Millennium Tension

Chapter 113: Stalling for Time

Jin Jun spread his arms wide and followed by black energy that began to envelop his body, the energy immediately thickened and fell to the ground and spread several tens of meters.

"Rise up, O my loyal army! Gift the world despair! Hahaha!"

Several human cultivator forms that he had swallowed into nutrients rose from the thickening pool of black energy. They were almost the same as real humans, but the difference was that they had purplish skin and dead eyes. Tens turned into hundreds quickly, all the cultivators he had just swallowed were raised up as a senseless army.

"A lousy barrier like this won't hold me back! You mortals have struggled to welcome me, I will allow you to be a part of me as my nutrition! Hahaha!" Jin Jun stretched out his pale white hand that was rapidly gathering dark energy then made a gripping hand motion.

*Crack!*

Cracking sound ran through the layered barrier and the circle of runes that had been deliberately set up to counter this. The elders who were already prepared immediately launched their attacks without waiting for the barrier to collapse soon.

"Strike with everything you can! Don't face it with direct physical contact! Black energy is very dangerous!" Elder Mo shouted loudly before launching one of his ultimate attacks as a vanguard for the others.

All the elders immediately poured out what they could from their flagship technique and their treasures. There is no shouting from the names of their moves because they are already adept at casting it all without a macro.

Hundreds of attacks with the power of Sky Spirit Realm from various types of the long-range were launched into the barrier which collapsed instantly. Jin Jun made a swift hand gesture to ward off all those trivial attacks with his dark energy.

*Crash!* *Boom!*

A strong clash ensued and Jin Jun smiled even more as he licked his lips because some of the attack energy launched at him could be absorbed as a pure spirit energy. The black energy he possesses is known as the swallow of everything in the middle realm, almost everything that is alive and has pure energy.

"Thank you for the meal. Now it's my turn to counterattack hehe... Oh no, what if your own disciples will attack you? That must be exciting hahaha! All my army, attack and slaughter what you encounter hehe haha!"

Jin Jun giggled creepily and all of his hundreds of troops that varied from the Elementary Spirit Realm to Nascent Spirit Realm immediately attacked their elders whom they no longer recognized, they were simply a mass of dark energy condensing into living puppets under Jin Jun's control.

"You cursed creature! You don't even let a dead soul go away in peace! Retreat and scatter! Take a safe distance when you strike back! Reinforcements will be here soon!" Elder Su exclaimed loudly in a state that was starting to panic.

As the vice leader of the current elder team, Elder Su's voice was immediately followed by all the elders and disciples who had returned. They all retreated and spread out within a safe distance while continuing to attack, but did not escape from there as a much bigger impact would have been possible if this creature moved away from here.

Although the hundreds of troops were not enveloped in dangerous black energy like Jin Jun's, all cultivators were extremely vigilant in this deadly battle.

Elder Wei and Elder Fan who were protecting the six girls paused for a moment then nodded after looking at each other. They combined their spirit energy and then made a large bluish circle rune that quickly appeared below them and then flew into the air.

From that bluish circle launched thousands of sharp ice swords all approaching creatures and Jin Jun was no exception. The two elders didn't wait for the results from they could do with the combined technique and continued moving along with the six girls.

"Impossible" Lin Yu looked at the enemy troops that were hit by the hail of blades slowly regaining their full form as if they were made of dark liquid.

"Arrgghh!" The hysterical shout of one of the elders who was choked by Jin Jun seemed to echo in the ears of the entire elders who were attacking hundreds of troops.

Slowly but surely the elder's body was devoured by black energy and dissipated to bone ashes, with a clear cry of agony he felt as his body was being eaten away by the black energy in a living and conscious state.

Not only was Lin Yu trembling at this tragic and sadistic incident, Feng Zhi and the other four junior girls also shivered with pale faces when they saw the elder being swallowed up by black energy, but they kept moving on the orders of the three elders who were with them.

"Yum... Sky Spirit Realm's body is quite delicious compared to those brats earlier. Be proud of yourself to be my first nutrition when I just appeared into the world hehe haha!" Jin Jun laughed happily as he felt slowly healing the wounds in his spirit even though his strength was still stable at 5th Sky Spirit Realm.

