Chapter 297 Fearful Emotions_2
The woman's eyes flickered as she spoke of the deep-seated grudge between Elder Chi Xie and a certain Supreme Elder of the Chi Family.
Even within a family like the Chi Family, factional strife was inevitable, but once one transcended to the Seventh Level, they were eligible to become a Supreme Elder of the Chi Family.
There were generally two paths to becoming a Supreme Elder of the Chi Family.
One was to perform great deeds within the family's elder ranks, earning immense merit and ultimately becoming a Supreme Elder.
The other was to rise to the position of Supreme Elder through sheer strength; after all, respect came naturally to those of the Chi Family bloodline with sufficient power.
The woman went on, "Seventh Elder... oh, perhaps I should congratulate you in advance, Elder Chi Xie of the Supreme Elders?"
Chi Xie was about to speak when suddenly, the ceiling shook violently.
Boom!!!
The crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling swayed from side to side.
One of the wall lamps even fell directly to the ground.
"An attack," the woman's face changed drastically as she wiped her palm, and in the next moment, a black coat appeared in her hand and she quickly slipped it on.
Chi Xie's face darkened, "Damn it..."
The thing he least wanted to happen had still happened: the Resource Point had been attacked. Even if he could drive off the attackers, the deaths of some miners would still affect his mining of ores, which in turn would greatly impact his Beast Taming breakthrough.
He got out of the medicinal bath and put on his coat.
Chi Xie patted the head of the Black Python that had already coiled up beside his feet, "Let's go, follow me to kill."
Thump!!!
Before he could even reach the cellar door, the ceiling above him shook violently again, and as Chi Xie looked up, the ceiling collapsed with a thunderous crash!
A large shadow smashed towards him!
...
Above.
Chen Xing had just withdrawn his right foot, and the black silk threads wrapped around his shoulders and waist were suspending him in midair.
Below him, a hundred-meter radius of ground had collapsed, already smashed into a huge pit by his foot.
Inheriting one percent of Taotie's strength, he crushed this land with ease.
Within the ruins, the ground trembled slightly.
Boom!
The next moment, debris filled the sky as a dark figure burst forth from deep within the earth with the force of a thunderbolt.
Looking down, Sìxiàng's pupils focused as time seemed to slow before his eyes, raising his right claw.
With a thought,
"Dark Realm, activate!"
The space around him instantly inverted, pulling all nearby life into the Dark Realm.
At the same time, several black silk threads continuously ensnared his arm and claws, sketching out an enlarged black arm armor on Sìxiàng's limbs.
"Primal Potential—Ultimate Divine Fist!"
Boom!!!
With one punch, Sìxiàng struck the dark shadow hard.
The explosive shockwave spread outwards from the point of impact.
The wings on Sìxiàng's back rose high as he flew back thousands of meters before stopping.
Meanwhile, a towering black python hit the ground on the opposite side, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Chen Xing looked at Sìxiàng's limp arm and the black silk threads hanging along his arm, some of which had started to fray at the connections.
From this move, Chen Xing noticed some details: the dark silk threads were exceptionally tough, offering great defensive power, and the "glove" formed by the threads wrapped around Sìxiàng's arm.
In the brief moment of impact with the opponent, Sìxiàng's own Extreme Speed, combined with a secondary blast from the Shadow upon collision, created an explosive force much like a short, sudden burst of energy.
At the same time, the Shadow also used the skill Primal Potential, significantly enhancing Sìxiàng's physical attributes for a short period.
Added to this was Sìxiàng's own Transcendence, which already included a route to physical transcendence, rendering the power of this punch extremely devastating.
As the dust cleared on the other side, the black python coiled and stood upright, scales bursting along its body while its vicious eyes stared fiercely at Sìxiàng.
Shockingly, even after Sìxiàng's powerful strike, only the scales on the snake's forehead seemed to have dented slightly.
It appeared to be largely unharmed.
[Species] Myriad Manifestations Water-Fire Fiendish Python
[Attributes] Water, Fire
[Power Level] 160
[Power Level Cap] 176
[Quality] Purple Overlord
[Body Length] 14.2 meters
[Weight] 27 tons
Purple Overlord! Power Level 160!
Just one step away from breaking through to Transcendence Seventh Level.
Chen Xing narrowed his eyes, no matter from which angle, this was an extremely dangerous opponent.
With Sìxiàng's Power Level now only at 121, trying to cross Triple Heaven to defeat the opponent was indeed somewhat difficult.
