Chapter 285: Chapter 285: One Fakes Death, Stealing the Treasure!

"Trying to outpace me?"

Seeing Lu Chen daring to ready his spear in response, even under his well-prepared state, the Sword Cultivator laughed even more arrogantly than Lu Chen!

He had the capital!

He had the strength!

He had the realm!

"Boy, what’s the use of a spear? The sword is the ancestor of all weapons!"

The Sword Cultivator moved extremely quickly, and his voice was full of disdain. He also saw that although Lu Chen was raising his spear to respond, he was too late to deploy his Spiritual Power to contend with him!

Even if his Spiritual Power was strong, so what?

"If you were close, your spear would have the advantage! But at a distance, my spear isn’t as flexible as my sword!"

A smile appeared on the Sword Cultivator’s face, his Spiritual Power already locked onto Lu Chen’s forehead!

Even if he reacted quickly, this time he would struggle to dodge!

But as his words fell, Lu Chen’s Mysterious Iron Spear had already stabbed into his abdomen first!

"You’re not wrong," Lu Chen said indifferently, "but that’s someone else’s spear, not mine!"

He acknowledged that the Sword Cultivator’s sword was very fast and quite tricky.

Indeed, Lu Chen was absolutely certain that if it weren’t for the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, he wouldn’t have reacted in time, let alone have been able to stab the opponent first!

"No... Impossible!"

This thrust aimed directly at the center of his Dantian, piercing his Path Platform!

Under the powerful thrust of the spear, the Platform was utterly destroyed, and his Spiritual Power dissipated!

Even if his sword was an extension of his arm, with no Spiritual Power to drive it, how could he counterattack against Lu Chen?

"There’s nothing impossible," Lu Chen pulled out the spear and placed the tip against his opponent’s forehead, "you just lack experience, that’s all!"

As his words ended, Lu Chen applied force, thrusting the spear straight in!

The Dantian shattered, the soul perished!

The Sword Cultivator’s eyes bulged, dying without closing them!

Until his death, he couldn’t understand why Lu Chen, at only the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, had not been hit even once by his flying sword!

"All thanks to the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique!"

Seeing that his opponent’s life force had completely dissipated, Lu Chen finally let out a sigh of relief.

In this battle, the greatest advantage wasn’t Heavenly Inquiry Spear Technique but the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique!

This made him even more eager to seize the opportunity to cultivate the Pupil Skill. Although the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique couldn’t help much with his cultivation realm, it could cause an earth-shattering change in his combat abilities!

The last Sword Cultivator was finally seen through by Lu Chen using the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique to track the flying sword’s trajectories!

"Today I encountered a Sword Cultivator known for his speed, later on it’s inevitable that I will come across cultivators with even stranger movements! Before reaching the Core Formation Stage, I must truly master the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique!"

Lu Chen made a firm decision then turned his head to look toward the sacrificial altar.

He had just noticed that at the very center of the altar, there was a palm-sized turtle shell.

"Is this the treasure?"

Lu Chen was momentarily stunned, and then he asked the spear spirit in his mind.

"Yes," the spear spirit hastened to reply, "I can confirm it’s the Formation’s treasure core, but I can’t see anything special about this turtle shell!"

The spear spirit spoke truthfully, so Lu Chen looked even more carefully.

He did not rashly go forward to take it; who knew if taking the turtle shell would cause the palace to collapse?

Or even trigger the entire Earth Element Formation to change?

The other four Elemental Formations were already completely destroyed.

What he feared was that the Earth Element Formation would affect the Five Elements Formation, eventually leading to the destruction of the entire Formation, and then it would become difficult to find the Purifying Jade Vase!

Lu Chen withdrew his gaze, planning to mark this place and then go look for Little Black.

Once he found Little Black, they would go together in search of the Purifying Jade Vase.

If all went well, he would come back to this spot afterward.

Just as Lu Chen left the palace, a trembling figure rose up in the shadows!

"Fortunately... I had long since achieved Sword and Human as One; as long as the sword is not destroyed, I can still live... I thought to deceive him for a moment and then flee, but I never expected, this one at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment wouldn’t even take the treasure?"

"Although I don’t know the treasure’s function, if I want to survive and escape, I have no choice but to take a gamble!"

"However, it seems like the Earth Spirit Power on this treasure is immensely powerful; could this be a shell left by the Earth Spirit Turtle?"

As the Sword Cultivator murmured weakly to himself, his hand rested on the turtle shell!

In an instant, a mighty suction force emerged from a hole in the shell, and it immediately sucked the Sword Cultivator inside!

The palace began to tremble, and cracks seemed to appear at the top.

Lu Chen quickly noticed this phenomenon and couldn’t help but look up!

"Not good, it seems like this place is about to collapse. Could it be that killing those three has affected the palace?"

At the thought, Lu Chen quickened his pace, heading towards the spot where he had left Little Black!