"Elder Ho! So this is meant to be swallowed up as nutrients by the disciples who managed to escape from you! You will be punished by heaven, damned creature!"

An elder exclaimed while dodging the purplish-skinned creature's attack. All of the former disciples who became the army of cursed creatures were no longer human but dead puppets who could recover.

"Heaven? If he comes I'll swallow him, I'll be happy if he comes and meets me soon hehe... You seem brave too, huh? I'll make you the next one." Jin Jun sped up and appeared beside the elder who cursed him earlier.

The elder who was somewhat surprised by Jin Jun's sudden appearance immediately slashed through his treasured sword with full energy.

*clang!*

Jin Jun caught the slash with ease and smiled creepily at the wide-eyed elder in disbelief. The Sky Spirit Realm elder's slash was caught empty-handed that was enveloped in black energy, a feat that would be impossible for any other Sky Spirit Realm expert to accomplish.

"What creature are you !? You are clearly in the 5th Sky Spirit Realm!"

"Didn't I introduce myself to all of you? I am Jin Jun, Almighty Sovereign Of Hell! Now become my nutrition!" Jin Jun exclaimed with a wide grin while grabbing onto the neck of the old man in front of him.

"Not so fast! Take this!"

The combined attacks of the five elders who had already prepared with their rune traps immediately launched and blocked Jin Jun's movement then knocked him down with superhuman gravity.

The elder who slashed Jin Jun previously deliberately appeared as bait to get the main enemy into the trap. Now he looked seriously at Jin Jun lying on the ground.

*Slash!*

The elder quickly beheaded Jin Jun in hopes that this cursed creature would perish and then retreated. The attack didn't end just like that, the other five elders detonated the circle of trap runes so that all of the cursed creature's body was destroyed.

*Boom!*

A powerful explosion occurred which seemed to scorch Jin Jun's body to ashes. Unfortunately, their target is no longer there. Right behind the elder who slashed Jin Jun earlier, there appeared a turbulent dark liquid from the ground and formed the form of a human.

"Not bad tricks, but not enough. Thank me for making you my nutrition." Jin Jun choked the elder from behind and swallowed quickly, followed by a hysterical scream.

"Now is your turn hehe."

"We're ready to die if it's to stop a cursed creature like you!" One of the elders of the five-person elder group shouted and then launched a suicide technique while charging towards Jin Jun, ignoring their defense and focusing on attacking.

The close combat between the five Sky Spirit Realm masters against Jin Jun was so intense and dragged away for some time that five of them detonated their spirit energy at zero distance after they reached their limit. Rather than being swallowed up as nutrients, it was better to blow themselves up as a last resort.

*Boom!* X5

Five continuous zero-range explosions grounded a distance of tens of meters. Trees and rocks disappeared, followed by a deep crater on the ground.

"Damn!" Jin Jun appeared again somewhere not far from the explosion with an annoyed face. He wasted five delicious nutrients that were desperate to die.

He then looked around for the next prey, all the elders who were keeping their distance were fighting close or long distance and some kept dodging while watching the situation. But none of them escaped from there.

Jin Jun felt that something was off because they all looked like they were buying time for reinforcements. He didn't know the reinforcements they mentioned earlier but somehow he thought the reinforcements in question were that bastard duo squad.

Since he was found by Feng Wuhan and awakened in a weak state in his ring on this planet and his divine body that was sealed was also in the artificial realm on this planet, the bastard duo was also here and he was sure of that.

Jin Jun didn't know that the Zhao sisters had died to separate his form to seal his body and soul, he was lucky to be able to save his spirit as a final step to save himself.

But his guess is actually correct, the two of them are trapped in a subtle existence with the threat of vanishing in nothingness for some time and finally join Aizen's group. They will soon be hunting him.

"Damn, if I keep stuck here maybe the bastard duo will come here. I'm not ready to fight them with my strength right now. I need more nutrition."

Jin Jun decided to leave this mortals here who seemed to be deliberately buying time with his minions army after swallowing several dozens Sky Spirit Realm and Earth Spirit Realm elders. After that, he immediately ran towards a nearby town, a place that had many lives to restore his wounds and power
