Chapter 31: Tracking Over Ten Thousand Miles, the Entire Army Wiped Out!
The Human-Demon Relic Battlefield occupied a region spanning hundreds of millions of miles. Like a scar on the Xuantian Continent, it cleaved down fiercely from the one-third mark of the East Continent.
Within the range of the battlefield, the world was dim and dark. Wild winds, sounding like the wailing of malicious ghosts, blew all year round.
The closer one got to the Relic Battlefield, the more violent the spiritual energy became. For ordinary cultivators, refining spiritual energy would become increasingly difficult.
Beneath a hillside overgrown with withered wood, a streak of silver radiance flashed past. A young man clad in a green robe walked out from within.
Phew!
Lin Xuan exhaled lightly. The Beiming Physique runes hidden within his body suddenly emerged, causing the demonic energy within a radius of several dozen feet to be devoured completely.
Under the influence of the Beiming Physique, the violent demonic energy instantly became incomparably docile. Like a babbling brook, the demonic energy was devoured by the cell particles within his body.
A few breaths later.
Boom...
A Python-Dragon cell particle within Lin Xuan's body instantly transformed.
In this environment, with the enhancement of the Beiming Physique, Lin Xuan was like a fish in water. No matter how deep he went, while there would be incomparably immense pressure for others, for Lin Xuan, it was completely effortless and without obstacles!
"Human... blood food... eat... eat..."
Suddenly, from the withered wood jungle on one side, a woman with a human head and a centipede body flew out from under a patch of rotting withered leaves. Her hair was disheveled, and she opened a mouth full of fangs, lunging madly towards Lin Xuan.
"Qi Refinement Realm ghost monster!"
Lin Xuan swept his gaze over it.
"Great Gale Blade Technique!"
Immediately, with a thought, a piercing wind blade converged and shot explosively towards that woman ghost monster.
The wind blade sliced that woman ghost monster straight in half.
The tiny wind blades that dissipated even shredded the centipede body of this woman ghost monster into a pile of meat dregs, which scattered all over the ground.
On the Relic Battlefield, encountering Foundation Establishment Realm demons and ghosts was better than these Qi Refinement Realm ghost monsters that only possessed the desire to devour.
Upon sensing the powerful aura on your body, those Foundation Establishment Realm ghost monsters would flee in panic. In contrast, look at these low-level ghost monsters that only had primitive devouring desires.
In their world, there was only a distinction between food and non-food.
At the same time, Lin Xuan took out the jade talisman Murong Qianqian had gifted him.
The tracking array within this jade talisman seemed to have already started; that Murong Qianqian was perhaps already rushing towards his direction.
Furthermore, it was not limited to this. That Zhuge Qing had also found someone to place a tracking seal on him. It was just perfect to catch this bunch of fellows all in one net.
However, he actually wanted to see if this group of people could even get close to him first.
Lin Xuan revealed a cold sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Then, Lin Xuan took a step forward and flew towards the depths of the Relic Battlefield.
"Great Gale Blade Technique!"
Lin Xuan displayed this technique and, with precise control, stepped onto this converged wind blade, heading towards the depths of the Relic Battlefield at an extremely fast speed.
Under this high-speed flight, in nearly half a day's effort, he traversed one hundred and ten thousand kilometers.
After crossing the boundary of one hundred thousand miles, the concentration of demonic energy could not help but increase greatly. Lin Xuan transformed twenty-three cell particles along this journey.
Lin Xuan opened his divine consciousness.
Finally, he locked onto a target within a valley. There was a Black Lizard Demonic Beast nearly ten zhang long, currently gnawing on the prey it had captured.
"Asura Body First Layer!"
After locking onto the target, Lin Xuan directly activated the Asura Array Talisman inside his Dantian.
His power surged twofold, and he instantly arrived above this demonic beast lizard's head. Without saying a word, he knocked it down with a punch. After giving it a sound beating, he subdued it with violence.
Subsequently, Lin Xuan found a place to cultivate within the valley.
Time flashed by, and it was a day and a half later. Sitting cross-legged on a giant rock, Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes and said coldly, "Finally here!"
Several miles away from here, on a stretch of desolate peaks extending for a hundred miles.
A group of seven people were all core disciples under Zhuge Qing; they were all figures ranked in the top thirty in the Nine Heavens Sacred Ground.
The lowest one among them had the realm of the Sixth Heaven of the Void Core Realm. Mobilizing seven Void Core Realm disciples to deal with one Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator made them all feel it was a waste of talent.
"Could there be a problem with this tracking spiritual talisman? In this kind of place where even we struggle to move, that Lin Xuan is just a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator; how could he possibly stay here!"
A black-faced man holding a shield spoke in a low voice.
After penetrating one hundred thousand miles into the Relic Battlefield, the originally quiet mountain forest inexplicably whipped up a burst of wild wind.
Once the wind rose, the demonic energy mixed in the void became even more violent. The fierce wind was like knives; if the seven people did not have True Qi protecting their bodies, it could be said they would be dismembered instantly.
"I also think that Lin Xuan should have been devoured by a demonic beast. Although rumors say his talent is very strong, his strength is plain to see."
Another bald man spoke hurriedly, "I see we might as well go back first. Once we encounter a Golden Core Realm demonic beast in this kind of place, we will all meet our end here!"
"If alive, I want to see the person; if dead, I want to see the corpse. Even if he was devoured by a demonic beast, we must find something that can prove his identity to go back and report."
Just at this moment, the leading gray-robed man, holding a tracking jade talisman in his hand, turned his head and spoke to those two people who were disturbing morale.
"If we go back empty-handed, do you think the Alliance Leader will spare you?"
That black-faced man and the bald man recalled Zhuge Qing's gloomy face, and could not help but feel their spines go cold, giving rise to fear in their hearts.
"The distance is very close. No, the opponent is approaching us, and the speed is very fast..."
That gray-robed disciple looked at the frantically flashing tracking spiritual talisman and suddenly raised his head to look.
A hideous lizard demonic beast like a small mountain was looking at the few people with a gaze that scrutinized prey.
Beneath the giant mouth with fangs, acid was flowing even more. At the same time, this Black Lizard emitted an aura of fatal danger, causing the spines of all seven people to go cold, and their legs began to tremble slightly.
"Gol... Golden Core Realm demonic beast. I said that Lin Xuan was definitely eaten by a demonic beast. I guessed the beginning, but I didn't guess that this demonic beast was at the Golden Core Realm."
That bald youth said with incomparable bitterness in his heart.
"Fight!"
That gray-robed youth gave a low roar and instantly summoned a long saber magic treasure. However, before he could display the magic treasure, his body was bitten in half by the Black Lizard in one bite, and swallowed into its stomach in two bites.
Under this situation of mottled spiritual energy and rampant demonic wind, the Black Lizard was in an enhanced state, while the seven of them were in a weakened state; the gap between the two sides was naturally much larger.
Swoosh!
Amidst the miserable cries of these seven people, facing a Golden Core Realm demonic beast, they had absolutely no ability to react at all, and were all eaten by the Black Lizard.
The Black Lizard lowered its head and sensed the surroundings with its scarlet tongue; it seemed to still have a feeling of wanting more.
Lin Xuan came riding the wind.
That Black Lizard then squatted on the ground, looking at Lin Xuan with a fawning appearance.
However, Lin Xuan felt some regret. This Zhuge Qing had not personally taken action several times in a row; he was truly too cautious.
"It seems I cannot just wait like this!"
Lin Xuan stood by the side of the Black Lizard, which was wagging its tail happily, and gazed towards the layers of mountains in the distance with both eyes.
