Chapter 554 No Body Left, the Mastermind Behind
To what extent can a remnant soul of a cultivator interfere with reality?
Those who practice Qi cultivation are ignorant and foolish. Even if they stay in the human world, they can only disturb people's sweet dreams.
A true cultivator who has established a foundation may be able to preserve his instinct to seek the Tao, accumulate Yin Qi, and transform into a ghost general without clear spiritual wisdom.
Only the masters who have condensed the golden elixir, because of the existence of spiritual consciousness, even if it is only a remnant soul, have the opportunity to return to the great way and follow the path of ghost cultivation.
However, even so, the so-called ghost king transformed by the golden elixir cultivator will take a long time to return to the right path without a unique environment.
In contrast, the Yuanying cultivator who is known as the "real person" is very different.
Even if the five qi in the chest is broken up, the three flowers on the top of the head, and the Yuanying is defeated, the remaining remnant soul still has the essence of the Yuanying.
With the help of this remnant soul, the Yuanying cultivator can interfere with reality and perform various powerful means.
Although it is not as good as when he was alive, it still has an overwhelming advantage over ordinary Jindan cultivators.
At this moment!
With Han Zhan's help, Luo Chen's water mirror technique stabilized instantly.
Even if the battlefield was full of demonic energy and the spiritual power was disordered, the water mirror technique still showed the scene of 700 miles on Xuanyan Island.
The picture was very small and difficult to see with the naked eye.
However, this technique was performed by Luo Chen himself, and his spiritual consciousness was embedded in it, carefully selecting some battlefields he was concerned about.
Soon, the battles between the third-level demon kings began to magnify.
"The Ring-headed Turtle Clan really has a deep foundation. After several years of fighting, there are still more than 30 third-level beings in the base camp."
Luo Chen looked surprised and a little shocked in his heart.
As expected of the turtle clan, which is famous for its longevity, after years of accumulation, it still has a terrifying foundation.
This kind of strength is definitely the top Jindan major force even in the human cultivation world.
Even some Yuanying forces that have just entered the upper sect level, after removing the newly promoted Yuanying Zhenren, may not be comparable to the Ring-headed Turtle Clan.
For example, Luoyun Sect.
At its peak, the number of Jindan cultivators was only a dozen or so.
To be able to produce a Yuanying Zhenren like Han Zhan, it is the accumulation of countless generations.
I don’t know what the current situation of Luoyun Sect is with the "fall of Han Zhan"?
Shaking his head, Luo Chen put aside these thoughts and focused his eyes on those pictures.
His prey may be among them!
With his attention, he quickly made a rough judgment of the strength of both sides.
In general, the demon crab side has an absolute advantage!
Even though the Ring-headed Turtle Clan has a deep foundation, the number of high-level strongmen of the five royal demon crabs presents an overwhelming advantage.
At this moment on the battlefield, the five clan leaders have not made a move, and the remaining clan strongmen alone have suppressed the third-level demon king of the Ring-headed Turtle.
Moreover, most of them are fighting with more people against fewer people!
Not only that, in the picture, the number of the third-stage late-stage great demon kings among the five royal demon crabs was somewhat beyond Luo Chen's expectations.
The king crab clan has a total of four great demon kings, and the red rock crab and the magic spider crab clans each have three great demon kings.
The nine-clawed poisonous king crab and the green emperor crab clan are much weaker, with only two in total. If the clan leader who did not move is deducted, the one who can act freely is one person each.
But even so, the number of great demon kings in the Xuanyan Sea still surprised Luo Chen.
If a clan is replaced with a major Jindan force, the distribution of its strong people is really a bit overwhelming for human cultivators.
Take the Yuding Domain as an example. Among the nine Jindan of the Ice Castle, there is only one great cultivator, Master Canglong.
There is only Master Cheng Yan in the Luoyun Sect, and there is no Master Ailao Mountain or Baihua Palace at all.
Qingdan Valley has the largest number of Jindan cultivators. If you count carefully, only the Grand Elder Qingdanzi and the head of Longshou Peak where the Battle Hall is located are great cultivators in the late Jindan period.
"No wonder there was a magic holy land like Yuanmo Sect that believed in the law of the jungle and the law of the jungle. This North Sea cultivation world is still called the Demon Sea, where demons and monsters live together."
"Now it seems that the demon tribe in the Xuanyan Sea is so full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers."
"In the vast North Sea, there are countless great demons hidden in the sea. How can the cultivators conquer all the lands? Especially now that the Yuanmo Sect has been destroyed, when the demon tribe has time to counterattack, I am afraid that this area of cultivation will be in war again."
While sighing, Luo Chen was also looking for suitable prey.
Because the demon crabs were suppressing the ring-headed turtles, the overall situation was turbulent and chaotic, but it seemed to be orderly in chaos.
In this case, it was not suitable for Luo Chen to take action.
But Luo Chen did not give up.
"In a life-or-death situation, no one is willing to sit and wait for death, at least they must perish together."
Over the years, Luo Chen has participated in many wars.
He knows very well how crazy the enemy will be when they are on the verge of despair.
Especially, this is a "race war"!
