Chapter 416 Kill! Kill! Kill! May your lifespan be ten thousand years, comparable to a Martial Saint
Chapter 416 Kill! Kill! Kill! May your lifespan be ten thousand years, comparable to a Martial Saint.
Six ferocious auras of monarch-level power, like six blood-red tornadoes, instantly tore apart the relatively "calm" blood mist inside the underground cavity.
Greed, rage, and a hint of desire for the intruder's abundant and pure life force mixed together into a tangible killing intent that completely engulfed the corner where Li Xijun was.
The first to attack was the giant ape demon that was closest to them and resembled a creature clad in heavy bone armor.
Its body is covered in grayish-white bony armor with jagged edges, and sharp bone spurs extend from its joints.
Faced with a "tiny" enemy, it didn't even bother to use any ranged attacks. It simply let out a deafening roar, and its fan-sized bone claws, wrapped in dark red corrosive energy, brought down with the terrifying force to crush mountains. Before the claw wind even arrived, the viscous blood-soaked ground below had already been pressed into a huge crater.
This claw strike is enough to crush ordinary Vajra Realm first or second stage martial artists into mincemeat, and even third or fourth stage experts would never dare to take it head-on.
However, Li Xijun simply stood still, without even looking up at the sky-covering bone claws.
The almost invisible dark golden luster around him flowed slightly. The true meaning of the "Indestructible Vajra Body" and the indestructible golden nature of the Seventh-Rank Great Vajra Realm were perfectly integrated, making his body seem to be no longer flesh and blood, but an immortal divine weapon that had undergone the creation of heaven and earth and been tempered by countless tribulations!
"boom--!!!"
The bone claw slammed solidly into Li Xijun's body!
The anticipated scene of carnage and bloodshed did not materialize.
Instead, a deep, resounding boom, like an ancient divine bell being struck by a giant hammer, came from above. The sound was heavy and long, making the entire cavity vibrate, and fragments of bone and dust fell from the dome.
A violent shockwave swept across the entire nest in a ring shape.
But Li Xijun herself remained completely still, not even a single strand of her hair was disheveled!
Those bone claws, powerful enough to tear apart stars and the earth's crust, seemed to have struck an invisible yet indestructible absolute barrier.
The dark red energy wrapped around the giant ape's demonic claws eroded it wildly, making a "hissing" sound, but it evaporated and dissipated instantly like water dripping into a furnace, without even shaking the dark golden luster in the slightest!
The bone claw itself even emitted a faint "crackling" sound due to the recoil.
For the first time, a human-like look of astonishment and confusion appeared in the giant ape demon's ferocious pupils.
It couldn't understand how this "little bug" could withstand its full-force attack without being harmed.
"The strength is acceptable, but unfortunately—it's too blunt."
Li Xijun's calm voice rang out.
He finally moved.
Without complicated moves or pre-charge animations, he simply raised his right arm, clenched his fingers, and threw a punch at the giant ape demon's chest covered in bone armor, which was right in front of him!
This punch was still simple and unadorned.
But just as he thrust his fist forward, a phantom figure wearing an imperial crown seemed to flash past behind him, and the true essence of the Emperor Dragon Fist erupted!
Wherever the fist's intent reached, it seemed as if the laws of this bloody and chaotic world had to submit to it and make way for it!
Even more terrifying is that what supports this domineering fist intent is Li Xijun's invincible physique, which has been optimized and strengthened by the "Indestructible Vajra Body" and has reached the seventh level of the Great Vajra Realm.
The boundless energy and blood surge like the Yangtze River, and the indestructible metal nature endows the fist with terrifying destructive power. Every subtle tremor of the muscles and bones transmits, amplifies, and explodes the power to the extreme!
Wherever the fist passed, the space groaned under its strain, rippling outwards in visible, transparent waves.
"puff!!!"
There were no earth-shattering explosions.
There was only one dull, penetrating sound, like a hot knife cutting into solidified butter!
The giant ape demon's gray-white bone armor, several feet thick and strong enough to withstand the bombardment of heavy energy cannons, was as fragile as paper in front of Li Xijun's fist. The force of the fist penetrated the bone armor without any hindrance, entered its chest, and blasted a bloody hole in it!
Broken bones, rotten flesh, and fragments of foul-smelling blue-purple blood and internal organs sprayed backward dozens of feet like a fountain!
