Chapter 164: Five Thousand Kilometers of Palm Prints (60, 61, 62/100, the final chapter of this volume)

"Liu Shanshan, activate the big array!"

With a low roar, knowing that he couldn't delay any longer, the guardian sword in Yang Yuan's palm immediately turned into a meteor and shot at the Yuan Shen powerhouse who had just spoken.

Boom!

The same sword pierced the head, and the next moment stabbed at another primordial god without stopping.

Although he was at the same level, he was cultivating the three top-level exercises of Ling Yuan's One Qi Technique, the Yellow Emperor's Zhen Martial Arts, and the Yan Emperor's Blue Dragon True Body, as well as the heaven-level low-grade martial arts such as Ling Yuan's True Martial Sword Technique, and ordinary Yuan Infant Realm powerhouses were not opponents, not to mention these in front of him.

As long as you shoot, it's basically a one-hit kill.

The long sword flew, and the person was not idle, volleying into the void, the void wave body method was displayed, and he walked seven steps in the air in a row, appeared in front of another Yuan Shen Realm powerhouse, and bombarded down with a punch.

Rumble!

The head also exploded.

The Tianxuan Zhaoxin vine is suspended outside the body, and the primordial gods are made into reality.

Three swords and one punch, the four Yuan Shen Realm powerhouses were killed in two seconds, and the many Jin Dan who were struggling with whether to escape or not were all so frightened that their faces turned pale and they couldn't speak.

Even a person from the Dragon Yuan Realm had encountered such a ruthless guy for the first time......

It's terrifying, whether it's the soul body or the true qi, there are almost no flaws.

"Escape ......"

Knowing that what the first Yuan Shen powerhouse said was right, if he didn't escape, it was very likely that all of them would die on the spot, and the rest of the Jin Dan, then dare to stop, and immediately escape with the sword.

Call!

Before it could fly far, a large array in the air began to operate, as if a fog had emerged, causing it to lose its direction.

At the same moment, a huge domain pressure enveloped all of them, and the cultivation in the body seemed to be imprisoned.

"The realm is more than one kilometer, and at the same time imprisons six primordial gods, more than two hundred golden pills?

Feeling the power of imprisonment around him, and knowing that it was the realm of the young man in front of him, a primordial god powerhouse felt that he was about to go crazy.

In the same realm, the range they can control is up to 100 meters, but the person in front of them can control 1,000 meters, which is directly ten times that of them!

The most important thing is...... At the same time, more than 200 Jin Dan and six Yuan Babies were imprisoned......

How powerful is it necessary to do this?

Under normal circumstances, in his realm, if he rushed into the ten golden pills, he would not be able to bear it and would directly break it.

It's no longer just one plus one equals two, but an incremental effect!

It can be said that with such a powerful Yuan Shen power, the Yuan Infant Realm may not be able to do it.

"I'll break through the realm, everyone will run away......"

Knowing that if the realm was not broken, it would be difficult to escape from one, this primordial god powerhouse roared, and the power in his body swelled violently.

Self-destruct!

This guy actually wanted to detonate the true qi and primordial spirit in his body and help these golden pills escape.

"The life of the Dragon Yuan Realm also has such a great spirit of sacrifice?"

Yang Yuan couldn't believe it.

In my previous life, I had seen countless cultivators of the Dragon Abyss Realm, invading other worlds, being able to survive by themselves, never caring about others, and even encountering danger, killing their companions and escaping, there were also many people.

This primordial god actually wanted to blow himself up, stir up his own domain, and help others escape......

The cultivators of the Dragon Yuan Realm, when did they help each other so much?

"How can it be so easy!"

Knowing that once the other party succeeds, with the cultivation of the whole body of the Yuan Shen powerhouse, he can indeed make his realm shake, and he can't control more than two hundred golden pills.

But...... Since he made a move, how could he succeed!

Tianxuan Zhao Xin Vine "Boom!" spread outward, and in the blink of an eye, Kung Fu appeared in front of this Yuan Shen powerhouse, and before the latter could react, he felt a huge evil qi invade the sea of knowledge, and his spirit was a little sluggish for a moment.

Boom!

