Chapter 282 - Massacre
The Spirit Tiger Dynasty was an intermediate-grade nation. It might not have been as powerful as the Azure Lion Empire, but it couldn’t be underestimated.
“Wei Hao is right. He’s merely putting on a strong front. There are fifteen of us; we do not need to fear him!” A True Core Realm cultivator from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty agreed with the Spirit Tiger Dynasty’s expert.
The intermediate-grade nations often engaged in martial exchanges. Therefore, they were familiar with each other.
The two of their words made many people nod in agreement.
Liu Wuxie smirked because he wasn’t putting on a strong front. He knew better than anyone that after reaching the True Core Realm, his true essence was still in a violent stage. This was why he needed a battle to resolve the ferocity. His true core far exceeded common understanding and couldn\'t be approached with conventional wisdom.
“Since that’s the case, what are you all still daydreaming about?” Liu Wuxie said coldly. The more True Core Realm cultivators he killed, the more powerful his cultivation would become. He wanted his cultivation to reach as high as possible before entering the cultivation world.
He knew how cruel the cultivation world was and would be enslaved if he didn’t have the strength to protect himself.
“What cockiness!” The fifteen True Core Realm cultivators had their own plans and were divided into several factions. They couldn\'t unite, wishing each other’s death so that they could monopolize all the dragon auras for themselves.
This allowed Liu Wuxie to find their weakness and exploit them.
Raising the Heretic Blade, Liu Wuxie poured all his true essence into it, unleashing a blade aura that stretched ten thousand feet. As the blade aura took shape, the weather began to change dramatically.
Upon facing this unrivaled blade aura, no one was willing to step forward to become the scapegoat. Thus, they all executed their martial techniques to block it.
Liu Wuxie sneered upon seeing this scene. These people were disorganized, but wanted to kill him?!
His golden true core began to rotate rapidly, devouring the surrounding spiritual energy. The divine bridge in his soul sea had expanded by a hundred times, and rumbling divine power poured in.
His true essence took various forms, manifesting into ferocious tigers pouncing at the fifteen True Core Realm cultivators.
An ordinary person’s divine bridge only had the width of a chopstick, while Liu Wuxie’s divine bridge was filled with an ancient aura and was the width of a bucket.
Because the fifteen True Core Realm cultivators fought individually, they couldn’t unleash any effective attacks.
Liu Wuxie strode the Seven Dipper Steps and vanished, rushing to the right side, where the three True Core Realm cultivators were relatively weak. They must have reached the True Core Realm recently.
“Retreat!” The three realized the danger and quickly retreated to avoid this fatal strike.
“Die!” After reaching the True Core Realm, Liu Wuxie’s speed increased more than ten times. With a flash, the three True Core Realm cultivators were beheaded, and the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron devoured their bodies.
Everything happened so quickly that no one could respond in time. After killing the three, Liu Wuxie was like a ferocious tiger pouncing at the others.
“Why is everyone still fighting individually now?!” Wei Hao roared, urging everyone to abandon their petty schemes. Liu Wuxie had fourteen strands of dragon auras, enough for everyone to share. So, there was no need for them to play such schemes.
Wei Hao’s words were adequate, instantly strengthening the rapport between everyone. This made it more difficult for Liu Wuxie to find their weaknesses individually.
The intensity of the battle increased. Liu Wuxie wasn’t in a hurry to kill them and was using them to hone his cultivation. He still hadn’t grasped the second form of the Fatality Blade Art and could barely execute it.
Fifteen minutes later, Liu Wuxie gradually became more familiar with the Fatality Blade Art’s second form. As Liu Wuxie honed himself through the battle, the lethality of his attacks increased, making the twelve people anxious.
The longer their fight lasted, the more unfavorable it would become for them. This was because they discovered that Liu Wuxie’s aura was increasing, and this wasn’t a good sign for them.
“Don’t hesitate anymore! This brat is using us to hone his cultivation and refine his blade technique!” Wei Hao’s facial expression became grave. He no longer had the arrogance from before because he could tell that Liu Wuxie\'s true essence was more terrifying than they had imagined.
With a true core the size of a basketball and the massive world in his dantian, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Liu Wuxie’s true essence was inexhaustible.
By the time everyone realized it, it was already too late for them because Liu Wuxie’s aura had peaked.
After hundreds of exchanges, Liu Wuxie finally reached greater mastery in the Fatality Blade Art’s second form.
As he raised the Heretic Blade to the sky, hints of blade rays hung in the sky that left everyone baffled. It looked like a crescent moon hanging in the sky.
When Liu Wuxie raised the Heretic Blade, a torrential wave of blade aura descended from the sky.
“Die!” Liu Wuxie was practically invincible in the same cultivation level as he unleashed a highly destructive heatwave.
The blade ray formed a barrier, preventing the twelve people from escaping. Liu Wuxie planned to kill them lest they give him trouble in the future. Furthermore, each person still had companions in the Dragon Battlefield, and killing them could save him from future troubles.
The battles in several distant regions were ending, and the intensity of those battles wasn’t inferior to that of this side.
The geniuses who couldn’t obtain any dragon auras began gathering in this direction. Thus, Liu Wuxie had to end the battle quickly in case more people came.
“Run!” Everyone only had the thought to escape. They all felt powerless facing this earth-shattering strike. But they couldn’t find any flaw in Liu Wuxie’s attack because his blade ray sealed all their path of retreat.
