CHAPTER 670: CHAPTER 670: RED LOTUS KARMA FIRE

The river of petals showed no sign of stopping as it quickly closed in.

"No!"

Huang Qi bellowed, his Emperor Spiritual Weapon in hand, slashing out Sword Energy in an attempt to diminish the might of the petal river.

But his attacks were too weak.

This river of petals was of a low-grade Emperor Spirit Technique level!

Huang Qi’s Emperor Spirit Techniques were powerless. What significant effect could mere Sword Energy have?

"Boom boom boom..."

A series of muffled sounds rang out, the Sword Energy, frail as paper, easily pierced by the river of petals.

"Block it for me!"

Huang Qi roared in fury.

Hundreds of barriers of Protective Spiritual Power had already formed around his body.

Yet, all was in vain.

The Protective Spiritual Power was breached almost instantly!

In the end, Huang Qi could only slash at the river of petals with his Emperor Spiritual Weapon in hand.

This time, it was truly effective.

The material of the Emperor Spiritual Weapon was special, immensely sturdy.

Even Emperor Spirit Techniques could not destroy it!

Just as a glimmer of surprise appeared in Huang Qi’s eyes, more than a dozen petals appeared before him and then struck him right between the eyebrows.

"Boom!"

Huang Qi’s head burst open like a watermelon.

A two-star, early-stage Emperor, dead!

At this moment, the world was silent. You could hear a pin drop!

Green Lotus Flowing Flower, the fourth move of the Green Lotus Sword Manual, possessed the might of a low-grade Emperor Spirit Technique!

Because this attack sent petals flowing like a river at the enemy.

Since it was a river, it naturally had fluidity.

When petals up front were blocked, the petals following charged toward the enemy at an even more terrifying speed!

This was the cunning aspect of Green Lotus Flowing Flower!

With a thought, Ling Chen sent out Divine Soul Telekinesis, sweeping up the Emperor Spirit Weapon.

He did not immediately collect Huang Qi’s corpse.

This person was an Emperor, with a small world within him.

With the master dead, the small world would gradually dissipate.

Only Emperors who had reached the World Realm fifth level or above could have their small worlds remain stable after death.

As for Huang Qi, who was merely at the second level of the World Realm, his small world was not sufficiently stable and could only dissipate.

"Bang!"

Huang Qi’s corpse crashed to the ground.

A huge crater was formed.

At this moment, terrifying Spiritual Energy began to emerge from the crater.

This was the Spiritual Power from within Huang Qi’s world.

Having secured the Emperor Spiritual Weapon, Ling Chen looked towards the crowd in the distance.

"Whoosh!"

Ling Chen’s figure moved, darting out like lightning.

Thousands of feet in distance, it took only moments for him.

As he charged into the crowd, Ling Chen directly executed the Green Lotus Sword Realm.

A Sword Energy Sphere divided into nine, flying out in nine directions.

"Boom boom boom..."

The Sword Energy Spheres then exploded.

With his current Spiritual Power executing a high-grade King Spirit Technique, not a single person could withstand it!

Not even those at the ninth level of the Palace Mansion Realm!

"Ahh ahh..."

Horrific screams emerged from all directions.

These were the cries of the injured Cultivators.

Those Cultivators close to the Sword Energy Spheres were instantly killed, without even a chance to cry out.

Ling Chen was like a wolf among sheep!

Wherever he appeared, the surrounding area erupted into wails of despair.

Blood and severed limbs flew in every direction, staining the earth and sky a single color.

The world turned into a shade of crimson.

Dyed with the fresh blood of the Cultivators!

Towards these Cultivators, Ling Chen showed not an ounce of mercy.

If the Divine Saber Sect dared to attack the Star Pavilion, they would have to bear a proper price!

That price was annihilation!

After half an hour, Ling Chen had nearly slaughtered the entire Divine Saber Sect.

Some, seeing their situation dire, had escaped early on.

Ling Chen could not be bothered to pursue them.

After resolving everything, Ling Chen’s gaze fell upon the five Elders.

