A mere Core Formation? A Nascent Soul beast, die for this old man!

With a sudden, explosive roar echoing from within the hurricane, the hundred-foot-tall vortex shattered instantly. Countless beast corpses rained down like water, turning into dust and vanishing into thin air.

"Master, you're incredible."

Xu Liguo's eyes widened in astonishment. He exclaimed, "This hurricane was as fragile as an ant before you; with just a single word, you slaughtered so many Nascent Soul and Core Formation beasts."

Luo Chuan ignored Xu Liguo's flattery. Stepping through the void, he teleported a hundred feet away and quickly located a Black Tower standing tall in the area.

If his calculations were correct, this Black Tower contained special restrictions capable of withstanding the attacks of the hurricane beasts.

Luo Chuan glanced at the hurricane outside, which was rapidly reforming. Presumably, these vile creatures intended to avenge their fallen kin.

These beasts had lived here for countless years, and among them were countless creatures at the Core Formation and Nascent Soul stages.

However, these beasts feared the Black Tower and dared not approach it rashly, choosing instead to lurk in the surroundings while emitting shrill, angry shrieks and roars.

Luo Chuan stood with one hand behind his back, looked at the surrounding hurricane, and nodded. "Xu Liguo, devour these little beasts. Devour as many as you can; there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

"Ah?"

Xu Liguo's heart trembled. He immediately turned to look at Luo Chuan, then pitifully hugged Luo Chuan's thigh. "Master, these guys are so fierce. What if they tear me to pieces? I can't bear to leave you."

"Rest assured, these vile creatures are only at the Core Formation and Nascent Soul stages; they cannot harm you in the slightest. Go ahead and devour them boldly. If anything happens, This Seat will cover for you."

Cover for me, my foot! Xu Liguo cursed inwardly. You make me do all the dirty work. I'm a Nascent Soul expert, after all—doesn't your conscience ache treating me like this?

Luo Chuan swung his right hand backward, giving Xu Liguo no chance to react, and threw him directly into the center of the hurricane to engage in a life-or-death battle with the beasts.

Watching the battle between Xu Liguo and the beasts, Luo Chuan paid no further mind and stepped into the top floor of the Black Tower.

There were no other structures on the top floor; in the center, there was only an object resembling a candlestick, with nothing else to be seen.

Luo Chuan pressed his left hand gently against the floor. He had extracted many restrictions from this Black Tower in the past, using them to control many powerful experts.

Returning now, he naturally intended to extract more to use for the upcoming seals and the like.

The restrictions within the Ancient God Land were from the ancient era; they were difficult to digest and even harder to refine. One could only use the immortal energy within their body to continuously grind and harmonize with them before they could be successfully refined.

"Come out."

Luo Chuan released the immortal energy within his body without hesitation, while his right hand exerted sudden force to pull outward.

In an instant, the ceiling cracked visibly under his extraction, then shattered inch by inch as countless black incantations appeared in the air.

"It seems the restrictions here can regenerate on their own. It's a pity I cannot take this Black Tower with me; otherwise, I could have used these restrictions indefinitely."

The Black Tower had no function once removed from this location. Because of this, Luo Chuan lacked the ability to take it away and could only leave it here.

After collecting all the black incantations, Luo Chuan returned to the first floor of the Black Tower.

Xu Liguo had already returned, but he had come back stuffed. He looked like a pregnant woman, patting his distended belly as he walked with a wobbly gait.

Xu Liguo laughed and said, "Master, you didn't see it earlier—I was terrifyingly powerful. When these beasts saw me, it was like mice seeing a cat; not a single one could put up a fight."

"Who told them to provoke you so recklessly? I, Xu Liguo, have vented this frustration for you. If these beasts aren't satisfied, I'll just devour them all."

Luo Chuan stood with one hand behind his back, his expression unchanged. "The item is in hand. Let us prepare to leave this pass and head to the second."

"Item?" Xu Liguo flew over curiously and asked, "What item? Anything that can interest Master must be a good thing, right?"

Luo Chuan ignored Xu Liguo. Just as he was about to speak, he sensed a peculiar energy fluctuation from the outside.

As his divine sense expanded, he saw the hurricane outside filled with shrill, miserable screams.

"To be able to instantly kill so many little beasts in a blink... it seems it can only be that old thing."

Luo Chuan did not rush to leave the Black Tower. Instead, he sat on a chair by the entrance, unhooked the wine gourd from his waist, and sipped while watching Meng the Hunchback slaughter the beasts.

Xu Liguo wiped the sweat from his cheeks and cautiously reminded him, "Master, we should leave quickly... If that old thing finds out we are here, he might use us as a meat shield."

"No rush. Let's wait and see."

A hundred miles away, Meng the Hunchback, a Spirit Transformation mid-stage expert, curled his lips into a smirk. He looked at the tens of thousands of beasts before him and laughed wildly.

"Hahaha, it has been a long time since I, Old Hunchback, have killed so happily. Li Tian, how about I show you some entertainment?"

The massive Li Tian opened its eyes, looked at its master, Meng the Hunchback, and nodded slightly. It then released the poison mist within its body, slaughtering the hurricane beasts in the vicinity.

Meng the Hunchback flew in mid-air and laughed loudly, "Mere Core Formation and Nascent Soul vermin dare to provoke me? You truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth."

"All of you, go to hell! Hahaha!"

Meng the Hunchback was one of the few poison cultivators and a top expert of the Demon Cultivation Sea. His entire body was saturated with deadly toxins; a single wave of his hand could cause his poison to expand for a hundred miles.

The beasts had almost no possibility of resisting. Upon contact with the emerald-green poison mist, they turned into pus and fell to the ground.

"As expected of the Spirit Transformation poison cultivator, Meng the Hunchback. Even This Seat must admit defeat when it comes to this kind of area-of-effect slaughter."

Luo Chuan watched as tens of thousands of beasts were slaughtered and couldn't help but offer a word of praise.

"Master, if we don't leave now, we really won't have a chance! This old immortal has filled the surrounding space with poison; ordinary people will die the moment they touch it!"

Xu Liguo looked at Luo Chuan with a face full of terror, seemingly wanting him to leave immediately, lest the consequences become unimaginable once Meng the Hunchback noticed them.

Luo Chuan put away his wine gourd, stood up slowly, and said indifferently, "Heh, there is a good show about to begin."
