As soon as the Patriarch of the Ancient Path Sect finished speaking, Luo Chen made his move.
After breaking through the formation, he instantly killed the remaining few.
Those men tried to retreat, but it was too late. Luo Chen snatched a sword directly. A cold flash of light flickered like shimmering waves on a rippling lake, and each of them was killed with a single strike to the throat.
The men collapsed instantly, their eyes still holding the disbelief of their final moments.
The Ancient Path Sect Patriarch was instantly filled with towering rage.
“Good, very good. You dare kill my Ancient Path Sect disciples.” The Patriarch swung his wide sleeve. His aura surged violently, shaking the firmament like rolling heavenly thunder, making heaven and earth tremble.
“Hahaha, die, just die.” Shen Junfeng laughed madly. This was a supreme expert. His aura was astonishing, resembling a humanoid tyrannosaurus.
“Kill.”
The Ancient Path Sect Patriarch formed an ancient hand seal with his fingers. It seemed capable of shaking mountains and rivers, even reversing time. The flowing water of a nearby waterfall actually came to a halt.
The pressure was too astonishing, carrying the momentum of shaking mountains and trembling peaks.
Luo Chen did not dodge or evade. He charged straight ahead to meet him.
Shen Junfeng watched Luo Chen with a mocking smile. Daring to clash physically with an NPC here was simply courting death.
Sure enough, the Patriarch entire body began to glow, emitting a layer of golden radiance.
Every pore on his body opened, as if a gate to the immortal realm had been thrown wide, and endless power surged forth.
Even Luo Chen was startled.
“Diamond Glaze Body?” Luo Chen exclaimed in shock.
Upon seeing this scene, he immediately formed a new judgement about this horror game.
This was absolutely not something an ordinary lineage could produce. Clearly, he had underestimated this game.
Because something like the Diamond Glaze Body could at least be traced back to before the Qin Dynasty, perhaps even to the Western Zhou era, a product of the legendary age of the Investiture of the Gods. It made the body indestructible, virtually invincible.
Some also speculated that it was a cultivation method founded by the Fire God Gonggong, passed down through the ages.
With a perfect Diamond Glaze Body, he had supposedly crashed into and toppled Mount Buzhou.
That was a pillar of heaven.
If it could be knocked down, just how terrifyingly powerful was that physical strength?
However, the Patriarch before him clearly had not yet reached that level of power. If it were truly a perfect Diamond Glaze Body, Luo Chen would have turned around and fled immediately.
Given his current strength, if they truly clashed, he might not even be able to withstand a single strike.
Yet even though it was not yet a true Diamond Glaze Body, the pressure was immense. Several large trees nearby instantly snapped and fell in the opposite direction due to the sheer force.
“Clang.”
Sparks flew everywhere, or rather, it exploded like thunder. It was extremely dazzling, as if lightning had just struck, painfully bright to the eyes.
“Humph.” The Patriarch snorted coldly. He did not take Luo Chen seriously and raised his fist to strike again.
This time, his body seemed to draw upon the power of mountains, rivers, and oceans. The force was unstoppable and continuous.
Luo Chen blocked it head-on again, but could not help stepping back one pace to dissipate the force.
This was their very first clash. Luo Chen was at a disadvantage and had actually been forced back a step.
However, this was merely his normal state. He had not yet unleashed the power sealed within the Taihuang Scripture.
Even so, just how formidable were Luo Chen skill and strength?
The fact that he was suddenly shaken back half a step showed exactly how powerful this Diamond Glaze Body was.
“Clang.”
“Clang.”
“Clang.”
The sound of metal clashing was deafening.
The ruined buildings around them suffered devastating blows once again.
Although Luo Chen appeared to be at a disadvantage, those few recent exchanges had not left the Patriarch unscathed either. His blood and qi surged from the vibrations, leaving his entire body in severe discomfort.
Shen Junfeng was completely stunned. He had never expected Luo Chen to be this formidable.
What exactly was going on?
Luo Chen was definitely a novice in the game. How could a novice physically clash with a figure of the Patriarch calibre?
Even ordinary veteran players could not do that.
This was simply beyond belief.
“Humph, you cannot break my defence. I can simply outlast you and wear you to death.” The Patriarch declared arrogantly.
His defensive power was astonishing, virtually impossible to breach.
Yet Luo Chen remained silent, focusing solely on a frantic assault.
“It is useless. Although my Diamond Glaze Body has not yet reached perfection, you really think your meagre strength can shatter it?”
“It is nothing but a foolish fantasy.” The Patriarch snorted.
“Even if I stood here and let you strike me, you would never break through.” The Patriarch said proudly.
“Is that so?” Luo Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
“I will let you take one strike.” The Ancient Path Sect Patriarch stood firmly in place, no longer attempting to dodge.
Luo Chen suddenly threw a punch. Clang.
The Diamond Glaze Body showed absolutely no sign of cracking.
“Hahaha, you fool, you”
“Thud.”
The Diamond Glaze Body itself did not shatter, but the Patriarch inside was completely crushed. He was reduced to a pulpy mess, and the Diamond Glaze Body dissipated along with him.
Without wielding the Taihuang Sword, Luo Chen current strength truly could not break that Diamond Glaze Body.
However, he could use vibrating force to transmit the power inward, shattering the Patriarch inside.
“Sigh, truly foolish.” Luo Chen shook his head.
He had not expected the characters designed for this game to be so naive, actually making such a stupid and fatal mistake.
It was simply ridiculous.
The Ancient Path Sect Patriarch was dead. His death was rather baffling and unclear.
But Luo Chen had no intention of sparing the rest of the Ancient Path Sect.
The massacre began.
Blood was everywhere throughout the entire sect. Dismembered limbs littered the ground.
Clearly, Luo Chen had slaughtered the entire sect.
Since these people were all fake anyway, it did not matter.
Luo Chen then searched everywhere. After a long while, he finally found a jade slip in a certain location.
He first washed it with clean water. Only then did Luo Chen press the jade slip to his forehead, showing a hint of distaste.
Instantly, a massive amount of information automatically flooded into his mind.
This brought Luo Chen a sudden surge of excitement.
The complete cultivation method for the Diamond Glaze Body.
However, this also planted a seed of doubt in his mind.
He was unsure whether the rules of this game truly feared him, or were deliberately luring him in, creating an illusion that they were afraid of him.
After all, if it even contained cultivation methods like the Diamond Glaze Body, the lineage behind this game clearly had a formidable background.
Could this be a secret realm trial created by some immortal holy land?
Shaking his head, Luo Chen currently had little clue.
Finally, Luo Chen walked towards Shen Junfeng.
At this moment, Shen Junfeng was utterly terrified.
The entire Ancient Path Sect had actually been slaughtered.
Who on earth was Luo Chen?
“Still cannot figure it out?” Luo Chen looked at Shen Junfeng mockingly.
“Now, tell me. Which one of us is the ant?” A look of disdain appeared on Luo Chen face.
“Since you cannot understand, I will tell you a secret.” Luo Chen showed a trace of sarcasm.
“Surprised by my strength? That is because in reality, I also possess this level of formidable power.”
