Chapter 2534: Chapter 2502: The Disappearance of the Strong

Seeing the black energy, the ancient ancestor in front was utterly shocked and said, "Jin Lun Saint Daoist. What is this...?"

Jin Lun didn’t say much, just waved his large hand. The black energy, like a massive wave, swept towards them.

Under the surge of black energy, in an instant, all the Heavenly Kings and that ancient ancestor were completely devoured. They didn’t even have the chance to let out a scream before turning into nihility.

They never imagined that they would not die in the battle to protect their homeland, but instead, perish at the hands of their venerable Jin Lun Saint Daoist, leaving not a trace behind. They disappeared completely.

At that moment, Jin Lun’s consciousness gradually returned. When he saw the people who had disappeared before him, his gaze was dazed, as if shocked, and he trembled as he took two steps back.

He couldn’t believe it. He had erased all his companions in an instant.

"I....."

"You killed them," the voice entered his ears once more.

"No! You controlled me!"

"Yes..." the voice laughed malevolently, extremely ethereal and elusive, "But who would believe it?"

"You!" Jin Lun’s expression instantly dimmed.

At that moment, a vast wave of True Qi surged into Jin Lun’s body from all directions. Jin Lun’s cultivation seemed to grow rapidly at an insane speed.

Hoo!

Countless streams of cultivation nourished Jin Lun’s body, enriching his dantian.

The speed of this growth completely exceeded the terror he just felt.

Too fast. The growth of cultivation was insanely fast. As if thousands of years passed in a moment, countless cultivation increased directly.

The speed filled his heart completely with excitement.

Just like how a poor person sees money, or a hungry person sees food. Often, when the desire within is greatly satisfied, so-called rationality can be directly destroyed.

One moment a Buddha, the next a Demon!

Jin Lun could clearly feel it. Even if he practiced for ten thousand years, he wouldn’t gain so much cultivation. Now he gained it in just an instant.

"Can you feel it? This is the power bestowed upon you by God.... You can directly devour others, fully plundering their cultivation,

transforming it for your own use. Not a trace wasted."

Originally in the early stage of Dao Saint, with this devouring, Jin Lun Saint Daoist instantly reached the peak of the early stage of Dao Saint! He was only a step away from the middle stage of Dao Saint!

It’s known that once in the Palm Realm, progressing a minor rank is as difficult as climbing the heavens. It requires not only personal understanding but also great opportunities and various resources.

Yet now, by merely devouring, he could recklessly increase his cultivation!

"If it’s really like this... doesn’t it mean I have the chance to enter the Founding Realm as well?"

The mere thought of the Founding Realm left Jin Lun Saint Daoist trembling with excitement.

In Jin Lun’s mind, the voice of the black energy came again, "As long as you follow your heart... using the power bestowed upon you by God, can the Origin Realm be far away?"

At this moment, the Dao black energy also spread out from Jin Lun’s body, gently caressing Jin Lun Saint Daoist’s face like a woman’s hands.

"What is an Origin Realm, huh? Soon.... the starry universe will be yours."

In the following days, he tentatively devoured a few more Heavenly King powerhouses. Feeling the explosive growth of power within him, he went completely insane.

With the erosion of that black energy, Jin Lun gradually lost his true nature.

The black energy could entirely amplify a person’s greed infinitely.

----

Months later, a man in a black robe appeared like a phantom in every corner of the defense zone.

His appearance was without a trace. No detection or forewarning, but one Heavenly King after another, even ancient ancestor-level powerhouses, disappeared into the black energy from his hand. Then they turned into surging True Yuan cultivation.

As those powerhouses disappeared, the aura inside the man in the black robe grew increasingly mighty. In less than a month, his cultivation had transformed from the early stage of Dao Saint to the middle stage of Dao Saint. Such cultivation speed was unprecedented in the history of the starry universe.

This person was none other than Jin Lun Saint Daoist.

Initially, Jin Lun was hesitant and cautious. But as he acquired more and more power, and with the corrosion of that black energy within him, he began to become reckless.

Under such devouring, Jin Lun naturally became increasingly insane. Ordinary Heavenly King powerhouses no longer satisfied him. His target shifted to the ancient ancestor powerhouses.

Soon, the issue reached the ears of Li Chen in the Red Dust Palace.

After all, in the starry universe, within a matter of months, several thousand Heavenly Kings and dozens of ancient ancestor powerhouses vanished. Such anomalies caused widespread shock.

That day, in the Red Dust Palace.

The heads of the three chaotic defense zones gathered here for an emergency meeting. The meeting brought together the current leaders of the entire starry universe.

Sitting beside Li Chen, Lin Yi was the first to speak, "Recently, quite a few of our ancient ancestor powerhouses have disappeared in the second defense zone.... completely vanished without a single clue."

Now throughout the starry universe, ancient ancestor powerhouses were disappearing mysteriously. The atmosphere was filled with fear. There was a trace of vigilance and suspicion on everyone’s face, and the atmosphere was extremely eerie.

On the other side, the Sovereign King Dao Saint looked livid. It was terribly ugly,

For a simple reason, in the third chaos defense zone he was responsible for, the disappearance of personnel was most severe. Nearly forty ancient ancestor-level powerhouses vanished in just a few months, astonishing the entire starry universe.

And Jin Lun, at this moment, sat next to the Sovereign King Dao Saint. He said nothing, using a special secret technique to conceal his true strength, making it impossible for outsiders to detect any anomaly.

No one knew that the real culprit behind these disappearances sat right in front of them!

Li Chen’s face was heavy. The incident came suddenly and uncannily, and he kept pondering whether they neglected something, or if it was the work of the Doomsday Beast Soul? But what method could cause so many powerhouses to disappear without leaving a single trace?

At this time, the Sovereign King Dao Saint, who had remained silent, directly stood up coldly and shouted angrily, "Fellow Daoists, rest assured. When this old man finds the culprit, I will crush him! And if I can’t find him, then I don’t deserve the title of Dao Saint!"

With that, the Sovereign King Dao Saint stormed out of the Red Dust Palace. His area suffered the most severe losses this time, losing even some ancient ancestors who were his closest subordinates and had followed him for many years. Naturally, the Sovereign King was both furious and heartbroken.

Regarding the Sovereign King’s temper, Li Chen could only shake his head helplessly.

After the Sovereign King left, Li Chen’s serious voice echoed throughout the grand hall, "The enemy’s intentions are malicious. Their target is the ancient ancestor powerhouses of the entire starry universe. I have a bad premonition; let’s temporarily withdraw the ancient ancestors from the frontline."
