874: Another scheming guy

“What… what is this?”

After those golden-red eyes appeared, Gugor felt his thoughts slow down countless times, and a chilling sensation, as if being targeted by a being at the top of the food chain, emerged in his heart.

The feeling these golden-red eyes gave him was somewhat similar to the immense will he touched when receiving blessings during the annual ritual to worship the Mother Goddess.

Powerful! Terrifying!

Even the Great High Priest in the Holy City, the strongest of the Dead Spirit Race today, had never made him feel such pressure.

“What… what exactly is this?”

As Gugor was horrified, two flames suddenly appeared in those golden-red eyes that contained no emotion whatsoever.

At the same time, a mighty voice suddenly resounded between heaven and earth, around Blade City:

“Insignificant Dead Spirit, how dare you touch a True Disciple of my Xuantian Holy Land!”

“You seek death!”

The voice roared like thunder, shaking heaven and earth, and instantly shattered the gigantic phantom of a city that Gugor had condensed in the sky.

Immediately after, the flames burning in those golden-red eyes grew more and more intense, until finally, they erupted, transforming into two gigantic golden-red light pillars that crashed down onto the Guardian Array's defensive barrier of Blade City.

Boom!

A world-shattering explosion resounded, and the ground within several hundred miles violently shook. Blade City, like a toy, bounced twice on the ground.

Countless Undead Warriors and ordinary Dead Spirits were thrown into the air and buried by rubble at this moment.

Crack!

Crack!!

Crack!!!

Then, a sound like glass shattering resounded. Under the surge of terrifying chaotic power, the Guardian Array's defensive barrier of Blade City became covered with spiderweb-like cracks, like a porcelain bowl about to shatter.

“What exactly is this?”

“A top-tier expert of the Human Race? How is that possible!!!”

“The Human Race is no longer what it was a thousand years ago; Late Stage Ninth Rank is the limit. How could a mere wisp of projected power break the Guardian Array's defensive barrier?!!!”

City Lord Guger of Blade City was terrified, looking with extreme fear at the constantly spreading and expanding cracks on the Guardian Array's defensive barrier.

At this moment, his mind, like the defensive barrier, was filled with cracks and on the verge of shattering.

This scene was simply too shocking!!!

Those suddenly appearing golden-red eyes, Gugor had already guessed their origin: an old monster from Xuantian Holy Land, one of the Eight Great Sacred Grounds of the Human Race, a wisp of will projected by a top-tier expert of the Human Race.

However, even though he guessed it, Gugor still couldn't understand!

His Guardian Array's defensive barrier was enough to withstand continuous attacks from Late Stage Ninth Rank experts.

According to the current decline of the Netherworld Human Clan, the number of Late Stage Ninth Rank experts was extremely rare, and reaching this stage basically meant reaching the limit.

If a top-tier Human Race expert had truly arrived in person and shattered the Guardian Array's defensive barrier with one blow, Gugor could still accept it.

But at this moment, it was merely a wisp of projected will.

This was completely unacceptable to Gugor!!!

If a wisp of will possessed such powerful strength, how powerful would this unknown Xuantian Holy Land expert himself be?

Ninth Rank limit, or a Tenth Rank that hadn't appeared for a thousand years?

“Ahhh!!!”

“Help! Help!”

“Is the sky falling? The defensive barrier is actually going to shatter!!!”

At this moment, desperate and fearful cries continuously resounded throughout Blade City, a scene of wailing.

The cracked defensive barrier caused countless Dead Spirits to show expressions as if the sky had fallen.

And while Gugor was extremely horrified and Blade City was in chaos, Wang Chen, who caused all of this, was also somewhat dumbfounded.

“My… goodness!”

“Is the Supreme Elder of Xuantian Sacred Ground this fierce?”

Wang Chen naturally knew whose these golden-red eyes belonged to, but he hadn't expected the other party to be so strong.

Merely the power projected through the sensation of Zhao Tianci's death had almost shattered the Guardian Array's defensive barrier of Blade City.

This Supreme Elder of Xuantian Sacred Ground was definitely not just a Late Stage Ninth Rank.

Unlike the ignorant Gugor, Wang Chen had witnessed battles of a higher level of power.

The might emanating from the attack launched by the Supreme Elder of Xuantian Sacred Ground's wisp of will just now felt almost identical to Charles, the Wang-level expert from Bear Country, going all out, whom he had seen on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.

Charles was a Nine Revolution Level 272 Awakener, equivalent to a Late Stage Ninth Rank Great True Lord in the Netherworld.

The power of the attack unleashed by a wisp of will from the Supreme Elder of Xuantian Sacred Ground was almost identical to Charles's full-strength blow.

The strength of this Supreme Elder of Xuantian Sacred Ground had at least reached the limit of Ninth Rank, equivalent to a Nine Revolution Level 280 Awakener on Blue Star.

He had even begun to step onto the Dao of transforming into a Tenth Rank.

“Damn it!”

“Is this old fellow hiding so deeply? Bai Yuliang told me not long ago that he was a Late Stage Ninth Rank Great True Lord…”

Wang Chen thought of the information he had previously obtained from Bai Yuliang, the Saint of Xuantian Holy Land, and his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Good heavens, it turns out the Supreme Elder of Xuantian Sacred Ground had been hiding his strength all along!

This is also an old schemer!

“Hmm?”

Just as Wang Chen was pondering, a chilling sensation suddenly emerged in his heart.

Looking up, Wang Chen's back was instantly drenched in cold sweat.

He saw that the golden-red eyes in the sky had stopped attacking at some unknown point and had turned their gaze upon him.

Wang Chen clearly felt a hint of scrutiny in those eyes.

“Hiss!”

“Am I being targeted?”

He secretly thought that something was amiss, and Wang Chen prepared to retreat immediately.

Although Zhao Tianci was killed by City Lord Guger of Blade City, his “contribution” in this matter was also quite significant.

If it were truly investigated, it would be hard to say who between him and Gugor could be considered the murderer.

However, in the next second, the chilling sensation that emerged in Wang Chen's heart disappeared.

He saw that after those golden-red eyes looked over, as if their power was exhausted, they transformed into scattered points of light that were blown away by the surging hurricane.

“Not bad!”

Only a faint, almost imperceptible voice echoed in Wang Chen's ear.

“This…”

Wang Chen's expression immediately became strange.

Not bad?

He was a little unclear about what this Supreme Elder of Xuantian Sacred Ground meant.

He had schemed against the other party this time, and yet he received a “not bad” evaluation?

Wang Chen was a bit flustered.

“Hiss!”

“I can't wander around Xuantian Holy Land for a short time. These old fellows are all as deep as the sea, who knows what they are plotting.”

Wang Chen secretly pondered, deciding to avoid Xuantian Holy Land in the future.

With his current strength, encountering such old monsters, he might not even be able to escape.