At this moment of distraction, his head was blown up by Yang Yuan's punch.

"Run!"

As soon as he killed this person, he heard the remaining five Yuan Gods shouting at the same time, and then Yang Yuan felt that the bodies of several people, whether they were True Qi or Yuan Shen, were boiling rapidly.

"Are these people crazy?"

Yang Yuan went crazy.

One person has the spirit of dedication, and it is enough to blow himself up to save everyone, and five of them will blow themselves up at the same time......

What's going on?

Could it be that there is a problem with his memory, and the people in the Longyuan Realm are willing to pay and not hesitate to die?

However, this was not the time to think about this, the two vines stabbed at the two Yuan Shen powerhouses at the same time, the long sword in the air stabbed at the other, and he used the Void Wave Body Technique again, rushing towards the other.

Bang bang!

With one sword and one punch, the two primordial gods were killed, and the Tianxuan Zhaoxin vine shrouded the two immobile primordial god powerhouses, and they were also beheaded by the guardian sword.

Within one breath, nine Yuan Shen powerhouses were killed!

At the same level, Yang Yuan is already invincible!

Rumble!

However, he was fast and self-detonated faster, and although he used the fastest means to kill four, the last one still didn't have time to make a move.

There was a violent roar, and the force of the rage exploded abruptly not far away.

Self-exposure is successful!

In order to reach the realm of the primordial gods, the power stored in the body has exceeded that of nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs, and the power generated by self-explosion is enough to blow a radius of several hundred kilometers into ruins.

Mount Everest may be blown up into powder and flattened.

This is Genshin!

A super strong man who surpasses Jindan.

The Dragon Yuan Realm is nothing, but on Earth, it is already the pinnacle of existence.

Click!

The ferocious power surged out, and Yang Yuan only felt that his realm could no longer be controlled, and countless cracks immediately appeared.

"Emperor Yan's Blue Dragon True Body!"

As soon as his body stepped in the void, countless transparent scales were born on the surface of Yang Yuan's body, and a huge Yuan Shen appeared above his head, imprisoning the surroundings.

If he was fighting alone, he encountered a self-explosion, and Edgeworth fled, with a speed of Mach 150, even if he was injured, it would not be too serious, but at this time, above the Yuanyang Sect, not far away was the courtyard where the scientists lived, and below there were countless disciples of the Yuanyang Sect, a thousand strong people who built the foundation, as well as Liu Shanshan, Zhao Xuan and others.

If you really want to escape alone, with the power of the Yuan Shen explosion, you can blow up all these people in an instant, and there will be no one left!

So, if you can't hold on, you have to persevere.

The surging power was suppressed by him with the primordial spirit, and cracks appeared in the air.

Burst!

A mouthful of blood spurted out.

Woooooooooooooooo

The realm shook, and there was no longer the control just now, the air let out a whimper, and hundreds of Jindan Realm powerhouses swung their long swords, cut out traces, fled from the realm range, and hurriedly fled into the distance.

"Can you escape?"

His teeth clenched, and Yang Yuan's spirit moved.

Call!

The flying sword fell, it was the three hundred mid-grade spirit weapons he released from space, although it was not a sword formation, but it was descending from a high altitude, and the speed had already exceeded Mach 250.

Flutter!

The Jindan Realm powerhouse who escaped was split in half before he could go far, and the Jindan spun in the air.

When the Yuan Shen Realm encounters him, he will be killed with one blow, and Jin Dan can't resist it.

Puff! Puff!

A series of muffled grunts, and corpses kept falling from the sky.

There are more than 100 Jindan powerhouses, and the farthest they run is only more than 30 kilometers.

After killing these people, Yang Yuan's face turned pale, and blood spurted out again.

Using the realm to forcibly block the self-explosion of a powerhouse of the same level has already hurt the Yuan Shen, if it weren't for the perseverance in his heart, he might not have been able to bear it a long time ago.

"The ten primordial gods are all dead, and more than a hundred golden pills have died, and the danger of destroying the world and the heavenly talisman has been lifted......"

Despite the serious injury, he was also relieved.

