248: Everything comes down to strength! It's time to reap the rewards!

Everyone only gets one chance!

Once they fall from above, they will lose this once-in-a-lifetime Opportunity!

"To reach the enlightenment platform, one must cross the river of yellow springs. Will there be any variables in the river of yellow springs?"

Ling Yu said in a deep voice, his gaze fixed on the distant river of yellow springs.

At this moment, Zhu Zixi and Wan Tianchao, who had already fallen into the river of yellow springs, had begun to move towards the largest Tomb in the distance.

Behind them, hundreds of Cultivators from various forces in the Outer Sea followed!

"Probably... not?"

Shen Xu was a little uncertain. Although it looked calm now, there was an eerie feeling everywhere, and no one could guarantee anything.

"Ah!!!"

As expected, no sooner had Shen Xu finished speaking than a sudden change occurred in the river of yellow springs!

Within the river of yellow springs, strange Divine Soul remnants appeared. These Divine Soul remnants were full of malevolence, shrouded in black light, and constantly attacked the Cultivators who had already fallen into the river.

Among them, Zhu Zixi and Wan Tianchao, who were at the very front, were affected the most!

"Divine Soul erosion! You've been dead for so many years, yet you still try to occupy my Divine Soul? Do you even deserve it!!!"

Wan Tianchao's eyes were wide, his face contorted in a grimace, as if he was enduring unimaginable pain!

Streaks of black Qi enveloped him, and the Divine Soul remnants swirling around him continuously drilled into his body, as if to devour him whole!

On the other side, Zhu Zixi was suffering the same pain as Wan Tianchao. Their auras surged, and the Divine Souls within their Soul Palaces deep in their Sea of Consciousness awakened. They used the power of their Divine Souls to suppress the invading Divine Souls. If their Divine Souls were devoured by the Divine Soul remnants of those great demons, they would become walking corpses!

"Everyone, be careful! The Divine Soul remnants in the river of yellow springs want to invade the Soul Palace and devour the Divine Soul. Do not be careless!"

Gu Lintao loudly reminded the other Cultivators. After his own Divine Soul awakened, he protected his body with a peculiar treasure bead, while another treasure bead floated above his spiritual platform, both protecting his body and his Divine Soul from erosion.

However, he thought too simply!

Even if these ancient great demons were dead, the Divine Soul remnants they left behind were not to be underestimated!

To cross this section of the river of yellow springs, they had to resist with the power of their true Divine Soul. If they couldn't stop the invasion of the Divine Soul remnants, they would either die or be forced to withdraw from this contention for the enlightenment platform!

"I understand! Only by withstanding the invasion of the Divine Soul remnants can one safely cross the river of yellow springs!"

"No wonder only a hundred enlightenment platforms were left here. If one's Divine Soul isn't strong enough, they simply can't continue to Cultivate on the enlightenment platform while enduring the invasion of these demonic remnants!"

Teng Mu, the Saint of the Black Tortoise Mansion, understood immediately after seeing the situation and combining it with the commotion in the river of yellow springs.

This was a test!

The Opportunity was right in front of them, but they had to pass the test to reach it!

After all, this was a great time to improve one's cultivation. If they couldn't even withstand this small test, how could they bear such a great Opportunity?

Everything was predetermined!

Perhaps that great power of the Azure Dragon Clan had already considered this when doing this!

"Everyone, it's our turn. Let's hurry!"

After Teng Mu's explanation, the Prodigies from the top forces of the Inner Sea and Outer Sea all understood the intricacies of this place.

Now, they could finally descend with peace of mind!

They were all Sons of Heaven, impeccable in both their cultivation Realm and the tempering of their Dao Heart. With preparation, they believed nothing could stop them!

Splash!!!

One by one, the Saints fell into the river of yellow springs. Within the long river of yellow springs, five or six hundred powerful Cultivators advanced!

The Divine Soul remnants in the river of yellow springs manifested images of Hell, surging into the Cultivators' Sea of Consciousness, depicting bloody massacres, falling into Hell, or even ascending to the Immortal Realm!

Each Divine Soul remnant displayed a different illusion. Its purpose was to make these Cultivators continuously lose their way, ultimately leading to their entire Divine Soul being invaded and devoured!

It was simple, yet dangerous!

The Saints and Prodigies from the various Mansions and Caves of the Inner Sea already had impressive cultivation, powerful Divine Souls, and carried treasures from their respective forces. Resisting the invasion of these Divine Soul remnants was not too difficult.

However, those experts whose strength was only at the Divine Profound fifth or sixth Realm, and whose Divine Soul power was far inferior to Soul Palace Realm cultivators, suffered greatly!

Everyone gritted their teeth and persevered!

Some could still move their feet while resisting the invasion with their Divine Souls, while others couldn't even move a single step, let alone hope to ascend the enlightenment platform!

"It truly lives up to being an ancient artifact. Such a layout, with interlocking layers and ingenious design!"

"It can both temper the growth of the Divine Soul and verify the Dao Heart. Those with an unstable inner self simply cannot obtain the Opportunity here."

Shen Tianxing stood on the bank, watched for a long time, and then came to this conclusion.

Liu Xianyun's beautiful eyes flickered. She silently took a sip of wine and said, "I can't even sense what's inside that highest enlightenment platform. They're all fighting over it, but I'm afraid no one will be able to reach the summit!"

"As for the other enlightenment platforms, we can certainly contend for them. Do you have any thoughts?"

Liu Xianyun was an expert of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm. A place even she couldn't see through was definitely extraordinary.

Her words were actually also for Liu Yueying and Li Tongshen to hear.

Although they arrived a little late, she knew that Shen Tianxing would definitely let everyone ascend the enlightenment platform.

It seemed like everyone was striving for their own Opportunity, but in reality, they could resolve opponents at any time, preventing them from achieving their desires!

Shen Tianxing recovered his senses, smiled slightly, and said, "If they want to contend for that highest Tomb, they'll have to ask if This Official Shen agrees."

"For a hundred enlightenment platforms, no one stipulated that a hundred people must reach the top."

"Everything is decided by strength."

As his voice fell, Shen Tianxing stepped towards the river of yellow springs.

This river of yellow springs was so similar to the Yellow Springs Blade Intent he had comprehended, only here it was revealing its true form.

The countless demonic Divine Soul remnants floating on the river surface were like creatures nurtured within the river of yellow springs, preventing anyone from crossing.

Liu Xianyun smiled upon hearing this but did not stop him.

The time for harvesting had arrived!

She knew Shen Tianxing wouldn't miss this good Opportunity!

Let those who deserve to die remain here. To survive, they must rely on their own strength!

Liu Yueying and Li Tongshen both stared blankly as Shen Tianxing entered the river, but both wisely chose to remain silent.

Anyway, these demons, ghost Cultivators, and evil Cultivators were not good people. Everyone came for profit, so they should be prepared to lose their lives here!

"Everyone, This Official Shen wants this largest Tomb!"
