Chapter 3611: Harming others will eventually harm yourself (1)
Tang Zhen, who had caught up from behind, made the cultivators in front feel threatened. They were also silently bearing the pressure that he brought.
On the surface, it seemed that the cultivators at the back were under more pressure, but that was not the case.
The ones who were really stressed were the cultivators who ranked higher. They had a higher chance of success and were more afraid of others snatching their opportunities.
Each step that Tang Zhen took forward would bring them an enormous pressure. They were afraid that they would be caught up and surpassed.
Compared to the cultivators behind him, they hoped that Tang Zhen would be killed and immediately stop this terrifying rapid progress.
In addition, there were some cultivators who felt conflicted and fearful because of Tang Zhen. Their divine souls, which were already affected by the rule force, became more and more distorted and chaotic.
This was an extremely dangerous situation. If this continued, Tang Zhen would definitely turn into a demon in their hearts.
The cultivators were well aware of this, but they were helpless.
The special environment of the starting ground limited their movements, and they were unable to react in time.
In the end, there were still cultivators who decided to attack Tang Zhen from a distance because they couldn’t bear the pressure.
However, such an attack was not something that could be done just because he wanted to.
In an environment where rule power was chaotic, attacking from a distance was extremely risky. Not only would it hurt others, but it would also hurt oneself.
As long as the distance between them was more than one step, it was possible that the attack would not reach, or it would be inexplicably resolved.
They would even shift their target, affecting innocent bystanders and even attacking themselves.
It was precisely because of all these disadvantages that this space was harmonious. Only when both parties were on the same step would there be a possibility of an intense battle.
It was like throwing a grenade tied to a messy rope. If you were lucky, you could throw it far and hit the target.
If they were unlucky, the grenade would explode under their feet.
Moreover, this kind of long-distance attack was equivalent to a direct challenge, which made it impossible to ease the situation.
“Go to hell!”
Along with the cultivator’s roar, a greenish-gray mottled stone spear appeared. It was covered with extremely ancient primordial runes.
It carried a world-destroying power as it viciously shot toward Tang Zhen.
The cultivator who had launched the attack had a ferocious expression on his face, as if he was suppressing a mountain of hatred.
Tang Zhen was clearly very far away from him, and there were a few cultivators between them, but his hatred was so uncontrollable.
Even the cultivators who had always been far ahead of him had never been so hated.
Therefore, some hatred always came inexplicably, and the fire that attacked the heart was also caught off guard.
Just as this cultivator launched his attack, the other cultivators along the way all showed a frightened expression.
“Damn it!”
“You’re crazy!”
“Bastard!”
The cultivators shouted in shock and became alert, in case something unexpected happened.
At the same time, Tang Zhen sensed danger approaching and immediately made defensive preparations.
There was no place to Dodge in this space. Since a cultivator had launched an attack, he could only grit his teeth and bear it.
If they were bold enough, they could also retaliate, but they would have to bear the consequences.
Tang Zhen’s eyes were ice-cold as he had already sentenced that cultivator to death.
The ancient stone spear shot towards Tang Zhen and instantly arrived in front of him.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a strange power of rules flashed and wrapped around the stone spear that was approaching.
“As expected!”
The surrounding cultivators cursed and their faces turned ashen.
99% of attacks launched in this space would be affected by the rule power, and then there would be unknown consequences.
Otherwise, the strongest cultivator would have killed all his competitors long ago. How could he have lasted until now?
He clearly knew this, yet he still launched an attack. It was simply harming others without benefiting himself.
“BOOM!”
The rune stone spear flew back, but an explosion suddenly occurred on the way, causing a cultivator to be affected on the spot.
“Bastard Qingqing!”
Fortunately, the cultivator was very experienced and had made defensive preparations in advance, which allowed him to block more than half of the violent attacks.
But even so, he was still heavily injured, and he was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
He didn’t do anything, but he was hit by the shockwaves. What could be more unlucky than this?
“Just you wait, I’ll settle this debt sooner or later!”
He didn’t hate Tang Zhen. He just stared fiercely at the cultivator who launched the attack and made a killing gesture.
There were only a few steps between them. Once he caught up to this cultivator, he would definitely make him pay a heavy price.
The few cultivators who were not affected looked relieved, but they also warned the crazy cultivator.
They weren’t affected this time, but it didn’t mean they would be so lucky the next time.
They had to issue a warning to stop such foolish actions, or else they would retaliate.
However, the cultivator who had launched the attack was like a ferocious beast as he continued to stare at Tang Zhen fiercely.
The warnings of the other cultivators didn’t affect him at all. Right now, his mind was filled with thoughts of killing Tang Zhen.
“Die, go to hell!”
The divine weapon stone spear didn’t achieve its desired effect, but the cultivator didn’t give up. He took out another stone ball the size of a human head.
The surface of the stone ball was covered with runes, and there were countless layers inside. At this moment, it was spinning rapidly.
As it was being activated, blood-colored runes appeared on the surface of the stone ball one after another.
This was another divine weapon, and it was a curse-type item. The runes were the curse attacks derived from it.
Under normal circumstances, the stone ball would cast a curse from a distance. However, it was different this time.
In order to get rid of Tang Zhen, the cultivator actually used the stone ball as a weapon and launched a double attack of physical and energy.
“Kekeke, go to hell!”
The cultivator let out a sinister and proud laugh. He completely ignored the curses and dissuasions. He only wanted to turn Tang Zhen into ashes.
He didn’t care if his actions would cause a bigger change.
At this moment, the cultivator who had been attacked by the stone spear also roared and attacked.
He was afraid that the attack would land on his head again after the other party launched it, so he chose to strike first.
The surrounding cultivators were no longer angry. Instead, their faces were filled with uncontrollable fear.
They were extremely clear about how terrifying and dangerous the starting ground was, which was why they obediently followed the rules.
They did not dare to easily violate the rules because they were afraid of the backlash attack of the rules, because they could not predict it and could not resist it.
However, that damned fool had been blinded by fear and jealousy, and had continuously done such stupid things.
Not only would he be in trouble, but he would also implicate them.
The attack had already been launched, and the situation was irreversible. The cultivators could only pray that nothing unexpected would happen.
What he was afraid of would happen.
When the cursed stone ball flew out and was attacked by the cultivator who was accidentally injured, an abnormal fluctuation of laws suddenly appeared.
All the cultivators who sensed it changed their expressions at the same time. Some of them even showed a trace of despair.
“BOOM!”
The cursed rock ball had just flown out when it suddenly exploded. Its power had increased by more than ten times.
It was wrapped in a violent and mutated rule force as it devoured the cultivator who was attacking Tang Zhen. It was so fast that the other party didn’t have the chance to Dodge.
That sinister smile instantly turned into despair and indescribable fear.
“No, I’m not.”
Perhaps this cultivator wanted to say that the one who should die was Tang Zhen. However, the rules did not give him the chance to refute.
The violent power of rules swept him up completely, and he stopped moving in an instant.
This was a supremacy cultivator, a Supreme Master who had dominated the origin realm. However, under the suppression of the rules of the starting ground, he was as weak as an ant.
The surrounding cultivators could not escape the impact of this rule power either. The impact even affected the entire space.
Just as the cultivators were both shocked and angry, trying to think of ways to protect themselves, the ancient creature suddenly roared and launched a wave of fierce attacks.
