Rumble!
A hundred feet away, the ground began to collapse one after another.
Decaying hands broke through the soil, and large numbers of ancient corpses slowly crawled out from underground.
One hundred bodies.
Two hundred bodies.
In the blink of an eye, the area within sight was filled with countless ancient corpses.
The lowest Divine Sea Realm Fifth Layer.
Among them were at least thirty ancient corpses at the Divine Sea Realm Sixth Layer, with the five golden-armored ancient corpses at the forefront exuding a sinister aura of the Divine Sea Realm Seventh Level.
This lineup is enough to easily wipe out any ordinary team entering the secret realm.
The sarcasm in Chu Yunfei's eyes deepened.
The Heavenly Mystic Secret Realm restricts entry to cultivators at the Divine Sea Realm Middle Stage or higher.
In other words, the highest cultivation level a participant can reach is the Divine Sea Realm Sixth Layer.
If hundreds of ancient corpses at the Divine Sea Realm could appear in any random wasteland, and there were even beings at the Divine Sea Realm Seventh Level, then this secret realm would not be a place of opportunity at all.
All those who enter will be wiped out upon landing.
This horde of zombies was clearly targeting only him.
"They locked onto the location and manipulated the ancient corpse, but didn't show themselves."
Chu Yunfei slowly drew the Abyss-Devouring Sword.
"Are you trying to test my cultivation level and methods, or do you want to deplete my spiritual energy first?"
Within his sea of consciousness, Xiaoxiao Dragon yawned lazily.
"I think so."
"If that old man was truly at the Good Fortune Realm in his lifetime, even now, with only a remnant soul remaining, he would certainly be extremely cautious. If he wants to seize your body, he will naturally first need to see how many tricks you have up your sleeve."
Chu Yunfei's lips curled into a slight smile.
"Since he wants to see it, then let him see a little."
The horde of zombies has arrived.
Hundreds of the Divine Sea Realm corpse energies overlapped and transformed into a sky-covering, sun-obscuring gray-black wave that caused large sections of the wasteland ground to crack.
Chu Yunfei's feet were slightly apart, Abyss-Devouring Sword was pointed diagonally at the ground.
He did not use the Great Heaven-Burning Art.
They didn't even reveal any of their trump cards.
His Divine Sea surged, and dark gold spiritual energy flowed along his arm into the Abyss-Devouring Sword.
The first layer of sword energy rises.
The second layer follows immediately.
The third, the fourth, and the fifth level!
Five layers of sword techniques overlapped one another.
The Abyss-Devouring Sword emitted a deep rumble, as if it carried a real ocean.
The five golden-armored ancient corpses at the forefront had already rushed within ten feet, their weapons slashing down simultaneously.
Chu Yunfei raised his sword and swept it horizontally.
" Sea-Overturning Ninefold Sword."
" Six Swords as One!"
The dark gold sword light advanced forward, skimming along the ground.
There was no earth-shattering noise.
The five ancient corpses at the forefront, all at the Divine Sea Realm Seventh Level, had their golden armor shatter the moment they touched the sword light.
Then came the bones, skull, and limbs.
The five ancient corpses were cut in half at the waist by the sword light.
The sword's momentum had not diminished and continued to pierce through the horde of corpses behind it.
Row after row of ancient corpses shattered with a deafening roar.
The gray-black corpse energy was crushed into nothingness by the sword's force, and the broken bones turned into dust in mid-air.
Boom!
The sword light didn't completely dissipate until a bottomless ravine was cleaved into the ground hundreds of feet away.
After the sword strike.
Of the hundreds of ancient corpses at the Divine Sea Realm, only a dozen or so remain, barely standing.
Lightning exploded beneath Chu Yunfei's feet.
More than ten afterimages, indistinguishable from real ones, swept across the wasteland.
Afterimages exploded one after another.
The last few ancient corpses were blasted into pieces by lightning.
The entire wasteland fell silent once more.
Chu Yunfei stood amidst the bone dust, his breathing steady, his hand gripping the sword without trembling.
Deep within the secret realm.
On an ancient altar shrouded in darkness, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly opened.
" Divine Sea Realm Sixth Layer..."
The hoarse voice carried surprise and greed.
"Such abundant spiritual power, such formidable talent, and the aura of advanced movement techniques."
" Ling Zhantian didn't lie to me."
The chains surrounding the altar vibrated slowly.
The voice chuckled softly.
"This physical body is even more perfect than I had anticipated."
In the wilderness.
Chu Yunfei seemed to sense something and looked up into the depths of the secret realm.
That sense of being watched lasted only a moment before vanishing quietly.
The opponent did not make any further moves.
Clearly, the first round of probing has ended.
