Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast of the Eighth Tier!

The demonic crimson light flickered slowly in Hun Tianchen's hand.

The thunderous aura so close at hand whipped his robes about.

He raised his arm slightly, and a crimson blade suddenly appeared in his hand.

The moment the Crimson Blade appeared, Hun Tianchen's aura surged steadily upward. The rolling aura of a sea of blood even dispersed Lei Dong's Thundercloud Annihilation Palm.

The strange, over two-meter-long blood blade emitted a humming ring. A single glance into it revealed endless mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Gripping the Crimson Blade tightly, Hun Tianchen merely glanced at the dumbfounded Lei Dong before swinging his arm and slashing the blade toward the Lei Clan members.

Rip!

The Crimson Blade, permeated with a pungent bloody stench, carved out a soul-stirring arc. Layer upon layer of space shattered wherever the blade passed.

With this single slash, it fell directly upon the area above the Lei Clan members, severing mountains and rivers and even shaking the spatial seal of the Ancient Ruins!

A terrifying crimson storm swept madly across the sky. The defenses of everyone within its range were torn apart almost instantly.

Even the small hill beneath their feet was pulverized in that instant.

The geniuses of the various Magical Beast races who had just arrived in the distance stared blankly at the crimson storm on the horizon.

"Is this... some senior Dou Saint who has come here?"

They muttered in terror.

As the residual force of the Crimson Blade that had cleaved through the mountain peaks dispersed, several bottomless ravines were left in the ground.

Hun Yu and the others looked fearfully into the sky at the young man in white, standing upon empty air.

From beginning to end, his expression had remained so indifferent!

It was as though that earth-shattering slash had been nothing more than dust in his eyes.

The Ninth Elder and Eighth Elder exchanged a glance, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

"Do you recognize that move Young Master just used...?"

"I do. It was the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade from the clan!"

After naming the technique of that blood blade, the Ninth Elder could not help but suck in a breath.

"But doesn't the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade require the cultivation of a Dou Di to use? And doesn't it also require sacrificing one's life...?"

"It should be a weakened version from the clan. If it had truly been the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade, the aftershock alone might have killed us all."

"Heh, I wonder how those Lei Clan people are doing..."

The crimson light in his hand gradually faded as Hun Tianchen looked disdainfully at Lei Dong and the others below.

He had left them all with a breath of life, since his current goal was not to kill these geniuses.

If he killed them just like that, the Ancient Races behind them would go mad. That would not be worth it at all.

So, he needed a move that could intimidate them while still leaving them alive.

If he had used Soul Dragon, they might already have been dead.

The Lei Clan had originally brought six Dou Venerates, all of whom were at least Five-Star Dou Venerates.

After that slash, three of the six Dou Venerates had died outright.

Lei Dong and his group, who had survived under their protection, looked painfully at the corpses of the Lei Clan Dou Venerates.

"This is the price of provoking me, Lei Dong." Hun Tianchen stood with his hands behind his back and looked at them indifferently. "I will not kill you, but the others must bear the responsibility in your stead. How pitiful they are."

"If you've got the guts, kill me! What does killing them have to do with anything?!" Lei Dong glared at him with a savage expression. Those who had died were venerable elders who had protected him since childhood!

"You are mistaken. I did not kill them. They died protecting you." With a flick of his sleeve, Hun Tianchen turned and left.

"A clown will always be a clown."

Lei Dong watched helplessly as Hun Tianchen departed, yet he had no way to stop him, much less take revenge. He threw his head back and roared, venting his unwillingness.

"Tianchen's ability to attract hatred is rather impressive." Hun Yu gave Lei Dong a somewhat pitying look.

"And that's not all. Tianchen also shattered the spatial seal of the Ancient Ruins with one slash." Hun Ya's face twitched as he pointed toward the entrance of the Ancient Ruins. "Now that the seal is broken, Dou Venerates can enter."

"Let's go in first." Hun Yu smiled as he looked around, then led the Hun Clan members inside.

Hun Tianchen's earlier attack had been so shocking that, for the moment, no one dared provoke the Hun Clan.

The Ancient Clan could only swallow their rage, watching hatefully as they entered first.

"Let's get in too. We can't let the Hun Clan get the jump on us."

Having just returned to Queen Medusa's side, Hun Tianchen saw the cold and beautiful woman glance at him. Her tone was somewhat strange as she said,

"Why has the smell of blood on you suddenly become so strong?"

Queen Medusa had always thought of Hun Tianchen as a rather refined person, carrying a faint scholarly air. One could tell at a glance that he was a man of great cultivation.

But now, he was covered in the stench of blood, like a God of Slaughter.

"I killed a few nuisances." Hun Tianchen clapped his hands and looked toward the Eighth Elder. "Any news of the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast?"

"Yes. We have found a group with a Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast. It is an eighth-tier one with the cultivation of a Five-Star Dou Venerate, and it has taken human form. We searched for a long time before finding it. They are currently surrounding and killing it."

Hun Tianchen nodded casually, then followed the Eighth Elder to the Hall of Souls' encirclement site.

More than ten Hall of Souls Protectors, along with five or six venerable elders of the Hall of Souls, were surrounding a tall man and engaging him in fierce battle.

Even while facing the siege of so many people, the tall man remained in the upper hand.

The strength of a Five-Star Dou Venerate, coupled with the powerful body of a Magical Beast, made him an extremely difficult opponent.

His face twisted somewhat as he suddenly let out an earth-shaking dragon roar. The sound waves swept forward like a gale, blasting every broken stone on the ground into the air.

The dragon roar resounded and spread like rolling thunder. Wave after wave of ripples spread outward, making the surrounding Hall of Souls members afraid to approach.

Crimson light began to emerge beneath the tall man's feet. Then, a pair of enormous dragon wings, each over thirty meters wide, extended from his back, while a crimson scorpion tail dozens of meters long hung behind him.

He stomped heavily upon the ground, and his body rose into the sky. His wings spread wide, his venomous tail coiled like a snake, and he howled toward the heavens as waves of poison gas surged skyward!

This was an eighth-tier Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast!

"You want my Magic Core? Even if you are from the Hall of Souls, you do not have the ability!"

His body abruptly shook, and all the black chains extending around him were utterly destroyed. He charged through the crowd like a god descending into the world, forcing everyone back.

A violent and dense barrage of attacks swept down upon them. Within only a few breaths, five or six Hall of Souls Protectors had died.

Several venerable elders were struck down by the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast's attacks and landed beside Hun Tianchen's feet.

The latter raised his hand slightly, and streams of Dou Qi entered the venerable elders' bodies, easing their injuries.

The venerable elders hurriedly rose to their feet and said respectfully, "Thank you, Young Master, for saving us."

"It truly is powerful." Hun Tianchen examined the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast with his Heterochromatic Eyes, taking a small step forward as he said calmly, "I will test it myself."