The giant ape demon's massive body stiffened abruptly, the fierce light in its eyes instantly extinguished, replaced by endless terror and deathly silence.
It looked down at the gaping hole in its chest, seemingly wanting to raise its claws, but life had already receded like the tide.
"Boom!"
Its massive body tilted backward like a collapsing mountain or a jade pillar, crashing heavily onto the blood-soaked ground, sending up a massive wave of blood.
A mythical creature at the peak of the monarch level, renowned for its defense and strength, was killed instantly by a casual punch from Li Xijun!
Inside the cavity, there was a moment of deathly silence.
The other five monarch-level creatures were clearly stunned by this horrifying scene.
The giant ape demon's defense was among the best in the world, yet it was instantly killed by a single punch.
Just how terrifying was the physical strength of this intruder?
"Roar—!"
After a brief moment of shock came an even more frenzied rage and a hint of instinctive fear.
Without further hesitation, the five monsters launched their attacks simultaneously.
They realized that they had to join forces and use their strongest talents to have any chance of tearing this terrifying enemy apart.
The nine heads of the multi-headed serpent simultaneously spewed forth torrents of highly corrosive venom, soul-freezing frost breaths, and mind-disrupting shrieks, weaving a web of death that covered most of the space.
The bat-winged bone dragon spread its sky-covering bone wings, moving with ghostly speed, tracing a winding path above its cavity. With each flap of its wings, it scattered countless grayish-white bone powders containing withered and decaying matter, while simultaneously brewing an extremely intense and destructive beam of energy from its mouth.
The massive body of the flesh mountain monster split open with countless mouths filled with sharp teeth, emitting a deafening roar of devouring, forming a powerful suction field that attempted to pull and bind Li Xijun's movements. At the same time, it sprayed out countless incredibly tough fleshy tentacles with barbs and paralyzing toxins from its body, like thousands of venomous pythons strangling and attacking.
The other two, one resembling a giant metal beetle with a dark black-gold luster on its shell, charged headfirst at Li Xijun, creating sonic booms wherever it went.
The other is like a phantom formed from shadows, its form constantly flickering and splitting in the blood mist, launching deadly shadow blades from all sorts of tricky angles, targeting vital points.
Despite the terrifying attack coming from all directions, Li Xijun's expression remained unchanged.
He didn't even bother to look at the venom, frost, bone meal, tentacles, and shadow blades.
"Indestructible and impervious to all laws."
As he muttered to himself, the dark golden luster on his body suddenly became clearer, as if he were draped in a golden robe.
"Hiss hiss hiss—!"
The torrent of venom poured onto his body and instantly vaporized, leaving not a trace.
A frosty breath enveloped him, melting away within three feet of him.
The soul's shriek was like a gentle breeze across the hills, unable to shake his majestic spirit forged by the tribulations of lightning.
The withered bone dust fell onto the dark gold gauze robe and was bounced off like dust.
The fleshy tentacles wrapped around it, but made a teeth-grinding "crunching" sound. Not only could they not penetrate even a little bit, but they were also broken inch by inch by the counter-force contained in the golden body!
The shadowy blade pierced a vital spot, but it was like hitting a piece of divine iron, sparking a burst of sparks before it could slide away powerlessly.
As for the metal beetle's charge?
Li Xijun simply raised his left hand casually, opened his palm, and pushed it forward—
"clang--!!!"
Another resounding boom, like the grandest bell!
That savage, charging metal beetle, powerful enough to shatter a towering mountain, seemed to have collided with an ancient, unchanging star.
Its incredibly hard black-gold shell was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks centered on the point of contact!
The enormous reaction force brought it to an abrupt halt, its entire body trembling violently and emitting painful hissing sounds.
Absolute defensive crushing!
At the very moment he stopped the beetle's charge, Li Xijun's right hand moved.
The Night Emperor's sword embryo, as if forged from the night sky, appeared silently in his palm, emitting a dark and deadly sharpness.
He didn't look at the bat-winged bone dragon hovering overhead, brewing a destructive beam. Instead, he simply flicked his wrist slightly in the general direction of the dragon's location, and his sword slashed diagonally.
The Sword Chapter of Eternal Moment: A Fleeting Moment of Life!
There was no earth-shattering sword energy, only a pale silver, hair-thin sword light that seemed to dissipate into the blood-red air at any moment, which detached from the sword tip and quietly disappeared into the space in front.
