Chapter 536: Chapter 233: Chen Xuan Breaks Through to Grotto Heaven

He walked up to a woman with a pretty face.

His eyes seemed to burn with golden flames as he stared at the woman’s face. "You bear me ill will?" he asked.

"No... I don’t..."

The woman’s heart jumped, and she hastily tried to defend herself.

SLICE!

The bone sword swept out, slicing the body in two.

"It’s useless. You can’t hide it from me!"

Chen Xuan’s tone was cold, his White Bone Sword dripping with blood. "I have a particular skill," he said. "I can sense the malice in people’s hearts. No matter how well you fake it, it’s useless!"

[...Retribution Points +100,000!]

SLICE!

The White Bone Sword swung, killing another person.

[...Retribution Points +100,000!]

The others were horrified, and they scrambled to suppress every trace of malice and hatred.

’What the fuck, this guy’s a monster!’

’He can even sense our malice!’

’What kind of ability is that?’

"Friend, I don’t have any ill will! I swear I don’t!"

"Me neither!"

"Let’s talk this through! We can talk this through!"

The crowd clamored in panic.

"Stay on your knees. All of you."

Chen Xuan looked at them, then walked back over to the Blood God Son. "And you?" he asked. "Have you submitted? Do you admit you were wrong?"

"I was wrong! Give me a chance! Spare me, please spare me..."

The Blood God Son screamed in agony.

The Five Thunders lightning and the Unwarranted Heart Fire continued to bombard him.

They ravaged his body, causing him excruciating pain.

’A wise man knows when to yield.’

’So many people had already kneeled; there was no point in him holding out.’

[A powerful being from the depths of darkness has had their spirit broken. Exceptional gratification. Retribution Points +200,000!]

"So you know you’re wrong now? If you know you’re wrong, then fucking fix your behavior! Don’t go around trying to sit on people with that huge ass of yours. What’s the deal? You some kind of sow demon, so you think you have to show off how massive your rear is?"

Chen Xuan’s voice was cold.

He recalled the Five Thunders and the Unwarranted Heart Fire, then glanced again at his retribution points. His eyes glinted, and his heart pounded with excitement.

’Excellent!’

’This trip wasn’t a waste!’

’This just about makes up for the ones who escaped from the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons and Sai family Village!’

Retribution Points: 6,896,200

’With this haul, I can definitely reach the Grotto Heaven Realm!’

’This is incredible!’

Suddenly, his gaze shifted toward the golden hall up ahead.

"Alliance Leader, City Lord Feng, shall we go have a look inside?"

Chen Xuan’s eyes flashed as he looked at the two men.

"Alright. But what about them?"

Chu Shanhe glanced at the crowd.

"Don’t worry. They’ve all been marked by my Unwarranted Heart Fire. They can’t escape. If any of them dare to run, I can detonate the fire in their hearts at any moment, making them wish for death before turning them to ash!"

A smile touched Chen Xuan’s lips as his eyes swept over the crowd. "If you don’t believe me," he said, "feel free to give it a try!"

"We wouldn’t dare, we wouldn’t dare! We absolutely won’t run!"

"That’s right! You can rest assured, we won’t run!"

The crowd hastily agreed.

They didn’t even dare to curse him in their minds, leaving them with nothing but profound, stifled resentment.

’Who the hell is this guy?’

’Being able to sense malice is one thing...’

’But he can plant a curse on us, too!’

Many were secretly suspicious. They discreetly circulated their Elemental Power, trying to sense if the so-called Unwarranted Heart Fire was actually inside their bodies.

But even after circulating their dark Elemental Power a few times, they found nothing out of the ordinary.

But this only made them more nervous.

’Who would dare to take that risk?’

’If they were wrong, it would mean certain death for all of them.’

"Let’s go. We’ll check it out inside!"

Chen Xuan’s eyes glinted, and he shot toward the golden hall.

WHOOSH!

The trio charged through the golden curtain of light and pressed onward.

At last, they entered the golden hall.

The hall’s interior was not particularly large.

The space was a little over ten meters wide. The walls, floor, and ceiling all shimmered with a faint golden light, as if cast from solid gold. Countless runes were etched into the walls and floor.

Mysterious and unfathomable.

Each rune contained infinite profound truths.

"So we just need to comprehend them?"

Chu Shanhe looked skeptically at Feng Wuji.

"I believe so."

Feng Wuji nodded.

’He had never been here either.’

’But judging from what the others were doing, it seemed they were all observing and comprehending the runes here, trying to trigger a resonance with the ancient hall.’

"Chen Xuan, we need to be careful. It seems very few of the people who came in here before met a good end. If we get injured by a backlash from the ancient hall, those people outside will undoubtedly take advantage of our weakness."

Feng Wuji said gravely.

"Don’t worry, I know."

Chen Xuan replied.

’He had the Innate Tyrant Body. Even if he did get injured, he could recover quickly.’

In the end, the three of them began to carefully examine the runes on the walls and ceiling.

「Outside.」

A crowd of creatures knelt on the ground.

Their eyes glinted as they stared intently toward the golden hall.

They desperately hoped to see Chen Xuan and the others get seriously injured and thrown out by the hall.

’It would be best if the backlash killed Chen Xuan outright.’

’But even if it didn’t kill him, seeing him get seriously injured would be a good thing for all of them.’

"How long do you think he can last?"

"Who knows!"

"What if he actually obtains the inheritance of the Venerable Divine Hall?"

"Bullshit! It’s not that easy to get."

"Exactly. No one has comprehended anything from this Venerable Divine Hall for years. You think someone’s going to do it now?"

"People have comprehended things from it before, but only bits and pieces. Nothing systematic."

"Let’s just wait and see. He’ll probably get seriously injured by the backlash. When that happens, we’ll all attack him at once!"

"Right!"

The crowd’s expressions turned vicious.

’So what if you’re strong? So what if you’re powerful?’

’Everyone stumbles eventually.’

’When you take your fall, don’t blame us for being merciless!’

"A mere peasant from the shallow dark dares to treat us this way. He’s courting death!"

Someone sneered.

...

「Inside the golden hall.」

Chen Xuan had observed everything once but had gained nothing. His brow twitched as an idea suddenly came to him.

’Retribution Points, capture the core essence of this ancient golden hall!’

He recited the command silently in his mind.

’These Retribution Points could even capture the skeleton of a Primordial Giant Demon.’
