Chapter 901: Chapter 69: Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain
Within the Life God Tomb, after Liu Haoxin and Hou Chen entered, they did not head directly to the Land of Life Soul Spring.
The dangers within the Life God Tomb were not confined to a single place.
Almost the moment they entered, the two chose to employ a technique of form transformation and the Concealing Technique, combining it with a trace of the Heavenly Mechanism Skill they had mastered, genuinely concealing themselves near the entrance.
They would not truly get involved in the battles, preserving their strength, while utilizing the Swallowing Heaven Divine Skill to appropriately devour some refined and powerful energy here, was their goal.
Of course, their main objective was to obtain the Life Soul Spring without shedding a drop of blood.
After concealing themselves, after a moment, a dramatic fluctuation arose in the space at the entrance of the God Tomb. Then, a large number of cultivators rushed in at high speed, led by none other than the Elder of the Evil Spirit Clan.
He was covered in blood, his whole person exuding a cold killing intent like a drawn sword, with intense anger seemingly escaping every moment.
With furrowed brows and glaring eyes, he roared angrily upon entering: "Elder Xue, you old fool, Blood Barbarian Clan scum, come out quickly to die!"
"Sizzle—"
The space fluctuated again, and a large number of Blood Barbarian Clan members and other cultivators also surged in.
Within the Blood Barbarian Clan, Elder Xue and Elder Feng, who had inexplicably fallen into a delay in the illusion during the prior journey, had now caught up. They saw the Evil Spirit Clan Elder slaughter Blood Barbarian Clan members from afar, their hearts filled with repeated rage.
Now, just rushing into the Life God Tomb, hearing such an angry roar, how could they not be furious?
"Evil Spirit Clan scum, die!"
The real Elder Xue and Elder Feng went completely mad, joining hands to attack directly.
Their strikes were lethal moves aimed to kill.
"Sizzle—"
The scope of the Life God Tomb was just so large. With such density, the two could hardly avoid injuring allies by mistake.
Large amounts of blood flew, countless blood mists exploded, many cultivators died miserably. Elder Xue and the Evil Spirit Elder’s fierce battle caused almost all nearby cultivators to suffer.
"No good! The Wanling Clan went to seize the Life Soul Spring first!"
Amid a large group of cultivators and various chaotic environments, a hoarse voice suddenly exclaimed.
All the cultivators were stunned, even the battling Blood Barbarian Clan and Evil Spirit Clan people paused in surprise.
"No good! The Wanling Clan indeed charged ahead; they must intend to seize the Life Soul Spring first!"
Another hoarse voice shouted.
At this moment, no cultivator cared if it was fake or someone deliberately creating chaos because their intense desire had blinded their eyes.
Like a locust swarm, cultivators surged mightily toward the Returning to Truth Clan, the entire Life God Tomb was not particularly large to withstand such an impact.
"Buzz—"
Suddenly, great pillars of light shone down, and endless cultivators perished on the spot, entire swaths completely annihilated.
This change seemed to utterly stun all the remaining cultivators who hadn’t rushed forward, but this scene would not pause because of their shock.
This Light of Destruction continued to shine down, causing all cultivators, even those at the Divine Nine Revolutions Realm, to have no power to resist, as one by one they were struck by this white light and melted like snow encountering scorching sunlight.
Such melting was unbearably cruel and tragic.
This scene was more like a trap’s slaughter ground rather than a place for the Life Divine Spring.
Hundreds of thousands of densely packed cultivators came, and due to this change, after the white light swept through, barely three thousand were left alive.
Those who survived were undoubtedly the strongest of the batch.
The remaining cultivators’ faces were extremely pale, almost with a look of fear, as they watched the sea of blood made from dead cultivators pile up. Watching the Sea of Blood flow toward the direction of the Life Soul Spring’s aura, even the foolish among them understood; this was perhaps a conspiracy of slaughter.
"Returning to Truth Clan people, claiming to worship nature and peace? Today I see it!"
"Indeed, setting such a trap, you and the Jiang family conspired, calculating against the cultivators of the world. Once this news spreads, you will know the horrifying outcome when the Returning to Truth Clan faces the siege of every cultivator!"
"Returning to Truth Clan people, may they die disgracefully!"
...
All cultivators were truly furious and insane, generating an intense hatred toward the Returning to Truth Clan people.
"Spread out? Do you still have the chance to spread out? The Life Soul Spring of the Returning to Truth Clan, do you mere waste think you can covet it?"
A voice laughed coldly, overlooking the many cultivators with indifference and disdain.
This person was none other than the blond and handsome Prince of Glais.
"Prince of Glais, you are an exceptional genius, so why resort to such vile means, using the lives of cultivators to replenish the energy of the Life Soul Spring, and even setting vicious traps to lure cultivators to their deaths? You are nothing but a demon!"
A female cultivator screamed with a piercing voice.
