Chapter 1127 Cannot Save You
Inside the mind of Venerable Wangyou, the scene just now replayed repeatedly. A bronze-colored object, it seemed to have suddenly appeared behind Chen Yang.
He hadn't directly struck Chen Yang, but had been blocked by that bronze-colored object.
"What exactly was that thing just now?"
Venerable Wangyou's voice was as cold as the abyss. This fellow possessed powerful treasures!
It could withstand his full might, a strike from the seventh layer of the Core Formation realm, and not only was it undamaged, it even reflected some of the power back.
This treasure!
It absolutely should not have been something this person could possess.
After spitting, Chen Yang sneered, "You want it? Then here you go!"
Venerable Wangyou was stunned. He hadn't expected the other party to agree so readily.
However, before Venerable Wangyou could understand the reason, the bronze cauldron suddenly appeared.
And it flew towards Venerable Wangyou!
"Let's see if you can catch it!"
Chen Yang channeled all his spiritual power into the bronze cauldron. The entire cauldron, like a massive cannonball, directly smashed into Venerable Wangyou.
"Boom!"
After a loud explosion, a pool of bloody mist remained in the sky.
The distance was too short; Venerable Wangyou had no time to react at all before his entire body was smashed into a large crater.
However, such injuries did not directly cause Venerable Wangyou's death.
As his spiritual power rapidly repaired his internal injuries, Venerable Wangyou opened his mouth and felt intense pain throughout his body.
He hadn't felt such pain for a long, long time!
A treasure! If he possessed this treasure!
Even facing someone at the peak of Core Formation, Venerable Wangyou felt he would have a certain chance of victory.
Venerable Wangyou extended a hand and forcibly mended his caved-in bones with spiritual power, then grinned sinisterly, "This bronze cauldron is not something you are worthy of possessing!"
As he spoke, Venerable Wangyou directly unleashed his inner core.
This was the origin of a Core Formation realm cultivator, his most powerful life-bound artifact.
However, if anything happened to his inner core, it would result in difficult-to-heal injuries at best, and death at worst.
To obtain the treasure in Chen Yang's hand completely, Venerable Wangyou decided to risk it all!
The fact that Chen Yang had used so much energy to keep the ship undamaged in the waves, even with the aid of pills, meant that the previous strike had completely depleted the spiritual power restored by the pills.
With his already meager spiritual power exhausted, it would likely not be so easy for Chen Yang to repel Venerable Wangyou again!
Chen Yang wanted to take pills to recover his spiritual power.
But how could Venerable Wangyou give Chen Yang such an opportunity?
Before Chen Yang could take his pills, Venerable Wangyou's inner core arrived.
Even Chen Yang couldn't deploy the Celestial Movement Secret Art in time.
At this critical juncture, three people suddenly appeared and shielded Chen Yang from the blow.
The immense impact directly sent Chen Yang and the three blocking individuals flying back.
Chen Yang seized this opportunity to take pills, recovering some spiritual power before looking at the three who had helped him.
One of them was Qin Yunlan.
The other two, without needing introduction, were undoubtedly human cultivators in the Core Formation realm.
Venerable Wangyou paid no mind to the sudden appearance of the three individuals.
Among them, Chen Yang was the strongest.
The remaining three were even weaker than Chen Yang!
"Your Monster Suppression Division not only destroyed my black market but also intends to save humans. When I present your head to the Demon Capital Prefecture, I will demand an explanation."
Venerable Wangyou's eyes were bloodshot. Although his inner core was undamaged, that strike had indeed consumed his origin.
That single strike had reduced his lifespan by at least several years. KanD.
Core Formation Venerables did not possess infinite lifespans.
Although ordinary Core Formation Venerables had thousands of years of usable lifespan, most of them spent their time in cultivation and seclusion to improve themselves.
Venerable Wangyou was no exception. It was only with the aid of the black market that his cultivation progressed faster than others, and he indeed had more time.
But this did not mean Venerable Wangyou did not cherish his lifespan.
He had witnessed Core Formation Venerables turn into dust.
Everyone had their own original intention for cultivation. Venerable Wangyou's cultivation was precisely to avoid such a fate for himself. Therefore, on the contrary, Venerable Wangyou was extremely protective of his lifespan!
Now, to snatch the treasure from Chen Yang, he was willing to damage his lifespan, which showed how much he valued it.
Chen Yang knew exactly what Venerable Wangyou was after. He took out all his recovery pills and began stuffing them into his mouth, determined to fight.
And he held a top-grade spirit stone in his hand.
"Too much talk is pointless. Try me!"
Chen Yang took two steps and arrived in front of Qin Yunlan. The three who had been struck by the inner core were all severely injured.
After all, even Chen Yang, who was protected by them, was injured, so it was needless to say how serious their injuries were.
"You three get on the ship!"
Although Qin Yunlan still wanted to stay and help Chen Yang.
But after being injured by Venerable Wangyou's inner core just now, Qin Yunlan could even feel cracks appearing all over her inner core.
She needed to stabilize her inner core; any further use of spiritual power might shatter it.
The other two elders beside her were likely suffering similar injuries.
Venerable Wangyou watched the three depart without any expression.
Venerable Wangyou's target had always been only one person: Chen Yang!
"Do you think that by taking a few recovery pills and restoring your spiritual power, you can fight me?" Venerable Wangyou's expression darkened. The inner core, enveloped in spiritual power, shot out abruptly, and his figure swiftly followed.
"Even that treasure cannot save you today!"
Venerable Wangyou had anticipated Chen Yang using the bronze cauldron to contend with his inner core, and he had already devised a countermeasure.
He would use brute force to suppress the bronze cauldron. Even if he could only suppress it for a few seconds, his inner core would be able to crush Chen Yang into powder.
Seeing Venerable Wangyou's actions, Chen Yang directly swallowed the top-grade spirit stone he had prepared.
A chaotic and violent reaction erupted within Chen Yang.
The immense spiritual power surged through various parts of Chen Yang's body.
Previously, Chen Yang had almost shattered his body by consuming a top-grade spirit stone.
His injuries were not light this time, and Chen Yang needed the bronze cauldron to protect his meridians. This time, however, he did not deploy the bronze cauldron.
"Fire Body!"
Chen Yang's lips moved lightly. A ball of flame first appeared on his forehead and then, in an instant, spread across his entire being.
Wrapped in flames, Chen Yang felt no pain; instead, he felt his entire body strengthened.
However, this was not the end. Chen Yang stomped his foot, and the world seemed to reverse its starlight!
