Chapter 1846: Chapter 1846: Gathering of Powerhouses
Watching as the enormous tornado surged, engulfing the sky and earth, turning everything into darkness, Yan Muyu was so frightened that her little face turned pale. She stayed frozen in place, forgetting to evade.
"Quick, let’s go!"
Ye Wumei exclaimed, grasping the terrified Yan Muyu with one arm, and flew with all her might in the opposite direction of the tornado.
Although she was fast, it was ultimately a step too late. She could only feel the wind howling by her ears, and an extremely powerful force pulling them off the ground, dragging them toward the tornado.
Though Ye Wumei possessed the innate Wind Spirit Root, enabling her to control the Wind Spirit Energy between heaven and earth, once the power of the Wind Spirit Energy around her exceeded her own cultivation level by too much, she was powerless and unable to manage it.
In her panic, Ye Wumei gritted her silver teeth, her face pale. She immediately performed the Wind Art cultivation technique that Fang Bai had taught her back in the day, frantically channeling the Wind Spirit Energy to circulate, instantly surrounding herself with a thick layer of Wind Spirit Energy.
With this layer of Wind Spirit Energy protection, even if dragged into the tornado, the formidable power within would cause minimal harm to them.
Ye Wumei originally thought she could escape the envelope of the tornado’s ravage with Yan Muyu, but she didn’t expect the pulling force to be far stronger than she imagined. No matter how hard she struggled, it was to no avail. Both she and Yan Muyu were slowly being dragged into the eye of the tornado, where the destructive power was the strongest.
Ye Wumei let out a desolate sigh. She was prepared to unleash her physical potential, risking her life to toss Yan Muyu outward to safety when a figure suddenly rushed to her side.
The figure wasn’t burly, but the aura radiating from him was astonishing. His appearance momentarily paused the surrounding gusts.
Ye Wumei sensed the person’s aura, recognizing him as Feng Lingxiao, the Divine Eagle Sect Master. She assumed he had come to rescue her and Yan Muyu, and felt a sudden relief.
Feng Lingxiao was also a Wind System expert and a Thunder Tribulation Realm expert, powerful enough to contend with the violent tornado. If he offered help, both she and Yan Muyu could escape this calamity.
Sure enough, in the next moment, she felt a tight grip on her arm, as Feng Lingxiao’s large hand pulled her. They swiftly flew hundreds of meters away, outside the tornado’s range, and landed on the ground.
"Luckily, I noticed early on, otherwise, you two girls would have lost your lives. Both of you, stick close to me!"
After saving Ye Wumei and Yan Muyu, Feng Lingxiao glanced back at the tornado, let out a light sigh, and said to the two girls.
Even though Feng Lingxiao was powerful, he held a cautious respect for the tornado imbued with the might of heaven and earth. However, his love for talent made him unwilling to see Ye Wumei and Yan Muyu fall victim to the tornado, hence he risked saving them.
Ye Wumei and Yan Muyu were both grateful people, understanding that without Feng Lingxiao’s intervention, their lives would not have been spared. They bowed together towards Feng Lingxiao in gratitude.
Feng Lingxiao received their bow with calm acceptance, then said, "Both of you are rare cultivation talents. I couldn’t bear to see you fall, so I intervened. Of course, I also have a bit of selfish desire, hoping you might join the Divine Eagle Sect. But I wish for you to join willingly; I won’t force you."
Ye Wumei said, "Thank you, Sect Master Feng, for considering us. We will think it over. If we decide, we will inform Sect Master Feng."
Feng Lingxiao smiled and said, "Alright, then I’ll wait."
Along the way thereafter, Ye Wumei and Yan Muyu encountered several dangerous situations, all resolved by Feng Lingxiao’s timely intervention.
Because of this, Ye Wumei and Yan Muyu felt naturally grateful. If not for their continued search for Fang Bai, they might have already accepted Feng Lingxiao’s invitation to join the Divine Eagle Sect.
"Ahead should be the core area of the Blood Sea Desert. It is said to span a thousand square miles, rumored to be the ruins of an ancient battlefield. However, where there are opportunities, great dangers often follow. All of you must be extremely cautious!"
Seeing the gathering of thousands of Thunder Tribulation experts ahead, Feng Lingxiao turned to remind them.
Upon hearing this, the powerful members of the Divine Eagle Sect nodded in unison, their spirits also becoming excited and fervent. Everyone pondered whether they might be blessed by the heavens, obtaining a great opportunity and fortune to acquire relics of ancient immortals.
The power of Immortal Rank experts is unimaginable to Thunder Tribulation experts. Yet Thunder Tribulation experts know that once one ascends to become an immortal, they could possess life spans ten to a hundred times longer, able to enjoy immortal-grade cultivation resources unavailable in the Three Thousand Realms.
These two points alone are enough to drive countless Thunder Tribulation experts to madness, incurring any cost to explore this place for Immortal Relics.
For those in the Minor Tribulation or Mid Tribulation phase of the Thunder Tribulation Realm, acquiring Immortal Relics might not take them to the Immortal Realm, but it would significantly elevate their strength, making them formidable in one area.
Meanwhile, those Great Calamity Period experts hope to use Immortal Relics to break the constraints of the world’s rules and gain the ability to ascend to the Immortal Realm.
"Wow, so many Spirit Beasts!"
Yan Muyu suddenly noticed that in another direction from where human experts gathered, there were also many Spirit Beasts wandering. Some had taken human form, while others appeared in their original forms, casting greedy looks towards the Blood Sea Desert’s core.
These Spirit Beasts were comparable to the Thunder Tribulation Mid Tribulation or Great Calamity Period experts among humans, extremely powerful. Like the multitude of human experts, they coveted the Ancient Battlefield Ruins, seeking the highest-ranking Thunder Tribulation experts’ relics, or even Immortal Relics.
Human experts wish to ascend to the Immortal Realm, as do Spirit Beasts. Once they ascend, they become Immortal Beasts, capable of soaring through the clouds and summoning the wind and rain, a grand presence indeed. Additionally, the lifespan they would gain then would be even longer than human Immortal Rank experts.
Though there were more human experts present, the combat strength of Spirit Beasts was stronger. Should Immortal Relics appear, neither side would relent, and an intense battle would undoubtedly ensue.
Both human experts and Spirit Beasts were ready for an intense clash.
Immortal Relics drive people to madness.
Once the Immortal item emerges, it will surely trigger a massive battle, where human experts will fight amongst themselves, and Spirit Beasts will do the same, turning on each other mercilessly.
Some loose cultivators had formed temporary alliances, vowing to advance and retreat together. But once an Immortal item emerges, they are the most likely to turn hostile or stab each other in the back.
In contrast, the disciples of major sect forces would be more inclined to unite and stand against external threats.
The Divine Eagle Sect is one of the top sects in the Three Thousand Worlds. The dozens of Divine Eagle Sect experts present belonged to the first tier of strength among the numerous experts present, drawing considerable attention wherever they went.
However, at this moment, no cultivator would fear them. Instead, a number of experts showed malicious intent in their gazes upon them.
Once an Immortal item appears, these cultivators will enter a frenzy and dare to challenge even such a top sect as the Divine Eagle Sect.
