I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 405: The Demon Realm's Claws

After Qin Fen was also taken into the Primordial Soul Lamp.

Gu Heng then tidied himself up and prepared to leave.

There's no need to stay here any longer. This place is too eerie, especially with that highly corrosive black rain that just fell from the sky. Now the top of this ancient secret palace is covered with tiny, densely packed pits...

Just one glance at it gave him goosebumps all over his body.

Following the path he had come from, he returned to the same main hall. The stench of death still lingered. Given that at least a hundred people had indeed perished here—fighting for "opportunities" that Gu Heng saw no benefit in—Gu Heng felt this place would likely be shrouded in heavy yin energy. Perhaps in a few years, evil spirits would appear here again.

The place is now empty. The remaining three "treasures" are in Gu Heng's system inventory. His brother Qin Fen entrusted them to him, saying that he hopes Gu Heng will give them away to someone he is destined to meet in the future.

It was actually quite difficult for Gu Heng. He couldn't cultivate yet, so going on a long trip was not a very reasonable choice, let alone wandering around with three things in tow.

Since Brother Qin had already said so, Gu Heng reluctantly accepted it.

Outside the Ancient Secret Palace.

Those who had narrowly escaped death were still in shock.

Just now, even inside the Ancient Secret Palace, the screams coming from outside were enough for them to know what had happened; the scene was like the end of the world!

Putting everything else aside, even now that we've come out, seeing the vast expanse of ground that looks like it's been corroded and blackened, and the bloodied and mangled corpses outside the Ancient Secret Palace...

Everyone still felt a chill run down their spines and their hearts were filled with dread.

Are there any living creatures left in these mountains?

Someone murmured.

"That power just now was even more evil than that of evil cultivators!"

Elder Baili looked solemnly at the mountain range and land ravaged by the demonic rain, his voice trembling.

He had seen the small blood holes on his sect leader's body, and the ancient secret palace had been trembling just now. This was enough to deduce that if the demonic rain from the sky had continued, even a Saint-level cultivator would have been killed!

Not to mention them.

"But where did that thunderous punch come from?" someone asked.

Just now, the Demonic Rain was indeed about to wash away this mountain range and the Ancient Secret Palace, but the situation quickly changed, because everyone felt an irresistible force, comparable to the heavens, that completely shattered the Demonic Rain cloud!

That power... was even more terrifying!

It's as if it could pierce through the sky!

Who on earth was the powerful figure who made the move? Moreover, the one who released the demonic rain and the one who created the fist shadow are definitely not the same person.

It seems.

It's more like they're engaged in a battle here, and those of us who came to explore the secret realm have become mere ants accidentally caught in the crossfire...

It's so ridiculous.

Everyone here comes from extraordinary forces, and they usually treat others like ants. But today, they've been reduced to ants in the aftermath of other people's battles, and they almost lost their lives! "Let's leave here as soon as possible. We can't stay here any longer. Anyway, there's not much left to take."

Jiang Lingyun no longer hesitated. She knew who had probably unleashed that fist shadow; it was most likely that it was that young master Gu.

But who released that demonic rain that threatened to annihilate the ancient crocodile mountains and even destroy the immortal realm?

The answer was unclear, but Jiang Lingyun knew for sure that she couldn't fight against that kind of person!

Even though she was already at the seventh level of the Saintly Realm and was revered as the number one in the world, she had never felt so clearly the powerlessness that the phrase "there are always people better than you" had fallen upon her.

"I will obey the sect leader's command."

Elder Baili didn't hesitate. He immediately summoned his spiritual treasure and, along with a group of people from the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect, fled into the distance.

Jiang Lingyun also left with Bai Feier.

"I'm leaving too, Sister Yiyao..." Meng Yirou had obtained the Extreme Life Cauldron, and she could naturally go back and focus on her cultivation. She felt that she was about to break through again, and there must be some kind of inheritance on this Immortal Medicine Cauldron.

If I can master it, I might be able to reach that level in the future!

Qin Yiyao waved her hand.

"My master is not far away, so don't worry about me."

She gained a deeper understanding of the demonic rain she had just experienced...

After all, in the era of Emperor Shengyao, although the Five Realms Passage had long been broken and there was no path to immortality, Qin Yiyao's Great Qin Dynasty once encompassed half of the Xuantian Realm, and could collect all kinds of ancient books.

and so.

Qin Yiyao actually understood that what had just happened was the work of the Demon Realm!

Moreover, it is a large-scale destructive move called "Demonic Erosion Rain". During the Five Realms War, this move caused many immortals and ancient beings in the two realms to suffer a lot of losses and die many immortal cultivators.

However, casting the Demonic Rain is not so simple.

Corresponding to the "Ascension Stage" is the so-called "Demon Entry Stage". This kind of killing move that requires the cooperation of all parties to accumulate power and release usually requires at least one demon cultivator at the tenth level of the Demon Entry Stage to take the lead!

This also means.

In the current Xuan Tian Realm, there are demonic cultivators at or above the Demonic Transformation stage lurking!

This is...very dangerous.

The ancient war between the Five Realms was fought between the Immortal and Demon Realms, along with the Ancient Underworld Realms, who fought fiercely in the Xuan Tian Realm, causing countless lives to perish. The Great Abyss left behind by the Underworld and Demon Realms still exists today.

Moreover, it was a major disaster that plunged the northern deserts into dire straits!

It seems the Demon Realm has once again extended its clutches to the Xuan Tian Realm.
