A white shadow with fluttering sleeves stood in the air, as if merging into one with the heaven and earth, and gradually her breath could no longer be felt.
But the next second, the white shadow burst out with an even more powerful force.
The sword fell, and the cold and powerful force came straight down on Edith's head, splitting the dark clouds in the sky in half.
"Edith, you are just too useless. If Cynthia was here now, she would never give me a chance to break through. But I also want to thank you, because your incompetence gave me a chance to break through. No wonder Cynthia said that you are a stepping stone."
Lei Xinyue's laughter resounded through the sky along with the sword, reaching Edith's ears harshly. The last bit of calmness was crushed, and she rushed straight towards the falling sword light. Her long whip stirred up a storm, and the sky and the earth changed color.
The fierce fight here soon attracted the attention of nearby zombies, and they all ran over here.
"Edith, don't be fooled by her!" Lehman was so angry that his eyes turned bloodshot.
This sword strike by Lei Xinyue after her breakthrough was when she was in the best condition and at the peak of her power. Even a genius would have to think twice before taking it, let alone Edith, whose cultivation was not as good as others now.
But Edith turned a deaf ear to his words, and Lei Xinyue used Edith's anger to block his attack. Lehman could only watch her and Lei Xinyue fight with a gloomy face, and then he and the other two surrounded and killed Yu Zilang.
He attacked with great brutality, Yu Zilang was covered in wounds and blood was flowing out like water, it might have been raining.
On the other side, the storm was indeed no match for Lei Xinyue's sword. After only a second of stalemate, it was split in half, and the hurricane around it suddenly disappeared.
The dark clouds also dispersed, revealing a gray sky with a hint of blue, but were soon covered again.
It rained blood.
Edith stared blankly at her bloody chest. Lei Xinyue on the opposite side quickly swung out another sword, and the sword light pierced through Edith's head.
A body fell from the air, as if it was not breathing anymore.
"Damn, you are so awesome. You actually learned from your great-master uncle to break through in battle." Yu Zilang's shouting voice came over.
Lei Xinyue's cold expression instantly broke, "Shut up!"
After saying that, she rushed over with a sword in hand, swinging out several sword beams to the left and right, forcing the other two demon geniuses to temporarily give up besieging Yu Zilang, who was covered in blood and had turned into a bloody man, and instead resisted the two sword beams.
After seeing Edith fall directly under the sword light, they no longer dared to be careless.
Although Lehman knew that the power of these two sword beams was not as strong as the sword that killed Edith, he had no choice. After all, these people were not their confidants. If they were, they would not be so uncontrollable.
Yu Zilang was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, but only just. Lehman was the top prodigy of the demon clan and was extremely powerful. Even with two fewer people, he could not withstand it. It would only slow down the time of being defeated.
"I never thought I would die here..."
Yu Zilang's eyes were weak and his will was on the verge of collapse.
"Yu Zilang, do you still want the most beautiful woman in the world?" At this time, Lei Xinyue's voice came over.
"Yes, of course I don't want to!" When mentioning the most beautiful woman in the world, Yu Zilang's face suddenly glowed with a new light. Beauty is his spiritual food. What will happen if he loses her? His life will change from color to black and white.
He glanced at Lei Xinyue. There was no reason why he would be worse than the other party. Old Hou often whispered in his ear that his talent was no worse than any other genius, but he just refused to work hard. "If you can break through in battle, so can I!"
After saying that, he took a step forward, and his aura suddenly changed. A large amount of spiritual energy gathered around him.
"I'm not Edith. You think I'm a dead person if you want to break through in front of me?" Lehman was furious and rushed over immediately.
At this moment, an extremely sharp sword light attacked from the side.
The sword's momentum was so powerful that Lehman didn't dare to take it head-on.
This is Feng Xinxing, who is also a top genius. He took a blow from Rona and swung his sword anyway.
If he took this move, he would most likely be seriously injured, and even if Yu Zilang broke through, he would not be his opponent, so Lehmann chose to avoid it without thinking.
Yu Zilang took the opportunity to break through, and his injuries were healing rapidly at an extremely fast speed.
"Impossible, how could your injury heal so quickly?" Lehman on the opposite side stared at him in disbelief.
Yu Zilang sneered. It was naturally impossible to break through some small realms. At most, he could only heal some minor injuries. However, Gao Han had anticipated this and distributed some restorative elixirs to everyone in the Zixiao Sect. They could be used at critical moments to quickly recover from injuries, even serious ones.
Unexpectedly, these elixirs were so effective that all his injuries were healed.
Yu Zilang quickly changed his clothes, and soon he turned back into the elegant, handsome and handsome man he once again.
"It's a elixir. They have it on them." Rona reacted quickly.
This conclusion made them feel depressed. If they couldn't kill them quickly, these people had elixirs on them. No matter how serious their injuries were, they could use the elixirs to recover.
