As the Universe Turns - Chapter 575
Chapter 575 Ancient Cave
There were more and more people gathered outside, and some cultivators who didn’t know why followed. When they saw what was happening in front of them, many people were stunned. They thought to themselves, was that the abandoned disciple from Xuanqing Sect back then? Ling Yin’s only disciple … was actually able to defend against so many people on his own at this moment. He was indeed formidable.
“The Xuantian Sword Soul is in their hands. Quick!”
The attack in the crowd was getting fiercer and fiercer, and quite a few newcomers joined in. Xiao Chen gradually felt a little exhausted and looked at Hua Weiyang, “How long will it take?”
“Immediately … I’m almost done. You can hold on for a while longer!”
As Hua Weiyang spoke, he calmed down the Xuantian Sword Spirit with his spiritual power. In the end, the surroundings suddenly trembled violently. He thought that the people outside had broken through Xiao Chen’s True Essence Barrier, but after carefully sensing it, he discovered that this tremor actually came from the depths of the earth.
“What’s going on?”
The people outside were also shocked. The shock became more and more fierce. Slowly, bottomless cracks appeared on the ground. The distant mountain peaks also split open, and crushed rocks continuously fell down.
“Forget it … In short, we can’t let the two of them enter the Sword Tomb!”
The crowd outside launched another attack, and the shockwaves nearby became more and more intense. The True Essence Spirit Formation finally couldn’t hold on any longer, and it was covered in dense cracks. It could collapse at any moment under the attacks of the crowd.
“Bang!”
With a loud explosion, the True Essence Spirit Barrier finally shattered. It was also at this last moment that Hua Weiyang finally subdued the Xuantian Sword Soul. In an instant, he pulled Xiao Chen’s hand and rushed into the Sword Fiend Qi in the depths of the Sword Tomb.
“Don’t leave!”
A few elders from the Supreme Origin Dao Sect and a dozen experts from the sect rushed forward in an instant. Xiao Chen suddenly circulated all of his strength and used it to control life and death. The terrifying life and death energy instantly turned into black mist that enveloped the dozens of people.
“Watch out!”
An old man sensed how terrifying the black mist was. He instantly formed a barrier with the other senior brothers beside him and blocked the black mist. However, by the time the black mist dissipated, Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang had long disappeared.
“That was …”
The faces of the cultivators in the distance also revealed slight shock. Even though they were far away just now, they could feel that the power contained within the black mist could take their lives in almost an instant.
“Master … they ran in. What should we do now?”
A dozen more disciples flew up from within the Tai Shi Dao Sect. The leading elders looked at the black fog of Sword Fiend Qi in front of them, their faces still in shock. After a long time, they said, “Without the Xuan Tian Sword Soul, you can’t forcefully barge in. Otherwise, you will definitely be corroded by the Sword Fiend Qi …”
“Then what should we do?”
Dozens of people frowned deeply. They couldn’t enter the depths of the Sword Tomb now. Could it be that they were just watching as the two of them took the things inside?
“Don’t panic …”
At this time, an old man dressed in green walked over and looked at the boundless black fog area in front of him. He slowly said, “The vibration just now has caused the earth veins here to change. Look, the Sword Fiend Qi is seeping into the ground …”
After hearing this, the disciples immediately gazed over and found that the Sword Fiend Qi that had originally enveloped the depths of the Sword Tomb was slowly seeping into the ground. At most, the Sword Fiend Qi would dissipate within three days. At that time, they would naturally be able to enter without any obstruction.
“The injuries of the two elders have yet to recover. We need to guard against those people behind us.”
Old man Qingyi lowered his voice. He really didn’t expect that this visit to the 100,000-strong forest would be so unsuccessful. Now, the two elders were also injured. If he had known this, he would have sent more people to the sect no matter what.
“Hahaha …”
At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded from the crowd behind. A middle-aged man wearing a red robe stood up and laughed loudly at the dozens of Tai Shi Dao Sect people in front of him. “You Tai Shi Dao Sect came in this time with all your effort and cunning, but in the end, you made a wedding dress for someone else. Hahaha!”
“What are you talking about!”
On Tai Shi Dao Sect’s side, several disciples immediately glared at him angrily. The red-robed middle-aged man did not fear but laughed, “What did I say? Everyone knows that you guys still want to compete with Xuanqing Sect. Did you know that the person who entered just now came from Xuanqing Sect? So what if he killed you? Did you catch him in the end?”
“You!”
