Chapter 13: A Large Number of Experts Enter
Suddenly, the outskirts of the Demon Realm were filled with surging Sha Qi, creating a massive disturbance. Most people in Xiguan Town witnessed it, and those in the second layer of the Demon Realm could also see it.
However, the outskirts of the Demon Realm and the second layer were separated by a restriction. This prevented people from the second layer from entering the outskirts and also stopped powerful Mo Beasts from the second layer from entering the outskirts.
"The appearance of Sha Qi is a bad omen!" someone exclaimed, their face paling dramatically.
"There's such dense Sha Qi in the outskirts of the Demon Realm. Could that legend be true?"
Many people harbored this thought, and they couldn't help but consider that the appearance of Sha Qi signaled the emergence of an ancient battlefield.
Countless experts had died in the ancient battlefield, and it was certain to contain many treasures. Many people's hearts stirred.
"The ancient battlefield has reappeared. Perhaps there are Immortal Tool fragments. Everyone should go take a look."
As soon as the words "Immortal Tool fragments" were uttered, everyone present felt their hearts pound.
Immortal Tools. They were incredibly powerful weapons. There was only one in the entire Vast Sky Great World, named the Tai Chi Seal, and it was held by the Primordial Sect, the foremost of the nine righteous sects.
Legends claimed that Immortal Tools possessed the power to overturn heavens and earth, and to churn rivers and seas. Even the Primordial Sect rarely used their Immortal Tool, only employing it to suppress their sect's fortune.
Even fragments of an Immortal Tool would possess power far beyond ordinary Spirit Tools, which were already extremely precious in the Vast Sky Great World.
Faced with Immortal Tool fragments, it was estimated that no one could remain unmoved.
Instantly, everyone present rushed towards the place where tokens were being sold, all wanting to purchase tokens that granted access to the outskirts of the Demon Realm.
This situation wasn't confined to just this one spot; almost the entire Xiguan Town was in motion.
The person responsible for selling the tokens initially didn't want to sell them to these individuals, as they were very strong and were typically cultivators who frequented the second and third layers of the Demon Realm.
However, he couldn't resist the threats from so many people. Reluctantly, he ended up selling tokens for the outskirts of the Demon Realm to them.
At least several thousand experts from Xiguan Town purchased tokens and entered the outskirts of the Demon Realm one after another, rushing towards the location where the Sha Qi had erupted.
These individuals unleashed various secret techniques, and some even used treasures like the Divine Speed Talisman to enhance their speed, all eager to reach their destination as quickly as possible.
Of course, some were more cautious and didn't rush in blindly.
If it truly was an ancient battlefield, it certainly wouldn't be easy to navigate.
Bi Fan didn't know how far he had walked. Regardless, with every step he took now, he had to stop to absorb Sha Qi and spiritual energy, which took about twenty minutes. This time was continuously increasing.
The Sha Qi and spiritual energy were becoming more and more violent, and Bi Fan felt extremely uncomfortable being in their midst.
If his body weren't being controlled by the Two-Colored Strange Lotus, Bi Fan would have long since fled.
Absorbing Sha Qi into his body was no easy feat. Even with the protection of the Two-Colored Strange Lotus, Bi Fan was in agony.
Unable to help with the absorption of Sha Qi and spiritual energy, Bi Fan could only idly observe the changes in the Two-Colored Strange Lotus from time to time.
After absorbing so much Sha Qi and spiritual energy, the petals of the Two-Colored Strange Lotus grew larger and more vibrant.
Within the stamen, the lotus seedpod also grew larger, almost taking shape.
The lotus seedpod was also black and white, half black and half white, resembling a Tai Chi diagram.
There were eighteen hollows on the lotus seedpod, half black and half white, but no lotus seeds yet.
The lotus seedpod was still very small compared to the lotus flower, but it was constantly growing. This should be a good thing, right?
Actually, Bi Fan wasn't entirely sure. He could only take it one step at a time.
The Two-Colored Strange Lotus was hidden within his body. He didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. So far, nothing bad had happened, which brought him considerable relief.
As the lotus seedpod formed, the Two-Colored Strange Lotus's speed in absorbing Sha Qi and spiritual energy also increased significantly.
Bi Fan felt this most clearly. He could sense the Sha Qi and spiritual energy forming an ever-larger vortex, surging into his body.
"Could this truly be an ancient battlefield? Otherwise, why would there be such dense Sha Qi and spiritual energy?" Although Bi Fan couldn't control his body, his mind was still working.
Bi Fan couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. He wondered where the source of the Sha Qi and spiritual energy was and if there were many treasures there.
At the same time, he kept a close watch behind him. If anyone followed, he would know immediately.
What puzzled Bi Fan was that despite the large number of humans and Mo Beasts outside, not a single one had managed to catch up.
Those outside were growing increasingly anxious. It had been nearly three hours since Bi Fan entered, and there was still no movement.
Was he dead or alive?
Everyone, even the Mo Beasts, watched with bated breath.
They wished Bi Fan would die. If he reaped any benefits alone, they would never be content.
"What should we do? That person has been inside for so long. The benefits have probably all been snatched up by him," one person said anxiously.
"No, it's still quite a distance from the center where the Sha Qi originated. He couldn't have gotten there quickly. The deeper he goes, the heavier the Sha Qi. Perhaps he's already absorbed too much Sha Qi into his body and died."
"Yes, yes. That person has been inside for so long; he must be dead."
