Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie was walking ahead, observing the situation in front and the surrounding area, never expecting Jian Chen to transmit such words to him.

"You are quite clever," Jun Shen responded with divine sense. "If what you say is your true intention, and your actions match your words, I believe you will not regret your wise choice in the end."

Jian Chen was rendered speechless upon hearing this.

This Jun Wuxie was too confident and assertive.

"Brother Jun, to be honest, this great era is very special. I understand some things and have heard certain secrets. If darkness sweeps in the future, this universe and our universe may both find it difficult to escape. At that time, we may have to fight side by side. Therefore, I don't want to lose a future comrade unless it's absolutely necessary."

"I like people with a sense of the bigger picture. You're right, a torrent of darkness will indeed sweep in the future. When that time comes, it will be the darkest era since ancient times."

Saying this, Jun Wuxie turned his head to look at the five people, before turning back to continue forward, his divine sense voice entering Jian Chen's ears: "I knew that when you people arrived, you would have thoughts of dealing with me. Do you know why I haven't attacked you?"

"Why? Are you afraid that if we join forces, you won't get the better of us?"

Jian Chen asked this because, in his opinion, there seemed to be no other reason to explain it.

"Because I'm waiting for you to give me a reason to attack, like Wang Zeyu did. I need a reason to kill, so that it aligns with my principles of killing, and I can do it without any psychological burden. It's a pity that you not only haven't made a move, but you haven't even shown any hostility."

"A pity?" Jian Chen's mouth twitched slightly. "What do you mean by that, Brother Jun? It sounds like you really want to kill us?"

"No, I'm not particularly interested in your lives, but I am very interested in your ancient blood origins."

"You!"

Upon hearing this, Jian Chen exclaimed in shock, pointing at Jun Wuxie, who was leading the way, his eyes sharp and his face full of anger.

When he first arrived, he did have designs on Jun Wuxie's treasures and opportunities. Although he intended to snatch them, he had never thought of killing anyone.

Now, he had taken the initiative to express that he no longer had that intention, but he never expected the other party to say something that made his spine tingle.

This Jun Wuxie was actually eyeing their ancient blood origins!

"Brother Jian Chen, what's wrong?"

Di Hui looked at him in surprise.

"Second Brother, what's going on?" Jian Xu looked at Jian Chen and then at Jun Wuxie. Dugu Ruyan on the Eight-Headed Barren Serpent also looked at them, with expressions of doubt in their eyes.

"It's nothing."

Jian Chen didn't reveal the truth, which made the others even more puzzled. They all guessed that he was secretly talking to Jun Wuxie about something, which caused him to suddenly lose his composure.

"Brother Jun, what do you mean! Are you openly telling me that you want to kill us and extract our ancient blood origins?"

Jian Chen walked behind Jun Wuxie, his face very unsightly, his pupils filled with anger.

"I said, I'm not interested in your lives, unless you want to kill me, then you're just courting death. As for the ancient blood origins, I don't need much. When the time comes, I'd like to ask you for some, and it shouldn't cause too much damage to them. I'll trade you something for it."

Hearing this reply, the expression on Jian Chen's face softened a little, and he said, "What do you need our ancient blood origins for?"

"There's someone very important to me who was severely injured in the past, leaving behind hidden ailments. Now is the time when it must be resolved as soon as possible. A large amount of high-quality ancient blood origin is just what's needed to repair her hidden ailments and restore her to her original state."

Jian Chen pondered slightly upon hearing this, and then exclaimed in anger, "So, you deliberately let those two people go back to report, wanting to attract more powerful ancient blood possessors here?"

"That's right."

Jun Wuxie didn't hide anything.

"You're a madman! I don't know what confidence and reliance you have, Brother Jun. You should know that as things continue to develop, they will only become more and more out of your control. You're playing with fire. You can deal with peerless talents of this generation, but how will you deal with cultivators of the previous generation? Also, since you want ancient blood origins, why did you easily let those talents leave before? Their ancient blood is also not weak, and its grade is very high, exactly what you need."

"There were too many people, and they were too scattered. I couldn't catch them all in one fell swoop, and it would have startled the snake. After they left, many of them would definitely send messages back to their respective sects or families. I estimate that in a few days, more powerful people will arrive, and then they will come looking for me. So, I'm not making a move for the time being, but that doesn't mean I've given up on their ancient blood origins."

"Crazy, you're really crazy!"

Jian Chen didn't expect this Jun Wuxie to be so crazy. So many young talents had come this time, and he actually wanted to attract cultivators of the previous generation.

"Why tell me all these things one by one? Aren't you afraid that I'll leak your intentions, Brother Jun?"

"Leak them to whom? Send the message back to your sect or family, and have your people tell others? Or, when you encounter those young talents, will you secretly tell them the news? I'm afraid, even if you tell them, they won't believe it."

