You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

The blood that had just spilled out was evaporated into blood vapor by the high temperature at the wound! If it weren't for the purple lightning that erupted from the Xuan Tie Fork forming a protective aura that instantly wore away most of the sword energy's erosion, these few sword strikes would have been enough to severely injure him!
The excruciating pain, like steel needles piercing his brain, ironically stimulated Chen Yang's concentration to an unprecedented degree.

Using the immense force of the sword strike, his body, like a leaf swept up by a whirlwind, was violently thrown backward at an incredible angle! At the same time, he gripped the trident handle tightly with both hands, the trident tip rapidly hooking through the air!
"Profound Mystery - Thunder Screen!"

"Zzz—Boom!"

Three enormous, rhomboid lightning shields, interwoven with leaping, deep purple lightning, instantly appeared in front of him and on his left and right sides! Countless tiny, mysterious runes leaped across the shield surfaces, emanating an aura of isolation and destruction!

"Bang bang bang-!"

The subsequent barrage of dark red sword light slammed into the lightning shield! A blinding light exploded, and the energy shockwave visibly spread! Chen Yang's body trembled violently, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. Under the continuous bombardment of several dark red sword lights, the tough lightning shield began to crack inch by inch, and it looked like it was about to collapse!

The ground beneath his feet shattered instantly, and he used the momentum to rush backward once more!

These people's strength, speed, and destructive power completely overwhelmed the enemy from before!

That so-called "fourth-generation source essence potion" probably directly uses the physical potential of a "True Immortal" level body, along with the Dao imprint, as fuel for a violent burning and catalysis! Seeking only a brief, inhuman, and extreme destructive power!
Try to withstand it? Forget about killing them, you'd be lucky to last even ten breaths!
"Brother Yang! Lead them into the market! Guide them in!"

Li Rou's cold and urgent shout exploded like thunder in her mind!
"The outside is their home turf! Once we're on our turf, with the added advantage of spatial pressure, we'll have a better chance of winning!"

Enter the Sumeru Realm!

This is the only way to survive!
The thought flashed through my mind.

Without hesitation, Chen Yang used the recoil from deflecting several sword lights again to transform into a streak of purple lightning and shoot off towards the depths of the mountains, far away from Baicao Shenghui Company!

He didn't engage in a fight with the sixteen white figures behind him at all. With each backward leap, he increased his speed to the extreme, leaving a long purple trail in the dense forest!

"Want to run?"

Beneath the black-clad mask of the leader, a cruel, playful glint flashed in his crimson vertical pupils, like a cat hunting a mouse.

"Chase!"

A sudden burst of dark blue shockwaves erupted behind the sixteen figures! The heavy bone armor suddenly became as light as a feather!
With each step they took, the ground beneath their feet silently cracked, yet their figures tore through the air like white lightning, unleashing terrifying mobility far exceeding Chen Yang's maximum burst speed! The distance between them rapidly shortened in an instant!
A strong wind howled across my cheeks, cutting my skin and causing a dull ache.

The men in black had already begun their encirclement, their dark red energy sword lights like a persistent, piercing blade, relentlessly pursuing Chen Yang's rapidly dodging figure! The situation was fraught with danger!
"Uncle Li...has...already retreated far away..."

Chen Yang gasped for breath, forcibly suppressing his surging blood and his worry for Uncle Li.

"These puppets can't catch him!"

A resolute glint flashed in his eyes as he roared at Li Rou, who was following closely behind him.

"Help me break through the void barrier! It's just ahead at the Three-Forked Valley Pass! Hurry!"

Sancha Valley is one of the most complex terrain areas in this mountainous region, surrounded by mountains on three sides, like a giant natural pocket.

"Now!"

Li Rou's concentration was like a mountain roaring and a tsunami crashing down!

Chen Yang, who was speeding along, suddenly turned around and faced the sixteen white-clad pursuers who were as fast as lightning and followed him like shadows!

He gripped the Soul-Splitting Iron Fork with both hands, as if he were holding a giant pestle that could summon thunder from heaven and earth! Veins bulged on his forehead, and he roared, his voice piercing through metal and splitting stone.

"Mysterious and Subtle Cavern! Open!!"

This time, what erupted was not purple lightning! Instead, it was a chaotic, ethereal, and utterly dark light that seemed capable of devouring all light! It suddenly exploded from between his brows!

The mysterious light spread like ink dripping into clear water, instantly expanding into a slowly rotating, pitch-black vortex several meters in diameter in the space before him! Chaotic mist swirled around the edge of the vortex, within which phantom images of stars appearing and disappearing flashed by!
A vast, ancient, yet extremely oppressive gravitational field suddenly appeared!

