265: That's fierce!

The Boundless Sand Sea is an extremely hot place, and compared to other areas of the Ancient Battlefield, it presents an even harsher test for Cultivators!

Besides being enveloped by an endless supply of Demonic Qi, there are also boundless desolate plains here, with only black dust stained with countless demon blood visible to the naked eye.

Qi Yun has been here for a month!

The Boundless Sand Sea is enormous, and he was teleported here as soon as he entered.

Compared to other Cultivators, his goal was always this place, so he could be considered lucky.

The Boundless Sand Sea contains countless Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters, and it was a place marked by a former Saint of their Qilin Mansion. A Saint from the Qilin Mansion once used the Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters here to absorb True Spirit Dao Rhyme, enhancing his Foundation.

Qi Yun naturally wanted to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors and achieve his own success.

After entering, Qi Yun immediately contacted the other Prodigies of the Qilin Mansion. Their group of five had been in the desolate plains for over a month and had gained tremendous Opportunities!

However, the changes in the Boundless Sand Sea over the past few days had greatly troubled Qi Yun.

"Saint, I don't know what's happened recently, but the Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters in this Boundless Sand Sea are getting stronger in cultivation, and their numbers are several times greater than before. Could something have changed?"

Leng Qiuyan is a Prodigy of the Qilin Mansion, and also Qi Yun's Junior Sister, with whom he has a close relationship.

The Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters within dozens of miles around them had just been dealt with, and they could finally take a short rest.

Even for Soul Palace Realm Cultivators like them, endless Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters would make them tired.

Qi Yun looked at the dense clouds and said in a deep voice, "According to the records of our predecessors, the Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters in the Boundless Sand Sea all come from the Fierce Domain. Beyond here is the Azure Nether Valley."

"For countless years, this place has been unchanging; it's impossible for any major changes to occur."

"Perhaps there were some discrepancies in the predecessors' records. For our next actions, we just need to be careful to avoid large groups of Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters."

Based on his deductions, what Qi Yun said was not wrong.

However, what he didn't know was that the Boundless Sand Sea was directly connected to the Azure Nether Valley, and now the Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters there were all controlled by Shen Tianxing, being sent directly into the embrace of these Saints. So, hadn't a change occurred?

But these things, they were destined not to know.

Leng Qiuyan nodded slightly, feeling somewhat parched, and handed him some water.

Beside them, the other several Prodigies also had somewhat unstable Auras, clearly fatigued from prolonged fighting.

"Let's go, find a place to rest first. It should be better once we quickly pass through the Boundless Sand Sea and enter the Azure Nether Valley."

Left with no choice, Qi Yun could only choose to rest first.

With his cultivation, he naturally wasn't afraid of this small difficulty, but his endurance was useless; the other Prodigies' strength differed too greatly from his, making it impossible for them to hold on!

"Yes, Saint!"

The group of six followed an ancient path indicated on the map, heading deeper.

The Qilin Mansion, upon arriving at the Outer Sea, did not interact with the top forces of the Outer Sea. For them, these Outer Sea forces provided minimal help and were mostly a hindrance, serving no purpose!

It was better for their own people to cooperate, which was more reliable.

In fact, this was indeed the case!

Currently, many Inner Sea forces in the second layer were not only held back by Outer Sea Cultivators, but sometimes also suffered losses in manpower because of them.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Qi Yun and his group hadn't walked far when suddenly, booming sounds came from all directions. The dust in the Boundless Sand Sea vibrated as if experiencing an earthquake.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Qi Yun not only possessed extraordinary cultivation but also an incredibly meticulous mind. In many dangerous situations, he could detect them immediately, giving his people a chance to survive.

This was also why many Prodigies of the Qilin Mansion were willing to go out on training with him.

The other Prodigies gathered around Qi Yun. Those skilled with weapons drew them, some grew fine Qilin scales on their bodies, while others swelled up, their bodies expanding into mighty figures capable of holding their own!

Roar!!!

Soon, terrifying roars came from afar, dense and like the howls of wind and thunder, shaking their Divine Souls!

"Not good, Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters are coming, and their Auras are very strong!"

Qi Yun's expression changed drastically. He flipped his right hand, and a peculiar ancient mirror appeared, transforming into a three-foot bronze mirror suspended above his head.

This ancient bronze mirror was a trump card bestowed upon him by the Qilin Mansion Lord!

Even with Qi Yun's current Half-step Heavenly Phenomenon Realm cultivation, he had to bring out this bronze mirror, indicating that he had sensed the approaching Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters were extremely terrifying!

"Form the array!!"

