So strong!
Lu Huai was startled in his heart. Even though he wasn't facing it directly, he could still feel the close-at-hand energy intensity.
He still didn't know why an Evil God Cultist had suddenly popped out to attack them. He flipped his palm, subconsciously about to put away the Profound Heaven Instrunt in his hand.
However, his expression abruptly underwent a Startling Change. Looking down, he didn't know when, but the Profound Heaven Instrunt that was just held in his hand had actually disappeared Silent and Stealthy!
"Where is the Profound Heaven Instrunt?" He panicked in his heart. This was one of the Profound Heaven Sect's Foundations. If it was lost, even ten thousand deaths wouldn't absolve him of the bla.
Could it have been blown away by the Aftermath?
But he was a 9th-Tier Professional after all. Even if the close-at-hand collision just now was terrifying, it shouldn't have been to the extent that he couldn't even hold onto the thing in his hand.
He was just intending to search when he saw Ni Chuan stagger back. He had already transford into a nearly three-ter-tall black-and-gold violent ape. Its hair was like tal, its entire body wreathed in black-and-red violent flaming aura, and its chest heaved unevenly.
The tall building beneath them had been razed to the ground, and everyone was standing in mid-air.
Below, figures darted towards the distance one after another.
"Crimson Cultist!" Ni Chuan's voice was cold. Looking at the burly figure shrouded in crimson light before him, that intense, maddened killing intent almost ford physical substance.
But in his heart he was Doubtful and Uncertain, raising his vigilance. In the very first instant of collision, he felt the opponent's force was very strange—not continuous, but seeming like two bursts of exertion.
Moreover, their power could be called Unimaginable, on par with his, and even faintly stronger than his.
"Their strength is actually faintly stronger than Ni Chuan's." Lu Huai's heart shook, looking at that Evil God Cultist not far away.
Ni Chuan was a Dual Ninth-Rank. Could this guy be Divine Son-level? Was corrupting the Radiant Moon Spirit not enough? Did he also have to co here to assassinate Royal Court experts?
Apart from this, Lu Huai truly couldn't think of a reason why this Crimson Cultist would appear here.
"Going all out, I'm probably quite a bit stronger than these guys, and I haven't even used the Sky-Scars yet."
Su Chen was also quite surprised. This attack was only paving the way to snatch the Profound Heaven Instrunt; he hadn't used the Sky-Scars.
But he hadn't expected it to already be no less than this Ni Chuan's. He recalled back then on the Crimson Thunder Planet, when he saw the other party's Might, it was truly like a god or demon.
At this mont, however, his attention wasn't on estimating strength. Just now, relying on the tyrannical energy fluctuations, he used the Flash-Shadow Body, taking the Profound Heaven Instrunt over before Lu Huai even had ti to react.
However, just as he touched the Profound Heaven Instrunt, the Status Panel popped up a prompt—
[The Unsullied has discovered a streak of 'Essence Marrow' hidden within this Profound Heaven Instrunt and wishes to absorb it.]
"Essence Marrow" was the substance hidden within the Profound Heaven Instrunt. It was precisely this substance that gave the Profound Heaven Instrunt the Energy Supply to elevate Talent.
But he hadn't expected the Unsullied to develop a craving for it. Last ti when he underwent tamorphosis inside it, this guy didn't have any reaction.
"This thing is the foundation of the Profound Heaven Instrunt. Once this thing is gone, this object is just a common instrunt." Su Chen had researched so blueprints related to the Profound Heaven Instrunt and knew that the "Essence Marrow" was its true core.
"Putting it this way, the process is even simpler than I thought."
He originally intended to use the battle to silently and stealthily modify the Profound Heaven Instrunt. Now, it had beco much simpler.
"However, if I absorb this thing, Lu Huai should quickly discover sothing is Not Quite Right." Su Chen pondered secretly.
[The Unsullied has sensed your worries. It has thought of a solution: after absorbing it, it can spit so back out to maintain two or three uses, avoiding the controller seeing any flaws, while simultaneously preventing the Profound Heaven Instrunt from Spying On the host's Talent.]