This sudden change brought the black-clad armored warriors at the forefront of the charge to an abrupt halt!

Their crimson vertical pupils behind their visors suddenly contracted, filled with apprehension! Intuition was frantically reminding them.

That dark vortex ahead is extremely dangerous! It's a spatial trap!

"Playing tricks!"

Although the leader in black was also surprised and suspicious, he had absolute confidence in the strength of his sixteen fourth-generation "Source Warriors"!
His hoarse voice carried a hint of sarcasm.

"A mere small-space secret technique! Trying to lure us into a trap? Today we'll raze this dilapidated cave to the ground! Chase him in! Kill him!"

The order has been issued!

The sixteen white figures paused only briefly before charging fearlessly into the ominous black vortex with a destructive aura!
The scene before my eyes changed in an instant!
The lush forests, the howling mountain winds, the stars in the night sky... all the senses are instantly stripped away!

An indescribable pressure suddenly descended upon each of the black-clad warriors! It was as if every inch of their armor was bearing the weight of a ten-thousand-ton mountain!

Their rapid advance suddenly plummeted! The energy of the fourth-generation source essence potion circulating wildly within their bodies became like a frozen torrent, its flow becoming extremely difficult and sluggish!

The propulsion shockwave behind the gene armor was instantly extinguished! The dark red energy driving the bone sword within their bodies went berserk, backfiring on them, and many warriors spat out blood with black specks of light from under their visors!
"Not good! The Dao is suppressing us!"

"The rules of space have been distorted! It's a domain! The domain laws of a high-level blessed land!"

The leader of the men in black instantly realized the enormity of the situation!
For the first time, his hoarse voice showed violent fluctuations and shock!

He suddenly turned around and looked towards the entrance!

Just as the black vortex was about to completely dissipate, Chen Yang's figure slid in like a fish.

The moment he entered, the pitch-black vortex suddenly contracted and solidified! It transformed into a talisman emitting a faint mystical light, constantly vibrating as if trying to break free, which Chen Yang caught in his hand!
The vortex vanished completely! The path connecting us to the outside world was severed! All that remained was this unfamiliar, oppressive world that made it hard to breathe.

Welcome!

Chen Yang stood on a huge gray-white rock. His wounds healed rapidly under the strange spatial power, and his breathing quickly became steady.

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips as he looked down at the sixteen white tin cans below, whose formation had become slightly chaotic due to the sudden onslaught of pressure.

"My hunting grounds."

"Damn it! So what if it's sealed off! Once we've destroyed you, the master of this formation, breaking through this space will be a piece of cake! Kill him!"

The leader of the men in black suppressed his unease and roared furiously! He raised his bone sword first, and the dark red sword light tried its best to penetrate the spatial suppression, shooting out once again! The other black-clad warriors also roared, trying to adapt to the oppressive environment, and launched another attack!
However, Chen Yang didn't confront them head-on at all!

He watched the massive figures, their speed suddenly reduced and their steps faltering as they charged toward the rocks, and merely smiled coldly before vanishing from their spot in a flash!
They reappeared hundreds of meters away, deep within a forest of strangely shaped rocks shrouded in a thin mist! The rocks were jagged and bizarre, emanating a faint power that could interfere with perception.

"Chase him! Don't let him get away!"

The black-clad warriors roared and stumbled after them.

The moment they stepped into the stone forest area, their vision was instantly enveloped by a thick, grayish-white fog! The air became incredibly viscous! Their powerful divine sense detection ability was suppressed to a range of less than ten meters around them!

The eerie white mist not only obstructed vision, but could even faintly absorb life essence and primordial energy! Worst of all, the sixteen members of the group had their fragile formation suddenly severed the moment they rushed into the stone forest!
"what happened?"

"Captain! Coordinates! Report the coordinates!"

"Damn it! The communicator is malfunctioning! Even the spiritual communication is being interfered with!"

The communication channels built into the visor were now only filled with a harsh, buzzing electrical noise that indicated the energy was contaminated!
Panic, like a cold, venomous snake, crept into the hearts of these "Source Warriors" who had undergone cruel modifications and were supposed to be ruthless and emotionless for the first time!

They stumbled around in the dense fog and stone forest like headless flies, taking each step cautiously, afraid of triggering some unknown trap.

Scattered! Forcibly divided by this bizarre space!
At the very center of the Stone Forest stands an ancient megalithic altar.

Chen Yang's figure slowly materialized.

Beside him, Li Rou's illusory figure appeared, her beautiful and cold face carrying a hint of composure as if she were in complete control.

"The prey is in the cage, Yang. Time to start the hunt."

Her voice echoed directly in Chen Yang's mind.

