Luo Chuan placed one hand behind his back and waved his right hand forward, unleashing an even stronger spiritual energy barrier that completely sealed the vengeful spirit of the Cikongnie Sword, preventing it from breaking free and causing trouble.
Then he looked at the huge Eight-Star Ancient God's head, his fingertips gently touching its bronze skin, feeling the faint life force and ancient memories that remained within it.
Inside the skull, fragments of images remained: a brutal battle between countless immortals and Ancient God, and an apocalyptic scene of shattered void and falling stars.
These fragmented images, difficult to piece together to form a complete truth, only made Luo Chuan more certain that what happened here back then was far more tragic than he had imagined, and involved far more forces and powerful individuals.
Without any hesitation, Luo Chuan put away the magic weapon and was about to leave when a deafening explosion suddenly rang out in the sky.
"Hand over the treasure, or today, I will surely tear your soul apart and refine your spirit!"
Hearing the commotion, Luo Chuan stopped, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the old man who had torn through the void, and said indifferently, "Who do we have here? It's you, Void Child, the Great Perfection Realm Sunie Realm Xukongzi!"
Xukongzi Kongzi arrived in an instant, appearing above Luo Chuan's head almost immediately. He shouted, " Luo Chuan, you brat! I didn't expect you to be able to obtain this weapon. Hand it over now, and I'll spare your life!"
Xukongzi wore a black Daoist robe with intricate spatial runes embroidered on the hem. His face was aged, his hair and beard were all white, and his cloudy old eyes gleamed with a wolf-like ferocity.
He exuded a terrifying pressure Sunie Realm the Great Perfection of Nirvana, pressing down on Luo Chuan like a mountain. The surrounding void was slightly distorted under this pressure, as if it would collapse at any moment.
Xukongzi stared intently at Luo Chuan, his gaze sweeping over Luo Chuan's body before finally settling on the spot where Luo Chuan had just put away the treasure. The greed in his eyes was almost overflowing.
He could clearly sense that Luo Chuan possessed a treasure that would drive him mad with desire: the ancient pressure of the Ancient God's head and the ferocious aura of the Cikongnie Sword. Each of these was enough to make him disregard everything.
" Luo Chuan brat!"
Xukongzi shouted sharply, his voice filled with undisguised killing intent and arrogance, "I never expected that you, a mere junior, would have such good fortune to obtain such an ancient treasure atop this snowy mountain!"
"Hand over the treasure now, and I might show you mercy and spare your life, leaving you with a whole corpse!"
In Xukongzi's eyes, Luo Chuan was nothing more than a newly risen cultivator. Even if he had some skills, he was nothing more than an ant that could be easily destroyed in front of Xu Kongzi, a veteran monster Sunie Realm the Great Perfection of Nirvana.
He had been hiding in this place for a long time, originally searching for opportunities in the secret realm, but unexpectedly sensed the fierce and Ancient God aura emanating from this place. He immediately rushed over and happened to witness Luo Chuan collecting the treasure.
In his eyes, these treasures were already his.
Upon hearing this, Luo Chuan's lips curled into a cold smile.
Spare his life?
This Xukongzi, has certainly played his cards right.
"Want the treasure?" Luo Chuan, one hand still behind his back, stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his expression indifferent as ice, and said, "Take it if you can."
"Arrogant!"
Xukongzi was furious, completely enraged by Luo Chuan's dismissive attitude.
As an old monster at the Great Perfection of the Sunie Realm, he had roamed the star field for many years, and very few dared to speak to him like this. "Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"
Before he could finish speaking, Xukongzi suddenly formed a hand seal!
" Void Shred!"
With a loud shout, the surrounding void instantly twisted and folded wildly!
Countless jet-black spatial blades appeared out of thin air, incomparably sharp, containing the power to tear everything apart, sweeping towards Luo Chuan like a torrential rain.
Wherever it passed, even the air was shattered into fragments, and the hard rocks atop the snow-capped mountains turned to dust with the slightest touch.
This was Xukongzi Master's signature technique, using the power of the void as a blade, making it impossible to defend against and possessing boundless power. In his view, even if Luo Chuan didn't die from this attack, he would be severely injured and have no power to resist.
Faced with this deadly move, Luo Chuan's expression remained unchanged.
He still had one hand behind his back, and slowly raised his right hand.
"Buzz!!"
A clear, resonant sword cry echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
A long sword, entirely pale blue, slowly emerged from Luo Chuan's body.
The sword is long and slender, shimmering with light, and engraved with ancient and mysterious runes. Each rune contains the ultimate truth of heaven and earth and exudes an unparalleled sword intent that suppresses all ages.
It was none other than Luo Chuan's natal treasure, the Luo God Sword!
When the Luo God Sword was drawn, all the power in the world seemed to submit to it.
The countless spatial blades, before the sword intent of the Luo God Sword, were like paper, instantly crushed and shattered by the sword intent, dissipating into nothingness.
"Magic weapon of Cinie Treasure?!"
Xukongzi's pupils suddenly contracted as he recognized the sword's origin. He was immediately shocked, not expecting that Luo Chuan actually possessed such a treasure.
But things had already come to this point, and Xukongzi was already blinded by greed; how could he easily retreat?
"Kill!"
With Xukongzi furious roar, the spatial power around him surged, and he transformed into a blur, his hands forming claws with a fierce wind, aiming straight for Luo Chuan's crown.
He intends to crush Luo Chuan with absolute power and seize all the treasures!
Luo Chuan's eyes turned cold, and he no longer held back. He gripped the Luo God Sword with his right hand and gave it a slight tremor.
There were no earth-shattering phenomena, no devastating roars.
Only a pale blue sword light, seemingly ordinary, contained unparalleled sharpness, like the dawn piercing through the darkness, slashing straight towards Xukongzi.
This sword strike, infused with Luo Chuan's supreme sword intent and containing his understanding of the Great Dao, possessed power far exceeding ordinary divine abilities.
Xukongzi's expression changed drastically. He sensed the terrifying power contained in the sword strike and a deadly sense of crisis instantly rose in his heart.
He dared not be careless in the slightest, and exerted all his strength to activate his cultivation. A thick spatial shield appeared around him, with runes flashing on it. It was a protective treasure that he had spent countless efforts to refine.
"Clang!"
The sword light collided with the shield, producing a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth.
That seemingly indestructible spatial shield shattered instantly like glass before the sharpness of the Luo God Sword!
The sword light continued its undiminished momentum, striking directly in front of Xukongzi.
"Puff!"
Xukongzi spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying away like a kite with a broken string, violently blasted away by the power of the sword!
He was sent flying thousands of feet away, crashing through countless ice peaks and icicles along the way, before finally slamming heavily onto the ground atop the snow-capped mountain, creating a huge crater and sending dust flying.
One move!
With just one move, Xukongzi, who was at the Great Perfection of the Sunie Realm, was forced back by Luo Chuan's sword and suffered minor injuries!
Xukongzi struggled to his feet from the deep pit, his clothes tattered, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and his face as pale as paper. He looked up at Luo Chuan, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock.
