"Big brother, you're awake!"
The Second Holy Lord saw his elder brother wake up and hurriedly said...
"Brother, are you alright?" the Third Holy Lord asked as well.
"It's barely stabilized, but it will probably take some time to fully recover," said the First Holy Lord.
This time, he forcibly activated his magic core, and it was lucky that his magic power didn't go berserk.
A full recovery may not be so easy.
"Fortunately, we are on a sacred mountain, and my elder brother has just achieved the Golden Core stage; otherwise, we would probably all perish this time."
The Second Holy Lord said with great joy.
He still shudders when he recalls that terrifying giant hand.
"Brother, who exactly are those two people? When did such terrifying figures appear in the world?" the Third Holy Lord asked.
“I don’t know either.” The First Holy Lord shook his head. “However, I suspect that these two are not from our world, but rather visitors from outer space.”
"Visitors from outer space?"
The second and third Holy Lords asked in unison.
“Indeed, visitors from outer space.” The First Holy Lord nodded affirmatively. “The tone of those two mysterious powerhouses was clearly condescending, and they even referred to us as natives.”
They're clearly not from our circle.
The Second and Third Holy Lords, recalling what the two mysterious experts had said earlier, couldn't help but agree with their elder brother's guess.
But they still found it incredible.
"But what about extraterrestrial visitors? Our world hasn't seen any extraterrestrial visitors for tens of thousands of years, has it?"
Ancient texts have been passed down through generations, and some wise individuals have even speculated whether there truly exists another world beyond our own.
Having ruled the world for a thousand years, these holy rulers still have a strong grasp on the world.
They also collected many ancient texts and knew many secrets.
"Just because it didn't exist before doesn't mean it doesn't exist now. Those two mysterious experts are unfathomable; even I can't see through their cultivation levels."
The world has only recently begun to recover; it is impossible for such a person to appear in our realm.
And don't forget, it's also recorded in ancient books.
In the ancient era of cultivation, a large number of the most powerful cultivators of that time perished as the end of the Dharma approached.
They left on the Boundary-Breaking Ship and never returned.
They must have found a new place to stay outside, otherwise there would be no reason for them not to return.
Upon hearing this, the Third Holy Lord's heart stirred: "Brother, according to what you're saying, could those two be descendants of those powerful cultivators who left our world at the end of the ancient cultivation era?"
The First Holy Lord pondered for a moment and said, "That's possible, but it's hard to say for sure."
Those two were clearly up to no good, and we couldn't go out to ask them. We'll have to find out more later.
"That's right, we'll talk about everything after you've recovered from your injuries, brother."
The Second and Third Holy Lords also understood that, given the terrifying power of those two mysterious experts, if they were to go out now, they would be nothing more than fish on a chopping board.
Previously, it was the eldest brother who spared no expense to forcibly activate his Golden Core and, with the help of the mountain soul, managed to escape in with them by surprise.
Now that the other side is on guard, if we go out again, we'll probably be captured and killed in the blink of an eye.
So even if they felt incredibly frustrated, they could only hide inside the mountain for the time being.
"Brother, how long will it take you to recover from your injuries?" the Second Holy Lord asked.
"About ten days, once my injuries have fully healed, I will be able to familiarize myself with stabilizing my golden core. At that time, with the help of the mountain soul's power, as long as I am within the Holy Mountain's range, even if those two are still outside, I will no longer be afraid."
The First Holy Lord spoke with a cold look in his eyes.
As the lord of the Holy Mountain who has ruled the world for a thousand years, and the first person in the world to step into the Golden Core Realm, he naturally has his own pride.
Although those two were powerful, he had already discerned their strength from their previous attack.
The white-robed youth's cultivation level shouldn't be much higher than his; he should still be within the Golden Core realm.
Otherwise, if the other party were a being above the Golden Core stage, even with the help of the Mountain Soul, he wouldn't have been able to escape with his two brothers.
In that case, once he is fully familiar with and in control of the power of the Golden Core Realm, the power of the Mountain Soul that he can draw upon will be even greater.
When the time comes to deal with those two again, we may not be as powerless as before.
With his mind making plans, the First Holy Lord activated his mental energy and continued to absorb the massive amount of earth energy from the mountain's belly, entering the deepest level of healing.
...
"Is everything you just said true?"
Above the holy city, a white-robed youth stood with his hands behind his back, while a middle-aged man in front of him was being squeezed by a magical hand the size of a person, looking as if he would explode at any moment.
The aura emanating from him clearly indicated that he was a powerful martial artist at the peak of the Innate Realm.
Beside him, several others were being squeezed by another magical hand, suffering terribly.
Within the holy city beneath their feet, a massive handprint was clearly visible.
Within the area marked by the palm print, there was only ruins.
There was a faint smell of blood emanating from inside, and it was unknown how many people had suffered undeservedly.
"Indeed, everything I have said is true. If I have dared to lie to you even half a word, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
The middle-aged man, a cultivator at the Innate Realm, endured the pain and cried out repeatedly.
"Tell me, were all the things he just said the truth?"
The young man in white robes turned his head towards the other Innate Realm cultivators who were being held captive.
"It's all the truth. Brother Qi is not lying. I hope you can see the truth, senior!"
"Brother Qi's words are entirely true; please forgive us, senior!"
The other cultivators at the Innate Realm also shouted.
At the same time, I was filled with immense fear.
These two mysterious people in front of me are truly terrifying.
They had no idea how they had been captured and brought to this high altitude.
Such an inconceivable method has far exceeded their imagination.
This also shows that these two mysterious people must be incredibly powerful individuals!
"Very well, then let me see if you're telling the truth or not."
A sinister smile suddenly appeared on the white-robed youth's face. He activated his mind, and a powerful surge of divine soul energy erupted forth.
The next moment, the few Xiantian Realm cultivators he had captured widened their eyes, their veins bulged on their faces, and they let out shrill screams, as if they were enduring some indescribable pain.
Soon, the screams of the group gradually subsided, their pupils dilated, drool dripped from the corners of their mouths, and they looked dazed.
Upon seeing this, the man in the gray robe initially wanted to stop him.
But thinking of his junior brother's previous behavior, he knew that if he didn't let him vent his anger, he probably wouldn't let it go, so he ultimately didn't say anything.
“The natives are the natives; they can’t even withstand this little bit of spiritual impact.”
The young man in white robes looked at the group and a look of disgust appeared in his eyes.
With a thought, he released the group.
Bang, bang...
After a few muffled thuds, several clumps of flesh appeared in the ruins of the palm print below.
