Chapter 651: Chapter 651 – Before the Immortal Sect
The sky was filled with Qi Blood. Bai An’s body was riddled with wounds. Claw marks continuously appeared on his body, leaving wounds on his body. Crimson blood kept dripping.
Beneath him, the corpse of a ferocious exotic beast lay quietly on the ground. The bones all over its body were shattered. It was an extremely miserable sight.
This was the result of the battle between the two sides. However, this was not the end.
“This is the Dao Principle manifested by the Dao of the Immortal Sect. It is also the imprint that the exotic beast once carved.” Yiu Ruo spoke softly.
She recognized that the essence of this existence was the immortal of the strange beast that had once appeared in the Immortal Sect.
“After such a long time, these imprints should have disappeared. However, under the support of the power of the Immortal Sect, it has recovered once again now.” She said softly, then turned around and looked at Bai An beside her and continued, “Be careful. Although these are just imprints, their strength might not be much weaker than the original body.”
“I understand.” Bai An nodded.
After the battle just now, he had already raised all his vigilance. Although he hadn’t used the ancient sword, he had used most of his power to fight the exotic beast imprint.
The result was shocking. Although he won, there were many wounds on his body. The Heavenly Venerate’s blood flowed, and he couldn’t stop it. He had never expected such a result.
After all, apart from the ancient sword, he was a Heavenly Venerate. Moreover, Bai An was still very young. His Qi blood was very vigorous. After the ancient sword’s long period of contact and enlightenment, he boasted that his strength was not weak even among Heavenly Venerates.
However, he was bleeding now. The battle had reached such a level. This could not help but make people feel apprehensive.
“Even the initial imprint has the prowess of a Heavenly Venerate?” He became vigilant and could not help but turn around and look at Yiu Ruo.
Yiu Ruo’s expression was also very grave, staring forward as if she thought of something. Bai An was very suspicious, looking at Yiu Ruo’s face. The scene before him was something that she had already antic.i.p.ated. That was why she had specially dragged him here to explore the Immortal Sect together. Otherwise, with just Yiu Ruo’s prowess alone, it would be impossible for her to pa.s.s through this place.
Of course, he didn’t say anything though he thought so in his heart and silently stared at Yiu Ruo. He turned around and continued walking forward a moment later. His Qi blood was still as exuberant as before. However, an even more terrifying enemy appeared in the surroundings.
It was a G.o.d statue. The G.o.d statue was mighty. Its body was tall, at least tens of thousands of feet. No one knew what kind of existence it was in the past, but it had left behind a mighty and st.u.r.dy imprint. That kind of body strength even gave Bai An a headache, and he had no choice but to use the ancient sword in his hand and move forward.
The appearance of this matter had exceeded his expectations and made him apprehensive. He did not want to use the ancient sword at first, wanting to see how far he could go with his ability. He had thought that even if he could not reach the end with his ability, he would at least need to reach the end of this area before using the ancient sword. After all, he still had this bit of confidence as a Heavenly Venerate.
However, this path shocked him. He had never met an enemy lower than a Heavenly Venerate from beginning to end. They were all at the Heavenly Venerate level at the very least. Moreover, the further he went, the stronger the enemy he met.
Bai An suspected that perhaps even an existence at the level of a supreme Heavenly Venerate would appear if he went to the end. Therefore, he attacked directly using the ancient sword without hesitation. The situation instantly became more evident with the ancient sword in hand.
No matter how powerful the imprints before him were, he was not afraid. His battle strength directly rose to a level that ordinary people could not imagine.
Bang!
Waves of metal interweaving sounds sounded in this place. Bai An held the ancient sword in his hand. His expression was cold as he brought Yiu Ruo to the final core area.
Of course, this process was also challenging. Along the way, he had killed more than ten imprints that were comparable to Heavenly Venerate. It was challenging, and it also made people doubt their lives.
At least Bai An already had some doubts about what a Heavenly Venerate was in this place. He felt that if he only relied on himself, he would have been eliminated at the very beginning. Even if those imprints did not kill him, he would have been worn to death sooner or later.
Behind him, Yiu Ruo’s face was pale, and she was drenched in sweat. Along the way, even though Bai An was still the one who had put in the most substantial effort, You Ruo was inevitably drawn to the battlefield. There were exotic beasts formed by the imprints lurking around, attacking her.
