Chapter 507: Chapter 505: The Young Lady Truly Is a Lucky Star

Boom!

The Altar Soul Artifact shuddered violently, and the blood flower opened its enormous maw, swallowing the entire altar in one gulp.

Dense, viscous blood threads crawled and spread everywhere, enveloping it completely in the blink of an eye.

Crack!

A piercing sound of shattering echoed out, signaling the collapse of the Altar Soul Artifact.

Although she had been prepared, Men Long still felt a stabbing heartache at this moment, as if her very heart was bleeding.

To hunt down Zuo Guangchen, she had prepared a vast amount of materials in advance.

The whole purpose was to refine them into the Life Soul Seal within this Soul Device, forging her very own powerful Soul Device.

But now, she had lost both her wife and her soldiers—a total loss.

"No matter, with so many unexpected mishaps, Xiao Ming must compensate me!"

Men Long murmured under her breath, her pain finally subsiding a bit.

She stared at the incessantly writhing blood flower, a cold sneer surfacing on her face.

"This blood flower is none other than the extremely rare Blood Demon Soul Flower. With so much Wild Beast Essence devoured, plus a shattered Soul Device, its might is such that even if you possess power near True Monarch Perfection, you would struggle to withstand it."

"Bastard!"

Men Long cursed venomously.

Just thinking of this outcome, her heart filled with pent-up rage.

Even slaughtering the enemy couldn’t vent her ire.

Boom!

Bang! 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Suddenly, violent tremors erupted from within the blood flower.

With ear-splitting muffled explosions, it was as if the threads of the blood flower were bombarding madly within the Soul Device’s space.

The unleashed storms warped the entire mountain ravine’s space, with both faces of the mountain walls quaking and shivering.

The might was utterly terrifying.

This cacophony lasted for dozens of breaths.

The wanton destruction of the blood flower and Altar Soul Artifact seemed to reach its zenith.

Rumble!

A gigantic blood-red wave rose to the sky like a dragon of blood, exploding midair with thunderous force.

One after another, thick blood-colored torrents, thick as pythons, burst in all directions like thunder, laying waste all around.

The mountain walls split open, rocks surging and flying everywhere.

In a flash, the earth quaked, mountains shook, and clouds of dust roared up.

The scarlet beams of blood, numerous as blood snakes, slithered and crawled through the ravine, making one’s skin crawl in terror.

"It’s over."

Men Long raised her smooth chin, pride surging on her graceful face as she coldly murmured.

"Men Long, you bitch, I’ll never let you off!"

A furious roar sounded from within the blood surge, suffused in boundless hatred.

Men Long jolted, her eyes wide as saucers, the veil on her face fluttered with her breathing.

"Impossible?"

"You two, how can you possibly still be alive?"

Stupefied, she stared at the two blurry figures slowly emerging from the waves of blood.

The illusory shadow of the Divine Tripod vanished in an instant.

Xu Yang’s body trembled, violent power bursting out of him.

With a sweep of his sleeve, he unleashed the Ten Thousand Forms Tribulation Seal; his entire power transformed into a catastrophic storm, slicing apart and forcing back the blood tide around him like a hot knife through butter.

The two finally appeared in full before Men Long’s eyes.

Li Chen was covered in wounds, wretched beyond description, as if he’d just been soaked in a vat of blood.

His aura was immensely feeble, and his face as pale as paper.

He glared at Men Long with an undying hatred burning in his eyes!

Xu Yang’s expression was likewise drained, his aura unstable!

But his presence was still formidable, showing no sign of sustaining serious injury.

"How... how did you do it?" Men Long didn’t even glance at Li Chen, but fixed Xu Yang with a venomous stare.

Xu Yang slowly raised his head, a mocking grin on his lips.

In truth, even he hadn’t expected that final sudden outburst, and he had indeed been injured at the time.

Yet Men Long could never imagine Xu Yang carried a Heaven-locking Spirit Mark, a Celestial Refining Divine Tripod such a divine artifact, and an ultimate Secret Technique like the Heaven-Devouring Spirit-Eating Skill.

Sealing himself for a brief instant with his Spirit Mark, with the Tripod resisting the impact, and then swallowing with both divine artifact and skill—

Only then did he escape outright pulverization!

Even now, his Divine Tripod still harbored a vast amount of unrefined energy; he hadn’t had time to deal with it.

"From the moment I ran into you on the edge of the Land of the Fallen, my luck’s been changing ever since."

"Miss, you truly are my bringer of fortune!"

Xu Yang grinned, fists cupped in salute: "Many thanks for your gift!"

"..."

Men Long was shaking with fury, grinding her teeth near to shattering them, strange purple light shooting from her eyes.

"Bastard!"

The furious howl rang through the ravine.

