Chapter 743: Evil Cultivators Gather

An eight-year-old child came skipping toward this side, holding a rattle made from some unknown creature and shaking it, a brilliant smile on his face.

The moment this child appeared, all the evil cultivators present retreated one after another as if they had seen a ghost, their expressions filled with extreme terror.

The person before them was no innocent, naive child, but a man-eating, bone-crushing evil cultivator of the Swaying Realm, the Plague Child! Du Wen!

Du Wen was a poison cultivator with a volatile temperament; he would often poison an entire family to death over a single disagreement and enjoyed capturing living people to test his poisons.

Among the evil cultivators of the Swaying Realm on the Withered Bone Wasteland, Du Wen was absolutely the most terrifying one.

Even Granny Insect-Heart and the others could not help but show a look of wariness on their faces.

"Since everyone is here, let us move to break the seal," said the Flame Demon Lord.

"Very well. Although this barrier is strong, it will not be difficult to break if the seven of us join forces," nodded Venerable Profound Skeleton.

"Stop the damn chatter and get on with it. I was the first to arrive and have been waiting the longest; I've long since lost my patience!"

Ying Wushou let out a cold snort and soared into the air. A black blade appeared in his hand, and terrifying energy fluctuations condensed upon the blade's body, transforming into a hundred-foot blade aura as he struck.

"Boundless Shadow Blade!"

The blade aura swept out, engulfing everything in its path; the terror of a Swaying Realm cultivator was suffocating.

Venerable Profound Skeleton followed closely behind and raised his hand. His arm instantly transformed into a ten-foot-long bone whip, which he lashed out like a giant dragon flicking its tail, carrying boundless resentment.

The Flame Demon Lord let out a roar, and the magma flowing beneath his skin seemed to boil completely. He threw a fierce punch, his violent immortal power transforming into a massive, fiery red fist that smashed forward.

Compared to the terrifying momentum of these three, Granny Insect-Heart's attack seemed much less imposing.

The green toad squatting in her left eye let out a soft croak, and a mass of white mist drifted toward the front.

Seeing this white mist, the others all showed looks of wariness; this was no ordinary mist, but the Heart-Eroding Insect Mist that Granny Insect-Heart had refined herself.

That white mist was, in reality, tens of thousands of tiny insects.

Blood Rose and Soul Fiend also attacked one after another.

Blood Rose took out her natal dharma treasure, the Weeping Blood Pipa; as the strings moved, the blood-colored sound waves took physical form and slashed out instantly!

In Soul Fiend's hand appeared an ancient lamp burning with a blue light; if one stared at the flame, one could even see twisted human figures.

A tiny spark flew from the ancient lamp toward the barrier in front.

Only Du Wen looked like he was watching a show, with no intention of attacking at all.

"Du Wen, what is the meaning of this?" Ying Wushou said coldly.

"I don't want to waste my energy. If you have an opinion, you can fight me. We can fight to the death, and then the benefits will all go to them—I have no objection." A mischievous smile appeared on Du Wen's face.

"You!" Ying Wushou's eyes widened, his gaze filled with fury.

Du Wen was clearly certain that he would not dare to make a move at this time.

"Forget it. The six of us can break the barrier just the same; don't lower yourself to his level."

Granny Insect-Heart acted as a peacemaker, giving Du Wen a way to step down.

With six Swaying Realm experts attacking with all their might, the power could be described as world-destroying.

After reaching the Seven Phases of Spirit, there was a chasm-like gap between every realm; even for top geniuses, it was not an easy task to challenge across realms at this level.

Those terrifying attacks followed one after another, slamming directly onto the barrier!

Boom!

Accompanied by a piercing roar, a massive magic array appeared in front; that array was the source of the barrier's power, preventing everyone from advancing a single step.

But under the bombardment of the six Swaying Realm experts, the array clearly could not hold for much longer.

Cracks appeared continuously on the array patterns, and the light became increasingly dim.

Ying Wushou struck with his blade again, and the entire array began to totter.

Yet, it was precisely this tottering array that managed to block everyone for another half an hour.

The evil cultivators gathered here were all extremely excited.

To be able to hold out for so long under the siege of six Swaying Realm evil cultivators, there must be rare treasures inside this barrier!

"Move aside, let me do it!"

The Flame Demon Lord was naturally hot-tempered and had long since lost patience after being blocked by this barrier for so long. He snorted coldly, and two streams of black smoke shot out from his nostrils.

The magma that had originally covered only half his body now slowly spread over his entire frame.

Fiery red light surged on the Flame Demon Lord's fist, and in a frenzy, he threw a punch, smashing heavily onto the tottering array.

His full-force punch was like the straw that broke the camel's back; after the blow landed, countless cracks instantly spread in all directions with his fist as the center.

Crack, crack, crack.

The sound of shattering rang out incessantly, and the cracks on the array grew more numerous.

"Break for me!"

Even more violent power surged from the Flame Demon Lord's body, and the crack-riddled array could no longer hold on at this moment; with a loud boom, it shattered instantly, turning into a sky full of light rain.

The barrier dissipated, and the scene inside finally appeared clearly before everyone's eyes.

A sword was suspended in mid-air.

Blue-gold radiance flowed over the blade; holiness and ferocity existed simultaneously within this sword, and blood-colored patterns spread across its body.

"That is... an Innate Supreme Treasure!"

Someone in the crowd let out an exclamation!

The sword seemed startled and vanished in an instant.

"Go!"

The four great evil leaders were the first to dash into the barrier, and Venerable Profound Skeleton and the other two followed without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing the seven great Swaying Realm evil cultivators disappear, the remaining evil cultivators could no longer hold back and began rushing in as well.

"Heavenly treasures go to those with affinity; that sword just now must have an affinity with me!"

"Bullshit! That sword is mine! If you dare to fight me for it, I'll kill your whole family!"

"Hmph, ignorant fool. Even if you have the life to get that sword, do you have the life to use it?"

The evil cultivators were like a swarm of locusts, rushing into the broken barrier all at once, fearing they would be a step behind the others.

They were all convinced that there must be countless incredible treasures inside that barrier.

During the process, some had even begun to fight among themselves.

Soon, all the evil cultivators gathered here had rushed into the broken barrier, and the vicinity became empty instead.

Just then, a figure like a banished immortal appeared silently, a kind smile on the person's face.

"With so many evil cultivators gathered here, what would I, as a member of the Benevolent Soul Society, do? It's so hard to guess~"
