In fact, although he was momentarily bewitched by the Nine-Tailed Fairy Fox Qingqiu Ziyi, his strength should not have left him with no possibility of avoiding danger. However, at the moment he was enchanted, he felt as if time in the void had stopped, and he could only watch helplessly as that peculiar sword pierced through him in an instant.
He lowered his head and looked at Qin Chen, seeing something he would never forget for the rest of his life, or perhaps the last thing he would ever see.
It was a pitch-black sword, shimmering with a strange light. Unlike the green demon sword Qin Chen had previously taken out, this pitch-black sword impaled him into the void, easily tearing apart his flesh.
“Ah!”
He felt a murderous intent that could tear apart the universe, threatening to seize his consciousness. The strange powers emanating from this mysterious sword caused the strength within him to continuously diminish. He even saw cold forces coming from the sword, devouring his mind.
At that moment, in his thoughts, the void disappeared, the universe vanished, even the opponent faded away; his entire being was filled with only one thing—the pitch-black sword in front of him.
“Was that just now... the Law of Time...”
A figure inexplicably appeared in his mind, recalling some scenes from when he walked the Void Tidal Sea before. There was a scene in the Void Sea where a human genius used the Law of Time to contend against a Demon Tribe’s Demon Lord. At this moment, the figure of that human genius overlapped with Qin Chen’s figure before him, causing his eyes to freeze in place.
“You...”
He wanted to say something, even wanted to break free, but he couldn't even move because the sword that pierced through his body crazily consumed his essence blood, even stunning his soul. A ghostly aura completely imprisoned him here, as terrifying devouring powers surged forth, consuming everything about him.
At this moment, even if his cultivation were slightly higher, it would be useless. Or rather, even if he were not heavily injured now, he still could not escape.
He finally understood Qin Chen's previous endless means, not even fearing a peak Saint Master like himself. It turned out that the other party not only had peak Saint Master-level experts by his side but even managed to escape from a Demon Lord. Although he was unsure if the Qin Chen before him was truly that person, he had a feeling that he was.
But what he didn’t understand was, if this person was indeed the human genius being hunted by that Demon Lord, why didn’t the peak Saint Masters of the Demon Tribe help him back then?
At this moment, such thoughts surged in his mind.
“Boom!” The mysterious rusty sword pierced through the body of the peak Saint Master of the Konghai Tribe, erupting with loud booming sounds. The body of that Konghai Tribe powerhouse instantly exploded, and endless essence blood gushed out, creating sprays of blood mist.
However, this blood mist did not splatter everywhere; instead, it was completely devoured by the mysterious rusty sword. The sword let out a sharp cry, as if it were extremely excited, unable to remain still, with dark and sinister powers rapidly emerging, and the sword body buzzed and trembled.
Eventually, the gaze of the peak Saint Master of the Konghai Tribe completely dimmed. His soul was painfully consumed by the mysterious rusty sword, letting out a wailing scream, as if a multitude of souls were being cut apart.
After devouring the soul of the peak Saint Master of the Konghai Tribe, the mysterious rusty sword sought to consume the very essence within him.
"Hmph!"
Qin Chen let out a cold snort, directly employing the Heavenly Soul Forbidden Technique to suppress the mysterious rusty sword. The sword continued to tremble, as if resisting Qin Chen’s suppression, but it was forcefully subdued and collected into the Qian Kun Transformation Jade Plate. At the same time, Qin Chen raised a hand and swiftly gathered the essence, storage ring, and the holy weapon trident from the Konghai Tribe powerhouse.
