Chapter 432: Chapter 323: Sharing the Spoils

"Rising Sun Dawn Fist!"

The light of the fist blazed like a rising and falling sun. This single punch, concentrating all of Yu Changsheng’s Physical Strength, erupted in an instant and slammed squarely into Blood Refiner’s face.

"Pfft..."

Blood Refiner’s head snapped to the side as blood streamed down his face. His mind reeled from the blow, the immense force threatening to snap his neck. A CRACK echoed as he finally reacted, his body flying backward to create distance. A miserable sight, his hair disheveled, he let out a piercing roar:

"Yu Changsheng!" ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Keep yapping!"

Undisguised killing intent erupted in Yu Changsheng’s eyes. He leaped toward Blood Refiner again and viciously slammed his body into the man’s chest!

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Blood Refiner coughed as his chest was mostly crushed in an instant. Yu Changsheng wasn’t unscathed either; he staggered back three steps, forcefully suppressing the roiling energy in his body. With a clench of his fist, a massive fireball materialized and shot toward Blood Refiner!

Blood Refiner let out a low roar, what little remained of his Sea of Blood forming layers of protection before him. Meanwhile, the Red Purgatory Dragon had somehow moved behind him, its claws slashing down viciously!

"Red Heaven-Splitting Claw!"

SHREEEAK!

Faint, dark cracks were torn in the void itself as a wild wind kicked up. Blood Refiner staggered violently; the barrage of attacks had caught him completely off guard.

At that moment, the attack the Profound Turtle had been charging finally erupted. In an instant, a blue, watery light suffused the sky. A massive phantom of the Profound Turtle materialized, slowly raising a colossal palm and squeezing it viciously!

"Shattered Abyss!"

In that instant, the void trembled. In the area covered by the Profound Turtle’s Domain Divine Technique, the Abyss of the Water Kingdom, space itself shattered like a mirror, enveloping Blood Refiner. The Power of Shattering descended, threatening to erase him from existence!

"What is this Divine Technique?!"

Blood Refiner was horrified. The composure in his eyes was completely consumed by terror. An overwhelming sense of mortal danger welled up from within, exploding like continuous thunderclaps. It felt as if every cell in his body had become a separate entity, each one screaming in panic.

Facing this mortal crisis, Blood Refiner slammed a fist against his chest and spat out a mouthful of essence blood. In that instant, he seemed to age a century, his hair turning white. At the staggering cost of his own Vitality, the Sea of Blood before him surged and transformed into an eerie Blood Lotus, enclosing him for protection.

’Hm? Still putting up a fight?!’

Panting, Yu Changsheng gritted his teeth and swallowed two more Tier Three Rejuvenating Pills. His depleted Divine Sense rapidly recovered. The next instant, the Red Purgatory Dragon erupted. Boundless Evil Fire once again swept across the sky, forming fireballs that plunged toward Blood Refiner!

"Purgatory Evil Fire!"

BOOM!

The Blood Lotus shattered, its petals withering and fading away to reveal Blood Refiner’s trembling form. The Evil Fire swiftly engulfed him, and the Power of Shattering, now unobstructed, burst forth and slowly enveloped his entire body...

Then, a network of tiny cracks began to spread from the center of Blood Refiner’s brow, reaching all the way down to his thighs. His body suddenly went rigid, eyes bulging as the terror and regret within them peaked...

"No!"

CRACK! CRACK!

His body was instantly torn to pieces, and under that same obliterating power, his Divine Soul was reduced to ashes.

Blood Refiner had fallen!

"Hah... hah... hah..."

Yu Changsheng collapsed, propping himself up with one hand as he panted heavily. His entire body was drenched in sweat, and his mind was utterly exhausted.

Even with the constant replenishment from High-Tier Elixirs, the battle had taken an immense toll on Yu Changsheng.

"Are you okay?"

Li Minghan and Jing Xueyi, who had only just regained consciousness, rushed over to help Yu Changsheng up, asking with concern.

Yu Changsheng waved a hand dismissively, swallowing a mouthful of blood as he slowly pushed himself to his feet. His cold gaze turned to the distant battle between Zhang Tianwen and Shen Xingchen.

"What? Elder Blood Refiner... was actually killed?!"

Meanwhile, Ming Feng and Ming Yun, who had been closely monitoring that fight, were instantly thrown into disarray. Their minds were completely overwhelmed by shock, a sense of absurdity, and utter disbelief.

They were all too familiar with Blood Refiner’s strength. His Sea of Blood was his Lifebound Magical Treasure; at full power, he was capable of slaying even a Late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

They had thought it was a sure victory, yet Yu Changsheng had managed to turn the tables and kill him. How could they not panic?

Especially when Yu Changsheng’s icy gaze fell upon them, the two of them shuddered in unison.

With their minds in turmoil, openings inevitably appeared in their attacks. In the next instant, Zhang Tianwen’s and Shen Xingchen’s eyes lit up.

"Our chance!"

The two seized the opportunity, instantly unleashing their strongest attacks. Brilliant Sword Light flashed and Thunderbolts crackled as a terrifying wave of power erupted.

Ming Yun and Ming Feng’s expressions changed drastically. As they gritted their teeth and defended, Zhang Tianwen and Shen Xingchen moved again.

"Countless Swords in the Sea of Stars!"

An overwhelming torrent of Sword Shadows instantly enveloped the two from every angle. It descended in a flash, carrying an unstoppable momentum that even held the might of a Golden Core expert.

"Heaven-reaching, Thunder Manipulation!"

Zhang Tianwen did likewise. Thunderbolts erupted and a Spirit Tiger roared. The ferocious assault caused the already panicked duo to completely lose their bearings. Soon after, Ming Yun and Ming Feng, the two prodigies of the Profound Yin Sect, also fell.

With that, the battle was finally over.

"Hooo..."

Seeing their exhausted expressions, Yu Changsheng didn’t hesitate. He took out two more Tier Three Elixirs and tossed them to the pair. He nodded, offering a faint, weak smile as he began to speak.
