At this moment, Leng Xinghun and Donghuang Yinxuan seemed extremely arrogant. It was like victory was within their grasps, and they were utterly haughty.

However, this was also a form of confidence, and it was the pride of Region Lords!

What was a Region Lord?

An existence that controlled the world, could overturn Yin and Yang, transformed the energy of an entire region into their own energy, and stood supreme above Imperial Monarchs. In the Ancient God Domain, they were simply like overlords!

Yet now, Leng Xinghun and Donghuang Yinxuan had both become Region Lords, so their strengths and auras were so great that they naturally seemed like two completely different people.

At this moment, Universe Enlightened Ancestral Gods were simply no different to tiny little ants in their eyes!

Tu Meng had a livid expression, but he didn’t become exasperated. He was very clearly aware that Gu Yan and A’Liang were utterly unable to be of any help now, so with a wave of his hand, he’d placed both of them in the region within his body.

Leng Xinghun and Donghuang Yinxuan remained indifferent towards this. As far as they were concerned, even if Gu Yan and A’Liang were hiding there, they would still perish once Tu Meng was killed.

Leng Xinghun and Donghuang Yinxuan’s gazes were still focused on the region in the distance. It was like they were observing a prisoner, and their gazes were filled with indifference and undisguised hatred.

No matter if it was Leng Xinghun or Donghuang Yinxuan, both of them wished for nothing more than to swallow Chen Xi’s flesh, pull out his bones and tendons, and crush him into powder!

Unfortunately, even with their current might as Region Lords, they were helpless against Chen Xi right now. Because Dao Restraint Tribulation Energy that even they feared covered the Region Quintessences there.

It was even to the extent that it was the first time they’d seen such thick tribulation energy covering a region’s quintessence, and it was simply like an iron wall. They were truly unable to imagine how Chen Xi had overcome it while at the Universe Enlightened Ancestral God Realm and entered the Region Quintessence.

“This mysterious region is extraordinary indeed. It actually has two Region Quintessences!” In merely an instant, Donghuang Yinxuan’s pupils constricted, and he said in a slightly solemn voice. “Wait! It isn’t just two! Based on the vital energy emanated by that fellow, Chen Xi, he has clearly been cultivating for a long time. He has probably refined a huge amount of quintessence energy before we even arrived here!”

When he spoke up to here, he had a surprised and bewildered expression as he muttered. “Strange, this region is truly strange. How could it possess so many Region Quintessences? If that fellow, Chen Xi, is able to refine and absorb all of them, then what sort of terrifying might would he possess after he advances into the ranks of Region Lords?”

There was no need for Donghuang Yinxuan to mention all of this. At this moment, Leng Xinghun had noticed all of this as well, and his expression suddenly turned solemn.

He’d heard in the past that regions which possessed two Region Quintessences had appeared during the history of the Ancient God Domain, and such a region could be said to be unprecedentedly rare. Moreover, it even caused a huge stir in the cultivation realm of the Ancient God Domain.

But when compared to the region that stood before him, it simply paled in comparison, and it was like a firefly trying to compete in brightness with the moon!

According to Leng Xinghun’s deduction, Chen Xi had at least refined and absorbed three Region Quintessences by now, and if those two that hadn’t been refined and absorbed were included, then it would be an entire five Region Quintessences!

Moreover, this was merely a minimum amount, and the true amount might even be larger!

When he thought about how Chen Xi was actually refining and absorbing an unprecedentedly supreme fortuitous encounter here, a strand of uncontrollable envy and hatred couldn’t help but arise from Leng Xinghun’s heart.

Why is this fellow’s luck so heaven defying? ‘

How unjust and intolerable!

“Brother Leng, we can’t delay any longer. We must kill Tu Meng and the others right now, otherwise, once Chen Xi emerges from his cultivation, then he would be a huge variable to the situation.” Donghuang Yinxuan took a deep breath while a copious killing intent surged in his eyes and threw the surroundings into disorder.