The speed of this sword strike has transcended the realm of "fast," involving the manipulation of localized time flow.
In the perception and vision of the Bat-winged Bone Dragon, it had clearly locked onto Li Xijun, the destructive beam from its mouth was about to erupt, and it had even predicted the opponent's possible dodge trajectory.
However, in the "next instant" that the thought arose, the pale silver sword light seemed to have crossed the time barrier of the "present" from the future where it was in the "previous instant," and appeared out of thin air in front of its slender neck!
It didn't even have time to react, and the feeling of horror hadn't even fully arisen yet!
"Whoosh—!"
A soft sound, like a sharp blade slicing through the finest silk.
The ferocious head of the bat-winged skeletal dragon suddenly separated from its massive body!
The cut was as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been cut by the most precise instrument. The destructive beam that was halfway brewing in its mouth went out of control and exploded haphazardly in the dome of the cavity, blasting down countless fragments of rock.
The enormous bone wings flapped twice still out of habit, then, along with the headless dragon body, fell helplessly to the ground.
Only then did the pale silver sword light leave a very faint trail in the air, ripples of time, before slowly dissipating.
"roar!!!"
The flesh mountain monster roared in shock and rage, spewing out thicker poisonous mist and more powerful devouring ripples from its countless mouths. At the same time, its torn flesh tentacles regenerated wildly, becoming even thicker and stronger, with a metallic sheen on their surface, as it attacked once more.
It refused to believe this evil and was determined to devour Li Xijun completely!
Li Xijun finally turned his gaze to the writhing mountain of flesh.
A hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.
"Annoying."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Night Emperor Sword Embryo in his hand suddenly emitted a clear and melodious sword cry.
On the sword, silver fragments of time and gray-black sword intent of reincarnation rose up simultaneously, intertwining and entwining!
The fusion of "Eternal Moment of Time and Calamity Sword Chapter" and "Heavenly Cycle of Life and Death Sword Chapter" - Time Wheel Sword Slash!
Li Xijun remained motionless, simply slashing out with his sword at the flesh mountain demon.
This sword strike, seemingly slow, caused a bizarre superposition and distortion of the flow of time around the sword's trajectory at the very moment it was drawn!
The seemingly impenetrable and rapidly regenerating tentacles of the Flesh Mountain monster revealed countless tiny, fleeting "defensive gaps" in the face of the time-distorted sword light.
Even more terrifying is that the "cycle of life and death" contained in the Samsara Sword Intent has a natural restraint on beings like the Flesh Mountain Demon that rely on devouring and accumulating life force.
A flash of sword light streaked past.
There was no earth-shattering sound.
In an instant, more than a third of the flesh and tentacles on the massive body of the flesh mountain monster broke off simultaneously.
A huge, terrifying sword wound, almost splitting it in two, appeared on its bloated body, so deep that the bone was visible, and foul-smelling, bluish-purple blood gushed out like a waterfall.
The flesh mountain monster let out an extremely mournful howl, its aura instantly weakening by more than half. Its countless mouths twisted in pain, no longer daring to step forward, but instead crawling backward in fear.
At this moment, the metal beetle, still dazed from the shock, had just regained some consciousness. Seeing its companions being instantly killed or severely injured, the fear driven by its biological instinct finally overwhelmed its ferocity. It let out a sharp screech, turned around, and began to run wildly on all six legs, trying to escape this terrifying place.
"Trying to leave?"
Li Xijun's eyes were indifferent as he swung his sword again in the direction the beetle had fled.
This time, the sword light was no longer a pale silver, but rather a hazy gray, as if covered by the dust of time.
The Sword Chapter of Eternal Moment: Fleeting Beauty!
The speed of the sword light did not seem fast, and was even somewhat slow.
But strangely, no matter how the frantically fleeing metal beetle changed direction, accelerated, or decelerated, the hazy gray sword light always followed it like a shadow, steadily and unstoppably approaching it!
It was as if its escape "process" was invisibly lengthened, while the "result" of the sword light's arrival was predetermined.
This involves the "stagnation" and "inevitability" of time.
"Pfft!"
The hazy sword light finally caught up with the beetle, gliding past its relatively vulnerable abdominal joints.
The hard, black-gold shell, like a rock completely weathered by time, silently cracked open with a huge fissure.