Time passed slowly, but in just one stick of incense, the third-level demon kings of the ring-headed turtle clan began to fall.
But Luo Chen still couldn't hold back.
He was waiting for a signal!
Suddenly!
Luo Chen's consciousness fell on a mirror, and the picture began to enlarge continuously. The demonic energy inside it became more and more turbulent, and even had a tendency to self-destruct.
In the picture.
Besieged by the three demon kings, a ring-headed turtle as big as a palace suddenly had red eyes.
The majestic demonic energy was swallowed into the body.
The huge body began to expand continuously.
The next moment.
Boom!
The blood spread like waves, and violent explosions shook Xuanyan Island.
The three demon kings involved in the siege retreated while screaming.
In such a scene, everyone knows what happened.
A third-level demon king would not hesitate to self-destruct and take his enemies to hell with him.
In the swamp, Luo Chen sighed with emotion at the Demon King's determination while using his magic power to stabilize the trembling of the Water Mirror Technique.
The signal is coming!
"Senior Han, I will trouble you to look at this water mirror next, and at the same time, use your spiritual consciousness to inform me to take action."
Luo Chen wiped the mirror with one hand, keeping the terrain of the nearby battlefield in mind.
From the Ten Thousand Souls Flag, a three-inch figure floated out, revealing the illusive appearance of an old man.
It's Han Zhan!
The next thing Luo Chen has to do is to walk around the battlefield in person and hunt the demon king. At the same time, let Han Zhan monitor this battlefield and notify him of the corresponding situation anytime and anywhere.
Only by coordinating the inside and the outside can it be convenient for him to pull out chestnuts from the fire!
Han Zhan glanced at Luo Chen helplessly, "Go ahead, I'll let you know if anything happens."
Luo Chen smiled slightly, got into the second-level demon crab puppet, controlled the puppet, and quietly escaped from the swamp.
…
The signal is there, and there is an endless stream of imitators.
In order to protect his home and survive, the high-level ring-headed turtle has no retreat and has no reservations.
When a ring-headed turtle demon king at the early stage of the third level was seriously injured under the siege of two powerful enemies and had no chance of comeback, he chose to die with his enemies.
"Let's go to hell together!"
With a roar, the demon elixir in his body was retracted and released, and the demon power he had accumulated throughout his life suddenly exploded!
The majestic power of self-destruction swept across a hundred miles in an instant.
The large and small low-level monsters shrouded in it, whether it is the five royal family monster crabs or the own ring-headed turtle, are no longer immune to it.
The two Blue Emperor Crab Demon Kings at the center of the battle, even though they had retreated as frantically as possible, were still involved in the huge self-exploding demonic energy impact.
No nonsense.
The two demon kings used their methods at the same time. One turned his carapace over and used it as a shield, and the other exhaled his breath into bubbles to cover himself.
Endless air waves, rolling and surging.
Blood mist and smoke filled the air at the same time, turning the battlefield into a tragic place like a hell on earth.
In the haziness, a third-order blue emperor crab rolled endlessly on the ground.
The bubbles break, break and regenerate, and regenerate and break again.
She kept spitting out bubbles and maintaining her external defense.
Seeing that she had survived the biggest shock of self-destruction, she couldn't help but feel relieved.
"I don't know why these guys are so determined. Isn't it good to surrender and become slaves and vassals?"
"In the early years, we, the Monster Crab clan, were also vassals of the Ring-headed Turtle clan."
"It would be good if he died. I don't know what the situation is like with Brother Five. I just hope he can survive."
Just as her thoughts were swirling, the bubbles in front of her eyes burst again.
Without thinking, the demonic power in her body surged, and she opened her mouth to spit out another defensive bubble.
But something unexpected happened!
One hand, with its fingers curled like claws, penetrated into the unformed bubble.
With a sharp claw, he dug into her soft belly.
When he took it out, a blue golden elixir was clearly visible.
The incident happened suddenly and the demon had not yet reacted.
But she was determined not to admit her mistake about that demon pill.
That is the essence of hundreds of years of hard work!
Within sight, a figure appeared, and she was about to open her mouth to call for help. But when he met that person's eyes, he felt as if he was in a trance.
The bright moon hangs upside down in the sea, and the flowers in my heart bloom and fade.
When he woke up, the corpses were separated and the demon pill was locked.
After the move was successful, Luo Chen blinked, waved his sleeves, and the giant monster crab body disappeared instantly.
And he himself also got into the ground, entered the solid Hunyuan Cauldron, and activated all the hidden formations to cover up his aura.
The Hunyuan Cauldron is a high-grade magic weapon, but its material is extremely hard.
According to Tian Yezi and Han Zhan, it can be regarded as a semi-real weapon after being tempered.
Although this treasure has no defensive power, depending on its material, it can be used as a defensive magic weapon.
With this, Luo Chen can resist the demon king and explode himself!
Outside, the aftermath of the self-destruction gradually dissipated.
A figure rose into the sky, its aura extremely weak.
Flying into the air, he shouted loudly, but there was no response.
He turned around and around, scanning the sky and the earth, but found nothing.
