Chapter 4040: Massive Slaughter 🔪

Published: January 6, 2025

The Ghost Insect Earth Venerable, a peak Earth Venerable expert who had almost touched the heaven venerable realm, was slain by Qin Chen, his entire being devoured in an instant.

Such a scene sent chills down the spine of every onlooker, a deep-seated fear rising from within.

How could this kid from the True Dragon Tribe be so terrifying?

Some who had encountered Qin Chen at the Dragon Soul Lake felt their hearts race; they clearly remembered that when they first met Qin Chen, he was just a human venerable level expert. But now?

So many peak Earth Venerables had not surrounded him, but rather, he had recklessly cut down the Ghost Insect Earth Venerable right in front of them.

It was as if he had slapped the faces of the top experts from the Abyss Soul Earth Venerable and others of the myriad tribes.

"Hmph, I told you long ago not to engage with this kid, didn't you all see for yourselves?"

The Golden Crow Prince scoffed at the Monster Race experts beside him, causing the two Golden Crow Clan experts next to him to break out in cold sweat, unable to utter a single word.

In the void, the soul of the Ghost Insect Earth Venerable, along with his entire body, armor, toxic rules, and all his treasures, was swallowed by Qin Chen, directly entering the Heaven and Earth Creation Jade Plate.

At Qin Chen's current level, it was certainly unwise to easily refine the power of an expert like the Ghost Insect Earth Venerable into his body. After all, this was a being who had touched the threshold of the heaven venerable realm. Sometimes, absorbing too many mixed powers could lead to complications; although it could enhance one's cultivation, it might affect one's primordial origin.

Given Qin Chen's current strength, if he wished to break through to Earth Venerable, it was better to absorb true primordial power rather than to directly refine the Ghost Insect Earth Venerable.

"This is bad; the Ghost Insect Earth Venerable is dead, and he was actually devoured alive! A madman, he is truly a madman."

Seeing Qin Chen kill the Ghost Insect Earth Venerable and directly consume everything about him left the Giant Eye Earth Venerable and the others dumbfounded.

They were shocked not just by Qin Chen's ability to kill the Ghost Insect Earth Venerable, but that he had completely swallowed him whole.

What was happening?

Was this person really a powerful figure of the True Dragon Tribe?

If it weren’t for the undeniable dragon might aura radiating from Qin Chen, they might have thought he belonged to the Spirit Devouring Tribe since only members of the Spirit Devouring Tribe could enhance themselves through directly devouring others, right?

Otherwise, even a master of the Abyss Demon Tribe, who could refine others, wouldn't be able to swallow someone like the Ghost Insect Earth Venerable in one bite.

"Kill him; we must kill him!"

The Abyss Soul Earth Venerable roared, striding forward with the force of a dragon and tiger. With the death of the Ghost Insect Earth Venerable, he knew trouble was now imminent.

"Endless ages, the divine cosmos endures, invincible demon heaven, only I reign supreme!"

Boom! The Abyss Soul Earth Venerable finally unleashed his true power. His entire body ignited with demonic energy, resonating with heaven and earth. The laws trembled as intense ripples rippled outwards. A rolling demonic might enveloped him, and he was covered with a layer of pitch-black demonic armor, unleashing a terrifying strike forged from his essence, spirit, and energy.

This was the explosion of the Abyss Soul Earth Venerable, his eyes dark as if he were a demon god himself. The rolling demonic aura erupted from his body, and more terrifyingly, within his venerable aura, a terrible power that seemed capable of suppressing the world began to seep out, as if he were above all present.

It was the aura of a heaven venerable.

The Abyss Soul Earth Venerable had reaped considerable gains here; although he had not directly crossed into the heaven venerable realm, he had already touched a thread of its power and was now trying to utilize the power of the heaven venerable.