The sword intent invaded its body, frantically destroying its vital structure.
The beetle let out a desperate cry, its charge abruptly halted, it staggered a few steps, and collapsed to the ground with a thud. Blue blood seeped from the cracks in its shell, and after twitching a few times, it lay still.
From the start of the war until now, only ten breaths have passed!
Of the six ferocious and powerful monarch-level mythical creatures, enough to make a human team of Vajra Realm experts take a serious look and even suffer heavy losses, four are dead and one is seriously injured!
The last remaining shadowy ghost was already terrified out of its wits.
Its most proficient shadow strikes were child's play in front of its opponent; even the most defensive beetle and the strongest giant ape were instantly killed, so where did it have any fighting spirit left?
Its body flickered, transforming into dozens of shadows that were difficult to distinguish from the real thing, and it frantically fled towards the various passages in the cavity.
Li Xijun was too lazy to even distinguish which one was the real body.
He stood with his sword in hand, his gaze sweeping over the fleeing shadows. He spoke slowly, his voice not loud, yet it seemed to echo with the passage of time, resonating in every corner of his body: "Time is like a river, and all things are in its flow. Escape? But where can one escape to?"
He raised the Night Emperor Sword Embryo high, its tip pointing towards the dome of the cavity.
A tremendous surge of divine soul power erupted!
In the face of his divine soul, which was at the second level of the lightning tribulation, such concealment and escape were completely meaningless.
"I've found you."
He aimed at the location of the true form and, from a distance, gently stabbed it.
The Night Emperor Sword Embryo flew out of his hand, transforming into a dazzling silver light shuttle that seemed to have been condensed from a segment of the river of time. Ignoring the distance in space and the disguise of the shadow, it appeared behind the true form of the shadow in an instant!
"Well----"
The shadowy, ghostly figure suddenly solidified, revealing a distorted, humanoid silhouette that resembled a condensed shadow.
It looked down at the sword tip, shimmering with fragments of time, protruding from its chest, its eyes filled with endless bewilderment and incomprehension.
It never understood how it was locked on, or how the sword could cross space and be so sure to hit it.
The Night Emperor Sword Embryo trembled slightly, unleashing the Samsara Sword Intent, completely annihilating the last bit of life force in this shadowy being.
Li Xijun beckoned, and the Night Emperor Sword Embryo transformed into a stream of light and flew back into his hand.
His gaze calmly fell upon the last, heavily wounded and weakened monster, which was secretly wriggling toward the Bloodborne altar.
Without further ado, he swung his sword.
A golden sword light, combining the speed of "in an instant" and the domineering power of "ruling the world," swept across the massive body of the flesh mountain demon like a judgment descended by the Heavenly Emperor.
"boom!"
Before the flesh-mountain monster could even let out a scream, it was detonated from within by the domineering sword intent, blasting into countless foul-smelling pieces of flesh and blood. The bluish-purple blood stained the large area of blood-soaked ground even more filthy.
Inside the cavity, deathly silence returned.
Only the lingering energy ripples, the slowly drifting blood mist, and six enormous corpses of varying shapes but all devoid of life silently recounted the brief yet incredibly shocking massacre that had just taken place.
The life essence and blood energy, so rich it seemed to permeate the air, emanated from these corpses, even causing the pulsation of the central "blood source" to accelerate slightly.
Li Xijun slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and the dark golden luster around her completely subsided.
Behind him, the magnificent cavity constructed from countless biological skeletons and blood plasma resembled a giant tomb, burying six once-powerful monarch-level mythical creatures, and also witnessing the terrifying combat power of a seventh-level Vajra who possessed the Vajra Indestructible Body and the Sword Intent of Time.
For him, this battle was perhaps just a warm-up and a reaping of the rewards.
But for this cruel world of blood-red kun, this is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous signal; an even more terrifying and efficient "predator" has arrived.
Li Xijun turned his gaze to the pearl that was radiating an unprecedented warm luster, with what seemed to be a sea of blood surging inside.
The immense life force that dissipated after the fall of the monarch-level mythical creature is being devoured and siphoned off by it with astonishing efficiency.
A moment later, the blood droplet trembled slightly, transmitting the first wave of feedback.
A vast, pure, and vibrant warm current, like a galaxy bursting open, surged along the meridians of Li Xijun's arm into his limbs, bones, and internal organs.