In the previous life, the 5,000-mile palm prints that caused more than half of the earthlings to be killed and injured, although I don't know who released them, but eight or nine times out of ten were among the top ten primordial gods, and now they were killed before they were activated, and the hidden danger had almost been eliminated.

Although there are still more than a hundred Jin Dan left, as long as the domain is well controlled, there is no need to worry.

"Boom!"

As soon as I felt that I could relax, I saw the remaining more than a hundred Jindan powerhouses again, and nearly half of them, and the strength in my body swelled.

Yang Yuan's scalp was numb.

"What the hell is crazy?"

Crazy face.

It is incredible that the Yuanshen powerhouse blew himself up, and this group of Jin Dan actually blew himself up without the slightest hesitation, what is going on with this wave of invaders?

In my previous life, when I fought with it, I had never seen it, it was so ruthless!

"Die!"

Knowing that although the self-explosion of the Jindan Realm was weaker than that of the Yuan Shen Realm, but so many explosions at the same time, he couldn't bear it either, and the guardian sword slashed down in the air.

The sword qi spread for hundreds of meters, shooting at these Jindan powerhouses who were still imprisoned by themselves.

At the same moment, Tianxuan Zhaoxin Vine, Youchi and Qu Fuming also rushed forward, their strength was swaying, and the snipers of Zhao Xuan and others also kept shooting.

A thousand people held a long sword in their hands, and the sound of the sword formation was once again filled.

Flutter! Flutter!

In the blink of an eye, dozens of Jin Dan were killed on the spot.

Rumble!

However, there were still more than a dozen Jindan powerhouses who revealed that they had succeeded, and the surging power gathered together, forming a mushroom cloud that was more powerful than the self-explosion of the powerhouses of the Yuan God Realm.

Burst!

The people in the air spat blood from their mouths at the same time and flew out upside down, and the disciples of the Foundation Building Realm who formed the sword formation underground did not know how many died in an instant.

Yang Yuan also fell like a cannonball, smashing a big crater on the ground, feeling that the bones in his whole body would shatter at any time.

Although his physical body was very powerful, so many golden pills exploded at close range at the same time, it was still not something that could be resisted, and it had already hurt the foundation.

Woooooo

There were more than thirty Jin Dan left, and they were all affected by the explosion, and they were all not lightly injured, but they also broke free from Yang Yuan's domain because of this, and the long sword was in the sky, and fled in all directions.

Whoosh!

Yang Yuan controlled three hundred genuine spiritual weapons and shot at everyone.

"Friends of the Dragon Yuan Realm, we, the Yilin Empire and the Wufeng Country, are here with sincerity, as long as you are willing to communicate, we can show the greatest sincerity......"

Aldrich's voice continued.

The power of the Yuan Shen Realm and Jin Dan's self-explosion was too huge, and the camera in the live broadcast room of Jinhua Mountain had been destroyed, and a black screen appeared.

People all over the world don't know what is going on, only that the fighting is fierce.

So...... Aldrich also did not know it, and was still tirelessly showing his loyalty and intending to surrender.

"Go this way!"

A Jin Dan suddenly shouted.

The remaining thirty or so Jin Dan, realizing something, all changed direction and galloped straight towards the Western world.

The people who were still alive in the Yuanyang Sect were all puzzled when they saw this scene.

With so many people, fleeing in all directions, there must be a greater chance of surviving, running directly in one direction, isn't it easy to be caught up?

Willing to blow himself up, in order to save others, to flee in the same direction, this is ...... Death together?

What the hell are these people up to?

Everyone was confused.

"Can't let them escape......"

Knowing that it was useless to dwell on these now, and escaping in the same direction was the best choice for him, Yang Yuan struggled to stand up, the long sword under his feet resurfaced, and he quickly chased after it, and at the same time controlled three hundred medium-grade spirit weapons, and quickly chased after it.

It was so fast that the air seemed to be torn apart, leaving behind a series of sonic booms.

Burst!

Catch up with one of them, smash his head with a sword, his speed reaches Mach 150, and the opponent is only about Mach 100, which is half faster, as long as he continues to chase, he can be killed sooner or later.

The powerhouse of the Jindan Realm, as long as he is caught up, is basically a sword for him, there is no difficulty, and it is almost impossible to escape from under his nose!

