Chapter 4789 So frightened my legs went weak
Just as everyone was preparing to seize the Sacred Origin Vein, a series of dark figures darted out from behind the boundary marker, as if descending from the sky, instantly filling the entire hall.
The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard. Even Jia Yu and the others were shocked. The appearance of these celestial ghosts put immense psychological pressure on them.
A Yin spirit at the Profound Saint level, or a Heavenly Ghost body at the Profound Saint level—either one possesses combat power comparable to a second or third-level Profound Saint.
There were more than forty celestial demons on the scene; how terrifying that must have been!
"Gudong..."
Many cultivators were so frightened that they swallowed hard, their faces showing fear.
"What...what is this thing? Why does it look so terrifying?"
The bolder cultivators, suppressing their fear, whispered to those around them, "What do you mean?"
Although the Heavenly Ghosts look very similar to humans, it is obvious at a glance that they are not true human cultivators. What is even more terrifying is that there is no trace of Holy Yuan Qi fluctuation within their bodies.
“These are Heavenly Ghosts. They have no consciousness and could not possibly enter the Holy Yuan Vein to cultivate. Someone must be secretly manipulating these Heavenly Ghosts.”
Jia Yu quickly calmed down. Years ago, an elder of his family had the good fortune to participate in the Apocalypse Clan's Spirit Awakening Ceremony and witnessed the birth of a Heavenly Ghost.
Upon returning to his clan, he told his family about the incident, instructing them never to become enemies with the Heavenly Demon.
"What is a Heavenly Ghost?"
Most cultivators looked blank. Only a few true old-timers had heard of the origins of the Heavenly Ghosts. The cultivators of the Heavenly Domain did not know what the Heavenly Ghosts were.
"What it is is no longer important. To leave alive, we must catch the person who controls the Heavenly Demons and kill them. Then these Heavenly Demons will become ownerless, and they will not attack us unless we provoke them."
Jia Yu took a deep breath and looked around. To leave alive, he had to concentrate all his strength.
It was a pipe dream for just a few of them to break through the encirclement.
The best way is to use sheer numbers to hold off the Heavenly Demons, giving them a chance to break through the Eight Trigrams Sect's grand formation and escape.
"What you mean, senior, is that the person who controls the Heavenly Demon is still underground and deliberately sent the Heavenly Demon to attack us to buy time for him to escape."
Soon, someone understood the meaning behind Jia Yu's words.
"Zhu Rong, you will lead a group into the underworld to investigate the situation. If you encounter any obstacles, kill them all without mercy."
Jia Yu was unsure whether there was one person or multiple people underground, so he asked Zhu Rong to send more people down.
"it is good!"
Zhu Rong immediately nodded and invited a group of people to join him in storming into the passage, hoping to find out who was behind it all.
The celestial demons swept across the surroundings without any warning or unnecessary words, directly charging into the crowd and unleashing a bloody massacre.
Heavenly demons have no intelligence or thought, and are fearless in the face of death. Yin spirits are even less able to perceive pain, so this battle is destined to be brutal.
In a short time, dozens of people collapsed to the ground, their bodies torn apart by the Heavenly Demons, blood and intestines spraying everywhere, a scene of extreme gore.
The members of the Heavenly Dao Society and the Taihe Sect, who were about to leave, were about to fight back when, strangely, the Heavenly Ghosts quickly avoided them upon encountering them.
The Ji family, Youlan Yunggu, Ziyu Zhai, and members of Shenye City were all ignored by Tian Gui.
At first they thought the celestial demons had missed them, but as time went on, they became quite certain that the celestial demons were intentionally avoiding them.
quickly!
They instantly realized something and immediately retreated to a corner of the main hall.
"Elder, do you know what's going on? Why are these celestial demons avoiding us?"
A disciple of the Taihe Sect asked an elder beside him.
"Don't ask, don't say, let's leave quickly. After we leave, no one is allowed to mention what happened today."
The elders of Taihe Sect vaguely guessed who was controlling the Heavenly Ghost.
"What's going on? Why aren't the Heavenly Ghosts attacking the people from the Heavenly Dao Society and the Taihe Sect? Could it be that the people from the Taihe Sect and the Heavenly Dao Society are up to something?"
Some cultivators who were fighting hard finally realized that something was amiss after seeing the Taihe Sect and the Heavenly Dao Society retreat.
“Something’s not right. Look, these Heavenly Ghosts have bypassed the Ji family, Youlan Cloud Valley, Ziyu Zhai, and the cultivators from Shenye City. These five major sects have already formed an alliance. There’s only one possibility: the person controlling the Heavenly Ghosts is someone from one of these five major sects.”
Finally, someone realized what was happening.
The Heavenly Demon only attacked them, allowing the people from the five major sects to leave. Anyone who wasn't out of their mind could guess the reason behind it.
"Which of the five major sects has such great ability to control so many Xuan Sheng level Heavenly Ghosts? Could it be that someone from one of the five major sects has broken through to the Xuan Sheng realm?"
At this moment, a supreme Earth Saint spoke up.
Only those who break through to the Profound Saint Realm can control a Profound Saint-level Heavenly Ghost; ordinary cultivators simply cannot control one.
"Zhu Rong has already gone underground, and I believe news will come back soon."
Tang Kun spoke up at this moment.
Just now, Tang Kun couldn't help but think of a person: Liu Wuxie.
This person has repeatedly created miracles. Not only is his luck extraordinary, but his cultivation level is also beyond the comprehension of ordinary reason.
If this person truly did it, then none of them will leave alive today. Given that person's methods, they will surely kill everyone.
