Then, a powerful aura erupted from his body, a storm of violent energy surging out!

Transcendent Realm Peak!!

Yet, even though Chen Xiao had only just advanced to the Transcendent Realm Peak, he gave them a strong sense of oppression!

Before breaking through to the Transcendent Realm Peak, Chen Xiao’s combat power was already comparable to Transcendent Realm Peak Martial Artists. Coupled with his physical strength, martial skills, and other means like magic artifacts, he could even wrestle with a Half-step Transcendent!

Now, having truly stepped into the Transcendent Peak, his strength surged to a whole new level once again!

Even the previously arrogant Lake and Sea Wanderer now looked solemn.

"This boy is something else; he just broke through to the Transcendent Peak and already has such a terrifying aura?"

He felt that before he entered the Half-step Sky Realm, just one encounter would result in him being instantly obliterated by the current Chen Xiao. Even at this moment, he felt a strong sense of threat!

Chen Xiao expressionlessly glanced at the Wushen Sect disciples still surrounding Zi Yuan and Xiyue...

The next second!

Swish!!!

His figure turned into a blur, disappearing from sight in an instant.

Then, sword light flashed!

A series of screams erupted as blood blossoms bloomed in the air.

With every sword strike, Chen Xiao slayed a Wushen Sect disciple.

They didn’t even have time to react before Chen Xiao’s sword sealed their throats.

Simple, brutal, powerful!

Chen Xiao, as if a god of death, was reaping lives, his white robes stained with blood.

"This kid broke through, and maybe, this time, we’re really saved!"

"Hope he can take down this Lake and Sea Wanderer!"

The remaining elders of the Xuantian Sect and the strongmen of the Great Zhou Imperial Family also breathed a sigh of relief.

This kid, having broken through to the Transcendent Peak, should be able to contend with Lake and Sea Wanderer, right?

"Retreat!" Seeing the Wushen Sect disciples getting slaughtered one after another, Lake and Sea Wanderer hurriedly shouted.

If Chen Xiao continued the massacre, the people he brought this time would be completely wiped out.

Chen Xiao, expressionless, continued his slaughter.

In the blink of an eye, over ten Wushen Sect disciples lay on the ground, blood gushing from their throats.

All had their throats sealed by a single sword strike.

Only two or three barely managed to escape.

Lake and Sea Wanderer’s expression turned particularly grim as he stepped towards Chen Xiao.

Today, this boy must die.

The Blood Soul Banner in his hand emitted an even more intense and violent bloody aura, that pungent smell and evil energy seemingly about to overflow.

The wailing of thousands of resentful souls echoed in everyone’s ears.

"Kill!"

He shouted, and with a wave of the Blood Soul Banner, a black mist turned into a dragon, rushing straight at Chen Xiao.

In that dragon formed by black mist were hideous human faces, roaring towards Chen Xiao like vengeful ghosts demanding life.

Chen Xiao swung his sword.

The violent sword qi instantly surged into the black mist, and at the moment they clashed, the black mist was directly shredded by his sword qi!

"What?!"

Lake and Sea Wanderer completely couldn’t believe the terror of Chen Xiao’s sword attack.

His Blood Soul Banner was a Mid-Grade Heavenly level magic treasure, with peculiar attributes, naturally restraining many magic treasures. If it met ordinary martial artists it would be totally suppressive.

And yet, it was easily broken by Chen Xiao?!

Chen Xiao stepped towards him, eyes cold, "It’s your time to go."

This Lake and Sea Wanderer was of the Wushen Sect, and the Blood Soul Banner contained so many resentful souls; who knows how many people were slaughtered during its sacrificial refinement.

Chen Xiao absolutely would not let him go.

"Boy, with just you, dare to send me off?" Lake and Sea Wanderer’s old face was full of savagery, "Today, I’ll let you see clearly just how vast the gap is between Half-step Sky Realm and Transcendent Realm!"

With that, he directly bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of essence blood onto the Blood Soul Banner.

A more concentrated and eerie black mist emerged from the Blood Soul Banner.

This mist appeared extremely terrifying.

Then, countless ferocious resentful souls roared out from within, their faces filled with viciousness, ultimately combining into a monstrous figure three zhang high, covered entirely with human faces.

"Tear it apart!" Lake and Sea Wanderer shouted loudly.

This is the Artifact Soul of the Blood Soul Banner, named Blood Ghost.

