Chapter 656

Twenty-three Primordial Dan cultivators rushed out from the ground. They were a hundred meters apart from each other, and then they formed a large circle.

More than two hundred Primordial Dan cultivators from the opposing forces were right in the middle of this circle.

This was the so-called circular self-explosion technique.

"Damn it, this is."

Seeing the twenty-three people suddenly rushing out from the ground, the opposing Primordial Dan cultivators were all dumbfounded and horrified. This was still a self-explosion technique, but it was even more advanced. Moreover, the self-explosion of twenty-three Primordial Dan cultivators seemed to be too much.

"Disperse, run."

A voice that was close to a roar resounded between heaven and earth. It was the order given by the late-stage Primordial Dan cultivator of the Zhu family.

However, if they were to disperse and run now, it would undoubtedly cause more people to die. In the current situation, they should surround and form a defense. Although there would still be deaths in this way, relatively speaking, there would be fewer deaths.

However, in the current chaos, no one could think of this problem, and even if they could, they would not be able to execute it. This was because they came from many different forces and would not sacrifice their own lives to protect a stranger.

"Boom!"

A glowing Primordial Dan cultivator directly exploded. A burst of destructive energy surged out from his body and then covered an area of a thousand meters.

The self-explosion of a Primordial Dan cultivator covered an area of a thousand meters. This was the conclusion that Zi Chen came to after directing the Primordial Dan cultivators to self-explode again and again.

Within this range of a thousand meters, the energy contained in the middle three hundred meters was undoubtedly the most terrifying. However, Zi Chen made the twenty-three Primordial Dan cultivators stay a hundred meters away from each other.

In other words, after they self-exploded, the strongest destructive energy could still stack with each other, causing double or even multiple times the original destructive power.

Moreover, because they were commanded to rush out of the ground at the same time, the self-explosion of the Primordial Dan cultivators would not be more than a breath apart. This way, there would not be any signs of the Primordial Dan cultivators being killed before they could self-explode.

All of this was carefully calculated by Zi Chen. In addition to calculating the power of the Primordial Dan cultivators' self-explosion, the most difficult part was the direction in which the opposing Primordial Dan cultivators stopped.

Zi Chen calculated correctly, and it could be said that he gambled correctly. They were indeed afraid of his self-explosion technique, so they could open up a distance.

After the first explosion and the first Primordial Core self-destructed, another twenty-two explosions rang out in the world. The sounds that rang out almost simultaneously formed a shocking thunderclap.

The destructive energy shattered the void, turning it into a huge black hole with a radius of several miles. All the Jindan essences of the enemies that came this time were instantly swallowed by the black hole.

From afar, it looked like a huge beast had opened its mouth and swallowed these two hundred-odd Core Realm cultivators.

When everyone saw this scene, other than the monk and a group of people who were familiar with Zi Chen, whose expressions did not change, the expressions of the other Elixir Realm cultivators all changed in an instant. They became shocked and astonished. Clearly, Zi Chen had once again demonstrated his power to them, directly making 78 Elixir Realm cultivators self-destruct.

Of course, in the eyes of some powerhouses, they saw something different. That was Zi Chen's meticulous planning, which allowed the power of the self-detonation of the 78 Core Essences to be maximized.

"Will they still be alive?"

Mournful screams and vicious curses were constantly heard from the black hole. Looking at the incomplete corpses that fell from the black hole, as well as some Core Essences fragments, some of the Core Essences twitched and their eyelids twitched.

The self-detonation of many Core Essences in a small area had already formed a superposition of energy. The destructive power it created was too terrifying.

After the shock, the group of Core Essences exuded a strong fighting spirit. Clearly, Zi Chen's actions had already laid the foundation for their victory.

The black hole was suddenly torn apart by a ray of sword light. Then, the Core Essences of the Cang Family rushed out pathetically. With such destructive energy, even he appeared to be in a difficult position. Moreover, in that instant, when he was surrounded by so much destructive energy, he actually felt the threat of death.

Just as the Core Essences of the Cang Family rushed out, the other late-stage Core Essences also tore apart the black hole one after another and rushed out.

They were standing at the front and were also directly hit by the destructive energy.

The self-detonation of the Core Essences of more than 75 Core Essences was truly terrifying. However, they were still scattered and did not form a destructive force. Therefore, the few of them were only hit by the energy but not killed.

The six of them rushed out one after another. Their clothes were torn and their figures were in a difficult position. For this battle, they had carefully studied it for five days. During this time, they had thought of various ways that Zi Chen could deal with it.

For example, they could defend, or they could use the Great City Barrier Array to exhaust their energy. However, they had thought of various ways to deal with it. They had never expected that Zi Chen would actually use such a self-detonating Core Essences method. Moreover, he had clearly calculated the fear in their hearts and the direction in which he stopped in midair.

Previously, because Zi Chen had directly rushed forward to self-detonate each time he self-detonated his Core Essences, they had completely overlooked the method of self-detonating from underground.

The six of them had angry expressions, but they were also vexed. Clearly, they should have thought of Zi Chen's simple method long ago. However, they had been careless.