It seemed no one hoped Bi Fan was still alive. They themselves couldn't venture deep, and they refused to allow others to be stronger than them.
They were all young prodigies from various sects, arrogant and proud. None of them bowed to anyone else, and none wanted to be inferior to anyone.
If someone managed to get ahead of them, they would spare no expense to kill that person.
While these people waited anxiously, several powerful experts suddenly appeared, their auras incredibly formidable. They were at least in the Mortal Transformation Realm.
As soon as these few people landed, more powerhouses arrived one after another.
Those Mo Beasts were so scared they trembled and fled in all directions, not daring to stay here any longer.
However, these human powerhouses were clearly focused on the Sha Qi and didn't even glance at the Mo Beasts, letting them leave.
"Who can tell me what the situation is with the Sha Qi?" a handsome man asked.
He was a Mortal Transformation Realm expert, and as his eyes swept over them, the humans present cowered and lowered their heads.
A human walked out trembling and said, "Sir, the Sha Qi is very powerful, we don't dare to go deep at all. Once we go deep, we'll go mad and die. However... however..."
"However what? Hurry up and speak."
"Sir, there's one person who doesn't seem to be afraid of the Sha Qi's erosion. He's been inside for three hours, and there's been no movement from him."
"What?" the handsome man exclaimed.
"Sir, it's true, everyone here can testify."
"Someone has indeed been inside for a long time, we don't know their condition, alive or dead."
"That person ignored the Sha Qi and advanced very quickly."
Many people started talking at once.
In just a moment, hundreds of powerhouses had gathered outside the Sha Qi area, and many more were still rushing over.
"Let's go, let's enter the Sha Qi area and take a look."
Finally, a later-arriving powerhouse couldn't resist and prepared to investigate.
One powerhouse leaped and entered the Sha Qi area ten meters deep, then strode forward, completely unaffected by the Sha Qi.
When one's strength reaches the Spiritual Wisdom Realm, there will be a Metamorphosis, a qualitative leap in soul, essence, and spirit, and even intelligence will increase significantly.
The Spiritual Wisdom Realm is a huge hurdle for the Mortal Embryo Realm, and many people cannot overcome it.
Once one crosses the Spiritual Wisdom Realm, entering the Metamorphosis Realm becomes much easier.
Breaking through the Mortal Transformation Realm is another major hurdle. Inner Breath will transform into spiritual energy, and the soul, essence, and spirit will all greatly improve, more thoroughly and intensely than the Metamorphosis of the Spiritual Wisdom Realm.
Therefore, the resistance of Mortal Transformation Realm experts to Sha Qi is far beyond that of those below the Spiritual Wisdom Realm.
With one person leading the way, others who were confident in their strength also entered the Sha Qi area one after another, moving quickly, afraid of falling behind.
Among the powerhouses who later entered the outer regions of the Demon Realm, there were very few below the Spiritual Wisdom Realm. Those below the Spiritual Wisdom Realm were self-aware and, seeing so many powerhouses entering, they directly gave up the opportunity to enter.
Twenty meters... thirty meters... fifty meters...
The first few powerhouses to enter had already gone fifty meters deep. Their speed had slowed down, clearly resisting the increasingly strong Sha Qi.
However, up to this point, no one had gone mad.
In a short while, nearly all the thousands of powerhouses had reached the outskirts of the Sha Qi area. Those who arrived later saw so many people entering and, without even understanding the situation, charged in directly.
They were already a step behind, and they couldn't afford to fall further behind.
"These powerhouses are truly amazing! They're not afraid of the Sha Qi's erosion. I wonder when we'll be able to cultivate to this level."
"It's too early to say they're not afraid of the Sha Qi's erosion. The deeper you go, the stronger the Sha Qi gets. Let's keep watching; I'm afraid there will be a good show soon." One person said with a confident look.
Shortly after he finished speaking, as if to confirm his words, screams suddenly rang out.
A Spiritual Wisdom Realm expert was seen rolling on the ground clutching his head, in extreme pain.
"Not good, he's gone mad!" Almost everyone stopped in their tracks.
There were a few companions of the person who had gone mad, wanting to rescue him, but he had already gone berserk and even started attacking those around him indiscriminately.
After a struggle, the person's seven orifices bled, and he fell to the ground, dead.
"Everyone be careful, the Sha Qi is getting stronger. Those with insufficient strength should withdraw themselves," a Mortal Transformation Realm expert shouted as a warning.
Many people below the Mortal Transformation Realm retreated, none wanting to go mad and die. The Mortal Transformation Realm experts were all bold due to their high skill, and not a single one chose to withdraw.
Of course, there were also some people below the Mortal Transformation Realm who, relying on their trump cards, prepared to go deeper.
The legends of the Ancient Battlefield were too tempting, something ordinary people could not resist.
After one person went mad, those people slowed down and became cautious.
During this time, some people felt they could no longer withstand the Sha Qi's erosion and quickly withdrew. They felt very unwell, but at least they didn't go mad and die.
"Ah!..." Another person went berserk.
Confident in his strength and possessing life-saving means, he gritted his teeth and persisted.
The Sha Qi's erosion was invisible and formless. Before he could even use his trump card, he had gone mad.
The screams reached the ears of those inside the Sha Qi area, chilling them to the bone and making them shiver all over. Many more people withdrew.
The number of people who chose to continue deeper quickly dropped to less than three hundred. These individuals were extremely cautious, and people withdrew from time to time.
