Chapter 227: What is Li Xun Trying to Do?
Over a thousand li away.
Xuan Er's corpse was nailed to a mountain, blood gushing down its slopes, staining it crimson—an appalling sight.
The weakest person out of everyone present had already reached the Divine Power Realm.
All of them were sharp-eyed and sharp-eared cultivators. They could vaguely make out the scene from afar. Many glanced at the bodies of Xuan Er and the others, then at the vast, blood-soaked figure in the sky.
They couldn't help but swallow hard, a trace of fear rising in their hearts.
Five Divine Palace Realm experts!
In less than half an hour, all of them have been completely annihilated!
Not a single one survived.
This was a colossal event. It could be foreseen that once the matter of the Great Strength Divine Demon Sect was over, the outside world would surely be shaken to its core!
Neither the Great Chu Dynasty nor the Star-Moon Divine Sect would be able to sit still.
Losing one or two Divine Power cultivators was nothing to them. But to lose several Divine Palace experts in a row—that was an entirely different matter.
Even with their deep foundations and vast resources, they could not afford to suffer such massive losses like this.
If this happened a few more times, the core fighting strength of both powers would be wiped out.
"Damn it!"
Chu Lingfeng stood atop a hill, staring at Li Xun's back—like a god, like a demon—and he couldn't stop himself from trembling. He muttered under his breath:
"How can Li Xun be this strong?"
This was far beyond reason.
Li Xun had just broken through to the Divine Palace Realm, yet he could fight five seasoned Divine Palace experts alone—and not only survive, but slaughter them all. It was simply unbelievable.
"Your Highness, be careful with your words," said the old man behind him nervously.
He was called Xuan San, the only Divine Palace expert left at Chu Lingfeng's side. His mission had been to assist in hunting down Li Xun. But now, that goal was completely out of reach.
Instead, it was Li Xun who gave him such oppressive pressure that he could hardly breathe.
Xuan Yi and Xuan Er were both dead. With only him left, there was no way he could stand against Li Xun. If His Highness' words somehow reached Li Xun's ears…
Then whether the two of them could walk out of this small world alive would be uncertain.
After all, every single person from the Star-Moon Divine Sect who had entered this small world was already dead. And every one of them had perished at Li Xun's hands.
If Li Xun decided to casually exterminate the Great Chu Dynasty's people as well, it would cost him little effort.
Li Xun stood alone in the void, overlooking the vast earth below. His eyes were unfathomably deep. Everyone who met his gaze couldn't help but look away.
None dared meet it.
Before long, Li Xun calmly descended from the sky and came before the Scripture Pavilion.
Seeing this, many others followed after. Just now, no one had dared enter the pavilion.
The battle between Li Xun and the five Divine Palace experts had been too terrifying, and the battlefield was far too close to the Scripture Pavilion. To approach recklessly would have meant being grievously injured before even setting foot inside.
But now that the fight was over, people quickly reacted. They wanted to follow behind Li Xun and step into the Scripture Pavilion, hoping to seize one or two divine techniques left behind by the Great Strength Divine Demon Sect.
Everyone assumed Li Xun was about to enter the pavilion.
But suddenly, Li Xun clenched his fist and lashed out.
Boom!
That punch carried all of his essence, energy, and spirit. It was the pinnacle of his strength, unstoppable, giving off an illusion that nothing in the world could resist it.
Even the Divine Palace experts watching couldn't help but feel their hearts pound violently.
"What is Li Xun trying to do?"
Many were utterly horrified.
They wanted to stop him, but it was far too late. They could only watch helplessly as a golden fist, containing the power of ten thousand tons of divine might, smashed down upon the Scripture Pavilion.
With that single blow, a violent aura surged like a raging tide, shattering rocks and clouds, engulfing everything.
The vast Scripture Pavilion shook violently. The grand hall that had stood here for countless years cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Boom!
The earth within dozens of li quaked non-stop. Under countless gazes, the already damaged Scripture Pavilion collapsed with a thunderous roar, reduced to a cloud of dust.
When the dust settled, more than a dozen jade slips glowing with soft, white radiance floated in the sky.
Among them, two shone the brightest. Upon their surfaces were inscribed lines of ancient characters, a script that few in this era could still recognize.
But among those who had entered this small world of the Great Strength Divine Demon Sect, there were indeed some who understood the ancient tongue.
Before long, several voices cried out:
"The True Explanation of the Abyss! The Supreme Limitless Creation Sutra!"
"One is a Saint level alchemical technique, the other a Saint level cultivation technique. These are the most precious inheritances left behind by the Great Strength Divine Demon Sect!"
"A Saint level alchemical technique is already exceedingly rare. Out in the wider world, it would be priceless. But a Saint level cultivation technique? That could serve as the very foundation of a Holy Land!"
"These two treasures are far too valuable! With so many experts here today, unless one possesses absolute dominance among their peers, it will be nearly impossible to claim them!"
"No matter what, those two techniques—I want them!"
High above, more than a dozen jade slips floated. Aside from the two Saint level inheritances, the rest were at least Heaven level.
But the problem was clear, with Saint level techniques before them, who would care for Heaven level techniques?
The True Explanation of the Abyss and the Supreme Limitless Creation Sutra were fundamentally different from the saint medicines scattered throughout the small world. Spiritual herbs were consumed once and gone.
But these techniques… they could continuously nurture generations of powerful experts for a sect or dynasty.
The difference in value was obvious at a glance.
At once, countless figures surged forward, their eyes bloodshot, desperate to seize the two Saint level inheritances.
Among them were not only Emperors, but even elders of Holy Lands—mighty figures who had touched upon the mysteries of creation, exuding overwhelming auras that filled heaven and earth.
"These inheritances belong to my Great Xia Dynasty! Whoever dares contend for them makes themselves the enemy of Great Xia!"
A man wearing a crown of purple-gold stood tall in the heavens, speaking coldly. As he extended his palm, it crossed dozens of li in an instant, descending upon the jade slips like a vast net that covered the sky.
It seemed certain that the jade slips were about to fall into his grasp.
But at the very last moment, a figure wreathed in pale violet light stepped into the air.
Before anyone else could react, he swept up every single jade slip.
"Li Xun!"
"How dare you!"
"What are you trying to do?"
From all directions, furious shouts erupted like thunder.
