Chapter 428: Hunting
Unless they are completely in desperate situation, very few cultivators would choose to self-destruct.

Because what is lost in the self-destruction is all the origin and soul, including all the clones!
In other words, generally speaking, as long as there is a clone and the clone is in a relatively safe state, no one will choose to self-destruct directly.

For example, the True Dragon Yuanxian who was killed by Chai Xin was extremely powerful. If he forced himself to explode at the last moment, no one could stop him.

Even though Chai Xin's strength was much higher than his opponent's at that time, he was unable to stop him from self-destructing.

Moreover, the power of anyone's self-detonation is far greater than their normal combat power, and can even be more than twice as high. If Chai Xin were to resist the self-detonation of Zhenlong Yuanxian, he might be seriously injured.

Of course, this is referring to Chai Xin at that time.

Although only a dozen minutes have passed, Chai Xin's strength has increased again, more than twice as strong as before.

Even if a true dragon immortal really exploded in front of him, it would not be able to cause any harm to him.

As for the self-explosion of these guys on the field, it posed no threat to him at all.

Even if twenty or thirty powerful Yuanxian warriors in the field collectively self-destructed, it would only be a minor injury to him at most and would not be dangerous.

However, for other Yuanxian powerful warriors, this is a terrifying method that is enough to threaten their lives!
"Be careful, retreat quickly!"

"Damn it, I underestimated this guy. He actually dared to self-destruct!"

"He's got me, help!"

The originally one-sided situation suddenly became chaotic. Many people fighting around, both friends and enemies, were frightened and temporarily stopped fighting and tried their best to evacuate.

As for the two guys who were entangled by the man who blew himself up, they were so scared that they were almost scared to death. They no longer had their previous might and arrogance, and could not help but open their mouths and shout for help.

But in this situation, everyone just hates their parents for not giving them two more legs. Who has the time to care about their life or death?
Chai Xin raised his eyebrows slightly. Not only was he calm inside, he even felt that the opportunity had come.

"You evil creature, you are still trying to commit atrocities before you die!"

He immediately let out a roar in mock grief and indignation, his face flushed red, and the Xuanhuang Seal in his palm seemed to be activated to its extreme, bursting out with dazzling light.

"Boy, are you crazy? Why are you still entangled with me? Why don't you run away?"

The Yuanxian strongman who was fighting with him found to his horror that although the boy in front of him seemed panicked and angry, he actually had no intention of retreating.

On the contrary, the strength in his hands suddenly increased by more than ten times, which made him tremble!
"Escape? Why would you run? This is the best time for me to go on a hunting spree. You are just the first prey!"

Under the cover of the dazzling light, a sneer flashed across Chai Xin's face, and he secretly transmitted a message to the Yuanxian in front of him.

At the same time, without waiting for the other party to react, he completely sealed it with the Xuanhuang Seal!

"Everyone, I'm here to save you!"

After quickly dealing with his opponent, Chai Xin did not stop at all. He roared and activated the Xuanhuang Seal, rushing towards the guy whose body was rapidly expanding and was already in a state of self-destruction.

In the chaotic battlefield, no one noticed that he killed his opponent in seconds.

Most people were simply shocked by his actions at the moment, and then revealed indescribable complex expressions——

Is this guy stupid or just too loyal?

That was the self-detonation of a supreme Yuanxian master, yet he still dared to rush to save people. Did he think his death was not fast enough?

"Zhou Ling, don't be reckless, retreat quickly!"

Immortal Master Mo Yun, who was feeling complacent about having obtained the fragments of the divine artifact of creation, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this scene, and his heart sank.

It wasn't that he loved Chai Xin so much, it was just that he had just made a friend with unlimited potential, plus the reward for successfully completing this mission, his future fate would definitely change...

But why is this little brother, whom I just recognized, going to die like this?
If he really died here, many of his original ideas would be wasted.

However, even though he was at the top level among the top Yuanxian cultivators, he did not dare to withstand the self-destruction of another top Yuanxian cultivator.

"This stupid boy is so loyal. I hope he can survive..."

Immortal Master Mo Yun was secretly cursing Chai Xin for being an idiot in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel an indescribable admiration for him.

Although everyone thinks that someone who can save a companion in such a dangerous situation is not smart enough, who doesn't want to have such a partner?
"Perhaps... he has some kind of trump card to protect himself? A monster with such strength should not be a fool..."

