Chapter 2088: Chapter 2089: Malignant Spirits Emerge
This time, Ye Luo really went all out.
The energy was extremely slow to refine, causing murderous intent to rampage through his body. This feeling was utterly exhilarating.
Fortunately, his physical body was strong enough, so he didn’t meet an untimely death.
However, his current state was quite miserable.
Not only was his skin torn, but in some places, stark white bones were already exposed, which was truly shocking.
Yu Shu and Kou Lian couldn’t bear to watch. If it weren’t for Ye Luo’s vitality being relatively stable, they would have stopped him long ago.
Is this how one cultivates?
Of course, seeking abuse had its incredible benefits, as his power was slowly gathering.
The arena below had turned into an Asura world, and above, chaos was reigning as well.
"Damn it, what’s going on here? Where are the people of the Kunwu Sect, come out now! Do you intend to make enemies with the entire Sixth Region?"
"Hmph, what grand ambition you have, trapping us here! You really underestimate the heroes of this world!"
"Once I’m out, the first thing I’ll do is to flatten the Kunwu Sect!"
The cultivators here were cursing loudly, and nearly half of them were returnees.
They endured the intrusion of murderous intent while seeking a way to escape.
As for the rumors about the ancient arena holding treasures, they now saw it as deliberately spread by someone.
Laughably, they had believed it.
Some even suspected this entire setup was aimed at returnees, as there were quite a few who came this time.
More infuriating was that even now, more cultivators continued to pour in, both returnees and regular cultivators, mostly loose cultivators.
But the cultivators present couldn’t figure out what was happening and blamed everything on the Kunwu Sect.
Yet, the Kunwu Sect people were also in deep trouble!
At this moment, the Kunwu Sect Master, several Elders, and a few Supreme Elders were all gathered atop a peak.
Below them was the location of the ancient arena.
In front of them stood that enormous training tower!
Yes, it was the giant combined tower.
It turned out this giant tower had trapped everyone inside the arena.
The name of this tower was the Dragon Burying Tower.
"Our Kunwu Sect, passed down for thousands of years, now our legacy ends abruptly, truly sinful!" one Supreme Elder said sorrowfully.
He had once been an extraordinary Sect Master, stepping down for the sake of his realm, so his feelings for the Sect were naturally unmatched by other Elders.
"Those people are too overbearing. At worst, we’ll fight them!" a hot-tempered Elder shouted.
"Fight? They are a force that rivals the Dragon Clan. What right do we have to fight them? Moreover, we no longer have a foothold in the Sixth Region. If we don’t align with them, there’s no hope for us!" the Sect Master sighed.
This action had thoroughly offended the great powers of the Sixth Region.
"There’s no point in hesitating now. Besides, we are not without hope. If the ancestor’s soul appears, who would dare to touch our Kunwu Sect?" a previously silent Supreme Elder suddenly spoke.
At his words, everyone’s eyes lit up.
Crack!
A sound suddenly came from the sealing position.
Meanwhile, Ye Luo’s self-abuse had ended, and at this time, the killing aura dispersed, with the murderous intent in his body completely absorbed by the killing seed.
Aside from some bloodstains, he had no significant injuries.
His self-abuse had yielded great rewards.
But now, he had no time to check his body, as the energy in the chaotic region ahead suddenly became turbulent.
"Terrible, the second seal is about to be opened, let’s get out of here!" Ye Luo shouted.
Everyone began retreating frantically. The opening of this seal equated to the breaking of the formation.
The collapse of the formation would cause a massive outflow of laws and energy, which were extremely violent. Even Heavenly Martial Realm cultivators would die upon contact!
However, they had barely moved a few steps when a rumbling sound suddenly came, and the second seal was completely broken!
Everyone’s heart sank. They were so close to the seal that if an energy storm arrived, they would be the first to be annihilated.
But to their surprise, the violent energy was restrained.
The formation! It was the power of the formation; those Array Masters had anticipated this and used the formation to block the energy.
After all, they were closest to the energy spill.
With this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yet Ye Luo was stunned. With the second seal open, the murderous force became even denser!
But he still couldn’t understand why they broke the seal.
And there were more cultivators constantly jumping down, including both returnees and ordinary cultivators.
Were these people fools? Couldn’t they see the scene below? Yet they still came down to die, which left Ye Luo at a loss for words.
Moreover, he had long realized that this arena was impossible to escape!
Or rather, it wasn’t achievable at their realm.
Suddenly, shadows floated out from the seal!
This is!
Fierce spirits, they turned out to be fierce spirits! Ye Luo was utterly shocked watching this unfold.
Were these ancient fierce spirits? These spirits carried endless resentment and murderous intent, and they had even developed basic consciousness, though it was merely controlled by slaughter.
As soon as they floated out, they headed straight for the crowd, passing by Ye Luo and his group without even a glance.
But it still gave them quite a scare.
In reality, these fierce spirits couldn’t see anything; they acted purely on instinct, on slaughter.
The thick scent of blood in the distance naturally attracted them immensely.
Even the returnees were troubled by the addition of these fierce spirits.
These entities were immune to many attacks and were extremely difficult to deal with. Though they only seemed to have one or two levels of the Earth Martial Realm, they still caused the cultivators to retreat.
However, how could these fierce spirits let the cultivators go, starting to bite at them?
That’s right, not attack, but bite!
The current form of these divine souls was completely condensed from murderous intent and resentment.
Murderous intent wasn’t a big deal, but the resentment was a significant problem.
Resentment controlled the instinctual actions of these fierce spirits, leading them to gnaw at the cultivators’ flesh.
In reality, this was of no benefit to the fierce spirits, merely satisfying the instinct of resentment.
