Chapter 2024
An invisible shockwave spread out, even causing the distant gray mist to swirl and dance in the air.
He stared intently at these strange creatures, his heart growing heavier with each glance—they were not as orderly as innate gods and demons, but rather more like a combination of various ancient immortal beings forcibly spliced together and evolved.
Some had wolf heads and spider bodies, some had snake tails and eagle wings, and some even had arms that were thick tentacles covered with sticky black venom.
Such a ferocious and terrifying appearance makes people uneasy, and even their souls tremble.
What's even more terrifying is their aura; each of the eighteen creatures is different: some carry a bloodthirsty, murderous scent, as if they had just crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Some exude a gloomy, chilling aura that can freeze one's spiritual power; others possess a wild and chaotic energy, as if they might go berserk at any moment.
Based on his years of combat experience, Chen Xuan instantly judged that even if he used his Three Heads and Six Arms, Law of Heaven and Earth, and superimposed three divine body phenomena, each of these eighteen beings would still possess the strength of a third-class True Immortal or a first-class Celestial Immortal.
"What bad luck." Chen Xuan clicked his tongue, already understanding in his heart, "I just entered the Devouring Demon Star Ruins and encountered the creatures evolved from this world. Judging from the evil aura on their bodies, they were probably corrupted by the strange quasi-emperor's will that fell in the Immortal Ancient Era and became its henchmen."
These beings, controlled by evil wills, will only bring trouble sooner or later if left unchecked.
Chen Xuan's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he coldly shouted, "If that's the case, then today I will annihilate you all!"
"Kill!" The leading spider-humanoid creature roared, swinging all six of its arms simultaneously.
In an instant, the entire void was stirred up and churned. Although the eighteen giant spirits had no divine weapons, they each unleashed their innate divine powers: some opened their mouths and spewed out crimson flames and poisonous threads, which intertwined in the air to form a net, burning tiny holes in the void wherever they passed.
Some of their eyes emitted eerie purple divine light, which fell into the void and dyed the air a highly poisonous purple.
Several other creatures, their bellies bulging, frantically pounded their abdomens with their multiple arms—the muffled thuds echoing through the air like ripples, causing even Chen Xuan's soul to feel a sharp pain wherever they passed.
Multiple attacks came simultaneously, and Chen Xuan was instantly under pressure. Divine light and demonic sounds rampaged through his soul, making his spiritual power for swordsmanship sluggish. The ultimate sword technique that could originally unleash its full power was forcibly reduced by 20%.
What made him even more wary was that the spider-like humanoid creature was always roaming in the distance, constantly shooting out jet-black arrows from its blood-red bow. Each arrow that pierced the air carried a ferocious power capable of tearing through Chen Xuan's divine body's defenses, setting off alarm bells and forcing him to focus all his attention on dealing with it.
Chen Xuan knew that even though his sixth-level Battle Glazed Body had amazing defensive power, if he allowed the arrows to keep bombarding him, after dozens or even hundreds of times, the huge impact would inevitably cause his blood and qi to surge. At that time, let alone counterattack, he would probably not even be able to stand up and completely lose the ability to fight head-on.
Despite feeling the pressure of this encirclement, Chen Xuan was not afraid; instead, his eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit.
He tightened his grip on the Northern Darkness Sword and roared, "Not at my limit yet! Perfect for practicing my moves with you all!"
Before he finished speaking, the six Northern Darkness Swords around Chen Xuan suddenly began to spin rapidly, their spiritual light intertwining to form a pale golden halo.
The next moment, a massive amount of crimson, viscous flames erupted from his body. When the flames landed, they did not burn the void, but spread along the fluctuations of spiritual energy, instantly covering a 100,000-mile-wide airspace centered on him, enveloping all eighteen strange creatures within them.
"Ouch—that hurts! What kind of fire is this?"
"Master! It's the Red Lotus Karmic Fire! He actually cultivates the Red Lotus Karmic Fire!"
The screams of the eerie creatures rose and fell, and their originally ferocious aura weakened by more than half in an instant.