Of course, the situation is not extremely unfavorable to them. Humans have elixirs, and so do they, but the effects are not better than theirs.
Rona's heart sank. He should have avoided Feng Xinxing and the others first and started looking for other human geniuses who were alone and weak. Then he would not have fallen into such a situation. It was too late to say anything now.
…
The other side of the fallen land.
Su Ming and Gan Mulan were also separated from the others. On the way to meet up with others, they unexpectedly met Tian Dongyu and his group from the Jishang Sect.
After Wen Hongru was killed by Zhongli Tingzhou, two more geniuses of the Jishang Sect died, and now only Tian Dongyu and three others are left.
Seeing the three of them, Su Ming vaguely remembered that someone was missing, "Tian Dongyu, aren't you with Yu Qi and the others?"
Tian Dongyu smiled, "Who told you that we will always be with them?"
Su Ming thought about it and didn't say anything else.
"Yu Qi deliberately blocked you and prevented you from helping the people from Zixiao Sect. You are still thinking about Yu Qi." Tian Dongyu looked at him curiously.
"We just have different positions. Yu Qi is still my fellow disciple." Su Ming disagreed.
"Tian Dongyu, if you don't want to fight, get out of the way. We don't have time to talk nonsense with you." Gan Mulan always felt that this person had bad intentions and didn't want to have any contact with such a person.
Tian Dongyu spread his hands, "In fact, there is no deep hatred between us. What happened between you and Hongru is in the past. Hongru is dead now, so this account can be written off, but..."
"But what?"
"It's not impossible for us to cooperate. The Fallen Land is now in danger. Not only are there demons and geniuses looking for us, but there are also corpses that may appear at any time. This Fallen Land is not friendly to us at all. Now that we have taken what we should take, we can also join forces to get out."
Gan Mulan said coldly: "Even if I want to go out, I will find other trustworthy people to cooperate with, instead of you who have a lot of bad records. I don't trust you."
Su Ming nodded. The people from the Ji Shang Sect were very unreliable.
If I stay with them, I don't know what will happen, so I might as well act on my own.
"That's such a pity." Tian Dongyu's eyes were filled with eddies.
Gan Mulan glanced at him, and to her it seemed that he sincerely wanted to go with them, but there was also a strange feeling in her voice.
Their relationship with the Jishang Sect is getting worse and worse, so they should avoid them. However, Tian Dongyu wants to go with them, which is a bit unreasonable. However, she couldn't figure out why, so she didn't think about it anymore and went with Su Ming.
"Senior Brother Tian, should we follow them?" asked the junior brother named Li.
Tian Dongyu looked at them with a half-smile as they left, "Not for now. They are so alert now. We won't get any benefit from following them, and it will attract corpse ghosts."
At this point, their hearts slowly sank.
Although they found some elixirs after coming in, their efficacy was still much worse than that in the Spirit Plant Fairy's medicine garden. Su Ming and Gan Mulan must have the Spirit Plant Fairy's elixirs on them. What if, in addition to elixirs that extend lifespan, there are also elixirs that restore spiritual power? If a fight really breaks out, the outcome is hard to predict, even if they have one more person.
Gan Mulan breathed a sigh of relief only after she was sure that they hadn't caught up. If Tian Dongyu really wanted to attack them, they might not be able to defeat him.
"Su Ming, let's go find some other people to join us. It's safer with more people."
"Okay." Su Ming also had the same idea.
Before meeting Tian Dongyu, they had actually encountered a corpse ghost and had a fight with him. Fortunately, they escaped in time and then met Tian Dongyu. If Tian Dongyu had taken action at that time, they might not have been able to win, especially since their spiritual power had been consumed by nearly half.
In every corner of the Fallen Land, they were not the only ones who thought so. Those who had elixirs on them all wanted to meet up with the Zixiao Sect, fearing that they would be targeted because they had elixirs on them.
Some are lucky, some are unlucky.
Jiao Yan and his group met Cynthia, and they fought each other, which attracted a large number of zombies. They found that they were surrounded by the zombies without knowing it. Both sides tried to break out while attacking each other, and the fight was very difficult.
Later on, they didn't dare to do this anymore because more and more zombies surrounded them.
They all started to get wounded, and the wounds scratched by the corpse ghosts emitted a black and gray aura, which was obviously a sign of being infected by corpse poison. If the poison was not forced out of the body quickly, it would soon spread throughout their bodies.
"Jiao Yan, what should we do now? There are too many corpses and we don't have time to force out the poison." Qi Shijie retreated back into the circle and took a breath.
Jiao Yan quickly replied, "Everyone take turns. After one person forces out the poison from the corpse, it's another person's turn. Use the spiritual medicine if you have it. Don't think it's a waste. If you don't survive to get out of here, no matter how many spiritual medicines you have, they will be picked up by others at a bargain price."
