244: True opportunities are always accompanied by enormous risks!

"That's Gu Lintao, a Loose Cultivator from the Ghost Cave Sea Domain. I heard he once obtained the Legacy of a Half-step Celestial Phenomenon Realm Senior. He's only twenty-nine, but his strength has already reached the sixth stage of the Soul Palace Realm!"

"That's the Young Lord of Bohai City! His father is a Half-step Celestial Phenomenon Realm Cultivator. A year ago, he also broke through to the Soul Palace Realm. He truly lives up to his reputation as a Prodigy of the city!"

"And that one, Young Master Murong Yuan of the Murong family from Julang City..."

When these dozen Soul Palace Realm cultivators appeared, they were immediately recognized by the experts from various forces present. Everyone was very surprised.

No one had noticed that they had also arrived.

However, what followed was immense joy!

The Restriction before them obviously required powerful Cultivators to open. Now, with these several Soul Palace Realm experts taking action, they all had hope of entering the Endless Soul Sea!

Boom!!!

After a few words, the dozen Soul Palace Realm cultivators began to act.

Time waits for no one!

They were unwilling to simply hand over the Opportunities within the Endless Soul Sea!

The only way was for everyone to work together and open the Restriction!

Once they entered too late, those Saints from the Inner Sea wouldn't leave them a single chance!

"Three Souls Imperial Sea Banner!"

Gu Lintao stretched out his palm, and three black soul banners leaped out from his palm. The soul banners grew with the wind, transforming into a hundred zhang in size!

Black lightning coiled within the soul banners, emitting a brilliant light!

"Dragon Elephant Golden Body!!"

As Gu Lintao made his move, Tu Tianhu, a Prodigy from Haisha City, also stepped forward. He roared, his muscles bulging like a small mountain. His muscles were intertwined like small Dragons, full of explosive power!

A phantom of a Dragon Elephant vaguely appeared in the Void Realm!

Boom!!!

As one Soul Palace Realm expert after another made their move, the other Cultivators naturally couldn't just stand by and watch.

This concerned a major Opportunity, and at this moment, no one would hold back!

"Everyone, let's work together and lend a hand to these powerful individuals!"

Thousands of Cultivators attacked simultaneously, each of them at least a Divine Profound Realm expert. Which one of them didn't have some trump card?

Some directly took out their Magic Treasures, releasing their power and blasting towards the dense clouds.

Some directly unleashed the power of their Bloodline, using the power of their primal Bloodline to attack. Some ghost Cultivators opened their ghostly domains, and terrifying yin spirits emerged from them, rushing into the black mist... Intense rumbling sounds continuously came, and within the clouds, streaks of lightning were shattered, and the sweeping storms were continuously dispersed.

The great waves surged, and a bull-headed great demon emitting a savage Dragon Qi roared, striking out with a punch!

The might of the Ox Demon, its violent aura displayed, shattered the towering waves with a single punch!

Despite coming from different forces, and many of the Cultivators being Loose Cultivators, their strength was actually not weak!

Crack!!!

Finally, after the attacks of a thousand Cultivators, a huge crack was finally blasted into the dense black mist!

"The Restriction is open! Quick, rush in!!!"

As soon as the Restriction opened, figures swiftly flew away, hoping to use the momentarily opened crack to rush into the Endless Soul Sea!

"These people really have a way. With collective effort, everyone working together, they actually opened this Restriction."

Li Tongshen was a little surprised.

He originally thought that most of these people, like him, wouldn't be able to get in.

Now, it seemed he had thought too simply!

"You're celebrating too early!"

Shen Tianxing once again struck him down.

Li Tongshen's face darkened, cursing this guy for always ruining things.

"Do you think there will be another change? Their combined effort has already worked!"

Li Tongshen disagreed with him.

"At first, everyone working together was effective, but who said it would allow everyone to pass?"

"Didn't you notice that after the strongest Cultivators passed through, those cracks have already started to close?"

"The remaining people probably won't have it so easy to pass this stage."

Shen Tianxing's words were not without reason!

Once the strongest Soul Palace Realm cultivators passed through, they certainly wouldn't care about the lives of those behind them!

By the time the opened cracks closed, most of the Divine Profound Realm cultivators who weren't strong enough would probably die!

Did they really think that a great Opportunity like the Endless Soul Sea would be so easy to pass?

Even the Saints had to exert their full strength to open the passage. Why should these Cultivators enter so easily?

They were thinking too much!

Li Tongshen looked disbelieving, but still turned his gaze towards the clouds.

At this moment, many Cultivators had rushed into the clouds. Soul Palace Realm and Divine Profound Realm cultivators used their true essence to support huge protective shields, quickly rushing into the depths of the clouds during this brief period.

