Chapter 2473: Chapter 2476: Over Ten Thousand Necro Spirits
"Lin Jiang, why don’t we collaborate now?"
Pang Tong turned to look at Lin Jiang, clearly still unwilling to give up such a good opportunity to kill Yan Li.
"Hehe, forget it for now, let’s wait until we reach the Central Region!"
Lin Jiang chuckled and waved his hand, leading his people away from the Valley of Undead.
"Bastard who won’t act without absolute certainty!"
Pang Tong gave Lin Jiang’s back a fierce glare, then turned to look at the empty valley with an expression of extreme unwillingness in his eyes.
After a while, Pang Tong sighed, suppressed his unwillingness, and also led his people away from the Valley of Undead.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Shortly after Pang Tong and his people left, the sound of breaking through the air rang out, and over forty people reappeared in the Valley of Undead. It was Chen Rui and his group who had left earlier.
"Chen Rui, you said those who took advantage haven’t left?"
Liu Yunxia glanced at the empty valley, a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Chen Rui nodded slightly, walked to the mountain wall, placed his hand on it, and a profound fluctuation emanated from his body. This fluctuation was precisely the Spatial Path’s fluctuation!
Buzz!
A surge of Power of Space emerged from the mountain wall, shattering the Spatial Dao Power emitted by Chen Rui!
"As expected!"
Chen Rui’s eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone’s expressions changed, and they looked at the mountain wall with burning eyes.
"Is this actually a Saint’s Relic?!"
Liu Yunxia’s eyes were filled with extreme greed, and she couldn’t help but take a few steps toward the mountain wall.
Chen Rui glanced at Liu Yunxia, a hint of disgust deep in his eyes. If Liu Yunxia weren’t the daughter of the Qingyang Sect Master, he would never pursue such a superficial woman.
Despite his dislike, Liu Yunxia’s status couldn’t be ignored, so Chen Rui still spoke with a beaming smile: "Yunxia, this isn’t a Saint’s Relic. It’s just a space suppression arranged by a Unity Realm Stage cultivator who mastered the Spatial Path. Something might be suppressed here."
"Suppressing something? What requires a Unity Realm Stage cultivator to use their life efforts to suppress?"
Liu Yunxia was taken aback and asked in surprise.
A black-clothed Elder Zhao’s eyes suddenly brightened, and he whispered, "A Spiritual Treasure!?"
"Yes! There could be a powerful Spiritual Treasure here; otherwise, a Unity Realm Stage cultivator wouldn’t go to the lengths of fully suppressing it."
Chen Rui nodded lightly.
"A Spiritual Treasure that requires a Unity Realm Stage cultivator’s full power to suppress would undoubtedly be formidable."
Liu Yunxia’s eyes grew even more greedy.
If this really were a Saint’s Relic, it might be difficult for them to handle.
After all, Saint-level beings, even with their realms suppressed, are not opponents they can defeat, but if it’s a Spiritual Treasure suppressed by a Unity Realm Stage cultivator, they could try to obtain it.
"Nephew Chen, can you sense the exact realm of the cultivator suppressing this place?"
Elder Zhao looked at Chen Rui with anticipation.
Here, not only is everyone’s cultivation realm suppressed, but their senses are too. However, with his command of the Spatial Path, Chen Rui’s perception on this spatial mountain wall is much stronger than Elder Zhao’s.
"From what I can perceive, that person’s strength is probably not weaker than yours, Elder Zhao!"
Chen Rui said with a light smile.
Elder Zhao’s eyes immediately brightened. A spiritual treasure fully suppressed by a strong cultivator of the same realm or even one stage higher is enough to tempt him.
Although Spiritual Treasure is a level of artifact classification, there are variations in strength within this level. Some Spiritual Treasures have power comparable to top-tier treasures, while some top-tier Spiritual Treasures can even rival Dao Instruments. This depends on the intrinsic power of the Spiritual Treasure and the region it is associated with.
A Spiritual Treasure capable of being fully suppressed by a late or peak Integration Realm cultivator would undoubtedly be a top-tier Spiritual Treasure, one that any Integration Realm cultivator would be infinitely tempted by.
...
Time rewinds to when Chen Rui and his group emerged from the Maze Formation, inside the mountain wall.
"Four Symbols Demon-Breaking Formation! Killing Array, rise!"
A figure appeared in a dim space. Before the figure could fully manifest, a cold, sharp voice resonated.
Howl! Roar!
Four illusory beast shadows roared out from the figure, frantically attacking the area within ten meters in front of it.
But the four beast shadows struck nothing; within ten meters of the entrance, there wasn’t a single sight of a Necro Spirit.
Uh...
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, not bothering to survey his surroundings, and quickly changed his hand seals.
Whoosh!
The four beast shadows merged together, forming a ten-meter-wide light barrier that enveloped Jiang Chen and the three others who appeared thereafter.
Only then did the group start to survey their surroundings.
Hiss, hiss, hiss...
At just a glance, the four gasped sharply, even Yun Hai who had been here once looked utterly astonished.
This space was a dim realm, with extremely poor lighting.
The four were currently at an altar-like platform, and below the platform, a large group of Necro Spirits gathered.
The number of these Necro Spirits far exceeded the thousand Yun Hai mentioned, reaching tens of thousands. The majority were at the Mid-stage of Virtual Refinement Realm to the Virtual Refinement Realm Peak. Amazingly, over a dozen Necro Spirits at the forefront were in the Integration Realm, with one even at the Integration Realm Peak!
Crucially, these Necro Spirits were not suppressed in their realms, but truly possessed their full strength!
Thousands of Necro Spirits watched the direction of the altar with a wary and guarded look. When they saw Jiang Chen and the others suddenly appear, their faces showed expressions of surprise.
"What’s going on? How can there be...these Necro Spirits’ strength..."
Yun Hai spoke in a terrified tone.
Everyone’s faces changed dramatically; at first, they were shocked by the number of Necro Spirits, but realizing their strength, their faces became exceedingly grim.
Yan Li’s eyes narrowed, stepping forward to shield the others, watching the tens of thousands of Necro Spirits warily, trying hard to suppress the turmoil in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Yun Hai, open the portal."
Yun Hai suddenly snapped back to his senses, raised his hand, and motioned to reopen the spatial portal.
Whoosh!
At that moment, a sudden change occurred. The Jade Token that Yun Hai tossed veered off its course, flying directly toward the Integration Realm Peak Necro Spirit standing at the forefront.
"Get it back!"
Yan Li’s pupils shrank abruptly, and he dashed toward the Jade Token.
"This is something I refined."
The Necro Spirit suddenly spoke, catching the Jade Token that flew before it, with a trace of reminiscence in its eyes.
"Senior Yan Li, come back!"
Jiang Chen suddenly realized something and shouted urgently.
Yan Li hesitated momentarily, glanced at the dozen or so Integration Realm Necro Spirits, gritted his teeth, and retreated to stand before Jiang Chen and the others, warily observing those Necro Spirits.
