Chapter 333

While pondering, a heaven-reaching immortal intent suddenly bloomed in the dark mountain forest in front of the Wan Stone Mountain Range.

That immortal intent was like a folding fan opened toward the sky, carrying scorching and dazzling white light, crashing down amidst the misty sea of ten thousand acres of forest.

The thick fog drifting in the forest was instantly torn to shreds, engulfed by the ten thousand layers of soil waves stirred up, causing the yellow and white to mix into one.

Seeing this scene, countless figures on the Wan Stone peaks rose one after another.

Subsequently, tens of thousands of cultivators soared into the air, coming from the mountains in a dense swarm, instantly rushing into the forest like a torrential downpour.

The flowing spiritual energy surrounding them was like a vortex with powerful twisting force, instantly tearing all the flat forest fog to shreds.

The heaven-reaching powers at the perfection of the Upper Five Realms had already torn open the obstacles in front, suppressing those ferocious and constantly evil-corrupted monsters and killing them for ten miles; they could not wait any longer.

After all, if the distance were to become too great, they would very likely be unable to keep up with those great powers.

The closer to the ruins, the more intense the killing intent would inevitably become; if they were too far from those great powers, they might be directly scattered.

Amidst the whistling, the tens of thousands of cultivators who landed continued to move forward along the thick fog.

Their direction of advance was from west to east, and while advancing, they began to disperse toward the north and south.

Therefore, the locations of the ruins were clearly distributed on the old imperial tomb belt of the Remnant Race spanning the borders of the five provinces, and the intervals between them were also very far; the advantage of doing this was being able to push horizontally, gathering the encirclement momentum again without leaving a blade of grass, and similarly binding all the ruins in a strip-like fashion.

"The surroundings of the ruins must be filled with murderous intent; remember to be cautious when you go in."

Ji You turned his head to look at Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu: "If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up; if you feel you cannot carry it, following behind others is not necessarily a bad thing."

Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu nodded obediently upon hearing this: "We will listen to the Young Master."

"Remember to say hello to Gongshu Chou for me."

"Young Master must also be careful, do not always be the one who is tall; the Inspector said she will eventually find a tool person to continue the bloodline, so it is best if you do not have any accidents, Young Master."

Ji You knew the tsundere ghost's style of being hard-mouthed, and after hearing this, he looked at the two of them: "Before such a great disaster, my combat power is not enough to look at, but it will certainly not be easy before reaching the ruins; currently, timing is the most important thing. After reaching the ruins, taking action will naturally be the business of the big shots."

After simple instructions, Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu bowed and chased after the Spirit Sword Mountain disciples, while Ji You went with the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciples, landing in the mountain forest while stepping through the air, and rushed into the depths of the dense forest together with the mighty crowd.

The thick fog here was extremely deep, gloomy and dark, as if a layer of filter had been attached before everyone's eyes, refracting the sky above their heads into a strange color of yellow mixed with green.

The surrounding air was also very viscous, and there were dust-like granular substances floating in it, constantly stimulating everyone's sense of smell.

The location of the Great Wilderness Forest should be on the southwest side...

Ji You flew continuously, while constantly recalling the distribution locations of those ruins, adjusting the direction of his pace.

However, just as they were about to catch up with those Xian Sect great powers, a streak of black line attacked from the thick fog, stretching endlessly, and then constantly bending before everyone's eyes.

Almost in an instant, ear-piercing shrieks surged from all directions.

Countless evil seeds were like waves crashing against the shore, running wildly toward them, instantly pouncing to the front with swaying, heaven-ascending killing intent.

Just from the feeling of the aura, the Xian Sect and aristocratic family members entering the forest knew that these evil seeds were stronger than those causing chaos in the world outside, and naturally more brutal and greedy.

These should be those original Xian Sect members.

They were transported by the Bu family to various secret stone caves, and when the tide of corpses erupted, they surged out together, then went against the current to gather around the ruins, becoming guardians.

At this time, Ji You summoned a heavy profound iron bow from his white jade gourd, and as his arms tightened, the bowstring was also pulled to the limit at high speed.

Hum!!!!

The high-speed arrows flew away, piercing through the front, shooting out a surge of black fog.

Under the encounter of the moment, the chaotic battle instantly began.

At this moment, the Asking Dao Sect was far ahead.

The most terrifying thing about large-scale warfare is being cut off, scattered, and finally besieged on a small scale.

Their best choice now is not to fight calmly, but to charge and kill quickly, and they cannot be too far away from the heaven-reaching great powers like the Hall Masters and Pavilion Masters in front.

