In the hidden world, apart from Silas, the Willis family had only one Nascent Soul expert left, who was already heavily injured.
She was a graceful and charming beauty, but her true age had long surpassed sixty!
Of course, sixty years old was still considered relatively young for cultivators.
However, at this moment, the beautiful woman’s hair was disheveled, blood stains covered her body, and blood continuously overflowed from the corners of her mouth.
It was evident that she was on the verge of collapse.
On the other hand, although the Nascent Soul powerhouses from the Sun Moon Sect also had injuries, as they had consistently outnumbered their opponents, their injuries were relatively minor.
At this moment, a look of hatred and ruthlessness filled the faces of the four of them as they prepared to join forces and use a deadly move.
The people from the Sun Moon Sect held a deep-seated grudge against the hidden world’s challenge.
However, just at this moment, the beautiful woman’s face suddenly turned as red as burning charcoal, and a terrifying energy surged through her body, causing her to expand.
“Ahahaha, let’s die together!”
After enduring another heavy blow to her back, the beautiful woman laughed hysterically, displaying a mad demeanor.
“Not good, she’s going to self-destruct!”
“Retreat!”
The four Nascent Soul experts from the Sun Moon Sect immediately changed their expressions and quickly dispersed in various directions.
Victory was within reach, and no one wanted to exchange their lives for it.
“Hahaha, fools!”
The beautiful woman laughed a few times upon seeing this, taking advantage of the opportunity to break free from their encirclement.
And the direction she rushed towards was none other than the location where Fiery Dragon and Silas were engaged in a fierce battle.
At this time, the two peak Nascent Soul experts had been fighting for a long time.
Whether it was due to the heavy losses suffered by the Willis family’s experts from the hidden world, which affected their mental state and fighting spirit, or because Fiery Dragon had a slight advantage in strength, Silas had several injuries on his body.
His left shoulder had even collapsed, and his left arm hung limply by his side.
Clearly, he had been struck by Fiery Dragon’s blow.
Just then, accompanied by a violent and unstable energy fluctuation, the beautiful woman crazily rushed over.
She looked at Silas, her eyes filled with determination and a hint of affection.
“Silas!”
“This island can’t be saved anymore!”
“I’ll hold him off, you go!”
The beautiful woman hoarsely shouted, charging towards Fiery Dragon without hesitation.
Her body surged with vigorous energy, as if her life was burning to enhance her strength.
Silas, noticing the situation, narrowed his eyes fiercely.
He surveyed his surroundings and saw the bodies of the Willis family’s experts from the hidden world strewn about, a touch of sadness fleeting across his face.
The next moment, after giving the beautiful woman a deep look, he turned around and ran towards the northern part of the island.
There were several speedboats there, prepared for emergencies.
Finally, they were put to use.
“I’ll fight you!”
At this moment, the beautiful woman rushed towards Fiery Dragon, her face filled with madness and ferocity.
“You crazy woman, get lost!”
Fiery Dragon sensed the desperate intent of the beautiful woman and didn’t give her a chance to approach him.
Although she was only in the early stage of Nascent Soul, her desperate efforts posed a threat to him.
Whoosh!
The two huge hammers in Fiery Dragon’s hands were thrown out, shooting straight towards the middle-aged beautiful woman.
The middle-aged beautiful woman twisted her body and avoided one of the hammers, but the other one crashed into her body with a loud bang.
Carrying the fury of a peak Nascent Soul expert’s strike, the hammer exploded upon hitting the woman’s body, turning her into a mess of flesh and blood.
However, Fiery Dragon knew that it wasn’t solely due to the terrifying power of his blow; rather, the woman had been preparing to self-destruct.
Terrifying energy fluctuations spread in all directions, forcing Fiery Dragon to avoid their edge.
After the energy fluctuations subsided, Fiery Dragon waved away the dust in front of his eyes and looked towards the direction Silas had escaped, a trace of unwillingness on his face.
“Not bad, you managed to run fast enough!”
Fiery Dragon snorted coldly, hesitated for a moment, and gave up the pursuit. If the beautiful woman had delayed him like that, Silas must have already fled.