It's just that......

"Why did they gather together and flee in one direction, when they fled in all directions?"

The sword flew, constantly slashing down the Jindan Realm powerhouse that had caught up, and Yang Yuan thought about the incomprehensible question in his heart at the same time.

Under normal circumstances, the remaining thirty or so Jin Dan only need to be scattered in all directions, although their speed is very fast, they can catch up with three or five, which is the limit, and the others can completely escape, why do they suddenly gather together and flee westward?

Even if they hear Aldrich's words, they won't have such power, let them turn around at the same time!

The most important thing is...... A group of Yuan Shen and Jin Dan rushed to blow themselves up, regardless of life and death, for what?

The more I thought about it, the more I didn't understand, and I was confused.

"Ten ...... Left"

Although he couldn't figure it out, he didn't show mercy in his hands, and killed people while chasing, and soon there were only ten of the more than thirty Jindan powerhouses left.

Call!

Just as he was about to catch up and continue to kill, he saw that the Jindan powerhouse who was at the back not only did not flee, but instead met him, and the strength in his body increased rapidly.

Self-destruct again.

Yang Yuan's scalp exploded.

Self-detonation ...... It's a trick that will definitely die, it's more cruel than suicide, it's devastated, according to the normal situation, a self-explosion is understandable, but this time the invaders exploded one after another, isn't it fun?

"No, is it ......?"

In a flash of inspiration, an idea popped up, Yang Yuan couldn't help but stiffen, and a violent panic poured into his body, making him tremble involuntarily.

"That world-destroying palm talisman is not there...... In the hands of those few Yuan Shen Realm powerhouses, and in the hands of these fleeing Jindan Realms, the purpose of this group of people to blow themselves up was to stop themselves and leave time for this one!"

The purpose of the decapitation operation is to kill the person holding the world-destroying palm talisman, as long as the other party is killed, the talisman will not be activated, and the palm print will not fall.

The Earth will survive the second invasion......

After planning for a long time, I thought of this method, so at the beginning of the battle, I strictly followed this requirement, and as soon as I made a move, I attacked the most powerful in the Yuan Shen Realm, and then killed the ten Yuan Shen one by one.

I thought that the strongest ones were all dead, and the World Destroying Palm Heavenly Talisman must exist in the storage ring with one of them, but now it seems that it is not like that at all!

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Yuan Shen to explode by itself, and the Jin Dan to explode by itself, and every disciple did not hesitate to regard death as home......

Do this...... There is only this possibility, they themselves are dead soldiers, and they have no intention of living, the purpose is to protect the person who released the Heaven Destroying Talisman, so that they have time and strength to activate the talisman!

If this is the case, it can be explained that all the people who fled in all directions were gathered again.

Aldrich's words, although they were surrenders, but he and Qu Fuming and the others showed their strength, so that these powerhouses in the Longyuan Realm were not sure whether it was to lure the enemy deep or trap.

If it is a real surrender, it should be possible to be rescued, if it is false...... When a group of people are together, they can also have a care, ensuring that the person holding the Heaven Destroying Talisman can survive smoothly.

If the guess is true, the earth is really in danger.

"Flutter!"

Killing the Jindan powerhouse who stopped him from wanting to blow himself up, Yang Yuan gritted his teeth and endured the injuries on his body and soul, and continued to chase after him.

Although the movement was fast, it was still blocked.

Rumble!

This time he didn't chase far, and the next Jin Dan also blew himself up, as if he had released a nuclear bomb in the air, and the huge shock wave made his speed decrease sharply, and his already injured body shook again, and the blood at the corner of his mouth kept dripping.

Before the change, even if this kind of golden pill blew itself up, it wouldn't hurt a bit, but now that he was injured, plus in order to catch up with the remaining cultivators, he tried his best, relying on his physical body to resist the impact, and after a few consecutive blows, he felt that his eyes were black, and he couldn't hold on.

The injuries at this moment are not worse than the last time they were hit by a nuclear explosion, and if it weren't for the persistence of the mind in his heart, he might have fallen from the sky a long time ago.

"There are three left, it's almost ......"

