I saw that Xuanli's white body was scattered in many places, the star blade cut through the chest, the thunder talisman blew off half of his shoulders, and the tip of Yan Yue's halberd penetrated the lower abdomen. Every time the attack hit, a cloud of white ash would splash up.

However, it was the swordsman who caused the most damage. After several attempts at stabbing, he actually seized the opportunity and slashed his sword down the neck, almost cutting off the entire head.

Xuanli has no entity. Even if the head is cut off, it will not die. The scattered white ash surges a few times and then gathers back to its original place. The fractures are closed and the gaps are filled, as if nothing happened.

This demon has no body, no internal organs, or even real bones. It is a body made of incense ash and bone powder. If you smash it into pieces, it will change its shape and stand up again, without hurting the foundation at all.

But Devil Venerable Xuanli himself knows that this is a huge drain on his spiritual power. Golden Core Early Stage's realm, which was already completely stable, has become unstable again after this recovery.

No, if you continue like this, once it drops to Foundation Establishment Peak Stage, you will really have nowhere to escape.

Xuanli I don't understand how the monks here can become so powerful in just a thousand years. They are obviously as strong as Foundation Establishment Peak Stage, and even Foundation Establishment Late Stage, but they can still suppress him in the face of such a powerful Golden Core.

Xuanli was retreating. He didn't dare to bear it hard. If he took another sword strike from that swordsman, Golden Core Early Stage's cultivation level would not be able to be maintained. He could only parry while retreating deeper into the first floor.

"No, he's going to absorb those Rogue Cultivator's Qi and Blood!"

Chen Chen was the first to discover this change and immediately made a judgment. Devil Venerable Xuanli had absorbed several monks' Qi and Blood before, which resulted in a stable realm. There happened to be several Rogue Cultivator who had not left in the direction of his retreat.

There are endless life-saving items on them, and Xuanli will not cause fatal injuries to them for a while, but it is different for those Rogue Cultivator.

"Run!!" Chen Chen had no choice but to use Morning Star Chain to restrain Devil Venerable Xuanli's actions while shouting at a few people in the distance with maximum strength.

I saw a few scattered monks in the direction of Xuanli's retreat, all of whom had not reached the third floor before. They were searching for spiritual objects in the ruins. Listening to the sound of fighting, some hid aside, and some wanted to run but were still hesitant. They were startled when they heard Chen Chen's shout.

"It's too late!" Xuanli didn't give them time to react. In an instant, white powder surged around them and attacked several people.

The first shot was towards a Rogue Cultivator.

Rogue Cultivator reacted quickly. Hearing Chen Chen's movement, he turned around and ran outside. But after a moment, he felt his feet were empty, and a white arm penetrated his chest from behind, pulling him back.

Xuanli didn't even look at it, then Rogue Cultivator's body exploded into blood mist in mid-air and was sucked in by the white ash.

The second time was even more cruel. A monk was hiding in a corner. When he heard the noise and raised his head, a white hand had already clasped his face. As soon as the hand was withdrawn, the monk shriveled up from head to toe, like an empty water bag.

Three, four, five.

Even though Chen Chen and others tried their best to stop Xuanli's actions and loudly reminded the surrounding Rogue Cultivator to leave as soon as possible, Xuanli was still able to easily suck up the Blood Qi of several people even though Xuanli deliberately avoided it.

Qin Tiexin, who had been observing from a distance, discovered that Xuanli was changing.

At first, the body was as pure white as porcelain, and the surface was too smooth to look like a living thing. But with each person he absorbed, the white dust solidified and the color became closer to flesh color.

By the time the third monk was sucked dry, his face had begun to look a little like a living person, and his eyes showed a little real blood.

The breath also climbed up, from Golden Core Early Stage, which was empty when it was first condensed, to slowly stabilizing, and then began to jump to Golden Core Middle Stage.

Qin Tiexin stood up from behind the wall. He wanted to remind Chen Chen them, but it was too late.

The moment the fifth monk was sucked dry, Xuanli's breath suddenly jumped, as if it had broken through some invisible threshold.

He no longer retreated or dodged, but strode forward to face everyone's attacks.

The star blade pierced his chest, but he didn't look. The thunder talisman lifted off half of his body, and he kept walking. He saw that the wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, more than twice as fast as before.

Yan Yue's double halberds slashed towards his neck, but he slapped him away with his palm. Yan Yue took a few steps back, the tiger's mouth was torn, and blood dripped down the halberd shaft.

"That's not right." Qin Tiexin held the handle of the knife.

Just as he was about to rush forward, an invisible force spread from Xuanli's body.

Qin Tiexin's movements stagnated, and his body became more than 30% heavier.

The spiritual power circulated in his meridians, as if stirred into mud. He gritted his teeth and took a step forward. The soles of his feet landed on the ground with a muffled sound, and the stone slab sank half an inch.

The movements of everyone around him changed. Yan Yue's halberd was slower, the sword cultivator's Swordsmanship also lost its rhythm, and Qian Donglai's movement of throwing the talisman seemed to be held back by something.

This is, Pill Domain!

Qin Tiexin This word flashed in my mind.

This is the energy field naturally formed by the alchemy of monk Golden Core. Within Pill Domain, Golden Core is the most respected, and low-level monks are subject to it everywhere.

Xuanli's Pill Domain is incomplete, covering only a radius of ten feet, which may be related to his current physical condition.

But within ten feet, everyone seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, but Xuanli was not affected.

He stretched out his figure, and his white arms grew as long as a snake, and like a bolt of lightning, he grabbed Chen Chen.

The two guards raised their shields to block, and their movements were half a beat slow. The arm slid over the edge of the shield, slipped through the gap, and grabbed one of the guards by the neck without hesitation.

The guard's cultivation is not weak and his reaction is quick.

He threw away the heavy shield, grabbed the white arm with both hands, and tried to break it open. But Xuanli pinched it, and dug his fingers deep into his flesh, lifting him up from the shield array.

The guard's face turned purple from holding back, and his throat bones made a cracking sound. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to blow himself up, but before he could do anything, the whole body shriveled up quickly, and Qi and Blood was drained from all the seven orifices.

Xuanli stopped. The guard fell to the ground like a dehydrated mummy and never moved again.

"A Si!" another guard hissed.

Chen Chen's face was as heavy as water, and his fingers were trembling slightly. He did not look back at the body on the ground, only stared at Xuanli, his lips pursed into a line.

Without one person, the shield array was broken. The other guard carried the heavy shield alone, his eyes were red, but a shield could not protect three directions.

Xuanli suddenly raised his hand and punched him. His pure white arm swelled like an iron pillar.

The heavy shield came up to meet him, and with a bang, the guard flew out with the man and the shield. The shield took off his hand, spun twice in mid-air, and was inserted into the stone wall next to him. The man spurted three mouthfuls of blood in the air, rolled twice after landing, and did not get up again.

The shield array was completely dispersed.

Chen Chen rushed forward, Morning Star Chain pushed with all his strength, and the chain wrapped around Xuanli, cutting into the flesh. The starlight chain tightened, as if it was trying to cut the devil into several segments.

But Xuanli didn't hide. He let the chain wrap around his body, then grabbed the chain with his backhand and pulled hard.

The chain was stretched straight, and Chen Chen was dragged over, leaving two deep marks on the ground with the soles of his shoes. Xuanli's other hand had already been raised, and it was grabbing at the door facing Chen Chen.
