Boom! Boom!
Boom! The statue of the Scorpion God, which had been lifeless, suddenly released a violent pressure. The pressure was filled with a supreme power that made the entire world submit to it. The pressure pressed down on Xiao Chen like a mountain, trying to crush him into pieces.
The black-robed old man sacrificed his body to the Scorpion God, awakening the spiritual consciousness of the Scorpion God hidden in the depths of the statue.
At this moment, Xiao Chen seemed to be unaware of the danger in front of him. His eyes were filled with confusion, as if he had long been lost in the fog, unable to extricate himself.
The blood-red energy appeared out of nowhere with a scorching light, as if it was going to melt the entire void. Seeing that Xiao Chen was still standing there without any intention of awakening, the statue, which had already recovered a trace of consciousness, even revealed a cold smile on its ferocious face.
The blood-red energy instantly pierced through the void. Once hit, his entire body would be turned into ashes, and he would die.
"Hmph!
I'd like to see where this lonely ghost came from. How dare he pretend to be a deity here! "
Right at this moment!
Xiao Chen, who was originally immersed in the illusion, suddenly woke up. With a loud shout, green Battle Qi covered his entire body, and spear radiance shot out in all directions. The sharp Battle Qi instantly pierced through the sky, piercing into the blood-red energy.
Rumble!
The blood-red energy suddenly exploded, and the deafening sound caused the entire stone chamber to shake. At the center, a terrifying energy vortex formed, emitting violent destructive power that swept out in all directions. Facing such a situation, Xiao Chen had to take dozens of steps back.
Howl!
Seeing that Xiao Chen had easily destroyed the energy ball, the Scorpion God statue in the blood pool let out a stern roar. Its eyes flickered with a sinister scarlet light, exuding a sinister coldness.
The thick and powerful pincers shone with a red light, and the earth-shattering blood-red energy converged on the top of his head like a tide, turning into a blazing blood-red flame, emitting traces of an evil and gloomy aura, constantly surging in the air, like a volcano that was about to erupt. The accumulated energy rolled and surged, causing the surrounding fog to collapse on the spot, annihilating inch by inch, turning into nothingness.
The red flame burned wildly, as if it wanted to turn this human who had slaughtered its people into ashes.
"I was careless!
I didn't expect that I would lose my mind because of the smoke. Fortunately, the Seal of Mountains and Rivers saved me at the critical moment and absorbed the blood-colored energy. "Xiao Chen, who had come to his senses, was sweating profusely.
Seeing that the blood-red light was about to strike again, Xiao Chen's green eyes shot out two beams of sharp green light. He wanted to examine the statue that had developed intelligence.
On the other hand, the Dark Blood Spear in his hand danced in the air, mixed with the sharp aura of refined steel, and attacked the statue.
At this moment, a palm-sized bronze seal appeared out of thin air. Without leaving any trace, it flashed through the void and smashed toward the statue of the Scorpion God.
The berserk energy gathered on the crimson pincers seemed to have met its natural predator. With a hissing sound, it disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, completely absorbed by the Bronze Seal as if it had never appeared in the first place.
Crack!
After absorbing a huge amount of energy, the copper seal didn't stop there. It smashed a huge hole into the statue's hideous face and disappeared without a trace.
"Damn it!
What the hell is this? No matter who you are, I'll dig your heart out and turn you into a dish to go with wine. "
An illusory figure rose from the statue. It carried a boundless evil aura, causing a sinister wind to blow in the entire stone room. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it roared at Xiao Chen. It had a flustered and exasperated look on its face. Its originally overweening aura had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a sinister and evil expression on its face.
"Ah!
Human, no matter where you are on the continent, I will skin you and pull out your tendons, forever … "
Before the ghostly wails and wolf-like howls could finish, it was as if someone had grabbed its throat. The voice abruptly stopped, and the originally very illusory Demon Shadow, under the attack of the Seal of Mountains and Rivers, became more and more transparent. In a short while, it disappeared into the void, leaving not a single ripple.
The statue, which was originally glowing with a blood-red light, turned greyish-white at a speed visible to the naked eye. When the last trace of blood was drawn out, the statue exploded with a bang, shattering into several pieces that fell into the blood pool, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
The Seal of Mountains and Rivers, which had destroyed the Scorpion God's divine sense, strangely stayed in the void. It was shining with a green light, and the originally green copper rust showed signs of falling off at this moment.
The void a few feet away from it collapsed and annihilated, revealing a pitch-black hole with a devouring light. At a glance, it seemed like it was going to suck in people's gazes.
"Clan Leader Xiao …"
This was a call from outside. Before Xiao Chen could react, the Seal of Mountains and Rivers instantly turned into a flowing light and returned to his right arm. The originally shattered space also instantly became as good as before, as if nothing had happened.
