A Weaker Version of the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade!

The Eighth Elder and Ninth Elder stepped forward and said,

"Young Master need not trouble himself. Let us old fellows handle this."

"No need. Let me test his strength." Hun Tianchen licked his lips and, dressed in flowing white robes, walked toward the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast as leisurely as if he were taking a stroll through the mortal world.

The Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast first glanced around at the people who did not dare approach him, then swept his gaze over Hun Tianchen as he approached and burst into arrogant laughter.

"Does the Hall of Souls have no one left? They actually sent a child to deal with me?"

"It is already your honor to have our Young Master personally make a move." The Eighth Elder said leisurely. "In any case, you will not be arrogant for much longer."

Queen Medusa, on the other hand, frowned. "He is only a Two-Star Dou Venerate, yet he is facing a Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast with the strength of a Five-Star Dou Venerate alone. Aren't you worried?"

"We are naturally completely at ease about Young Master's strength." The Eighth Elder laughed heartily and stroked his chin.

Seeing that Hun Tianchen was full of openings, the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast licked his lips, a sinister look surfacing on his face.

"You dare to be so careless? Then die!"

The moment his words fell, the dragon wings on the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast's back beat fiercely, and his body vanished from the spot.

As the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast disappeared, Hun Tianchen vanished as well.

A moment later, a piercing sound of air being torn apart rang out as the two instantly clashed!

Bang!

A palm with sharp, blood-red nails tore through the air like a sharp sword. Wherever the palm passed, even space split open into a black crack.

Yet another hand rested lightly atop that arm.

"Your strength is acceptable, but your speed is lacking."

The airy voice fell by the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast's ear, accompanied by that evaluation.

"What strange speed!" The Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast stared at Hun Tianchen with a gloomy gaze. With a swish, a black shadow shot out like lightning, piercing through the void.

In an instant, it appeared before Hun Tianchen's forehead and revealed itself to be an exceptionally sharp scorpion stinger. Its tip carried a faint scarlet hue, clearly indicating that it contained a deadly poison.

Crack!

The sharp stinger was seized by a hand and could not advance another inch.

"Too slow."

Seeing Hun Tianchen catch his scorpion-tail attack with one hand, the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast sneered. "Aren't you afraid of the poison on it?"

With a sweep of his large hand, he struck at Hun Tianchen amid a sonic boom. The hand landed squarely on him, yet did not leave even the slightest injury.

"An afterimage?"

Realizing something was wrong, the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast inwardly cursed. Just as he tried to turn around and counterattack, a hand gently rested on his head and stroked it for a moment before suddenly exerting force, sending the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast flying dozens of meters away with a slap!

"How is this possible!"

Such speed, such physical strength... How could a mere human possess power superior to mine?

With a flip, the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast rose to his feet and looked at Hun Tianchen, whose white robes fluttered in the wind. He remained as calm and unhurried as a refined gentleman.

"Damned human, stop putting on an act in front of me!!!" The Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast let out a dragon roar, smashed the ground beneath his feet, and transformed into a streak of black lightning. In an instant, he arrived before Hun Tianchen, surrounded by dim poisonous mist.

As the thick poisonous mist was about to enter his nostrils, Hun Tianchen raised a hand. A barrier like a sheet of glass appeared before him, blocking the poisonous mist.

"Futile struggle!" The Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast shattered the barrier with one slap, then reached his clawed hand toward Hun Tianchen's head as if to crush it viciously.

Hun Tianchen merely glanced at him, and his entire body once again turned into an afterimage, causing the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast's attack to miss.

That action completely enraged the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast. He used his scorpion tail again, sweeping it violently as deadly poisonous mist covered the entire area.

"Let's see how long you can keep dodging!"

"Then I won't dodge anymore." Hun Tianchen replied calmly, conjuring a pair of enormous illusory hands that blotted out the sky and slammed down at the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast.

"Earth Rank High, Myriad Souls Obstructing Heaven Palm."

The moment he attacked, the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast's expression changed. Under such pressure, he no longer held anything back.

"Scorpion Dragon Swallowing Heaven!"

The Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast let out a shriek from his throat, and his body instantly expanded. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a ferocious giant beast over a thousand zhang long. Raising his head and opening his maw wide, he swallowed the pair of illusory hands whole.

"You dare swallow my Dou Qi?" Hun Tianchen paused slightly in surprise before raising his hand again. "Explode."

At his command, the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast felt as though something inside his body had begun to burn. He twisted his massive body and rammed into Hun Tianchen like a swimming dragon!

As that thousand-zhang body moved at high speed, it was like a small mountain racing forward, and the impact was utterly overwhelming.

Hun Tianchen raised a hand, and dozens of black chains immediately blocked the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast's path. However, they could not hold for long before shattering one after another.

"Before absolute strength, all techniques are useless!" The Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast looked at Hun Tianchen, who was right before him, then swung his body. His enormous scorpion tail swept across all directions and smashed toward Hun Tianchen!

Hun Tianchen's body sank slightly. With a wave of his sleeve, he received the attack head-on without any attempt to evade it.

"You will be poisoned to death by my venom. Don't worry, there is no antidote." The Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast pressed his advantage, crashing forward again with immense force!

"You are barely worth making me get a little serious." Hun Tianchen murmured softly. Then that bewitching blood-red light appeared in his hand once more, and a blood blade over two meters long lay across his palm.

This move could be considered Hun Tianchen's own creation. Though it resembled the Hun Clan's Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade, it was not as cruel.

Once the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade was unleashed, increasing its power required filling it with human lives.

Hun Tianchen's move was a weaker version of the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade, yet it could achieve its greatest power without requiring human lives.

If Hun Tianchen advanced to become a Dou Di and used this move, it would be no weaker than the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade—perhaps even stronger.

With a single slash, no living being could survive.

Holding the Blood Blade, Hun Tianchen's demeanor changed. Beneath the blood-red glow, his handsome face looked incomparably bewitching.

"You..." The Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast was so frightened by this version of him that he took a step back.

Hun Tianchen watched the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast with utterly emotionless eyes. He merely raised his hand and swung.

A blood-colored streak cut across the sky, tearing through space as it descended upon the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast.

"Roar!" The Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast exhausted all his strength, struggling desperately against the blood-colored light.

Before such a slash, all resistance was futile.

All one could do was embrace death.

With one slash, the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast was cut in half. Hun Tianchen beckoned with his hand, and an eighth-tier Magic Core slowly floated into his palm. His calm gaze swept over the corpse as he said slowly,

"This is absolute strength..."
