Lightning surged on Qin Chen's body, fiercely resisting the devouring of the black tentacles. Scorch marks were left on the black tentacles, but even though the thunderous power within Qin Chen could injure a Venerable, it only left scorch marks on the tentacles and failed to inflict any fatal damage.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The black tentacle writhed in agony, thrashing wildly. Suddenly, Qin Chen's body twisted, his bones fracturing completely. The scene was extremely tragic, and blood gushed forth.
“Chen!” In the Qiankun Creation Jade Plate, You Qianxue and Ji Ruyue cried out in anguish, tears streaming down their faces.
“Qin Chen!” Ji Wuxue also panicked, roaring, “Let us out, let us fight together!”
Qing Qiu Ziyi was also anxious, while Xiao Yi and Xiao Huo, along with the Fire Refining Insects and Devouring Ants, danced frantically, wishing to rush out and fight for Qin Chen.
However, Qin Chen didn’t give them any chance to escape.
At the same time, within the Ten Thousand Realms Demon Tree, two grand auras appeared, those of Tian Huo Venerable and Wan Ling Demon Venerable. At this moment, they both awakened, aware of everything happening outside.
“Young man, let us out to battle that monster. It is the king of the dark creatures; it must not be allowed to escape, or else countless lives will be lost.”
Although the two were merely remnants of souls, their fighting spirit was formidable, speaking with solemnity. They were experts from the ancient celestial realm and understood certain matters.
However, Qin Chen remained silent, only roaring. He did not release anyone because he knew that even if they were released, it would be futile. Even the clone of the Star God Palace Master had been crushed, and ordinary Venerables could not inflict any damage on the opponent; instead, they would be devoured, becoming nutrients for the enemy to grow stronger.
“Young man, please let us out! We have studied the dark power and the powers of the human and demon races for many years and know some things that can inflict damage on it,” said Tian Huo Venerable and Wan Ling Demon Venerable, their attitude resolute.
But Qin Chen shook his head because he understood that Tian Huo Venerable and Wan Ling Demon Venerable might be able to harm the opponent, but it would amount to sacrificing themselves.
If Tian Huo Venerable and Wan Ling Demon Venerable were at their peak, they might still be of some help, but right now, Qin Chen could sense the determination in their will. It was a resolution to abandon their lives.
Boom!
Qin Chen roared in fury, activating the Nine Star God Emperor Technique. Instantly, a terrifying totemic power emerged from his body, humming as countless divine patterns transformed into an overwhelming totemic force that pressed down.
“Totemic power, how is this possible…” The Sword Ancestor gasped, somewhat shocked, recognizing the power emanating from Qin Chen, speaking in a low voice.
Bang! This totemic power pressed down, madly suppressing the black tentacles. Crack! Crack! Crack! Numerous minute wounds appeared on the black tentacles, but like the thunderous power, the totemic power, although formidable, was too weak compared to Qin Chen’s cultivation level. While it injured the opponent, it failed to inflict any fatal damage.
Instead, it provoked the ferocity of the black tentacles even more. A more terrifying power of strangulation and devouring surged forth. Bang! Qin Chen's bones were directly crushed, blood pouring from him. The Ancient Holy Body was incredibly robust, but under the strangulation of this alien rule power, it was futile and was crushed directly, bloodied and in a pitiful state.
Qin Chen's appearance was tragic, as if he were about to be ground into meat paste.
“Kid, hand me your sword!” the stone statue corpse said harshly, staring at the mysterious rusty sword in Qin Chen's hand.
The mysterious rusty sword was stained with Qin Chen's blood, exuding ghostly light.
“Go!” Qin Chen shouted fiercely. At this moment, he could no longer care about anything else, urging the mysterious rusty sword, which instantly fell into the stone statue corpse's hand.
