Chapter 2742 - 557: Chaos Erupts
Moreover, some Cultivators were lucky enough to end up together with others of their own race, and they naturally began to attack Cultivators of other races.
In an instant, the entire world was plunged into complete chaos.
Within the howling Tornado, Spell after Spell kept shooting out.
Right now, the Cultivators simply couldn’t move freely; all they could do was use Spells to blast apart the Spells falling down on them, or use Treasures to block.
Those Cultivators with higher Cultivation Base had already been struggling just to deal with those Wind Blades; now they even had to face attacks from other Cultivators. How could they possibly block them?
In just a short moment, one Cultivator after another died.
Cao Zhen, however, didn’t attack those Cultivators. As long as other Cultivators didn’t provoke Him, He naturally couldn’t be bothered to provoke them.
And with that vast Immortal Mountain behind Him, the Immortal Palace upon it, and the aura He radiated, no Cultivator was dumb enough to go looking for trouble by actively provoking Him.
Of course, while He didn’t pick fights with other Cultivators, anything that flew His way, He would still take.
"Bang!"
With a muffled boom like a Great Stone shattering, a scarecrow-like Cultivator suddenly exploded, but no blood splashed out. Instead, pieces of straw flew in all directions around Him, and at the same time, a Heaven and Earth Ring flew past not far in front of Him.
Cao Zhen reached out and grabbed at the Void. At once, a powerful suction force surged from His hand, snatching that scarecrow Cultivator’s Heaven and Earth Ring into His palm.
Not far away, a Cultivator who looked almost exactly like a human sphere—no legs in sight, even His eyes and mouth grew in the middle of His body so you couldn’t tell where His head was or where His tail was—had finally managed to kill a Cultivator. He had just been about to collect the opponent’s Heaven and Earth Ring when another Cultivator suddenly struck, taking the Heaven and Earth Ring first.
At once, His body seemed to swell a size larger out of anger, but the moment He saw clearly the face of the Cultivator who had snatched the Heaven and Earth Ring, He immediately turned His head away.
That guy...
Wasn’t this that terrifying fellow?
A few days ago, He had personally witnessed this Cultivator unleashing a strike that practically surpassed True Immortal Realm power. That strike had required the combined defense of five Half-step Golden Immortal Cultivators to block.
With such a terrifying existence taking His spoils, what could He possibly say? He could only consider Himself unlucky.
Although Cao Zhen didn’t go around killing other Cultivators, He would directly take any Heaven and Earth Rings He could snatch from dead Cultivators.
Those Cultivators were already dead; naturally, the Heaven and Earth Rings belonged to whoever had the bigger fist.
Very soon, His actions aroused the anger of many Cultivators around Him who were also flying in the same direction.
Among them, a Cultivator who looked almost like a sphere but whose entire body was covered in tentacles—although not yet a Half-step Golden Immortal, He had already completed the Transfiguration of Immortal Palace—suddenly shouted loudly.
"Everyone, we work so hard to kill these Cultivators, and in the end He comes in and picks up all the bargains. Are you all really willing to accept this?
His strength may be great, but there are so many of us. Are we really inferior to Him alone? You all saw how many Heaven and Earth Rings He has already taken. Let’s strike together, kill Him, and then split His Heaven and Earth Rings among us."
He had clearly already been sending secret voice transmissions to the nearby Cultivators.
His words were more like a signal to attack. As soon as His voice fell, over a dozen Cultivators around them attacked simultaneously, blasting toward Cao Zhen.
In an instant, the Void filled with razor-sharp Wind Blades, ruthless Sword Qi, freezing cold air, terrifying lightning—one Spell after another all roaring toward Cao Zhen.
There were even two Cultivators closest to Cao Zhen who directly swung the Sharp Swords in their hands, stabbing at Him.
"I didn’t want to indulge in too much slaughter, but you insist on delivering your lives to Me."
Cao Zhen let out a helpless sigh. The Purple Dawn Sword appeared in His hand, and He swung a single sword toward the Cultivator before Him.
In a flash, a hundred identical Xu Ying of Cao Zhen appeared in the Void.
The Cultivator facing Him only saw a flash of violet light before a hundred Sword Shadows fell.
Each of those hundred Sword Shadows seemed different; every stroke contained a strand of Sword Intent. Yet those hundred swords converged together, merging into a single slash.
With one sword descending, all the razor-sharp Wind Blades falling around Him were instantly pierced apart, and the Void itself abruptly split open.
He didn’t even see clearly how that sword fell before the Sharp Sword had already pierced through His body.
S–so fast!
His eyes bulged wide, as if He wanted to say something, but not a single sound left His mouth before His life came to an end.
Cao Zhen casually took the opponent’s Heaven and Earth Ring. As He looked at the falling attacks, the Immortal Mountain behind Him opened the doors of its many Immortal Palaces, and Spell after Spell suddenly surged out.
In fact, in this kind of battle, the higher a Cultivator’s level, the greater the advantage.
Moreover, the power of a group brawl was greatly weakened.
Because there were those Wind Blades everywhere.
Every Cultivator attacking Him also had to block the Wind Blades. He too had to block the Wind Blades, but He was only one person, whereas every single opponent had to defend themselves. Invisible to the eye, their overall strength was being diminished.
And the Spells they unleashed were likewise being attacked by the Wind Blades.
His Spells were also attacked by the Wind Blades, but His Spells carried far greater might.
For example, when their Spells were attacked by the Wind Blades, their power might be cut in half. But His Spells might only lose a quarter, or even just a fifth of their strength.
With that, His advantage became tremendous.
Besides, among the Cultivators attacking Him, the strongest was only a single Half-step Golden Immortal.
In merely a few short breaths, all the Cultivators attacking Him around the area, including that Half-step Golden Immortal, were dead.
Cao Zhen waved His hand, collecting all those Heaven and Earth Rings.
All around, Cultivators stared with eyes wide, and even some of the stronger Cultivators who had originally planned to attack others halted their hands, staring in terror at that black-haired, black-eyed Cultivator.
So many Cultivators had died in the blink of an eye.
And among them was even a Half-step Golden Immortal!
That was the very pinnacle of True Immortal Realm, yet in front of Him it looked no different from an ordinary True Immortal.
Was—was this really a Cultivator of True Immortal Realm?
This guy... He’s not going to attack them, is He?
