Divine Throne of Primordial Blood
Book 4: Near Blood - 175: Spatial Fissure KillThe blade began to glow as specks of starlight appeared on its surface.
This was the manifestation of Origin Energy that had been concentrated to its greatest extent. The twinkling fragments burst forth with astounding power, causing rays of starlight to shine blindingly.
The starlight gathered into a stream that flowed towards He Xu’s forehead. He Xu’s pupils dilated with extreme fear.
"Don’t!" Shi Mingfeng yelled.
He only had time to cry out before a head was sent flying through the air.
A single blade strike!
He had managed to behead He Xu with a single blade strike.
However, Shi Mingfeng wasn’t surprised at all, because that blade strike possessed power far beyond what an ordinary Yang Opening Realm cultivator should have been capable of unleashing. It had already reached the level of what a Light Shaking Realm cultivator could utilize.
It was quite normal for He Xu to not be able to withstand even a single blow from someone at the Light Shaking Realm.
If there was anything to be surprised about, it was how Su Chen had managed to unleash a blade strike like that.
But Shi Mingfeng wasn’t even that surprised, given that Su Chen was the one who was wielding the blade. He had already managed to perform countless miracles; performing yet another really wasn’t that miraculous, was it?
Shi Mingfeng watched as He Xu’s corpse toppled to the ground.
Before He Xu’s corpse had even hit the ground, Su Chen had already managed to snatch the ring from He Xu’s hand.
"ROAR!"
A thunderous howl echoed through the room.
It had come from the rhinoceros demon standing guard outside of the storehouse.
Even though He Xu hadn’t had time to make any noise, Su Chen’s blade strike had disturbed the air and generated Origin Energy fluctuations, which the Demonic Beast was able to detect.
The howl was like an alarm, rapidly spreading through the entire palace.
Su Chen nonchalantly walked over to Shi Mingfeng. He reached out his hand and said, "Yours."
Shi Mingfeng gulped as he handed over the Origin Ring in his hand to Su Chen. "I just wanted to see how you were going to deal with the situation. I never planned on betraying you," he explained.
In some sense, this explanation was equivalent to Shi Mingfeng bowing his head and asking for mercy.
A Light Shaking Realm cultivator was lowering his head to Su Chen.
"I know," Su Chen replied faintly.
Night Demon and the white paper doll also handed over their Origin Rings to Su Chen.
The footsteps of a massive beast could be heard thundering outside the hallway.
It was that rhinoceros demon.
Su Chen didn’t waste any time. He headed right for the inner storehouse.
The Sky-Rending Feather’s energy had almost been completely exhausted. The edges of the spatial fissure hanging in midair had begun to tremble, indicating its growing instability.
Su Chen stepped forwards and walked through the spatial vortex.
Next, the white paper doll and Night Demon stepped through.
Just as Shi Mingfeng was about to emerge from the void fissure as well, he suddenly saw Su Chen standing across from him, pointing at something below with his blade.
He was pointing at that Origin Formation Disk.
Shi Mingfeng stopped in his tracks.
He stared at Su Chen.
Su Chen said, "Do you know what will happen during spatial transport if the object anchoring the spatial node is suddenly destroyed?"
Shi Mingfeng opened his eyes wide in fear.
Su Chen said, "I don’t know, but I want to find out. And not only do I want to find out what would happen, but I also want to find out what would happen to any lifeforms still caught within the fissure in that moment."
Sweat beaded on Shi Mingfeng’s forehead.
He began to regret grabbing Night Demon. He should have controlled the exit instead!
How had he forgotten this?
The chance to strike it rich had blackened his heart, blurred his vision, and confused his mind.
He remained silent as he stared intently at Su Chen.
The lumbering footsteps outside grew louder and louder, accompanied by the sounds of Origin Formations being activated. Those were the restrictions that had been installed in the hallways; the massive rhinoceros was totally ignoring those formations to get to the treasury.
Next, a massive boom sounded out. The rhinoceros had slammed its forehead into the main door.
Thankfully, this door was not a common door. It had been constructed of precious metals and was reinforced by all kinds of Origin Formations.
