The appearance of the Black and White Elders meant that the battle had come to an end.
Even though Xu Yan was unwilling, he did not dare to show it, because the people standing in front of him were the legendary Black and White Elders. If he made any strange movements, he would be discovered.
Once his identity was exposed, he would die without a burial place.
He could die, but at least his death had to be worth it. He looked coldly at Fang Chen, and a cold killing intent flashed in the depths of his eyes. He only had one thought now, and that was to kill Fang Chen.
Others might not know about the battle with Fang Chen, but Xu Yan knew very well that even without the help of the Demon Slayer Formation, Fang Chen's strength had already reached an unimaginable level. What worried Xu Yan the most was Fang Chen's incredible potential.
A Fifth Level Holy Emperor already had such combat strength. If he stepped into the Seventh Level Holy Emperor Realm, would he be able to defeat the Five Elements Holy Realm?
Thinking of this, Xu Yan felt a lingering fear. Fang Chen must die. The more he thought about it, the more he knew how to endure.
"Hmph."
He snorted coldly and did not say anything else.
At this moment, the entire square was in a state of shock. All the martial artists were tongue-tied. The words of the Black and White Elders were still echoing in their minds.
"What?"
After a long while, someone finally reacted and cried out.
"Fang Chen actually withstood ten moves from Xu Yan?"
"How is this possible?
Xu Yan, who is at the peak of the Eighth Level, actually could not suppress Fang Chen? "
"It's too terrifying. Junior Brother Fang's potential is really amazing."
Many people were shocked. They increasingly realized that Fang Chen's potential had already reached an unprecedented level. At the same time, they also understood why Palace Master Lei had personally come out to welcome Fang Chen.
Everyone's eyes fell on Fang Chen. Their gazes were filled with desire.
The Black and White Elders were full of praise for Fang Chen. Liu Yang, who was hosting the battle, also took the initiative to step forward and handed the Thunderbolt Wood to Fang Chen.
"Junior Brother Fang, this is your Thunderstruck Wood."
The ten pieces of Thunderstruck Wood gave off a terrifying electric light. Many of the cultivators looked at them with envy. Fang Chen nodded and received the Thunderstruck Wood. Immediately, he felt a strong energy.
"This Thunderbolt Wood is not bad for you at your current stage." The black-robed old man stroked his beard and said with a smile.
The white-robed old man nodded and explained the uses of the thunderstruck wood to Fang Chen. Everyone thought that the thunderstruck wood was only used for cultivation, but after listening to the white-robed old man's explanation, the disciples realized that the thunderstruck wood could also be used to refine weapons.
"The Thunderstruck Wood contains the strongest power of thunder in the world. Thunder is of the fire attribute. Absorbing the power of thunder in the Thunderstruck Wood will make it easier for an ancient martial art practitioner to comprehend the origin of fire," the white-robed elder said.
There was a limit to the power within the Thunder-struck Wood. Once it was completely absorbed, there would be no value in cultivating it anymore. However, it was originally a type of wood, a wondrous treasure of the world. Refining it into a weapon would greatly increase the origin energy of the weapon, and it might even be able to raise the level of origin weapons.
"Alright, let's end the competition here."
The black-robed old man said a few words to Fang Chen and then turned around to look at the ancient martial art practitioners.
"Now, the God Perishing Battlefield is in chaos. There are evil forces from the Primal Chaos Battlefield invading. Try not to go out. Stay in the Myriad Path World and cultivate hard."
Dark clouds covered the God Perishing Battlefield. Everyone realized that the end of the world was coming. Experts from various top forces gathered and headed to the Demon Sky Fire Region to suppress the Young Marquis and the others.
At this time, there was no doubt that the morale of the army needed to be stabilized. Hence, the Black and White Elders appeared.
Soon, the disciples dispersed. Fang Chen followed the Black and White Elders and left.
"Damn it."
Xu Yan clenched his fists and was extremely angry.
Bang!
He punched the wall and mud splashed. His face was hideous and his Demonic Qi was dispersing.
His heart was bleeding. Ten pieces of Thunderstruck Wood, that was all of his property. He had actually given it away to someone he had to kill.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! His communication token vibrated. His expression changed and he quickly disappeared. Not long after, he left the Myriad Path World and appeared on a barren mountain.
"Senior Brother Xu Yan."
They were Yang Xian and Yuan Lie from the Giant Fire Peak of the Heaven Defying Alliance. Both of them looked solemn.
"Did he fail?"
Yang Xian frowned. He didn't expect Xu Yan to fail to kill Fang Chen.
"If the Black and White Elders hadn't appeared, he would have died." Xu Yan said in a deep voice. "He's lucky this time. I'll kill him next time."
Yuan Lie stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Xu Yan, the God Perishing Battlefield isn't peaceful now. The mysterious expert who occupied the Demon Sky Fire Region might start a war. When the time comes, the people will be plunged into misery and suffering. So, we have to kill Fang Chen as soon as possible."
Xu Yan remained silent. Yang Xian flipped his palm and a palm-sized bronze mirror appeared in his palm. As soon as the bronze mirror appeared, it emitted a terrifying aura. There were complicated ripples flowing on the surface of the mirror.
"Hmm?"
Xu Yan was stunned when he saw the bronze mirror.
"Senior Brother Xu Yan, the Lord asked me to give this to you." Yang Xian said.
Xu Yan grabbed the bronze mirror and smiled. "With the Sun-Extinguishing Mirror in hand, he's dead."
"Senior Brother Xu Yan, we still have things to do. We'll go back first and wait for your good news."
After saying that, Yuan Lie and Yang Xian left. Xu Yan looked at the Sun-Extinguishing Mirror in his palm and sneered in his heart.
…
Myriad Dao World, Dao Palace.
On a mountain peak, Fang Chen followed the Black and White Elders to the thatched hut at the top of the mountain.
"You're Fang Chen?"
Black Elder asked.
Fang Chen nodded. Then, Black Elder continued, "Do you know why we brought you here?"
Fang Chen shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
The Black and White Elders looked at each other. "Old White, you tell him."
"Do you see this thatched hut?"
White Elder pointed at the thatched hut. Fang Chen looked up and sized it up seriously. Suddenly, he felt dizzy as if he had fallen into an illusion.
Phew!
His breathing became rapid. He shook his head violently to wake up.
"Just now …"
He was a little scared. He had just seen a shocking scene. On the tragic ground, there were countless corpses and rivers of blood. An evil force swept across the land as if it was going to devour heaven and earth. He saw the end of the world.
"Set up the Demon Slayer Array."
White Elder continued.
Fang Chen was a little confused, but he still followed White Elder's instructions and set up the Demon Slayer Array.
Buzz!
As soon as the Demon Slayer Array was set up, the thatched hut suddenly trembled. A terrifying force penetrated the thatched hut and rushed into the Demon Slayer Array. The two resonated with each other and burst out a bright force. For a moment, Fang Chen felt that his Primordial Spirit was about to be crushed.
"What a terrifying power."
Fang Chen exclaimed and retreated.
What was going on?
Why could the Demon Slayer Array resonate with the thatched hut? What was hidden in the thatched hut?
He tried to stabilize his body and turned to look at the Black and White Elders.
Dong dong dong!