Jian Chen was silent.

Jun Wuxie was right. If he sent the message back, the higher-ups of the family would most likely not tell other forces, because they were superficially harmonious but actually in competition.

And if he secretly informed those young talents when he encountered them, would those people believe him?

Not to mention those people, even he himself found it difficult to imagine what Jun Wuxie was relying on to deal with cultivators of the previous generation.

In a short period of time, it would definitely be difficult to make those people believe it.

"Besides, I believe you wouldn't do that."

Of course, Jun Wuxie didn't just tell him all this after the analysis mentioned above.

Firstly, he wasn't afraid that Jian Chen would leak it, and secondly, when Jian Chen's inner emotions were very strong before, he used Linglong Shijie's Saint Ancestor realm divine sense to see Jian Chen's truest thoughts.

Just as Jian Chen had said, he did understand some secrets of the dark turmoil, and he also knew that this era was the most prosperous great era, and also the end of the world that might completely end civilization.

Therefore, his sentence that he didn't want to lose a future comrade was heartfelt.

Jun Wuxie hadn't sensed any hostility in his heart at that time, but rather saw the curiosity in his heart.

"There's an ancient teleportation array there!"

Jian Xu's voice interrupted Jian Chen's thoughts. He looked up and saw that not far ahead, there was a small square, very old and covered in dust.

In the center of the small square was an ancient teleportation array, in a state of dormancy. The rune stone pillars around the teleportation array were covered in cobwebs.

The wide street was very quiet, with only the creaking sounds of the broken doors and windows on both sides of the street being blown by the wind. In this silent city, it seemed particularly harsh.

Gusts of cold wind blew past, somewhat eerie, with a rotten smell, making people feel uncomfortable.

"It's strange. Looking at the architecture of this city, it should have been very prosperous before, and there must have been many people living here. These houses have not been damaged by external forces, but have been eroded by the years. It's as if the people of this city left very calmly."

Di Hui had been looking at the situation on both sides of the street all the way, feeling very puzzled.

"The people in this city have not left. They are still here to this day."

Jun Wuxie said this, causing the five people behind him to be stunned, and then inexplicably shivered.

They almost simultaneously looked at the houses on both sides of the street, with expressions of surprise and suspicion in their eyes.

This city was very strange and special. There were mysterious laws flowing, obscuring their divine sense from detecting any buildings in the city.

Therefore, they didn't know what the scenes were inside those houses.

Jun Wuxie's soul realm was higher, and he could vaguely sense it.

Although it wasn't very clear, his divine sense still saw sealed coffins, as black as ink, in the buildings on both sides of the street.

There was something pasted on the surface of those coffins.

All the buildings along the way were like this.

Obviously, those coffins couldn't be empty coffins, and there must be people buried inside.

What exactly happened that made the people in this city sealed in coffins instead of being buried?

They came to the ancient teleportation array, and the six of them studied it carefully.

"It seems that it cannot be activated. Does anyone have a way to activate it?"

Zhao Wenting looked left and right, trying repeatedly, but the results were all failures.

The rest of the people were also the same.

"This is a dormant ancient array. The internal structure has already self-locked. Unless you have extremely profound rune Dao attainments, there is no way to open it."

Jun Wuxie came to this conclusion after looking at it with his rune Dao pupil technique.

"The teleportation array must lead to other spaces, but it has fallen silent…"

Jian Chen frowned and then shook his head and sighed.

"There are other roads. I looked at the layout of this city before, and I can roughly see that there are many layouts like this square in the city, and there is a large square in the middle. Perhaps, there is an ancient teleportation array on each square."

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he continued to walk along the long, wide street.

The five people followed closely behind him. Along the way, they kept looking at the houses on both sides of the street, feeling very curious about the situation inside.

Di Hui couldn't bear it any longer. Keeping a certain distance, he waved his sleeve and blew open all the damaged doors and windows of several houses.

His energy was very strong, not only blowing open the outer doors, but also blowing open the doors inside.

Suddenly, the inner courtyards of those houses were revealed, with one to dozens of black coffins parked in each inner courtyard.

Buddhist talismans were pasted on the coffins, but the Buddhist light on the talismans had long disappeared.

In the middle of the inner courtyard, there was a very large magic formation. The rune of the magic formation was dark red, and it was flashing at this time.

Black Yin Sha Qi lingered on those coffins, constantly sinking into the ground and being absorbed by the magic formation.

At this moment, for some unknown reason, the baleful aura emanating from the coffin suddenly intensified.

“Not good, did I mess things up with my meddling hands?”

Seeing the anomalies in the coffins and the runes of the formation in the courtyard glowing intensely, Di Hui realized he might have stirred up trouble.

“What do you think?”

Dugu Ruyan shot a cold glance at Di Hui, her usual enchanting demeanor gone, her eyes flashing with an eerie light, her expression solemn.

