It was the divine soul of that colossal beast. At this moment, it actually was forcefully wrested out by someone.
This was simply unbelievable.
In the eyes of the countless disciples of the Heavenly Path Sect, this was almost the work of an immortal. As far as they knew, their ancestor did not possess such a method. One had to understand, their ancestor was a Nirvana Realm expert! With a stomp of his foot, the entire Heavenly Path Sect would tremble. If even their ancestor could not accomplish this, then the owner of that palm must be an almighty at the Quasi-Saint Realm…
“Roar!”
The divine soul of the giant beast was held in an enormous palm and let out an earth-shattering roar. It struggled violently but to no avail. That palm seemed condensed from the laws of the Heavenly Dao and was immovable.
“Experts of the Shadowless Hall, do you want to start a war with our Long family?” the divine soul of the behemoth roared, its voice enough to shake the world. Even though only its divine soul remained, it emanated a supreme power that made countless people feel their eardrums bulge as if on the verge of explosion.
“The Long family again?” In the silence, an aloof voice resonated throughout the hall, stunning the masses. It was as if this voice’s owner could dominate the will of all living beings, involuntarily evoking a sense of deference.
“Since you know of my Long family’s reputation, release me at once,” the giant beast’s divine soul roared once more. “Otherwise, even the Shadowless Hall will be unable to withstand the wrath of our Long family.”
“Haha…” Su Chen laughed derisively and shook his head. “Long family? How impressive! Just now, while you hid in the void spying on me, did you ever ponder whether your Long family could withstand my fury? But anyway, I’ve already killed someone from the Long family – 1 don’t really lack one like you.”
“Hmm?” Hearing Su Chen’s words, the beast’s divine soul froze on the spot. He knew his young master had once dispatched a human to the East Barrens. However, he did not expect that human expert would perish there shortly after arrival.
Originally, when his young master heard of experts from the East Barrens crossing over, he had sent him to covertly gather intelligence. But never did he anticipate that upon reaching the Heavenly Path Sect, he would be severely injured before uncovering anything.
Until now, what was even more dramatic was that the existence who had killed that servant was right before him. This person was no ordinary disciple of the Heavenly Path Sect who had seen little of the world. After all, he had been sealing since ancient times and had seen countless experts. If he did not misjudge, this one’s strength likely surpassed that of a saint!
After all, his own cultivation had reached the peak stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm. His appraisal of a Saint Realm expert’s strength remained sharp. No matter how formidable, a Saint Realm expert could not achieve such a terrifying level.
“You came for the Chaotic Sea Star Region?” The beast gradually calmed, gazing at Su Chen and speaking lowly. In his view, the declining Southern Region was unworthy of a Great Saint Realm powerhouse, let alone a Saint King Realm master personally descending. The only place possibly attracting the other was the fabled Chaotic Sea Star Region.
“It seems you know what I wish to learn!” Su Chen eyed the giant beast and murmured. He sat in the hall and sent forth a thought. In but an instant, his spiritual sense entered the Long family expert’s mind, flipping through his memories.
Fifteen minutes passed. Su Chen flicked his finger lightly and a peak-stage Quasi-Saint Realm expert vanished into thin air, as if he had never existed in this world.
“So this is where the Chaotic Sea Star Region shall emerge!” Su Chen muttered to himself. As the local tyrant of the Southern Region, the Long family knew a fair bit of information, already roughly deducing the direction of the yet-to-appear Chaotic Sea Star Region.
During this period, it was not solely the Long family. Many other prominent factions had likewise dispatched experts to traverse hundreds of millions of miles.
“This…” While Su Chen organized the memories of the Long family’s expert, the others in the hall remained dazed. Their eyes were vacant, endless waves of shock rising in their hearts.
That earlier terrifying existence was at minimum at the Quasi-Saint Realm! Such an expert would be deemed invincible in any Southern Region faction. Yet now… With but a glance, this youth had severely injured a Quasi-Saint Realm expert. Such strength exceeded everyone’s expectations.
They had guessed Su Chen was quite formidable, but never anticipated he would be this domineering. No wonder he could utilize the Shadowless Hall’s teleportation formation to come from the East Barrens despite not being a member of the Shadowless Hall. With this senior’s participation, the Chaotic Sea Star Region’s inheritance would likely turn murky in an instant.
Initially, even knowing of the World-Transcending Sword Hall’s inheritance emerging in the Chaotic Sea Star Region, they did not dare touch it. For powerful existences, obtaining the inheritance could be considered an additional advantage. However, for a force like the Heavenly Path Sect, acquiring the World-Transcending Sword Hall’s inheritance might not necessarily be a good thing.
Because for so many years, the World-Transcending Sword Hall had not reappeared for an entire era. This implied only its inheritance remained. Bereft of the previous generation’s World-Transcending Sword Master’s protection, this inheritance was a dangerous liability.
Even with many forces as its vassals, none could guarantee those powers did not harbor ulterior motives after so long. What if they now coveted the inheritance? Whoever dared seize it before their eyes would instantly become sworn enemies. Before even refining the inheritance, their own sect would likely be reduced to ashes.
“I’ve been here half a day. Thank you for your hospitality.” Just as everyone was lost in thought, the clear and melodious voice of Su Chen transmitted over. In an instant, it brought everyone present back to reality.
“Senior is leaving?” Xu Zheng asked, somewhat moved. Since realizing Su Chen’s strength, he had wanted to build rapport. After all, in the declining Southern Region, the human race was feeble! Encountering a human powerhouse was a rare opportunity – there was no reason not to cling to his coattails.
As for the Shadowless Hall…they no longer harbored hope. After all, even Su Chen could come, yet none had arrived from the Shadowless Hall. Clearly, they did not value them..