Gritting his teeth, he looked at the Jindan Realm powerhouses who fled in front of him, accompanied by one self-explosion after another, out of 310 intruders, only three people remained.

As long as they are killed, the second invasion will be over, and the so-called World Destroying Palm Heavenly Talisman will be completely blocked.

Rumble!

The third self-destructed.

Rumble!

The second self-destructed!

"There's only one left......"

Full of excitement, Yang Yuan's face flushed.

Just as he was about to speed up and rush up, he saw that this Jin Dan was not moving forward, but stopped.

"Die!"

Knowing that there could be no delay, Yang Yuan didn't leave any time for the other party to speak, and the guardian sword slashed over again.

Airplanes!

At the moment when the sword qi fell on the opponent's head, the light of the opponent's body flashed, and a layer of diaphragm appeared, easily blocking the sword qi from the outside.

"It's ......"

His pupils shrank, and Yang Yuan couldn't believe it: "The talisman left by the powerhouse of the Cave Void Realm?"

Although he was seriously injured and his strength could not be half of what he used to be, the power of a sword, ordinary Yuan Infant Realm powerhouses did not dare to take it hard.

The golden pill in front of him can be easily blocked by the talisman alone, indicating that the talisman is by no means something that can be refined by the Yuan Shen Realm, but ...... Void!

With the talisman of the Cave Void, it seems to be ...... My own guess was right.

The Heaven Destroying Palm Talisman that destroyed the heavens and the earth in the previous life was not in the hands of the ten primordial gods, but here in front of this guy!

After thousands of calculations, I couldn't have imagined that such a precious treasure was actually in the hands of an ordinary Jindan disciple, not Yuan Ying......

What the hell is going on?

"Broken!"

Knowing that only by killing the other party can the hidden danger be solved, Yang Yuan ignored the injuries on his body, controlled 300 medium-grade spirit weapons, and kept slashing.

One after another, the sword qi kept spilling down, landing on the opponent's talisman, emitting a series of roaring sounds.

Like a clash of gold and iron, the amulet shook constantly, but it did not break.

"See how long you can hold out......"

Yang Yuan's eyebrows rose.

The talisman is affected by the refining material, even if it can store the power of the powerhouse of the Cave Void Realm, the number is limited, and he has more than 300 medium-grade spiritual weapons, constantly attacking, consuming a little bit every time, and the time is not long, and the light of guarding the other party is really dimmed a lot.

"You're using the cultivation techniques of the Dragon Yuan Realm, right......"

The Jindan Realm powerhouse standing in the light film did not continue to escape, but looked over.

Not bothering to answer, Yang Yuan continued to attack.

"In the early stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, you have this kind of strength and strength, you are indeed very strong, but ...... This world, I just saw, is the same as what Aldrich said, it is not a cultivation civilization, and the whole is very weak! You alone are strong, and it is impossible to stop our army of the Burning Sun Sect......"

The Jindan powerhouse sneered.

With his words, Yang Yuan saw the other party's appearance clearly at this time.

He looks like he is in his twenties, with a Chinese face, and indifference and madness between his eyebrows.

"I think I've seen ...... somewhere"

The brow is furrowed.

This appearance seems to have been seen somewhere, but he can be sure that he has never seen this person in his previous life, otherwise, he will definitely remember it clearly.

"You don't have to worry about this, whether you can stop it or not, anyway, you will die today, and you will never have a chance to see it again......"

Yang Yuan went on the offensive.

The surging and furious power kept falling, and the light of the opponent's talisman became more and more dim, and it seemed that it would be extinguished at any time.

Under normal circumstances, an ordinary Yuan Shen Realm powerhouse, even if he used all his strength, it would be impossible to wear away the talisman left by the Cave Void Strongman, but Yang Yuan Jindan was extremely large, and the strength in his body was more than a hundred times that of a powerhouse of the same level, despite such a crazy display of power, the true qi was still domineering and full, without the slightest sign of weakness.

"I still underestimate you! but ......"

Seeing that the light film was about to disappear, this Jin Dan knew that it was impossible to escape, and his eyes showed a crazy look: "Come to the new world, I don't plan to go back alive at all......! I'm not going to make it easy for you. ”

After speaking, his wrist flipped over, and a small talisman appeared in the palm of his hand.

