Eternal Life from the Golden Needle Technique

Chapter 549: Chapter 72: Shaking the Heavens and Earth

The person rushing toward them was none other than Chen Lingfeng, attempting to flee!

However, at this moment,

Shen Changchuan did not recognize him.

But even so, Shen Changchuan didn’t dare to be the slightest bit careless.

Because at this moment,

the man’s aura was at the Ninth Layer Peak,

and his speed,

was in no way inferior to the speed of the Corpse Refining Sect’s old ancestor that Shen Changchuan had once witnessed!

The distance of thousands of feet was covered in an instant!

This left no room for Shen Changchuan to be even the slightest bit careless!

However,

just in that split second, as Shen Changchuan was about to unleash the Golden Wind Jade Dew Gu in his body, enter his Overclocking State, and prepare to resist with all his might,

the unexpected happened!

SWISH!

Suddenly,

a beam of black light pierced through the void, appearing in an instant to the left of Chen Lingfeng’s figure!

The attack came so quickly,

and its angle was so precise,

that Chen Lingfeng had no time to react before he was instantly pierced by the beam of black light!

BOOM!!!

As the black beam ran through Chen Lingfeng’s body, an overwhelming force erupted.

In an instant,

Chen Lingfeng’s body was sent flying backward like a cannonball, crossing hundreds of feet before smashing straight into the ground.

Accompanied by a violent roar, he blasted a massive crater into the earth.

This sudden turn of events,

not only stunned the crowd in the distance,

but also sent massive waves of shock through the heart of Shen Changchuan, who stood in the way!

He had almost failed to react to that split-second event himself!

Without a second thought,

he immediately grabbed Nangong City, who was beside him, and his figure shot backward, retreating to a high point over a thousand feet away.

”Who is it?!”

The various prodigies from the Outer Realm were also shocked by this.

This sudden event caused the various parties, who had been in a standoff and fighting, to quickly disengage.

The warring factions scattered, putting distance between themselves.

Some also worried that this might be a trick orchestrated by Chen Lingfeng himself.

Therefore, although they didn’t immediately go to check on Chen Lingfeng’s condition, they all spread out from a distance, forming a huge encirclement that vaguely blocked off all of Chen Lingfeng’s escape routes.

At the same time,

even more people looked warily in the direction from which the black light had appeared.

If they weren’t mistaken,

the Talisman Chen Lingfeng had used earlier should have been a Tier Three Talisman that could enhance a Cultivator’s Body Technique.

Combined with his own Cultivation Realm at the Soul Emergence Ninth Layer Peak,

for anyone in that situation,

it would only make them even more formidable.

Even an expert at the Divine Travel Realm would probably have to last a few exchanges with him.

But what was this situation now?

He was knocked out of the sky with a single blow?

Many people gazed in that direction,

their expressions uncertain.

Because,

something like this could probably only be done by an expert at the Divine Travel Realm!

Could it be,

that a Divine Travel Realm expert had finally intervened?!

For a moment,

everyone present didn’t dare to make a move.

”They’re here!”

At this time,

farther away and on higher ground, Shen Changchuan was also looking in the direction from which the black light had come, and he muttered under his breath.

”What’s here?”

Nangong City looked bewildered.

The series of events that had occurred in just a few breaths happened so suddenly that his mind hadn’t even had a chance to catch up.

Shen Changchuan didn’t answer.

Because,

at this moment,

he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis!

The feeling of his hair standing on end forced him to be on his highest alert, his attention fixed in that direction.

And then,

in the distance,

at the edge of the dim sky,

the figure of a young woman in a long black dress, her face veiled in black gauze,

appeared without a sound, like a phantom, and hovered in mid-air not far away.

The moment she appeared,

it was as if the very heavens and earth lost their color.

The light twisted and dimmed,

and an eerie darkness descended.

Mysterious,

profound,

and dangerous!

Everyone who saw the girl in the black dress felt this in their hearts!

”Brother Nangong, what’s that woman’s background? Do you recognize her?”

Amidst the silence,

Shen Changchuan, who was already quite far away, subtly asked Nangong City beside him via Divine Thought.

Compared to himself, Nangong City was able to mingle with those prodigies from the Outer Realm, so his knowledge would be far greater than his own.

However,

Nangong City glanced at the young woman, a look of bewilderment on his face as well.

”I don’t recognize her... With an aura like that, I don’t recall any prodigy like her from the surrounding domains...”

After a moment’s hesitation,

Nangong City still replied via transmission.

A person’s aura,

especially the aura of a prodigy who stands in the spotlight, is easy to discern.

The girl in the black dress ahead gave him the impression of a demoness.

At least,

Nangong City had never heard of a prodigy like her in the nearby domains.

Hearing this,

Shen Changchuan’s brow furrowed slightly.

’There’s no such prodigy in the surrounding domains,’

’Could she be from beyond the Southern Great Domain?’

’But why would she come here?’

For a moment,

numerous thoughts flashed through his mind.

In the end, however,

Shen Changchuan decided to wait and see.

’Better to observe and react than to act rashly...’

’I don’t understand the situation yet, so it’s not wise to stick my neck out... Speaking of which, isn’t this supposed to be the Enlightenment Grotto Heaven, the Secret Realm where the Enlightenment Stone was once located?’

’So what’s going on? This place looks completely ordinary. I don’t sense anything special about it.’

’And those people, they seemed to be fighting in a chaotic free-for-all earlier? Could it be they found fragments of the Enlightenment Stone?’

Shen Changchuan’s gaze shifted,

sweeping over the various prodigies scattered around.

A glint flashed in his eyes.

His gaze paused for a moment, especially when he saw Nangong Yunfan and the figures behind him.

’That person,’

’must be Prince Nangong...’

Shen Changchuan mentally took note of him.

At this moment,

the girl in the black dress gracefully bowed to the crowd before her:

”This little sister greets her elder brothers!”

”I have come only to reclaim my ancestor’s inheritance.”

”So I must ask you all to grant me this convenience.”

A voice, as melodious and pleasant as a golden oriole, rang out.

The voice wasn’t loud,

but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

”Her ancestor’s inheritance?”

”This isn’t some family’s ancestral home; these are the Xiangshan Sect Ruins! So, could you be a descendant of the Xiangshan Sect’s remnants?!”

After the girl in the black dress finished speaking,

someone was the first to step forward and shout.

As that person’s voice fell,

the atmosphere on the scene grew tense.

This woman’s appearance was too mysterious.

Moreover,

and most importantly,

her aura,

was something that not even Shen Changchuan could clearly discern!

To be able to heavily wound Chen Lingfeng in a single blow, was this woman at the Divine Travel Realm, or something else?

If she was at the Divine Travel Realm,

then everyone present was probably in for a world of trouble!
