254: It's hard to contain!

"Forget it. I will temporarily avoid the sharp edge and settle the score with all of you one by one after my cultivation recovers!"

After thinking it over, Mu Han also felt this matter was quite tricky.

He had originally thought that the Southern Wilderness Region was full of frogs in a well who had never seen the world, and that his own strength was enough to easily crush them.

When his Junior Brother Shen Yuan fell into the hands of the other party, he had been quite disdainful at the time, thinking it was a disgrace to his status as a Disciple of a Nascent Soul sect.

It wasn't until it was his turn to handle it himself that he realized how troublesome the Cultivators in this place were.

However, that was all there was to it.

When the day came for his cultivation to recover, it would be the time for the Southern Wilderness Region to be bathed in blood!

A cruel smile appeared on Mu Han's face, yet before that smile could fully spread, it suddenly stiffened.

Just a moment ago, he had sensed an extremely subtle yet heart-palpitating abnormality coming from the depths of his Dantian, as if some balance had been silently broken!

But just as he was puzzled.

"Crack—"

An invisible fissure spread from the depths of his Golden Core Origin.

Before he could react, an indescribable, intense pain erupted from the core of the Golden Core!

"Ugh, ah—"

Mu Han groaned, his body trembling violently, and the veins on his forehead instantly bulged.

He hurriedly looked inward at himself, only to be horrified to find that the Golden Core, which had originally been flowing with golden light and contained his dao foundation, now had a clear crack silently crawling up it!

What was even more terrifying was that the incomparably condensed 【Origin Golden Nature】 inside the Golden Core was now uncontrollably leaking out through the crack into thin air.

"How is this possible!!"

Mu Han was both shocked and angry, trying to circulate his Cultivation Technique to stabilize the Golden Core, but the loss of the Origin Golden Nature seemed to originate from a rule on a higher level.

Although the speed was not fast, it was steady and continuous; no matter how he tried to remedy it, it was difficult to contain it in the slightest.

An unprecedented panic spread through Mu Han's heart.

If he let it continue like this, his Realm falling would be a minor matter; what he feared most was the Golden Core shattering, cutting off his path to the Immortal Dao!!

And this sudden, abnormal reaction from Mu Han immediately caught the attention of Empress Jiang beneath him, as well as the other concubines.

All the women felt the violently fluctuating and chaotic Qi on him.

Especially Empress Jiang, who was closest to Mu Han!

She keenly sensed that the pressure which had originally made her feel incomparably terrified and unable to resist, had now appeared to collapse for an instant.

Even the sensation coming from her red lips had a kind of... powerless softness?

"Is this... a problem with his body?"

A flash of doubt crossed Empress Jiang's beautiful eyes.

Immediately, a crazy thought sprouted in her heart like wild grass.

An opportunity! This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Although she didn't know what had happened to Mu Han, it was clear that there was a problem with his body.

If she were to rise up and attack now, would there be a chance to take his life while he was sick?

As long as she could successfully kill this Devil Head before her, and then have all the concubines in this hall who had witnessed her humiliation be buried with the late emperor, then she could not only escape the devil's claws but also completely bury this humiliating past!

In that way, she would still be that high and mighty, elegant and noble Empress of the Immortal Dynasty!

Thinking of this, Empress Jiang's eyes flickered.

The desire for survival and the yearning for freedom instantly overwhelmed her fear, and killing intent boiled in her eyes!

"Slut, what are you thinking about!"

Just as Empress Jiang's mind was surging, Mu Han's ice-cold voice exploded from above her head.

Although Mu Han was currently suffering the pain and panic of the loss of 【Origin Golden Nature】, his perception of the Qi around him had not been completely lost.

How could the strange thoughts that Empress Jiang instantly revealed be hidden from his spiritual sense?

Seeing that her thoughts had been exposed, Empress Jiang was terrified, but she still tried to squeeze out a fawning smile on her face, attempting to cover it up.

However, Mu Han reached out a large hand and grabbed her chin, lifting her up.

The force was so great that it almost crushed her jawbone, and Empress Jiang struggled desperately in mid-air in pain.

"Smile? Did I allow you to smile!"

Mu Han's voice was full of violence and madness. His mood was extremely bad at this moment. His own dao foundation problem had not been solved, yet this slut dared to have other thoughts!

In a fit of rage, he almost crushed this beautiful head directly.

But thinking about it again, Mu Han stopped his movements.

It wasn't that he suddenly felt pity, but rather that he felt it would be too wasteful to just kill her; he might as well make use of the waste!

Mu Han endured the throbbing pain from the Golden Core and the feeling of emptiness from the loss of the Origin, and his other hand quickly pinched a magic seal.

That mysterious yet ominous Source Tracing and Returning to Truth Method was suddenly activated!

"Since you are not honest, then use everything you have to make up for my loss!"

As the words fell, an invisible force instantly enveloped Empress Jiang.

She widened her eyes in terror, feeling her own vitality, cultivation, and even her Foundation Establishment Origin, which was approaching Perfection, being crazily extracted by an irresistible force.

Then, following Mu Han's palm, it was continuously injected into his body in an attempt to make up for the Origin deficit of that Golden Core.

"No... no!"

Empress Jiang let out a shrill wail. Her plump, delicate body withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Her originally smooth and delicate skin instantly lost its luster and became covered in wrinkles, and her black, beautiful long hair became gray and withered.

In just a few breaths, a generation of Immortal Dynasty Empresses, the once mother of the world, the elegant and noble Lady Jiang, was drained of all vitality and Origin in endless pain and despair!

Finally, she turned into a withered, hideous-looking dried corpse, which Mu Han tossed aside like trash.

"Not enough! It is still far from enough!"

Feeling that the loss of the Golden Core Origin had recovered slightly due to Empress Jiang's 'replenishment', but the Foundation Establishment Origin was merely a drop in the bucket compared to the Golden Core level, and the dissipation was still continuing.

Fortunately, doing this could indeed distribute a part of his own abnormality!

Thinking of this, Mu Han did not even glance at the dried corpse on the ground. His scarlet gaze swept toward the other concubines in the hall who were already scared to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, hugging each other and trembling.

As long as he devoured this group of people, perhaps he could still remedy it!

Mu Han was a bit insane at this moment. Even though he knew that using the Source Tracing and Returning to Truth Method would damage his own Luck and would be a great obstacle to his future Breakthrough in cultivation, it was still better than doing nothing now!

Therefore, fear and madness drove him to pounce on these concubines who used to serve his carnal pleasures.

"Ah! Spare me, My Lord!"

"Don't kill me, I... I can do anything!"

"Ah! Devil Head! You will die a horrible death!"

"..."

The shrill screams and desperate curses echoed one after another in Fengyi Palace.

Mu Han was like a grim reaper. As his figure flashed, the Source Tracing and Returning to Truth Method was cast again and again.

One after another, living lives had their Origins drained in despair, turning into dried corpses lying across the main hall, their deaths incomparably miserable.

The luxurious palace, which used to have singing and dancing, instantly turned into a living hell.
