"Next."
The human cultivators couldn't help but stare blankly.
They had followed Zi Chen here to watch a good show, so of course they knew what had happened.
Apart from this tribe, there was another tribe that had attacked the aboriginals, the Soul-Devouring Tribe.
Compared to the Dax Tribe, there were far fewer soul-devouring tribes, but they were far more dangerous.
Zi Chen had already wiped out a tribe. Was that not enough of a shock? Was he planning to wipe out the Soul-Devouring Tribe as well?
Zi Chen didn't explain. Instead, he used facts to prove his point. He took a step forward and appeared on the teleportation platform.
Taking another step forward, Zi Chen's figure reappeared in the sky.
"Yes." Everyone was stunned when they saw Zi Chen return. They did not understand what was going on.
Zi Chen smiled faintly and said, "I almost forgot about you."
As he spoke, he waved his sleeve and a gust of wind appeared.
The gust of wind swept past the ruins and swept away everything, revealing a curled up figure.
This was a foreign tribe member at the peak of the 9th rank. Normally, he would be a powerful expert.
But today, his body was covered in wounds, as if he had been cut into pieces. He was in a very sorry state.
This was caused by the shockwaves of energy. Many other foreign tribes had died in the shockwaves, but he was still alive. He was clearly quite strong.
The gust of wind had already disappeared, but his body was still trembling uncontrollably.
This person was the cause of this tribe's destruction, the 9th rank Lion Man.
"Come out. Stop pretending to be dead," Zi Chen said indifferently.
The 9th rank Lion Man raised his head. Apart from fear, there was even more confusion in his eyes.
Everything had changed too quickly.
In just a few breaths of time, he had gone from heaven to hell. He almost couldn't take it anymore.
He had already given up all hope and regretted provoking Zi Chen. But he didn't expect the situation to take a turn for the worse. The lords all appeared and said that he had made a great contribution. After the battle, they might even reward him.
It was as if a strong hand had grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back from hell to heaven. He felt as if his entire life was filled with sunshine.
However, the sunlight only shone down for a few breaths. It didn't even bathe his entire body before disappearing.
The powerful hand just now seemed to have played a big joke on him. It grabbed his ankle and dragged him into hell again. This time, it was the last layer of hell, and he would never be able to escape.
He raised his head and looked at Zi Chen. There was some fluctuation in his eyes, as if he had seen the lord of the last layer of hell.
This Lord was a human, a race that he hated the most in the past. However, he was now lying on the ground, being accused of crimes by a human Lord, most of which were killing and eating humans.
How many people had it killed and how many people had it eaten?
How many evil things have they done to humans?
"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to eat you!"
One crime after another rang out in his ears, buzzing like flies. Finally, he let out a roar and charged at the suzerain with all the power he could muster.
The moment he charged forward, his mind was no longer in a trance. All the hallucinations from before had disappeared.
He saw the ruins, saw Zi Chen, and saw the others. He returned to reality from his trance, but he didn't see hell or the suzerain.
"Boom!"
Then, he saw golden light. It was dazzling and bright. After that, there was no more.
Looking at the fallen ninefold lionman, Zi Chen shook his head and disappeared.
This time, he really did disappear. When he reappeared, he was in the Giant Dragon World, at the transportation array.
Man Shi and the others followed him out, as did the twenty warriors. The human cultivators who had been watching quickly followed.
"Boom!"
In the ruins of the tribe, the intact teleportation platform exploded.
Following the destruction of the transportation array, in another tribe thousands of miles away, Zang Yongsi cupped his fists and smiled. "This matter is over. This Zang will take his leave."
"Sigh." A disappointed sigh sounded from the tribe.
Zang Yongsi laughed and left.
… …
"Boom!"
Under Zi Chen's feet, an explosion came from the ground. Soil splashed, and a deep pit appeared. The underground transportation array was destroyed.
Zi Chen fulfilled his warning and destroyed a tribe.
Looking at the transportation array that led to the Soul Eater Clan, Zi Chen didn't hesitate and was the first to walk up.
The group appeared in the Soul Eater Clan. This was a black world. The air was filled with an oppressive aura that made people very uncomfortable.
Zi Chen appeared, followed by the people from before. Of course, there were also some who wanted to join in the fun.
Looking up at the black sky and then at the black ground, Zi Chen's lips curled into a cold smile. He said indifferently, "It seems that you are ready."
No one responded. Only Zi Chen's voice echoed in the air.
"This is a formation."
Man Shi's expression changed. He liked to fight with strength and hated formations the most. He also didn't want to fight someone who knew formations.
Zi Chen shook his head and said, "No, this is a magical power."
"They are very confident." The Fortune Teller's expression turned cold.
The humans who had retreated far away seemed uneasy.
