Chapter 2516 - 2515: The Power of Corrosion

"What exactly happened? Have we figured it out?"

Feng Wuchen asked gravely, his face already darkened to the extreme.

The Heavenly Fight Holy Temple was massacred, Yi Qingyun’s life hung in the balance, Huo Lingtian and Feng Xiaotian were also missing, igniting Feng Wuchen’s rage.

"Brother Feng, we’ve been investigating the North Domain for several days, asking many people, but they all don’t know what happened. All they know is that the Heavenly Fight Holy Temple was massacred; it’s the same for any forces related to the temple. We are now at the Alchemist Holy Tower," Seven Xiao transmitted telepathically.

"Could Elder Soul Extinction not know either?" Feng Wuchen asked telepathically.

"They don’t know either," Seven Xiao replied telepathically.

Feng Wuchen had arrived at the Heavenly Fight Holy Temple by now, his anger suddenly erupted upon witnessing the scene before him, murderous intent surging up to the heavens.

Yi Qingyun was groomed by Feng Wuchen to expand and strengthen in the North Domain, yet now he was wholly extinguished.

"Dantong, the Heavenly Fight Holy Temple in the North Domain was massacred, do none of you know?" Feng Wuchen asked telepathically, barely suppressing his inner fury.

"The Heavenly Fight Holy Temple was massacred?" Dantong abruptly opened her eyes, full of shock.

"Brother Feng, the North Domain is not the realm of the Dragon God Clan. The massacre of the Heavenly Fight Holy Temple is unknown to us, what happened really?" Dantong asked telepathically, already heading towards the North Domain.

"I don’t know either," Feng Wuchen replied angrily.

"Did the Martial Soul Holy Palace interfere with the North Domain?" Feng Wuchen asked, immediately suspecting the Martial Soul Holy Palace.

"The Martial Soul Holy Palace’s influence is widespread in the Holy Realm; aside from the Dragon God Realm, it’s also present in the North Domain, Southern Domain, and Western Region, and there are other forces we don’t know about," Dantong conveyed telepathically.

What worried Feng Wuchen the most was Dragon Soul, which was secretly established and hadn’t yet strengthened, yet now its fate was uncertain.

Feng Wuchen fully activated the Divine Power of Time, attempting to control the flow of time backward.

However, Feng Wuchen was disappointed as the scene of time rewinding was very blurry, rendering the assailant’s identity unseen.

Perhaps Feng Wuchen’s cultivation was too weak to manage such an excessively powerful feat.

Soon enough, Dantong appeared by teleporting.

Seeing the blood-soaked aftermath at the Heavenly Fight Holy Temple, Dantong’s face also darkened to the extreme.

"Did you find any clues?" Dantong asked.

"Nothing found," Feng Wuchen shook his head gloomily.

"The Heavenly Fight Holy Temple merely pledged allegiance to us; it doesn’t actually count as a force under the Dragon God Holy Temple. After all, our people are not in the North Domain. If you hadn’t said, I wouldn’t have known," Dantong said with a furrowed brow, glancing at the furious Feng Wuchen.

"It’s not just the Heavenly Fight Holy Temple; Huo Lingtian and the others are also confirmed dead or missing," Feng Wuchen said grimly.

With a wave of his hand, Wu Fire shot out from Feng Wuchen; wherever it passed, slaughtered cultivators turned to dust and vanished with the wind.

"Rest in peace. I, Feng Wuchen, will definitely uncover the truth of your deaths and avenge you," Feng Wuchen growled through clenched teeth, his immense killing intent erupting wildly.

The Heavenly Fight Holy Temple was massacred, and no one knew who did it, nor were there any clues.

Feng Wuchen had no idea where to start the investigation.

"Dantong, is there a way?" Feng Wuchen asked, his gaze fixed on Dantong.

Dantong didn’t answer but focused on the wound of a deceased body.

"Brother Feng, stop it!" Dantong quickly shouted.

Feng Wuchen waved his hand, Wu Fire disappeared, and he urgently asked, "Did you find something?"

"This wound..." Dantong frowned deeply.

The deceased had a wound on the chest—a bloody five-mark scratch.

Though they appeared to be inflicted by a sharp weapon, upon closer inspection, the wound also showed signs of corrosion.

"What’s wrong with this wound? Do you recognize it?" Feng Wuchen pursued urgently, sensing this might be the only clue.

"Not that I recognize it, but the Grand Commander of God Shadow once told me about such a wound. It’s not inflicted by a weapon; rather, it’s an injury from a force, and there’s evidence of corrosion. I didn’t pay attention at the time; the Grand Commander of God Shadow should know and certainly recognizes this wound," Dantong said gravely, transmitting to the Grand Commander of God Shadow immediately.

Upon closer inspection, Feng Wuchen confirmed that the wound indeed showed signs of corrosion, right on the edge.

"A force-inflicted wound? With corrosive capabilities?" Feng Wuchen frowned deeply, never having heard of such a force, nor seen it.

Shortly, the Grand Commander of God Shadow instantaneously arrived.

"Supreme Lord!" The Grand Commander respectfully greeted.

"Grand Commander, quickly look at this wound!" Feng Wuchen urged.

"Yes!" The Grand Commander approached; upon his first look at the wound, his face changed drastically, trembling involuntarily.

The Grand Commander said in horror, "It’s him!"

"Grand Commander, do you know who’s responsible? I recall you mentioning this wound, but I didn’t pay attention then," Dantong inquired.

The Grand Commander’s expression was somewhat horrified; he said, "I know, I know this wound. Three years ago, under the orders of the Great Elder, I was sent to the North Domain to assassinate Wu Kui when I encountered a mysterious person. This person’s strength was equal to mine; he intervened to rescue Wu Kui. The force he wielded was extremely strange, with corrosive abilities. I failed the mission because of him, and Wu Kui vanished as a result."

As he spoke, the Grand Commander rolled up his sleeve, revealing his arm, where an identical bloody scar remained, with visible signs of corrosion.

"The wound is exactly the same!" Dantong exclaimed in shock.

"This was thanks to him three years ago; it hasn’t healed at all. If not for the Great Elder’s Saintly Honor power and miraculous Spiritual Liquid, I might not have survived. This corrosive force can devour blood, truly terrifying. Due to this, my advancement in cultivation has stagnated for three years, even the Great Forefather was powerless. No one has encountered such bizarre corrosive power," the Grand Commander said gravely.

While speaking, the Grand Commander gently touched the corpse, which instantly turned to dust!

Clearly, the corpse was completely corroded, though it still maintained its original shape.

Such extremely bizarre power was absolutely terrifying.

"The moment they died, they were already completely corroded," the Grand Commander stated.

Feng Wuchen asked with a frown, "Then do you know who possesses this power?"

"I’ve been investigating for three years but have found nothing; it’s like this person’s existence is nonexistent," the Grand Commander shook his head.

"Nothing found?" Feng Wuchen was deeply disappointed, his heart sinking to the depths.

With such brutal perpetrators, Huo Lingtian and Yi Qingyun were likely already victims of a gruesome fate.

"Yi Qingyun isn’t someone who stirs trouble or provokes anyone; why did this person target the Heavenly Fight Holy Temple?" Dantong was utterly puzzled.

Feng Wuchen clenched his teeth in fury, "No matter who he is, I’ll definitely drag him out!"
