Chapter 968

After the Heaven Realm expert was killed by Zi Chen, he brought Bing'er back to the village.

The devil ape set up a grave for Old Zhang. Zi Chen bowed three times to Old Zhang's grave. Bing'er knelt on the grave and cried until she fainted.

After that, Zi Chen carried Bing'er back to Zhang Village. The corpses of the villagers were still there, but very few of them were complete. Because the nearby wild beasts had also been killed, no wild beasts came to eat them.

Zi Chen set a fire here, and the flames swallowed the entire Zhang Village. A moment later, Zhang Village was reduced to ashes.

With Old Zhang dead and Zhang Village gone, Zi Chen could only bring Bing'er along. In this kind of situation, he had no choice but to bring Bing'er along.

"Let's leave this place first."

Zi Chen had killed the four spiritual bodies here, as well as the cultivators from the Martial Heaven Alliance and the Tyrant Race. Adding on the fact that the Lightning Divine Hall had appeared here, it was likely that many experts would come here very soon. Perhaps even Earth Origin experts would come.

This was no longer a good place to stay, so they had to leave as soon as possible.

Zi Chen carried Bing'er, and the devil ape followed. The three of them left this place.

Not long after the three of them left, the cultivators who had been guarding the outer perimeter came to investigate.

When they arrived at the valley where the Mortal Origin Fruit had grown, they saw many incomplete corpses. There were even spiritual bodies among them. Since the spiritual bodies were dead, the others weren't alive either. This caused their expressions to change, and they hurriedly sent a message back.

Not long after, several experts arrived. They were from the Huo family's Origin Realm. After they arrived, they carefully examined this place.

The results caused their expressions to completely change. That was because they could see that these people, including the spiritual bodies, seemed to have been cut by many sharp blades. In other words, these people had been cut to death by many sharp blades.

"Who has such power to send out so many sharp blades at once? Furthermore, they were able to kill the four spiritual bodies," said one of the Mortal Origin Realm experts in shock.

Another person shook his head. "I'm not sure, but with such power, the other party is clearly not weaker than the Earth Origin Realm."

"Earth Origin Realm. What kind of expert is the Earth Origin Realm? Why would they come here and attack the spiritual bodies?"

The few Human Origin Stage cultivators couldn't come to a conclusion. All of a sudden, they sensed a terrifying qi right next to them.

Their expressions changed drastically. The moment they turned around, they saw a young man beside them. At this moment, the young man was currently inspecting the battlefield. At the same time, his gaze looked towards the sky, where the Lightning Divine Hall had appeared.

"Senior Qian."

The Human Origin Stage cultivators all sensed a vast and terrifying aura from the young man. They were shocked and hurried to salute him.

The young man waved his hand and said, "There's nothing for you to do here, you can leave."

The few of them didn't dare to say anything else. They bowed once more and left.

The young man's gaze swept the surroundings before finally landing on the spot where the Lightning Divine Hall had disappeared. His eyes emitted a resplendent light as he said, "Ten thousand years have passed, and the Lightning Divine Hall has reappeared. This is a chance, a chance to become a God."

As he muttered, the young man's figure flashed and completely disappeared. As for the few dead spirits, he did not suspect anything.

The appearance of the Lightning Divine Temple had produced a power that no human could withstand. Although the spiritual bodies were special, they were still within the range of humans. Therefore, the deaths of these people were all too normal.

He would only find it strange if they didn't die.

After the young man left, a few rays of light descended in succession. After they investigated the Lightning Divine Hall's whereabouts, they left and did not investigate the deaths of the spiritual bodies.

Red Fruit Town was a remote town in the eastern region. The town occupied an area of several dozen miles, and was like a small city. The town was jointly controlled by three powers, and the strongest person in the town was only at the Flight Realm.

On this day, two youngsters came to the town.

They were a man and a woman. The man wore black clothes and looked to be around twenty-three or twenty-four years old. He had a handsome appearance. The woman wore white clothes and looked to be around sixteen or seventeen years old. She was cute and beautiful.

The two of them arrived at Red Fruit Town and looked around. The man's expression was calm, while the woman was looking around curiously, as though it was her first time going out.

Such a perfect match was naturally enough to attract people.

The two of them entered the town and walked around for an entire day. On this day, the woman seemed to have tasted all the delicacies in the town.

At night, the two of them stayed in the town. However, the two of them asked for two rooms, so they were obviously not a real couple.

On the second day, the two of them continued to walk around the town.

For five days in a row, almost everyone in the town knew about this handsome couple.

These youngsters were Zi Chen and Bing 'er. Zi Chen's original intention was to find a secret place to refine the Mortal Origin Fruit and break through. However, after considering Bing' er's young age and the boredom of staying alone in the mountains, he found a small town to settle down in.

As he was not sure how long it would take for him to break through, Zi Chen bought a house in the town at a high price on the sixth day.

"Bing 'er, bring Little Fox out to play tomorrow." In the room, Zi Chen said.

"Okay, I'll go out by myself tomorrow." Bing 'er nodded.

It had already been a month since Old Zhang's death. Bing 'er had also walked out of her sorrowful mood, and she had become much more cheerful.

"Take these origin stones. Remember, if you feel any danger, send me a sound transmission."