Chen Yang stretched his limbs, feeling the almost endless power he felt under the blessing of his own cave heaven laws.

He looked down at the vast stone forest beneath his feet, where eerie white mist swirled, and a sinister flame burned in his eyes as he grinned.

"it is good."

What followed was a silent massacre, or more accurately, a harvest, that took place in the Stone Forest.

Guided by Li Rou, the master of space, Chen Yang discerned every change in the stone forest. A lone black-clad warrior was struggling to extend the shield of his mecha, carefully navigating among the jagged rocks, trying to find his companions.

suddenly!

The shadow beneath his feet suddenly came to life! Black thorny vines, solidified into a tangible form, abruptly wrapped around his heavy iron boots! Even more terrifying, a tremendous repulsive force originating from space itself suddenly pressed down on him!

"Crack!"

Shield shattered!

"Ugh!"

The sound of bones cracking was accompanied by a muffled groan of pain!
The moment he lost his balance and crashed heavily onto the rocks, a shadow enveloped in purple lightning, moving at an indescribable speed, appeared above his head as if by teleportation!
The Soul-Splitting Iron Fork, imbued with pure annihilation, pierced through the head protected by the sturdy mask with simple brutality! A flash of deep purple lightning, along with the core of the "True Immortal Furnace" inside, exploded into a burst of fireworks mixed with bone fragments, charred flesh and tissue fluid! The heavy bone armor crashed to the ground with a thud.

One strike, one kill! Even the remnant soul was completely annihilated by the Soul-Splitting Power emanating from the fork!

The whole process was fast, ruthless, and decisive!

In another direction, two armored warriors finally met up, back to back, the dark red light on their bone swords struggling to create a small area, dispelling the thick white mist.

"This won't do! Retreat first! Find the entrance and force it open!"

One of them spoke urgently, his vertical pupils behind the mask filled with anxiety.

The other person nodded.

"Okay! I..."

Before they could finish speaking, the thick gray fog above their heads suddenly began to swirl! The power of space was violently squeezing and tearing apart! It was as if an invisible giant hand was forcibly twisting the spatial structure here!

"Oh no! Spatial shift!"

The two tried to steady themselves, and even tried to use their bone swords to cut through the spatial constraints, but the enormous squeezing force was far beyond their current ability to resist!

Just as the two were forcibly twisted and turned, and separated from each other after losing their support, the white mist seemed to be cleaved open by a sharp blade!

Chen Yang's figure, bathed in lightning, burst forth from the crack in the mist! Without any fancy moves, the Xuan Tie Fork instantly transformed into hundreds of lightning shadows! Like a raging storm! It completely enveloped one of the armored warriors who was struggling against the spatial distortion and whose body was unsteady!

"Clang! Crack! Boom!!!"

The dense, cannon-like impacts and the final, enormous roar rang out almost simultaneously!

The unfortunate fellow's bone armor shield didn't even last half a second before being torn apart by endless lightning shadows! The raging lightning forks frantically pierced into the armor's interior!
A piercing scream, so shrill it was almost inhuman, pierced the thick fog for a few seconds before abruptly ceasing! The armored warrior and his "furnace" core were blasted into countless burning, purple-flame-filled fragments and charred, smoldering flesh!
The last remaining soldier was utterly terrified! The horrific sight of his comrade turning to dust in an instant completely broke him!
He even lost the courage to raise his sword to fight back. With a strange cry, he turned around and fled frantically in the direction of his instincts!

The heavy genetic armor moved like a whack-a-mole with every step, but it was also pitifully slow under the spatial suppression.

He had only rushed out a dozen meters when a chaotic streak of light, like the most vicious whip, swept across his ankle out of thin air! It was Li Rou's mental attack!

"Snapped!"

The bony nail covering the ankle shattered instantly!
He fell heavily to the ground!
Before he could even struggle to his feet, a pair of iron boots covered in deep purple arcs of electricity slammed down on his back with tremendous force!
"Crack! Bang!"

The heavy bone armor and the bones inside emitted a terrifying cracking sound at the same time!
He felt as if he had been hit by a collapsing mountain, and a sweet and foul liquid gushed out of his mouth and nose, his internal organs were ruptured!
"Uh...please..."

The gurgling sound of pleading for mercy was only half-finished.

The cold tip of the fork was already pressed against the seam between the armor and helmet at the back of his neck! Destructive lightning power surged wildly into him through the gap!

His head exploded like a lit firework, along with half of his body, with a muffled bang!

The grayish-white mist continued to flow silently, slowly engulfing the bloody stench and remnants of destruction that permeated the battlefield. Screams, shouts, and the roars of colliding energies... all gradually thinned and weakened, eventually fading into deathly silence. (End of Chapter)
