Chapter 2021
Chen Xuan stood suspended between the remains of two ancient immortals. The eternal Daoist charm remaining on the bones was like a cold needle piercing his bones, and the crisis of death was like a malignant tumor, drilling into his limbs and bones along his spiritual energy meridians.
The light of the divine weapon of the Dao flickered between the finger bones of the remains, and the pressure of the eternal divine weapon even caused the void to ripple and distort—such temptation was enough to drive any cultivator crazy, but Chen Xuan only focused his mind for a moment before turning into a silver-white stream of light, tearing through the gray void and fleeing rapidly into the distance.
Previously, tens of thousands of miles away, he clearly saw the Two Realms Mountain that Master Lanxing had described: the green cliffs were as sharp as swords, the clouds and mist swirled around the mountain peaks, and half a broken stele with the words "Two Realms" was embedded in the mountain crevice, exactly as described.
But once you actually set foot here, there's not a trace of the sacred mountain left.
Beneath their feet lay black bone dust, and above them distorted illusions and afterimages. The two powerful skeletons were swirling with gray energy at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, transforming their desires into a man-eating maze.
During the flight, Chen Xuan pushed his divine soul power to its limit, his divine sense forming an invisible net that enveloped the void for tens of thousands of miles.
While keeping a watchful eye on any unusual movements in the shadows, he quickly reviewed the situation in his mind: ever since he stepped into this Devouring Demon Star Ruins, he had been single-mindedly searching for the Two Realms Mountain and the Blood Demon Sea, and his obsession had never diminished.
"Could it be as the sect leader said before he left, that this Star Ruins can see through people's desires and turn obsessions into traps to lure cultivators into their own traps?"
Thinking of the danger he had just experienced, Chen Xuan broke out in a cold sweat.
If it were any other junior in the Void Reversal Realm, they would probably have been blinded by greed upon seeing the ancient immortal treasure. The moment they reached out to snatch it, they would have been crushed into ashes by the killing moves hidden within the remains.
He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his turbulent thoughts: "I can no longer keep searching for things with unrealistic expectations. Right now, I can only take it one step at a time."
Chen Xuan's flying speed was already unparalleled among his peers. When the silvery-white streak of light cut through the void, even the air was torn into long trails.
But before he had flown far, a series of subtle tremors suddenly came from the void ahead—the strange creatures that had attacked him earlier had laid ambushes in various places.
"They are intruding cultivators, kill them!"
A dry, piercing sound suddenly exploded from all directions, the shrill laughter carrying a terrifying ferocity, like countless ice needles piercing the eardrums.
Immediately afterwards, four jet-black arrows tore through the void and struck, their tips gleaming even brighter than before, and their speed several times greater—
Clearly, after the failed sneak attack last time, the other party no longer dared to underestimate him, and even resented him for blocking the five elements attack formed by the remnants of the four people's magic weapons with just his two swords.
"Capture this cultivator!" A sinister voice echoed from within a thick, inky mist.
"If we gather ninety-nine more of these human prodigies and offer their bones and blood as a sacrifice to our ancient ancestor, the ancient ancestor's remaining consciousness will be fully revived! With the ancient ancestor in charge, this void will eventually fall under the control of our Eternal Blood Clan. At that time, it's not impossible for the Immortal Ancestor to truly be resurrected!"
Kaka-
Amidst the cracking sound of bones grinding together, a bizarre creature emerged from the mist. Its upper body was humanoid, its skin gleaming with a bluish-black sheen, its face covered in twisted purple demonic patterns. While its features resembled those of a human, its hair consisted of countless venomous snakes, each as thick as a little finger, their forked tongues hissing and flicking, splattering droplets of black venom.
The most terrifying thing was its lower body, which had eight spider legs with a cold, metallic purple gleam at the tips. Its six arms were also clearly divided into two, with two of them holding a large, blood-red bow. One hand nocked an arrow, and the other drew it fully. From thousands of miles away, the arrow tip accurately locked onto Chen Xuan's figure.
The creature narrowed its eyes, staring at the silvery-white light in the far distance, a disdainful snort escaping its lips:
"A mere human cultivator, yet you possess some skill. Within ten thousand years, you have managed to rival the human geniuses captured by the Earth-level hunter team back then—it's just a pity you were so unlucky, my eighteen-person immortal-hunting team had barely appeared when you ran into them."
