In Purple Sun Valley, the three from Azure Vine received news and, while chatting and laughing, prepared to eliminate Fang Chen with ease. It seemed that they were merely waiting for Fang Chen to burst out of the small grove, which was only about ten miles away from Purple Sun Valley.
In their view, even though Fang Chen and his companion were powerful, facing so many martial artists working together would make it nearly impossible for them to escape without suffering significant losses. At that point, they would be able to effortlessly capture both of them while waiting in Purple Sun Valley.
However, the situation unfolding in that grove had long surpassed everyone's expectations. Even Fang Chen himself could hardly believe how things had escalated.
The sounds of battle, furious shouts, maniacal laughter, and desperate wails echoed through the small grove. A thick, almost suffocating smell of blood surrounded Fang Chen.
Looking around at the ongoing attacks among the crowd and the grotesque corpses sprawled on the ground, Lian Yiyue's face turned pale.
"What terrifying power! What kind of magical artifact is this?" she murmured, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over the Underworld Evil Eye in front of Fang Chen, which pulsed with a blood-red glow and emitted an eerie aura. The horror in her eyes deepened.
Unless one witnessed nearly a hundred Body Refinement Realm Ninth Layer martial artists engaged in a frenzied battle, it was impossible to comprehend the shock Lian Yiyue felt at that moment.
Indeed, most of the bodies lying on the ground were not slain by her or Fang Chen but were victims of mutual slaughter among themselves.
Those who had been lured by Azure Vine's temptation to capture Lian Yiyue had not even managed to do so before turning on each other. They fought fiercely even with Lian Yiyue right beside them, as if they were in a lawless land.
The answer was certainly no. Lian Yiyue understood that everything happening before her was due to the mysterious bead in Fang Chen's hand, which glowed with a blood-red light as if it were absorbing the blood energy floating in the air.
Rewinding time half an hour earlier, she and Fang Chen had been rushing towards Purple Sun Valley after hearing news. Due to the recent upheaval in Purple Sun Mountain Range, most Hunters had gathered near the only passageway, leaving very few wandering elsewhere. Along the way, Fang Chen and Lian Yiyue hadn't encountered anyone at all.
It was only when they approached Purple Sun Valley and entered that small grove that they encountered a few seemingly ordinary young martial artists. Shortly after entering the grove, they were surrounded by a large group of people.
Initially just a dozen or so, then dozens more joined until nearly a hundred people flooded into the grove. The number grew so large that even Fang Chen had no choice but to flee frantically with Lian Yiyue. The pursuit of nearly a hundred people after them was something even Azure Vine and his companions had not anticipated. Yet this shocking scene was indeed unfolding dramatically within that grove.
Although none among these nearly hundred individuals could match Lian Yiyue at her peak—many were far weaker than him—killing any one of them was not difficult. However, eliminating them all was impossible. There were simply too many; even if each person threw a punch, their combined force would be enough to completely annihilate both him and Lian Yiyue. Moreover, Lian Yiyue's soul was shattered, making it impossible for her to endure a prolonged battle.
Fang Chen and Lian Yiyue wanted to escape, but in order to obtain those two coveted spots under Song Donglai's protection, they could not simply flee from those who represented their only hope of reaching Ziyang Sect.
What would happen when nearly a hundred people desperately tried to corner two individuals? In the past, Fang Chen might have found it hard to imagine such a scenario; this time he experienced that madness firsthand. Even after he exerted himself to kill over ten people, he was still firmly blocked by others. The bloodshed only fueled their rage further, making their attacks increasingly ruthless and treacherous.
If it were just Fang Chen alone, he might have had a chance to escape. However, with the injured Lian Yiyue by his side, they could only be dragged helplessly in the small grove. As a result of Fang Chen's strength and difficulty in dealing with the situation, the main target of the crowd gradually shifted to Lian Yiyue. They often took advantage of Fang Chen's inability to free his hands and suddenly attacked Lian Yiyue, attempting to capture her away from Fang Chen.
During this process, Lian Yiyue, who was already suffering from a damaged soul and weakened body, sustained more and more injuries. Seeing the situation worsening, Fang Chen could no longer afford to worry about quickly depleting his Power of Creation. He unleashed both the Azure Ancient Lamp and Underworld Evil Eye, two powerful trump cards.