Moreover, it would be quite challenging for him to kill Silas at the same cultivation level. If the opponent were to go all out, he would probably gain nothing from it.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the remaining eight Golden Core experts from the hidden world’s Willis family had all perished after sacrificing three Sun Moon Sect experts. At this point, the intense battle between the Golden Core and even Nascent Soul powerhouses gradually came to an end.
This battle was undoubtedly extremely brutal. The people from the hidden world’s Willis family on the island had suffered heavy casualties. On the side of the Sun Moon Sect, out of the original eighteen Golden Core experts, only seven remained.
These experts of such caliber could be considered dominant forces in the outside world. However, during this intense battle, their lives seemed as insignificant as grass and weeds.
The entire island seemed to be filled with a strong smell of blood. The atmosphere was filled with death, resentment, the stench of corpses, and the aura of killing, lingering without dispersing.
Fiery Dragon stood there, looking at the countless corpses on the ground, with a gloomy and unpleasant expression. The seven Golden Core experts beside him and the four Nascent Soul powerhouses also wore expressions of grief and anger.
They had won, but it was a pyrrhic victory.
“Alright, pull yourselves together! No matter what, those dogs from the hidden world’s Willis family have been completely wiped out.”
“This island ultimately belongs to our Sun Moon Sect.”
“Fellow sect members, their deaths were not in vain!”
“As long as we occupy this Spiritual Vein, our Sun Moon Sect will definitely rise again! We might even return to the ancient level!”
“Scott, take six people to deal with the bodies and the scene. The rest of us will go find that Spiritual Vein.”
Fiery Dragon encouraged his fellow sect members and then instructed one of the Nascent Soul powerhouses.
At this moment, Scott nodded and surveyed the peoplepresent, then he suddenly exclaimed, “Hmm?”
“Right, where’s Lachlan?”
As he mentioned it, everyone immediately reacted.
“Yeah, where did that kid go?”
“He’s not among the corpses of those who died in battle!”
“Did he run away?”
Previously, everyone was too preoccupied with the fierce battle to notice Lachlan’s whereabouts, but now they realized that they hadn’t seen the kid at all.
“Quick, follow me to find the Spiritual Vein!”
“If that kid ran away, it’s fine, but if he dares to mess with the Spiritual Vein, I’ll tear him apart!”
Fiery Dragon’s eyes flashed with a chilling light, emanating an icy aura.
On the other side!
In the underground mine where the Spiritual Vein is located, Lachlan’s aura is steadily rising. At this moment, he has actually broken through to the mid-Golden Core stage and it seems far from over.
The spiritual energy condensed by the Myriad Transformation Energy Array continuously pours into Lachlan’s body. He feels like an unfilled bottomless pit.
At the same time, not only Lachlan’s power is undergoing changes, but the Myriad Transformation Energy Array is also undergoing transformation.
On this island, the ground is littered with corpses, and the air is filled with heavy and peculiar energies of death, killing, and so on. At some point, these “energies” have also been condensed by the Myriad Transformation Energy Array and transformed into a certain kind of special energy, pouring into Lachlan’s body.
This “energy” seems to be filled with slaughter, destruction, and death!
Lachlan was originally in a mysterious state. In his mind, the battle with the yellow-eyed man constantly evolves, and a strong fighting spirit surges from within him.
Gradually, this fighting spirit merges with the special energy transformed by the Myriad Transformation Energy Array. In the end, it even blends with the “momentum” Lachlan previously comprehended.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Lachlan seems to have touched a kind of profound power. This power seems to be a rule that operates in the world, and he vaguely grasps and comprehends it.
This rule seems to embody destruction and death.
Buzz!
In an instant, something seems to burst open in Lachlan’s mind. The “momentum” he originally comprehended disappears from his mind, replaced by another more powerful and domineering energy.
At the same time, the True Energy and elixir field within Lachlan’s body also seem to possess their own spirituality, allowing this energy to merge with them.
“This is…”
“For now, let’s call it the Power of Death!”