Although they had always had confidence in Zi Chen, this was the Soul Eater Clan after all. This was a mysterious and dangerous clan. Just one of them could destroy a native tribe.
The Soul Eater Clan was the one that the humans of the Imperial Sky Region didn't want to meet and offend the most.
"I'll break this place."
Ignoring the whispers behind him, Shendao took a step forward. His battle intent rose.
"You guys are in charge of protecting the others. I'll take care of this."
Zi Chen stopped Shendao. His body began to glow.
The dazzling golden light illuminated the entire dark world.
The golden light was very dazzling. Many humans couldn't get used to it and retreated again.
"That's."
"It's a spiritual body."
They retreated far away, and when they saw Zi Chen's dazzling golden light again, their expressions changed greatly.
Because Zi Chen's physical body had disappeared. That dazzling golden figure was Zi Chen's soul.
His soul was like the sea, deep and majestic. It was also like a huge golden hole that constantly devoured everything. Even their vision could be swallowed at any time.
A golden saber appeared in the completely spiritualized Zi Chen's hand. Just like when he killed Wycliff, he held the saber hilt and suddenly pulled it out.
A saber light, with him as the center, drew a perfect golden circle in all directions.
The golden circle directly split the darkness into two. The upper half flew towards the sky while the lower half fell towards the ground. Bright light shone in from the outside world.
After breaking open the dark world, Zi Chen's attack didn't stop. He slashed down again.
The darkness was split into four parts.
Then, the saber light flashed twice. The dark world was cut into eight parts. At the same time, a mournful scream echoed in the dark world.
The entire world shattered like a mirror. Everyone's eyes lit up.
A broken soul that had been split into eight parts flew from eight directions. They gathered in Zi Chen's hand and formed a soul ball.
These sounds weren't gathering. They were retreating.
The Soul Devouring Clan, who had been surrounding and preparing to launch a surprise attack, all retreated because of the soul ball in Zi Chen's hand.
That was because it was the soul of a powerhouse on the list, yet it was easily destroyed by Zi Chen.
Zi Chen was still in his spiritual form. His emotionless golden eyes scanned the shocked Soul Devouring Clan members who were retreating quickly.
He stepped forward, holding the scabbard with his left hand and drawing the saber with his right.
"Whoosh!"
The tip of the saber pointed. A hundred-meter-long golden saber light followed the Soul Devouring Clan members.
This was a pure soul attack that specialized in destroying souls. It was even more lethal to unique existences like the Soul Devouring Clan.
The saber light arrived first and swept through the Soul Devouring Clan members.
A dozen of them paled and retreated quickly. They were still alive.
The other 20 or so turned into pure souls. Their souls were shattered.
One attack had killed more than 20 Soul Devouring Clan members.
This was the effect of a perfect spiritual thought attack.
Letting those people retreat, Zi Chen stood with the saber and said indifferently, "Come out if you want to fight."
"As expected of the person who killed Wycliff. You've already guessed that this is a trap, but you still dare to come." A cold voice sounded. A Soul Devouring Clan expert walked out.
"Whoosh."
Zi Chen didn't wait for the other party to report his name. He didn't even care about his ranking. He went forward directly.
"You."
Facing Zi Chen's teleportation, the expert on the list only had time to utter the word "you" before Zi Chen's attack arrived.
Compared to energy attacks, spiritual thought attacks were faster and more dangerous.
Zi Chen's first attack. The Soul Devouring Clan member's expression changed drastically. He kept retreating.
Then, Zi Chen slashed down with the saber. He didn't use any battle techniques. It was just pure soul power.
"Pfft."
The Soul Devouring Clan member was split in two. Zi Chen took another broken soul ball.
Only two breaths had passed. The other Soul Devouring Clan experts hadn't had time to help.
Another expert on the list was killed. The place was dead silent.
As if they had learned their lesson, the experts on the list who appeared next came together. One of them said, "We're not the Dax Clan. No matter how strong you are, if your soul can't withstand it, you can only die here."
"Stay here forever," another expert said.
Zi Chen snorted coldly. He held the saber in front of his chest.
Seeing the same move, an expert from the Soul-devouring Clan sneered, "Zi Chen, your move is indeed powerful, but it's impossible for you to kill us. As long as we join forces, you'll definitely die."
This was the truth. No matter how strong Zi Chen was, he was only at the early stage of the ninth level. They were all at the peak of the ninth level. The difference in soul realm was huge.
…
…
The battle had already begun.
Tens of thousands of miles away, an elder appeared in the Soul Devouring Clan's line of sight.
This was a human elder. He slowly walked forward. His pace wasn't fast, but every step he took caused the ground to shake.
A suffocating aura came from the horizon and enveloped this force.
