Chapter 124: Killed with One Palm
A figure swiftly appeared near Lin Dong, clad in a green robe and radiating the powerful aura of a peak Creation stage cultivator from the Holy Light Empire.
"Holy Light Radiance!"
The man took a fierce step forward and punched towards Lin Dong. Instantly, a surge of violent energy erupted like a volcanic explosion, transforming into a blinding divine radiance that swept towards Lin Dong with terrifying pressure.
However, Lin Dong made no move to block or evade the attack. He remained motionless.
"How powerful!"
"Why isn't he fighting back? Is he paralyzed with fear?"
"What a pitiful child. This is what happens when you try to show off without enough strength."
The surrounding crowd felt relieved for not stepping up, feeling their decision was wise. But just as the attack neared Lin Dong, it silently vanished.
"Who?"
Li Sheng's expression changed as he scanned the surroundings.
"It's your ancestor!" Xiao Tian approached, hands behind his back, walking on air.
Li Sheng's eyes filled with killing intent as he gazed at Xiao Tian. Though sensing a dangerous aura from Xiao Tian, Li Sheng did not attack immediately. Instead, he threatened, "Friend, this is the Holy Light Empire's business. I advise you not to meddle."
Xiao Tian replied indifferently, "You're trying to kill my brother-in-law. How can I not meddle?"
"So, you're together," Li Sheng realized there was no turning back and said, "In that case, let's fight!"
"You are not qualified," Xiao Tian said, extending his hand to slap Li Sheng.
The palm seemed unremarkable but caused ripples in the air as it moved.
"Die!" Li Sheng roared, his body radiating a blinding light. The light converged to form an enormous elephant. Standing tall, it seemed to dominate the heavens, emanating a power that seemed capable of supporting the sky.
"He's too arrogant! Senior Li Sheng's mid-level Creation technique, Holy Elephant Heaven Shattering Charge, is unstoppable."
"With Senior Li Sheng's peak Creation stage cultivation, this attack will turn that guy into mincemeat in an instant!"
"Dare to oppose the Holy Light Empire, this guy is doomed!"
Members of the Holy Light Empire mocked, confident in their senior's victory. They envisioned Xiao Tian's defeat and death. But the next moment, their expressions froze in shock. They were speechless, like ducks with their throats cut.
Xiao Tian's palm collided with the massive light elephant, instantly turning it into countless light specks that scattered. The remaining force of the palm struck Li Sheng, killing him instantly. Xiao Tian also collected Li Sheng's soul.
"Hiss!"
Everyone was stunned by this scene. The crowd erupted in awe.
"Nirvana stage! He must be a Nirvana stage expert!"
"They always say not to be arrogant in the ancient battleground without Nirvana strength. The Holy Light Empire taught us that lesson well!"
"So strong! And so young, already a Nirvana stage expert!"
Everyone gazed at Xiao Tian with reverence. Ignoring the crowd, Xiao Tian exterminated the Holy Light Empire members and took their storage bags before leaving.
...
Night fell, shrouding the ancient battleground in darkness. The night here was particularly oppressive, with a blood-red moon hanging in the sky, casting an eerie glow.
Under the moonlight, countless low roars echoed, filled with rage and violence. The blood moon made the beasts more bloodthirsty and ferocious, explaining why staying outside at night was so dangerous.
Xiao Tian sat in a stone house, using the Devouring Ancestral Symbol's power to absorb energy from the surroundings. This energy included not just essence but also Nirvana Qi. Originally, Xiao Tian couldn't absorb Nirvana Qi, but with the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, the impossible became possible.
As he absorbed the Nirvana Qi, Xiao Tian felt his body gradually strengthening. Although the process was slow, he knew that with enough Nirvana Qi, his physical body would become immensely powerful.
Several days passed in the gathering point. Suddenly, the ground began to tremble violently.
"A beast tide is coming! A beast tide!"
The warning spread quickly, and a surge of energy erupted throughout the gathering point. People rushed to the city walls, preparing to face the approaching tide.
Xiao Tian, in a flash of awe-struck gazes, landed on the city wall. Looking out, he saw a mass of frenzied beasts charging towards the city.
"Kill!" Xiao Tian leaped into the beast tide, slaughtering beasts madly. He wasn't driven by a sense of justice but by the desire for the beast cores, which contained Nirvana Qi. One Creation stage beast could equal half a month of cultivation.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Xiao Tian's punches fell like meteors, his overwhelming power killing countless beasts, their cores remaining intact. He fought and collected beast cores simultaneously, like a grinding machine, cutting down beasts in waves.
"Wooah! Is this the power of a Nirvana stage expert?"
"He must be above the Five Yuan Nirvana stage to be this strong!"
"Such a prodigy will surely become a legend!"
Xiao Tian's figure left a deep impression on everyone. Inspired, many joined the battle, reaping the benefits of the beast cores.
The fight lasted all night. When the blood moon set and the sun rose, peace returned. The battlefield, littered with beast corpses and craters, told the tale of a fierce battle.
