Chapter 77: Tian Mu Terminator! Four-Star Dou Sheng Peak!

"The Tian Mu opens once every twenty years; perhaps over this long span of one hundred and twenty years, some changes have occurred……"

"One can only say it's normal enough!"

Xiao Yan observed his surroundings while speaking softly to Xun Er beside him.

The mist in all directions wrapped them tightly.

They could only hold hands.

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xun Er nodded lightly.

"Perhaps, but even if there are changes, the number of Energy Bodies has decreased too outrageously."

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, her eyes revealing a trace of worry.

She did not know what exactly had happened in this Tian Mu.

Next, the two continued to explore forward carefully.

A faint bloody smell permeated the mist.

Occasionally, they would encounter a few Energy Bodies that had escaped disaster in Yun Yi's hands.

For them, this was just like finding treasure.

Xiao Yan and Xun Er exchanged a glance, instantly understanding each other, and both swiftly attacked.

The Xuanzhong Ruler in Xiao Yan's hand, accompanied by a roar of rage from him, fiercely cleaved toward the Energy Body.

Xun Er, on the other hand, rapidly formed seals with both hands, chanting softly, a ray of pale golden Dou Qi light shot from her palm, forming a strange light seal that coordinated with Xiao Yan's attack.

Under their joint efforts, this Energy Body was quickly taken down. After the Energy Body dissipated, both Xiao Yan and Xun Er had helplessness on their faces.

They had originally thought that after entering this Tian Mu, it would be a hearty, unrestrained slaughter.

As a result, these Energy Bodies all needed to be searched for half a day just to find one or two.

The Energy Cores were not enough for the two of them to split.

This Tian Mu land had been turned alive into a treasure hunt……

Not only them; at this moment, in several other places in the Tian Mu, those people from the other clans who had entered the Tian Mu all had the same feeling.

On the Yan Clan's side, those who entered were Huo Xuan and Huo Zhi.

Huo Xuan was tall and stout, his muscles bulging, a head of red hair like burning flames, exceptionally conspicuous in the mist.

At this moment, he was looking around impatiently with a face full of annoyance.

"This broken place, where did all the Energy Bodies run off to?"

Huo Xuan frowned and complained loudly; he forcefully kicked a stone under his foot, the stone drawing an arc in the mist before vanishing without a trace.

Beside him, Huo Zhi wore a veil on her face, her eyes like lively flames.

She wore a red long dress, her figure graceful, the skirt swaying in the wind, like a burning flame.

Right now, she was lowering her head in thought, turning a deaf ear to Huo Xuan's complaints.

"What exactly happened?"

Huo Xuan spoke again, carrying a hint of vexation.

After experiencing half a month, the two of them were considered to have advanced the farthest.

Along the way, they had not seen many Energy Bodies.

This was not quite the same as what their ancestors had left behind.

Disbelieving, they even swiftly broke into the central region of the Tian Mu's first layer, but it was the same here.

The number of Energy Bodies was pitifully few.

Huo Zhi lightly bit her lip, pondered for a moment, then said, "Could it be that they were cleared out in advance by some powerful existence?"

"But how is that possible? Who has such great ability?"

"Hmph, no help for it; let's walk further ahead and see."

Having spoken, Huo Xuan strode forward with large steps.

Huo Zhi shook her head helplessly and hurriedly followed.

Besides them, the situations encountered by the Stone Clan, Medicine Clan, Ancient Clan, and others were all the same.

Therefore, in this first layer of the Tian Mu, most people did not stop to Cultivate, but walked forward with hearts full of doubt.

……

"Boom!"

Between the mist-shrouded heaven and earth, the blood fiend qi spread out like surging tides.

Yun Yi was like a killing god come from purgatory; in this one month, he crazily captured those Energy Bodies.

His figure moved freely through the mist; every time he struck, it was accompanied by a flash of dazzling blood-colored light, immediately followed by the Energy Body's dissipation.

In just this one month's time, he had already slain no fewer than ten thousand Dou Zun-level Energy Bodies.

Yun Yi immersed himself in this crazy slaughter; every time he slew an Energy Body, a strand of majestic Cultivation Base feedback fused into his body.

At the same time, he also rapidly absorbed their Energy Cores.

Although a single Energy Core alone had no obvious effect on raising his Cultivation Base.

However, as the quantity continuously accumulated, quantitative change triggered qualitative change!

Yun Yi's original Four-Star Dou Sheng early-stage Cultivation Base, in this crazy slaughter and absorption, was forcibly raised to the late stage.

"Time to go to the second layer!"

Yun Yi felt the surging power within his body, his gaze determined as he rushed toward that energy light wall at the end of his sight.

When Yun Yi entered the second layer, he immediately felt that the overall strength of the Energy Bodies here was a notch stronger than the first layer.

But to him, there was no difference.

Only to see him wave his large hand, a powerful Absorption Force surged from his palm, pulling numerous Energy Bodies over.

For a time, mist shrouded the earth as lightning flashed, and Yun Yi was the source of that lightning!

Moving through it at extreme speed, Yun Yi slaughtered madly and seized energy cores.

Moreover, the range of the second layer was far smaller than the first, making it much easier for Yun Yi to find energy bodies.

"Come on, let me become stronger!"

Such mad slaughter made even Yun Yi himself feel a long-lost excitement.

As time passed, Yun Yi's slaughter in this region continued unceasingly.

Finally, Yun Yi's own strength had reached the peak of four stars!

"Perhaps this Heavenly Tomb Trip can raise my strength to the five-star level."

Yun Yi's gaze looked toward the distance.

There, just like the entrance to the second layer, there was an energy wall pouring down from the horizon.

However, the energy wall here had crystallized, like a huge crystal barrier, radiating five-colored light.

To pass through, one needed to blast it open.

"The third layer has energy cores at the Dou Saint level……"

Desire showed in Yun Yi's eyes, a near-frenzied desire for slaughter and strength.

"Zizi zi!!"

Lightning raged all around him as he slammed fiercely into the crystal wall.

Powerful lightning struck the crystal wall forcibly, emitting a deafening roar.

However, within this crystal wall were Ancient Devouring Insects.

Although these Ancient Devouring Insects were tiny, dense as ants, they could secrete a special mucus to repair the crystal wall.

They sensed the crystal wall being attacked and immediately secreted mucus madly to repair it.

"Hmph, just you?"

Yun Yi coldly snorted once, then fiercely struck out with a palm.

Powerful force exploded instantly, directly blasting a pit tens of zhang wide.

The replenishment speed of these Ancient Devouring Insects could not keep up at all, unable to pose a threat to him.

After Yun Yi passed through the crystal wall, his gaze swept around and he found the Insect Mother.

His heart stirred; this thing, if made into inner armor, would surely have decent defense, and could be given to Yun'er.

Thinking so, he casually put the Insect Mother away.

……

"Just what is going on, this second layer……"

A young Strongman of the Medicine Clan arrived at the second layer with an unsightly expression.

He looked around, originally expecting to find many energy bodies here for cultivation and strength increase, but the scene before his eyes greatly disappointed him.

"The energy bodies here are even rarer……"

He simply could not understand.

The first layer had few, so why were the energy bodies of the second layer equally so few?

This was completely different from the Heavenly Tomb situation they had previously learned about.

Moreover, if they still could not find energy bodies, then the results of this entry into the Heavenly Tomb would be far worse than imagined.