This carelessness had caused them to suffer heavy losses, which would directly affect the outcome of this battle. However, fortunately, the group of assassins had not been hit by the self-detonating energy. There was still a possibility of winning this battle.

The destructive energy in front of them was still surging. Zi Chen and his group did not immediately launch an attack. They were waiting for the energy to dissipate.

The destructive energy lasted for a quarter of an hour before dissipating. Previously, there were more than 755 Core Essences on the opposing side. Currently, there were nearly 655 who were still able to fight. More than half of them had been killed.

Using 78 ordinary Core Essences to trade for more than 655 Core Essences on the opposing side. In this first battle, Zi Chen's side had profited.

It was a huge profit.

However, what followed next was a real fierce battle. There were no more tactics or techniques to speak of. Everything depended on one's own combat strength.

"Kill."

The Core Essences on Zi Chen's side had all spread out and were in attack mode. After Zi Chen's cold voice fell, they rushed forward to kill.

The battle began instantly.

However, as soon as the two sides started to fight, many figures appeared from the dark. These were all black-robed men. The moment they appeared, they launched a killing blow.

Under the waves of crazy killing intent, the Core Essences were killed one after another and fell from the sky.

As soon as the battle began, these assassins showed their strength. However, in this first sneak attack, they also lost two people.

These two were killed by the Spirit Devouring Rat.

Beside Zi Chen, except for the monk, the demon ape, and three late-stage Core Essences who did not move, the other Core Essences had all rushed forward. Even Longhu went to kill the enemy.

On the opposite side, the six late-stage Core Essences did not move. The other Core Essences also spread out and began to participate in the battle.

The fierce battle broke out instantly. Core Essences began to fall one after another. Some were from the opposing side, and some were from the same side.

During this time, the assassins also appeared frequently to kill the Core Essences on Zi Chen's side. Moreover, in the chaotic battle, it was easier for the assassins to succeed.

"Puff."

The Spirit Devouring Rat turned into a white light and wandered around the battlefield. It did not fight with the other Core Essences. It was only responsible for killing the assassins hidden in the dark.

The chaotic battle had broken out, and the entire battlefield instantly opened up.

"Die."

On the opposite side, the late-stage Core Essences who had not moved suddenly let out a cold shout and rushed forward with his foundation.

At this time, Zi Chen's side also moved.

"Your opponent is me."

The monk held the Demon Subduing Pestle and blocked the Core Essences of the Li Family. His opponent held a long blade with a foundation. The monk blocked his opponent because he was interested in his opponent's foundation.

Meanwhile, Zi Chen held the Thunder Hammer and blocked the Core Essences of the Cang Family. As the lightning flashed, the mountain-sized Thunder Hammer fiercely collided with the Core Essences of the Cang Family.

After that, the demon ape held the black stick and faced the Core Essences of the Chu Family. The Core Essences of the Wang Family were against the Martial Ancestor's Core Essences, the Core Essences of the Liu Family were against the Core Essences of the Geng Family, and the Core Essences of the Qin Family were against the Core Essences of the Zhu Family.

Both sides seemed to have a foundation or something that was not weaker than a foundation. As soon as the fierce battle broke out, the sky here exploded.

"Everyone, be careful. There are still super strong assassins hiding in the dark." In the fierce battle, the Demon Ape also transmitted a message to the others.

Golden light flashed around Zi Chen, and a doppelganger appeared beside him. The doppelganger held a blood-red broken spear in its hand. As soon as it appeared, it turned into a golden light and rushed to the distant battlefield.

The doppelganger was not useful in a battle of this level, but it was enough for a battle in the early stage of the Core Essences.

This was the last battle, and it was a fierce battle from the beginning. No one intended to hold back.

"Let me show you the power of your Lord Buddha."

After a loud shout, the monk was the first to burst out. Golden light flashed around him, and two doppelganger appeared beside him.

Two doppelganger and a monk. The three of them simultaneously injected the pure Buddhist power in their bodies into the Demon Subduing Pestle. The next moment, the Demon Subduing Pestle emitted a dazzling golden light, and a terrifying aura emerged.

"Boom!"

As the Buddhist power surged, the Demon Subduing Pestle directly enlarged and then fell from the sky, hitting the Core Essences of the Li Family.

The Demon Subduing Pestle slammed into the Core Essences, and an ear-piercing metallic sound burst out. The Core Essences of the Li Family were hit hard, and the Core Essences in their hands almost flew out.

Roar!

After the monk, the Demon Ape, who had been suppressed all this time, also showed its power. He roared at the sky, and a bloody light flashed in his eyes. Endless black light lingered on the surface of his body.

In the next moment, his originally tall and large body suddenly expanded crazily like a giant. A tyrannical aura surged around his body. The black rod tightly gripped in his hand also glowed in the next moment. The various mysterious runes on the surface of his body seemed to have come alive and actually began to squirm.

After that, a terrifying aura emerged from the black staff. The giant Demon Ape held the staff and smashed it down.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the Ice Armor on the surface of the Chu Family cultivator shattered. At the same time, his entire body flew backward under the force of the Demon Ape's smash.

When his body stabilized, his face was full of shock, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