The first person exploded, with blood flowing on the ground. The blade aura soon formed into a vortex, devouring that person’s corpse. This was because Liu Wuxie required many laws in the True Core Realm to reach the second level as soon as possible.
The number of casualties soon increased, turning this into a one-sided massacre.
The Heretic Blade suddenly flew out, becoming a powerful ray that shuttled through everyone. Liu Wuxie could change the attacking direction as he wished. A terrifying divine power also enveloped a radius of a few hundred meters.
“Please don’t kill me!” Some people began to beg for their lives. They had finally managed to participate in the Battle of the Hundred Nations and didn’t want to die after coming this far. That was especially true for the geniuses who had already obtained a strand of dragon aura. If they died, their dragon auras would leave their bodies and be absorbed by Liu Wuxie without hesitation.
The numbers dwindled from twelve to just a few in less than a breath. Simultaneously, five more golden halos appeared around Liu Wuxie.
Only three people were left, and they were all trembling in fear.
“Run!” The three didn’t hesitate to run, wishing they were born with another pair of legs for running.
“All of you stay behind!” Liu Wuxie’s figure split into three and hacked down with the Heretic Blade.
Three heads flew to the sky, and with that, all of the thirty-four people who had surrounded him were killed. After killing them, Liu Wuxie collected their interspatial pouches before heading deeper into the Dragon Battlefield.
Not long after Liu Wuxie left, a few hundred people appeared, and a series of exclamations erupted after they saw the bloodstains on the ground.
“So many auras in the True Core Realm? Can it be that they’re all dead?” A True Core Realm cultivator from the Heavenly Fragrance Dynasty couldn’t hide the shock on his face.
“Was it done by someone from the empire?” The Sky Mansion Dynasty’s students approached with deep shock in their eyes.
Only several high-grade nations had geniuses in the third level of the True Core Realm who were capable of killing cultivators in the first level True Core Realm so easily.
“It’s impossible. The representatives from the high-grade nations have long entered the depths of the Dragon Battlefield to search for Dragon Bones.” Some people shook their heads, denying that those from the high-grade nations were responsible and suggesting it was someone else instead.
There were various discussions, but no one had a clue. Dragon auras continued to erupt from the ground, and it was already the third day.
Relying on the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron, Liu Wuxie plundered all the dragon auras along the way and accumulated over thirty strands of dragon auras. It was a spectacular scene of him enveloped in layers of golden halos, and he would draw attention wherever he went.
After killing the last person, Liu Wuxie sheathed the Heretic Blade. This was the 150th person he had killed in the Dragon Battlefield, and he left after collecting his dragon auras.
The refined liquid from the dragon aura poured into the world within his dantian, gradually increasing his cultivation. Despite this, his cultivation remained stuck at the pinnacle of the first-level True Core Realm.
Suddenly, gusts of wind could be heard approaching from the distance, making Liu Wuxie frown. After all, Liu Wuxie had spent the last few days in constant battles and was getting a little annoyed.
"Senior Brother Liu, save us!" Exclamations echoed from behind, compelling Liu Wuxie to halt his steps. When he turned around, he saw Qin Lei and Li Nanxiang approaching, their hair disheveled and bloodstains marking their bodies.
Five men emitted lewd laughter from behind them and were about to catch up with the two.
When Qin Lei and Li Nanxiang came before Liu Wuxie, they had exhausted their last ounce of strength and sat down, gasping for breath.
Before they could speak, the five men caught up. When they saw Liu Wuxie, they were shocked before becoming ecstatic.
“Hahaha! It’s you! I didn’t expect you to collect so many dragon auras!” These five were students of the Sky Mansion Dynasty.
On the first day, when Liu Wuxie had arrived at the Dragon Battlefield, he had a conflict with the Sky Mansion Nation. He had even sent Liu Guangpeng flying with a slap. He hadn’t expected Liu Guangpeng to reach the True Core Realm in three days, and he had a strand of dragon aura behind him. He must’ve used the dragon aura to get to the True Core realm.
“Hehe, this is excellent! Brat, you’re finished now!” Liu Guangpeng’s eyes were terrifyingly grim. No one had slapped him since he was young, and Liu Wuxie was the first. He wouldn’t be able to resolve the hatred in his heart if he didn’t kill the latter.
“Are you two alright?” Liu Wuxie ignored Liu Guangpeng and turned to Qin Lei. After all, this person was from the Qin Clan, and Liu Wuxie wouldn’t mind rendering because of Qin Biyu.
“We’re fine. Senior Brother Liu, you have to be careful. The Sky Mansion Dynasty has been hunting representatives from the Great Yan Dynasty in the past few days. They have killed several people.” After Qin Lei caught her breath, she stood up with a pale face.
Hearing these people were hunting the Great Yan Dynasty’s representatives, murderous intent swept out of Liu Wuxie’s eyes. He might not have had much attachment to the Great Yan Dynasty, but it was where this body was born and raised. So, how could he allow someone to trample on it?
“Brat, I’m talking to you. Do you think you can get away by playing dumb?” Liu Guangpeng burst into laughter. The five of them were in the True Core Realm, and they had been plundering dragon auras in the past few days. One even had two strands of dragon auras, all plundered from others.
“You will all die!” Liu Wuxie couldn’t be bothered to waste time talking with these people.
“Hahaha!” The five from the Sky Mansion Dynasty burst into laughter, amused by Liu Wuxie’s words.