Chu Yunfei did not pursue the location of the remnant soul.
It's not time to completely break ties yet.
He sheathed the Abyss-Devouring Sword and was about to leave the wasteland when a sharp sound of something cutting through the air suddenly came from the northwest.
call out!
A dark blue blood talisman shot into the sky and exploded into a huge cloud pattern.
Cangyun Sect signal symbol.
Chu Yunfei paused slightly, then a slow smile crept onto his lips.
"It seems the first group of people to deliver resources has arrived."
The azure blood-red rune lingered high in the sky for a long time.
Lightning flashed beneath Chu Yunfei's feet, and his figure swiftly disappeared into the edge of the wasteland.
The distress signal was located about two hundred miles away.
Using the speed of the Nine Heavens Lightning Escape, Chu Yunfei crossed several low hills and arrived above a sunken valley in just a few dozen breaths.
In the center of the valley, more than ten cultivators were engaged in fierce combat.
To be precise, it was an encirclement and attack.
Seven disciples dressed in the Cangyun Sect attire formed a sword formation, trapping four Rogue Cultivator in the center.
Three corpses were already lying on the ground.
The other four were covered in blood, their breathing erratic, and they were on the verge of collapse.
Outside the sword formation, a young man in a green robe stood with his hands behind his back.
This person was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with long and narrow eyebrows. He had no attempt to conceal his aura Divine Sea Realm Fourth Level cultivator, and he wore a Cangyun Sect steward token at his waist.
Below the rocky cliff in the valley, there grows a small tree that is entirely silvery-white.
The tree was less than three feet tall, and five fist-sized silver fruits hung among its branches and leaves.
The surface of the fruit has flowing cloud patterns and exudes a rich soul power.
Grade 5 Cloud Soul Fruit.
For cultivators at the Divine Sea Realm, the Cloud Soul Fruit can nourish their soul and enhance their spiritual awareness.
Especially when all five appear at the same time, their value is no less than that of an ordinary sixth-grade spiritual medicine.
Beside the silvery-white sapling, a black token engraved with the emblems of the Seven Sovereigns lay quietly.
Clearly, the conflict between the two sides stemmed from the conflict over the spiritual fruit and the Sect Token.
Fang Linxiao!
The trapped middle-aged Rogue Cultivator clutched his chest and shouted angrily, "We discovered the Cloud Soul Fruit first, and we obtained the Sect Token from the monster's lair. What right does your Cangyun Sect have to take it all?"
The young man in the green robe remained calm, not even lifting his eyelids.
"On what grounds?"
"My Cangyun Sect is a top sect in the Eastern Continent. You few Rogue Cultivator are not qualified to compete with me for this opportunity."
Fang Linxiao glanced at the corpse on the ground, his tone full of disdain.
"Hand over your storage rings and cripple your dantian, and I might spare your lives. If you still dare to resist, those three on the ground will be your fate."
The faces of the several Rogue Cultivator turned deathly pale.
Handing over the storage ring is tantamount to severing years of accumulated wealth.
To destroy one's own dantian is to suffer a fate worse than death.
The middle-aged Rogue Cultivator gritted his teeth and roared, "Everyone, we're all going to die anyway, let's fight them to the death!"
The four of them simultaneously unleashed their last bit of spiritual power.
A cold smile appeared on Fang Linxiao's lips.
"Act recklessly."
He raised his right hand, preparing to command the sword formation to kill the four men, when a calm voice suddenly came from above the valley.
"The people of the Cangyun Sect are indeed all just bullies who rely on their power."
Everyone in the valley looked up at the same time.
The young man in black robes stood on the edge of the cliff, the hem of his robes fluttering in the wind.
Fang Linxiao's pupils contracted slightly after he saw the person's face clearly.
" Chu Yunfei?"
The seven disciples of the Cangyun Sect also changed their expressions at this moment.
They naturally recognized Chu Yunfei.
Before the competition began, this person arrogantly provoked the Cangyun Sect in front of all the heroes of the Eastern Continent.
Although Sect Master Wei Shanhe did not make a move due to the imminent start of the Grand Competition, all the disciples of the Cangyun Sect could see that Chu Yunfei would not survive the secret realm.
After a brief moment of shock, Fang Linxiao's eyes quickly lit up with wild joy.
The sect has already issued the order.
Whoever can kill Chu Yunfei within the secret realm will not only be able to directly become a disciple of the sect master, but will also receive a Heaven Rank Low Grade cultivation technique and 500,000 mid-grade spirit stones.
He had originally been thinking about how to find Chu Yunfei.
Unexpectedly, the other party came to us of their own accord.
"It's like searching high and low without finding it."