“Quick… …Quick, let’s go!”

Jun Wuxie used his Fudao pupil technique, merging the Primordial True Pupil and the Fiery Golden Eyes, observing for a moment. His gaze shifted from those houses to the other houses, and considering the city's overall structure and layout, his heart skipped a beat. He immediately moved away quickly.

The five hurriedly followed.

“Brother Jun, what did you see?”

They were somewhat shaken. After Di Hui kicked open the doors of those houses, a sense of unease inexplicably arose in their hearts, lingering and refusing to dissipate.

“See for yourselves!”

Jun Wuxie looked up at the dim moon in the sky, inscribed runes, and evolved a formation, striking it into the high sky.

The formation flashed and disappeared, but immediately afterward, the lines of moonlight became exceptionally clear.

Without the formation, the moonlight seemed unremarkable, very even.

But now it was completely different. All the lunar yin energy within the moonlight was gathered into beams, each shining into the houses within the city, and judging by their position, all were in the inner courtyard.

“This… …Gathering the moon's yin energy, could it be because of those corpses?”

They felt horrified. Such methods were extraordinary.

Forcibly stripping away the moon's yin energy and gathering it into beams was not an ordinary feat.

“Yin-Shattered Corpse Raising Formation, gathering the moon's yin energy and the corpse's baleful aura, to nurture the main corpse!”

Jun Wuxie said this while maintaining his fast pace without stopping.

He didn't know about the Yin-Shattered Corpse Raising Formation before. It was Linglong who told him, saying it was a very evil corpse-raising method.

It was said that this corpse-raising method had been lost long ago, and it wasn't even found in the Dark Dao methods.

People from the Dark Dao faction had tried to find this method, but they spent a long time, searching generation after generation, without finding any trace of it.

“This Yin-Shattered Corpse Raising Formation…”

“Don't ask for now, follow me!”

Jun Wuxie interrupted them, his pace suddenly quickening.

He didn't stop to check if he could activate any of the ancient teleportation formations they passed along the way.

They headed directly towards the large plaza in the center of the city.

“Look!”

While running, Jian Chen pointed to the sky above the houses in the city.

Above those houses, dense black yin-shattered aura rose, rising from the inner courtyards of the houses, faster and faster, all condensing into black yin-shattered clouds.

The environment of the entire city became even more sinister, making people feel cold all over, goosebumps rising on their skin, and the yin wind blowing as if pouring into people's bones, bone-chillingly cold.

“Hiss!”

The Eight-Headed Barren Serpent began to become violent.

The dense yin-shattered aura here had a great impact on it, stimulating it and causing strong negative emotions in its heart.

In its snake eyes, fierce light blazed, its gaze gradually becoming crazy, and its eight snake heads constantly swayed.

“Eight Heads, be quiet, please be quiet, be quiet…”

Dugu Ruyan condensed a giant true essence palm to gently stroke Eight Heads's head.

Although the Eight-Headed Barren Serpent didn't move as violently, its gaze was still bloodthirsty and manic.

“Your Barren Serpent is not suitable here.”

Jun Wuxie glanced back, and a Six-Yang True Lotus rushed out from his body, swaying above him, the light of the Six Yangs illuminating the surroundings and dispelling the yin-shattered aura.

The Eight-Headed Barren Serpent was also shrouded, preventing the yin-shattered aura from continuing to enter its body, and it gradually calmed down.

“Put it away!”

Jun Wuxie said to Dugu Ruyan again.

Dugu Ruyan looked at the increasingly abundant yin-shattered aura between heaven and earth and no longer hesitated, putting the Eight-Headed Barren Serpent into her battle pet space.

At this moment, their hearts were all filled with horror.

In a short period of time, the yin-shattered aura had become so terrifying, what did this mean?

Was the nurtured main corpse about to revive?

At the same time, seeing Jun Wuxie's Six-Yang True Lotus, they were also shocked beyond words.

Such a thing, one Yang was hard to find in the world, two Yangs were rare in eternity, and three Yangs were unimaginable.

Jun Wuxie actually possessed the Six-Yang True Lotus!

What kind of person was he?

He had a mythical-level battle beast by his side, his own strength was ridiculously strong, he could kill myths across great realm barriers, he seemed to be a Fushu Master, and now he took out the Six-Yang True Lotus.

It was too incredible.

How prosperous must this person's luck be?

Not to mention his unfathomable abilities, just his prosperous luck alone made it as difficult as ascending to heaven to deal with him.

The Child of Fortune was very difficult to kill unless there was someone with comparable luck, or someone with slightly weaker luck but a much stronger background, who was willing to pay a huge price to gather a crowd to attack.

They increasingly realized that such a person was only suitable for making friends, not for making enemies.

Making friends might bring some benefits, but making enemies would probably leave no bones behind!