Whoosh!

Leng Qiuyan, focused on Soul Cultivation, sent three Formation Flags flying into the Void Realm. An invisible ripple spread out, and a hundred-meter area centered around them was enveloped by the light activated by a Formation Flag!

The group had acted together many times, having already formed a tacit understanding in their actions, remaining calm in the face of danger!

The current arrangement was the most suitable!

However, Qi Yun felt a faint unease in his heart. For some reason, this attack by the Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters felt unusually complex to him!

Boom!!

Above the sky, a streak of bloody red light suddenly struck from afar, like a terrifying ghostly hand, slapping down from mid-air!

That enormous bloody palm was as large as a mountain, and its terrifying Aura pressed down like a towering peak, making it hard for people to even breathe.

Bang!!!

As the giant bloody hand descended, an invisible array pattern fluctuated. The array patterns above them revealed dense and mystical Dao Patterns, but in just one encounter, they were directly shattered!

Bang, bang, bang!

In the sky, three broken Formation Flags fell, and Leng Qiuyan spat out a mouthful of blood mist!

"Puff!!!"

"Junior Sister Leng!"

Qi Yun's expression changed!

Although Leng Qiuyan's strength was not as great as his, she was still a Cultivator at the third level of the Soul Palace Realm. In just one encounter, not only was her array broken, but she was also directly severely injured.

The Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters that came this time were very fierce!

In a flash, the bronze mirror above Qi Yun's head instantly erupted with a bloody light!

Boom!!!

The giant bloody hand crashed down, landing on the light emitted by the ancient mirror, and two terrifying forces were instantly unleashed!

A thousand miles around, dust instantly exploded, and terrifying energy surged like giant waves in the sea, sweeping in all directions!

"Puff!!!"

Qi Yun, struck by the violent impact, also spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Saint! Are you alright?"

"Saint!"

Each of the Prodigies looked surprised!

If something happened to Qi Yun, none of them would be able to return.

Qi Yun's face was flushed, his veins bulging, and a surge of anger in his heart was hard to suppress.

"Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters!!!"

"So strong!!!"

The dense vibrations grew louder and louder, and endless Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters were now in sight!

They were surrounded!

...The endless Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters, stretching as far as the eye could see, came from all directions like a floodgate opening!

Some were a hundred zhang tall, entirely golden, with shattered heads and cracks all over their bodies!

Some had snake-like bodies, human heads, and demonic bodies covered in scales, wriggling towards the crowd!

Some were like a toad, their body like a mountain, and miraculously, they had three legs, with a broken half-horn on their head, exuding a mighty Aura!

Each of these terrifying Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters possessed Heavenly Phenomenon Realm cultivation!

And the other Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters in the Soul Palace Realm and Divine Profound Realm were all different, with many being as massive as mountains!

This scene made Leng Qiuyan and the other Prodigies turn pale.

"Qilin Divine Might!"

Just as these Prodigies were at a loss, not knowing what to do, Qi Yun let out a loud roar.

On his body, peculiar Divine Patterns emerged, each pattern like a chain intertwining, or like golden Bloodlines circling his body, with golden blood constantly flowing within!

Puff!

Qi Yun spat out a mouthful of blood, and the golden blood sprayed onto the ancient bronze mirror. In an instant, the ancient bronze mirror erupted with a strong bloody light!

Roar!!!

In the Void Realm, a Qilin Divine Beast ten thousand zhang in size appeared!

This Qilin was entirely golden, with twin horns on its head, and its cold, emotionless eyes were like those of a supreme being looking down on all living things. Although it was merely a phantom, the terrifying Aura it exuded swept out like a thunderous storm!

"The Saint has activated the Qilin Bloodline, we are saved!"

Feng Xingyun's face was flushed red, Excited beyond measure!

As Prodigies of the Qilin Mansion, they were the future of the Qilin Mansion, and naturally knew some secrets that ordinary Disciples could not.

The Qilin Mansion had a long history; legend had it that the Old Ancestor who founded this Sect possessed the Qilin Bloodline and had world-shaking cultivation!

With his Bloodline, he could reproduce the Divine Might of the Qilin Divine Beast!

As Qi Yun acted, the terrifying Qilin phantom swung a claw, and a terrifying claw print appeared in the sky, like ten thousand towering mountains descending from the heavens!

Under the terrifying pressure, the terrifying bloody giant hand that had attacked Qi Yun was directly shattered by a single palm strike!

But this was only the beginning!

Wherever the golden light passed, for a thousand miles, all the Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters were annihilated!

"Saint, there's a way out!"

