Chapter 2208: Chapter 2208: Melee at the Entrance
Ye Haochuan, relying on the memories of the Tie Family Twins, quickly arrived at the location of the secret realm’s entrance, Luochen Mountain.
On the mountainside of Luochen Mountain, a middle-aged cultivator at the True Immortal Early Stage sat cross-legged with an exhausted expression. Using his finger as a pen, he rapidly drew pale yellow patterns in the void. As soon as these patterns appeared, they imprinted into the void ahead and vanished without a trace.
Looking at his unkempt and disheveled appearance, it was unclear how long he had been sitting there, nor how many patterns he had drawn. Yet the void in front of him seemed to disregard his hard work, remaining completely unresponsive.
Ye Haochuan concealed his aura completely, hiding far away while silently observing this middle-aged man, feeling a twinge of emotion in his heart.
This middle-aged man was likely the one who discovered the entrance to the secret realm. He had painstakingly used a secret technique to finally locate the entrance, yet he had not anticipated that the news would spread like wildfire, attracting countless covetous onlookers.
Within a five-mile radius around him, there were more than a dozen people eyeing him greedily. As soon as he opened the entrance, these people would swarm in and mercilessly seize all the fruits of his labor.
In this cultivator world, where the strong prey on the weak, he was not worthy of sympathy. He had only himself to blame for becoming blinded by the imminent benefits before him, neglecting the lurking dangers around him.
Boom~
Unknown how much time had passed, the void filled with countless light patterns suddenly began to tremble, causing the ground to quiver.
"It’s opening!" A look of ecstatic joy suddenly appeared on the middle-aged man’s exhausted face, and his movements became even faster.
The next moment, a pitch-black hole that seemed capable of devouring everything suddenly emerged from the void.
The middle-aged man’s hands trembled slightly, seemingly from exhaustion after prolonged effort, but more so from excitement within his heart.
Yet before he could express his happiness, sudden changes erupted around him.
Only the sound of "whoosh whoosh" was heard as countless streaks of rainbow light instantly appeared, charging toward him in an instant, launching countless attacks.
The middle-aged man was already weary and unable to react in time. Despite deploying all his defensive measures, they were no match for the combined attacks of the others, becoming utterly futile.
The middle-aged man was blasted back tens of meters, his entire body left without a single piece of unscathed flesh. He stared fiercely at the pitch-black hole, his eyes filled with resentment and endless unwillingness.
The people who hurried over were clearly not comrades. After taking down the middle-aged man in one blow, they launched their strongest killing moves at each other mercilessly, creating utter chaos in an instant.
Before long, several weaker ones were blasted to pieces.
Yet the number of people in the battle did not decrease, but rather increased significantly. Many newcomers, unaware of the situation, quickly became casualties on the ground.
Even so, the flow of experts arriving showed no signs of stopping; in just a quarter of an hour, the battlefield expanded several times over, nearly encompassing the entirety of Luochen Mountain.
Many cultivators hidden below, thinking they could safely retreat after transmitting the information from here, unexpectedly became the collateral damage, suffering heavy casualties amid widespread lamentations.
Ye Haochuan remained quite indifferent, continuing to hide quietly, watching as a bystander, silently enjoying this grand free show.
Suddenly, his gaze fell upon a hidden boulder two thousand meters away. He was slightly taken aback and then a subtle, intriguing smile appeared on his lips.
"It seems this guy has some brains, knowing that stepping out now would mean getting caught up in the melee fruitlessly. Waiting until everyone is mutually exhausted before coming out is certainly the best strategy." Ye Haochuan murmured to himself.
The melee intensified further, transforming the once serene and beautiful Luochen Mountain into a desolate and chaotic ruin, littered with broken flowers and branches.
Yet the entrance, painstakingly opened by the middle-aged man, seemed incredibly sturdy at this moment, withstanding several accidental hits without collapsing.
The cruelty of the Immortal Realm revealed itself to Ye Haochuan once again. In mere few minutes, hundreds to thousands had already fallen on this Luochen Mountain.
Most of these were cultivators at the Immortal Transformation Stage, but there were also many at the Immortal Transformation Peak, and even True Immortal experts.
These individuals were the backbone of any force, yet they perished here silently.
"Is there anyone else?"
A wild roar spread across Luochen Mountain.
All those who still survived turned to the source of the sound, and upon seeing the firm-featured man who roared, they were all taken aback.
"Tyrant Kirin? How did he come here?" One person exclaimed in shock, causing any lingering doubts among the other observers to dissipate instantly.
Tyrant Kirin was a renowned figure throughout the Myriad Realms Mansion.
He once faced eight cultivators of the same stage alone, withstanding all their attacks, slaying five with his own strength. The remaining three, though escaped, were all severely injured.
The arrival of such a fierce individual was a nightmare for the others present.
Before Tyrant Kirin, dozens of corpses had already piled into a small mountain. Some sharp-eyed individuals recognized several of them, notable figures in their own right, all slain by Tyrant Kirin.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding people were even more frightened and subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Haha, a bunch of rats!" Tyrant Kirin laughed skyward, swept a contemptuous glance, and then casually walked toward the entrance, as if no one else was there.
"Brother Ba is simply godlike, utterly admirable,"
A seductive voice suddenly echoed, "If my husband had half the prowess of Brother Ba, how would I have ended up slaying him?"
As she spoke, a curvaceous figure approached leisurely, her black dress unable to conceal her proud, perky figure. Her delicate face could be considered one in a million, yet the black lotus on her face gave an unsettling chill.
"Ghost Widow!" Recognizing who had arrived, many people around immediately thought of fleeing.
The fearsome reputation of the Ghost Widow was no less than that of Tyrant Kirin. Her ghostly methods had killed countless strong opponents of the same stage.
Tyrant Kirin glanced at the Ghost Widow, a trace of caution in his eyes, but his face maintained the usual arrogance: "What, you want to fight me too?"
"How would I dare?" Ghost Widow replied with a pretended grievance, "I just want to beg Brother Ba to share some Cleansing Immortal Grass with me. As for conditions, we can discuss them. Even if you want me to sleep with you, I wouldn’t refuse."
His eyes widened in disbelief—was she really offering sleep? It was obviously an attempt to use her deadly close call to trick Tyrant Kirin to death!
Watching everything from afar, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.
Whether Tyrant Kirin knew about the Ghost Widow’s deadly close call was unclear, but being someone with countless experiences, he surely had some willpower.
Yet surprisingly, Tyrant Kirin showed a slight daze and then looked at the Ghost Widow somewhat infatuatedly, saying lecherously, "Alright..."