“Exactly! Let’s deal with these fellows first!” Leng Xinghun was clearly aware as well that the important matter at hand within this current situation was to deal with this Region Lord before them, Tu Meng!

After all, if they waited until Chen Xi emerged from his cultivation, then merely his or Donghuang Yinxuan’s strengths alone would probably be unable to shake Chen Xi at all.

Even though Leng Xinghun was extremely confident towards the combat strength that he possessed now, he was clearly aware that once such a heaven defying and monstrous genius like Chen Xi advanced, then it would be utterly impossible for him to be a match for Chen Xi, and he might only have a chance at victory if he joined forces with Donghuang Yinxuan.

Under such circumstances, they naturally had to deal with Tu Meng first. After this Region Lord was eliminated, they would naturally gain a slighter greater advantage when dealing with Chen Xi.

…

Swoosh!

Once they’d made their decisions, Leng Xinghun and Donghuang Yinxuan’s gazes simultaneously descended onto Tu Meng whom they’d disregarded until now, and they didn’t conceal their killing intent at all.

“It’s time to fight? I’ve been waiting for a long time! Even if I die, I’ll bring one of you down with me!” Tu Meng’s gaze was like a bolt of lightning and carried a tinge of insanity.

He was very clearly aware of the situation he was in, but he would absolutely not wait helplessly for death to arrive.

“Haha! Brother Donghuang, how do you think Chen Xi would feel if we kill a companion of his right in front of his eyes?” When he saw Tu Meng reveal an appearance of facing death calmly, Leng Xinghun suddenly smiled and spoke in a carefree manner.

Leng Xinghun had cultivated within a Region Quintessence, so he was very clearly aware that even if one was cultivating within the Region Quintessence, one could still clearly sense everything that was occurring in the outside world.

“I’m naturally only too anxious to see him become overwhelmed by rage and fall into qi deviation, so that he would be utterly unable to advance into the ranks of Region Lords.” Donghuang Yinxuan spoke casually while his words were extremely malicious.

“Haha! That’s exactly what I was thinking.” Leng Xinghun roared with laughter.

As he watched how they acted, Tu Meng calmed down completely instead, and he gritted his teeth in silence. He was clearly aware that they’d said all of this to disturb Chen Xi’s mental state, and it was an extremely malicious move.

Bang!

Tu Meng stopped hesitating and attacked ferociously.

Tu Meng clawed with his palm. Space was overturned while all things were destroyed, and a bright golden and enormous axe appeared in midair. It carried peerless divine might as it swept out forcefully.

In an instant, this expanse of the starry sky was thrown into chaos, and a strand of terrifying and indescribable might swept out and covered the heavens and the earth!

This was the might of a Region Lord. With a wave of the hand, the world could be changed, all things could be crushed into powder, and it was unstoppable!

“Hmph!” Leng Xinghun grunted coldly while his blood red hair fluttered, and with a flick of his sleeve, a myriad of strands of red divine chains soared into the sky and moved to restrain Tu Meng.

Bang!

In an instant, Tu Meng’s golden axe was restrained while the blood red chains were like a net that ceaselessly shook and contracted, causing Tu Meng’s figure to be shaken to the point of staggering back while the axe in his hand was almost blasted out of his grasp.

Swoosh!

At practically the exact same moment, a violet colored wisp of sword qi shot out.

Pu!

It pierced through Tu Meng’s left shoulder and caused a string of blood to spray.

It was an attack from Donghuang Yinxuan. He’d attacked ferocious at the instant Leng Xinghun and Tu Meng collided in battle, and he’d injured Tu Meng in one go!

Tu Meng let out a muffled groan while his eyes almost split apart from rage. If he was at his peak state, then he wouldn’t have fallen into such a bad state as soon as the battle began.

The key was that he’d been pursued by Leng Xinghun and Donghuang Yinxuan all the way here, and he was already covered in injuries since a long time ago. So, he was naturally unable to resist the pincer attack of two Region Lords right now.

However, he was merely injured, and Tu Meng wouldn’t help allow himself to be defeated and killed!

Kill!

