Lan Luo did not say anything much because she was a smart woman. If she acted at this moment, the situation might have changed immediately. Since Xuan Yuan Cang Lan wanted to kill Jiang Chen, she could just save her effort and let him do it.
“Even though there is someone who will take advantage of your perilous state, I’m really worried the moment you fully recover, I won’t be your opponent. Thus, getting rid of the potential threat before it becomes threatening is the best way.”
Xuan Yuan Cang Lan was not like those people who claimed to be extraordinary. Even though he was arrogant and proud, he would still judge the situation logically and sensibly. To him, Jiang Chen was already an extremely frightening individual for being able to kill Xuan Yuanqi and Scarlet Flame The Enlightened. At this moment, however, it would be difficult for the exhausted Jiang Chen to retaliate. Therefore, it was the perfect chance for him to act.
“You are indeed very strong. Your innate talent is also the greatest from what I have seen throughout my entire life. However, you’re too arrogant. In your eyes, no one is your opponent. To me, however, I’ll be satisfied by just becoming stronger and climbing up to a higher position. The Xuan Yuan Clan is my backer. Now that Xuan Yuanqi is already dead. But to me, he is nothing more but a pawn. His death is nothing. He might have unordinary strength, but he is a brainless man.”
Xuan yuan Cang Lang continued speaking. He had already made up his mind to kill Jiang Chen.
“Unfortunately, you won’t have the opportunity to kill me.”
Jiang Chen said coldly. In the next moment, he retreated and allowed his fresh blood to drip on the Killing Platform. Even Lan Luo did not expect that Jiang Chen would willingly give his blood to the Killing Platform. It was similar to seeking his own death.
However, Jiang Chen already planned it. He wanted to explore the Killing Platform and find out what exactly it was. He wanted to know how it devoured Xue Liang. Otherwise, he would definitely regret it until his death!
“Are you trying to kill yourself?”
Lan Luo’s brows were tightly drawn together. Jiang Chen’s actions had filled her with confusion. Could it be that he was just avoiding the humiliation from dying in hands of the opponent whom he had already defeated twice?
“The Killing Platform will devour you completely. You have chosen a path to death.”
Xuan Yuan Cang Lang’s eyes were as calm as a millpond. What Jiang Chen did made him sigh dejectedly. However, Jiang Chen’s death was what he wanted. No matter how Jiang Chen died, as long as he no longer exists, the heart devil in him would vanish completely.
Jiang Chen instantly felt the kind of heat that was within Xue Liang’s body when he was devoured by the Killing Platform. This time, it felt even more real than before. A tremendous amount of suction force made every drop of Jiang Chen’s fresh blood burn. The boiling blood in his veins and the agony of the scorching hot body made his brow furrow. However, the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus was activated and it protected Jiang Chen’s heart meridians at the same time. However, there was nothing he could do to stop his blood from evaporating. The process was relatively miserable.
In the next moment, Jiang Chen felt that his body went out of his own control and was drawn into the Killing Platform…
Jiang Chen’s expression became solemn. The Killing Platform contained an empty space. This discovery filled him with surprise. The Killing Platform was actually a Space Divine Tool that was similar to the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda with vast and boundless blood ponds and mountains surrounding the space. The areas around the blood mountains gave off a faint bloody light. They were burning like flames but at the same time, they looked invisible. It was not just flames that were burning but also the karmic fire within one’s heart.
Jiang Chen felt both fortunate and unpleasant inwardly. If it wasn’t for the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus which protected his heart meridians, it would probably be difficult for him to escape his doom. The Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus had prevented the nameless karmic fire from affecting him. Spirits emerged in the surroundings. However, every one of those spirits was able to strike fear into Jiang Chen as they were all sovereign realm spirits. However, these spirits did not have any consciousness at all. They were just wandering aimlessly within the space of the Killing Platform like lonely ghosts. Even so, they were still extremely terrifying. The spirits would occasionally bump into each other. Every time they collided against each other, countless karmic flames would rise.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen’s eyes widened as he was staring at a single direction. He actually saw Xue Liang in the distance.
At this moment, Xue Liang was sitting cross-legged on top of a stone platform, bathing himself in a pool of blood. The blood pool around kept spurting out. When the bloody light and the karmic flames flowed through him, it looked like it was washing his body and spirit.
“Xue Liang is still alive?”
Jiang Chen squinted his eyes. The space around him was too bizarre and it made him not dare believe it. Everything inside the space seemed to have become extremely ordinary. The feeling of his blood boiling with extreme heat also diminished gradually. However, it did not dissipate completely. Under the protection of the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus, he managed to preserve his life.
Xue Liang’s appearance gave him a huge shock. At the very least, he finally felt a little relieved because Xue Liang was still alive. Even though his qi was weak, it was undeniably him. Besides, seeing him here gave Jiang Chen a pill of reassurance. It meant that the Killing Platform was not as scary as how Bing Yun had described it. However, he still could not release Bing Yun from the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda. Even though Xue Liang and him were not devoured by the Killing Platform, it did not mean that she could also ignore the effect of the Killing Platform.
“How exactly does this Killing Platform work? Why is it so frightening?”
Jiang Chen’s blood was burning and boiling. However, the effect of the Myriad Qi Body allowed him to recover at a similar rate. As time went by, Jiang Chen was considered undefeatable. Now, he had at least evaded Xuan Yuan Cang Lang’s pursuit and discovered the fact that Xue Liang was still alive. Thus, his decision of entering the Killing Platform was still worthwhile.
“With a body bathed in blood, the devil will be infinite!”
Xue Liang was muttering to himself. Suddenly, his eyes opened. They were bloodshot and burning hot. The whites and the pupils of his eyes were completely stained with the color of blood. Even Jiang Chen felt that the person he saw was not Xue Liang but an incredibly frightening devil lord.
“How did this happen? Is it possible that Xue Liang was enchanted by the devil?”
Jiang Chen took a step forward but Xue Liang’s qi rose abruptly. Even though it had broken through the Mid Hierarch realm, his power was still rising. At the same time, the area around him also started burning with blood-red devil qi. The mist that evaporated into the air was constantly absorbed by Xue Liang. His eyes also turned more and more ferociously red and were fuelled with bloodthirsty battle intent and killing intent.
“This Killing Platform is too terrifying. It has actually devoured his willpower. Once a person loses his willpower, they will then become puppets.”
Jiang Chen frowned. Xue Liang’s condition might seem tranquil and calm but he was like a bomb that could explode anytime as he seemed to be still absorbing the power within the Killing Platform.
“I must not let him be enchanted by the devil.”
With a stern expression, Jiang Chen decided to stop Xue Liang. At this moment, the sovereign realm spirits were entirely freed. However, what Jiang Chen never expected was that those spirits, without any consciousness, had actually started to rush toward him frantically.
Jiang Chen’s sovereign realm spirit made Xue Liang’s eyes twitch slightly. His blood-red pupils were staring fixedly at him, as if he was eyeing at his prey.
“Goddamn it. Why are those sovereign realm spirits charging at me?”
Jiang Chen cursed inwardly. However, the moment he activated his sovereign realm spirit, he was already completely surrounded by Xue Liang and the spirits.