"You're still the most considerate..."
Su Chen swept a glance and naturally consented. The Profound Heaven Instrunt hidden in his sleeve trembled, as if sothing was Extracted out. Then specks of fluorescent light erged and subrged into it.
This way, it was completely foolproof...
He looked at Lu Huai, whose eyes were darting erratically, scanning all around, knowing the other party was searching for the Profound Heaven Instrunt.
In the short term, because of the disguise of an Evil God Cultist, the other party wouldn't temporarily connect it to him taking the Profound Heaven Instrunt. But as ti went on, it would be hard to say.
"To actually dare to ambush us here, Seeking One's Own End!"
Seeing him remain silent, Ni Chuan's eyes were filled with killing intent. If it were other Evil God Cultists, then so be it, but the Royal Court's Radiant Moon Spirit had been precisely corrupted by Crimson Evil God Power, an enmity no less than a Blood Feud.
Su Chen's voice was cold and silent: "Ni Chuan, you think too highly of yourself. I didn't co for you."
"Didn't co for us?" Ni Chuan paused slightly.
Lu Huai, who was panicking in his heart and searching everywhere for the Profound Heaven Instrunt, also looked over upon hearing this. If not for them, who else could it be for?
Imdiately after, they saw that the Crimson Cultist's gaze shifted to Peng Hui.
Peng Hui's heart trembled, crying bitterly in his heart. When had he provoked Crimson...
No, he noticed the other party's gaze didn't seem aid at him, but rather at the person behind him... He Peiting!
He stepped aside, and sure enough, the Cultist's gaze still hadn't changed, staring fixedly at He Peiting. This kid looked terrified.
"The grand Black Buddha, even now you're still going to nestle in such a little guy's body?" Su Chen's voice was freezing.
He really was coming for him... The facial muscles of He Peiting, whom Black Buddha was parasitizing, twitched. His terrified expression receded, and extrely dense black fog billowed out from his nostrils, eyes, mouth, and ears. A sinister and eerie aura gradually spread.
Peng Hui jumped in fright and retreated repeatedly. Black Buddha? He Peiting is the f*cking Black Buddha?
Black Buddha's gaze was gloomy and cold. In front of Ni Chuan and Lu Huai, when that Crimson Cultist's gaze fell on him and he spoke those words, this identity could no longer be hidden.
Afterwards, he would definitely be investigated thoroughly.
He was an Advent Body, not without flaws. If higher-ups conducted a deep inspection, it would be very easy to find his abnormalities.
It could be said that from the mont this Crimson Cultist spoke that sentence just now, all his plans, the ti he spent lying dormant, and the Resources he paid had all turned into a mirage!
"It really is Black Buddha?" Ni Chuan couldn't help but be stunned.
"It seems to be an Advent Body. To be so valued by Su Chen, and it actually turns out to be Black Buddha's Advent Body?" Such a thought flashed through Lu Huai's mind, but he imdiately rembered the Profound Heaven Instrunt again. His Psionic Power hurriedly spread out, sinking into the ruins below.
Suppressing the fury in his heart, a few small tal cases silently floated up beside Black Buddha: "A re Crimson Cultist, actually dares to..."
Black Buddha stared coldly at the figure before him, but saw that figure blur and actually vanish from before his eyes.
"Whoosh!"
Imdiately, a whistling sound echoed in his ears, and Black Buddha only felt his vision go dark.
Bang—He Peiting's head exploded. A wisp of profound substance residing within drifted out, carrying a wisp of Black Buddha's ntal Spirituality.
Such fast speed! Even Ni Chuan was startled, not even having ti to react.
"Dammit!"
The profound dark light drifted. Fury brewed in Black Buddha's heart as he looked at the body with its blown-off head. This was the shackle of an Advent Body. The Main Body was truly too weak; to display power, one could only use other thods.
