Chapter 452 Suffer a Lot
The disciples of the Tianyi Palace were also scared.
As high-ranking cultivators from outer s.p.a.ce and elites of the sect, they treated all the martial artists on this planet as weak ants. They compared themselves to immortals. Even the high-ranking martial artists of the Holy Clan and Human Emperor were just like grains of sand to them.
However, four of their fellow apprentices were quickly killed.
This made them realize that there were people and objects that could kill them on this world, which they thought was uncivilized.
In this place, they were not invincible.
“Elder Sun, now we…” A disciple was afraid.
As he spoke, an energy fluctuation behind him surged over.
There were also a dozen figures rapidly approaching. The leader was a tall middle-aged man with a saber on his back, who was accompanied by Emperor Qin Ming, the six Skyfiend Guards, and 10 experts from the Western Qin Empire.
“They’re from the Heavenly Devil Sect,” said one of the disciples of the Tianyi Palace.
The relations.h.i.+p between the Tianyi Palace and Heavenly Devil Sect in the Brilliance Immortal Galaxy was very tense, which both aimed to compete for the throne of the top sect in several wars. There were many plots used by the two sects. They could be considered enemies, but the Heavenly Devil Sect had gained the upper hand in the past century.
The Tianyi Palace elder was shocked. He smirked coldly and ordered his disciples to step aside to let the Heavenly Demon Sect head over first.
“Haha, are you afraid? It’s good that you know how to back down.”
Demon Broadsword Sun Changkong snorted when he saw this scene. It was more important to find an immortal and there was no need to fight against these people, so he directly led his group to rush into the sand area.
“Puff! Puff! Puff!”
As the battle intent surged, air currents rolled over.
Soon, six experts from the Western Qin royal family were instantly killed, and two Heavenly Devil Guards were turned into dust. The terrifying killing intent surged toward the people from the Heavenly Devil Sect and surrounded them in the middle.
“Dammit… Open!” Demon Broadsword Zhangsun Changkong drew out the long knife from his back and wielded it. Then, his cultivation broke out. At the critical moment, the phantom of the devil’s knife tore a gap in the surrounding killing intent field, and he took the opportunity to escape.
However, only he and Emperor Qin Ming managed to escape. The rest of them were all buried there.
“Sun Ji, how dare you plot against me?”
Zhangsun Changkong was holding a long knife in his hand and glaring at the elder of Tianyi Palace.
Danger lurked in all directions on the battlefield of the ancient desert.
Thanks to Li Mu’s Third Eye and Qing Feng’s familiarity with tactical deployments, they were able to trudge forward. Those dead soldiers, damaged sun disc, and terrible ancient fighting intent were attached to the battles.h.i.+ps and tanks, and they did not completely disperse.
For Li Mu and the others, it was like there were traps everywhere. If they were not careful, they might be killed.
This desert was hundreds of kilometers in size.
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+yu, who knew nothing about martial arts, was the weakest in strength. If she didn’t have the Purple-ribbon Holy Robe, she would have been killed by the terrible fighting intent. But even so, for w.a.n.g s.h.i.+yu, it was also a terrible trial.
Later, Li Mu directly carried her on his back, which made w.a.n.g s.h.i.+yu feel a little more relaxed.
It took them four hours to get out of the desert.
At the end of the desert was a broad road.
Li Mu stopped, handed the jade tablets of the Immortal Path to Qing Feng, and said, “You leave. I’ll stay here to do something. I must try my best to hinder the sect, otherwise, we’ll be in great danger.”
He then returned to the desert.
Li Mu would never forget the safe way he came here, so he didn’t need to protect others. On this ancient battlefield, he was able to handle it with ease.
Li Mu constantly set up some delicate small tactical deployments in some seemingly safe places to interfere with vision. In this way, he set up more traps for the complicated battlefield.
An hour later…
The people from the Heavenly Devil Sect and Tianyi Palace had finally set foot on the first divine hill.
After all, they were cultivators from outer s.p.a.ce. This sand dune’s a.s.sault was unable to stop them all this while.
“Fight. Behind us is our hometown. There is no way to retreat. Fight to the end.”
The strong ancient G.o.d leaning against the battle flag was still obsessed with his will. His voice was clear and the torn battle flag was fluttering in the wind.
He could vaguely tell that the torn battle flag was engraved with the pattern of a coiled dragon with overbearing momentum, which was circulated by a majestic spiritual force and gave others an illusion that, in the next moment, once this ancient G.o.d pulled out this battle flag and waved it, there would be hordes of soldiers charging toward them…
“This is…”
“The Ancient Battlefield!”
The ancient FiendG.o.d battlefield behind the hill shocked the experts of the two sects.
At this time, a disciple of the Tianyi Palace who looked at the silver nail felt so envious that he even wanted to get this nail because he sensed that it had to be a lethal weapon that could even suppress an ancient G.o.d.
He was obsessed with it and subconsciously walked toward the Ancient G.o.d.
“Chen Feng, what are you doing? Come back…” Sun Ji furiously shouted when he realized that.
However, at this moment, a terrible thing happened.
As a kind of demonic wind blew over, Chen Feng’s clothes turned into dust and his skin was cracked, just like a dried-up riverbed, of which, however, he was unaware. Instead, he smiled as though he had seen the most beautiful thing in the world. He continued walking toward the corpse of the Ancient G.o.d. After taking a couple of steps, fresh blood and bone marrow flowed out of his cracked skin like spring water and then transformed into a ray of rainbow light that was swallowed by the silver nail…
Chen Feng’s body, like a sand sculpture, collapsed and turned into sand, merging into the desert.
When the cultivators from the two sects saw this scene, they felt extremely frightened.