Men Long vanished like a ghost, a storm erupting in her wake, and in the air a purple crescent slashed across the sky.

"Careful."

Li Chen immediately retreated, urgently warning.

Xu Yang’s expression didn’t change; barehanded, feet twisting, he shot into the air in a flash.

He drew on every ounce of power in his bones, and even drew unrefined strength from within the Divine Tripod.

The swell of power almost split his flesh apart.

Xu Yang’s gaze turned cold, and he threw a punch.

He didn’t use the Asura Blood Saber, but this fist contained the true essence of the Collapsing Heaven Divine Blade style.

Obliteration!

Buzz!

The force of the punch pulsed, within a small frame stirring countless, endless, intricate fist shadows in the air.

Boom!

The sky wailed; a hundred zhang region caved in.

The savage force split mountainsides and earth wide open, gaping chasms everywhere.

Fiery violet spiritual light burst into being, like a moon shadow, and fell back at lightning speed.

Bang!

Men Long’s foot shattered the ground, a muffled groan slipping from her lips, her eyes brimming with shock.

To have so much power left after enduring the Altar Soul Artifact and Blood Demon Soul Flower’s onslaught...

She was shaken to her very core.

"Do you know what will happen if you dare offend my Cloud Dream Soul Sect?" Men Long threatened in a frosty voice, her beautiful eyes filled with iciness.

"Cloud Dream Soul Sect?"

Xu Yang licked his lips. "You want to kill me, but I can’t strike back?"

"Hmph, I don’t care where you come from—one comes, I’ll kill one. Two come, I’ll slay the pair!"

Hearing such domineering words, Li Chen’s eyes lit up, unable to resist shouting, "Good!"

"You’re courting death."

Men Long’s eyes narrowed, her aura skyrocketed, and she turned into a purple bolt of lightning in an instant.

Xu Yang stood motionless, but inside him thunder roared.

Minghuo raged!

The Divine Tripod thundered!

Frightening power burned ferociously, a layer of black flames engulfed his body, releasing a terrifying, world-destroying might that made even the heavens tremble.

Boom!

The space above shattered, a flicker of purple light vanishing in a flash.

"We’ll meet again."

Men Long’s sinister shout echoed in the air, but her figure had vanished without a trace.

"She ran already?" Li Chen gaped in shock.

But when he turned to Xu Yang, seeing that black flame-wreathed figure, sensing that horrifying presence, he couldn’t help swallowing hard.

So terrifying!

At this moment, Xu Yang felt like a demon god come to destroy the world.

But then, thinking that Xu Yang had no fear of Men Long’s Illusion Technique, and had such overwhelming presence, her escape made sense.

After all, Cloud Dream Soul Sect’s greatest specialty was Illusion Technique!

Ptui!

Xu Yang shuddered, the Spirit Fire vanishing into his body, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Brother, are you alright?" Li Chen’s face changed.

Xu Yang’s face was ashen as he shook his head weakly.

A moment ago, it had just been a show of strength.

Unless he exposed his full power.

But that would mean giving away his identity.

Xu Yang didn’t want to offend Cloud Dream Soul Sect openly just yet.

"Let’s get out of here first," Xu Yang said to Li Chen.

Li Chen nodded heavily.

The two quickly left.

Somewhere on the edge of Wild Beast Abyss—

Two figures sat cross-legged; it was Xu Yang and Li Chen.

It had been seven days since the last fierce battle.

Their wounds were mostly healed by now.

Boom!

Li Chen’s aura rippled, a wave of Spirit Mark energy radiating from his body; his momentum surged sharply.

Xu Yang glanced at him, surprise flickering in his brow.

Li Chen’s cultivation hadn’t yet broken through True Monarch Middle Realm, but his aura had improved greatly, drawing closer to High-tier True Monarch.

"Congratulations!"

Seeing Li Chen open his eyes, Xu Yang smiled faintly.

"Blessing in disguise. By the way, brother, may I know your surname?" Li Chen asked with a bitter grin.

Xu Yang’s disguised face seemed about thirty; for his age, it was only right to call him Brother.

"Surname Xu," Xu Yang replied casually.

Seeing that Xu Yang wouldn’t even give his real name, Li Chen paused thoughtfully, then saluted solemnly, saying, "Mr. Xu, I owe you my life!"

"This is my messaging imprint. Should you ever need anything, or if you’re targeted by Cloud Dream Soul Sect, message me—I’ll do everything I can to help!"

Li Chen handed over a messaging imprint, speaking every word with determination.

Xu Yang accepted it without protest.

He could sense Li Chen’s identity was definitely not simple!

"By the way, one more thing. I’ve felt something strange." Xu Yang mused.

"What is it?" Li Chen looked at Xu Yang in confusion.

"Deng Tianfang!"
