Chapter 118: Xun Er: Even He Has Come, Is There Still Hope for the Bodhi Supreme Treasure?
As time passed, more and more forces arrived at the Ancient Domain Platform to wait.
Even super clans like the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan had already come here.
They had all heard of that temporary safe point filled with killing intent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure everyone is aware that the Primeval Ancient Domain is teeming with demonic beasts."
"And the deeper we go, the stronger the demonic beasts become; if we go alone, we are simply walking to our deaths."
On the Ancient Domain Platform, a youth of the Soul Clan spoke loudly.
This person was named Hun Yu, a possessor of the Soul Clan's Divine-grade bloodline.
At this moment, he exuded the aura of a peak Dou Zun, making him a powerhouse even among this crowd.
"So we must join forces if we are to have a glimmer of hope for survival!"
Hun Yu's gaze swept over the crowd below the platform, intending to recruit all the cultivators here to charge toward the deepest part of the Primeval Ancient Domain and resist the beast tide that could arrive at any moment.
But those who could come here now were certainly not fools.
Upon hearing this, the other forces all harbored doubts in their hearts.
"Hmph, you people of the Soul Clan, surely you don't intend to use us as cannon fodder to fight those demonic beasts first, do you?"
Suddenly, a voice rang out from the crowd.
"Hmph, this brat of the Soul Clan actually talks about joining forces; he really thinks the people here are fools."
Afterward, an old man frowned and muttered in a low voice.
After all, although the Soul Clan was considered a super clan in the Central Plains, the impression they gave people was never very good.
Especially the cruel methods of the Soul Palace, which had long been infamous.
"Exactly, who knows what he's plotting?"
A lean middle-aged man beside the old man chimed in.
Xiao Yan, Xun'er, and the others of the Ancient Clan gathered together, all frowning as they looked at Hun Yu.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Hun Yu who was still giving a passionate speech, "This person definitely has ulterior motives."
Xun'er had her long hair tied behind her back; her tight-fitting outfit accentuated her slender waist to the fullest.
At this moment, as her beautiful eyes shifted, she let out a slow sigh.
"However, for now, we don't have a better option."
"Even if we are unwilling, we can only go along with what he says."
"Once we are separated from the group, we will have to face countless demonic beasts alone."
At this moment, this Hun Yu of the Soul Clan seemed to see the doubts of the crowd; he smiled slightly and pretended to be generous as he explained, "Everyone, rest assured, our Soul Clan is willing to stand at the very front of the team and clear the way for everyone!"
"There is absolutely no intention to harm anyone!"
Upon hearing this, the doubts in the hearts of many people from other forces were significantly dispelled.
After all, if the Soul Clan was truly willing to take the lead, no matter how fierce the beast tide was, everyone would indeed feel much more at ease.
"Alright, then as Young Master Hun Yu said, let's charge together!"
"Charge!"
Since the Soul Clan said so, more and more people responded.
Next, everyone charged out together.
Hun Yu and the other powerhouses of the Soul Clan indeed stood at the very front, leading everyone toward the depths of the Primeval Ancient Domain.
Along the way, demonic beasts rushed out from all directions.
Hun Yu indeed lived up to his previous promise of leading by example; streams of black Dou Qi surged out, instantly slaying several demonic beasts.
Under his leadership, the members of the Soul Clan also fought bravely, which completely put the other forces behind them at ease.
However, when the beast tide became increasingly fierce and the crowd was forced to cluster together with no way to retreat, Hun Yu and the powerhouses of the Soul Clan quietly slipped into the middle of the group.
Those ordinary cultivators who had originally followed at the back were instantly pushed to the front, becoming cannon fodder to block the beast tide.
Countless people screamed in the beast tide, torn into pieces by demonic beasts, their blood staining the earth red.
Beast tides from all directions surrounded the crowd.
"We must break out!"
Xiao Yan and Xun'er led the powerhouses of the Ancient Clan and charged straight in one direction.
Seeing more and more people dying, the other forces also prepared to break out in different directions.
Eventually, only a few people, stepping on the corpses of others, managed to break through the encirclement.
And just then, in the direction Xiao Yan's side had chosen to break out, they encountered a strange area again.
