Before the giant pitch-black palm that covered the sky, the hall master who was a Martial Venerable realm powerhouse and possessed an insane amount of power was like an insignificant little big.
At the time he was caught by the giant pitch-black hand, the unlucky hall master didn't even have the time to scream for help before he was instantly squashed on the ground by the gigantic pitch-black palm attack.
The giant pitch-black was simply too Swift and too fast. Not to mention Ling Chen's dark energy was stronger and thicker than the darkness true Qi energy of this world. As such it was nearly impossible for a middle stage Martial Venerable like the hall master to escape or to tear it apart once he was caught.
Since Ling Chen had absorbed the blood and the life essence of one of the hall masters already who was at the Martial Venerable Realm, his strength had suddenly increased which gave him the confidence to face bloodbath and his group without playing hide and seek anymore.
Soon, the dark energy had completely disappeared as it quietly and swiftly receded through Ling Chen's body like a tidal wave.
The surrounding poisonous fog had also blown away by the giant palm attack, leaving behind a giant deep black hand imprint on the ground with the unlucky bloody hall master in the middle.
Nonetheless, The body of the hall master didn't shatter and transformed into bloody goo that sprayed out from the cracks between the palm's fingers.
In fact, the Hall master was still alive. However, he seemed that he was unable to move not even a single muscle as every bone in his body was crushed. His blood was quietly flowing on the ground.
Though the hall master was still a Martial venerable, that single palm attack was enough to instantly kill him and turned him into a meat paste. And the reason he was still alive was that Ling Chen simply had to spare him as he couldn't absorb the life essence and blood of a corpse.
Looking at the fate of the 4th hall master on the ground, the remaining two hall masters had a frightened look on their faces.
They were all terrified because it could have been any one of them in the ground covered with blood half-dead at the moment instead of the 4th hall master.
They were all horrified of Ling Chen who kept on getting stronger and stronger by the minutes as well as his heaven-defying demonic abilities.
Meanwhile, Bloodbath was simply and utterly furious.
In just a short period of time, four hall masters have fallen into the hand of Ling Chen and it all happened right in front of him. To him, there was no greater humiliation than that.
Furthermore, these four people weren't weak either. They were all warriors that have awakened their nascent soul. They were all considered as peak class warriors throughout the whole Heaven Desolate region.
At this moment, Bloodbath didn't care about taking Ling Chen alive anymore. The only thing on his mind now was killing Ling Chen. His bloodthirst has become an obsession that could pierce through everything.
He realized that if he didn't attack Ling Chen with the intent to kill then he would probably turn into his nutrient just like the other three hall masters.
While Bloodbath and the remaining two hall masters were still in a daze, Ling Chen suddenly dove down towards the bloody hall master on the ground with a frenzy look on his face.
At this moment, he had only one thing on his mind, and that was to absorb the blood and the life essence of the dying hall master.
He was pretty sure that he would break through the peak of the middle stage of the Martial Venerable once he absorbed him.
It was going to be his second time absorbing the blood and the life essence of a Martial Venerable, and he couldn't wait to get his hand on him. Unlike Martial Sovereign realm warriors, a Martial Venerable realm warrior life essence was way stronger.
A Martial Venerable realm warrior's vitality wasn't something that a Martial Sovereign could compare with. Though he only got the leftover of the life essence while the majority went to the six fruits of creation, he was still able to break through the early stage of the Martial Venerable realm.
Die!" Bloodbath didn't waste words as he swung his large bloody ax towards Ling Chen who was flying down to absorb the blood and life essence of the injured 4th hall master.
His eyes turned fierce with murderous intent and his entire body emanated a terrifying pressure that enveloped this expanse of the heavens and the earth. He was already prepared since long ago and knew that Ling Chen would try to absorb the life essence of the injured 4th hall master.
Swoosh!
In the next moment, a thick, large, and extremely dazzling dark strand dark light shaped like a crescent moon swept out horizontally and shot towards the incoming Ling Chen at an astonishing speed.
This single slash possessed a brilliant and terrible aura, and it seemed to pass through the ages. It was only a simple Ax strike, yet it caused the heavens and the earth to dim down while space rippled without end.
It had precision with plenty of force and sharpness on top of its swiftness, allowing it to cut through even the hardest metal.
Seeing this incoming dangerous attack, Ling Chen abruptly stopped.
"Boom!"
At the same time, a terrifying dark aura surged out him like a tsunami engulfing the whole world. It then materialized into a dark demonic unbreakable shield capable of stopping any attack.
Meanwhile, the slash was still coming for Ling Chen, on the verge of decapitating him. This simple slash seemed as though it contained the power to decapitate even gods and devils.
Bang!"
The moment that single powerful slash made contact with Ling Chen's demonic dark shield which gave the impression of an unbreakable and invincible shield, something unbelievable and unthinkable happened.
That single powerful slash cut through the unbreakable demonic dark shield like butter and split it apart. It then continued to head for Ling Chen who was hiding behind the shield and split him into two halves.
Seeing this, whether it was Bloodbath or the remaining two hall masters, they were all flabbergasted.
Though the single Ax slash was insanely powerful, they couldn't believe that it was able to take out Ling Chen that easily.
They had all witnessed the fight between Ling Chen and Elder Zhuo, as such, they were all aware of how powerful Ling Chen's dark shield was.
However, this time it couldn't even withstand a single blow from their supreme hall master.
At the same time, they also felt relieved. Since they saw him being dismembered by the slash, they believed that he has been killed.
For some unknown reason, they felt much better. Though they had no deep grudge against Ling Chen till today, his very existence exerted immense pressure not only on them but to the whole Heaven Desolate Region due to his demonic power. As long as he was alive, even the strongest being in the entire Great Luo World was bound to be overshadowed by him.
Furthermore, with his demonic power, all living beings within the Great Luo world were nothing more than nutrient to him. At this moment, they felt as if the world has returned to normal
Meanwhile, Bloodbath pulled back his large bloody Ax, ending the battle in a decisive and imposing manner.
While the others were celebrating inwardly due to Ling Chen's death, Bloodbath had a confused look on his face. He was pretty sure that this slash had cut Ling Chen into two halves, yet he felt something was amiss but he couldn't wrap his fingers around it.
Even after Ling Chen was cut in half, there wasn't a strand of blood coming out of his body as he was falling on the ground.
"It's over." Bloodbath said as he was looking at Ling Chen's falling body. And strangely enough, his comment didn't carry that much confidence.
Given his power, he could tell that the slash indeed made contact against Ling Chen. No, he was one hundred percent sure about this.
Logically, no one should be able to survive this slash after a clean connection. Alas, his enemy was Ling Chen. A youth whose power and ability was shrouded in mystery.
As such, he still had lingering doubts and didn't know if he had killed him or not.
While Bloodbath was still contemplating whether or not Ling Chen had truly died from that slash:
" huh! I think I'm full. Even the tastiest wine couldn't compare with the life essence of a Martial Venerable realm warrior." A Leisurely and satisfied voice suddenly sounded from the ground. At the same time, the falling Ling Chen's body that was cut in half by Bloodbath's heaven-defying slash suddenly turned into two thick and long dark tree roots.
