The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Chapter 1316: Chapter 390: The Divine Beast That Fell in the Desolate Forbidden Land (6k)_2

An oppressive and terrifying aura instantly enveloped everyone, making it difficult even to breathe.

"This... is this a Void Beast?!" Zhao Muye’s face turned deathly pale, his voice trembled, "How is it possible! The speed of the six-color Teleportation Array, and they can still catch up?"

Outside the passage, several shadowy figures could be vaguely seen darting past at an incredible speed, emitting eerie howling noises.

The shapes of those shadows were indistinguishable, and their ferocious aura seemed as if it could tear the entire void apart.

Zhou Qing’s heart tightened sharply, and his eyes alertly scanned the surroundings.

This was his first encounter with Void Beasts, and it was rumored that these Demon Beasts had numerous types and varied forms.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glimpsed the ivory elephant Demon Emperor next to Zhao Muye, equally uneasy.

This Demon Emperor, endowed with void talents, must be the most sensitive to the terror of those Void Beasts.

The inside of the Teleportation Array had descended into chaos, several cultivators leapt up in panic, drawing their weapons.

But soon, they seemed to realize something, all eyes turned towards that figure seated quietly.

Yes, they had forgotten that an Inspector was overseeing this journey!

Just then, Su Minghe, who had been sitting with closed eyes, slowly opened them.

Within those eyes seemed to be a galaxy inverted, an overwhelming pressure swept through the entire Teleportation Array.

"Vile beasts!"

A soft utterance, yet it thundered like a clap of lightning.

Su Minghe waved his sleeve, a dazzling golden light pierced through the barrier of the passage, shooting directly at those shadows.

"Aoo——"

A piercing wail rang out from the outside world, a sound seemingly capable of tearing through the Divine Soul, sending chills down everyone’s spine.

Soon followed the heavy thud of collapsing bodies and the wails of Void Beasts in their dying moments.

The passage regained its stability, the suffocating oppressive power receded like a tide.

Su Minghe withdrew his hand, his expression indifferent as he once again closed his eyes, as if he had merely swatted away a fly.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the scene, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Zhao Muye swallowed, his voice dry, "This... is this the power of a Celestial Venerable..."

Zhou Qing did not respond, instinctively tightening his hold on the girl in his arms, his heart stirred up in tumultuous waves.

In that moment, he truly felt what it meant to be a real powerhouse—in front of such entities, the Spirit Severing Realm was like an ant!

No, more accurately, the terrifying oppressive aura of those Void Beasts had undoubtedly reached the Supreme Realm, equivalent to the level of a Demon Emperor.

Yet, even such formidable Demon Beasts, in front of Su Minghe, ended up as nothing more than ash within a snap of his fingers.

As the howls of the Void Beasts completely dissipated into the turbulent currents of the void, everyone awoke from their dream-like state, deeply bowing towards Su Minghe.

"Everyone, sit properly."

Su Minghe’s light voice broke the silence.

Everyone hurried back to their positions, moving as if fearing a moment’s delay.

The passage quickly returned to tranquility, though deep within each person’s pupils lingered an inerasable terror.

The scene of turning to ash within a snap of fingers was indelibly imprinted on the Divine Soul of all present.

This was the might of a Celestial Venerable, the insurmountable chasm between them and a true powerhouse.

"What is your name?" Su Minghe suddenly turned to the white-clothed man standing beside Zhao Muye.

The man visibly flinched, instinctively looking towards Zhao Muye and Yu Yan.

Everyone cast surprised glances—the elder hadn’t spoken for over a month, now asking about this Demon Emperor, could he have taken a liking to him?

"Answering to the elder, the junior is called Bai Xia." The ivory elephant quickly stood up and bowed.

"Bai Xia?" Su Minghe’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Zhao Muye hurriedly explained, "Elder, please discern, he had no name before, this was the name I gave him. ’Bai Xia’ is a pun on ’Bai Xiang’, quite fitting. We usually call him ’Old Bai’."

Su Minghe couldn’t help but chuckle, "Your naming is indeed..."

He trailed off, shaking his head, and instead began to scrutinize the ivory elephant, "A branch of the semi-pureblood ancient dragon elephant, a naturally space-attributed Spirit Beast. Your Void Crystal Core was excavated?"

Upon hearing this, the ivory elephant’s body visibly trembled, he lowered his head, his voice deep, "Answering to the elder, it was taken away during my Demon King Realm."

The passage suddenly grew silent, leaving only the hum of the Teleportation Array’s operation.

Zhou Qing noticed Zhao Muye’s fist silently clenching.

"To have survived until now, you must have a tough life." Su Minghe said lightly, his gaze lingering thoughtfully on the ivory elephant for a moment.

"All thanks to my brother Zhao Muye for saving me, the junior now follows him." The ivory elephant said, a flicker of gratitude in his eyes.

On hearing this, Zhao Muye instantly straightened his posture, displaying a look of pride.

But when his gaze swept over Yama, his expression turned gloomy again.

Yama, however, pretended not to notice, maintaining his posture of respectful listening.

Su Minghe took all of this in without showing any sign of it, the corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly, he continued, "When advancing from the Spirit Slash Realm Perfection to the Supreme Realm, you must undergo the Supreme Celestial Tribulation, which is a life and death barrier."

Pausing here deliberately, Su Minghe observed as everyone instinctively held their breath, even the drowsy old hen wobbled its head up.

"Pass it, and it’s a vast sky open to you," Su Minghe’s voice suddenly turned somber, "Fail it, and you perish and your path ends."

"To increase the success rate of crossing the tribulation," Su Minghe continued, "in ancient times, a Fifth-level Array Master and an Artifact Refining master collaborated to create the ’Tribulation Transformation Map’, such a Supreme Treasure for tribulation crossing."

At this point, he suddenly turned his gaze to the chaotic currents of the void swiftly passing outside the passage, as if remembering something.