They didn't notice that from the depths of the opened cracks, a terrifying power fluctuation suddenly surged!

Crack!! Crack!!

The next second, lightning flashed and storms swept, as if a giant beast that had slumbered for countless years had awakened. Terrifying lightning flashed, striking directly down upon these Cultivators!

Dong!!!

The protective shields were struck by streaks of lightning, immediately emitting a dull sound, like a bell tolling in the hearts of many Cultivators!

"Everyone, hold on, hurry!"

Some Cultivators realized something was wrong and quickly shouted hysterically, panic appearing in their eyes.

For a thousand Cultivators to pass through together, how could it be so simple!

Woo... The sound of the storm grew more eerie, and in the distance, the great waves once again gathered into thousand-meter waves, rushing towards them!

"Ah!!! Save me!"

Finally, someone couldn't hold on and was struck down by a thick, pillar-like lightning bolt. What awaited him was a terrifying, raging storm that tore him to shreds!

"Ah!!! Quick! Hurry!"

This scene was the true beginning of the collapse of these Cultivators' mental defenses!

Whoosh!!!

The tidal waves swept in, and the already shattered protective shields could no longer hold on, directly breaking apart!

"Ah!!!"

In an instant, dozens of figures were directly overturned by the great waves, swept into the deep sea, never to make another ripple.

Human power is insignificant!

Even Divine Profound Realm cultivators, those whose cultivation had not reached the seventh or eighth stage of Divine Profound, could not independently endure the current disaster!

True great Opportunities are always accompanied by immense risks!

Not just anyone can go in and make a fortune.

Everyone panicked, no longer able to maintain their previous formation. No one used their true essence to support others in moving forward. Seeing that the forcibly opened cracks were getting smaller and smaller, and the clouds were about to cover the passage!

Everyone started rushing into the depths of the clouds on their own.

Lightning and storms continuously struck, each time annihilating dozens of Cultivators.

The team of a thousand people was suddenly reduced by more than half!

A heavy price!

Even Cultivators could not truly withstand such power!

By the time the clouds completely reformed, all the Cultivators who couldn't pass through the clouds were dead!

..."You were right! I didn't expect that even Divine Profound Realm cultivators would have a day where they become stepping stones for others."

The scene before them unfolded exactly as Shen Tianxing had said.

Mutual exploitation! Burning bridges!

Such things were not uncommon among the demons he had once lived with, but the demons of the various sects also had some backbone and would not be too ruthless to their kind, always maintaining a bottom line.

However, the demons, ghost Cultivators, and evil Cultivators in the Sea of Buried Demons had no bottom line. They would use others when needed and discard them like worn shoes when not, without any discussion!

Shen Tianxing glanced at him and said, "So what if they are in the Divine Profound Realm? This is not some extraordinary Realm. Once you stand at a higher position and get used to such things, you will find that the dark side of this world is more cruel than you imagine!"

With that, Shen Tianxing ignored him, withdrew his gaze, walked to the side and sat down. He leisurely unfastened a wine gourd from his waist and slowly began to drink.

This Drunken Dragon Brew he had obtained from Wanglong City, costing him a good number of Spirit Stones. Liu Xianyun had also taken a share, and this habit also came from Liu Xianyun, to take a few sips wherever he went.

"These Cultivators have already gone in. Aren't you planning to go in?"

Li Tongshen was surprised to see Shen Tianxing drinking here and asked.

He had gone to great lengths to spread the news, wasn't it to attract more Cultivators? Why was he suddenly in no hurry now?

He couldn't understand!

"I'm waiting for someone, and besides, it's not time to go in yet. How many more Cultivators haven't arrived? No need to rush."

The people Shen Tianxing was waiting for were, of course, Liu Xianyun and Liu Yueying.

He had sent out so much information, Liu Xianyun and the others would definitely realize that he was the one who sent it.

They would naturally come here to meet him, saving them the trouble of running around looking for each other, which would waste time and might not even be effective.

Li Tongshen wasn't a fool; he understood immediately.

He had heard Liu Xianyun's name before; she was incredibly beautiful and unbelievably powerful!

Liu Yueying, once a Prodigy of the Heaven Mending Sect, was even more of a kindred spirit to him. After the battle in the Luoying Mountain Range, they went their separate ways. Now, seeing her again, things had long since changed.

Whoosh... In the sky, two streaks of brilliant light broke through the Void Realm. Shen Tianxing, who was drinking, his eyes lit up.

"They're here, and quite fast too."

Putting the wine gourd back on his waist, Shen Tianxing rose from the stone, watching the two streaks of light descend from the sky.

The arrivals were indeed Liu Xianyun and Liu Yueying.

He had already set up array patterns on this island, so even those Saints couldn't detect him here. Only a Heavenly Phenomenon Realm powerhouse like Liu Xianyun, once she arrived, would be able to see through it at a glance.

