A smelting furnace simmered and burned everything, the scorching flames baking like a purgatory on earth.
Screams and wails echoed through the clouds. The cultivators within the furnace tried to retreat and escape, but they were trapped in the formation, running around in circles. A cultivator proficient in formations caught a loophole in the formation and escaped, only to find himself trapped within the furnace magic treasure.
No matter how they attacked, they couldn't shake the furnace even a little, and despair welled up in their hearts.
Looking back, Chen Changsheng's whole body erupted with the power of the Divine Elephant, his Qi and blood and true fire condensed into an auspicious sign of dragons and phoenixes singing together. He walked over step by step like a god of slaughter.
Those cultivators controlled by Miao Miao were using sharp magic tools to slit their own throats, and corpses fell one after another.
The zither music ended, and Miao Miao's clear, pretty face was slightly pale, looking a little weak, but there were no more cultivators around who could sneak attack.
"Fellow Daoist, leave people room to maneuver. You've won this opportunity to compete," a sect cultivator said tremblingly.
"We will no longer compete for the Taiji Pan fruit, please let us leave."
"Even if your foundation is strong, you can't offend too many sects and factions at the same time. That is extremely detrimental to the development of your Taiping City. Please think twice, Fellow Daoist."
The surrounding people echoed and persuaded, talking endlessly as if they had grasped a life-saving straw.
Chen Changsheng said calmly, "I can spare you, but you must make a Dao Heart oath that you will never pursue today's matter after you leave, otherwise you will be struck by five thunderbolts, your souls will be destroyed, and you will not enter reincarnation."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the surrounding people changed drastically.
Dao Heart oaths cannot be made casually. Cultivators go against the heavens, and their oaths will be sanctioned by the Heavenly Dao. Once violated, the Heavenly Dao can directly send down punishment.
They thought these people would seize the rare opportunity and immediately make a Dao oath.
Unexpectedly, their faces were gloomy, and they looked at each other, with no intention of swearing at all.
"Fellow Daoist, I'm sorry I can't agree. There are too many taboos in Dao Heart oaths, but I can guarantee that I will never trouble you after I go out," the cultivator said with a gloomy face.
How could they take this lying down after swearing? How could they take this lying down when their relatives and friends died before their eyes, and they were seriously injured by the other party?
"We can't do anything to you, but we have already notified the elders of the sect. You can't kill us either. Please, Fellow Daoist, take a step back and don't be too aggressive."
"No matter how strong a force is, it can't stand the siege of many forces. If you want to develop Taiping City, you must unite with us, otherwise it will be difficult to survive in the world of cultivation."
"That's right, if you don't remove the magic treasure and formation, it won't be so easy to solve the problem later."
A group of sect disciples warned in a cold voice.
They had regained their composure. The sect backgrounds of so many people combined could definitely deter the other party. The reason why they were asked to make a Dao oath was a sign of fear!
Chen Changsheng smiled coldly and directly threw the battle halberd, which roared through the crowd like an arrow.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The few people who had threatened him just now exploded into blood mist on the spot, and the surrounding cultivators' hearts stopped suddenly, and they trembled with fear.
"This is the second chance I've given you, but you have treated my kindness as fear, and even threatened me in return. It seems you all want to put me to death."
Chen Changsheng's eyes were cold, and he rushed over with overwhelming killing intent.
The cultivators were so frightened that their faces turned pale and scattered in the furnace. Faced with Chen Changsheng's violent power, they were like chickens and dogs, vulnerable to a single blow.
The burning flames gradually increased in temperature, burning their skin red, and they wailed and screamed. It was useless no matter which direction they escaped.
Screams and fear filled the whole world.
The Golden Core elders of the major sects and factions arrived at the scene, and couldn't help but take a deep breath and look horrified at the purgatory-like furnace.
"Stop!! How dare you, you little thief, slaughter righteous cultivators on a large scale! Come out and die!"
"It's a Golden Core magic treasure, everyone work together to break it!"
The Golden Core cultivators shouted loudly, using all their strength to cast Dao magic divine light, like a huge hammer falling, and the furnace cracked with a snap.
Chen Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly and immediately took back the furnace magic treasure.
If they continued to chop like this, the cost of repairing the furnace would double. It was not worth sacrificing the precious furnace magic treasure for the last few seriously injured cultivators.
Whoosh!
The furnace was removed, and flames still remained on the ground, the scorching heat evaporating like steam.
Several cultivators with scorched and burned bodies lay on the ground, with smiles of victory on their faces. They had never been so eager to survive as they were now.
The Golden Core elders in the air were furious, and the huge pressure of true energy crushed down on Chen Changsheng.
Faced with the deterrence of these Golden Core cultivators, Chen Changsheng said calmly, "It's a little impolite for you to break into my Taiping City without saying a word."
The third-grade talisman surrounding his body emitted a bright light, and all the sweeping pressure was offset.
Several Golden Core powerhouses flicked their sleeves and took the seriously injured disciples back to their sides, their faces full of anger: "I don't care what Taiping City you are, a nameless force is worthy of slaughtering my sect's disciples, die to me!"
More than a dozen Golden Core elders descended, and the Foundation Establishment ants in front of them dared to be arrogant and presumptuous, completely angering everyone.
In an instant, massive true energy squeezed the space and contracted, like an invisible big hand, crushing towards Chen Changsheng.
"Nameless? That's just because you are ignorant. I'll give you three breaths to leave, otherwise you will die here."
Whoosh!
An old voice suddenly sounded, and the suppressed true energy and Dao magic shattered like bubbles, blowing up a whistling gust of wind.
"Everyone, leave quickly if you want to live."
Chen Changsheng stood beside Miao Miao with his hands behind his back, looking at the ferocious Golden Core elders in the sky with a smile.
As the Dao magic suddenly shattered, the pupils of more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators shrank sharply, and they hurriedly released their protective Dao magic like lions with exploding manes, cautiously looking around, and shouted loudly: "Who?! Which senior is hiding here, why not show yourself?"
"Three..."
"Senior, I am an elder of Haoran Academy..."
"Two..."
The old voice was still reciting the time, regardless of the other party's identity.
Everyone's faces were uncertain, with a bad feeling.
A timid Golden Core cultivator planned to escape from the scene, but they had not figured out the other party's cultivation level. If the other party was just bluffing, their escape would become a laughing stock.
People live for face, and sometimes it is such a brief hesitation that they regret for life.
"One..."
Boom!
As the countdown ended, a vast amount of true energy covered from afar!
A brilliant golden light suddenly lit up between heaven and earth, and an invisible sense of oppression enveloped all the Golden Core cultivators present.
They stiffly raised their heads and looked up in the direction of the golden light.
"That is..."
The Golden Core elders' faces were pale, and they looked at the towering hundred-zhang giant shadow, their voices trembling: "A Nascent Soul Dharma Idol!!"