Her words echoed the sentiments of most cultivators present.
"The Life Soul Spring of the Wanling Clan, do you think you can covet it? If you didn’t have the heart to seize it, you wouldn’t have died. Since you harbor such intentions, death is inevitable, so what right do you have to criticize?"
Gles sneered, seemingly disdainful of even explaining that he wasn’t the one who set the trap.
"Haha, so that’s how the Prince of Glais sees it. In that case, why claim the Life Soul Spring in the Life God Tomb is ownerless? Words are wasted on the unworthy. Prince of Glais, I hope you can maintain your reputation as a genius of the Ten Thousand Realms in the future, and not be suppressed by the Emperor Qi Sword Body, Lei Yan King!"
A young male cultivator mocked.
"Impudent, who do you think you are to dare question and ridicule Prince of Glais!"
A Returning to Truth Clan member beside the Prince of Glais turned pale with anger and shouted angrily.
"Humph, even his fiancée was publicly taken away by Zhou Yan; what kind of genius is that? I think he’s just trash!"
Another cultivator sneered repeatedly, seemingly aware of their impending death, and thus spoke harsh words as a way to insult others.
"Courting death!"
The Returning to Truth Clan member beside Gles was furious, immediately channeling powerful bow and arrow energy, intending to pierce the mocking cultivator instantly and ensure a terrible death.
Yet, Gles suddenly waved his hand, saying, "Enough of this talk. Activate the Destruction Array, and directly extract their Life Soul Energy into the Life Soul Spring, so it can fully mature, allowing my Divine Soul to be baptized and undergo another transformation."
Gles spoke coldly, his gaze on the mass of cultivators in front of him as if he were looking at dead people.
Many cultivators roared in frenzied anger, launching endless attacks, only to be suddenly isolated by white light, unable to unleash any killing strikes.
At this moment, many cultivators were nearly in despair. Suddenly, a cultivator jumped out and shouted, "Everyone, my Jiang family has also been victimized, made into the Returning to Truth Clan’s lackeys, falling into their trap.
They even plan to kill me. Everyone, as we entered, I, Jiang Tianxin, realized this ancient array is flawed, so it can’t imprison us.
Everyone, rush with all your might to the northeast, at the Array Pattern of the Second Level Drop, and you can immediately escape!"
"Apologies, everyone, I’ll take the lead!"
’Jiang Tianxin’ finished speaking and instantly transformed into a stream of light, breaking through the sealed ancient array.
This scene surprised Gles, who had been strategizing confidently.
"What’s going on? Weren’t we told the Dark Abyss Killing Array’s sealing capability was intact and unbreakable?" Gles’s expression soured as he questioned, yet he acted immediately.
Unfortunately, this space limited abilities, with combat power reaching only the level of Divine Nine Revolutions Realm, and even as half the master of this Life God Tomb, Gles was bound by these rules.
Currently, the surviving cultivators were all at this realm. While it might not be difficult for someone of Gles’s capability to easily kill dozens, slaughtering tens of thousands was utterly impossible!
Thus, the scene plunged into chaos. As the white light swept over, countless cultivators perished miserably, while more managed to escape.
The Life God Tomb suddenly fell into chaos.
"Pursue them, kill them all! We cannot let those important figures escape, or the Returning to Truth Clan will face disaster!"
Gles’s face changed dramatically. He waved his hand and immediately charged out. As he left the Life God Tomb, he even summoned a massive Guardian Array Plate, sealing all exits of the Life God Tomb.
Afterward, Gles became utterly frantic, extracting a golden Divine Bow from his body, and gathering massive natural Soul Power into arrows, pulling them with great force.
"Buzz——"
As if the very strings of heaven and earth had been drawn back, terrifying golden light beams pierced through the mysterious Life God Tomb.
The dreadful beams scattered widely; the endless white light swept the area, forming a fearsome slaughterground.
Tens of thousands of cultivators had nearly ten thousand escape, while the remaining tens of thousands were nearly all killed on the spot, massacred.
The horrific and wretched screams made the place seem like a hellish scene.
Yet Gles did not stop. Almost immediately after the slaughter, he also turned into a stream of light, passing through the sealed Array Plate, and flying directly towards the Silent Annihilation Battlefield outside the Life Cemetery.
Speed could not be matched in the Silent Annihilation Battlefield area as even with a Flying Sword, one could not escape far.
But in terms of speed, the Returning to Truth Clan had a significant innate advantage.
Thus, Gles’s thought was to leave the Life God Tomb, unleash all his cultivation and combat power, and forcefully kill those cultivators to prevent anything from turning disastrous.
Inside the Life God Tomb, because of these events, it became deathly silent.
Piles of flesh and chaotic energy made the place look like a demonic hell, bloody and gruesome.
Yet no one knew that in the seemingly empty Divine Tomb, two white lights suddenly appeared.
