His unnervingly powerful aura alone was enough to make them freeze right where they stood. The elders began to wonder just what kind of monster was Lu Xuan.
The aura around Lu Xuan had gotten so thick that it became visible liquid, choking those who were caught in it.
Lu Xuan attacked immediately afterward. He dished out a slap in the form of a huge hand conjured out of qi, whacking the elders away.
The elders shrieked in terror instantly as their bodies were reduced to a bloody mist.
The beings at the ninth tier of the Divine Transformation Realm were unable to withstand even a single hit from Lu Xuan.
That single slap alone shredded several of them to bits.
It was only then that Lu Xuan’s terrifying ferocity began to bare its fangs.
Beings at the ninth tier of the Divine Treasure Realm and sheer numbers meant nothing to Lu Xuan.
“If you people insist on delivering your heads on silver platters, I might as well kill you all first.”
Lu Xuan’s expression steeled as a tinge of frightening murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
At that moment, he charged into the midst of the elders of the Taichu Path.
Lu Xuan dished out yet another slap. The few elders who were unable to dodge in time were quickly reduced to a misty rain of flesh and blood by that huge hand conjured out of qi.
Despite them all being very renowned people in the Blessed Enclave as notable elders, their renown still meant nothing to Lu Xuan. It was only a difference between clapping down one or multiple people with one slap.
Countless fighters at the mountains below witnessed what happened and gasped.
That was the most terrifying slaughter that they had ever witnessed.
Rather, none of them had ever expected to see a slaughter to be done at such unbelievable levels.
The resulting flower of his aura meant that he was able to easily conjure torrents with simple slaps.
Those who were about to fight him had no choice but to keep backing away, not daring to advance. The resulting shockwaves alone were capable of injuring them.
That was what terrified them the most.
Many felt themselves stiffen, rendered completely still from the frightening scenes playing out before them.
The fighters from the Taichu Path or forces affiliated to the Taichu Path who were ganging up on Lu Xuan were all stunned. They all had been very renowned cultivators in their own right.
Even then, Lu Xuan killed them all as if they were nobody significant. They were all reduced to mere weeds.
“No need to fear. He won’t be able to stay in this state for long. He’ll die from depleting their reserves very soon.”
At that moment, a middle-aged man flew away high in the sky. Terrifying Spiritual Aether raged from within him while his jet-black hair billowed, making him look like a terrifying god of war.
Those from the Taichu Path who were utterly frightened from the sight were immediately brought back to their senses by the middle-aged man’s words.
It was true that someone who conjured the Auric Flower was very terrifying, as someone who had gathered and condensed their auras alone would’ve been able to use their powers to the fullest.
On the other hand, someone who had conjured the Auric Flower was able to bring out 200 percent of their usual power.
However, doing so came with one significant oversight; the drain simply far exceeded regeneration. This was because both a person’s aura and their rate of regeneration was limited.
Having such an insane rate of depletion was practically suicide.
While Lu Xuan was unbelievably ferocious right now, it was hard to tell just how long he could stay in such a state.
“He won’t be able to hold on for long indeed.”
“He would be dead meat by the time his aura reserves were fully depleted.”
“Come on, let’s go kill him!”
At that moment, the elders of the Taichu Path felt very invigorated. As long as they could hold the line until Lu Xuan’s reserves were completely depleted, they still stood a chance.
While doing so would have resulted in a massive number of casualties, they had no other choice. They couldn’t afford to back off. If anything were to happen to Yan Han, their grand ancestor would probably be meting out punishments against them.
“Wait until my reserves are depleted, eh?” Lu Xuan smirked, noting the cleverness of their plan in a manner of speaking.
Having conjured the Auric Flower meant that every strike he dished out packed frightening amounts of force. At the same time, however, the drain was several times that of what was considered normal.
Anyone else would have probably died once their aura reserves were fully depleted.
Conjuring the Auric Flower was considered a last resort instead of mere means of attack; with their training, they were far from capable of doing the latter. They were only cultivators at the Divine Treasure Realm or halfway into Divine Transformation Realm. Even if they were to break through into the Divine Transformation Realm, they still would not have been able to do so.
However, that was not a problem for Lu Xuan.
Yan Han may have possessed a special constitution, but Lu Xuan’s Born Taoism Aptitude was ranked higher than the Holy Body of the Sun. That meant that his reserves, powers, and rate of regeneration were 10 times that of his peers at the same level as him.
Waiting for him to drain out seemed like a sound plan.
Unfortunately, they needed more people to do so.
The number of fighters needed to be around 10 times what was available before they were capable of seeing him being drained to death.
However, that also meant that they needed just about every single fighter at such levels gathered and pitted against him before that was even deemed possible.
Lu Xuan made his moves before long, heading straight for that middle-aged man who looked like a god of war.
That man then shouted, “The Taichu Chant!”
Boundless light burst from that middle-aged man right away. He was also halfway into Divine Transformation Realm; he was unable to afford to run.
Lu Xuan had locked his will on that man, which meant that the latter had no choice but to go all out.
The middle-aged man’s aura was cranked to its limit. He brought his saber down onto Lu Xuan right away.
That top-tier power item shook the skies, its glitter shrouding the heavens.
The might from a fighter halfway into the Divine Transformation Realm was unmistakable.
Clang!
The blade came down on a fist that was the size of a mill.
Pfftt!
Blood spilled from the man’s mouth right away as a terrifying force pierced his body. All the defensive barriers, armors, and talismans he had on him crumbled right away.
That one punch from Lu Xuan was simply too powerful.
All that was strong and resilient would eventually crumble before its power.
That notion in martial arts manifested as Lu Xuan’s fist connected with its target. The control Lu Xuan gained after conjuring the Auric Flower had at least doubled.
His powers were already unmatched at his current level. Now, he had become even more terrifying.
That man finally learned just how an elder halfway into the Divine Transformation Realm lost to Lu Xuan before that.
He overwhelmed everyone through sheer, undeniable power alone.
That feeling was akin to a sampan being thrown into the raging waves.
People like them stood no chance at all.
Boom!
All of the muscles in his body began to crumble. That one punch had literally shattered his bones.
All of his internal organs were rattled until they disintegrated.
All of that was done with only a single punch.
A cultivator halfway into the Divine Transformation Realm, who was of extreme levels of power, was unable to take even a single hit from Lu Xuan.
He was gravely injured right away, ending up in a ditch.
However, he did not stay in that state for long; Lu Xuan delivered a slap at him right away.
That elder of the Taichu Path was clapped down, his body immediately being disintegrated into a rain of bloody mist.
Yet another fighter halfway into the Divine Transformation Realm being put down like a dog.