The combat power of this Blood Ghost is terrifying, a monster formed from numerous Resentful Souls devoured by the Blood Soul Banner. Even Lake and Sea Wanderer himself isn’t a match for this Blood Soul!

The Blood Ghost’s eyes were crimson, and the heads of those Resentful Souls emitted piercing cries, transforming into a dark shadow, rushing towards Chen Xiao.

The claw formed by the dark energy was extremely sharp.

Seeing this, Lake and Sea Wanderer sneered; this Blood Ghost is not simple.

Not only can it tear apart physical bodies, but if attacked by it, even the mind would suffer severe trauma!

This is the most eerie means of the Blood Ghost.

However, Chen Xiao merely sneered, and in the next moment, the Nine Refinement Spirit Tower appeared in his palm.

As he infused Spiritual Power into it, the entire Nine Refinement Spirit Tower erupted with dazzling light, a powerful suction force burst forth, as if a magical vortex, immediately gripping the Blood Ghost firmly in place, unable to move!

"Absorb! Refine!" Chen Xiao shouted lowly, and the vortex unleashed an even more terrifying power, forcibly twisting the Blood Ghost’s body, tearing it apart bit by bit...

First, it was the arm.

Then, the torso.

Finally, only a little bit of the body remained...

Accompanied by the cries and screams of countless Resentful Souls.

In the end, they were all crushed into a mass of black mist within the vortex, completely devoured by the Nine Refinement Spirit Tower... eventually disappearing without a trace!

And at that moment, the Blood Soul Banner in Lake and Sea Wanderer’s hand also shattered.

"Crack—"

The entire Magic Artifact was ruined.

This Blood Ghost, similar to the Artifact Spirit of the Blood Soul Banner, had been swallowed by the Nine Refinement Spirit Tower.

The Blood Soul Banner naturally became a pile of scrap iron.

Lake and Sea Wanderer suffered a backlash, immediately spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"How is it possible?!

My Blood Soul Banner was destroyed just like that?!

"Kid! You dare destroy my Blood Soul Banner, I will surely kill you!" Lake and Sea Wanderer roared furiously.

"Since you love this Blood Soul Banner so much, then let me send you in to meet it." Chen Xiao said, and the Nine Refinement Spirit Tower in his hand suddenly flew into the air, continually enlarging.

Afterwards, the frightening suction force transmitted once again from the tower, suppressing Lake and Sea Wanderer!

This time, not only Lake and Sea Wanderer, but even the Wushen Sect disciples were all firmly held by the Nine Refinement Spirit Tower. The formidable suction ultimately formed individual vortexes, like a tornado, gripping them tightly!

"Crack!"

"Tear—"

The sound of bones cracking, and the sound of physical destruction rang out.

This vortex carried a terrifying killing power, easily destroying their bodies.

"Let us go..."

"We won’t dare again..."

Those Martial Artists trapped by the Nine Refinement Spirit Tower pleaded incessantly.

Chen Xiao said calmly, "Begging? I’ve specially prepared this surprise for you, so that you can fully enjoy the taste of fear in the process of waiting for death..."

The vortex formed by the Nine Refinement Spirit Tower, like a giant grinding disk, crushed them bit by bit, letting them personally feel the pain of their limbs and torsos being obliterated.

Lake and Sea Wanderer’s half body was crushed, his eyes filled with hopeless fear, pleading desperately, "I beg you, as long as you let me go, I am willing to serve you like an ox or horse, willing to pay any price!"

"The price is your life!"

Chen Xiao, expressionless, merely accelerated the refining speed of the Nine Refinement Spirit Tower.

In the next moment, Lake and Sea Wanderer, still loudly begging for mercy, had half his face obliterated, and in less than five seconds, his entire head was completely shattered by the engulfing vortex.

Finally, his entire being was swallowed into the Nine Refinement Spirit Tower, no longer a sound to be heard.

The entire scene returned to complete calm.

After devouring Lake and Sea Wanderer and these Wushen Sect disciples, Chen Xiao felt that the Nine Refinement Spirit Tower was infused with a vast pure energy.

Chen Xiao clicked his tongue.

This Nine Refinement Spirit Tower is indeed defying the heavens, capable of refining all things!

This Spirit King seemed kind and benevolent, yet judging by the Nine Refinement Spirit Tower’s effects, during his wanderings in the martial world, he likely wasn’t someone easy-going.

The Blood Soul Banner at least left you with a Resentful Soul.

But the Nine Refinement Spirit Tower, when it refines something, leaves nothing at all!
