Chapter 148: Extinction Divine Light
Lu Hanshan slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air with a bloody smell, opened his eyes and said: "Internal injuries are not something that can be cured in a short time. Fortunately, I have already recovered seven or eight tenths of my combat strength."
Ye Chendi said: "Don't worry, Tianmeng Guodi has just begun, we can wait a few more days."
"This time I also owe it to you, Young Master Ye. Otherwise, my life would have been gone." Thinking of being surrounded and killed, Luo Hanshan still had a lingering fear.
Ye Chen smiled and didn't say anything.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, the two of them wandered around during the day to search for treasures. At night, Luo Hanshan sat in meditation to heal his injuries, while Ye Chen absorbed the spiritual energy of the Ling Stone, striving to break through to the peak of the late stage of the Condensing Reality Realm.
On this clear morning, the two had just exited their meditation state when a seven-colored light burst forth from thousands of miles away in the east, piercing the sky and connecting heaven and earth.
"It is the Sky Dream Battle Temple that has opened." Luo Hanshan exclaimed.
Ye Chen nodded, the most important thing in Tian Meng Ancient Land was not treasures, secret books or herbs, but the Tian Meng Battle Temple that could allow people to break through their limits. This mysterious battle temple usually remained hidden and only opened at a certain time. Some people speculated that it required sufficient blood energy to open the Tian Meng Battle Temple ahead of time, which wasn't entirely unreasonable. Over a hundred years ago, the major sects had signed an agreement due to concerns about excessive loss of disciples, stipulating that disciples from various sects were not allowed to engage in indiscriminate slaughter within Tian Meng Ancient Land, or else they would be severely punished. As a result, until everyone was transported out, the Tian Meng Battle Temple never appeared.
"The Heavenly Dream Battle Temple has opened, Luo Shixiong, let's go!"
"Alright."
The two of them activated their lightness skills and darted towards the direction of the seven-colored light pillar.
As soon as the seven-colored light pillar appeared, all the disciples of the various sects in Tianmeng Ancient Land saw it.
"Haha, the Tian Meng War Temple has finally opened. As long as you enter it, there's a one in ten chance of advancing to the Bao Yuan realm."
"I've been stuck in the late stage of Condensing Reality for over a year, this time I must succeed."
"Hmph, you few guys always oppose me, wait till I enter the realm of embracing the origin, and I'll crush each and every one of you to death."
"Big words aren't shameful, let's go to Tian Meng War Hall and see how I'll take your life."
No matter whether they were adventuring alone or fighting with others, the vast majority of sect disciples put aside their current affairs and rushed towards the direction of the seven-colored light pillar.
The wind was like a knife, cutting across his face.
Ye Chen and Luo Hanshan were like two large birds, flying extremely fast in mid-air, occasionally borrowing force from the mountain peaks.
Her ears moved slightly, Ye Chen lowered her head and noticed a scene at the foot of the mountain.
A girl and a young man are standing facing each other beside a clear river.
The girl's forehead was sweating, and her clothes had dozens of sword marks on them. These sword marks were just right, only tearing the clothes, but not hurting the skin. Ten or so steps away, the young man stood with his hands in his sleeves, holding a precious sword, looking like he had everything under control.
"Little beauty, your lightness skills are not bad, but unfortunately you've met me, Spring Young Master. Surrender obediently!" The young man wore a bright green garment, his eyes full of arrogance and lust, his cunning eyes fixed on the girl's skin, occasionally licking his lips.
The girl's face was as cold as frost. "I never thought that a disciple of the great sect would do such a despicable thing. Even if I die, I won't make it easy for you."
"You think you can die easily in front of me?!"
The young man gave a sinister smile, his hand shaking with the precious sword. In an instant, the sword flashed like a spring breeze brushing against her face, warm and gentle, making it hard for her to muster up any strength. By the time the girl came back to her senses, a precious sword was already pressed against her neck, its icy blade only half an inch away from cutting through her major artery.