Then the speed of breaking through the tide of corpses is naturally the key here.

In other words, in terms of human-to-human combat, these evil seeds are considered easy to kill, but they will inevitably be intercepted; the most important thing is large-scale killing.

At this time, the Asking Dao Sect's Holy Son floated in the front, and the constantly trembling immortal tripod killed within the tide of corpses.

Amidst the mystical heavenly patterns, immortal light constantly flowed on the surface of this replica immortal tripod, finally condensing into the Heavenly Dao laws circling the roots, and what was converted was powerful attack power.

The man with flying brocade clothes was like entering an uninhabited land, and between his waves, a swathe of broken limbs scattered.

The Asking Dao Sect members followed closely behind, clearing the surrounding evil corpses under the protection of the holy artifact, and their pace did not slow down in the slightest.

At the same time, Huo Xingzhong and the Chen twin siblings also soared into the air, and the white jade Dao stele and the eight-sided heavenly bell roared away.

The huge heavenly bell fell into the tide of corpses, and the vibrating killing power from the Heavenly Dao instantly spread with a deep bell sound, instantly tearing a gap in the tide of corpses in front.

At the same time, the white jade Dao stele also had immortal light flowing, and the immortal light whistled away from the surface of the stele, burning the swarming evil seeds into dust flying in the sky.

The importance of the sect's Holy Son was highlighted to the fullest at this moment, and the idea of the Xian Sect's might, and that they would inevitably become giants in charge of the world after many years, also went deeper into people's hearts at this moment.

And in this process, the direct disciples of the three sects were also observing each other, which also carried some intention of comparison.

"The Asking Dao Sect's immortal tripod is truly as the rumors say, shaking the eight directions with its might."

"Brother Huo is too modest; the heavenly bell of your Mountain Sea Pavilion is truly what makes people marvel, its crushing momentum is comparable to the sky falling."

"Then why not compare, which of us two will kill our way out of this tide of corpses first?"

Shang Senior Xi Yao did not make a sound, but the immortal tripod sacrificed in front of him instantly expanded several times, and more powerful immortal light constantly surged from his tripod.

The six great Xian Sects are harmonious on the surface, but in reality, it is just a relationship of relative checks and balances.

After the calamity is settled, the strength of the Xian Sect will be damaged, countless aristocratic families will be destroyed, and this world is destined to be chaotic for a long time, and fighting for power is inevitable.

At this time, showing the sect's might is particularly important, especially in front of another Xian Sect that is also in the Southern Border and has always been ambitious.

Shang Senior Xi Yao narrowed his eyes, carrying a cold and arrogant killing intent as he suppressed the tide of corpses.

And just as he reopened the situation, a burst of chattering discussions gradually began to sound behind him.

Several direct disciples looked over upon hearing the sound, and saw many disciples looking toward the south.

With their own direct Holy Son pressing the formation in front, the disciples at the very back would naturally be much more relaxed, and would have more attention to pay to the movements of other Xian Sects.

After all, the evil seeds stretching into a line were still trying their best to encircle them, cutting off the convergence with the front; they were charging and killing so quickly that if the allies around them could not keep up, it was not guaranteed that they would be flanked from the left and right.

Facts proved that their worries were not without reason.

As everyone quickened their pace, constantly breaking through under the protection of their respective direct Holy Sons, the Profound Origin Immortal Mansion on the north side gradually fell behind, and its marching speed was dragged down the moment it encountered evil corpses.

Consequently, some people began to sternly scold them to be faster.

It would be one thing if the Profound Origin Immortal Mansion had no direct disciples, but the most terrifying thing was that a large group of their disciples with extraordinary talent came from the Chu family.

After Chu killed two people and left the Immortal Mansion, those Chu family disciples disappeared, and only some disciples of the Zhong family's main line and their guardians were constantly tearing open the tide of corpses here.

But this way, it was bound to be much slower than the holy artifact pressing the formation.

Zhong Qi, the eighth son of the Profound Origin Abbot, had a very gloomy look in his eyes at this moment.

Although for the past half year, the disciples in the mansion all thought that the vessel-holder chosen by his father was the third, only he himself knew that he was the true successor to the Abbot.

But in order to appease the emotions of the Chu family, the third had to be pushed out to the front stage, and he lived in seclusion behind the scenes, never having the opportunity to try to hold the holy artifact.