In the wake of Fang Chen's sudden outburst, many people fell completely under the Destruction Light and Lavender Flame. However, they soon faced an even stronger backlash, and even Fang Chen himself suffered significant injuries.
At this critical moment, after releasing a Destruction Light, the Underworld Evil Eye, which had not been used much until then, suddenly emitted a strange aura on its own.
What happened next was something Fang Chen had not anticipated. Under the shroud of this eerie aura, the crowd that had been frantically attacking them suddenly seemed to lose their minds and began attacking each other instead. It was as if Fang Chen and Lian Yiyue were overlooked amidst the chaos.
"The Underworld Evil Eye can actually release such a degree of Heart Demon power on its own." Looking at the Underworld Evil Eye floating before him, surrounded by swirling blood light and exuding an inexplicable aura, Fang Chen's pupils constricted slightly.
This Underworld Evil Eye was personally refined by a Nirvana Realm expert using one of their own eyeballs as raw material. It could not simply be a container for storing True Soul or just something that released a few Destruction Lights.
The Heart Demon power was also an extremely formidable ability. It could invisibly influence or even control the minds of others; that was the power of Heart Demon. Previously in Fengyan City with the Fang Family, Fang Chen had secretly used this Heart Demon power on Azure Vine, causing her to lose composure in front of Grandma Ji.
At that time, Fang Chen's Heart Demon power was very weak; he could only slightly guide and amplify Azure Vine's negative emotions. It was impossible for him to confuse her mind or control her actions.
Now, however, this Underworld Evil Eye had autonomously released such immense Heart Demon power that enveloped the entire grove, causing nearly a hundred martial artists to turn on each other. In just a short moment, more than half had already died. While this resolved the immediate crisis for Fang Chen and Lian Yiyue, it did not bring him any joy.
He would not forget that within the Underworld Evil Eye still resided a strand of True Soul from a Nirvana Realm expert. That was truly life-threatening. This sudden mutation seemed likely to be caused by that strand of True Soul acting up. He realized that the blood-red light swirling on the surface of the Underworld Evil Eye was actually drawn from the blood essence of those fallen martial artists!
"He is using this to recover," Fang Chen speculated quietly.
How long had this strand of True Soul from a Nirvana Realm expert existed within the Underworld Evil Eye? What condition was it in?
Fang Chen had no idea about any of this. Although he had already recognized ownership of the Underworld Evil Eye with his current strength, he could not detect that strand of True Soul within it at all. However, there was no doubt that previously in the Black Water Sect's secret chamber, his Power of Creation had undergone a sudden mutation that had severely injured that strand of True Soul.
What would happen once this strand of True Soul fully recovered? Would it possess him? Fang Chen could not know for sure, but he had to take precautions; every day he could delay would be beneficial. After all, a wounded True Soul from a Nirvana Realm expert would be far more dangerous than one that was intact. Moreover, giving Fang Chen more time would allow him to regain his former strength or even surpass it; at that point, it would be uncertain who would fear whom.
However, at this moment, even if Fang Chen wanted to stop it, he lacked the ability to make the Underworld Evil Eye before him cease its actions. He discovered that his connection with the Underworld Evil Eye had been severed at this instant.
"Die! Just die!"
"Looking for death! Kill!"
...
The sounds of shouting and killing continued around them, as figures that had lost their sanity raged like demons. The first batch of nearly a hundred warriors who had entered the small forest were almost all dead by now, and those who were now fighting each other were some later arrivals.
Although the small forest was filled with a strong smell of blood and the sounds of frenzy echoed throughout, which hinted at something strange, many warriors, drawn by the two coveted spots, attempted to cautiously approach the small forest to investigate.
However, under the influence of the bizarre Heart Demon power, these individuals lost their sanity almost immediately upon getting close to the small forest, before they even truly entered it. Then, under the control of the True Soul within the Underworld Evil Eye, they began to slaughter each other inside the small forest.
The strange phenomenon resulting from all this was that no warrior who entered the small forest ever reappeared, while the sounds of killing within continued unabated. The smell of blood in the air grew increasingly intense. From a distance, a faint mist of blood had already begun to rise above the small forest!
All of this gradually filled some meticulous warriors with dread as they gazed at the small forest shrouded in blood mist, overwhelmed by a deep sense of fear.
What exactly was happening in there?!