In mid-air, Luo Hanshan said to Ye Chen: "This person is the Seventh Young Master of the Tian She Nation's Seventh-Ranked Sect - Ji Yin Jiao, ranked 72nd on the Hidden Dragon List. He has a fondness for women and has brought harm to countless young ladies from large families or female disciples from various sects. However, because his maternal grandfather is the Great Elder of Ji Yin Jiao, he has always been able to get away with it."
"Since he is a licentious thief, killing him would be just."
Ye Chen's face was expressionless as he drew his sword and slashed downwards.
By the river, Spring Gentleman was about to make a move when he suddenly felt a chill in his body and lost consciousness. The river water behind him stopped flowing instantly, revealing a deep sword scar over ten meters long.
The girl sensed something was wrong and with a surge of true energy, she jumped back.
Next moment!
The young master's body was split in two from the middle, with a smooth and even cut at the incision, and fresh blood splattered everywhere.
"Was someone just here?"
The girl raised her head in doubt, revealing a stunning face, but it was Ji Xueyan, the core disciple of Feicui Valley. In her line of sight, two figures flashed by from above, and in the blink of an eye they became small black dots. However, she still quickly recognized Ye Chen, whose sharp aura had become even more fierce.
She pursed her lips, and Ji Xueyan's expression was very complicated. She still remembered a sentence she said to him a year ago: "A dragon does not cohabitate with a snake, it is impossible for them to walk together." Now it seems that indeed a dragon does not cohabitate with a snake, but their identities have been completely reversed - she is the snake, and he is the true dragon. A true dragon that is now revealing its majestic appearance, soaring through the nine heavens. Thinking of this, Ji Xueyan's lips were bitten until they bled, and fresh blood trickled down.
A thousand-mile journey may be very long for ordinary people, taking ten days or half a month to arrive, but for a late-stage True Intent realm martial artist, it's just half an hour of work.
With his feet firmly on the ground, Luo Hanshan looked up and exclaimed in surprise: "This seven-colored light pillar has actually covered a lake of dozens of miles in size, no wonder we can see it clearly from thousands of miles away, as if it were right before our eyes."
Ye Chen was equally shocked, the seven-colored light pillar had a diameter of dozens of miles and an unestimable height, it had already pierced through the sky and entered the depths of the void, the colorful glow illuminated an unknown distance, as if the entire Tian Meng ancient land was under its radiant cover.
More and more disciples of various sects rushed over and gathered beside the lake.
"The Dream War Temple is definitely below the lake, let's go down first." A core disciple of a certain sect went down without changing his momentum, rushing into the seven-colored light column.
A thrilling scene unfolded, as the seven-colored light pillars seemed to destroy the starry sky's rays. The disciples of the sect who entered were not even able to let out a miserable cry before their bodies silently disintegrated and merged with the seven-colored light pillars. Those following behind couldn't stop their bodies from being disintegrated, some had their arms disintegrated, some had their heads disintegrated, and some had half of their body disintegrated. Not a single drop of blood flowed out from the severed parts.
"Extinction Divine Light, this is Extinction Divine Light!"
Someone shouted out loud.
Upon hearing this, Luo Hanshan furrowed his brow and said: "The Extinction Divine Light only exists in the Third Layer of Heaven - the Heavenly Apex Heaven. I didn't expect it to also exist in the Tianmeng Ancient Land. If it's really the Extinction Divine Light, then even a strong Spiritual Sea Realm cultivator won't be able to pass through. Only a strong Life and Death Realm cultivator can enter with defensive measures, but there is still some danger involved."
"This Extinction Divine Light is so formidable?" Ye Chen looked at the seven-colored light pillar, still thinking it didn't have any killing power. It seems that the more beautiful something is, the more terrifying its killing power is, to the point where it's hard to defend against.
