The seemingly divine Blood Throne, now reduced to the mundane, suddenly erupted in a brilliant crimson flame just as Fang Chen was about to store it in his spatial ring.
Within the Blood Flame, the Blood Throne melted continuously, gradually transforming into a pool of scarlet liquid. Divine Patterns began to manifest, resembling fiery spirits dancing and flickering within the Blood Flame. An inexplicable aura emanated from it, causing Fang Chen to narrow his eyes.
Initially believing that after the Heritage, this seemingly ordinary Blood Throne had lost all significance, the current scene revealed to Fang Chen that everything was not as he had imagined.
In the Blood Flame, the mass of liquid formed from the melting Blood Throne was being refined, with Divine Patterns shimmering on its surface. The mysterious aura grew increasingly intense, and gradually, an unimaginable Fierce Killing Power erupted from within.
"Kill!"
A thunderous roar echoed through the void, shaking the entire cave violently for a moment, nearly causing it to collapse.
Fang Chen focused his gaze; the once-scarlet liquid now slowly writhed and ultimately transformed into a blood-colored figure. This figure resembled the White-Clad Middle-Aged Man, merely reduced to palm-sized proportions.
Suddenly, this palm-sized Blood Shadow opened its eyes, devoid of pupils, revealing two deep voids. Endless crimson light radiated from them, and the overwhelming Killing Intent that had erupted from the void was drawn into it in an instant. Then, the Blood Shadow closed its eyes again.
Looking at this seemingly lifeless Blood Shadow, which resembled an ordinary statue, Fang Chen's eyes sparkled. After experiencing previous mutations, he could no longer regard this seemingly unremarkable Blood Shadow as just a simple sculpture. The immense Killing Intent it had absorbed earlier was enough to instill fear.
However, what astonished Fang Chen was that despite his probing efforts, he found it difficult to discern any extraordinary qualities about this Blood Shadow. If not for witnessing its various mutations firsthand, this object in his hand seemed utterly ordinary.
Since he couldn't uncover anything for now, Fang Chen decided not to dwell on it and placed it directly into his spatial ring. He had a premonition that this item would undoubtedly possess unique significance in the future.
Boom!
At that moment, a deafening Thunderous Roar resounded from afar within the depths of the Blood-Red Mountain cave where Fang Chen was located. One could imagine how terrifyingly intense the thunder and lightning had gathered outside at that moment near the Black Mountain.
"Get out here!"
Accompanying that earth-shattering Thunderous Roar, a deep voice rolled through the heavens and earth. It then transformed into endless echoes that reverberated powerfully throughout the area!
"If Chen Boyun doesn't come out soon, the entire Black Mountain will probably be shattered by the Thunder Kirin," Fang Chen remarked with a hint of mockery. "It seems this guy is preparing to escape."
Black Mountain is a Heritage Site of a Dao Sovereign Realm Expert, naturally extraordinary and protected by power. However, it is merely at the Daoist Master Realm, and its master has long since fallen. Faced with a Thunder Kirin that is now very close to the Daoist Master Realm and exceptionally Frenzied, even with protective power, it cannot hold out for long. Once Black Mountain collapses, Chen Boyun will have no choice but to either confront the enraged and terrifying Thunder Kirin directly or flee.
Fang Chen did not believe that Chen Boyun had the confidence to confront, let alone face a furious Thunder Kirin that seemed eager to devour him.
"Escape? How can he escape?" Fang Chen's lips curled into a strange smile that intertwined coldness and wickedness. As he spoke softly to himself, he stepped forward and walked out towards Blood-Red Mountain.
...
"Get out!" "Get out!" "Get out!"...
Accompanied by the deafening roar of thunder, these shouts echoed through the heavens and earth, resonating with a rumbling sound that filled the surroundings.
Next to Blood-Red Mountain, in another area belonging to a Dao Sovereign Realm Expert's Heritage Site, above the completely black Black Mountain that emanated a chilling aura, a Thunder Kirin with purple lightning coursing through its body glared down with wide eyes, flickering with crimson light and radiating an overwhelming killing intent. Standing on Thunder Cloud, it looked down at Black Mountain below with intense hatred.
"Let's see how long you can hide in there."
A low growl like muffled thunder emanated from the Thunder Kirin. It lifted its foot and stomped in mid-air.
Boom!
