301: Take

Could it be that someone was ambushing them?

In an instant, everyone was somewhat panicked.

The place they had come to was the Four Profound Heavens, the main base of the demon beasts.

If something really happened here, no one would be able to save them.

An unexplainable irritation surged in their hearts, but judging by the attacks, the perpetrator should not be of the Heavenly Imperial Realm level.

But if it were a Void Union Realm level, the activation of a domain would cause such obvious commotion; there was no reason they couldn't even find out who attacked them by now.

To reduce the influence of the opponent's domain, these Void Union Realm cultivators also activated their own domains.

But upon opening them, another astonishing scene unfolded.

All of their domains were suppressed within a very small range, only a few centimeters from their body surfaces.

Domains that normally could cover hundreds or thousands of kilometers when opened had all lost their due power at this moment.

Even so, despite being barely enveloped by their own domains, they still couldn't resist the effect of the domain covering them.

Some wanted to escape, but they were horrified to find that the spatial power, which had always been effective, was useless here.

An attack was launched, but it was like a mud ox entering the sea; the space in front of them showed no reaction.

Seeing that spatial power was useless, they immediately planned to use their own speed to escape from here.

But their speed also seemed to be suppressed, with every step they took enduring immense pressure.

Helpless, they could only move in a certain direction at an extremely slow pace.

Gradually, they began to look at those around them with ill intent.

The killing intent in their hearts grew increasingly uncontrollable, almost causing them to lose their minds.

Xiao Ran, as a high-level alchemist, secretly took the opportunity to pop a golden pill into his mouth.

This was a pill he had once refined to calm the mind, reduce distracting thoughts, and protect the soul; he hadn't expected it to be useful here today.

This pill made his condition slightly better than the others, but only slightly.

And as time passed, the speed at which killing intent grew did not increase, but decreased.

This made them extremely wary, because if this continued, anyone could initiate an attack first.

"Ah!"

Finally, someone couldn't hold back, their eyes bloodshot, like a beast that had lost its mind, roaring as they suddenly attacked the person closest to them.

But everyone was already prepared for this; under such intense killing intent, it was predictable that someone would not be able to hold on.

The person attacked was also prepared, dodging the blow without any surprise or danger.

But this action, like a spark, quickly ignited the emotions in everyone's hearts.

Everyone seemed to be infected; where there was one, there was a second, a third…

They had also endured with extreme difficulty and could no longer hold on.

When a large number of indiscriminate bombardments began, no one could remain aloof.

But once they acted, it would only further stimulate the killing intent.

Once the desire to fight arose, the killing intent would become unstoppable.

Soon, everyone was completely engulfed in a 瘋狂 killing intent, fighting and slaughtering each other.

But with Chen De's domain in place, none of the commotion could escape the island.

Soon, Chen De's figure gradually appeared in the field, coming before one person, who was Xiao Ran.

At this time, with his mind completely filled with thoughts of slaughter, he surprisingly did not notice the living person standing beside him.

Chen De had also seen Xiao Ran's small actions just now; although the final result was the same as everyone else, everything he did was useless.

But undeniably, perhaps it was because his cultivation was higher than others, or perhaps it was the effect of the pill, or perhaps both.

He indeed lasted longer than the others, and by a significant margin.

What Chen De was most interested in about him was nothing other than his alchemy.

After all, when Chen De refined Source Beads, it could also be considered alchemy.

It was just that, unlike Xiao Ran, Chen De refined pills with heaven and earth, with all living beings, and with a benevolent heart.

But there were ultimately similarities between the two, and perhaps knowledge about alchemy could perfectly complement, or even improve, Chen De's methods for refining Source Beads.

Without hesitation, Chen De separated a stream of black liquid, which surged madly into Xiao Ran's seven orifices.

Xiao Ran, who had lost his mind and was only left with killing intent, struggled wildly, but to no avail.

Chen De did not see any unwillingness in his eyes, which proved that Xiao Ran's heart actually accepted Chen De's enlightenment.

After all, if others were unwilling, Chen De would not force them to join the sect.

A forced melon is not sweet; Chen De understood this principle.

He sought only those who were kind-hearted and took the welfare of all beings as their responsibility.

At this time, the enlightenment was nearing its end, and the black liquid had almost all entered.

A slight curve appeared at the corner of Xiao Ran's mouth.

Look at him, after being enlightened, how happy and joyful he smiles!

After Xiao Ran's enlightenment was complete, he turned to face Chen De, his expression pious, his hands clasped together, saying, "Thank you, Supreme Holy Mother, for the grace of enlightenment today, allowing me to escape the sea of suffering. From now on, I shall surely bring benefit to all living beings."

Chen De held one hand vertically before his chest and the other in a cupped gesture, saying, "I have heard of no grace, only of one more benevolent person!"

"Excellent, excellent!"

After thinking for a moment, the others couldn't be let go either, so they would all be enlightened together.

Good deeds are not measured by size; one must seize every opportunity to do good.

Chen De knew that some of these people had Heavenly Imperial Realm level powerhouses behind them, but what did that matter?

In this place, where the sky was high and the emperor far away, Chen De and the other party were separated by two realms.

Let alone enlightening a few small Void Union Realm cultivators, even if he… hehehe… what could they do?

At worst, when Chen De returned, he would change his identity and destroy all these people; who could still trouble him then?

Moreover, if this trip went smoothly, by the time he returned, Chen De should have already broken through to the Demon Emperor Realm.

After all, Chen De's various attribute points were now fully maxed out.

His breakthrough attribute points had also accumulated to the point where each was just one step away.

What he lacked now was merely the worry that he might not be able to find a suitable individual to devour within the stipulated time after breaking through.

With only seven days, Chen De did not want to miss or waste an opportunity.

Having made his decision, Chen De quickly acted, enlightening all the Void Union Realm cultivators who were still fighting.

Each of them had eyes red from fighting, covered in blood, but fortunately, there were injuries but no deaths, and all were successfully preserved.

This time, Chen De merely wanted to test the power of his domain; since breaking through to the Demon Domain Realm, Chen De had used his domain only a handful of times.

Most of the time, he had killed with overwhelming force, and in the remaining peak battles, it seemed to have little effect.

However, on these ordinary Void Union Realm cultivators, Chen De saw the effect.

Especially Void Union Realm Eighth Stage cultivators like Xiao Ran were completely unable to resist the power of Chen De's domain.

From beginning to end, Chen De had not made a single move, yet these people were almost completely annihilated.
