Chapter 343: Chapter 190: Chu Shanhe is Back! Completely Dumbfounded

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

The sound of heavy fists thundered, shaking the very ground as a terrifying aura swept through the area.

Everyone inside the cave trembled, their eyes filled with terror. They were on the verge of a complete mental breakdown.

"The Black Armored Saint God!!"

They screamed in terror.

Before their despairing eyes, the Black Armored War God—the one they had poured countless efforts into refining—was being beaten into a bloody pulp, then into dust, by Chen Xuan.

From start to finish, the Black Armored War God shrieked and wailed in terror, not daring to resist in the slightest...

’What in the world is happening?’

Their minds shattered in an instant.

But they didn’t know that Chen Xuan had mastered the Unity of Heaven and Man, a state that innately struck fear into creatures of darkness.

It had been the same way back at the ancient ruins.

Even those bizarre tentacles from the endless darkness had been utterly terrified of Chen Xuan.

So what chance did the corpse of a creature from the deep darkness have?

No matter how it was refined, the fear buried deep within its flesh would never disappear.

That was why, when facing Chen Xuan, the creature couldn’t even use thirty percent of its full power.

[Detected the mental collapse of one Outer Saint and five Inner Realm masters. Retribution points +200,000!]

[You have beaten the walking corpse to death before their very eyes, shattering their confidence. Retribution points +100,000!]

Elder Wuu and the five other elders in the cave wore looks of terror, nearly stupefied, their minds ringing with a deafening roar.

It was as if they had all been rendered fools.

What is the most terrifying thing in the world?

It’s watching the very thing you rely on being utterly and completely destroyed from top to bottom...

Finally!

Chen Xuan stopped, flicking the fleshy paste from his hands. His expression was calm as the restorative power of his Innate Tyrant Body quickly took effect.

The corpse poison that had just invaded his body was already seeping out of his pores.

Was there any trace of the black-armored walking corpse left on the ground?

There was only a large, corroded patch of earth.

"What a piece of trash. So this was your trump card!"

Chen Xuan’s tone was icy as he walked toward them.

He wasn’t going to give them any more time to live. He swung his fists, smashing them down one by one.

Even the Outer Saint had given up all resistance!

Never before had he felt so hopeless, so terrified.

"Can you tell me... what happened to the others at Crossroads Slope?"

Fear showed on the Outer Saint’s face.

BAM!

Chen Xuan’s fist was his only answer.

The man’s head shattered, his body exploding.

"No, I can’t!!"

His cold voice rang out.

’You think I’m here to grant wishes?’

’Asking me if you "can"?’

’You shouldn’t even think of such a question.’

BOOM!

With a casual wave of his hand, a vast sheet of crimson-gold flame engulfed the entire cave, setting it ablaze in an instant.

Chen Xuan turned and strode outside.

He glanced at his status panel.

...

’Excellent. I can break through again!’

A glint appeared in Chen Xuan’s eyes.

’If you want to come after me, then I’ll give you an eye for an eye.’

’Don’t talk about who’s cruel.’

’The world isn’t full of bleeding-heart saints!’

’Of course, I’m not a madman, either!’

’I’m not an unreasonable person.’

’Retribution points, deduce the Heaven-Burning Nine Tribulations Scripture!’

He recited silently in his mind.

[Ding! You have consumed 700,000 retribution points and have begun to deduce the Heaven-Burning Nine Tribulations Scripture. Your Heaven-Burning Nine Tribulations Scripture continues to evolve. The Cultivation Technique of the Outer Saint Chapter is mysterious and powerful, involving comprehension of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Fortunately, with your Unity of Heaven and Man, comprehending any Great Dao is like solving a first-grade math problem—completely effortless.]

[You have consumed another 700,000 retribution points. Your comprehension of the Great Dao has deepened. The mountains and rivers within your body have expanded infinitely, all the scenery has become incredibly condensed, and the Great Sun Golden Crow has become vivid and lifelike. All of this indicates that the power within you has once again reached a new level!]

[Congratulations, Host! You have reached the Outer Saint Third Layer!]

[Your Heaven-Burning Nine Tribulations Scripture is now fully perfected!]

BOOM!

An invisible, powerful aura surged within Chen Xuan’s body, causing the space around him to blur once more.

It was as if his entire body was covered by a layer of fiery mountains and rivers...

Volcanoes, seas of fire, and worlds of flame spilled from his pores.

But in the blink of an eye, they all vanished again.

He let out a soft breath, a glint in his eyes.

’1.4 million points is acceptable. But since the Heaven-Burning Nine Tribulations Scripture is perfected again, I’ll have to visit the scripture repository soon...’

’Alright!’

’Time to find Old Deng!’

’Let’s see how his search is going.’

As Chen Xuan walked out of the area, he saw nothing but ruins. Corpses lay strewn about—a gruesome sight.

Shrouded in True Essence, Old Deng was flying back and forth with incredible speed.

He finally came to a stop, several large bundles slung over his back.

"Chen Xuan, let’s go! I’ve looted just about everything,"

Ancient Star River said, turning back.

"Let’s go!"

Chen Xuan didn’t linger. With a flicker, he was gone, vanishing in an instant.

...

「At that very moment, in the direction of Grotto Heaven City.」

Crowds had gathered, their voices a rising murmur of discussion.
