Chapter 570: Disintegrating Someone Half Way into Divine Transformation Realm with a Single Punch
Those of the Taichu Path were determined to halt Lu Xuan’s advance, even if it cost them their own lives.
The survivors watched Lu Xuan easily kill experts at the ninth tier of the Divine Treasure Realm, which Taichu Path had painstakingly fostered for years. They felt as though their reddened eyes were about to bleed out.
The Taichu Path truly had a comprehensive heritage, as well as access to massive resources.
Even so, fostering someone to reach the Ninth Tier of Divine Treasure Realm remained a difficult task.
Fostering someone capable of getting half a step into Divine Transformation Realm proved even more difficult.
Within the previous generation, the sect already had the allotted one or two people at the Divine Transformation Realm.
That was where the limit of the world currently was at.
That limit of the world was their limit as well.
It could be said that every cultivator at the ninth tier of the Divine Treasure Realm was precisely why the Taichu Path was able to reign supreme.
While there was no doubt that the supreme ones among them at Divine Transformation Realm were indeed powerful, they could not possibly have had those people work all the time. Even then, those formidable fighters formed the bulk of those executing their supremacy.
If half of the Taichu Path’s extreme renown was said to come from the grand ancestors at Divine Transformation Realm, then the other half would’ve come from those who were at the ninth tier of Divine Treasure Realm.
At that moment, many of them had perished without being given a chance to take action. The aftermath would’ve been no different from waging war with other sacred grounds.
To make matters worse, they might not have even lost so many formidable ones when waging war against other sacred grounds. Currently, at least 30 cultivators at the ninth tier of Divine Treasure Realm had already perished within minutes.
One could imagine just how dire their losses were.
Lu Xuan was severing their heads at a very frightening rate.
Each person at the ninth tier of the Divine Treasure Realm had been fostered for at least over 100 years, with untold amounts of resources committed to doing so. Even then, it took only a single slap to kill several of them.
“We can’t afford to let him keep doing as he pleases. Otherwise, we’ll all die before the grand ancestor arrived.”
At that moment, one of the two remaining cultivators half a step into Divine Transformation Realm emerged.
As vice sectmaster of the sect, he was one of the cultivators of the highest status among those of the Taichu Path.
His status was practically the highest among those from the Taichu Path who were present on that day.
That was because both the grand ancestor at Divine Transformation Realm and the sectmaster were present on that day. If they were, Yan Han would not have been the one hosting the meeting.
At that moment, that man emerged to stop Lu Xuan just to buy the others more time.
He took out a pitch-black pill from his ring, popped it, and swallowed it right away.
Boom!
The Spiritual Aether all over his body instantly burst. Blood sprayed from all over his body in response, instantly turning him into a human soaked with blood. At that moment, he looked more like an actual monster than a human.
Lu Xuan halted his advance. He could immediately tell that the man did not mutate into something else. The phenomenon was a result of his cells being unable to withstand the exponential spike of power. Thus, they shattered.
Lu Xuan was able to sense terrifying Spiritual Aether raging all over that man’s body.
That pill he popped definitely had an effect on him, likely something such as boosting his powers in a short amount of time.
Lu Xuan’s expression remained completely unchanged. He was all too familiar with such means. It was completely normal for an organization as powerful as the Taichu Path to have access to such means.
Lu Xuan would have been able to concoct something like that himself.
He had been using such pills all the time back in his past life, but he no longer needed to do so in his current life. One of the reasons was that few were capable of forcing him to take such drastic measures.
The other reason was that such pills came at a cost: one would’ve definitely damaged one’s own foundations by taking them, even if one were to survive the circumstances calling for the use of such pills.
That vice sectmaster before his eyes was desperate enough to use such means. Even if he were to be able to survive the battle, he would have no longer been able to make it to Divine Transformation Realm.
It was especially costly because it was currently a golden age for cultivators on Earth. Being unable to keep up meant that he would fall far behind his juniors.
Regardless, Lu Xuan remained completely unfazed over what happened.
He had seen too many scenarios like this back in his past life. At this point, scenes over a hundred times sadder than this would not have even fazed him.
Arrggghhhh!
A terrifying aura burst all over that vice sectmaster of the Taichu Path, who looked so harrowing that no one dared to get near him.
He was screaming in pain the whole time.
Every muscle on his body crumbled one by one, while his bones continued to grind against each other.
There was just no way for those of the Taichu Path to have remained oblivious to what their vice sectmaster was doing after seeing him in such a state. The man was sacrificing himself to halt Lu Xuan’s advance and even kill Lu Xuan, so as to buy them all time.
They all turned their gaze at Lu Xuan, glaring at him and wanting nothing more than to tear him to pieces.
This man brought about such a massive loss to the Taichu Path.
Those of the Taichu Path had been nurturing their forces in the Blessed Enclave for ages and had never seen such awful times.
The number of fighters who died by Lu Xuan’s hands was higher than those who had died over the past century.
After seeing his powers rise exponentially, the vice sectmaster roared, “Die!”
He clenched his fist and threw a punch right at Lu Xuan.
The blood that splattered all over the place coalesced into a massive fist that headed towards Lu Xuan.
Terrifying amounts of power raged from within his body, bringing him to the brink of total collapse inside.
He desperately wanted to let out all that force with just one punch and hit Lu Xuan with it.
“Hmph, you’re in way over your head.” Lu Xuan did not show any sign of sympathy towards his opponent. The feud between him and the Taichu Path had been going on for two lifetimes. Thus, he saw it fitting to bring an end to it on that day.
Whether it be Taichu Path or the Lu Clan, one of them had to perish.
Lu Xuan’s aura raged as he conjured a blood dragon, which then roared under the effects of the Auric Flower. Lu Xuan then threw a punch.
His fist, infused with the might of that blood dragon, clashed with that incoming blood-colored punch.
Boom!
A massive rumble rang out as everyone saw the two fists collided in the air. Vibrating energy fluctuations could be seen spreading out all over the place from where the fists met.
Boom!
The few fighters of the Taichu Path who happened to stay too close were immediately sent flying by the resulting force, which had gravely injured them.
“He did it. He seriously did it!”
It was only then that many realized that the vice sectmaster actually managed to stop Lu Xuan’s advance.
Lu Xuan, who was seen to be a devil incarnate, was actually stopped by their vice sectmaster. That brought them some bit of relief.
At that moment, those from the Taichu Path did not seem to possess their typical arrogance.
It had been nearly impossible to even withstand Lu Xuan’s attack.
The only one who could take out the monster before their eyes was probably the grand ancestor at Divine Transformation Realm.
Lu Xuan pulled back after the hit. The body of that vice sectmaster of the Taichu Path, who looked dashing and almighty just moments ago, gradually began to crumble before exploding into a rain of blood and flesh almost immediately afterward.
