection of the Spirit Transformation Realm, so even if a Venerable arrived, he would kill them all the same. Mengchen said indifferently: "Venerable Sea Demon? I consider that your cultivation was not easily attained, so please do not ruin yourself, lest you lose your life here. You... had better leave."

Once these words were spoken, it instantly caused an uproar among the creatures, who cried out in fear, "What? He actually dares to speak to Venerable Sea Demon like that; is he not afraid of death?"

"This bald human must be crazy."

"Just watch! Under the hands of Venerable Sea Demon, he will die in a single round."

"Look, Venerable Sea Demon is angry." Someone noticed the change in Venerable Sea Demon's mood and shouted in a low voice.

Venerable Sea Demon's expression turned cold instantly, and he said chillingly: "You human ant, you are truly arrogant. Since I gave you a chance and you did not cherish it, then I shall reluctantly kill you!"

He wore Black Gold Armor, his body tall and straight, standing there like a god; his long, pitch-black hair was disheveled, and dark light surged in his eyes, deep and terrifying, possessing an indescribable majesty.

Mengchen was not annoyed; instead, he said with a foolish grin: "Heh... very well! Since you insist on seeking death, then I shall accept it."

The crowd beneath the altar was instantly struck dumb upon hearing these words.

Was this guy afraid he wasn't dying fast enough? He actually dared to speak like that.

"Come! Come over and accept your death!" Mengchen shouted toward Venerable Sea Demon.

Standing on the altar, he looked down from a position of superiority, reached out with a cold expression, and made a beckoning gesture toward Venerable Sea Demon.

Everyone revealed looks of shock; even the Venerables lurking in the shadows had strange lights in their eyes. This little bald monk was being far too arrogant! "Hmph!"

Following a cold snort from Venerable Sea Demon, black light surged around his body, swelling by several dozen zhang, with Runes swirling within it; the killing intent shocked the entire scene.

"Shh!" In an instant, he exploded upward, formed a fist seal, and charged straight at Mengchen to kill him.

"Hmph!"

Golden light surged around Mengchen's body. He struck out with his right fist, colliding with Venerable Sea Demon's fist seal, emitting a thunderous roar. As the fist seals met, one golden and one black type of Rune were burning.

The living beings below, who had originally thought Venerable Sea Demon could forcefully crush Mengchen, held their breath at this moment and began to watch this collision of blows without blinking.

"Get down here!" Mengchen suddenly shouted explosively, facing Venerable Sea Demon.

Following this, his aura rose sharply, and he struck out with his right fist with all his might, blasting Venerable Sea Demon off the altar.

Blasted off the altar, Venerable Sea Demon staggered back more than a dozen steps before he finally steadied his figure.

Seeing this, the crowd of living beings could not believe what they were seeing.

Venerable Sea Dragon had actually fallen into a disadvantage! At this moment, Venerable Sea Demon's expression was incomparably cold; black mist surged from his forehead as he once again swung his fist and charged toward the altar.

"You will die in the next blow!" Mengchen looked down from his superior position, extended his index finger, and said with a cold and ruthless expression, exuding an aura of absolute killing.

At this moment, no one dared to doubt Mengchen's strength anymore; that previous blow was enough to explain everything.

Even Shi Hao and Tianhu Shaonü behind him were extremely shocked; Mengchen's strength exceeded their imagination.

Watching Venerable Sea Demon charge over, Mengchen opened all eleven of his Cave Heavens, and the entire nest became brilliant in an instant. Following this, he formed seals with his hands, and a tiny figure appeared within the eleventh Cave Heaven, sitting cross-legged with eyes closed.

Inside three other Cave Heavens, there appeared nine Heavenly Dragons, a red lotus, and a Golden Eye, respectively.

"What is that?" some living beings pointed at the tiny figure inside Mengchen's Cave Heaven and exclaimed.

"That is, that is the Divine Fetus True Self. I never expected he would have cultivated to such a degree." Some knowledgeable living beings said, feeling extremely shocked.

"God-Demon Slash!"

Just at this moment, Venerable Sea Demon charged over, his whole body wrapped in black light, with black Runes pouring out from between his arms, instantly forming a palm Blade to kill him.

"You can go die now!" Mengchen spoke extremely calmly, and then his hand seals suddenly changed, and divine light erupted within the three Cave Heavens.

Eight Heavenly Dragons—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and gold—rushed out, instantly swelling into gargantuan creatures. Following this, a red lotus rotated and flew out, and from each lotus petal, a red light beam exploded forth, terrifying to the extreme. Finally, the Golden Eye in the last Cave Heaven detached from the Cave Heaven, instantly rose into mid-air, and then opened wide in an instant, blasting down a brilliant divine light that was incomparably earth-shattering.

The three attacked simultaneously, causing Venerable Sea Demon to feel great shock; he felt the threat of death.

He slashed down with the palm Blade in his hand and then retreated rapidly.

"What! Venerable Sea Demon is actually trying to flee." At this time, some living beings exclaimed aloud.

"Hmph! Where are you running!" Just at this moment, Shi Hao had appeared in front of Venerable Sea Demon before anyone knew it. He swung the Broken Sword in his hand with all his might, destroying Venerable Sea Demon's plan to escape.

"Boom!"

The nine gargantuan Heavenly Dragons slammed into Venerable Sea Demon in an instant, followed by countless red light beams that exploded forth, piercing through his body. Finally, the brilliant divine light shot out by the Golden Eye blasted down from the top of his head.

"Ah! No..."

Following a roar of rage from Venerable Sea Demon, his body turned into ashes and vanished with the wind.

"He, he's dead!" At this moment, all the living beings beneath the altar were terrified to the extreme.

This bald human from the land was truly too terrifying!

The various experts were fearful and even more incomparably shocked; with this bald human here, how could they still compete for the Kunpeng fortune?

To dare to compete with him, wouldn't that be courting death...