All of these individuals were at the late stages of the ninth level of the Palace Mansion Realm!

At this moment, all were sealed in cultivation by Ling Chen.

But how could slaughtering the cultivators of the Divine Blade Sect suffice?

"Take me to your Divine Blade Sect’s Treasure Vault!"

Ling Chen commanded coldly.

"Yes!"

Five cultivators hastily complied, obedient as good children.

Ling Chen released a surge of Spiritual Power, bolstering the five.

Guided by their direction, Ling Chen arrived at the Divine Blade Sect’s Treasure Vault in a quarter of an hour.

This vault was also guarded by a Spirit Array.

Ling Chen tried to break through but found it utterly unassailable.

After all, he was merely at the early ninth layer of the Palace Mansion Realm. Although he could contend with those at the second layer of the World Realm, much of that was due to the exotic energy within the Mystic Sword capable of shattering World Power.

In terms of offensive might, he was still somewhat inferior!

"Do you have the key to enter the vault?"

Ling Chen inquired.

"Master, when our Sect Leader departed, he entrusted the treasure key to Huang Guardian!"

One of them responded respectfully.

Ling Chen could slay even a two-star Emperor.

Where would they dare to resist him?

Moreover, having witnessed Ling Chen’s ferocity, which nearly wiped out their Divine Blade Sect, they naturally told all they knew without withholding a word at this moment—

Because they wanted to live!

"Huang Guardian, is it?"

Ling Chen nodded.

He soared into the sky and returned to the plaza at the sect’s entrance.

He brought out Huang Qi’s corpse and then, holding the Mystic Sword, sliced open the small world within the latter’s Dantian.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion shattered the small world.

Now, with the Spiritual Energy of the small world nearly depleted, such force naturally could not harm Ling Chen.

Ling Chen gathered all the treasures that burst out.

Then, he returned to the Divine Blade Sect’s Treasure Vault!

"Search for the key!"

Ling Chen ordered.

With a wave of his right hand, numerous items scattered on the ground.

They had once entered this place and seen what the treasure key looked like.

In roughly a quarter of an hour, one of the cultivators handed a green Jade Pendant to Ling Chen.

"Master, this should be it!"

Ling Chen took it, infused it with Spiritual Power, first erased the imprint within, and finally claimed it as his own.

This time, Ling Chen went straight into the light curtain.

Without encountering any obstruction!

Upon entering the Treasure Vault, Ling Chen’s eyes lit up.

First to catch his eye were piles upon piles of Spirit Stones.

Countless!

Behind the Spirit Stones were piles of Spirit Crystals.

Enough for several millions!

Among them, there were over a thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals!

Top-grade Spirit Crystals were generally used only by Emperors of the World Realm.

Soon, Ling Chen would also be able to ascend to the World Realm.

By then, mid-grade Spirit Crystals could no longer satisfy him.

Only top-grade Spirit Crystals would do!

Ling Chen, not bothering with small talk, took out several storage rings and collected all the Spirit Crystals and Spirit Stones.

Then, with immense excitement, Ling Chen roamed around the Treasure Vault.

King Spirit Techniques, King Spirit Techniques!

Spiritual Medicine, Elixirs!

King Spiritual Weapons!

There were even two Emperor Spiritual Weapons!

Ling Chen pocketed everything.

Like a typhoon, he emptied all the treasures in the vault.

How rich was a sect’s treasure?

And the resources of this Divine Blade Sect, able to support the cultivation of so many and even nurturing four Emperors, were naturally immense!

Ling Chen needed as many as twenty storage rings to fit all the treasures.

The Divine Blade Sect’s Treasure Vault was divided into various smaller vaults.

Before long, Ling Chen had arrived at the last of these smaller vaults.

The treasures here were comparatively unique.

Some particularly peculiar items were stored within.

"Hm?"

Ling Chen’s gaze sharpened, landing on a flame shaped like a red lotus not far away.

"Is this the Red Lotus Karma Fire?"

Ling Chen exclaimed in astonishment.
