Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1150 - 1149: Peril

"I didn’t expect, brat, that you’re actually hiding such a powerful ancient will in your body."After being forced back by a single shout from the Human Emperor, a trace of shock appeared on the face of the white‑clothed woman as well. That shout was simply too vicious, mixed with a pressure she could not resist at all. If not for her extremely solid foundation, she would probably have had her soul scattered on the spot by the Human Emperor’s roar.

Fortunately, this was only a will incarnate. If the master of this will incarnate truly descended, who knew how terrifying that strength would be.

In this era, there absolutely shouldn’t be anyone with that kind of power.

"You flatter me. I also didn’t expect that Your Excellency would be the famed Mingyue Heavenly Demon."

Ling Chen calmed the fluctuations in his heart and said faintly.

"Those skeletons outside are most likely all the intruders who died at your hands, right?"

Ling Chen cast a glance at the piles of chilling bones in the great hall, then withdrew his gaze, his eyes flickering slightly, and said, "But what puzzles me is, why did you kill them instead of having them help you destroy the Array Formation?"

"If they were capable of that, how would I still be trapped here for three hundred years? This Array Formation gathers the strength of the Profound Heaven Old Daoist and the Empty Void Bald Donkey. It’s not something just anyone can break."

A trace of coldness surfaced in the white‑clothed woman’s eyes. "Breaking the formation requires a certain level of strength. Among those intruders, those who possessed that level of strength were extremely few. Even if there were any, they were all like you—timid and shrinking back, unwilling to act—so I killed them all."

"I see."

Ling Chen nodded, a look of sudden realization on his face. "So you killed them and absorbed all their Cultivation and Essence Blood."

Although this white‑clothed woman still had a primordial bead sustaining her life, for her to possess such powerful strength now was not something a primordial bead alone could achieve. It was precisely by absorbing the Vital Energy and Cultivation of those warriors that she could remain trapped here for three hundred years and still have the power to kill the warriors who entered.

"If we borrowed the power of this Array Formation, is there any hope of suppressing this demon?"

Ling Chen asked the Human Emperor in a low voice.

"With your current strength, it will be very difficult." The Human Emperor shook his head.

"Then let this demon live a few more days for now."

This Mingyue Heavenly Demon living in the world was undoubtedly a great calamity.

However, since Ling Chen himself had no ability to resolve this Mingyue Heavenly Demon, he naturally wouldn’t force his way forward. He could only hand this task over to the Spiritual Heart Saint and the others.

If this Array Formation were operated by powerhouses on the level of the Spiritual Heart Saint and the Seven Elders, even if they couldn’t kill the Mingyue Heavenly Demon, they should at least be able to reinforce the seal and completely suppress her.

"Demon, I’ll be accepting your Dragon Soul Pearl. Just think of it as compensation for deceiving me."

Ling Chen picked up the Dragon Soul Pearl in his hand, waved it toward the white‑clothed woman, and then said with a smile.

However, the white‑clothed woman’s expression didn’t change. Instead, a particularly bizarre smile suddenly surfaced on her face. "Brat, did you really think that this seat’s Dragon Soul Pearl would be so easy to take?"

Hearing this, Ling Chen’s pupils abruptly shrank. The Dragon Soul Pearl in his hand suddenly began to tremble for no reason. His gaze fell on the Dragon Soul Pearl, only to see a pale human face suddenly emerge on its surface—precisely the face of that white‑clothed woman. It was as if she had imprinted her features onto the Dragon Soul Pearl. The next instant, that face suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a beam of black Energy.

The Energy beam blasted onto Ling Chen’s body, sending him flying as he coughed up blood.

"Die!"

The white‑clothed woman laughed wildly. From within the Dragon Soul Pearl, black light surged out again, transforming into a terrifying Black Dragon that swept toward Ling Chen with unstoppable ferocity!

The aura emitted by the Black Dragon was extremely frightening. Even a Saint would likely be directly obliterated by it, let alone Ling Chen.

At the critical moment, Ling Chen activated the power of the Divine Dragon Jade, condensing a Divine Dragon Blood Array before him. Blood‑colored light spread out, forming an Array Formation that sealed off the space in front.

Boom!

The Black Dragon slammed heavily into the Divine Dragon Blood Array, yet it failed to break through. The Divine Dragon Jade flashed non‑stop, blood‑colored Energy surging out from within it and condensing into a Blood Dragon that rapidly writhed across the surface of the Divine Dragon Blood Array.

Although the Black Dragon’s aura was violent, its offensive was being dismantled bit by bit before the Divine Dragon Blood Array. Instead, under the Blood Dragon’s counterattack, it gradually fell into disadvantage.

Seeing her method blocked, a hint of shock appeared in the white‑clothed woman’s eyes. She clearly hadn’t expected Ling Chen to have a protective Treasure like the Divine Dragon Jade on him.

"Perish!"

Ling Chen shouted, and the Divine Dragon Blood Array suddenly opened a gap, forcibly swallowing that Black Dragon whole.

Crack!

The Black Dragon’s head was bitten off on the spot and then collapsed, vanishing without a trace.

Although the Dragon Soul Pearl was a Treasure refined from the Dragon Soul of the Azure Water Demon Dragon, the Divine Dragon Jade was a Treasure nurtured within an Ancient Divine Dragon’s body. The two were not on the same level at all.

"What?"

An expression of disbelief appeared on the white‑clothed woman’s face. With the methods she had set inside the Dragon Soul Pearl, even if Ling Chen’s Cultivation had reached Saint level, he should still have been instantly killed by her.

What she absolutely hadn’t expected was that, in the end, the Black Dragon she condensed would instead be destroyed by Ling Chen.

The power released by that piece of jade on this brat’s body was actually stronger than the Dragon Soul Pearl?

As the Black Dragon collapsed, the light of that Dragon Soul Pearl swiftly dimmed and it fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Ling Chen exhaled a heavy breath of relief. After withdrawing the Divine Dragon Blood Array, he finally felt the intense pain coming from his internal organs.

That impact from the Black Dragon just now had inflicted quite a serious internal injury on him.

He had almost had his internal organs blasted to pieces.

If the Divine Dragon Blood Array hadn’t blocked the vast majority of the force, he would have been undoubtedly dead from that strike just now.

"This demon’s methods are bizarre. Leave this place at once, and don’t get entangled with her."

The Human Emperor reminded him.

If Ling Chen hadn’t reacted quickly just now, he would likely already have fallen victim to that white‑clothed woman’s Poison. Even the Human Emperor hadn’t had time to help. Fortunately, there was this ancient wondrous Treasure, the Divine Dragon Jade. Otherwise, Ling Chen would have died without a doubt.

Ling Chen nodded, not hesitating in the slightest. After picking up that Dragon Soul Pearl, he immediately turned and shot toward the outside of the great hall.

This Female demon was not someone easy to provoke—at least not someone he, as he was now, could afford to provoke.

This matter would most likely require the help of the Spiritual Heart Saint and the Seven Elders.

With that thought, Ling Chen sped up again, darting over the piles of white bones and shooting out of the great hall.
