The scene fell silent. No one knew what had happened. They only saw that the black long shuttle, moving so fast that its trajectory was hard to discern, slowed down dramatically as it entered Zhang Fan's body's three-zhang range.
At that speed, even a cultivator at the Heavenly Human Realm could have easily dodged it.
"What a mystical domain."
Liu Mu's bright eyes fixed on Zhang Fan, with a hint of awe. It was the first time he had seen a domain that could manipulate force fields.
"Is it the power of a domain?"
Although Liu Mu's voice was very soft, many people present heard it. After a moment of thought, they also felt it could only be this possibility.
The black long shuttle's sudden deceleration was indeed due to Zhang Fan using his Disintegration Domain to resist, which produced such an effect.
"You want to kill me too?"
Zhang Fan toyed with the black long shuttle adorned with carvings in his hand, staring at Ouyang Ye, whose face was extremely grim, with a half-smile.
"In this Great Rock Star, you are the first one to dare to kill a disciple of my Ouyang family. No matter what, you will die today!"
Ouyang Ye's eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake's, fixing on Zhang Fan.
Although Zhang Fan's methods were peculiar, he could tell that Zhang Fan had not cultivated a Nascent Soul.
As long as Zhang Fan was not a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, even if he had condensed a top-grade Golden Core of the second rank, Ouyang Ye would not fear him.
As for a first-rank Golden Core cultivator, he never even considered it. In the vast Wu Shan Star Domain, cultivators who condensed a first-rank Golden Core in any era were few and far between, and each one was a powerful figure listed on the Heavenly Rankings. How could he not know this?
"How did you cultivate your physique? You're fine even after jumping into that underground lava. Why are you so strong?" Just as the tension at the scene reached a breaking point, Liu Mu, rather inappropriately, came to Zhang Fan's side, staring at his bare upper body with great curiosity and asking.
"Want to learn? I'll teach you." Zhang Fan smiled, looking into Liu Mu's bright eyes.
"No, no need."
Seeing Zhang Fan's bare physique, Liu Mu's face flushed slightly, and he quickly waved his hand.
"If you don't want to, then so be it. Why are you blushing? You're like a girl." Zhang Fan waved his hand, then added, "You step back first. I'll deal with this old man first."
"Cough, cough!"
Zhang Fan's words seemed to choke Liu Mu. He coughed twice and then retreated to the side, not speaking again.
"Truly a newborn calf that fears no tiger. Today, I will let you see the difference between a Golden Core stage cultivator and a Nascent Soul stage powerhouse."
Ouyang Ye laughed in anger. With a casual wave of his hand, a long spear, entirely black and exuding a dark, gloomy glow, appeared in his hand.
"It's the Ouyang family's high-grade spiritual treasure, the Star Gate Luo Yun Spear. I didn't expect Ouyang Ye to bring this spiritual treasure. It seems he had planned this for a long time."
Some cultivators from the Great Rock Star recognized the black spear in Ouyang Ye's hand, their eyes filled with surprise.
Even on the Great Rock Star, high-grade spiritual treasures were few and far between. The Ouyang family probably only had this one, yet they dared to hand it over to Ouyang Ye.
"This was originally meant for Fu Feng, but now you can get a taste of a high-grade spiritual treasure's might in advance."
Ouyang Ye stared at Zhang Fan, hoping to see a look of horror and fear in his eyes, but he was disappointed.
"A high-grade spiritual treasure?"
"I happen to have one too. Why don't we compare and see whose is more powerful?"
Zhang Fan took out the Mountain River Seal from the Starry Sky Space. A powerful spiritual treasure aura emanated, startling everyone present, and then a flicker of greed spread through their eyes.
A high-grade spiritual treasure!
Many Nascent Soul stage cultivators with weaker strength did not even possess one. Yet, they never expected that this small Golden Core stage cultivator would have one.
"If I can obtain this seal, I will have the confidence to protect myself even if I encounter an ambush from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in the future." A peak cultivator who had condensed a second-rank Golden Core licked his lips, his heart burning with greed, and a malevolent intent had already arisen.
Ouyang Ye's eyes also revealed a hint of surprise. His heart was on guard, but his killing intent grew even stronger.
"Hahaha!"
A tiger's roar that shook the heavens and earth echoed from the forest. A burly, coarse-featured middle-aged man, over a zhang tall, strode out of the forest.
As the middle-aged man emerged, a powerful pressure spread across Star Lake. The Golden Core stage cultivators felt a chill in their hearts, as if they were being targeted by a peerless ferocious beast.
"When did such a powerhouse emerge on the Great Rock Star? Who is he?"
Some Golden Core stage cultivators wondered in their hearts, guessing.
"Are you Bai Yunhu?"
Fu Feng saw the middle-aged man and his expression changed drastically. In this Star Lake Forest, the only one who could exert such immense pressure on them was likely the king of Star Lake Forest, Bai Yunhu. 138 Reading Network.
"Not bad, four Nascent Soul stage cultivators. It's barely enough to fill my stomach for a meal."
Bai Yunhu's gaze swept over Fu Feng, Ouyang Ye, Li Yunhai, and Liu Mu, and he nodded with satisfaction.
Bai Yunhu's aura was robust, and he was in good condition, showing no signs of injury. Seeing this, everyone realized that this was likely a trap set by Bai Yunhu.
Although the Earth Core Saliva was precious, it was only of great use to Golden Core stage cultivators. For powerful cultivators who had reached the Nascent Soul stage, it held little appeal.
Bai Yunhu would not risk being severely injured by the Earth Core Fire for the sake of Earth Core Saliva by drilling into the earth's core.
Now, it seemed, his ultimate goal was these human cultivators who came searching for Earth Core Saliva.
"It's over. Even if the clan leader came, he probably wouldn't be a match for Bai Yunhu. Today, we will all die here."
Despair flickered in Li Yunhai's eyes. The reason they dared to venture into the deepest part of Star Lake Forest was that someone had spread the news that they had personally seen Bai Yunhu drilling into the earth's core and being severely injured by the Earth Core Fire.
If Bai Yunhu was not injured, even the clan leaders of their three great families would not dare to venture into this Star Lake.
"My children, attack!"
Bai Yunhu paid no mind to the reactions of those present. These human cultivators were merely a tonic in his eyes.
While demonic beast cores had considerable effects on human cultivation, similarly, the Golden Cores and Nascent Souls of human cultivators were great tonics for powerful demonic beasts.
As Bai Yunhu waved his fan-like hand, a rustling sound of branches swaying immediately echoed from the dense forest. Then, everyone saw hundreds of ferocious beasts charging out of the forest.
"Shadow Leopard, Silver Moon Wolf, Red Flame碧眼 Python..."
If it were just a single group of fierce beasts, the human cultivators, with their four Nascent Soul stage cultivators, could still resist them with ease.
However, with three powerful groups of fierce beasts, under Bai Yunhu's command, they would become an extremely terrifying force once united.
Of course, what made them feel most despair was Bai Yunhu himself.
Facing a demonic beast that had survived three Nascent Soul tribulations, they had very little resistance.
Nearly a hundred demonic beasts, each with a condensed demonic core, were comparable to human Golden Core stage cultivators. Even the leaders of these tribes could contend with Nascent Soul stage powerhouses.
If the human cultivators had not experienced internal strife, and a hundred Golden Core stage cultivators resisted together, perhaps some of them would still have a chance of survival.
But at this moment, there were less than twenty human cultivators left. Facing the encirclement of the demonic beasts, breaking through had become extremely difficult.
