Chapter 355: Obliteration
"Ji ji ji!"
The object made of black stone screamed fiercely. Its two lantern-sized pupils stared fixedly at Qin Jue without any emotion. It looked as if it wanted to tear Qin Jue apart.
"What powerful spirit energy fluctuations!"
In the distance, the leading fifth realm Great Void Stage cultivators could not help but exclaim.
Although the black stone did not have any vitality, its body contained extremely powerful spirit energy. No wonder it could instantly kill a sixth realm Great Void Stage expert.
On the other hand, besides Qin Jue"s perfect appearance and extraordinary temperament, there was almost nothing special about him. He seemed so insignificant in front of the black stone.
But at this moment, the black stone was restricted by Qin Jue from afar and couldn"t move. It could only be controlled by Qin Jue"s will, forming a strong contrast with its strength.
"What is this thing?"
Qin Jue sized up the black stone, rather puzzled.
Whether it was the white clouds or this black stone, they were clearly not living beings. Then… what were they?
"Yeah?"
As if sensing something, Qin Jue raised his eyebrows slightly. His eyes instantly turned golden, directly piercing through the outer appearance of the black stone and seeing the scene inside. It was a dense array formation and runes!
This soil-controlling black stone with a cultivation that was not inferior to the tenth realm of the Great Void Stage was actually a "weapon" refined using array formations and runes!
These array formations and runes faintly emitted a spirit thought that connected to the ball of light in Qin Jue"s hand.
That"s right, it was the so-called core power that was controlling the white clouds and the black stone!
It was just that the core power never expected that the white clouds and the black stone would be easily crushed by Qin Jue without any ability to resist.
"I"m willing to accept you."
At this moment, the cold voice of the central energy suddenly sounded from within the ball of light.
After witnessing Qin Jue instantly kill the white clouds and control the black stone, the core power finally chose to submit. After all, it didn"t want to be killed.
"If it were just now, I would have agreed. But now… I"ve changed my mind." Qin Jue said expressionlessly.
"What… do you mean?"
The core power finally realized that something was wrong.
"It means you have to die."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Jue"s palm suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light that instantly wrapped around the core power!
"W-what are you doing? Stop!"
"I"m willing to accept you. Don"t kill me!"
"No!"
Sensing that the golden light was quickly corroding its consciousness, the core power shook violently, trying to break free from Qin Jue"s control. However, even the black stone couldn"t succeed, let alone it.
"No… no, please."
The core power begged bitterly, but Qin Jue acted as if he didn"t hear it and continued to control the golden light to corrode its consciousness.
This core power was not like Killing Dao. It was willing to follow Qin Jue but it would never be loyal.
It was more like a time bomb. This could be seen from how it had used the white clouds and black stone to attract Qin Jue just now.
Of course, Qin Jue couldn"t arrange a time bomb around him. That would be too dangerous for the others.
Soon, the golden light completely seeped into the ball of light, and the will of the core power disappeared.
After doing this, Qin Jue"s fingers moved slightly, and the ball of light immediately fused with him.
Buzz!
In an instant, the entire small world shook. Countless abnormal phenomena appeared again and constantly changed around Qin Jue, as if even heaven and earth were prostrating at his feet!
At the same time, wherever Qin Jue looked, nothing could be hidden, including the living beings hidden in the corners of the small world.
It was no exaggeration to say that even without using his own strength, the current Qin Jue was still an invincible existence in the small world.
Many cultivators had long been unable to withstand it. They knelt down like subjects and prostrated themselves before Qin Jue. Such a scene could be said to be magnificent!
"It"s already done?"
Qin Jue blinked in confusion. Didn"t they say that controlling a small world would give his master a stream of spirit energy? Why didn"t he feel anything?
Could it be that the spirit energy was too weak for him?
"Congratulations, Master!"
Killing Dao flew over from the side and cupped her fists.
"Congratulations, Brother Qin."
s.h.i.+ Tian chimed in.
Because Qin Jue"s pressure deliberately avoided the two of them, they weren"t affected. Otherwise, with s.h.i.+ Tian"s Supreme Stage strength, he would have already vomited blood and fainted.
"Yeah."
Qin Jue nodded, retracted his aura, and looked at the many cultivators in the distance. "You can all leave."
Those cultivators had long been frightened to the point of splitting their liver and gallbladder. When they heard this, how could they dare to stay any longer? After saying "Thank you, Senior, for saving our lives", they hurriedly stood up and flew towards the exit.
Because Qin Jue had already become the master of the small world, the stone wall that sealed the exit was also opened. Many cultivators quickly filed out and disappeared.
As for heavenly treasures, at this point in time, who would still dare to compete for them? They might be willing to risk their lives for cultivation resources, but it did not mean that they wanted to court death.
Especially the strength Qin Jue had displayed just now, it had almost far surpa.s.sed their understanding!
"Master, how should we deal with this thing?"
Killing Dao pointed at the black stone and asked.
Hearing this, Qin Jue waved his hand and removed the shackles, directly throwing the uncontrollable black stone to the ground. "Don"t worry about it. I"ve already erased the consciousness of the core power. This is just a tool."
Without the control of the core power, the black stone couldn"t circulate at all. Now that Qin Jue had grasped the central power, the black stone naturally became Qin Jue"s "doll". As long as Qin Jue was willing, he could control the black stone to fight for him at any time, just like the core power had just done.
"Alright, let"s go back."
After dealing with the matter here, Qin Jue turned around and returned to the palace.
However, the originally exquisite and gorgeous palace had already turned into ruins at this moment. There were crisscrossed cracks everywhere, and there was still dense spirit energy in the air. Clearly, it had just experienced a huge battle.
Chen Tianming was still frozen in place, unable to move, but miraculously, he was not injured.
Thump!
With a loud bang, the creature with two horns that neither looked like a horse nor an ox suddenly fell from the sky and lost its vitality.
"Hu, Hu, I finally killed this beast."
A moment later, a man in golden armor landed beside Chen Tianming. His aura was dispirited, and there were even several claw marks on his armor that were dripping with blood. It was unbearable to look at.
"I didn"t expect this fiend beast to be so powerful."
Another man in silver armor added. His armor was also covered in blood, and his face was as pale as paper.
It was the Gold and Silver Protectors who had arrived in time and saved Chen Tianming.
In fact, if it weren"t for the sake of protecting Chen Tianming, the two of them wouldn"t have fought a fiend beast of the same realm to such an extent.
"Are your injuries alright?"
Chen Tianming was incomparably touched. If not for the fact that the Gold and Silver Protectors were willing to sacrifice their lives to help him block the fiend beast"s attack, he would have died long ago.
"Hahaha, I"m fine." The Gold Protector said indifferently.
"Hehe, this small injury is nothing."
The Silver Protector waved his hand. "We better figure out a way to get out of here."