But his Divine Blood, Faith Essence, and Essence Power were all in his portable Space. The other party couldn't possibly give him the ti to integrate those things into his body and then erupt.
And at the sa ti, those few tal cases, as well as other things that dropped out from his portable Space, were all swept up by an invisible force and disappeared around that Crimson Cultist.
"Like this again!"
Black Buddha's fury erupted. From the mont this Su Chen entered the Bronze Sect, things hadn't gone smoothly for him. The Mist Embers were Purified, he killed the wrong person in Qin Tianlin, and after lying dormant in the Bronze Sect, he expended Resources several tis in succession, all yielding nothing.
This was the closest he had been to success, yet this suddenly appearing Crimson Cultist had disrupted all his arrangents again.
"Dammit! Dammit!"
The fury Black Buddha had been suppressing could no longer be contained. A sinister and eerie roaring sound echoed out: "Crimson! Crimson! Faceless Ghost! Sly Fox!"
He believed it was because he refused to cooperate last ti that these guys were secretly attacking him.
"This Lao Hei, hasn't gone crazy, has he?"
Listening to Black Buddha's roar, Su Chen felt it was ear-piercing. He stared vigilantly at that spirit of Black Buddha, but saw it tear open the void amidst a burst of sharp shouts and return to the Nether Realm.
That's it? Su Chen was speechless. He thought Lao Hei was going to explode with power.
"So he ca to assassinate this Black Buddha Advent Body." Ni Chuan's gaze was icy. Battles between Evil Gods were perfectly normal. Throughout the process, he had always treated it with cold detachnt. "But since we've encountered each other, I'll collect so interest first."
During this ti, the nurous defenders of the Mount Tai Nexus had already gathered around, but hadn't inserted themselves into the battlefield. There were also a few people executing thods.
An Energy Barrier slamd down like an inverted bowl. Light patterns intertwined inside, constantly reinforcing the internal spatial strength to prevent the battle's Aftermath from causing too much destruction.
He wasn't preparing to let this Crimson Cultist leave. He didn't care about He Peiting's situation, but this Crimson Cultist absolutely had to die.
"Crimson Evil God, f*ck his ancestors to the eighteenth generation!"
Ni Chuan suddenly gave a loud shout. His body underwent a mutation, actually expanding again. Refined steel-like hair extended, and the surface of his body faintly ford thick black-and-gold armor. A heart-palpitating Aura spread out.
Why is he suddenly swearing at people?
Su Chen was startled, but imdiately understood. This guy was drawing aggro.
For ordinary Believers and Priests, this kind of insult had clearly touched upon the principle of the gods not tolerating blasphemy. They would definitely fight a bloody battle with the other party.
"Blaspheming my Lord, Seeking One's Own End. One day, I will co to collect you!" Su Chen left behind a harsh sentence, and his figure abruptly vanished. When he reappeared, he was already in the distance.
"You can't leave!" Ni Chuan shouted sternly. Boiling energy shot up into the sky, pouncing and killing as it tore out dazzling radiant flas, like a star crashing over, exploding with noise.
But he pounced on empty air. In just the blink of an eye, the other party disappeared.
"Just what kind of speed is this!"
Ni Chuan's expression was ugly as he said in a deep voice: "The other party is probably a Divine Son's Flesh Body. Ordinary believers couldn't possibly just turn and leave after being insulted like this."
There was no response beside him. He turned to look, only to see Lu Huai standing on the ruins not far away, holding the Profound Heaven Instrunt in his hand with a look of recovering a lost treasure.
Annoyed in his heart, Ni Chuan looked at the external defenders again: "You're just going to stand here and watch? That was an Evil God Cultist! The Five Great Sects and the Royal Court have already issued a joint statent declaring them the common enemy of the Dust Star Sea!"
The defenders looked at each other and said helplessly: "We already used confinent thods. This 'Apocalypse Shield' was ford in coordination with the Mount Tai Nexus and the two 9th-Tier Professionals, but the intensity of his ability was very high..."
Ni Chuan snorted coldly, but was also helpless, and could only withdraw his battle stance.
