"Hmm?"

The black-robed man looked at Chen Yao's collar and discovered that it was completely empty. There was no Evil Buddha pendant there. He could not help but furrow his brows in confusion.

Of course, what he didn't know was that Chen Yao had long since coincidentally fused with the Demonic Buddha Pendant.

However, it was merely the space of a few breaths before he snorted coldly. Then, he turned to Chen Yao and said.

"Brat, don't play tricks on me. I clearly saw it on your neck before. Since you won't give it to me, then I'll come find it myself."

The black-robed man suddenly shot toward Chen Yao.

"Pull it out."

Chen Yao was completely exhausted. However, when he spoke to the black-robed man just now, Chen Yao had secretly taken a third-grade Blood Qi Pill and had even used his chaotic energy to heal his wounds.

In that short period of time, he was still able to recover a sliver of his strength.

The Nurturing sword sheath appeared in his hand, while the Heaven Severing Sword was also inserted into the Nurturing sword sheath, he suddenly pulled out the sword.

"Get the hell back."

However, Chen Yao could not imagine what had just happened. The Heaven's Severing Sword was just an inch from its scabbard, yet the sword qi in the air was already crisscrossing. However, the black-robed man's body was emitting a powerful pressure as he let out an angry shout.

He could not move his hand that was pulling the sword at all, and the Heaven Severing Sword was forced back into its scabbard.

"Half-Saint?"

A trace of astonishment appeared on Chen Yao's face.

Yes, even someone at the peak of the Emperor Stage would be unable to exert such powerful pressure on him. He would not even have the strength to draw out the sword; his opponent's cultivation was at least a semi-sage realm cultivator.

What kind of power was this? A semi-sage?

Since his opponent had yet to make a move, Chen Yao was unable to discern if he was from the Martial Ancestor Realm or from the Myriad Demon Sect.

He was on the verge of death, yet he didn't even know who the other party was. This feeling was extremely unpleasant.

He didn't dare to hesitate in the slightest.

Chen Yao was preparing to awaken his murderous heart.

Only by awakening the Heart of Slaughter would he be able to deal with this mysterious semi-sage expert. Otherwise, his only option would be to die.

However, Chen Yao only had to think about it before his throat was already being squeezed by someone who was about to kill him.

Half Saint had the ability to pierce the air, so his speed was extremely fast.

The black-robed man firmly clutched at his throat.

"Do you think that I will give you the chance to use your heart of slaughter? "Since you're not willing to hand it over, then I will take it myself."

A strange smile appeared on the lips of the black-robed man. Then, he viciously bit down on Chen Yao's neck.

"Ah!"

The pain from being bitten caused Chen Yao to scream in pain.

However, the next moment, he panicked even more.

This was because he discovered that his blood essence's power was weakening, and had even disappeared as a result.

"Stage 5 of the Genuine Force."

"Fourth stage."

"Three."

"..."

What made Chen Yao even more panicked was that he discovered that his cultivation level was dropping. He was about to fall into the Spiritual Martial Force.

Cultivation realm, martial skills, and mental state of a cultivator.

The three were complementary. If one wanted to become a powerful cultivator, then one of the three were indispensable.

Once a martial artist's cultivation fell, their state of mind would be damaged and advancing would be extremely difficult. Moreover, their cultivation might be stuck at the semi-sage realm for the rest of their lives.

"No."

This was something that Chen Yao, who desperately needed power, could not accept.

He roared in anger.

In his sea of consciousness, the half good, half evil Buddha statue instantly turned black. Evil energy surged around his body, completely enveloping the statue.

At the same time, Chen Yao's body was enveloped by a thick layer of black fog. Behind him, an illusory yet real evil Buddha form appeared.

The evil Buddha glared at the mysterious semi-sage realm cultivator and placed a hand on the top of the black-robed man's head.

"No."

Almost in an instant, the black-robed man seemed to have encountered something extremely terrifying, and then he screamed out crazily.

"Great Art of Attraction, Devil Buddha Legacy, you actually received the Devil Buddha Legacy."

The black-robed man screamed hysterically.

Ever since the appearance of this evil Buddha, his method of neutralizing Chen Yao's cultivation had lost its effectiveness.

On the contrary, it was his own strength that was constantly disappearing.

Not only the spiritual energy in his body, but also his life force.

He felt that he was rapidly growing old.

And now, his cultivation base was dropping. He had actually fallen from a semi-sage realm to the Emperor Realm.

Peak King's Realm...

Furthermore, he was still falling rapidly, and his vitality was getting weaker and weaker.

At the same time, a tremendous change was happening to Chen Yao's body.

Chen Yao's cultivation soared.

Stage One of the Genuine Force.

Stage Two of the Genuine Force.

"..."

Stage Five of the Genuine Force.

Stage Seven of the Genuine Force.

Stage Nine of the Genuine Force.

"..."

His body was also recovering rapidly. All of his injuries had improved, whether it be internal or external.

He had actually absorbed the mysterious black robed semi-sage's cultivation base to increase his own cultivation level, and had even used his own life force to heal his wounds.

It was an unheard-of terrifying method.

"No."

The black robed half-Saint's cultivation had already fallen to the first level of the King's Realm.

For a semi-sage expert to fall to the first level of the King's Realm was simply unacceptable. The black-robed man felt as if he had gone insane.

However, one's realm was never as important as one's life.

The rapid loss of his life force made the black-robed figure realize that if this continued, he would only be able to die.

Without the slightest hesitation.

"Bam."

The black-robed man viciously slapped towards the top of his head.

Instantly, his head shattered and his brain splattered everywhere.

However, he was able to escape the control of the evil Buddha.

The moment his head exploded, a ball of golden light swiftly flew into the distance, not daring to stop for even a second.

It was his lifeblood soul.

At the Emperor Realm, even if one's arm was broken, it could still be reborn. But at the semi-sage realm, one could form their life's soul. As long as the soul remained, it could recreate the body and be reborn.

But finding a suitable body was extremely difficult, and even rebirth would have extremely serious repercussions.

There was no other way than to give up his physical body and flee for his life's soul.

The mysterious black-clothed man never thought that the situation would escalate to this point. Not only did he not gain the slightest advantage, but his cultivation dropped and he almost died.

"Chen Yao, I will not let you get away with this."

He cursed and disappeared into the distance.

"Thud."

Chen Dazzling's vision went black as he fell to the ground. Not long after, a silver-white shadow flashed from the side. Little Silver had returned.

He carried Chen Yao on his back and quickly fled into the wilderness. Soon, they disappeared as well.

"..."

"Huh?"

Gu Xiaolan slowly opened her eyes. The stabbing pain from her lower body made her dazed and clear-headed.

"Nangong Ming, I'll kill you."

She recalled what Nangong Ming said when she was about to lose consciousness, as well as the state of her body. Naturally, she knew what had happened. Thus, she was unable to contain her anger.

Terrifying energy leaked out of his body.

However, in the next moment, she was stunned.

"I've broken through to the Emperor Realm?"

A look of pleasant surprise crossed her angry face.

With the situation he was in now, it would be like coal in the snow for him as he advanced to the King's Scripture.

But what was going on?

In the next moment, she saw Nangong Ming's body lying in a pool of blood.