Seeing the appearance of the talisman clearly, Yang Yuan's heart contracted, and his eyes involuntarily blackened.

Exactly what worries him the most...... Destroying the Heaven Talisman!

Sure enough, it was in his hands.

Did Yang Yuan want to kill him, and he was forced to take this thing out in desperation?

Of course not!

Bringing this thing to a new world and giving a devastating blow first is an unchangeable strategic plan, but even he didn't expect to encounter such fierce resistance!

In this small world of such an ordinary, there would be a cultivator as powerful as Yang Yuan.

At this moment, a voice continued to sound in the air.

"Friend of the Dragon Yuan Realm, I am Eldrich of the Elin Empire, and we are willing to cooperate with you with sincerity......"

Yang Yuan looked down, only to find that after chasing all the way, the two had already come to the sky above the western world, and below was the Yilin Empire, which was connected by a series of islands.

Next door is the Atlantic Ocean.

This chase battle actually flew half the world!

"Die!"

Knowing that now was not the time for shock and anger, Yang Yuan continued to attack.

The talisman left by the powerhouse of the Cave Void Realm is too strong, even if there are three hundred medium-grade spiritual weapons, it is still difficult to break it in a short time.

The one not far away obviously knew that he couldn't escape, so he simply didn't escape, and took out the World Destroying Palm Heaven Talisman, and the power of the golden pill in his body poured into it, and a majestic force slowly spread out.

"Don't ......"

His eyes were red, and Yang Yuan was full of anxiety.

In the previous life, the Heaven Destroying Palm Talisman fell on the Antarctic glacier, melting all the cold ice, causing the earth's sea surface to skyrocket, and eventually more than three billion lives died.

Although it is not the South Pole now, but over the Atlantic Ocean, if this huge palm really falls, it will definitely cause no less than hundreds of millions of deaths!

Can't resist at all......

"It is your honor to be conquered by the Dragon Abyss Realm, and it is ......worth it for you to die in the hands of my father's World Destroying Palm Talisman."

Jin Danjing's slightly hideous voice sounded.

Immediately after that, the talisman was activated instantly, and a palm print suddenly appeared above the two of them, which was only a dozen meters long at first, and then became larger and larger.

The aura around was absorbed like a tornado, and in just three breaths, this big hand spread from more than ten meters to ten kilometers and thirty kilometers......

Fifty kilometers, one hundred kilometers......

Covering the sky and the sun, the entire Western world became dark, as if it had reached the end of the world in an instant.

"Isn't this talisman refined by Sect Master Feng Qingcheng of the Burning Sun Sect?Your father, are you ......" Yang Yuan was shocked.

This is actually ...... The son of Lieyang Sect Sect Master Feng Qingcheng!

No wonder he looked a little familiar just now, and he was six or seven points similar to Feng Qingcheng's appearance!

The air shook, and the palm prints had spread for a full five thousand miles, with no end in sight.

"It's all dead anyway, everyone!"

Thundered!

This Jindan Realm powerhouse, with a roar, rushed into the palm print, and suddenly his body shook and exploded abruptly.

Self-destruct!

This Feng Qingcheng's son, the young sect master of the Lieyang Sect, actually blew himself up and died.

The blood immediately dyed the Heaven Destroying Talisman in the air completely red.

Feeling the blood, the palm print seemed to be stimulated, and with a sound of "boom!", it doubled again, from a length of 5,000 miles to 5,000 kilometers!

Twice as many as the palm prints of the previous life!

This guy actually sacrificed with his own blood, which made the palm print even bigger.

5,000 miles, which will make more than 3 billion people in the world die, twice as large...... Even though it's not above Antarctica, if it falls, it will kill an unknown number of lives.

With a "boom", the air exploded with oppression, and the heavy palms fell towards the Atlantic, like a prelude to the destruction of the world.

"It's over......"

Suspended in the air, Yang Yuan's body was cold, and he couldn't say a word.

World...... The tragedy of the previous life was staged again.

Could it be that the Dragon Abyss Realm really can't compete?
