86: Chapter 86 Heresy Abounds, It Must Be Eradicated

As Chu Chen finished speaking, streaks of blood-colored runes manifested above the Blood Refining Array.

They transformed into countless blood dragons, devouring the myriad cultivators below.

Any cultivator who came into contact with the blood dragons turned into a puddle of blood, which then coalesced into blood crystals and flew toward the center of the Blood Refining Array.

"So he is Chu Chen. Three years ago, he slaughtered the top prodigies of all the major powers in the Nine Provinces single-handedly, and now he intends to refine us to increase his cultivation."

"Chu Chen, you are unworthy of being human! The powers behind us will certainly not let you off."

However, Chu Chen did not respond to their words, focusing instead on fusing these blood crystals.

For a time, screams, wails, and curses erupted throughout the entire Blood Refining Array!!

But none of this could shake Chu Chen's determination to refine the Blood Pill.

As time passed, the cultivators within the Blood Refining Array were completely refined into blood crystals, and Chu Chen saw that the time was ripe.

He immediately took out Su Jiuer's corpse and sent it into the Blood Refining Array.

At the same time, outside the Qingxuan Holy Land!!

"The demonic mist sealing the Qingxuan Holy Land has disappeared!!"

"Everyone, follow me into the Qingxuan Holy Land to rescue the disciples of our sect," an expert said.

"Yes!!! We obey."

At this moment, a grand voice transmitted from across endless space above the Qingxuan Holy Land.

"It has been three years, Ye Shenji. Do you still intend to stop me?"

The next moment, space shattered, and a middle-aged man stepped out, his purple-gold pupils emitting a faint divine light.

"Old Monster Azure Dragon, with me here, don't even think about stepping into this Demonic Mist Forest Sea."

"Hmph, Ye Shenji, he killed the young master of my Azure Dragon Clan; I will definitely avenge this grudge."

As he spoke, an incredibly terrifying aura descended abruptly. Seeing this, the middle-aged man lightly raised his arm, and in an instant, the terrifying aura dissipated.

"If you truly have the ability, then descend your true body into the Demonic Mist Forest Sea, and let's spar!!" the middle-aged man replied bluntly.

"Ye Shenji, by offending my Azure Dragon Clan, the day our clan's ancient ancestor awakens will be the time of your Underworld's destruction." With those words, the voice disappeared completely.

The middle-aged man looked down at the Qingxuan Holy Land.

"Five thousand years have passed. Are you finally about to appear?"

Inside the Qingxuan Holy Land.

Chu Chen looked at the blood pill before him. "Is it done?!"

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. Reward: ten thousand soul banner divine ability, God-Demon Slaying Array.]

[God-Demon Slaying Array: A supreme killing array left behind by the Demon God. It consumes the living souls within the ten thousand soul banner to maintain the array's operation. As long as there are enough living souls, even gods and demons will fall within this array.]

It seems he had completely slaughtered everyone within the Qingxuan Holy Land, otherwise the system would not have prompted that the mission was complete.

This God-Demon Slaying Array is indeed terrifying; as long as there are enough living souls, even gods and demons will fall.

However, the priority now is to first improve his cultivation realm, so Chu Chen swallowed the blood pill before him in one gulp.

As the blood pill entered his body, the next moment, streams of powerful energy burst forth from within Chu Chen, and the aura on his body rose rapidly.

Monstrous demonic energy radiated from his body, yet a sacred aura also permeated outward.

Above Chu Chen, three golden lotus flowers condensed.

However, among the three golden lotuses, the middle one gradually transformed into a black lotus, emitting an eerie black aura, with wisps of scarlet light radiating from it.

In an instant, thunderclouds gathered above the firmament, and thunder roared.

Seeing this, Chu Chen wondered in his heart, "How can there be a lightning tribulation? I am a demonic cultivator, practicing the Demonic Path, not the Heavenly Dao."

Moreover, the method he practiced grew his cultivation by refining and devouring others; he did not cultivate the Heavenly Dao, nor did he respect it.

Why would a lightning tribulation descend upon his breakthrough to the Saint realm?