When Bai An had no time to care, Yiu Ruo had no choice but to make her move. She fought with the exotic beasts formed by the imprints. Fortunately, You Ruo’s combat strength was also powerful, though she looked relatively weak as if she was just an ordinary girl. However, her body was exceptionally st.u.r.dy. It seemed that she had cultivated a body refining holy technique, tempering her body to the point that even Bai An was surprised.
At the same time, her soul was pure. It seemed that a mysterious power within it allowed her to endure the entire journey. This result also surprised Bai An.
Excluding the ancient sword’s bonus prowess, Bai An suddenly realized that even though he had advanced more than a thousand years earlier than Yiu Ruo, he was still unable to win her in terms of prowess. It would be 50-50 if the two sides were to fight.
Even if it was an ancient sword, she might have a way to deal with him. After all, her ability was too powerful as she could see the past, present, and future. Although this ability did not have enough prowess, it was suitable for obtaining natural creation. There might be some who could resist the ancient sword among the natural creation she obtained.
Bai An was suspicious, but he did not show it on the surface. He continued to advance. The ancient sword in his hand moved as he charged forward. They fought all the way, and it took them two days and two nights to reach the last part of the journey.
During this process, they rarely stopped fighting. Every few steps they took, they would encounter danger. It was challenging. Of course, there were also new opportunities during this crisis.
For example, some unique materials were nurtured in the Immortal Sect, and some spiritual herbs grew under the radiance of the Immortal Sect for a long time. They were all priceless things.
In addition, after the exotic beasts that were transformed from the imprints fell, their essence would also be melted into one body, eventually turning into individual unique immortal crystals, which were all top-quality materials. Whether refined into magic treasures or used for other purposes, they were all outstanding, and their value was exceptional.
According to the agreement that Yiu Ruo and Bai An had made beforehand, these would all end up in Bai An’s pocket and belong to him.
Bang!
m.u.f.fled sounds sounded from the front, like the rumbling of thunder. Before the enormous Immortal Sect, Bai An thrust his sword forward, repelling a giant bull as large as a tall building and splitting its body in half.
Vast Dao Principles emitted in the area and then gradually began to burn, turning into layers of burning Dao Flames, covering the entire area. Bai An’s expression was grim as he stood amidst the endless Dao Flames. He was dressed in a white robe, and he strode forward until he reached the end of the area.
Drip…
The crisp sound of blood dripping onto the ground was heard. Bai An had been moving unhindered from the beginning to the end of the area. His divine power was utterly exhausted. Even his body had begun to crack when he reached the end.
The same goes for Yiu Ruo, who was standing by the side. Her aura had fallen to the bottom of the valley, and the magical weapons on her body shattered. There was nothing left. However, even so, their eyes were bright. Beams of divine light appeared within them as they looked forward.
“This is the end.” You Ruo’s face was pale after reaching here. She looked at the Immortal Sect that was opened before her and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
“Alright.” Bai An nodded and looked ahead.
The gigantic Immortal Sect quietly opened before them, looking incomparably sacred and majestic. That kind of aura was unforgettable.
One could faintly see another vast and boundless world through the golden sect.
That world evolved within the Immortal Sect. The Dao Principles from within flowed and transformed into a rain of light that filled the surroundings, causing people to be intoxicated by it. Bai An looked at the scene displayed with some admiration, but his heart was especially vigilant.
“Are you sure that it ends here?” He looked at the open Immortal Sect before him and couldn’t help but come back to his senses, looking at Yiu Ruo beside him.
“To a certain extent, yes.” Facing Bai An’s gaze, Yiu Ruo nodded and spoke softly, “However, there’s still one more problem.”
“What?” Bai An was stunned for a moment before he spoke subconsciously.
Yiu Ruo did not reply but silently moved forward and extended a hand instead. Her slender and fair arm extended towards the open Immortal Sect. However, she seemed to have encountered some sort of obstruction and could not truly enter. This situation caused Bai An to frown.
“Is this a rejection?” He sensed the abnormal feeling in the Immortal Sect and spoke after thinking about it carefully.
“That’s right.” Yiu Ruo nodded and said, “This is the rejection from another great realm…”
“Entering another great realm through the Immortal Sect is equivalent to entering someone else’s home. How would you feel if it were you?”
“So that’s how it is.” Bai An frowned, did not know what to say.
He thought that he had already overcome all the difficulties along the way and would not encounter any more problems. He did not expect that he would still face obstacles even after overcoming all the obstacles before him.
