Chapter 552: Chapter 235: Annihilating a Grotto Heaven Powerhouse! Terrifying a Dharma Aspect Expert

"Little Brother Chen, let’s talk this through. There’s no need to get angry..."

KRAK!

BOOM!

The sword came down, unleashing an explosion of light and a deafening roar.

Its power was almost unimaginable.

The black altar could no longer withstand the force and practically exploded on the spot.

Chen Xuan’s power had surged, now more than seven or eight times stronger than before.

The terrifying sword strike didn’t just shatter the black altar. Wreathed in an incomparably dazzling light, it descended ruthlessly upon Venerable Di Xin’s neck. Amidst Venerable Di Xin’s horrified screams, it severed his massive dragon head on the spot.

SPLURT!

Viscous blood, brimming with potent life force, gushed from his neck in an instant.

It sprayed densely across the sky, scattering the darkness.

Everyone looked on in horror.

A terrifying draconic might radiated outward, causing nearly everyone to tremble and fall to their knees.

He slew a dragon!

Today, they had actually witnessed someone slay a dragon!

Venerable Di Xin’s face was a mask of terror. Even after his head was severed, his body continued to glow. Terrifying True Essence gathered at his neck as he desperately tried to control the gushing blood, attempting to reverse its flow and reattach his head.

But how could Chen Xuan allow him to reconnect it?

The moment after he severed the head,

Chen Xuan’s White Bone Sword vibrated violently. A surge of malevolent energy, lightning, and fire erupted from it, frantically tearing through the body to obliterate all its life force.

"Ahhh!"

Venerable Di Xin let out a series of agonized roars, screaming in terror, "Little Brother, spare my life! I’m willing to submit to you!"

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

Lightning and fire ravaged his body.

In a matter of moments, all his life force was destroyed.

[You have killed a Cave Heaven Realm expert from the dark depths. Retribution is exceptional. Retribution Points +450,000!]

A line of text appeared.

"Submit to me?"

Chen Xuan smiled. "I think I’ll pass. I much prefer you dead. Hahahaha..."

His voice echoed, shaking the heavens and the earth, a thunderous, deafening roar.

His crazed, terrifying demeanor horrified everyone present.

Nearly everyone in the Grotto Heaven was completely stunned.

Just then, Chu Shanhe finally rushed over from a distance, his face filled with shock as he stared at Chen Xuan.

’He’s dead?’

’A Cave Heaven Realm expert... dead just like that?’

’This is completely heaven-defying!’

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he never would have believed it.

In a nearby building,

Zhu Jiuyou, the Valley Master of Heaven-Burning Valley, and the Flawless Great Saint Body Red Lotus beside him were also horrified, their minds reeling.

This was especially true for Red Lotus.

She was in a daze.

It felt as if her entire world had been turned upside down.

Before, she had believed that she could rely on her supreme talent to continuously absorb the fortune of others.

And with that, she could quickly surpass him.

She would close the distance between herself and Chen Xuan.

But now, she felt that the distance hadn’t just failed to shrink—it was growing wider and wider...

’Is he even human?’

For the first time, she felt a profound sense of confusion.

For the first time, she began to doubt her own aptitude.

Her heart even began to waver.

Her once-unparalleled Dao heart was now riddled with cracks. It felt as though Chen Xuan had become an insurmountable peak she could never hope to conquer in her lifetime.

No one could possibly know the immense pressure Red Lotus was under at that moment.

"Shrink!"

Chen Xuan brought his hands together and let out a low shout.

His entire body, which had been in its Heaven and Earth form, rapidly contracted.

Amidst a roil of golden light, he returned to his normal size in the blink of an eye.

"Venerable Di Xin, your two disciples are still running rampant in my Martial Alliance. For all I know, they’re on a killing spree right now. You want me to spare you? Tell me, how could I possibly spare you?"

Chen Xuan’s tone was cold. "I’m about to take your head to your two disciples. Let’s see if they can remain as calm as they were before."

He raised a hand and put away the golden Divine Hall.

Then, he stored Venerable Di Xin’s headless corpse directly into his Grotto Heaven.

Carrying Venerable Di Xin’s head, he immediately sped toward the Martial Alliance.

"Alliance Leader, let’s go!"

His voice echoed in Chu Shanhe’s ears.

Without hesitation, Chu Shanhe immediately followed.

All of Grotto Heaven City erupted in a deafening uproar.

Long after Chen Xuan and the others had left, tales of his deeds continued to circulate throughout Grotto Heaven City.

Everyone was utterly aghast.

It felt as if the sky had fallen.

The various mountain and cavern lords, however, accepted it rather quickly.

They had followed Chen Xuan into battle in the shallow darkness before and had personally witnessed his strength, which was like a meat grinder on the battlefield.

But the others had never seen it.

How could they have possibly imagined that Chen Xuan had become so powerful?

Especially that terrifyingly colossal form, which seemed to prop up the heavens themselves.

A single breath seemed powerful enough to overturn all of Grotto Heaven City.

Without a doubt, Chen Xuan had become a true legend in Grotto Heaven City, one destined to be remembered for countless years to come.

...

「At this very moment.」

Inside the Martial Alliance.

On the massive plaza.

The elders and disciples were all kneeling, a dense, dark mass of people.

At the very front was Old Deng.

His hair was disheveled, and the swelling on his face was even more pronounced, the handprints deeper than before.

Clearly, he had slapped himself again not long ago.

"Seniors, we truly don’t know anything about a world secret! We’ve never even heard of it! How about this? Please, stop the killing. I’ll slap myself a few more times. I beg you to show mercy!"

Old Deng blurted out, then began viciously slapping his own cheeks with both hands, back and forth.

SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP...

The crisp sounds echoed as blood splattered and the skin on his face trembled.

"Hahaha..."

Demon Owl burst into laughter. Dressed in a long, white robe, he sat on a seat at the front of the plaza. He then slammed his foot onto Old Deng’s face, pinning him to the ground beneath his sole.