Lu Hanshan nodded, "There are many kinds of yuanqi in the world. Some yuanqi combine with each other to form a powerful gongqi that can cause great destruction. If more yuanqi are merged, it may transform into a divine light. These divine lights have different effects: some can heal wounds, some can increase one's energy, and some have infinite power. For example, the Extinction Divine Light can make anything it envelops disappear completely, including souls, leaving no trace in the world."
As they spoke, the number of people by the lake had already exceeded 100 and was rapidly growing.
"Lu Han Shan, Ye Shidi."
Two figures flashed by, they were Zhu Mei and Xu Jing.
"Master sister, Xu master sister, are you two alright?"
Zhu Mei smiled and said, "We're quite lucky, we just teleported in not long ago and already ran into each other. To be honest, I'm a bit ashamed - as the senior sister, I should yield my position. Xu Jing is even more formidable than I imagined."
Xu Jing did not express approval or disapproval.
"The strong men of the Dragon List have arrived." In Ye Chen's line of sight, Ji Wu Xue, Yuan Heng Ying, Hong Qian Jun and Wei Dong She, among other strong men from the Dragon List, arrived one after another, their powerful auras suddenly causing a stir.
"All disciples of the Evil Blood Sect come here."
"What's wrong with the disciples of Tianying Fortress?"
"Disciples of Zhong Yue Men gather."
"Disciple of Qingzhumen..."
A few people who were early martial artists in the Yuanjing realm gathered their sect's disciples as soon as they arrived, and later, the high-ranking masters of the Qinglong list followed suit.
Yexin's back was not far away, and Ji Xueyan had just arrived. She looked at Yexin's back with a complex gaze and walked towards the Emerald Young Master Zhuang Fei.
More than half a time has passed, and there are more than 400 people by the lake. Except for one or two who occasionally rush over, almost everyone is here.
"When we came in, there were more than 600 people. Now, only over 400 are left. The ones who died were all the best disciples of their respective sects." Luo Hanshan sighed.
Zhu Mei said with a sigh of relief, "Our Liuyun Sect is still okay, all four of us are here. Look, some sects' disciples were completely wiped out, not one survived, and some sects only have one person left."
"One meritorious deed is worth a thousand deaths!" Ye Chen thought to himself.
Another half-hour passed, and still no one came.
At this time, the 'Killer Eagle' originally horizontal eagle suddenly let out a loud roar.
"Where's my brother Yuan Kong? Why hasn't he arrived yet? Has anyone seen him? You, have you seen my brother Yuan Kong? Speak quickly."
He casually grabbed a fellow disciple from another sect who didn't dare look at him, his killing intent overflowing, his vicious tone sending chills down one's spine.
"I, I don't know." The disciple's teeth chattered.
"I don't know, what's the point of keeping you."
Hmph!
His head was twisted off, and this innocent sect disciple died miserably.
"Yechen, don't reveal your horse's hoof." A terrible situation occurred, and Luohanshan's heart suddenly tightened, transmitting his true energy to Yechen.
Ye Chen said calmly: "Don't worry, Master Luo, I have my own freedom."
Next to her, Zhu Mei said in a low and indignant tone: "This person is too much, how can he kill people for no reason? Does having great power mean he can do whatever he wants?"
Lu Hanshan smiled bitterly, Zhu Mei's strength was slightly higher than his, but her personality was a bit softer.
There was a master of the Hidden Dragon Ranking who didn't go to find Fang Yuan, but instead looked for places without masters. At this moment, he had killed another sect disciple and was heading in the direction of Liuyun Sect.
"Have any of you seen my younger brother Yuan Hengkong?" His eyes were bloodshot, and Yuan Hengying gave the four a cold, sinister glance.
Ye Chen remained unmoved, "Sorry, haven't seen it."
"Kid, you're quite bold, being so calm in front of me. It seems that way, perhaps your suspicion is the greatest, tell me the truth."
The original eagle is step by step approaching.
"Joke, if you haven't seen it before, then you haven't. How do you plan to?" A glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes, and Ye Chen had already made preparations for a bloody battle.
