Chapter 1075 The Boundless Sea Region
They knew Chen Yang was already formidable before breaking through to the Foundation Establishment True Person realm.
But after the breakthrough... to be able to display such immense power was simply too much!
This soft armor, which could block a powerful strike from a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, could not even withstand a single palm from Chen Yang.
Chen Yang's eyebrows twitched, and he cursed internally.
Just now, he was wondering why the fused power of the Heavenly Witch and Star Constellation cultivation techniques had only consumed two tenths of his spiritual energy, and yet there seemed to be no effect?
So it turned out this fellow had used soft armor?
However, Chen Yang still maintained an indifferent expression. After putting away the soft armor, he said calmly, "I'll need to study it thoroughly after taking it back, and strive to mass-produce it."
As he said this, Chen Yang's gaze fell upon the ancient martial artist from the Buddhist sect.
This person was a master craftsman!
The Buddhist sect's ancient martial artist immediately sensed Chen Yang's gaze but could only shake his head helplessly, "Amitabha, it seems this old monk cannot escape this calamity!"
Wu Min also immediately understood Chen Yang's intention and smiled at the Buddhist sect's ancient martial artist, saying, "We few naturally don't need such things, but Chen Yang and the others may have to stay here for a while longer. Having a protective artifact is very important."
The Buddhist sect's ancient martial artist nodded, "I naturally understand this, but the materials will need to be carefully sought."
With that, Wu Min brought one of the still-breathing individuals from the Human Realm before everyone.
Wu Min said coldly, "I'm sparing your pathetic life out of consideration for your arduous cultivation. Reaching the seventh level of Foundation Establishment True Person is already remarkable."
"If you want to live, tell us everything you know!"
The captured individual was the strongest among them. He had originally thought that with his strength, it would be a simple matter to subdue these newly-broken-through Foundation Establishment cultivators, but he never expected to be capsized in a gutter.
"What do you want to know? I'll tell you!"
Under Chen Yang and the others' questioning, they learned the location of this ancient battlefield within the Human Realm.
The Boundless Sea Region!
And the closest city to them was Demon Bone City, belonging to the Demon Capital.
As for the reason they were jointly pursued, Chen Yang had also understood.
"It seems the one who directly shattered the spatial passage earlier was the City Lord of Demon Bone City!" Everyone agreed with Chen Yang's guess.
Aside from the City Lord, the strongest individuals in Demon Bone City were only at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Although the late stage of Foundation Establishment was formidable, shattering a spatial passage from afar was highly unlikely.
A thought flashed through Chen Yang's mind, and he asked with a grave expression, "Why didn't the City Lord of Demon Bone City personally come to pursue us?"
The Human Realm individual being questioned glanced at Chen Yang and said in a low voice, "Because the City Lord of Demon Bone City has already led a large contingent away from Demon Bone City. I heard that the Demon Capital is at war with other factions."
"Otherwise, these matters wouldn't have required us."
At this moment, Wu Min suddenly roared, "Be careful!"
The next second, before Chen Yang could react, the severely injured Human Realm Foundation Establishment cultivator suddenly exploded, turning into a mass of blood qi and lunging towards Chen Yang.
Chen Yang's expression darkened, and he did not dodge, allowing the blood qi to rush into his body.
Chen Yang intended to suppress it with the power of his internal furnace, but he was astonished to discover that this was merely a diversionary tactic.
This fellow was trying to escape using a遁法 (Dùn fǎ - Evasion Technique)!
"Seeking death!"
Chen Yang immediately spread his vast mental power outwards.
Although the opponent was at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment True Person, he had already consumed most of his spiritual energy in the previous exchange.
He wouldn't be able to escape far!
The Human Realm Foundation Establishment cultivator who had just escaped did not stop after using his evasion technique, but prepared to forcibly use it again. Even if it greatly depleted his lifespan, it was still better than dying here.
But just as he was about to use the evasion technique again, a familiar figure had already appeared before him.
It was Chen Yang!
Chen Yang knew that he absolutely could not let this person escape back, otherwise, the remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators in Demon Bone City would surely react, and even the City Lord of Demon Bone City would receive the news.
At that time, it wouldn't be impossible for them to return.
Chen Yang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and chuckled, "If I had let you escape any further, I might not have found you."
"Since you wish to die so badly, I shall grant your wish!"
As he spoke, Chen Yang's hand fell upon the opponent's head.
The Refinement Technique was fully unleashed!
The Foundation Establishment True Person from Demon Bone City's expression changed drastically as he felt the changes in his body. This person was going to refine him!
Such a cultivation technique was considered a top-tier evil art, even in the Human Realm!
"You! How could you..."
But before he could finish, Chen Yang had completely extinguished his mental energy.
If this seventh-level Foundation Establishment True Person had not been injured, Chen Yang might not have resolved him so quickly. But this fellow had consumed all his spiritual energy and used an evasion technique, leaving his body at its weakest.
By the time Wu Min and the others returned, Chen Yang had already extracted a significant amount of memories.
Looking at the shriveled Foundation Establishment True Person in Chen Yang's hand, Wu Min's heart trembled for some unknown reason.
Wu Min felt that his previous understanding of Chen Yang seemed too superficial.
Chen Yang was indeed a healer, and also a very loyal person.
But when facing true enemies, Chen Yang showed no mercy.
There wasn't even a trace of the Foundation Establishment True Person's mental energy or soul left.
This showed the ruthlessness of Chen Yang's methods.
After extracting a portion of the memories, Chen Yang immediately said, "The Great Elder of the Sword Sect, Cang Jian, and the Senior Brother from the Daoist sect are still alive. These people were not here to hunt us, but to hunt the Great Elder of the Sword Sect and the others!"
At the same time, Chen Yang also learned that the Great Elder of the Sword Sect and the others had launched a surprise attack on Demon Bone City.
After he told everyone this, even the ancient martial artists like Wu Min gasped in disbelief.
They had already learned from the deceased Demon Bone City Foundation Establishment cultivator that although Demon Bone City only had a Fusion Core realm City Lord, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators was immense!
The Great Elder of the Sword Sect and the others, who had only recently entered the Foundation Establishment realm, dared to attack Demon Bone City?
How much courage and audacity did that require?
A glint appeared in Chen Yang's eyes, "Although Demon Bone City has many Foundation Establishment cultivators, the Great Elder of the Sword Sect and the others did not confront them head-on. They fled whenever they encountered a large force!"
"After the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Demon Bone City reacted, they began searching outside the city, and these were only a portion of them."
"The Great Elder of the Sword Sect and the others should now be on the outskirts of the ancient battlefield!"