Hearing this, more than a dozen people on Tai Shi Dao Sect’s side were furious. They were just about to argue with each other when Old man Qingyi raised his hand and ordered them to go to the back. He coldly looked at the red-robed middle-aged man opposite him. “Fellow Daoist, what do you have to say? It’s good to say that you don’t need to be so gloomy. Don’t tell me you didn’t see that person’s cultivation just now?” Didn’t he also fail to retrieve the Profound Heaven Sword Soul from his hands? ”
Just as he finished speaking, the distant horizon suddenly surged with wind and clouds. A powerful aura forced over. Everyone was stunned. They looked up and saw a sword light coming from beneath the fire cloud at an extremely fast speed. It suddenly arrived.
That sword light instantly transformed into a white-bearded old man dressed in a black daoist robe. The old man looked immortal. He held a whisk in his hand and the Genuine energy enveloped his body. The surrounding Sword Fiend Qi was unable to approach his body at all. Perhaps his cultivation had already reached the Cave Ruins Realm, right?
The nearby xiuzhe were all stunned. Could it be that this person was also from Tai Shi Dao Sect? A peerless expert of the Cave Ruins Realm …
“It’s the Great Elder …”
The people from the Tai Shi Dao Sect did not expect that only the Second Elder and the Fourth Elder would come to this 100,000-strong forest this time, but they did not expect that the Great Elder would actually come in as well!
The old men were even more shocked. They hurriedly stepped forward, their faces filled with fear. They cupped their hands and said, “Greetings, Great Elder …”
“Mm …”
The old man’s expression was cold as he swept his gaze across the crowd behind him. All of them seemed to have been struck by lightning, and their entire bodies trembled. In the next moment, they didn’t even dare to move a single bit.
“Just now, I seemed to hear someone saying that I, Tai Shi Dao Sect, am inferior to Xuanqing Sect, right …”
The black-robed old man’s voice was ice-cold. As he spoke, his two gazes shot at the red-robed middle-aged man like cold arrows.
The red-robed middle-aged man instantly felt his breathing stifle. Under the pressure of the opponent’s aura, he actually didn’t dare to move a single bit. Such a terrifying aura, could it be that he was truly an expert at the Cave Ruins Realm …
At this moment, two streaks of profound light suddenly shot out of the old man’s eyes. The red-robed middle-aged man immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and continuously retreated. Blood oozed out of his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
An old man hurriedly supported him and looked at the black-robed old man in Tai Shi Dao Sect. He said, “My junior apprentice-brother is just speaking nonsense. Fellow Daoist’s cultivation is far above ours. There’s no need for him to have any general knowledge with us, right?”
The ink-robed old man’s eyes were cold, “How is my Tai Shi Dao Sect? It’s not for everyone here to comment on it. Please go ahead.” As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve and a gust of wind blew away, stifling everyone’s breathing.
Seeing that his cultivation was high, everyone knew that this place was not suitable for him to stay for long, so they didn’t say anything else and left in the distance.
When they were about to leave, Old man Qingyi walked up to the old man and whispered, “Great Elder, before …”
“Needless to say, I already know that Second Junior Brother and Fourth Junior Brother are still too careless.”
The black-robed old man raised his hand and said coldly, “Xuanqing Sect, Xiao Yichen, is that so” as he looked at the area enveloped by the layer upon layer of Sword Fiend Qi.
Seeing the coldness in his eyes, Old man Qingyi whispered again, “Those two have already entered. The Sword Fiend Qi here is too heavy. Our cultivation is too low to break through. Is Great Elder able to do anything about it?”
The black-robed old man stared at the boundless Sword Fiend Qi and remained silent. After a while, he said, “If I had already reached the Cave Ruins Realm, I would naturally be able to dissolve the Sword Fiend here without much effort. However, I came in a hurry this time, and I’m still one step away …”
Hearing this, Old man Qingyi’s heart trembled slightly. So Great Elder had not yet reached the Cave Ruins Realm? After a long time, he said, “Then … we can only wait for three days. The Sword Fiend Qi here will dissipate by itself.”
“Don’t worry, even if they find something like that, they won’t be able to bring it out of here.” The old man said coldly as he stared into the depths of the Sword Tomb.
…
At this moment, in the depths of the Sword Tomb, layers of Sword Fiend Qi could be seen enveloping them. Such a dense amount of Sword Fiend Qi would definitely corrode one’s internal organs and veins. Fortunately, Hua Weiyang and Xiao Chen had the protection of the Profound Heaven Sword Soul, blocking the layers of Sword Fiend Qi from eroding them.
However, the deeper they walked, the heavier the strange aura became. The ground began to shake again. The shaking became more and more fierce, and the two of them were about to lose their footing.
“Be careful …”
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and quickly supported Hua Weiyang. However, a sudden violent shock caused the place where the two of them were standing to suddenly collapse. At this moment, the two of them were unprepared and fell into the bottomless ancient cave. It was unknown what was waiting for the two of them beneath.