A moment later, a strong man walked in from outside. It was the previous Wanderer, Shan Kun. At this moment, he was already covered in blood, like an Asura.
"Impossible, how is this possible? How could you shatter this Scorpion God statue?"
Seeing the Scorpion God statue break into pieces, the strong man looked like he had seen a ghost, and he repeatedly exclaimed that it was impossible.
Seeing Shan Kun's expression, Xiao Chen was also puzzled. He was surprised by the strong man's madness, and he asked, "Warrior Shan, is there something wrong?"
"No, it's not right. Clan Leader Xiao can actually shatter this statue. This is unbelievable."
Seeing Xiao Chen's puzzled expression, the strong man did not keep him in suspense and slowly explained to Xiao Chen.
"Legend has it that this Scorpion God statue was brought out from the ancestral land of the Scorpion Men. A trace of the Scorpion God's soul is sleeping in it. It is said that in times of danger, as long as the Scorpion Men offer their own flesh and blood as a sacrifice, it can be awakened.
"You have to know that the Scorpion God is a supreme existence that has surpassed the King realm. Even a trace of his spiritual sense is enough to kill a Blood Refining cultivator thousands of times over."
Just as Shan Kun was explaining everything to Xiao Chen, the crowd outside had already arrived. When they saw the scene in the stone house, they surrounded the two of them. Their gazes were filled with fervor as they looked at Xiao Chen.
"That's right, Warrior Shan is correct. Dozens of years ago, two Blood Refinement experts from middle rank tribes charged into this place. They wanted to uproot the entire scorpionmen tribe, but in the end, the scorpionmen summoned a sliver of the scorpionman god's slumbering soul and instantly sucked the two Blood Refinement experts dry."
"Truly a young hero. Clan Leader Xiao is so young, but his battle prowess is unparalleled. He can be said to be the strongest within ten thousand kilometers."
"Old Wang, you underestimate clan leader Xiao too much. Since he was able to kill the Scorpion God's spiritual sense, I think clan leader Xiao will definitely be able to obtain a place on the Desolate Border Region's Heaven's Pride Ranking."
"That's right. It has been a thousand years since someone from the Heaven's Pride Ranking has appeared within ten thousand kilometers of our Giant Stone Valley. Clan leader Xiao will be the first in a thousand years."
Seeing that Xiao Chen had completely destroyed the last trump card of the Scorpion God Tribe, everyone understood that even if there were still some survivors, they wouldn't be able to cause any big waves. The calamity of the Scorpion God Tribe that had plagued the Giant Stone Valley for hundreds of years had finally come to an end because of a young man. It was truly unpredictable.
From now on, the countless humans in the Giant Stone Valley would no longer be attacked by the Scorpion God Tribe. Not only that, the remaining survivors would be surrounded by the other tribes and completely exterminated.
"Everyone, now that the Scorpion God Tribe has been annihilated, you can all return to your tribes. I still have important matters to attend to, so I can't rush back to the tribe in time. Please escort those children to my Gu Yuan Tribe and hand them over to the Great Elder, Tie Shi. I will definitely reward you. Of course, if you have no home to return to, I, Gu Yuan Tribe, welcome you all to join us."
After some noise, Xiao Chen said to everyone. Of course, Xiao Chen wouldn't allow the hundreds of children to join his tribe to increase the Gu Yuan Tribe's foundation. The others didn't have any dissatisfaction. After all, their lives were saved by Xiao Chen.
As for the spoils of war, everyone just picked up some weapons and items that they could use and could only reluctantly give up the rest. After all, they didn't have any storage treasures. Escaping with their lives was already a great blessing. Facing the collection of the Scorpion God Tribe for hundreds of years, they could only lament their inadequacy.
After a while, everyone made a decision. About 50 homeless people were willing to join the Gu Yuan Tribe, while Shan Kun was willing to escort the children back to the Gu Yuan Tribe to repay Xiao Chen for saving his life.
Looking at the people leaving, Xiao Chen couldn't help but recall the scene where Little Lu 'er had tightly grabbed onto his clothes and refused to let go. He had no choice but to agree to her condition that he would go back to see her immediately after he was done. Only then did she reluctantly let go and followed Shan Kun, looking back every few steps as they left.
Shaking his head, Xiao Chen drove these scenes out of his mind. Then, he once again came to the underground world. At this time, the underground world had already lost its last trace of vitality and had become lifeless.
Xiao Chen didn't want to miss out on the hundreds of years of accumulation of the Scorpion God Tribe. As for how to take it away, others might not have a way, but could Xiao Chen not have a way?
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but speed up.
