Chapter 718: Death Qi?

Chapter 718: Chapter 718: Death Qi?

However, at this moment, Xuan Hong did not have utter confidence.

He wished to kill Xuan Jian, even more so to remain unharmed himself, and after seizing Chu Zhongtian’s opportunity, he intended to search for the passage to the Spirit World.

But without the Shadowless Giant Sword in hand, he lacked that firm assurance in his heart, and naturally, he was willing to feign peace with Xuan Jian.

This aligned perfectly with what Xuan Jian had in mind, as both harbored their own schemes.

Meanwhile, at the bottom of the mine, the Xuanming Ice Snake was starting to struggle to hold on.

The Shadowless Giant Sword pierced directly into the snake’s belly.

Although this severed the connection between the Shadowless Giant Sword and Xuan Hong, the price paid was the life of the Xuanming Ice Snake!

"From here on... it all depends on your fortune, Chu Zhongtian..."

In the midst of agony, the Xuanming Ice Snake passed out, and the Shadowless Giant Sword, having lost its connection with Xuan Hong, came to a standstill.

The sword tip stopped right before the demon pill of the Xuanming Ice Snake.

The mine once again returned to silence.

Time passed, moment by moment.

A trace of Spiritual Power suddenly emerged from the depths of the mine and finally settled upon the body of the Xuanming Ice Snake.

"Eh? Why is there the aura of a sword inside Little White’s body?"

A soft voice of surprise arose out of nowhere.

It seemed as if it came from beneath the mine.

And it seemed as if it resounded within the body of the Xuanming Ice Snake.

"And Chu Zhongtian?"

The voice of doubt rose again.

Immediately after, a massive surge of Spiritual Power spread out all around.

The next moment.

The mine, silent as the grave, once again began to shudder.

It was Lu Chen!

He had finally transformed the essence of the Spirit Vein’s power into an eyeball and drawn it onto his Nascent Soul!

Nascent Soul...

Complete!

"Chu Zhongtian had the Ice Spirit Pearl in his mouth; it was Little White who saved him! And Little White..."

A somewhat mournful voice arose; Lu Chen had no idea what had happened.

All he knew was that the mine had been destroyed because of him, which perhaps was one of the reasons why the others were implicated!

But he had just achieved his Nascent Soul and still needed to adapt to his body.

That previous Spiritual Sense was his first probe.

Logically, breaking through a realm should manifest some phenomena to a greater or lesser extent.

But Lu Chen’s Nascent Soul was different!

The most obvious sign of a breakthrough was the expansion of one’s Dantian by the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth.

But Lu Chen had taken two steps instead.

One was to absorb all the Spirit Stones within the Spirit Vein into the pupil of the dead eye.

The second step was to feed back the Spiritual Power from within the pupil, condensing it into a Nascent Soul, and finally using the essence of power to bring it to life!

As for phenomena, there actually were some.

It was namely his previously absorbing the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Vein, causing the collapse of the Spirit Vein mine, that was the main cause!

They just hadn’t seen it, that’s all.

Xuan Hong was unaware of Lu Chen’s existence, or rather, he completely overlooked Lu Chen. If several Core Formation stewards had already perished, what of Lu Chen, whose soul was damaged and lay unconscious?

As for Xuan Jian, he had no clue about Lu Chen’s whereabouts and had no idea that everything here was actually caused by Lu Chen!

It was as if...

It was the same as within the Haotian Secret Realm!

However, when Lu Chen woke up and saw the condition of Chu Zhongtian and the Xuanming Ice Snake at that moment, he did not investigate the outside world but focused entirely on protecting both the man and the snake!

"They are both steeped in heavy death energy; to save them, I must draw that death energy out!"

Lu Chen hadn’t learned any new Cultivation Techniques just because he had reached the Nascent Soul stage.

However, the pupil of the dead eye seemed to have become his innate Spell for saving lives!

He closed his eyes, and so did the Nascent Soul inside his body.

But shortly thereafter, the Nascent Soul opened its right eye!

The left eye was formed from the essence of the Spirit Vein’s power.

The right eye, however, was the pupil of the dead eye!

Under Lu Chen’s control, the right eye on the Nascent Soul actually emitted a beam of black light!

The black light, passing through the nine meridians, eventually converged into Lu Chen’s own eyes!

The next moment, Lu Chen was like a deity awakening from a slumber, his eyes gleaming with a strange black Spiritual Power.

One beam was directed toward the Xuanming Ice Snake above, and the other was cast toward Chu Zhongtian, not far away!

"And the Ice Spirit Pearl!"

Lu Chen muttered softly, and another wave of Spiritual Power surged from his palm, striking Chu Zhongtian!

Crack!

The frozen Chu Zhongtian, encased in ice by the Ice Spirit Pearl, suddenly shattered, and the Ice Spirit Pearl flew out of his mouth, returning to the palm of Lu Chen’s hand!

At the same time.

Those two black streams also struck Chu Zhongtian and the Xuanming Ice Snake respectively.

"Death energy?"

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression tinged with a hint of disdain!