Not far away, Peng Hui had a sluggish expression: "That He... He Peiting was Black Buddha's Advent Body. A Great Eldritch God lived with just like this for so many days, and I even... I even reprimanded him a few tis..."
Peng Hui's Adam's apple bobbed, only feeling a chill run down his spine.
Lu Huai carefully inspected the lost Profound Heaven Instrunt he found. Only after confirming there was no damage did he put it away, feeling lingering fear in his heart.
"The Bronze Sect..." Ni Chuan was in a bad mood and grumbled, "Truly regressing the longer they live. Black Buddha's Advent Body was actually valued by several big shots."
Lu Huai naturally knew who the big shots he was referring to were. Shaking his head, he said, "A Great Eldritch God's Advent Body is inherently difficult to discover. If one doesn't carefully inspect the ntal Core, it's very hard to see anything abnormal."
"Fortunately, it was a false alarm. However, the infighting between these few Evil Gods is very fierce."
They had heard Black Buddha's roar clearly before he left, which spawned many speculations.
"Hmph, just Dog eat dog, that's all. Hey, you!" Ni Chuan shouted.
Peng Hui shuddered, gathered his Thoughts, and forced out: "Commander Ni, what is it?"
Ni Chuan had lost his patience and said in a deep voice: "Report the matters here as soon as possible. We are heading to the Bronze Sect."
"Mhm." Peng Hui smiled bitterly. He would naturally do this matter without Ni Chuan telling him.
Who would have thought that Old Zhou finally took in a student, and he was even quite valued by Star Seed Su, but it actually turned out to be a Great Eldritch God's Advent Body... Sigh...
Once Old Zhou and Star Seed Su learned of this, they would probably be quite heartbroken.
He sighed secretly. Fortunately, this was the Guest House, and there usually weren't many people here, nor had there been too many collisions, otherwise there would likely have been heavy casualties.
The sudden accident put the Mount Tai Nexus into a state of high alert. But fortunately, no large-scale battle occurred, allowing several defenders to heave a long sigh of relief.
...
"Apologies. Due to the impact of a sudden accident, the Star Gates are temporarily closed. Please wait for further notice..."
In the docking Port, the cold notification sound played unceasingly. A large number of travelers stranded here were all at a loss and panicked.
In the VIP berth, the Silver Moon was impressively present. Su Chen had already returned here Silent and Stealthy.
He utilized the Flash-Shadow Body, moving far away from the Mount Tai Nexus in a short ti. After canceling his disguised Crimson High Priest state, he relied on the Flash-Shadow Body to return again.
Mhm... He looked at the red warning signs on the Virtual Screen, pondering: "He Peiting returned from adventuring outside and happened to encounter Ni Chuan and Lu Huai. Because he was favored by Su Chen, he was specially arranged the guiding task, and the Profound Heaven Instrunt was used to elevate his Talent."
"Who knew a Crimson Cultist would attack and kill, only then exposing that he was actually Black Buddha's Advent Body. Ni Chuan and Lu Huai are rely witnesses."
"Mhm... There shouldn't be any problems." Su Chen evaluated. Because the Unsullied suddenly exerted power, the entire process was shortened too much. Ni Chuan and Lu Huai truly beca witnesses.
"A Crimson Cultist of this level would definitely only obey Crimson's orders. If anyone else connects this to without reason, they're even crazier than ."
Although having Jiang Mufeng keep an eye on things while simultaneously having Lao Qing arrange benefits seed sowhat strange, this was an internal matter of the Bronze Sect. Outsiders wouldn't be able to know.
"However, Lao Hei's reaction right before death was a bit strange. He actually didn't doubt why this Crimson Cultist attacked him, and even found a reason."
The Thoughts in Su Chen's mind flashed by. He opened the Status Panel and glanced over it. Since the Unsullied was obtained, apart from matters related to Talent, it had very rarely reacted to the outside world.
Just what kind of thing is this 'Essence Marrow'?
