The cultivators in the middle immediately rushed forward, with those at the Tribulation Transcending Realm in front and those at the Great Ascension Realm behind. As they charged forward, they cleared away the vines attacking from both sides. The scene was chaotic but orderly.
"ah!"
A cultivator in the late stage of Mahayana cultivation was caught off guard and his face was sprayed with poisonous mist by a Soul-Severing Flower. He instantly collapsed to the ground, convulsing and bleeding from his seven orifices, clearly beyond saving.
No one dared to stop. Even if those around them fell, they could only grit their teeth and keep charging forward—stopping would only lead to a quicker death.
Xiao Chen and his two companions followed the flow of people through the gap. As soon as they stepped inside the barrier, they felt the poisonous fog around them thicken, and the ground beneath their feet turned black, indicating that the toxins had penetrated deep into the ground.
"There's another cluster of Soul-Severing Flowers ahead!" someone exclaimed.
Not far ahead, a dense thicket of colorful flowers could be seen, each flower with serrated leaves, constantly spewing out poisonous mist as the petals opened and closed, making them even more difficult to deal with than the vines outside.
The cultivators at the Dao Inquiry Realm who were clearing the way had even more somber expressions, but none of them retreated—having already made it this far, retreating now would mean all their previous sacrifices were for nothing.
"Let's fight!" Old Ancestor Pan Shi cleaved through the poisonous mist in front of him with his axe. "Break through the flower bushes, and the road will be smooth!"
The thirteen cultivators at the Dao Inquiry Realm exerted their power once more, unleashing a variety of secret techniques and magical artifacts. Golden light, flames, and lightning intertwined, forcefully tearing a path through the flower bushes.
The cultivators in the middle followed closely behind. Xiao Chen and his two companions mingled in the crowd, their eyes scanning their surroundings warily, while also keeping an eye on the condition of those at the Dao Inquiry Realm—their spiritual energy was greatly depleted, their auras were getting weaker and weaker, and they were clearly at their limit.
Xiao Chen gripped the spear tightly, and Jiang Li's hand rested on the hilt of the sword.
It will be soon.
When these people can no longer hold on, that's when they'll make their move.
After passing through this field of Soul-Severing Flowers, what awaits everyone is no longer a temporary alliance, but a brutal and undisguised battle centered around the heart of the world.
