Chapter 616

The world was silent. Everyone was still in a state of shock. These mournful cries for help seemed so abrupt.

Everyone turned their heads subconsciously and saw many Elixir realm cultivators flying towards them. These were the Elixir realm cultivators who had fled before. At this moment, they were in a sorry state with panicked looks on their faces.

There were more than 85 people who had fled, but now there were only a dozen left.

However, when they saw that the figure of the Great Power Dan Yuan was no longer there, everyone's expression changed. Then, they stood in the air with faces full of disbelief.

Further away, many cultivators appeared. At the same time, they were accompanied by angry shouts. However, when they saw what had happened, they were also stunned.

It was also a team of Elixir realm cultivators. There were about 85 of them. The leader was a middle-aged man. When he saw that the battle had ended, his expression changed instantly.

At this moment, Zi Chen's cold eyes fell on the middle-aged man.

The two of them looked at each other from afar.

The man's pupils shrank. Then, he shouted from afar, "Lord Zi Chen, I'm Wu Liu. We didn't mean to go against you. We just couldn't stand people running away, so we taught them a lesson for you."

Zi Chen didn't speak. He looked at the man calmly. However, there was a hint of doubt in his heart. He seemed to have heard the name Wu Liu somewhere before.

"Lord Zi Chen, now that the deserters have returned, we won't disturb you any longer. We'll take our leave now." As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Liu led the others away quickly before Zi Chen could reply.

"Should we go after them?" Wang Qiong looked at Zi Chen.

A faint smile slowly appeared on Zi Chen's lips. He finally remembered who this Wu Liu was. He was the leader of Wu Liufeng, who had attacked the market. Back then, the Shangguan Clan had destroyed Wu Liufeng, but Wu Liu himself had disappeared. He didn't expect that he would come here a few years later.

At that time, Zi Chen was only at the early stage of the Zephyr Realm. He could only kill cultivators at the late stage of the Zephyr Realm. But now, he could kill cultivators at the middle stage of the Elixir realm.

He shook his head. In the end, he gave up the idea of killing Wu Liu and the others. It seemed that they were still useful for now.

"What about them?" Wang Qiong's gaze fell on the Dan Yuan who had run away and returned.

The hearts of the Dan Essence Realm cultivators trembled as they begged for mercy. Then, each of them swore an oath of loyalty.

"Kill!"

Zi Chen's face turned cold as he spoke. If such a person could escape once, he could escape a second time. There was no need to keep him alive.

"Yes."

The thunderous responses of Wang Shan and the others resounded throughout the area. From their voices, one could tell how furious they were.

Therefore, the group of people charged forward, and even Longhu followed. Then, a fierce battle ensued.

However, there were only a dozen of them, and a single charge would be enough to deal with them. Clearly, they were not satisfied with killing them.

Wang Shan's gaze then fell on those Dan Yuans who didn't run away or choose to help. A cold light flashed in his eyes.

The hearts of these Core Origin cultivators trembled as they begged for mercy.

"Not running away in the face of danger is also a form of loyalty," Zi Chen said calmly.

Hearing this, the Dan Essence Realm cultivators were relieved. They quickly thanked him and swore to be loyal.

The second battle ended just like that. Zi Chen's side won a complete victory and killed all their opponents. However, such a great victory also came with a heavy loss. The death count of the Dan Essence Realm cultivators was as high as 605.

The problem of loyalty was exposed in front of everyone again, but this time, Zi Chen clearly didn't hesitate. On the second day, he went to the Core Formation Pavilion with Longhu.

After Wu Liu and the others fled a thousand miles away, the group slowed down.

"Ten mid-stage Dan Essence Realm cultivators and 685 early-stage Dan Essence Realm cultivators who had experienced the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation died just like that. There was no one left alive. The fighting power of these barbarians is too strong."

All of the cultivators were shocked.

"The barbarians only represent a place that lacks resources. It doesn't mean that they are all idiots. Since they dared to kill the people of the overlord forces, they must have something to rely on and have a trump card. Only those arrogant forces think that the people of the world are brainless idiots. They deserve to lose," Wu Liu said calmly.

"Lord, you mean that they still have a trump card that they haven't used yet?" someone asked curiously.

"Hmph."

Wu Liu snorted and said, "Zi Chen and the others really offended the five overlord forces. After killing the people of the overlord forces, they didn't run back to the barbarian land immediately. Instead, they established a force in the outer region. Naturally, they must have a powerful trump card. And this trump card is definitely not weak."

"The overlord forces didn't make a move for a long time. Instead, they let the other forces jump around. Naturally, they wanted to see the barbarians' trump card. However, it seems that their plan failed. In the final battle, Zi Chen should have turned the tide."

"Zi Chen turned the tide. Is he alone? But he's only flying. How could he kill so many mid-stage Dan Essence Realm cultivators?" The group of Dan Essence Realm cultivators looked at Wu Liu in confusion.

"Hmph, the fighting power of a Sky Realm cultivator can never be judged by their strength. Moreover, Zi Chen must have gained a lot in the ancient battlefield to make the overlord forces jealous and rob them regardless of their status." Wu Liu smiled.

"Since their combat strength is so terrifying, they should know our goal. Shouldn't we leave?" One of them asked.

"Leave? Why should we leave?" asked Wu Liu.

