Cultivation of immortality begins with an eighty-year-old eunuch.

Chapter 731 The Art of Fixed Characters! How dare you, you brat!

The Fire Source's gaze shifted back to Chen Fan, its eyes practically overflowing with greed:

"My clone couldn't penetrate the spatial turbulence barrier outside, and could only rely on someone knowledgeable in spatial laws to guide it. If it weren't for you leading the way this time, my clone wouldn't have been able to return within a hundred years! And the spatial aura you possess can help me tear through that barrier and escape this perilous place after I break free! As long as you cooperate obediently, I might spare your life, or even take you as my slave and lead you to the Cultivation Alliance!"

"Keep dreaming!" Blood Butcher was furious. Although he was bound by crimson chains, he still tried to circulate the bloodthirsty power within his body.

"Noisy."

The Fire Source itself snorted coldly, and its withered right hand suddenly grabbed downwards.

"Buzz!"

The array patterns on the altar instantly lit up with a blinding blood light, and the crimson chains on Blood Butcher's body suddenly sprouted countless tiny barbs that pierced deep into his flesh!

"what!"

Blood Butcher let out a shrill scream. His prized Blood Fiend Battle Body was as fragile as paper before these chains. Visibly, the surging blood energy within him flowed along the chains, rushing wildly into the altar, and finally converging into the dry corpse of the Fire Source True Body.

In just a few breaths, the once imposing Blood Butcher deflated like a punctured balloon, his bronze skin becoming wrinkled like orange peel.

"No! No!" Bingpo was terrified when she saw Xue Tu's miserable state. Her cold and aloof temperament vanished, and she desperately twisted her body to try to escape, but the chains only tightened around her.

The Fire Source took a deep breath of the blood energy surging into its body, and a strange rosy glow appeared on its withered face, even the ghost fire in its eye sockets became a little stronger.

"Such pure blood essence, no wonder you're a body cultivator." He groaned comfortably, turning his gaze to Ice Soul. "Next, it's your turn."

Chen Fan leaned against the stone pillar, coldly watching this scene.

Although his meridians were locked, his left hand never left the golden bowl. When he was knocked away, he took the opportunity to test it and discovered that although the chains could suppress spiritual power and demonic energy, they could not stop the fusion of immortal and demonic power within the golden bowl!

He didn't rush to take action.

When dealing with a true Void Refinement stage monster, even one whose cultivation has been drained of most of its power, one must not be careless in the slightest.

He was waiting, waiting for a fatal opening.

"Fellow Daoist Guimu, what are you still looking at?! He drained me dry, and you're next! Let's self-destruct our Nascent Souls and fight him to the death!" Bingpo shouted desperately at Chen Fan.

"Self-destruct? Under my 'Heavenly Binding Lock,' you can't even mobilize a trace of spiritual power. What are you going to use to self-destruct?" The Fire Source True Body sneered and pointed his finger in the air again.

The crimson chains tightened abruptly, and Bingpo let out a muffled groan as his body was instantly pierced by barbs, causing his icy spiritual power to leak out uncontrollably.

However, just as the Fire Source True Body focused all its attention on absorbing the essence of the two people!

Chen Fan made a move.

"Clang!"

A crisp sword cry suddenly rang out in the deathly silent square!

The crimson chains that were originally binding Chen Fan suddenly developed a strange gray-white sword light on their surface.

The concepts of cause and effect, life and death, and stillness erupted instantly under the impetus of the fusion of immortal and demonic power in the golden bowl!

The "Heaven-Binding Lock," which was said to be impossible even for those at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, crumbled inch by inch under the cutting of the three realms of intent!

"What?"

The Fire Source itself was shocked and turned its head sharply, its eerie green eyes filled with disbelief.

Chen Fan had already stood up.

He gripped the hilt of Eleven's sword with his left hand, the tip of the sword pointing diagonally at the ground. The grayish-white sword light flickered on the blade, and his whole being exuded a chilling killing intent.

"You...you clearly had your meridians sealed, how could you possibly break free of my chains?" The voice of the Fire Source True Body became shrill.

"I have said it before," Chen Fan raised his eyes, his tone calm and without a ripple, "I have never had the habit of being someone's slave in my life."

"Arrogant!"

The Fire Source roared, and although it was nailed to the altar and could not move, it opened its withered mouth and spewed out a black demonic fire with an extremely foul stench, which transformed into a fire dragon that was tens of feet long and roared as it rushed towards Chen Fan!

The fire dragon contained pure Void Refinement stage fire laws, and wherever it passed, even space itself was burned, distorted, and collapsed.

Chen Fan advanced instead of retreating.

He slapped his right hand behind his back, and the Black Soul Banner transformed into a dark red ribbon that shot into the sky. Millions of souls on the banner let out a deafening howl, transforming into a huge dark red vortex that directly met the fire dragon!

"boom!"

The fire and the banner collided violently in mid-air, and the violent shockwave swept across the entire square, scattering the surrounding dried corpses to pieces.

Although the Black Soul Banner had just advanced to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, it was incredibly resilient under the tempering of the top-grade magic crystal, and it managed to withstand the impact of the fire dragon!

Taking advantage of the moment, Chen Fan's feet flashed with spiritual light, and he swept towards the altar like a ghost!

"You're courting death!" The Fire Source's true form's eyes blazed with ferocity as it brought its two fingers together, about to unleash some ruthless secret technique.

"Certainly!"

Chen Fan uttered a single word softly.

This was the first time since he broke through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm that he had used the Fixed Word Technique on a Void Refinement cultivator without reservation.

The Fire Source itself froze instantly!

Although it was only a short half-breath, for a sword cultivator like Chen Fan, half a breath was enough to decide life or death!

As soon as it was drawn, the sword's aura surged to several feet in length.

The concepts of cause and effect and life and death intertwined perfectly, transforming into a gray-white crescent-shaped sword aura that tore through the air and fiercely slashed at the neck of the Fire Source, which was pinned down by long nails!

"How dare you, you brat!"

Just as the sword energy was about to strike, the Fire Source True Body forcibly broke free from the binding spell. He let out a deafening roar, and his originally withered body instantly swelled up, forming a layer of crimson spiritual shield that seemed to be solid, blocking his neck.

"Bang!"

The sword energy struck the spirit shield, unleashing a blinding light. Chen Fan felt an overwhelming force of recoil, his tiger's mouth splitting open again, and he was sent flying backward through the air, taking more than ten steps back before barely managing to regain his footing.

The fire source itself on the altar was also suffering.

The crimson spirit shield was cleaved by the sword energy, leaving a deep crack. The strange power of the three realms of intent invaded his body through the crack, causing him, who was already weak, to suddenly spit out a mouthful of black blood!

"Good! What a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator! He actually managed to injure me!"

The Fire Source itself clutched its chest, letting out a bitter laugh. The eerie green flame in its eyes flickered wildly, revealing a reckless madness.

"Since you don't know what's good for you, then I'll kill you first, and then extract your soul to explore that spatial turbulence!"

After saying that, he suddenly bit his tongue, and a spurt of dark red blood essence sprayed onto the array patterns in front of him.

"Activate the Blood Sacrifice Formation!"
