Chapter 614
Those who rushed out of the destructive energy were all Primordial Core cultivators who were lucky enough not to die. Although they were lucky enough to survive the self-destruction of their Primordial Core cultivators, they were more or less injured.
Poof.
Blood sprayed out in the sky. A mid-stage Primordial Core cultivator rushed out of the destructive energy. He was too close to the self-destructing cultivator, so he was directly hit by the destructive energy, causing him to be seriously injured.
As soon as he rushed out, he angrily cursed, "Damn barbarians, I will not let you go."
"I will not let you go either."
A cold voice suddenly sounded in the mid-stage Primordial Core cultivator's mind. The void behind him suddenly broke open, and the devil ape's tall figure walked out. He held the black rod tightly in his hand. As soon as he walked out of the void, he struck out with a powerful attack.
A sharp whistle sounded in the air. The black rod fell down with great force, its speed almost reaching the limit.
The mid-stage Primordial Core cultivator only had time to turn around and look up. Then he looked at the black rod that was already above his head in shock.
"Peng!"
The black rod hit the mid-stage Primordial Core cultivator's body, causing a loud bang. All the Primordial Core cultivators in the distance looked at this scene in shock. They saw the black rod land on the mid-stage Primordial Core cultivator's head. A destructive energy swept over him. With a boom, the mid-stage Primordial Core cultivator's body exploded. A spiritual thought rushed out from the exploded body.
This was the mid-stage Primordial Core cultivator's soul. The devil ape's attack only destroyed the opponent's physical body, but it did not destroy the opponent's soul.
But before the soul could escape, the devil ape's second attack landed like lightning. The space trembled again. A terrifying energy surged. The mid-stage Primordial Core cultivator's soul was instantly shattered by the black rod.
A mid-stage Primordial Core cultivator was killed by the devil ape with two rods. This scene shocked everyone.
Both the Primordial Core cultivators and the enemy Primordial Core cultivators were shocked.
"Kill."
In the distance, Wang Qiong also gave the order. As the cold voice sounded, the Primordial Core cultivators rushed toward the enemy Primordial Core cultivators like crazy.
All kinds of lights flashed between heaven and earth. A fierce battle broke out.
This was a fierce and tragic battle. As soon as the battle started, many Primordial Core cultivators had already died. And there were sounds of self-destruction from time to time.
The Primordial Core cultivators were not the only ones who were crazy. The enemy Primordial Core cultivators were also crazy....
"Boom!"
The body of a heavily injured enemy Dan Essence Realm cultivator exploded. Knowing that he was going to die, he decisively self-detonated his Dan Essence. The destructive energy directly swept through the four Dan Essence Realm cultivators.
"Kill!"
The fourteen mid Yuan Dan experts also charged into the crowd and began a wild massacre. Even though Longhu, Zhang Haotian, Mo Yuan and the rest were there to stop them, they still managed to gain the upper hand due to their numerical advantage.
The desperate chaotic battle continued. Core Essence cultivators were dying almost every second.
The chaotic battle in the air continued, but on the ground, another ten Dan Essence experts rushed out. The moment they appeared, they flew close to the ground, leaving the battlefield at the fastest speed possible.
Deep underground, Zi Chen, who was undergoing the baptism, was drowning in endless pain.
He sat cross-legged in a huge energy bubble. Around him, there were all kinds of ancient beast essence blood, as well as all kinds of precious medicines and spiritual herbs. Below the bubble, there was deep blue earth fire. The earth fire burned fiercely, sending endless heat to melt the essence blood.
The bubble blocked the transmission of sound. Only Zi Chen's painful expression could be seen. If one was inside the bubble, they would be able to hear the low growls coming from his throat. Inside the bubble, besides Zi Chen's growls, there were all kinds of beast roars.
These were the remnant will of the ancient beasts in the essence blood. They were eroding Zi Chen's powerful spiritual thoughts.
As the temperature in the bubble increased, all kinds of essence blood began to melt. Illusory figures of ancient beasts appeared one after another. They pounced on Zi Chen, biting and tearing.
Zi Chen's expression became more painful. Around him, up and down, there were all kinds of small ancient beasts. They kept biting and tearing at his body. It felt as if there were tens of thousands of ants crawling and biting on his body. The pain came from all over his body.
"Ah!"
The intense pain came wave after wave. Zi Chen couldn't help but growl in pain. Pale golden blood began to flow out of the pores all over his body.
As time passed, the small beasts that were tearing at him slowly turned illusory and dim. Finally, they turned into pure spiritual energy and were absorbed by Zi Chen's body.
After the first wave of small beasts disappeared, there was still a second wave. These small beasts were obviously much larger in size, and the consciousness they contained was also much stronger. Under the tearing and biting, more and more light golden blood flowed out from Zi Chen's body.
Zi Chen's pain increased by 85%.
If the first wave of small beasts were the descendants of pure-blooded ancient beasts, then the second wave would be the kings of ancient beasts. After the second wave, there would be the third wave of ancient beasts. Finally, there would be the essence blood of dragons and tigers.
The third wave of ancient beasts' essence blood was still painful for Zi Chen. The continuous pain almost made him collapse.
After the third wave of essence blood was absorbed, Longhu's shadow appeared. Zi Chen was extremely weak at this moment. It was as if he had been fighting for several days and nights. He had reached his limit. He couldn't even refine the essence blood of an ancient beast king, let alone another pure-blooded ancient beast.