Like the previous temporary safe zone, this place was filled with dense killing intent, permeated with red mist, and reeked of blood!
And as soon as Xiao Yan and the others arrived in this area, the ferocious beasts behind them actually dared not pursue anymore.
This allowed Xiao Yan's group to breathe a sigh of relief.
"This aura is like that guy."
At this time, looking at the killing intent around them, Xun'er frowned, a hint of suspicion flashing in her eyes.
She had felt this way in the temporary safe zone before, but back then she wasn't sure.
Now encountering such a strange area again made her feel it was even more likely.
Xiao Yan was more familiar with Yun Yi, and he had already been guessing this in his heart.
Upon hearing Xun'er say it out loud, he also nodded slightly.
"Could it be that this person has been here before?"
After all, Yun Yi's body carried this extremely terrifying killing intent.
And just as the two were speaking, at the end of their line of sight, in the center of the beast tide, a figure flew past indifferently.
Wherever he passed, the beasts retreated in droves, as if encountering some terrifying existence.
"It really is him!"
Xiao Yan saw that figure and stared with wide eyes in shock.
He recognized him—Yun Yi!
Seeing these fierce beasts instinctively fear Yun Yi's aura, Xiao Yan's heart trembled somewhat.
Exactly how many fierce beasts must be slain for the beasts deep in this Huang Mang Ancient Domain to fear him so!
But Yun Yi's appearance at this moment gave the beast tide a slight opening.
"Follow!"
Xiao Yan without hesitation charged toward the direction where Yun Yi's figure had disappeared.
Xun Er brought the other Ancient Clan youths closely following behind.
……
Yun Yi continued deeper.
In a short while, he arrived at a plain.
This plain was extremely vast.
At the center of the plain stood a towering ancient tree several thousand zhang tall.
This tree was entirely emerald green, and its mere presence released astonishing vitality!
It was precisely the Bodhi Ancient Tree!
At this time, elites from the Soul Clan, Yan Clan, Thunder Clan, and some other powerful forces had all arrived here.
As for those behind, most had become cannon fodder in the previous beast tide and slaughter.
Arriving here, no one dared act rashly.
A special aura permeated around the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
So they all slowly approached with caution.
Afterward, they saw five puppets around the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
These five puppets emanated Half-Saint auras, their gazes hollow, staring at everyone without emotion.
But it was precisely these five Half-Saints that made even these elites dare not approach rashly again.
"Whoosh!"
Just as everyone wanted to observe more, a figure flew from behind.
This figure had a cold expression; upon seeing the five Half-Saint puppets, he raised his hand and struck a palm!
A blood-red palm print flew out instantly.
"Boom!"
Under this palm, the five puppets instantly turned to powder and dissipated into nothingness.
"Who is this person?"
This scene made the elites of the Soul Clan, Yan Clan, Thunder Clan, etc., stare with wide eyes.
One palm slaying five Half-Saints!
And it was complete domination!!
Most of them did not know Yun Yi, and were inwardly shaken by the terrifying strength he displayed.
"That... is Yun Yi!!!"
Of course, among the elites of these Ancient Races, some also recognized Yun Yi.
After all, Yun Yi had been to Gu Jie.
Dealing with these puppets, Yun Yi did not linger at all, charging straight for the tree trunk.
"Charge!"
Although these people of the Ancient Races feared Yun Yi's terrifying cultivation base, such a level of opportunity as the Bodhi Ancient Tree was right before their eyes—how could they abandon it!
Immediately they gritted their teeth one by one and also charged toward the tree trunk!
"Even he has come..."
Xiao Yan followed behind Yun Yi, watching him charge toward the Bodhi Ancient Tree's trunk, feeling somewhat uneasy in his heart.
"Then this Bodhi treasure, do I still have a chance?"
But uneasy as it was, what should be charged still had to be charged.
Immediately Xiao Yan and Xun Er and the others also timed it, following the crowd to charge toward the tree trunk.
Just as everyone approached the tree trunk, suddenly space surged like waves, and the Bodhi Ancient Tree suddenly burst forth with dazzling radiance.
This radiance was like a curtain of light, swiftly descending and drawing everyone into it...
Yun Yi could resist, but he smiled faintly on his face, allowing the ancient tree to draw him in as well.