"We're brazenly stealing their things. Once Zi Chen stabilizes himself from this battle, he'll definitely come to kill us."

Wu Liu smiled mysteriously. "Wrong. We're not stealing. We're helping him. We can be considered his ally. As long as Zi Chen isn't an idiot, he won't send people to kill us."

The major forces had lost once again. They were completely annihilated. The result of this battle seemed to have grown wings and flew towards Chaos City.

In the outer regions, Wang Qiong and the others were also preparing for the third battle. The first two battles had only forced the ordinary forces to retreat. The next battle would naturally be against the overlord forces.

If they could even defeat the overlord forces, their future days would naturally be much better. Furthermore, at that time, it would be time for them to transform from a team to a major force.

Before the third battle, the busiest person was naturally Lv Peng. He had to use all kinds of formation materials to create a killing formation.

This killing formation was prepared for the overlord forces in the third battle. Using a formation to destroy the enemy was obviously a secret. Therefore, no one would help Lv Peng. He had to do everything alone.

After this baptism, Zi Chen had transformed again. His Perfect Body was one step closer to perfection. His combat power had also increased a lot. However, because his physical strength had suddenly increased too much, Zi Chen's movements were a little uncoordinated.

Therefore, Zi Chen held the broken spear during the day and kept slashing, hacking, and stabbing at the void. He carefully adapted to the changes in strength this time. At night, he also worked hard to understand the Soul Seed Technique.

During the baptism, Zi Chen had used his spiritual senses to attack Longhu's blood essence thousands of times. After the baptism, he realized that his already powerful spiritual senses had also changed and become more condensed.

After knowing that Zi Chen's spiritual senses had become stronger again, Longhu imparted the Soul Seed Technique to Zi Chen. The Soul Seed Technique was only a secret technique. One could comprehend it as long as one's soul power was strong. As for whether the person comprehending it was human or beast, there was no difference.

The Core Formation Pavilion was like a Dan Yuan base. It could create an endless number of Dan Yuan powerhouses. Therefore, Zi Chen's team could expand a little every once in a while.

In addition, Zi Chen also gave a lot of resources to the dozen or so Dan Yuan powerhouses who had shown their loyalty through their actions. This allowed two of them to successfully break through to the middle stage.

As for the other Dan Yuan powerhouses, he also gave them energy Dan Yuan for them to refine and strive to reach the peak of the early stage.

After experiencing two battles in succession, the originally invisible loyalty slowly began to appear.

On the tenth day after Zi Chen comprehended the Soul Seed Technique, he made great progress. After trying to silently control a late-stage Imperial Air powerhouse, Zi Chen knew that he had succeeded.

Longhu was stunned when he heard that he had comprehended the Soul Seed Technique in just ten days. He could not believe it. After Zi Chen personally demonstrated it, Longhu had no choice but to believe it.

Thus, Zi Chen personally went to the Core Formation Pavilion to test his results. As a result, he was able to control five late-stage Zephyr Realm cultivators. At present, he had only just comprehended the Soul Seed Technique, and five people were already at his limit.

Although there were only five of them, Zi Chen was still excited. This was because five Dan Yuan powerhouses self-destructed at a critical moment. The destructive power that would be formed was unimaginable.

Zi Chen seemed to have ushered in his lucky day. He had just brought back five early-stage Dan Yuan powerhouses when he heard Wang Shan shouting from afar to tell him a piece of good news.

"What? Wang Qiong is going to undergo the tribulation?" Zi Chen was stunned when he heard this. He then looked at Wang Shan.

"Yes. After the transformation, my brother's strength has finally reached the peak. Just now, he could clearly sense the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation. He can undergo the tribulation at any time," Wang Shan said excitedly.

"This is indeed good news. Let's go and take a look."

Zi Chen flew towards Wang Qiong's residence. Back in the barbarian lands, Wang Qiong was the first to break through to the Flight Realm. Who would have thought that he would also be the first to sense the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation? Once again, he took the lead.

Zi Chen was obviously the last to arrive. After he entered, he found that Monk and the others had already arrived. Everyone had a joyful look on their faces. Obviously, they were all here to congratulate him.

"Brother, if father knows that you are going to undergo the tribulation, he will be very happy," Wang Xian 'er said with a smile.

Wang Qiong nodded. There was obvious excitement in his eyes.

"Hehe, of course. From now on, our Wang family will have one more master." Wang Shan chuckled and strode in.

Then, everyone saw Zi Chen.

"Wang Qiong, the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation is the first tribulation for cultivators. You must be fully prepared. Don't be careless," Zi Chen said solemnly as soon as he appeared.

Wang Qiong nodded.

The others smiled cheekily and did not take it to heart. Usually, when a cultivator at the late stage of the Imperial Air Realm was going to undergo the tribulation, as long as they had a good elixir weapon, they would have more than a 15% chance of success.

Wang Qiong had all kinds of resources on him. Naturally, there was no danger in undergoing the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation.

"You have been baptized by the blood essence of ancient beasts twice. You must not be careless."

Zi Chen warned again. At the same time, he looked at the others and said, "Also, all of you have been baptized by the blood essence of ancient beasts. Be it in terms of physique or strength, you are far superior to ordinary monsters. Therefore, the difficulty of your tribulation should be increased."

Everyone nodded in agreement when they saw how serious Zi Chen was.