Moreover, Zi Chen felt that if he continued to be attacked by the pain, he would faint.
Longhu rushed out of the essence blood and looked at Zi Chen coldly. The expected scene of Longhu pouncing on Zi Chen didn't happen. It was like a real king, standing in front of Zi Chen and looking down at the tiny Zi Chen.
Longhu stood in front of him and looked at Zi Chen with contempt. Its expression seemed to be thinking and intelligent.
Longhu didn't attack for a long time. While Zi Chen was puzzled, he also felt a little happy. He thought that it wasn't a bad thing that the other party was waiting for him to refine it.
However, when Zi Chen's spiritual thoughts landed on Longhu's body, he felt as if he had landed on a lump of iron. He couldn't refine it at all. Longhu was like a solid body without any flaws.
"How is this possible?"
Zi Chen's weak face was filled with surprise. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Longhu again. Longhu's mouth moved slightly and gave him a mocking expression.
It stood proudly with a look of disdain and mockery. It seemed to be saying, "I'm a supreme beast. How can an ant like you refine me?"
Seeing Longhu's expression, Zi Chen was furious. He could even subdue the real Longhu Supreme, let alone a mere drop of essence blood.
Moreover, as the strongest perfect body among humans, its height shouldn't be inferior to Longhu Supreme's at all.
Therefore, after a roar, Zi Chen increased the strength of the refinement. At the same time, he gathered all his spiritual thoughts and attacked Longhu.
"Bang."
Under the powerful impact of the spiritual thoughts, Longhu's body suddenly trembled. It was originally a whole body, but its body loosened a little. Then, a wisp of energy escaped from its body and entered Zi Chen's body.
This was only a wisp of energy, which was equivalent to a drop in the ocean. It was completely negligible. Longhu's expression became even more arrogant and looked at Zi Chen with disdain.
However, a smile appeared on Zi Chen's face. Although a drop in the bucket was negligible, he saw some hope. If he could absorb a strand of Qi with one attack, then he could absorb even more with a few more attacks.
Longhu, who was standing still, would be exhausted sooner or later.
Therefore, Zi Chen, who saw hope, began to gather his spiritual thoughts and attacked Longhu again and again. Longhu was also constantly releasing its energy during the attacks.
Days passed. Longhu's solid figure slowly became illusory during the attacks. After thousands of attacks, Longhu's body collapsed.
At this point, all the essence blood, ancient herbs, precious herbs, and spiritual herbs had melted into liquid and merged together. Under the burning of the earth fire, the liquid made gurgling sounds. Zi Chen was in the middle of the medicinal liquid. All he needed to do was to absorb, refine, and transform.
The loud sounds between heaven and earth continued, and the fierce battle continued. However, after the shock of the ten Primordial Core experts' self-detonation passed, the battle slowly reached a balanced stage.
More than half of the hundred Primordial Core experts of the opposing forces had died. Five mid-stage Primordial Core experts had also died.
However, the ten mid-stage Primordial Core experts who were still alive chose to join forces and formed a strong battle force.
This caused Longhu, the demonic ape, and the others who were preparing to attack them one by one to lose their target. Moreover, they could only hold them back and could not continue to kill them.
During this period, Heifeng had directly swallowed a precious pill because he had suffered a fatal injury. He had successfully saved his life. At this moment, he was fighting against the mid-stage Primordial Core experts with the others.
However, they had fewer people than the mid-stage Primordial Core experts. At this moment, it was already very difficult for them to resist. Moreover, in such an evenly matched battle, the fact that they did not have enough elemental energy to fly was completely exposed. If Wang Shan and the others had not been swallowing elemental liquid, they would have been slaughtered because of the depletion of their energy.
Wang Shan, Wang Qiong, Wang Xian 'er, Wild Wolf, Heifeng, Zhang Haotian, Longhu, and the demonic ape. The eight of them blocked the ten mid-stage Primordial Core experts. This was undoubtedly a miracle.
However, the eight of them could not hold on any longer and were showing signs of defeat.
On the other side of the battlefield, the early-stage Primordial Core experts on Zi Chen's side were also beginning to die in large numbers. If it were not for the Spirit Devouring Rats, Wu Mo, and the others, they would have been defeated and fled.
Even so, there were still a few Primordial Core experts who took advantage of the chaos to escape. This time, the Spirit Devouring Rats did not have time to catch up with them.
The ten mid-stage Primordial Core experts suppressed Wang Qiong and the others, forcing them to retreat continuously. At this moment, they could only defend and were unable to counterattack.
However, these ten mid-stage Primordial Core experts did not dare to casually send out one of them to rescue the other Primordial Core experts. This was because there was still a person watching them covetously in the dark. Although the other party only attacked three times each time, it was still a threat to them.
"All of you, stop and come back!" a mid-stage Primordial Core expert suddenly shouted.
When the other Primordial Core experts heard this, they all stopped and quickly flew over. However, during this time, two of them were still killed by the Spirit Devouring Rats.
Soon, the opposing Primordial Core experts had all returned. Among the group of early-stage Primordial Core experts, only thirty were left alive.
However, in Zi Chen's side, less than twenty Primordial Core experts had returned. The rest of the Primordial Core experts either watched from afar or took the opportunity to escape.