But even a powerful door like this creaked and groaned under the burden of the rhinoceros’s charge. Eventually, the door began to crack.
It seemed like the door was going to crack at any moment.
Shi Mingfeng was beginning to panic. There was no way he was strong enough to handle that kind of power.
He stared at Su Chen. "Su Chen...... I......"
“Do you know what it feels like to be betrayed now?” Su Chen asked.
Shi Mingfeng nodded seriously.
“Then remember the feelings that this moment has brought you. Never, ever make that kind of mistake again,” Su Chen said calmly.
His tone was measured. By the time he finished speaking, the door to the treasury had already broken down. The frighteningly powerful rhinoceros charged in, howling madly. Powerful waves of Origin Energy emanated from its body, rolling over Shi Mingfeng like a wave.
Just as that blast of energy was about to swallow Shi Mingfeng up, Su Chen put his blade aside and stepped off to the side. “Come out.”
Shi Mingfeng leapt in as quickly as he could. He jumped through the fissure and reappeared in the small forest.
He turned around quickly and found that Su Chen was still standing near the
“Hurry, close the spatial fissure!” Shi Mingfeng yelled.
If that rhinoceros was able to make it through, everyone would be finished.
Su Chen calmly stared through the void.
The rhinoceros howled and charged into the void fissure. The moment that it rushed in, Su Chen stabbed the Origin Formation Disk with his blade.
Bang!
The Origin Formation Disk fragmented, and the spatial vortex began to rapidly disappear.
The rhinoceros had just charged head-first into the spatial vortex and was still inside.
At that moment, everyone watched as violent spatial energy began to slice through the area like small blades. The
countless Origin Formations lining the hallway could do nothing to this frightening rhinoceros, but in turn there was nothing it could do when faced with these spatial razors. Its body was immediately sliced into tens of thousands of pieces. Only its massive horned head was able to make it through the vortex and landed in front of Su Chen.
“ROAR!”
The rhinoceros was still howling even though only its head remained. An illusory image of a rhinoceros appeared, and under the control of this illusory image, the blood that had flown everywhere suddenly turned back around and shot towards Su Chen like fragments of iron.
Now that the beast’s cultivation base had reached the level of a Demonic Lord, it wasn’t so easy for it to die. Even if all that remained was its head, it was still able to regenerate its body over time. Their consciousnesses were powerful enough to allow them to use their consciousness to control things with physical substance. As long as their consciousness wasn’t eradicated, they could continue to live on indefinitely.
Of course, that was still a bit of an exaggeration; both Spirit Burning Realm cultivators and Demonic Lords were all restricted by their consciousness. Even if they could regenerate themselves, it would come at the cost of a large amount of consciousness energy.
If the rhinoceros focused its entire consciousness energy on regenerating its physical body, it would be able to do so, but only once. However, it chose not to do so; instead, it used all of its consciousness energy to try and attack Su Chen.
No matter what, it needed to kill this bastard who had stolen His Majesty’s treasure.
The rhinoceros was extremely loyal, which was why it had been chosen to guard the storehouse.
Unfortunately, this threat was completely ineffective against Su Chen.
“Trying to use your consciousness energy to attack me? I’m stronger than you in that regard,” Su Chen said calmly.
A powerful wave of consciousness energy exploded forth. The rhinoceros felt like it had encountered a king-level opponent.
“NO!”
It howled fiercely, mustering all its strength to try and resist.
However, the rhinoceros’s consciousness was weaker than Su Chen’s in the first place, and the fact that it had no physical body anymore meant that it had no way of recovering its consciousness energy.
When faced with Su Chen’s all-out attack, the rhinoceros wailed as its consciousness turned into ash and dissipated with the wind.
A Demonic Lord had been finished off cleanly just like that. All that remained was the lord-class Origin Crystal, which landed in Su Chen’s hand.
The crystal was extremely hard to obtain, but in comparison to what was in the Demonic Emperor’s treasury, that crystal was far too ordinary.
Looting was always more profitable than working for it.