"My Lord!"

The two landed, Liu Yueying's face slightly flushed, greeting him first.

Liu Xianyun walked over with her long legs, her dazzling figure appearing even more alluring, with a hint of joy in her beautiful eyes.

This mature beauty was becoming more and more charming.

"I've been waiting here for quite some time. It seems I didn't wait in vain; you finally came."

Shen Tianxing smiled and nodded, a satisfied expression on his face.

Liu Xianyun smiled slightly and said, "Your method is good. It not only allows us to find you effortlessly but also attracts so many Cultivators here. Isn't that exactly what you wanted?"

Shen Tianxing smiled; Liu Xianyun understood him.

"Li Tongshen? You also entered the Secret Realm and met My Lord?"

Liu Yueying only noticed Li Tongshen standing behind Shen Tianxing at this moment, with an incredulous look.

The two were old acquaintances. They were once both Prodigies and had many confrontations, so they were very familiar with each other.

Li Tongshen gave a wry smile and said, "Junior Sister Liu, long time no see. I didn't expect us to meet again."

He dared not say in front of Shen Tianxing that he didn't want to meet him, but since he had run into him, he couldn't escape.

Besides, he was now half of Shen Tianxing's follower.

Following Shen Tianxing had many benefits, and he didn't have to desperately fight everywhere. Being his follower wasn't so bad.

"My Lord has forgiven us and let us off. You must not be foolish again in the future."

Liu Yueying's words were actually a warning to Li Tongshen. Liu Yueying's choice back in the Luoying Mountain Range now seemed incredibly wise. If Li Tongshen hadn't had an Incarnation, the grass on his grave would be very tall by now.

Liu Yueying hoped he would stop thinking about causing trouble for Shen Tianxing.

Li Tongshen gave another wry smile.

To cause trouble for Shen Tianxing, he would have to dare to!

The gap between them was so huge. Causing him trouble, wasn't that courting death?

He, Li Tongshen, didn't seem that foolish!

"What are your plans next?"

Liu Xianyun's beautiful eyes looked at Shen Tianxing. The relationship between them had long since surpassed what it was before. She would now consider Shen Tianxing's opinion in everything.

Shen Tianxing looked at the distant clouds and said, "Those Saints from the Inner Sea have already entered the Endless Soul Sea. I heard there's a great Opportunity hidden inside, which we definitely can't miss."

"Now is also the time to go in. Other Cultivators who are supposed to come should be arriving soon. Let's talk more once we're inside."

The Endless Soul Sea was a great Opportunity. Not only Cultivators like him in the Soul Palace Realm could get a chance, but even Heavenly Phenomenon Realm powerhouses like Liu Xianyun also had the chance to obtain extraordinary treasures.

"Oh, right, I obtained a good treasure earlier that's perfect for you."

As he spoke, Shen Tianxing took out the ancient sword he had obtained for the first time.

A three-foot green blade, entwined with Dragon patterns, with a restrained azure glow and no apparent sharpness!

It was precisely the low-grade Earth-Grade Weapon, azure snow dragon's cry!

As soon as this sword appeared, it immediately attracted Liu Xianyun's gaze!

Liu Yueying and Li Tongshen also cast envious glances.

"What a beautiful sword, perfectly restrained, with no exposed sharpness. My Lord, what grade of weapon is this?"

Although Liu Yueying couldn't tell the grade of this sword, she also sensed its extraordinary nature and felt a little envious.

However, such a sword was definitely not something someone of her level could use.

Shen Tianxing only smiled and didn't answer.

Liu Xianyun, however, immediately fell in love with this sword. She stepped forward, grasped the azure snow dragon's cry, and immediately felt a sharp edge emanating from the sword.

"An Earth-Grade Weapon?!"

The moment she held the sword, Liu Xianyun was startled!

Such a high-grade weapon, she could only look at it, never touch it!

She never expected Shen Tianxing to bring her such a huge surprise now!

"Give it a try!"

Shen Tianxing smiled, pointing towards the depths of the clouds.

Liu Xianyun nodded, her eyes sparkling with joy, carrying a hint of charm.

Clang!!!

The azure snow dragon's cry was unsheathed for the first time!

The moment the sword was drawn, the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm changed drastically. As a brilliant light bloomed, it was as if this entire world was split in half by a single sword strike!

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, the terrifying and unparalleled storms, great waves, and lightning were all shattered!

The layers of clouds covering the Endless Soul Sea were, for the first time, cut open by her sword!

Looking as far as the eye could see, the depths of the passage revealed a clear sea surface, from which an extremely rich azure Dragon Qi emanated!

The other side of the sea was precisely the Endless Soul Sea!
