770: Chapter 769 The Grandmasters' Killing Intent!

The periphery of Venerable Destruction's Legacy.

Grandmasters stood at the edge of the destruction aura black mist, their gazes fixed on the depths of the thick fog.

The black mist churned and surged, layer upon layer, completely obscuring the scene within.

They could see nothing, only sense that heart-palpitating destruction aura faintly emanating from the depths of the thick fog.

They wanted to break into the depths of the fog, to see if Qin Yan had truly obtained Venerable Destruction's Legacy, to see what that Legacy location actually looked like, and to see if they had a chance to get a share of the spoils.

But they had no way to do so.

The defensive power of that black mist was too strong, and the corrosive nature of the destruction aura was too intense; their strength was simply insufficient to penetrate deep inside.

Let alone Grandmasters like them, even if a high and mighty Venerable-level expert came, they would likewise be unable to break into the Core Area of this thick fog.

At Venerable Purple Thunder's Legacy location, several Venerables had once come to attempt to obtain the Legacy. Although those Venerables successfully passed the test of the lightning sea, they were ultimately forced to give up helplessly due to the condition set by Venerable Purple Thunder—that only those below the Venerable level could accept the Legacy.

As for Venerable Destruction's Legacy location, Venerable-level experts had naturally come to investigate it as well, but without exception, not a single Venerable was able to reach the Core Area deep within the thick fog.

According to those Venerables who returned in defeat, a great crisis was hidden deep within this destruction aura fog.

Starting from the middle region of the thick fog, mysterious and unfathomable rank 9 Formations were set up. Each of those Formations was enough to keep a Venerable-level expert busy for a while, and even with their formidable strength, breaking these rank 9 Formations was by no means easy; it would require immense energy and a long time.

And in the deepest part of the thick fog, there was an even more legendary rank 9 High Grade spiritual Formation guarding it.

A rank 9 High Grade spiritual Formation—that was a terrifying existence where even a Peak Venerable-level expert risked falling if they stepped inside.

Once this Formation operated at full power, a radius of several thousand li would turn into a shura killing field.

It was precisely because of these layers of rank 9 Formations guarding it that, in the long years since Venerable Destruction fell, no Martial Artist had been able to successfully reach the Core Area of the Legacy location.

Yet now, that Taixuan Holy Land Disciple named Qin Yan had inexplicably been guided inside by a black light—that black light directly ignored the obstruction of all the rank 9 Formations, passing through layers of thick fog as if entering an empty land, and flew straight into the deepest part.

If nothing went wrong, he was highly likely to become the first person in decades to obtain Venerable Destruction's Legacy.

Thinking of this, envy that could not be concealed suddenly welled up in the eyes of these Grandmasters.

They had struggled in the Ruined Battlefield for so many years, not even able to touch the door of the Legacy location, yet an outsider junior who had only arrived a few days ago had so easily stepped into that Forbidden Ground.

And he might even obtain Venerable Destruction's Legacy!

Among this group of Grandmasters, a faint, hidden killing intent quietly flashed in the depths of a few individuals' eyes.

Their gazes were gloomy, their expressions unkind, and the corners of their mouths turned slightly downward.

Venerable Destruction's Legacy had been taken away by an outsider, and they were unwilling to accept it.

If Qin Yan really obtained the Legacy, when he came out—they wouldn't mind acting like bandits for once.

Killing to seize treasures was a common occurrence in the martial arts world.

Especially for such ownerless items, whoever snatched it would be the owner.

As long as they did it cleanly and didn't get noticed by other Martial Artists, it would be fine!

Then, they silently retreated a few steps, hiding themselves in the crowd.

"Boom—!" "Boom—!"

Just at this moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from the purple lightning sea in the distance. Its momentum was far more violent than any previous time, as if the entire firmament had been torn into fragments in that instant.

The onlookers all looked up, only to see the purple thunderclouds above the lightning sea churning frantically. From the depths of the clouds, several massive purple lightning bolts, each more than several times thicker than before and at least a hundred zhang thick, suddenly struck down. Carrying the terrifying pressure of destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth, they smashed fiercely like purple Dragons descending from heaven toward the three Great Grandmasters who were struggling to cross the latter half of the lightning sea.

First Prince Jun Wentian and the other two Great Grandmasters all unleashed their methods.

First Prince Jun Wentian's Golden Body—the Heaven Punishment Lightning Golden Body—was pitch black all over, with black lightning patterns flowing across its surface, emitting a heart-palpitating pressure.

At this moment, black lightning circled his Golden Body layer by layer, like countless black spirit snakes, wrapping his Golden Body up layer by layer.

Those black lightning bolts were the Heaven Punishment Lightning, the result of First Prince Jun Wentian's decades of Cultivation.

The massive purple lightning from the sky landed on the Heaven Punishment Lightning Golden Body, and the purple lightning intertwined with the black lightning, erupting with a piercing sound.

But very quickly, that layer of black tribulation lightning began to take effect—like a sponge absorbing water, they bit by bit absorbed, converted, and assimilated the power of the purple lightning.

However, the Heaven Punishment Lightning Golden Body did not absorb it completely; a little purple lightning still struck the Heaven Punishment Lightning Golden Body.

The purple lightning left streaks of purple lightning marks on the Heaven Punishment Lightning Golden Body, like scars, which were particularly striking on the black Golden Body.

But First Prince Jun Wentian's expression remained unchanged, his steps steady as he continued forward.

And if First Prince Jun Wentian was like this, let alone the other two Great Grandmasters.

Although their Golden Bodies were also hundreds of zhang tall, whether in grade, foundation, or attribute, they were inferior to First Prince Jun Wentian's Heaven Punishment Lightning Golden Body.

Facing this purple lightning, the defenses they constructed were pierced, and layers of purple lightning landed on their Golden Bodies!

The purple lightning was like whips, lashing their Golden Bodies one whip after another, striking their Golden Bodies until they flickered on and off.

The light of the Golden Bodies was sometimes bright, sometimes dim, like a candle in the wind.

But they did not give up, still persisting in walking forward.

Every step was as heavy as a mountain.

But no matter how firm the will, it could not make up for the absolute gap in strength.

The two of them struggled to move forward only a small distance more before they could no longer hold on.

At this moment, the light on their Golden Bodies had dimmed to the extreme, and countless deep and shallow purple lightning marks covered the surface of the Golden Bodies, looking as if they could collapse completely at any moment.

They were still a significant distance away from the destination where the purple lightning symbol was located. If they continued to force their way in, once the Golden Body was shattered by the purple lightning and they lost the protection of the Golden Body, their own physical defense would absolutely not be able to withstand the frontal bombardment of these massive purple lightning bolts.

At that time, their Golden Bodies would shatter, they would be severely injured, and they probably wouldn't even have a chance to escape the lightning sea; the only thing waiting for them would be falling.

Therefore, the two Great Grandmasters immediately decided to give up.

The two of them immediately turned around and walked toward the periphery of the lightning sea.