Many people have had this idea.

After all, risking one's life to save others is indeed an incomprehensible stupidity in the eyes of most monks.

"My friend, give me a hand!"

"Save me first..."

When a cultivator self-destructs, the surrounding space will be affected by violent energy fluctuations, thus generating a huge binding force. At this moment, the two entangled Yuanxian powerhouses are in such a state.

"Seniors, please don't disturb me. I am here!"

Chai Xin had a righteous look on his face, and in a moment he had come close, actually standing between the two men and the suicide bomber!
"My dear friend, I will never forget your kindness in saving my life!"

"Okay, great!"

The two Yuanxian warriors felt the restraints on their bodies suddenly reduced, and they couldn't help but feel overjoyed, but they still lacked some strength to break free.

"My friend is trapped in space. I'm afraid there is no chance of escape. Please help me to the end!"

"If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Thank you very much for risking your life to save me..."

In order to escape, these two guys actually chose to attack the benefactor who came to rescue them without hesitation.

To be more precise, it means "stepping on"!

The two of them kicked out at the same time, intending to kick Chai Xin, using the recoil force to completely leave this area with the strongest binding force, and then they could fly freely in the sky.

"Why would you two repay kindness with hatred? I came here to save you, but you used me as a stepping stone to escape!"

Chai Xin let out an incredible roar, which instantly spread throughout the entire secret world.

"He is indeed a foolish boy who has no experience in the world. At this critical moment, who would care about the life and death of others..."

"This kid is so naive, so sad and lamentable."

When the other guys who were fleeing heard this, they all showed a look of mockery mixed with a hint of sympathy.

Immortal Master Mo Yun heard these words and shook his head with some reluctance: "If you can still survive this battle, you must have made some progress..."

Having said that, both from his expression and tone, it was clear that he did not think Chai Xin had any chance of survival this time.

The self-detonation of a top Yuanxian cultivator was terrifying enough, and now he has to face the backstab of his own people. How can he have a chance to survive?

"Don't blame us, blame yourself for being so stupid..."

"If you can get out alive, I will thank you for your kindness and take good care of your relatives and friends!"

The two Yuanxian powerful warriors who belonged to the Heavenly Court had grim expressions on their faces, and they did not feel the slightest guilt or sympathy for their actions.

"Really? You really think you can get away?"

However, before they could feel the joy of surviving the catastrophe, they immediately felt a huge and powerful force coming out of nowhere to suppress them. They looked carefully and saw the young man not far away looking at them with a half-smile.

"How can it be!"

"you……"

The two of them felt a chill rising from the bottom of their hearts, penetrating their souls. They wanted to open their mouths and shout, but found that they couldn't do it at all.

There was an irresistible mysterious force that completely suppressed them, leaving only 20% to 30% of their strength and completely losing the ability to move!
They didn't know that this was the divine power coming from the Xirang.

The next moment, the powerful Yuanxian who had self-destructed finally got what he wanted—

"boom!"

Accompanied by a loud noise that shook the world, a dazzling light covered an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of miles. Even divine thoughts could not be transmitted around. The void shattered, and waves of space tides swept out.

In an instant, under the influence of this horrific explosion, everyone temporarily lost their original powerful perception.

But Chai Xin, who was at the core of the explosion, remained calm and not even a strand of his hair was messed up.

He waved his sleeves calmly and suppressed the two Yuanxian warriors in front of him who wanted to escape.

Afterwards, the real Zhou Ling was released from the kingdom of God and protected by the Xuanhuang Seal.

"Follow the plan and make no mistakes."

Chai Xin gave an instruction and his body shape suddenly changed, transforming into a red-gold dragon tens of thousands of feet long, disappearing in the afterglow of the explosion.

"Master, rest assured. I will complete the mission at the cost of my life!"

Zhou Ling placed his most important head under the cover of the Xuanhuang Seal, but allowed his body to be bombarded by the energy of the self-explosion. In an instant, his flesh and blood became a mess and everything was charred.

For the next period of time, he will have to "play" himself again.

Chai Xin, on the other hand, transformed into the True Dragon Yuanxian that he had killed, and launched the final killing. This was a plan that Chai Xin came up with in an instant after noticing that someone had self-destructed.

"Roar!"