Zhu Rong led dozens of powerful individuals along the passage and quickly arrived at the depths of the underground. In the distance, on the ground, they saw a masked man sitting cross-legged, cultivating.
Liu Wuxie did not leave the underground and continued to comprehend the Thunder Strike Technique. As he delved deeper, he discovered the power of this technique more and more.
"This must be the Heavenly Ghost controlled by this person. We should capture him alive immediately so that we can force him to hand over the Holy Yuan Vein and the method of controlling the Heavenly Ghost."
At Zhu Rong's command, he led everyone to charge directly at Liu Wuxie.
If Liu Wuxie is captured alive, not only will we obtain the Holy Yuan Vein, but we will also gain the method to control the Heavenly Ghosts.
With these celestial demons, they can sweep across the entire celestial realm, including returning to the ancient divine realm, and their chances of success will greatly increase.
When Zhu Rong and his group entered, Liu Wuxie sensed it clearly but did not stop them, allowing them to trespass.
"kill!"
The accompanying cultivators drew their weapons and charged towards Liu Wuxie.
With the treasure right before their eyes, how could they possibly let it slip by?
Liu Wuxie suddenly opened his eyes. He didn't want to make a move, but these people insisted on coming to their deaths. Since that was the case, then he wouldn't be so ruthless.
"The Four Sword Techniques of Heaven's Fall!"
To prevent them from escaping, Liu Wuxie immediately unleashed the Heavenly Fall Four Sword Technique, sealing off the surrounding area.
His first priority was to prevent them from leaking the news of this place, and his second priority was to kill them all.
"You are Liu Wuxie!"
The moment the Four Heavenly Swords Technique was unleashed, someone immediately recognized Liu Wuxie's identity. Looking across the world, only Liu Wuxie could simultaneously summon four magical treasures comparable to the level of an Ancestral Saint.
With all four divine swords unleashed, Zhu Rong immediately recognized that these four swords were of extraordinary quality, all being quasi-saint level magical treasures.
"You... how could a mere cultivator from the Heavenly Realm possess a magic weapon comparable to a Quasi-Saint?"
Zhu Rong sensed that something was wrong.
The man in front of him seemed to have only average cultivation, yet he could easily control a quasi-saint level magic weapon and also control a celestial ghost, which made the man feel a chill run down his spine.
"The dead don't need to know so much!"
Liu Wuxie waved his hand, and all eight Yin Gods rushed out. Each of them was comparable to a top-level Extreme Dao Earth Saint, which was more than enough to deal with them.
"What... what's going on here? Could it be that the mysterious person who defeated the Fengshen Pavilion that day was also you?"
When Liu Wuxie defeated Cao Jie that day, he unleashed the Eighteen Yin Gods, which many people witnessed. No one expected that the person was actually Liu Wuxie.
The cultivators who were besieging Liu Wuxie felt like their brains had short-circuited; no matter what they did, they couldn't connect Liu Wuxie with that person.
Many people recorded the scene of the attack that day. The aura within that person did not belong to Liu Wuxie. Could there be something unknown about this?
While they were talking, the eighteen Yin Gods had already launched their attack, unleashing a variety of astonishing moves that forced them to retreat step by step.
Surrounded by the Four Heavenly Sword Techniques, no matter how they dodged, they could not leave the underground world and were trapped within the Four Heavenly Sword Techniques.
"Young Master Liu, I didn't know it was you. Please give us a way out. How dare we covet the treasures on you?"
Some cultivators immediately backed down, hoping that Liu Wuxie would let them off this time.
Liu Wuxie's fearsome reputation has long been deeply ingrained in people's minds; almost every cultivator in the Heavenly Domain knows him.
Liu Wuxie remained unmoved by their pleas for mercy.
The eighteen Yin Gods attacked with increasing force, killing more than a dozen people in a short time, while the remaining people were still struggling to hold on.
"Quickly...quickly spread the message that it is Liu Wuxie who is controlling the Heavenly Ghosts."
Zhu Rong only realized what was happening at this moment and immediately took out a communication talisman. At such a close distance, it was enough to transmit the message to Jia Yu and the others.
Strangely, their messages disappeared without a trace, all blocked by the Heavenly Falling Four Swords Technique.
"It's no use. Unless we break the sword formation, no one will leave here alive."
Seeing that Liu Wuxie remained silent, the remaining cultivators felt their hearts sink to the bottom, knowing that they would have a very difficult time leaving alive today.
At this moment, the sounds of slaughter shook the heavens in the main hall. Most of the cultivators wanted to escape, but were forced back by the Heavenly Ghost.
The Heavenly Ghost is too powerful; even Jia Yu and his group have a hard time getting the better of it.
In a short time, blood flowed freely on the ground, and more than half of the cultivators were killed by the Heavenly Demon.
The eighteen Yin Gods gradually tightened their battle circle, advancing and retreating strategically. With the assistance of the Heavenly Fall Four Sword Techniques, Zhu Rong and his group had less and less room to maneuver.
"Self-destruction! We choose self-destruction!"
Since they couldn't leave alive, they might as well perish together with Liu Wuxie.
Many cultivators' bodies began to swell, and a suffocating aura emanated from them. If this were to explode, it would surely level the entire underground world, turning it into ruins.
"die!"
Suddenly, Liu Wuxie unleashed the Soul Transference Spell, and an astonishing surge of soul power swept out, easily piercing through those cultivators who wanted to self-destruct.
They died without understanding why their soul sea had suddenly exploded.
Such an unpredictable and terrifying method of killing even made Zhu Rong's legs go weak.
