C10 Kill the Chicken to Warn the Monkeys

After absorbing the life essence of the guards, his cultivation base had risen from the Mid Third Sky of the Body Tempering to the peak of the Third Sky.

And the life essence within these Martial Cultivator at Soul Refining Stage corpses had become even richer.

If he could devour and absorb them, he would definitely break through the shackles of the Body Tempering and step into the First Layer of Soul Refining Stage.

If he had the First Layer of Soul Refining Stage cultivation base and the perfect level of his Profound Qi, as well as his own innate abilities, he would have the confidence to kill even the City Lord who possessed the cultivation at Great Perfection of Soul Refining Stage.

With an idea in his mind, Shi Xuan immediately casted the Black Hole Martial Soul and used the Nirvana Devouring Scripture to help him absorb the Profound Qi.

The cultivation base of these old men was a whole realm higher than his, and the life essence contained in their corpses was incomparably majestic.

When all the life essence was devoured, Shi Xuan's body swelled up like a balloon, as if it would explode at any moment.

The amount of life essence he absorbed just now was too little, and he could still easily refine it.

However, the amount he had devoured this time was too much, and he had to meditate to suppress and devour it with all his might.

Otherwise, with such a huge amount of life essence, if he wasn't careful, he would be in danger of exploding and dying.

Time was of the essence. Shi Xuan immediately entered a secret chamber in the dungeon. He took out the Chaos Heaven Devouring Cauldron and entered the space inside the cauldron to cultivate.

The city lord would soon find him, so he had to make the best use of his time.

Time passed, and soon, fifteen minutes had passed.

Under the continuous refinement of a large amount of life essence, Shi Xuan's Qi was growing steadily, and he was gradually breaking through the bottleneck between the Body Tempering and Soul Refining Stage.

Although there was only a slight gap between the peak of the Third Sky of the Body Tempering and First Layer of Soul Refining Stage, the difference was like heaven and earth.

Furthermore, the energy required to break through to the Soul Refining Stage was also incomparably huge.

If it wasn't for the powerful divine ability from his previous life and the perfect level of his Profound Qi, Shi Xuan would never have been able to kill so many Martial Cultivator at Soul Refining Stage.

"Little bastard, get the hell out here!"

Just as his cultivation base was about to break through, an angry shout came from the outside world, and a terrifying aura suddenly descended.

"Pop!"

At the same time, an extremely subtle sound came from Shi Xuan's Dantian.

His Qi began to rise steadily, and his cultivation base had already broken through to the First Layer of Soul Refining Stage.

"He came really fast this time!"

Shi Xuan murmured. He couldn't be bothered to experience the power of a Soul Refining Stage. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and his body instantly appeared in the secret chamber. After storing the Chaos Heaven Devouring Cauldron into the Divine Palace, he quickly walked out of the dungeon.

More than a dozen martial artists appeared in his line of sight.

The leader of these martial artists was a handsome middle-aged man who wore a long white robe and had a gloomy temperament.

From the memories of his previous self, Shi Xuan found out that this middle-aged man was the Wind Thunder City Lord, Gongsun Zhi, who possessed the cultivation at Great Perfection of Soul Refining Stage.

Next to Gongsun Zhi, he saw the old man who had just escaped.

As for the other warriors who had followed Gongsun Zhi here, they were all between the Third Sky of the First Layer of Soul Refining Stage.

After glancing around those warriors, Shi Xuan finally fixed his eyes on Gongsun Zhi and said with a smile, "City Lord Gongsun, may I know why you are looking for me?"

"Little bastard, stop pretending! How dare you kill the people of City Lord's Mansion? I will definitely skin you alive if I catch you later. You are better off dead than alive!"

Gongsun Zhi said mercilessly.

After saying this, he looked at Shi Xuan from head to toe and said with a sinister smile.

"Kid, a few years ago, when you awakened the crippled Martial Soul, all of your meridians were broken, and you became an ordinary person."

"But today, you have displayed such formidable strength. Furthermore, that crippled Martial Soul of yours has also unleashed a terrifying power. Looks like you have quite a few secrets hidden within your body! "

At the end of his words, a greedy look appeared in Gongsun Zhi's eyes.

If he could obtain this young man's secrets, his strength would probably increase by another level.

When he thought of these aspects, Gongsun Zhi's eyes became more and more fiery.

"I have a secret on me. Do you want to know what it is?"

Shi Xuan stared at Gongsun Zhi calmly, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Gongsun Zhi didn't say anything. His eyes were staring at him. Obviously, he wanted to know what his secret was.

"You really want to know? But I won't tell you!"

The smile on Shi Xuan's face gradually changed and became full of playfulness.

As his voice fell, Gongsun Zhi's face suddenly became gloomy.

"Kid, it doesn't matter if you don't say it. After I capture you and search your soul, your secret will naturally be exposed!"

Gongsun Zhi clenched his fists so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard. The killing intent in his voice was extremely strong.

"You want to kill me? You Soul Refining Stage ants are not worthy!"

Shi Xuan waved his sleeve and unleashed his First Layer of Soul Refining Stage aura. He stared at the group of people in front of him with disdain.

"Soul Refining Stage?! How is this possible? "

As Shi Xuan revealed his Qi, the old man who had escaped screamed in disbelief. He then turned to Gongsun Zhi and said:

"City Lord, before I left, I remember that this kid was only at the Third Sky of Body Tempering."

"What?"

As soon as the old man said this, the expressions of everyone present changed.

"Stinking brat, in such a short period of time, your strength has changed so quickly. Looks like there really is something strange about your body!"