As the glow of the explosion gradually faded, everyone's perception began to recover slightly, and they heard a faint dragon roar sounding in their minds.

Before two people could come to their senses and understand what was happening, they were swallowed up by a bloody mouth.

"It's that old dragon. He's not dead yet!"

"This old beast, I clearly sensed him fighting with a powerful person before, I didn't expect him to be alive until now..."

"Everyone, gather together quickly. Don't give that old loach a chance to take advantage of you!"

When Immortal Mo Yun and others saw this scene, they immediately understood what had happened and began to gather together without hesitation.

They escaped in time just now, and the damage caused to them by the self-explosion of the Yuanxian strongman was not fatal.

Some lucky people weren't even injured.

However, "True Dragon Immortal" took advantage of the situation at this time, which was undoubtedly a huge threat to them.

Everyone knows how powerful a true dragon is among its peers.

Even if they have the support of the core formation, they will never be able to defeat the opponent if they fight alone.

Especially in the moment just now, there were two Yuanxian powerhouses who were too close to the core of the self-destruction and seemed to be seriously injured. They had become food for the True Dragon Yuanxian in full view of everyone.

The impact of this scene was so powerful that even Immortal Master Mo Yun and True Lord Yuan Ye felt their scalps tingling.

As for the deaths of Chai Xin and others at the center of the explosion, no one cared about them anymore.

"Elder Mo Yun, lend a hand!"

The aftermath of the self-explosion had gradually dissipated, and Zhou Ling walked out of the Xuanhuang Seal, his body almost half blown to pieces. He looked to Immortal Master Mo Yun for help in a very embarrassed manner.

Of course, he did this deliberately to make everyone think that he barely survived through special means to avoid being doubted about his true strength.

Of course, this was also Chai Xin's order.

Immortal Master Mo Yun was about to meet up with the others when he suddenly heard the exchange. He was shocked and turned to look over.

"Brother, are you still alive?"

He was stunned for a moment, then flew over quickly with great surprise.

Zhou Ling was already one of his most promising prospects. He thought he was doomed to die, but unexpectedly he survived.

For him, this means that his previous investment has returned, and now there is a good opportunity for additional investment.

Seeing Zhou Ling's miserable appearance now, if I could help him, even if I am not grateful, I will definitely remember it in my heart.

"Brother, how are you injured? I have a healing pill here, take it quickly!"

Immortal Master Mo Yun didn't care about anything else and directly threw a green pill at Zhou Ling who was obviously recovering from his injuries.

Zhou Ling took the pill with gratitude on his face and swallowed it. Immediately, his injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Thank you for the medicine, brother... I wanted to save those two guys, but who would have thought they would repay me with hatred..."

"Don't be too upset, brother. Didn't you survive in the end? Those two ungrateful guys deserved to die in the self-explosion! By the way, the power of the self-explosion was so terrifying, how did you survive?"

Immortal Master Mo Yun asked curiously while dragging Zhou Ling to meet up with the others.

"To be honest, thanks to the powerful life energy contained in this thing, I was able to survive the explosion... Unfortunately, it is completely destroyed this time."

Knowing that the other party would have this doubt, Zhou Ling immediately took out the explanation given to him by Chai Xin.

As he spoke, he took out a dark brown wooden sign from his body. The surface of the sign was now covered with cracks and could turn into powder at any time.

"This... could this be a fragment of the legendary World Tree?"

Immortal Master Mo Yun was also a knowledgeable man, and his eyes widened in shock.

Zhou Ling nodded with a wry smile, his expression not lacking in relief: "I had originally wanted to see if there was a chance to revive it, but now there is no hope at all..."

"Although the fragments of the World Tree are rare, there are many of them circulating in the heavens and myriad worlds, but I have never heard of anyone being able to revive it. Even my sect's founder, Jiuding Tianjun, tried but failed."

Immortal Master Mo Yun felt that the piece of wood was indeed completely lifeless, but he did not feel too sorry. Instead, he patted Zhou Ling on the shoulder.

"The remaining vitality of this fragment was able to save my life, which can be regarded as its last good fortune! My brother really has great luck. He has survived such a catastrophe. He will surely achieve great success in the future..."

"Thanks for your good words, brother...be careful!"

Just as Zhou Ling threw away the fragments of the World Tree that had been shattered into powder, he saw a huge golden shadow looming over him in the void.