The Profound Origin Bead naturally also had a replica, which was also a killing weapon that had been passed down for thousands of years and nourished by the origin of the holy artifact.

But without trying to master the holy artifact and not being recognized by the origin of the holy artifact, he could not control that replica.

In Zhong Qi's view, if he also had a replica holy artifact in hand, he would certainly not be so at a loss.

However, under such a common scene, it would indeed be embarrassing if only they were the only ones, but the Profound Origin Immortal Mansion disciples knew that the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan might not be much better.

In fact, others were indeed as worried about the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan being dragged down as they were about the Profound Origin Immortal Mansion, so the four great Xian Sects that were also guarding the middle and north were also staring at the middle-north direction.

As a result, they unexpectedly discovered that the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan's charging speed was not slow at all.

In front of the tide of corpses, the immortal tripod, the heavenly bell, and the Dao stele, the three replicas, were radiating power, bringing forth vast immortal light, and were like entering an uninhabited land during the attack.

But in the middle-north position, at this moment, a sky full of wild swords that was no less powerful than the holy artifact bloomed...

Amidst the loud noise, Ji You stepped up from the surging air waves, and the ground beneath his feet instantly cracked.

Scorching energy whistled out from his whole body, instantly burning through the thick fog in the forest, and at the same time, his body tightened, and a roar like surging sea waves came from within his body.

And behind him, dozens of spiritual swords carrying scalp-numbing sword intent floated up amidst the ringing and trembling, and killed toward the tide of corpses in front with a boom.

Not bad, it is indeed necessary to be faster at this time.

Fortunately, his sword has always been extremely fast.

Under the powerful sword Qi woven into a net, the evil seeds rushing toward the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan cracked inch by inch, and with a bang, exploded into dust filling the sky.

And the arrogant sword Qi still did not diminish in momentum, carrying an indomitable sword intent to directly tear open the tide of corpses, and the huge sword light was like the hot and scorching dawn, cutting a deep long mark in the forest land with dense thick fog.

The moment the tide of corpses was slashed open, those spiritual swords floated up again, and amidst the humming, they carried the heavy sword Qi again, emitting a burst of joyful sword ringing.

The surrounding cultivators could not help but look up at this moment, looking at the figure whose sword intent swallowed the sky and who killed while carrying the starry sky between his waves.

The Heavenly Tian Shuyuan has no direct disciples, but after the Wandering Immortal Society, everyone knows that the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan has a monster.

Growing up in the countryside, it should have been an interlude for the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, but at this moment, among the Xian Sect direct Holy Sons holding holy artifacts, he killed with sword Dao, not weak in the slightest.

What is different is the Spirit Sword Mountain disciples, because besides looking at the person, they are also looking at the sword.

The sword body is straight and slender, about three feet long and three fingers wide, with a raised spine in the middle of the sword body, edges on both sides, simple and smooth lines, and the whole is symmetrical and steady.

With the constant flashing of sword Qi, the patterns of the sword body tempered through a thousand hammers are clearly visible, and in the center of those patterns is a square brand, inscribed with "Sword Casting Pavilion."

Many people here lowered their heads, looking at the swords they wore that were the same as those floating spiritual swords, and their moods were very complicated.

That is a spiritual sword produced by the Sword Casting Pavilion in Lingzhou; except for the slightly different patterns, dozens of them are of a unified standard.

The quality of this kind of sword is considered not bad, fifteen taels of silver each...

Ji You's sword has always been like this, because he comes from a humble background and does not have much money.

It is said that back then, because he was worried that Chu He's sword was too good and would break his sword during the Autumn Battle, he had gone everywhere to raise money to change his sword before the duel began.

This kind of sword actually cannot even catch up with the private collections of some good swordsmen, let alone compare with those holy artifacts that possess supreme power themselves.

But at this moment, the vast sword killing fell again, and with a boom, it slashed through the tide of corpses that had gathered again.

The three sect holy artifacts that were also killing the tide of corpses seemed to be disturbed by the sword Qi at this time, so they began to tremble continuously, causing Shang Senior Xi Yao, Huo Xingzhong, and the Chen siblings to freeze their eyes.

The human race has had a thousand years of history, and the Xian Sects, aristocratic families, and immortal manors have had strict hierarchies from top to bottom.

Some say this hierarchy is divided according to talent and cultivation speed; disciples from aristocratic families with better cultivation are sent to the Xian Sect, some stay at home, and those who are worse enter the immortal manors.

But in reality, this matter of cultivation speed can be compensated for by elixirs and spirit stones.