Thick bolts of Frenzied lightning fell violently from above.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Even with protective power, under the onslaught of these Frenzied lightning strikes capable of heavily injuring Heavenly Realm experts, many parts of the mountain were directly shattered. Large boulders were sent flying into the air by immense force and then obliterated under the Frenzied lightning.
After a wave of thunderous explosions, nearly a quarter of Black Mountain was reduced to rubble. At this point, aside from the deepest part of Black Mountain, almost all other areas had been severely damaged and rendered unrecognizable by the relentless thunder and lightning. Moreover, looking down from above, the faint layer of protective power surrounding the black mountain had weakened to the point where it could be easily broken.
Everything indicates that the protective power here is about to be exhausted, and the Thunder Kirin is about to shatter the entire Black Mountain.
"Beast, do not be arrogant!"
A voice of anger suddenly emerged from within Black Mountain. The roar rose with thunderous intensity, momentarily drowning out the sound of thunder. However, within this reprimand, there was a clear hint of menace.
At that moment, the raging lightning in mid-air suddenly paused, then poured down even more violently into the depths of Black Mountain. The Thunder Kirin, standing proudly in the air, finally flashed a glimmer of light in its large eyes. It fixed its gaze on the direction from which the voice came, its killing intent intensifying.
"The Holy Sovereign's Heritage Site is not something you can act recklessly in! Do you think that breaking through the Power of Rules allows you to run rampant? Disturbing the Holy Sovereign will leave you without a place to die!"
Chen Boyun's voice echoed from within Black Mountain. His words were filled with reprimand, seemingly unafraid of the terrifying Thunder Kirin blocking his way; instead, there was a hint of threat in his tone.
"Has this guy lost his mind, thinking this will make the Thunder Kirin retreat?" Fang Chen, who had already stepped out from Blood-Red Mountain and was hiding nearby, couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.
Playing such tricks in front of a Thunder Kirin with intelligence equal to that of martial artists at the same level is undoubtedly ridiculous. Moreover, Chen Boyun still possessed the Qilin Egg, something that could make the Thunder Kirin fight desperately!
Indeed, just as Chen Boyun's words fell, the Thunder Kirin, standing on Thunder Cloud in mid-air, flashed a naked mockery in its eyes. After snorting loudly, it fell silent and once again controlled the lightning in mid-air, unleashing a relentless barrage towards Black Mountain.
"Beast. You..." Accompanied by the continuous rumbling of thunder, Chen Boyun's curses began to echo from within Black Mountain.
"I didn't expect the elder of Jincheng Sect to have such sharp tongue skills," Fang Chen remarked with a shake of his head and a smile as he listened to Chen Boyun's nearly uninterrupted stream of curses.
However, suddenly, within him, the Flower of the Great Path gently swayed at that moment, and an image abruptly appeared in his mind.
On the other side of Black Mountain, a hunched figure cautiously raised its head to glance at the direction above. A malicious glint flashed in its eyes.
"A beast is still just a beast; if you want to stop me, you're still too inexperienced." A hoarse voice filled with pride softly emerged from this figure's lips.
As he spoke, his figure moved, carefully slipping away in the opposite direction of the Thunder Kirin. A faint gray-black light flowed over his body, isolating all remnants of the thunder and lightning that had fallen from the sky.
"Chen Boyun!"
The scene in his mind suddenly dissipated, and Fang Chen's gaze shot towards that direction. His powerful Divine Consciousness Power swept towards that place once again. At the same time, Fang Chen concealed his aura and slowly approached the location where Chen Boyun was.
However, soon a look of surprise appeared on Fang Chen's face. Under the sweep of his Divine Consciousness, he did not detect Chen Boyun's presence.
"That gray-black light!" In an instant, Fang Chen realized where the problem lay.
The layer of gray-black light surrounding Chen Boyun not only possessed considerable defensive power against thunder and lightning but, more importantly, it could evade detection by Divine Consciousness!
This was a rare treasure!
In an instant, Fang Chen made his judgment. Understanding this, a bitter smile appeared on his lips. Right under the noses of him and the Thunder Kirin, Chen Boyun had almost managed to slip away.
Of course, it was only almost; ultimately, due to the effect of the Flower of the Great Path, Chen Boyun's escape was thwarted.
"What a pity." A cold smile crept onto Fang Chen's face as he quickened his pace towards the stealthily retreating Chen Boyun. He could almost envision the particularly exquisite expression on Chen Boyun's face when he saw him.