"If your Beast Taming Level were a bit higher, perhaps I really would have been overturned, interesting..." Above the head of Wanxiang Waterfire Xieqiu, a miniature figure floated, the figure being none other than Chi Xie.
He could feel that, although the punch just now was powerful, the fluctuation of the opponent's Beast Taming Level was not very vigorous, which meant that the opponent's Beast Taming Level was not as strong as his own.
"With your strength, what are you doing in Stone City? Just join me instead," Chi Xie invited Chen Xing, "Is your beast of Totem Quality? With proper cultivation, Ascension is not impossible in the future, do you want to join our Chi Family?"
"Oh? I just launched a stealth attack on you, and now you invite me to join your clan," Chen Xing said with a half smile.
"For a genius, there always are some privileges. Besides, no acquaintance without a fight, with your Beast Taming talent, as long as you join a major power you are sure to be valued. How many resources has Stone City given you? We in the Chi Family can offer three times that!"
"Sorry," Chen Xing shook his head, "I haven't felt your sincerity yet."
The next second, nine crimson chains flew out from the center of Sìxiàng's wings behind him, crossing through the void, precisely hitting the air behind him—empty air.
But in the seemingly empty air, ripples appeared, followed by the pulling out of a butterfly-shaped soul shadow from the void. The pale blue transparent soul was tightly bound by the chains, being gradually drawn towards the dark red gate.
The gate to the Dark Realm was never one-way—it could also open backward.
Chen Xing knew the other party wanted to paralyze him, but how could he not be doing the same.
Stay updated through empire
How could Sìxiàng's shrouded area not know whether it had pulled in one person or two?
To try to approach stealthily from behind, unaware that Sìxiàng had already sensed its soul fluctuation.
"Didn't expect someone so young to be so vigilant," Chi Xie remarked.
While he was talking and distracting Chen Xing's attention earlier, he had Chi Meng launch a stealth attack on Chen Xing from behind.
The reason for the sneak attack was because both he and Chi Meng had been pulled into this space; if Chen Xing didn't fight him and simply left this space, it would be troublesome.
Thus, to be on the safe side, he had Chi Meng's beast Bind the opponent's beast, then they would figure out a way to return to the Main Plane.
Sìxiàng's arm had already recovered by now, the broken bones healing themselves.
It shared Shadow's extremely strong healing passive life ability, combined with the inherent healing power of its transcendental body, its recovery ability was more monstrous than some weird Species like earthworms.
"Chaos Flame Explosion!" The eyes of Wanxiang Waterfire Xieqiu flashed sharply, and following that, the water and fire Attributes began to rapidly converge in the surrounding emptiness.
Countless red and blue dots of light, like a sky full of stars, twinkled above the dome, enveloping the space around Sìxiàng within them.
The intensity of red and blue light grew fiercer, reaching its peak almost instantly, and then exploded violently.
The violent shockwave created by these two diametrically opposed elements swept across the entire sky like a violent storm, warping even the air with its force.
Chi Xie, sitting cross-legged atop his beast's head, stared at the center of the explosion,
Is he dead?
His beast had already been preparing this move during their conversation.
If Chi Meng managed to Bind the opponent, that would naturally be best, but if not, they would follow up with this skill.
Chi Xie always liked to be doubly prepared.
However, at that moment, Chi Xie sharply caught a thread of an unusual emotion.
He suddenly looked up, only to see the sky above darkening abruptly, as if obscured by some colossal creature.
The intense explosion wave was swallowed by this vast, gigantic body, stabilizing the previously distorted space once again.
Like a mountain standing tall amid a vast flood.
Enormous, oppressive, weighty!
And he could even sense something from the emotions of Wanxiang Waterfire Xieqiu named—fear.
Chi Xie looked up, less than thirty meters above him, his gaze met with pitch black, and a bad feeling in the depths of his heart grew stronger.
What is this?
No, what on earth is this?
Is it a mountain? But why would a mountain fly?
Could it be a beast?!
But how could there be such a huge beast! Chi Xie started to panic, such a large beast, what then was its Power Level?
Chi Xie thought of a famous being from the Exotic Region—the Earth Cave King.
He had never seen the Earth Cave King, but he had heard of it.
It was said that when the Earth Cave King lay there, it seemed like a mountain range. Once, someone accidentally climbed a large mountain, discovering two huge caves on it, which, every hour, blew out a wind capable of corroding everything.
Later, someone forced their way in, awakening the slumbering Earth Cave King.
The entire mountain range took flight, and only then did everyone realize that the two caves were the breathing nostrils of the Earth Cave King.