In the end, he left the battlefield helplessly.
For the development of the ethnic group, sacrifices are inevitable, but when this happens to his little sister, he still finds it difficult to accept it.
Inside the Hunyuan Cauldron.
Luo Chen sensed the situation outside and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after the respectfully injured Demon King left.
Unexpectedly, these two Blue Emperor Crab Demon Kings were both quite capable and could survive the self-destruction of enemies of the same level at the same time.
Luo Chen had expected that the other one would survive.
After all, that guy doesn't look weak.
But this one I hunted actually works too.
Thinking back to the bubbles the opponent spit out at that time, this kind of defensive magic is really unique.
It's a pity that he finally fell because of his sneak attack.
The Cloud-Exploring Divine Claw and the Illusion Mirror Flower Water Moon exploded at the same time. Not to mention the third-order early-stage demon king who was in danger of self-destruction, Luo Chen could fight even the intact late-third-order demon king.
Falling is within reason.
"First!"
Luo Chen murmured.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and a voice came into his mind.
"Fifty miles southeast?"
"Very close!"
Because of the power of the self-explosion, the soil rolled in the huge pit.
A demon crab came out from the ground.
After looking around for directions, it spread its eight legs and ran quickly.
If it were normal, such an action would definitely attract attention.
But on this battlefield now, such a speed is not so eye-catching.
Soon, the demon crab came to a new battlefield.
After avoiding several battle groups, Luo Chen huddled behind a huge rock and looked up at the sky.
There, four demon kings were fighting.
With a three-on-one situation, the balance of victory and defeat has begun to tilt.
"In the sky?"
"This time, it's a bit tricky."
...
The sun rises and the moon sets, and the stars change.
The decisive battle on Xuanyan Island, with the demon crab's layer-by-layer advancement, has formed a momentum of breaking bamboo.
Winning this battle is just around the corner.
However, the five royal crabs paid a huge price for the smooth progress!
In the sea, colorful clams floated.
The five clan leaders were eagerly waiting.
One by one, the crabs went in and out, reporting the situation on the battlefield.
"Clan leader, the ring-headed turtles have gone crazy."
"They refused to surrender. They even started to self-destruct on a large scale, causing us huge casualties."
"Although we didn't count them carefully, the number of casualties..."
Listening to the reports from the people below, the faces of the five clan leaders were a little solemn.
Jin Hun, the leader, tried his best to remain calm under his solemn expression.
"It doesn't matter, these are all expected. If the situation is reversed, I'm afraid we will be almost the same. Keep advancing and make sure to get to the center of the island. Qihuan and Hailuo haven't made a move yet."
Qihuan and Hailuo are the two top powerhouses of the ring-headed turtle clan.
They have been practicing for a long time and are powerful, even more powerful than the five of them alone.
This is also the reason why the five clan leaders, who are the top combat forces, have been reluctant to go to the island.
After hearing this order, the people below hurriedly agreed.
However, before leaving, he hesitated and said: "Report to the clan leader, Lord Jinjia found something wrong."
"What's wrong?" Jin Hun was puzzled.
"The casualties of our third-level clan members are somewhat beyond expectations. Not only that, after the death in battle, the bodies are not found. This strange situation has happened more than once."
Faced with this question, Jin Hun's eyes turned, and his face showed a look of doubt.
Can't find the body again?
His eyes fell on the other four clan leaders.
"What about you?"
"It's the same!"
The other four monsters gave a reply.
If it was one or two, it would be fine, but in the past year, nearly ten third-level monster crab kings have been killed.
In such a strange situation, how could they, the leaders, be indifferent?
Zhu Xiang of the Demon Spider Crab clan suddenly spoke up: "Yesterday, we had intelligence that a human cultivator appeared on Xuanyan Island. According to identification, it was Gu Shaoshang who had left before."
"He's back?"
"What's the purpose of returning?"
"I'm afraid he has been back for a long time." Zhu Xiang said slowly: "It's not just our side that has bodies disappeared. There are also many bodies of strong warriors who died in the ring-headed turtle."
With this, the wrong things before and after seemed to be connected.
It is very likely that Gu Shaoshang returned and quietly collected the bodies of the ring-headed turtles on the battlefield.
And he took the opportunity to collect some bodies of the third-level demon crabs. This behavior is also normal in the eyes of human cultivators.
However, when it comes to the five royal demon crabs, they can't accept it.
Chi Yan was furious, "Humans are really despicable and cunning!"
"Is he still on the island?" Jiu Zhua also said angrily, "If he is still there, I don't mind going to find him in person!"
Zhu Xiang shook his head and shared the information that Gu Shaoshang had left Xuanyan Island.
"It's good that he left, otherwise I would catch him..."
"No!"
Suddenly, Jin Hun reacted.
"Since he has left, why would such a corpse disappear in the battlefield of Xuanyan Island?"
Several monsters looked at each other.
A guess emerged in their minds.
Could it be that there is another mastermind behind the scenes?
Just as they were speculating, Zhu Xiang's face suddenly changed slightly.
Almost one after another, the other four monsters also changed their faces.
"Hai Luo, finally took action!"
