Chapter 61: Am I Late?

"In the past, Junior Brother happened to come across it in an ancient book by chance, If Junior Brother remembers correctly, this thing should be called Blood Essence Stone..."

Ye Han pretended to contemplate for a moment and then relayed the information his Master had told him.

After listening carefully, Li Xun suddenly realized.

So, his biggest gain today was this!

Limb regeneration, blood regeneration...

Who among cultivators wouldn't covet such abilities?

Everyone present had witnessed those few extraterritorial demons. As long as their origin remained, even if they were turned into blood mud or blood mist, they could regenerate.

Such an ability at the Profound Core stage could be considered a bug!

This was why if it were another cultivator at the Profound Core who had come today, they would likely have faced severe casualties. After all, extraterritorial demons were nearly unbeatable and seemingly unkillable creatures.

They were least afraid of a battle of attrition.

"Many thanks to Junior Brother Ye Han."

Li Xun deeply looked at Ye Han and expressed his gratitude.

While the other envied the Blood Essence Stone in his hand, he also couldn't help but envy the old man behind Ye Han.

Having such an existence was equivalent to carrying a comprehensive encyclopedia and a treasure trove that could save him in critical moments. This was more useful than any kind of cheat, beside some OP System or the Gamer System.

"Don't thank me, Senior Brother. Junior Brother hasn't done much."

Ye Han smiled awkwardly, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Indeed, he hadn't done much; he had simply recounted what his Master had said.

After some more casual conversation, Li Xun saw Ye Han off, and then he explored another storage bracelet with his divine sense. The contents were similar to the previous one, with the only difference being an additional black jade talisman.

The jade talisman wasn't large, about three inches long and one inch wide. It felt smooth to the touch and emitted a faint radiance. Unfortunately, there was a crack in the middle.

"This is probably their trump card."

Li Xun thought to himself that he could sense a terrifying energy hidden in the jade talisman. Once activated, it could probably instantly kill a cultivator at the Life-Death Realm. Even a Divine Palace Realm cultivator, if caught off guard, could be severely injured.

"Judging by the crack, it should still be usable twice," Li Xun thought, quite satisfied. This way, he had another ace up his sleeve. In the future, when facing formidable enemies, he could activate the jade talisman to catch them off guard.

"Oh, right."

Li Xun put away the jade talisman, and his expression suddenly changed. He muttered, "It seems like I forgot about another storage bracelet!"

When he rescued Liu Qingshuang, he also killed an extraterritorial demon at the Profound Core Realm. At that time, he was in a hurry to save others, so he didn't pay much attention. Now, upon reflection, Li Xun felt like he had missed out on a fortune.

To be aware, both storage bracelets contained thousands of Blood Essence Stones. The extraterritorial demon he killed was also formidable, so there were likely thousands of Blood Essence Stones inside as well.

"I need to go back and check. Also, I should bring Liu Qingshuang back. It's too dangerous for her to stay alone outside, especially in her injured state."

Thinking like this, Li Xun was about to leave.

However, at that moment,

Boom!

A loud noise resounded. The sky suddenly shattered, or more precisely, the formation that had covered a radius of a hundred miles shattered. Terrifying qi descended, instantly covering an area of several hundred miles.

In the sky, a blazing sun appeared, emitting countless divine lights, illuminating the entire world.

It wasn't a real sun but a colossal creature. Its aura was so terrifying that even the natural dispersion of its qi created such a frightening scene.

Roar!

The giant creature let out a thunderous roar, shaking the void. All the nearby mountains trembled.

"Extraterritorial demons!"

"How dare you act recklessly within the territory of our Xuanyang Sect! Today, I will exterminate evil and uphold justice, cleansing the universe!"

An old but powerful voice came from high above, carrying an unreserved killing intent that sent shivers down one's spine.

Only at this moment did the surviving disciples of the Xuanyang Sect realize the giant creature in the sky.

It was a golden-maned lion, towering over ten meters tall. It stood in the void like a small mountain, radiating golden light as if cast from pure gold.

On the lion's back, a white-haired old man in purple robes stood with hands behind his back. His robe fluttered like a king overseeing the mortal realm.

His eyes opened, and a cold light emanated.

He raised one hand, pointing like a sword. A vigorous qi, like a river of stars, surged, overwhelming the heavens and earth. The brilliance covered the sky, making it impossible to look directly at.

"Hum!"

The old man pointed down.

Countless sword lights burst forth, like a river of stars falling from beyond the clouds. With a loud rumble, they engulfed an area of several hundred miles.

Looking around, it was a vast sea of sword lights.

Fortunately, these sword lights were intentionally avoiding the Xuanyang Sect disciples...

Splatter! Splatter! Splatter!

Continuous sounds echoed.

Even though demons could regenerate limbs, under this endless torrent of sword lights, they couldn't hold on for long. In just a short time, tens of thousands of demons perished.

"Hmm?"

After exterminating the demons, the old man seemed somewhat unsatisfied.

Furrowing his brows, he couldn't help but feel like saying, "Is this all?"

Before this, in the Xuanyang Sect's main hall, several inner disciples were in tears, claiming to have encountered terrifying extraterritorial demons, and even the core disciple Wang Ming couldn't withstand their assault.

Yet now, after slaughtering tens of thousands of demons, not a single one exceeded the Spirit Connection Realm.

Could it be that the current generation of inner disciples in Xuanyang Sect had become so weak?

A total of more than a thousand people, including Life-Death Realm cultivators, Profound Core realm cultivators, and many Spirit Connection Realm disciples. Even with their combined strength, they couldn't handle demons that numbered in the tens of thousands?

In the next moment, the old man's spiritual awareness spread out, and when he scanned a mountain peak, his expression changed.

Swoosh!

With a step, he appeared on top of the mountain in the next instant.

Seeing the appearance of the old man, the surviving inner disciples respectfully saluted.

"We pay our respects to Elder Xie!"

"We pay our respects to Elder Xie!"

"We pay our respects to Elder Xie!"

"Please rise."

Elder Xie raised his hand slightly. When he saw that there were only a few hundred inner disciples left, his expression turned grim. When he left, there were over a thousand, and now less than half remained.

He spoke with a stern voice, "Where is Wang Ming?"

"Senior Brother Wang, he..."

An inner disciple hesitated to speak.

"Speak!"

Elder Xie sternly shouted.

"Senior Brother Wang, he fought against three demons with all his might and, in the end... fell in battle."

"Elder Xie, is it true that you killed the demons that killed Wang Ming?"

Before anyone could respond, Elder Xie noticed two demon corpses nearby. Although their bodies were smashed beyond recognition, it was still apparent that these demons were formidable when alive.

"Did the strongest demon die?"

Elder Xie murmured to himself, feeling a burning sensation on his face. It seemed like he arrived too late.