Everyone had no objection. As he said, it was better to eat the elixir yourself than to leave it to demons or other disgusting people.
Jiao Yan was the first to take charge. His sword energy could be used for group attacks, temporarily blocking the actions of some corpse ghosts. Several people quickly took elixirs to force out the corpse poison, and when they recovered, they would be replaced by the next one.
Everything went very smoothly for a while, and everyone moved quickly and efficiently, no one dared to drag their feet, until finally it was Jiao Yan's turn.
The tide of zombies was suddenly broken, Cynthia rushed over with her men and disrupted their formation, so they had to stabilize themselves again.
"It's not easy to escape from here!" Cynthia had a sinister look on her face, as if she had seen through their purpose.
Jiao Yan saw that she was also infected with corpse poison, which had not been expelled yet. However, the skin color of demons was originally bluish, so he could not see how ugly her face was now.
"If anything happens to us, you won't be able to escape," he said coldly.
Cynthia laughed and said, “So what? You all died here, and our goal has been achieved.”
"You are also a very talented genius. Don't you think it's a pity to die like this? Avid is already dead. As long as you get out, you can squeeze into the top three geniuses. It's legitimate and you can get or contact more. For you, it's a huge profit." Jiao Yan didn't believe that the other party would just give up the bright future that was about to be obtained. Based on his understanding of the demons, they might not be so selfish.
Cynthia's eyes flashed, she certainly didn't want to die here, but she also didn't want to return empty-handed. These people were undoubtedly her best stepping stones, otherwise once other people arrived, it would be even more difficult to deal with them.
"Stop talking nonsense. None of you can escape today!"
Cynthia rushed towards Jiao Yan. She could see that the corpse poison in his body had spread. As long as she could hold him back for a while and prevent him from forcing the poison out, she would have more chances to kill him.
The vines in her hand pulled away the zombies around her, and the thorns on the vines pierced into the zombies' skin, tearing off the skin. Anything that could break through the zombies' defenses must not be an ordinary magic weapon. No wonder even though she was also poisoned by the corpse, she was not as seriously injured as Jiao Yan.
Jiao Yan's face was very solemn. When he was about to make a move, Qi Shijie suddenly rushed out and stood in front of him.
"You were the one protecting us just now. Now it's our turn to protect you. Don't worry, I will take care of this woman. I can hold her off for a while."
The others didn't move, but they all consciously surrounded Jiao Yan, whose face was almost turning blue.
"Thank you." Jiao Yan said and began to force out the corpse poison from his body.
The corpse poison in his body has already invaded his meridians. If it were an ordinary person, he might only have one breath left. However, he is a sword cultivator, and his spiritual power can be transformed into sword energy. The sword energy of a sword cultivator is both domineering and extremely aggressive.
He drove with all his strength, and the poisonous corpses began to retreat as if they had encountered their natural enemy, and their speed was much faster than that of others.
In a place they couldn't see, more and more zombies gathered here, and the number was very large. People in other places found that they encountered fewer and fewer zombies, and thought they were lucky. When they walked to the front and heard a loud noise, they realized that the zombies went in another direction.
Out of curiosity and fear that other geniuses might be trapped inside, many geniuses also began to come here.
…
Just when they were about to come together.
In a valley.
The sky was filled with dark clouds, covering the entire valley. The valley was so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.
The strong can see at night, so this level of darkness is no hindrance to them at all.
There was a skeleton sitting cross-legged beside a dried-up stream that ran through the valley. A lot of the remaining energy in its body had been sucked away by them, and the power it emitted was also weakened a lot.
Immortal Lord Wuliang looked up at the sky. The clouds there were already very thick, and there was a faint sound of muffled thunder that was about to fall, just like the thunder in the afternoon, which made people tremble in their hearts.
Immortal Lord Wuliang's heart was indeed trembling at this moment. This was not an ordinary thunder tribulation at all. Even he could feel a hint of threat.
You know, although his current strength is different from when he existed in the fairyland before, and his cultivation has also dropped to the level of a mortal cultivator, but in terms of experience and performance, he is definitely not weaker than anyone else in the Lingtian Continent. As a result, even he can feel the threat of this thunder tribulation, which shows how extraordinary it is.
Not only did these two people break through at the same time, they also attracted thunder tribulations at the same time, and it turned out that the thunder tribulations "joined forces".
Originally, the power of the two thunder tribulations was already extraordinary. No one would feel good if any one of them struck them, after all, they were nine-nine thunder tribulations.
The Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulations have always been known as the Death Thunder Tribulations. Whether in the Lingtian Continent or when the Immortal Realm still existed, there were not many people who could induce this kind of thunder tribulation, and there were also not many who could survive the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulations. Ninety percent of them died under the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulations, which was very cruel.