Feng Xingyun stepped forward, came before Qi Yun, and shouted in surprise.

Where the Qilin phantom had struck, a vacuum had formed. Even the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters could not resist and were all utterly destroyed!

This had forcibly opened a passage through the encirclement!

Puff!!!

Qi Yun's face turned pale, and he spat out another mouthful of fresh blood!

The cost today was immense!

He not only used the ancient bronze mirror given to him by the Qilin Mansion Lord but also activated his own Qilin Bloodline, which allowed him to open a gap!

Now, he had used one Opportunity of Dharma Body Power, leaving only one more chance for protection. Continuing would only lead to death!

"Go!!!"

Qi Yun's face was so grim it looked like it could drip water.

His heart ached!

But there was no other way; in this situation, he had no other choice.

The group of five or six, before the boundless Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters could fully encircle them, retreated first!

Everyone was in a sorry state, completely different from their high-spirited appearance when they first entered!

...In the distance, on a tall mountain.

Shen Tianxing and his group stood there, watching the show.

The plight of these Saints and Prodigies from the Qilin Mansion was seen by them without missing a detail.

"Truly worthy of being a Saint of the Qilin Mansion, possessing the Qilin Bloodline, and even carrying an ancient bronze mirror with the Dharma Body Power of a Heavenly Phenomenon Realm eighth-level expert. What a grand gesture!"

Shen Tianxing looked at the ancient bronze mirror with great envy!

It was a pity he couldn't get his hands on it.

Currently, he only had a six-story pagoda from the Vermilion Bird Prefecture. Although its power was not as great as the ancient bronze mirror before him, it was still quite remarkable!

To obtain this treasure was already precious; one should not be too greedy!

"I didn't expect even a Saint like Qi Yun to be forced to this extent. If he knew that this was all arranged by you, he would probably be so angry he'd spit blood!"

Li Tongshen shook his head.

Liu Xianyun's expression was calm.

This guy never disappoints.

"Qi Yun is just the first, but definitely not the last!"

"Right now, at this very moment, things should have started for the others in the Six Mansions and Twelve Caves!"

Shen Tianxing looked into the distance, very satisfied with his plan.

In the distance of the Boundless Sand Sea, Qi Yun had already led several Prodigies in a desperate escape, and the direction they were heading was precisely the Azure Nether Valley!

...At the same time!

In the bloody dense forest, Wan Tianchao was also facing an endless assault from Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters.

"Saint, we can't hold on!"

"Run!"

Many people followed Wan Tianchao here: three Prodigies from the White Tiger Mansion, as well as the Saint and Prodigies from Thunder Abyss City, a top Outer Sea force!

Most of these people were a hindrance!

Besides the three Prodigies of the White Tiger Mansion, who possessed cultivation around the third level of the Soul Palace Realm, only the Saint from Thunder Abyss City had entered the Soul Palace Realm; the others were all in the Divine Profound Realm!

Initially, facing these Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters whose cultivation was not higher than theirs, and relying on their large numbers, they killed quickly.

However, suddenly, endless Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters emerged from the bloody dense forest, and their cultivation was incredibly terrifying!

This was something they could no longer face!

"Go! Let's get out of here first!"

Wan Tianchao was not a fool; he knew that being surrounded here would only lead to death. He quickly led the three Prodigies of the White Tiger Mansion and turned to flee!

As for those Cultivators from Thunder Abyss City?

What did they have to do with him!

They weren't from the White Tiger Mansion, and Wan Tianchao hadn't even considered taking them along!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wan Tianchao had a tiger tally above his head, and his Aura was like a mountain, constantly unleashing terrifying fist energies!

In the bloody dense forest, endless murderous Qi emerged, and Wan Tianchao's eyes were red from killing!

"Saint, save us!"

Behind him, the cries of the Cultivators from Thunder Abyss City could be heard. They were already heavily surrounded and could not escape!

Wan Tianchao sneered but did not respond.

"Saint, the path ahead is cut off. The Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters seem to be deliberately blocking our way. They want to kill us here!"

Someone discovered that the mountains ahead were filled with Remnants of Ancient Demons and Monsters exuding terrifying Auras, scaring them so much their legs went soft!

"Hmph! They've been dead for countless years, and they still want to block my Dao?"

"I will make them completely perish!"

Buzz!!!

Wan Tianchao activated the tiger tally, and a trace of fierce Divine Might was revealed from the terrifying tiger tally!

Immediately after, a White Tiger body appeared in the Void Realm, covering the sky and obscuring the sun, as if the White Tiger Sacred Beast had been Reborn!
