And yet.
A pair of colossal scarlet palms, so vast their edges could not be seen, reached in from beyond the barrier, their might bearing down upon the mountains and rivers of Burial Heaven Mound's lineage!
The sight resembled a world-ending calamity. Outside the barrier, a shocking ghost formation ran rampant, actually standing toe-to-toe with Burial Heaven Mound's ancient formation.
All auras had been concealed by ghostly qi. This seemed to be a killing trap laid over many years. Immortals could not investigate it, and countless living beings could not know of it. Burial Heaven Mound's two Immortal ancestors were locked in a heaven-shaking battle with that mysterious Peak Immortal.
They wanted to seek aid from Taiyi Ghost Gate and Five Aggregates Immortal Sect, yet received no response. Every method had been blocked by that astonishingly powerful Peak Immortal aura. Their only choice was to kill their way out!
And just as the two of them held back that Peak Immortal and tried to let their juniors break free, the powerful ghost cultivators of the Eastern Wasteland all moved. Great Vehicle Realm Venerables and Tribulation Transcendence Realm Venerables surged forth, even including the Eastern Wasteland's Longevity Clan—the Ye Clan!
The Eastern Wasteland had always been a rather peculiar great cultivation region. Powerful Eastern Wasteland cultivators guarded its borders in all directions, making it extremely exclusionary.

Their purpose was equally clear: annihilate Burial Heaven Mound entirely, leaving not even a blade of grass behind!
Bloodlight surged into the heavens. Countless Burial Heaven Mound cultivators bellowed bloodily across the land before falling unwillingly. Even young children followed behind to fight. Burial Heaven Mound's inheritance had no cultivators who died