Gongsun Zhi's eyes became even more fiery as he said coldly, "I know that your combat strength is very strong. A Soul Refining Stage warrior can't do anything to you. But since I dare to kill you, do you think I don't have anything to rely on? "

As soon as his voice faded, he no longer concealed it and unleashed all the cultivation aura in his body.

"Mm? First Layer of Soul Controlling Stage? "

Sensing the strength of Gongsun Zhi's Qi, Shi Xuan's pupils slightly shrunk, and his face became unprecedentedly solemn.

The first major realm in the path of martial arts was the Body Tempering.

Above the Body Tempering was the Soul Refining.

Above the Soul Refining Stage was the Soul Controlling.

The higher a warrior's cultivation base, the greater the gap.

For example, the gap between the Soul Refining Stage and Soul Controlling Stage was like a heavenly chasm.

With Shi Xuan's First Layer of Soul Refining Stage strength and his perfect level of Profound Qi, he could kill Great Perfection of Soul Refining Stage warriors with the divine ability he knew in his previous life.

However, he was absolutely not a match for Soul Controlling Stage warriors.

"Stinking brat, just surrender and give up your pointless resistance. I can still let you die a quick death. If not, you will wish you were dead! "

A smile of victory appeared on Gongsun Zhi's face. Together with more than ten elders, he slowly approached Shi Xuan.

He stood still and stared coldly at these guys. Shi Xuan's expression kept changing.

Even with his current condition, he was still no match for a single Gongsun Zhi.

Adding these Soul Refining Stage old men, he was in an even more dangerous situation.

He forced himself to calm down and start thinking of countermeasures.

In his past life, as the strongest expert in Buried God Continent, he possessed countless secret treasures and cultivated numerous Saint and Divine level divine abilities.

However, those divine abilities had to be backed up by a great cultivation base before they could be used.

However, although he was unable to use any powerful divine abilities, the supreme treasure, the Chaos Heaven Devouring Cauldron, had also been reborn with him.

Now, he had no choice but to use that supreme treasure!

In just an instant, thousands of thoughts flashed through Shi Xuan's mind.

All this time, the reason why he didn't use the Chaos Heaven Devouring Cauldron was because he couldn't use his Profound Qi to control the supreme treasure. He had to use his Divine Power.

He had just reincarnated. Where did his Divine Power come from?

Although he didn't have any Divine Power, the Power of Divine Soul could be used in place of Divine Power.

However, after his reincarnation, his divine soul had become weak, so he didn't dare to use the Power of Divine Soul.

Fortunately, when he had just broken through to the Soul Refining Stage, that weak divine soul had slightly increased his soul power and stabilized.

If Gongsun Zhi wanted to kill him, he would definitely die if he didn't put his life on the line. He had no other choice.

"Come out!"

He made up his mind and immediately summoned the Chaos Heaven Devouring Cauldron.

Under the infusion of the Power of Divine Soul, the cauldron floated in the void, emitting a dazzling divine light.

At this moment, a violent wind blew. Dark clouds gathered, and electric snakes swam in the clouds. Loud explosions were heard, as if the end of the world had arrived.

"What's going on?"

Gongsun Zhi and the others were about to surround Shi Xuan. When they saw this strange scene, their expressions changed drastically.

An extremely terrifying aura spread out from the Chaos Heaven Devouring Cauldron, covering Gongsun Zhi and the others within.

Sensing this aura, the shadow of death grew in their hearts.

"Gongsun Zhi, since you are courting death, I will grant your wish!

At this moment, Shi Xuan's expression was cold. He looked up at the lightning that was swimming in the sky and shouted, "With my soul, summon the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning to help me defeat the enemy. Kill them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed his finger at the Third Layer of Soul Refining Stage old man who had escaped at the beginning.

The reason why he regarded this old man as his primary target was because Shi Xuan wasn't confident that he could kill Gongsun Zhi with just one lightning strike.

The more lightning he summoned, the more Power of Divine Soul he would consume, and the higher the chances of his soul being destroyed.

Summoning a lightning bolt to kill a person, killing the chicken to warn the monkeys, intimidating Gongsun Zhi and the others, and scaring them away was Shi Xuan's true goal.

In reality, whether this method could work or not, Shi Xuan didn't know.

However, at this point, he had no other choice.

If these people didn't take this lying down, they could only die together with him.

When he summoned the lightning, a ruthless and resolute look flashed across Shi Xuan's eyes.

"Kacha!"

A loud explosion was heard from the sky. An arm-thick lightning bolt suddenly descended and struck the head of the old man that Shi Xuan was pointing at.

After that, dense lightning snakes spread all over his body.

In just an instant, the old man was reduced to ashes. He didn't even have the time to scream.

This strange scene caused the scalps of everyone, including Gongsun Zhi, to go numb. Their souls almost left their bodies. They were so scared that their guts were about to explode.

"There's something strange about this kid. Run!"

The shadow of death enveloped his heart, and Gongsun Zhi didn't dare stay any longer. He pushed his speed to the limit and fled into the distance.

As for the other guest chamberlains and elders of City Lord's Mansion, they also exerted all their strength and fled into the distance.

They hated their parents for giving birth to two legs and running so slowly.

With Shi Xuan's remaining Power of Divine Soul after his rebirth, if he controlled the Chaos Heaven Devouring Cauldron, he would be able to kill these enemies who were fleeing for their lives.

However, if he did that, he would have to pay the price of losing his soul.

He had already achieved his goal of scaring these people away.

Watching Gongsun Zhi and the others gradually leave, Shi Xuan let out a light breath. The rock in his heart, which had been tensed up, had finally been lifted.

The crisis had finally been resolved. A rare smile appeared on his handsome face.