As he spoke, Zi Chen fiddled with a jade carving on Bing 'er's neck. This was specially made by Zi Chen for Bing' er. As long as she spoke to the jade carving with her mind, she would be able to hear it.

"Got it. I'm already a True Energy Boundary expert. No one dares to provoke me." Bing 'er smiled.

During this month, Zi Chen helped Bing 'er increase her strength several times. At the same time, he used resources to change her aptitude and cleanse her marrow.

Originally, Bing 'er's aptitude was very poor. However, Zi Chen stubbornly used a lot of resources and his own perfect Yuan Power to change her aptitude. Now, Bing' er's aptitude was very high.

On the seventh day, Bing'er didn't bring Zi Chen with her when she went out. Instead, she brought along an intelligent white fox. A young and beautiful girl bringing along a white fox naturally attracted a lot of attention, and many people turned their heads to look at them.

In the room, Zi Chen took out the Mortal Origin Fruit. It flashed with a green light, and the power of law flashed on it from time to time.

The Demon Ape had already swallowed the Mortal Origin Fruit and was in a deep sleep. It seemed that it could only refine things quickly when it was in a deep sleep.

Zi Chen took out the Mortal Origin Fruit and swallowed it without hesitation. After the Mortal Origin Fruit entered his stomach, it turned into a pure liquid. This liquid emitted a green light and contained the power of law.

Although the Mortal Origin Realm was still within the range of humans, it was already the pinnacle of the human realm. This kind of existence could touch upon the power of law. The reason why the Mortal Origin Fruit could help people break through to the next realm was because of the power of law it contained.

Zi Chen felt as if a ball of fire had ignited in his stomach. This fire was roasting and refining this ball of power of law. For Zi Chen, this was destined to be a long journey of refinement.

This was because before the Mortal Origin Fruit was completely refined, Zi Chen needed to perfect his strength, Yuan Power, and spiritual sense. Then, he would absorb the power of law to evolve and reach the Mortal Origin Realm.

Just as Zi Chen was refining the Mortal Origin Fruit, the other forces finally found out about Zi Chen's location through certain channels.

"The Bedlam Lands, such a trashy place, actually produced such a unique existence."

Although they were extremely disdainful of the Bedlam Lands, after finding out about Zi Chen's location, a group of experts from various forces headed towards the Bedlam Lands. This time, the leaders were two mid-stage Mortal Origin Realm experts.

Back on the ancient road, due to the suppression of the power of law, those who appeared were all early-stage Mortal Origin Realm experts. But in the outside world, there was no need to suppress one's realm, so the various forces naturally sent out stronger people.

However, they didn't have any hope of finding Zi Chen's group in the Bedlam Lands because they had received reliable news that Zi Chen was dead. Now, many people were searching for Zi Chen's body in the western region.

After entering the transportation array, they finally arrived at the Bedlam Lands. The first to arrive was the Jin Family. After asking a person, they went straight to the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion in the outer region.

On this day, many cultivators saw cultivators flying over their heads in the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion's market.

Seeing these cultivators, their faces instantly changed. "Who are these people? How dare they! Don't they know that the market is forbidden to fly?"

These people were very fast, flying over the market. By the time the Dan Yuan guarding the market reacted and intercepted them, the group of eight had already disappeared.

The eight of them appeared in the sky above the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion, their bodies surging with extremely powerful auras. The eight of them naturally didn't care about a sect founded by a mere Dan Yuan. But when they arrived and saw the Sect Protecting Formation, their faces were filled with shock, and at the same time, they became more serious.

"Their formation skills aren't weak, and this Sect Protecting Formation is extraordinary," a Mortal Origin Realm expert said.

"It is indeed extraordinary, but it's effective against early-stage Mortal Origin Realm experts. It's ineffective against mid-stage Mortal Origin Realm experts," the middle-aged leader said coldly.

"Who are you? Why have you come to the Heavenly Barbarian Pavilion?" At this moment, a cold voice came from below.

"Ask Zi Chen to come out, or we'll slaughter the entire sect," a Mortal Origin Realm expert said coldly.

"Pavilion Master Zi Chen isn't here. You can go back." The voice from below was even more direct.

"What an arrogant fellow." The middle-aged leader laughed coldly, then his body swayed and entered the Sect Protecting Formation.

He left, but his voice echoed, "After I break the formation, you guys go in and kill everyone. Don't leave anyone alive."

The others nodded in agreement, a cold light flashing in their eyes.

The formation below was activated, and clanging sounds could be heard continuously. Occasionally, the shouts of mid-stage Mortal Origin Realm experts could be heard.

Energy surged violently, and the entire formation was activated. The light of the formation was distorted.

The few Mortal Origin Realm experts above were laughing coldly. They were extremely confident in their companions.

However, after the fifth shout, the voice changed. It became anxious and hoarse.

But after the sixth shout, it turned into a blood-curdling scream. It was unusually mournful.

Following an even louder clanging sound, the seventh scream stopped abruptly. When the scream disappeared, so did the clanging sound. The distorted formation returned to normal.

Everything was normal, as if nothing had happened. But where were the people?

The other Mortal Origin Realm experts looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, they felt a sudden darkness above their heads, as if a black cloud had covered them.

When they raised their heads and saw the black shadow, their faces were filled with shock.