But compared with the powerful combination of the nine thunder tribulations in front of him, all the previous ones are not worth mentioning.
Immortal Lord Wuliang had thought that they would break through, but he didn't expect it to come so soon, and it was a double nine-nine thunder tribulation.
"May your luck be with you. There is nothing I can do for you."
Immortal Wuliang now only hopes that they will not die under this double nine-nine thunder tribulation, otherwise his efforts will be in vain.
He absorbed the power from the skeletons of so many strong men, but died under the thunder tribulation. These strong men must have felt uneasy after their death.
He didn't dare to intervene and help them rashly, otherwise the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation might be able to sense his presence and increase the intensity of the thunder tribulation.
The Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulations are the most powerful thunder tribulations in the world, but the intensity will vary depending on the strength of different cultivators. The stronger the person, the stronger the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulations will be.
Wuliang Xianjun's gaze shifted back to the two people. One was a chaotic body, and the other was an existence recognized by the Samsara Pearl. They shouldn't be so unlucky, right? But if it was when the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulations had not joined forces, he might not have worried, but the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulations joined forces, which was equivalent to raising the intensity by several times on the original basis.
The double nine-nine thunder tribulation that has been brewing for a long time is finally beginning to show its power. The frequency of thunder and lightning is getting higher and higher. The lightning that cuts through the sky even penetrates the earth and the sky, causing strange phenomena in the sky and the earth that can be seen even by people far away.
"What is that?" The three demon geniuses quickly discovered this strange phenomenon.
"It seems to be a thunder tribulation. Such a large thunder tribulation suddenly condensed. Is someone going through it?"
"I heard that when treasures are born, they are also accompanied by thunder tribulations, especially some very valuable treasures."
The three demon geniuses looked at each other. They had originally planned to go to the direction where the corpse ghosts suddenly gathered to see the situation, but now they changed their minds.
If it is a valuable treasure, they can just take it. If it is someone who is undergoing a tribulation, that is even better. They can take advantage of the time when the other person is undergoing the tribulation to strike, and they can catch the person by surprise. If they can kill the person who is undergoing the tribulation, they can also make a contribution.
The three demons turned around without hesitation and ran towards the direction of the thunder tribulation. If they met corpse ghosts on the way, they would rather take a detour to avoid them. Fighting with corpse ghosts was the most time-consuming and there was no way to kill them all at once, so it was basically impossible to kill them.
…
Just when the fighting in the Fallen Land was in chaos, the war in the outside world had already broken out.
Dayan City.
The demon clan took the lead in launching the attack. Millions of troops attacked the extremely tall city in front of them with a deafening roar. The roars of the demons reached the sky, and soon they clashed with the human monks who were guarding the city, their faces flushed.
Blood splattered, and lives were being lost rapidly every minute and every second as the war began.
The strong men sitting in the rear did not take action until the fighting in the front was almost over. The mountains and rivers were all broken apart, and the dark clouds in the sky were quickly dispersed as soon as they gathered.
Behind the demon clan, two great monarch-level demons were not in a hurry to attack. One of them had eyes like copper bells and a pair of horns on his head. He stared straight ahead with an expressionless face. This person was Crofts.
"How?" asked another demon.
"The Emperor has ordered that as many people as possible be sacrificed." Crofts' expression was very serious.
In their eyes, they could see a surge of evil energy rising into the sky on the battlefield, and this evil energy was now flying towards them continuously.
However, this phenomenon cannot be concealed from the Mahayana period of the human race.
After a while, Elder Jiu discovered something was wrong. A large amount of evil energy on the battlefield flew towards the back of the demon, as if it was deliberately being drawn there by something. He ordered the formation to be set up on the spot.
The next second, a transparent formation was set up, which quickly covered seven or eight tenths of the battlefield. Sure enough, these evil spirits did not fly to the rear of the demon clan anymore.
Seeing this scene, Crofts and another great monarch-level demon looked gloomy. The human race was indeed fully prepared.
"Crofts, the human race is indeed fully prepared."
"Then let's start the second plan and notify them to take action. Now the human race's attention is attracted by this war. They won't think that we will send strong people to the Fallen Land." Crofts knew that the human race would be prepared and was not surprised at all.
"Okay." Another demon responded.
The direction of the Fallen Land.
Two great monarch-level demons were flying in a wide open space. After a while, they came to a plain with chaotic space. From time to time, a gust of strong wind flew out from the cracks.
Below, a group of demons were already waiting for them, and they seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
"Sir, we have located the location of the Fallen Land." One of them said.
A great monarch-level demon nodded and said, "Leave two people here to guard, and the rest of you follow me into the Fallen Land. This mission must succeed, not fail."
"Yes." All the demons said in unison.
After a while, the long and narrow crack in the air suddenly opened wider, as if it was opened by someone with bare hands, and two great monarchs and their men entered together.