However, it was not just him; the various major powers rushing in from outside the Qingxuan Holy Land also saw this lightning tribulation.

At this moment, the Sendai experts of various powers said with trepidation, "This... is the Purple Firmament Lightning Tribulation. Someone is breaking through to the Saint realm within this Qingxuan Holy Land."

"Disciples, follow me and retreat. If we are locked onto by this Purple Firmament Lightning Tribulation, I fear we will die under this tribulation before even seeing that great demon."

"Yes!!" For a moment, the crowd that had just entered aggressively was now panic-stricken and retreating outside the Qingxuan Holy Land.

On Chu Chen's side, he had already begun refining the blood pill and paid no attention to the lightning tribulation in the sky.

At this moment, the refinement of the blood pill had reached a critical stage, and if interrupted now, all previous efforts might be wasted.

As time passed, the Purple Firmament Lightning Tribulation above Chu Chen became increasingly dense, as if it could descend at any moment.

A terrifying aura capable of destroying everything emanated from the thunderclouds.

"Not good, Chu Xiaozi! This is not for you to undergo tribulation, but to annihilate you."

However, at this time, Chu Chen was focused on refining the blood pill and did not hear what Ming Yuan was saying at all.

At this moment, the three golden lotuses floating above Chu Chen had completely turned into three black lotuses.

The next moment, these three black lotuses actually began to gradually merge.

They completely transformed into a single, incomparably brilliant black lotus.

"Three flowers merging, condensing into a new, unique existence. Chu Xiaozi, you have completely broken away from the cultivation methods of the Heavenly Dao."

"Boom!"

Chu Chen's body seemed to be ignited, bursting forth with countless rays of dazzling Saint power, yet mixed within them was an incomparably terrifying aura of the Demonic Path.

Just at this moment, the Purple Firmament Lightning Tribulation in the sky had finished gathering.

Like a colossal purple mountain, it pressed down from above, carrying an aura of world-destroying catastrophe, striking straight down toward Chu Chen!

"Chu Xiaozi!!" Ming Yuan shouted anxiously. If this kid didn't wake up, he would have no choice but to step in and block this lightning tribulation for him.

However, the next instant, the black lotus floating above Chu Chen suddenly grew countless times larger.

It blocked the world-destroying purple thunder that was radiating outward.

"Rumble!" The Purple Firmament Lightning Tribulation above the firmament seemed to have been enraged.

The purple divine lightning gathered once more, and its aura was even more terrifying than the last time.

Below, Chu Chen's eyes suddenly snapped open, and a sharp light shot out.

The black lotus also rapidly shrank at this moment, returning into Chu Chen's body.

Chu Chen looked coldly at the lightning tribulation in the sky, his voice icy. "I was wondering, since I don't cultivate the Heavenly Dao, why would there be a lightning tribulation? So, it came to annihilate me."

"Chu Xiaozi, you're finally awake! You worried me to death." Ming Yuan said, "Since you're awake, let's leave quickly. You have already attracted the attention of the Heavenly Dao; if we stay here, it will be very dangerous."

"Leave? They've already come to my doorstep, and I'm supposed to remain indifferent?!"

"Today, I will slay this lightning tribulation."

As he spoke, the blood energy within Chu Chen boiled, and his Saint power surged out.

"Crackle!" The next moment, the purple thunder above the firmament transformed into a thousand-foot thunder dragon, charging toward Chu Chen.

"Tribulation manifestation! Chu Xiaozi, be careful!" No sooner had Ming Yuan spoken than he saw Chu Chen charging head-on to clash with the thunder dragon.

Clutching the ten thousand demons immortal devouring sword tightly in his hand, he swung a sword strike. "A mere lightning tribulation, I will slay it with one sword."

In an instant, the winds and clouds changed color, and the heavens and earth seemed to be torn asunder.

Wherever the black sword light passed, the void shattered and the thunder was annihilated.

In an instant, it engulfed the thousands of roaring thunder dragons that were pouncing toward him.

However, just at this moment, a giant golden eye tore through space and manifested above the firmament.

Vast heavenly might suppressed this world. "Heresy emerges, must be destroyed!!"
