CHAPTER 1140: CHAPTER 1140: DEATH RUNE

Xu Nian punched through the Zifu of that Earth Immortal Realm individual, rendering him unable to continue cultivation.

The once brilliant Light Pearl suddenly dimmed.

Xu Nian held the Light Pearl, but felt a surge of immense Light Power within it.

"Indeed, it’s a Mid-grade Immortal Artifact. No wonder it possesses such formidable power," Xu Nian thought to himself.

This guy only unleashed one ten-thousandth of the Light Pearl’s power, and it was already so strong. If fully activated, its power would surely be terrifying.

"Return the Light Pearl to me!" the Earth Immortal Realm expert roared.

Xu Nian sneered and tossed him directly to Shi Guangxu, "Keep an eye on them for me."

"Don’t worry, watching over two useless people is something I can handle," Shi Guangxu chuckled, casually slapping the struggling Earth Immortal Realm expert.

The expert was furious, but completely powerless to fight back.

Shi Guangxu laughed coldly, firmly stepping on him, preventing any movement.

These Spiritual Cultivators whose cultivation was crippled were really just slightly stronger than ordinary people.

Even though their bodies were strengthened, they were still flesh and blood, not a match for Shi Guangxu.

Everyone around looked astonished; four people dealt with Xu Nian, and now only one was left.

Could it really be that the final outcome would be Xu Nian’s victory?

"A bunch of useless waste!" Guihai Qinglong couldn’t help but shout in anger.

He didn’t like Xu Nian from the start and wanted to eliminate him even more after learning about Xu Nian’s identity.

Seeing Xu Nian become so powerful, a strong sense of jealousy arose in his heart.

"Qinglong, don’t rush, isn’t there still Chen Qing? Chen Qing isn’t easy to deal with. Even though Xu Nian has mastered Space Profound Argumentation, it’s evidently still at the First Level Domain Realm. Chen Qing should be able to handle him." Guihai Badao said.

"Oh? Is Chen Qing’s trump card really that powerful?" Guihai Qinglong’s face showed a hint of surprise upon hearing this.

"You’ll see. Even I have some apprehension about Guihai Qinglong’s trump card," Elder Yu Mo remarked with a smile.

Guihai Qinglong was taken aback, unable to help but look at Chen Qing.

Unexpectedly, Chen Qing had such means, even his Master feared him.

Considering Elder Yu Mo’s cultivation for thousands of years, despite being only at the Late Stage Earth Immortal Realm, he’s definitely one of the best among Earth Immortals.

For him to feel threatened, Chen Qing’s methods must be extraordinary.

"I hope he can defeat him. I’m quite curious about his expression after losing," Guihai Qinglong sneered, looking at Xu Nian with mockery.

Xu Nian paid no attention to the gazes of the people around. His eyes were fixed on Chen Qing.

Although he had already dealt with three out of four people, they were just henchmen.

The real enemy was only Chen Qing.

Regarding Chen Qing, Xu Nian was not careless in the slightest.

If he could reach the position of a Sect Master, his hidden cards must be impressive.

"Sect Leader Chen, now it’s just you left. It’s time for you to make your move. But I must remind you, if you lose, all three of you must die here today." Xu Nian smiled as he spoke to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing’s face was incredibly grim, his gaze sharp and piercing.

However, Chen Qing did not show anger but instead became calm.

This made Xu Nian even more vigilant.

If Chen Qing were angry, there would be nothing much to worry about.

But Chen Qing appearing calm at this moment was a sign of danger.

"Kid, I admit we underestimated your strength. You first hid your true cultivation to lure us in, then concealed your identity as a Space Controller. In fairness, they didn’t lose unjustly." Chen Qing spoke, his gaze fierce but remarkably calm.

"You’re too kind!" Xu Nian responded with a smile.

Chen Qing sneered, "But if you think you’ve already won, then sorry, you’re being naive."

With those words, Chen Qing’s eyes became exceptionally fierce.

Xu Nian’s face changed, feeling a sense of danger.

Chen Qing sneered as his figure began to change.

Chen Qing’s muscles bulged instantly, his entire body swelling in size.

The most notable change was that two horns grew on his head, and strange patterns appeared on his face.

The expression on his face turned exceptionally ferocious.

"What is this..." Li Tiangang and others were startled, looking at Chen Qing.

"Death Rune?" Liu Bai Ru was also surprised.

"Yes, the Death Rune... It’s said that using such runes can instantly boost one’s power by dozens of times, but the price is losing a hundred years of lifespan each time it’s used. The stronger the power boost, the more lifespan is lost. However, such runes have long been lost. How can Chen Qing know this rune?" Li Tiangang explained.

The people around him were shocked upon hearing this.

Exchanging lifespan for power?

What kind of method is this?

But cultivators have at least several thousand years of lifespan. People like him, who’ve forged an Immortal Body, should have at least nine thousand years.

In that case, wouldn’t it be extraordinarily terrifying?

Xu Nian was also surprised. He didn’t expect Chen Qing to know such a secret technique.

At this moment, the fluctuations emanating from Chen Qing had exceeded that of an ordinary Late Stage Earth Immortal Realm.

"Looks like it’s really tricky!" Xu Nian murmured to himself.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

A terrifying force surged towards him.

Xu Nian hurriedly dodged.

A fist swept past his cheek.

The terrifying fist wind caused Xu Nian’s face to ache.

"Such speed! Such strong fist force!"

Xu Nian thought to himself.

But before he could finish his thought, a fist landed squarely on his abdomen.

"Pffft!"

Xu Nian spat blood, and his body flew backward rapidly.

His entire abdomen felt as if it were being torn apart.

Large wings unfurled behind Xu Nian, halting his momentum.

"So strong, even I couldn’t withstand that punch!" Li Tiangang couldn’t help but exclaim.

Liu Bai Ru and the others also looked serious; the power of that punch was indeed terrifying.

Not knowing if Xu Nian could defeat Chen Qing.

Guihai Qinglong and others sneered, looking at Xu Nian with mockery.

Chen Qing stood proudly, looking at Xu Nian coldly, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Boy, you were too arrogant before. From now on, I’ll make you understand that anyone who dares to insult Chen Qing is destined to die!" Chen Qing shouted fiercely, then charged at Xu Nian.

His speed was so fast, it was like a green ray of light!