Tu Meng gritted his teeth tightly as he charged once more like a madman. The energy, essence, and spirit within his entire body burned, and he seemed to be ferocious and violet to the extreme.

However, in the eyes of Leng Xinghun and Donghuang Yinxuan, Tu Meng was like a trapped beast who was putting up a desperate fight, and he was courting death. So, it was indescribably pitiable and laughable to them.

Rumble!

As soon as the battle erupted, these three Region Lords had transformed this expanse of the starry sky into a battlefield. They moved horizontally and vertically through it, threw the heavens and earth into disorder from their collisions, causing the stars to explode into pieces. The battlefield was covered in Chaos.

“Chen Xi, are you watching? Your companion is about to be killed. You’re one who attaches extreme importance to tiers of comradeship, so could it be that you’re going to watch as this fellow dies because of you?” As he fought, Leng Xinghun continued roared with laughter, and his voice carried an icy cold and mocking tone. “Chen Xi, If you come out right now, then I, Leng Xinghun, swear to the heavens that I would definitely allow your companions to live. As for you… if you’re willing to be a dog for my Sovereign Sect, then I’ll naturally give you a chance. What do you think?”

“Dammit!” Tu Meng was furious to the extreme in his heart, and he howled loudly. “Martial Ancestral Uncle, don’t listen to their nonsense. All of these fellows from the Sovereign Sect are Bastards! They’re worse than animals!”

Pu!

His voice hadn’t finished resounding through the air when Tu Meng was injured once more. Donghuang Yinxuan had forcefully stabbed him in the back with the Dao Control Brush, and it tore open a gasp the was deep enough to make his bones visible. Blood flowed from with it, and it was a horrifying sight.

Tu Meng’s face warped and turned savage from pain, yet he gritted his teeth and didn’t make a sound. Even if he died, he wasn’t willing to disturb Chen Xi at all.

“Hah! How stubborn.” Donghuang Yinxuan laughed coldly with contempt. “Unfortunately, your Martial Ancestral Uncle, Chen Xi, is too heartless. He’s actually watching as you’re tortured yet refuses to do anything.”

Bang!

As he spoke, he held the Dao Control Brush in hand as he tore through the air and attacked once more.

“Don’t be impatient. I want to shatter this fellow’s bones, bit by bit, and see for how long he’s able to persist!” Leng Xinghun spoke in an icy cold voice, and he intended to agitate and disturb Chen Xi by humiliating and torturing Tu Meng.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

During the next period of time, blood sprayed over and over again from Tu Meng, and it completely drenched him while his injuries grew even more serious.

At the same time, Leng Xinghun and Donghuang Yinxuan complemented each other as they utilized all sorts of torturing and humiliating words to ceaselessly ridicule and mock Tu Meng and Chen Xi.

They did all of this in order to disturb Chen Xi’s cultivation.

Such methods were simply malicious and cruel to the extreme, and it was infuriating.

But from the beginning until the end, besides emitting muffled groans of pain, Tu Meng didn’t make any further sounds. His willpower was so strong that even Leng Xinghun and Donghuang Yinxuan frowned to themselves and were extremely surprised.

“Add a little more force. If we’re able to destroy this fellow’s foundation, then it would be even more painful that killing him.” Leng Xinghun’s voice was icy cold, vicious, and extremely indifferent.

“That’s exactly what we should do. After we cripple him, we’ll crippled the other two of his companions, and make all the disciples of Oracle Mountain be reduced to cripples. Once that fellow, Chen Xi, comes out and witnesses such a scene, it would definitely be extremely interesting.” Donghuang Yinxuan chuckled as he spoke, and his words were even more malicious and ruthless than Leng Xinghun.

…

At this moment, within the eighth Region Quintessence, Chen Xi’s hands couldn’t help but clench tightly as he sat cross-legged there, and it was to the point his nails pierced into his palm and caused blood to flow. However, he seemed to have not noticed it at all….

Bang!

On the other hand, indescribable rage was seething like lava within his body, and it couldn’t be restrained any longer, causing it to rumble as it erupted and swept throughout his body.