“He, he is still alive, his face is moving…” another disciple of the Tianyi Palace suddenly screamed. He stared at the face of the Ancient G.o.d and shouted, “I saw him. He was just smiling.”
As the wind blew, all the people were shocked.
This was too weird.
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Sun Ji shouted, “Shut up.”
At this time, on the way here, another figure flashed.
In time, a few more groups of soldiers dashed toward the sand dune.
Another force from the outer-s.p.a.ce sect had arrived.
By this time, Emperor Qin Ming and Zhangsun Changkong had already begun to run without saying a word, who had fled thousands of meters away and entered the Ancient FiendG.o.d battlefield below the sand dune.
“Let’s go.” Sun Ji was so anxious that he didn’t have time to observe the Ancient G.o.d’s corpse anymore but decided to leave this evil dune as soon as possible.
Suddenly…
“Boom!”
In the Battlefield of G.o.ds and Demons a thousand meters away, a horrible killing intent broke out, followed by the roar from Demon Broadsword Zhangsun Changkong. The light of the knife was flowing, which triggered a series of terrible killing intents.
Evidently, these two people from the Heavenly Devil Sect had been trapped in the territory of the Ancient Battlefield.
Sun Ji smirked. Then, he led the remaining disciples and the four men dressed in bright imperial robes on the road.
“Be careful. Follow me. Don’t choose the wrong way.” Sun Ji’s eyes twinkled and were concentrated on looking for a safe place.
Since Li Mu and the others could pa.s.s through the battlefield of the ancient desert, it meant that the Immortal Path map was right. This was not a dead-end, and they could certainly find a way out. There was no reason that cultivators from outer s.p.a.ce were not as good as lowly indigenous people like Li Mu.
However, things did not go as smoothly as Sun Ji had expected.
His Magic Eyes had clearly been able to detect a safe route, but for some unknown reason, this so-called safe route had triggered the killing intent in the battlefield several times, which activated destructive forces. He had barely managed to escape the danger after consuming several treasures. Another six disciples died…
“Ah, dammit, Li Mu, I’ll kill you.”
Sun Ji swore in his mind. He realized that Li Mu had set up some tricks on the ancient battlefield to mislead him.
“Ah, ah, ah, Li Mu, I will kill you.”
A thousand meters ahead, Zhangsun Changkong also roared crazily.
Obviously, this elder of the Heavenly Devil Sect had fallen into Li Mu’s trap several times. He was badly injured and extremely embarra.s.sed.
The experts from outer s.p.a.ce were thrown into a state of extreme agitation.
At this moment, dozens of cultivators from the outer-s.p.a.ce sects also succeeded in pa.s.sing the sand dune and entering this desert.
There were about three or four hundred people, including three array masters who broke the barriers in the sand dune at a very fast speed.
After all, there were talents from outer s.p.a.ce.
In the face of the obstruction of the killing intent on the battlefield, all the sects chose to work together for the time being.
These cultivators advanced at an extremely fast speed.
About an hour later…
The cultivators who were following from the various sects were about to catch up to the two sects.
Right at this moment…
“Elder, look,” said one of the disciples of the Tianyi Palace.
The others looked in the direction that the disciple was pointing. They saw a small wooden tablet in the sand 10 meters away, with the words: “The burial spot for the ancestors of the Tianyi Palace died—by Master Li Mu”.
“Dammit.” With the people behind him having caught up, Sun Ji was already agitated. When he saw it, he was so furious that he directly shattered the wooden tablet with his palm. But at this moment, he suddenly came to his senses and said, “Gosh…”
Before his voice had died away—
The sand around was rolling, and dozens of golden skeletons of Ancient G.o.ds came up in the dust, as horrible as bursting tides.
In the blink of an eye—
“Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!”
The entire battlefield of the FiendG.o.d was like a house of dominoes that had started to collapse. The killing intent, chaotic turbulence, and the evil aura from the ancient weapons were all activated, and everything within a few hundred meters exploded in a frenzy.
“Kill, fight to the death and don’t retreat.”
“To protect the Ancestor’s Land and to burn everything together.”
“Let’s fight to the end.”
“To protect our descendants.”
“Kill!”
All sorts of ancient voices seemed to have traveled through a thousand years of s.p.a.ce and echoed above the desert. The obsessions of the deceased soldiers were stirred up and exploded out mighty currents. The terrifying murderous spirit turned into an invisible Taoist millstone that was about to crush all living creatures in the desert.
The troops, who had been moving forward smoothly, suffered a catastrophe almost all of a sudden.
“Idiot,” an array master roared and cursed Sun Ji.
Several thousand meters away…
Li Mu sensed something and looked back at the desert with a trace of a smile on his face.
“This time, it’s enough for these outer-s.p.a.ce cultivators to suffer there,” Li Mu said.
Li Mu did not have a good impression of these people, since they were like butchers who did not treat the people in this world as human beings. Therefore, Li Mu had no psychological pressure in scheming to deal with them.
“Let’s hurry up. The killing intent of that ancient battlefield can’t hold them for too long,” Li Mu said.
He did not underestimate his opponent.
There had to be some experts in outer s.p.a.ce and masters of tactical formations that would break through the formation sooner or later.
He kept moving forward.
Along the way, there were many obstacles, such as maze swamps, cliffs, mountains, foggy abysses, maze-like tunnels, and dead Ancient G.o.d Towns…
About half a day later, Li Mu and the others arrived at a picturesque place.
A delicate and open hand-like mountain stood in front of Li Mu and others.
There were green mountains and flowing waterfalls there.
“Here we are.” Li Mu was excited.
This Five-finger-like Mountain was exactly where the end of the Immortal Path was located.
The immortal was in the mountain.
