Chapter 1565 - 1255: Today I shall refine you all

When the Dark Power passed through Lu Chen's body, he immediately felt a sense of familiarity with it, and soon he remembered.

Wasn't this the same Dark Power used by the woman he encountered in the Chaotic Sea, who had lost her mind?

As Lu Chen thought about whether that woman still retained her sanity, a large Immortal Ship was slowly approaching from afar.

The deck of the ship was covered by a purple curtain, but through the sheer purple curtain, it could still be seen that a woman was seated on the deck, elegantly playing the Ancient Zither, seemingly without any sense of urgency.

It was indeed her!

Just as Lu Chen was about to speak, the system interface suddenly popped up.

[Name: Xuan Qingyun]

[Identity: Heavenly Girl of the Nine Heavens Institute, Heavenly Mystery Maiden in the Inner Universe of the Chaos Beast, former Immortal Emperor of the Tianyan Immortal Domain, who lost her mind after accidentally entering the Chaotic Sea and was eroded by Chaotic Power, later swallowed by the Chaos Beast. She intends to stimulate the Chaos Beast through the Heavenly Demon to trigger an Era Tribulation, then kill the Chaos Beast to seize its Beast Core.]

[Favorability: 30]

Seeing Xuan Qingyun's personal introduction, Lu Chen was slightly stunned.

So it was her!

But there was one thing he couldn't figure out: if the Heavenly Demon was created by Xuan Qingyun, what exactly were these Heavenly Demons supposed to achieve?

Every time the Heavenly Demons appeared, they slaughtered the cultivators inside the Chaos Beast's stomach, but apart from that, they didn't seem to inflict any damage on the Chaos Beast.

To the Chaos Beast, both the cultivators and the Heavenly Demons were merely like worms inside its stomach, weren't they?

So neither the cultivators nor the Heavenly Demons should have any impact on the Chaos Beast, then what was the purpose of Xuan Qingyun's actions?

While Lu Chen was puzzled, Xuan Qingyun's voice came from afar, "Lu Chen, long time no see!"

"I thought you had long been refined by the Chaos Beast, never expected you, a mere Immortal King, to persist for so long."

Hearing this voice, Lu Chen chuckled and then said, "I also thought you had long fallen, never expected you to still be alive. Not only alive, but you've also become a right-hand aide to the Chaos Beast."

Xuan Tian was the consciousness of the Chaos Beast, and Xuan Tian created the Tianji Pavilion. Xuan Qingyun, being the Heavenly Girl of Tianji Pavilion, was essentially on Xuan Tian's side.

Xuan Qingyun said calmly, "I am merely waiting for an opportunity."

"And look, the opportunity has arrived."

Lu Chen said, "I'm really curious, why did you create so many Heavenly Demons? I don't seem to see anything special about them?"

Xuan Qingyun said, "The Chaos Beast cannot fully control its body, the Heavenly Demons are just a means to force it to descend an Era Tribulation."

"Whenever the number of Heavenly Demons reaches a certain level, whether or not the Chaos Beast is willing, its body will trigger a tribulation."

"And when the number of Heavenly Demons swells to a certain extent, if an Era Tribulation is not triggered within the Chaos Beast, it can only watch as its body is gradually consumed by the Heavenly Demons."

"And if the Era Tribulation within the Chaos Beast is too fierce, the Chaos Beast itself cannot withstand the damage the tribulation inflicts on its body."

Lu Chen immediately understood what Xuan Qingyun meant.

It's just like a human body, where the Heavenly Demons are akin to cancer cells created by Xuan Qingyun, which continually attack the normal cells within Xuan Tian's body, that is, the cultivators, and constantly grow stronger.

At this time, to eliminate the Heavenly Demons, the Chaos Beast can only invoke an Era Tribulation, which also kills the cultivators within its Inner Universe.

Of course, this is only one aspect. The most important thing is that if the number and strength of the Heavenly Demons are too great, the Chaos Beast will definitely increase the intensity of the Era Tribulation to eliminate them. When the tribulation's intensity reaches a certain level, even the Chaos Beast cannot control it.

It's like a person unable to control a high fever without medication, or the secretion of stomach acid eroding the stomach walls.

Perhaps the Chaos Beast already has some difficulty controlling that green liquid emitting white vapor now.

Of course, all of this is just speculation, after all, this isn't Earth; what if the Chaos Beast can control its body?

Lu Chen then posed the question, "How do you know the Chaos Beast cannot resist the damage from the Era Tribulation?"

Xuan Qingyun didn't answer, but instead spoke towards the void, "Why don't you let the consciousness it manifested come out and speak for itself."

As soon as Xuan Qingyun finished speaking, a deep voice echoed in the void, "Xuan Qingyun, I didn't expect you to be in league with him, truly disappointing to me!"

With the emergence of this voice, a pair of giant scarlet eyes soon appeared in the void, with Xuan Tian's figure beneath those scarlet eyes.

After Xuan Tian appeared, he sneered at Xuan Qingyun and said, "So what if you've discovered the secret within this body of mine! My Soul-devouring Power will soon eradicate all of you!"

"After turning all of you into my nourishment, I will then slowly repair the injuries caused by the Era Tribulation."

Hearing Xuan Tian's words, Lu Chen was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Xuan Qingyun's speculation to be true, that the Era Tribulation unleashed by Xuan Tian would actually harm himself.

After Xuan Tian spoke, Xuan Qingyun continued, "Xuan Tian, the backlash of the Soul-devouring Power is making you uncomfortable too, isn't it!"

Then Xuan Qingyun turned to Lu Chen and said, "Lu Chen, the Chaos Beast is now extremely weak, since your memory has restored and some of your strength has returned, I believe you can slay it this time."

Upon hearing Xuan Qingyun's words, Lu Chen was momentarily stunned, then sneered, "You want me to make a move while you watch from the sidelines?"

Xuan Qingyun said, "The strength I have left is quite limited, and I need to conserve it to avoid being eroded by Chaotic Power once I leave the Chaos Beast's body, unless you want to fight a mindless me for another ten thousand years?"

Hearing Xuan Qingyun's words, Lu Chen was left speechless. To be honest, he had already guessed what Xuan Qingyun intended to do at this point.

She simply wanted to take advantage once I kill the Chaos Beast, so she can seize the opportunity to obtain the Beast Core.

But then again, what use does the Chaos Beast's Beast Core have?

As Lu Chen pondered this question, Xuan Tian snorted coldly, "Today I will annihilate and refine you all!"

As he spoke, Xuan Tian waved his large hand, and the distant green Soul-devouring Power surged towards Xuan Tian like a tide. Subsequently, the Soul-devouring Power gathered around Xuan Tian to form several massive green dragons.

Then, with another wave of Xuan Tian's hand, those dragons formed by Soul-devouring Power charged directly at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen no longer dwelled on Xuan Qingyun's matters. He immediately drew the Shattering God Sword and directly invoked the Origin Power, striking with one sword.

Blood Soul Slash!!!
