Even Luo Cheng, whose temperament was as firm as iron, couldn’t help but feel solemn when he saw the mountains and fields full of corpses.
Moreover, only a portion of the bodies remained intact. Many more people died without leaving a whole body, just pieces of flesh and bloody mud, with no bones left!
"It is said that back when the Blood Nether Sect dominated the Yunlan Domain Group, city massacres and sect exterminations were commonplace. Ordinary people were kept like blood livestock, used for refining blood pills, treasures, and spiritual medicine, killed at will..."
"The strong reign supreme. Only with formidable strength can you survive in this world..."
For the first time, Luo Cheng experienced the harshness of survival.
Many times, it’s either you die or I perish, with no other path to take!
Taking a deep breath, Luo Cheng chose a direction and rushed towards the top of the mountain.
As soon as his foot landed on the mountain, Luo Cheng suddenly felt a momentary stagnation in the circulation of the essence energy within his body!
This feeling vanished in an instant, and if it weren’t for Luo Cheng’s strong soul power and the premonition of abnormalities alerting him, he might not have noticed!
Luo Cheng’s brows slightly furrowed, this momentary stagnation of essence energy usually wasn’t a big deal, but at a critical life-and-death moment, it could be the final straw that breaks the camel’s back, enough to rob you of your life!
Luo Cheng immediately released his soul power, carefully investigating, and immediately sensed a vaguely hidden force within the mountain body.
Under the influence of this force, the essence blood from countless corpses continuously seeped and converged into the mountain.
"Strange! So strange!"
Luo Cheng was ten percent sure that there was definitely something hidden within this mountain, and this unknown shadow made him inexplicably feel a terrifying sense of oppression.
Spurring his sword intent, Luo Cheng slashed away these negative emotions cleanly, then looked towards the mountain peak.
The blood energy was flowing upwards, no matter what was here, all would be revealed at the peak!
"Jie Jie! Kid, you still dare to daydream here, die!"
A Blood Nether Sect disciple saw that Luo Cheng was young and standing there stiffly, assuming he was a fledgling scared silly by the bloody battlefield, laughed evilly, and struck at Luo Cheng with a palm.
Luo Cheng turned his gaze slowly, flicking his finger.
The Blood Nether Sect disciple rushed two steps forward, feeling his body growing lighter and losing control, a chill at his forehead. When he touched it, he actually felt a hole!
"Kid, you’re courting death!"
Two Third Layer Awakening Vein Realm Blood Nether Sect disciples flashed over, attacking Luo Cheng from the left and right.
Luo Cheng ignored them, executing the Mist Shadow Step, his entire being like a flickering shadow, slipped between the two.
The two Blood Nether Sect disciples hadn’t even realized what happened when their bodies were suddenly torn apart, blood and viscera spilling everywhere.
"There’s a tough one here! Everyone together, get rid of him first!"
The surrounding Blood Nether Sect disciples turned their attention to him, and in an instant, seven or eight Blood Nether Sect disciples charged forward, including a strong person at the Middle Stage of Awakening Vein Realm, their murderous aura chilling.
Unfortunately, today’s Luo Cheng no longer considered these people a challenge; even more would be futile.
With a step, the ground cracked into wide fissures, and lightning flickered on Luo Cheng’s fist as he punched out.
The condensed fist power blasted the air, pressing it into a crescent-shaped membrane, and crushed all in its path.
The Blood Nether Sect disciples charging forward were shattered into pieces like tofu, reduced to bloody mud without human form!
"Instantly defeating eight people with one punch! Incredible! He must be a powerhouse at the Late Stage of Awakening Vein Realm, not an ordinary one either!"
"Who is this person!"
"Such a young disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect with such strength cannot be an unknown figure; why haven’t I seen him before."
This scene was too fierce and shocking, and all nearby gazes focused on Luo Cheng.
Though Luo Cheng’s name had spread throughout the Great Yue Dynasty, his rise was so swift that few had actually seen him, and no one recognized him at first.
"Huh, he’s Luo Cheng! Our Xuanyuan Sect’s newly appointed Top Ten Seed Disciple!"
A Xuanyuan Sect disciple exclaimed in surprise.
"So he’s that Luo Cheng! So young!"
"To comprehend the Nine Percent Sword Intent so young and rise to become a Top Ten Seed Disciple! Truly astonishing! His accomplishments rival even Yun Tianyan of the past! Unfortunately, he awakened a Wasted Martial Soul, making his potential far inferior."
One stone stirred a thousand waves.
Luo Cheng’s identity recognition caused a stir, eyes filled with amazement turned towards him.
Luo Cheng didn’t expect his reputation to be so significant, but he didn’t mind.
Looking at the battlefield filled with flying flesh, he lamented silently; so many corpses, mostly strong people of the Awakening Vein Realm, if he could absorb them freely, he’d awaken and illuminate how many Martial Soul stars, to what heights would his cultivation soar!
Late Stage of Awakening Vein Realm!
Even the peak of Awakening Vein Realm!
Maybe even the Four Extremes Secret Realm, directly becoming a Great Power Level strong person!
However, that’s entirely impossible!
Forcing himself to awaken from pleasant reveries, Luo Cheng waved his hand, collecting the storage rings and identity tokens of the slain Blood Nether Sect disciples, and his figure shot up, rushing towards the mountain peak.
The Blood Nether Sect disciples here were too weak, and not many; he didn’t plan to waste more time there.
Few people flew through the air along the battlefield.
Because it was too conspicuous, too much of a target, easily subject to combined enemy attacks, with the risk of being shattered to pieces!
Sure enough, barely reaching the sky, Luo Cheng faced a dozen fierce attacks bombarding from all directions.
Luo Cheng didn’t care, abruptly accelerating, leaving afterimages as he brushed past those attacks.
No sooner did he dodge one wave did a second wave follow.
This time, more attacks with greater momentum, terrifying impact stirred layers of clear shockwaves!
Luo Cheng’s eyes flashed with cold light, maintaining his speed, he punched remotely.
A giant cauldron dozens of meters in size covered half the sky, extinguishing the attacks, its remaining force crushed down towards the direction with most Blood Nether Sect disciples.
The Blood Nether Sect disciples were nearly broken in spirit, unafraid to die didn’t mean they wanted to die, and they scattered like birds and beasts in every direction.
The ground shuddered violently, sinking three feet, most of the Blood Nether Sect disciples didn’t escape, crushed into blood mist by the cauldron’s fist power.
Not bothering to search for their identity tokens, Luo Cheng continued rushing towards the mountain peak.
"Huh! That’s Luo Cheng! He’s here!"
Within the crowd, a few disciples from the Crown Prince Hall of Xuanyuan Sect looked up, seeing Luo Cheng’s retreating figure, their expressions shaken, immediately falling back.
