Chapter One Fainted

  "Roar!"

  A loud roar suddenly rose, and the thick white mist instantly turned into a giant skull palm, grabbing towards Yang Qingtian. Under the giant palm, space twisted, and Yang Qingtian seemed to fall into hell in an instant, with mountains of bones, seas of corpses, and blood waves soaring to the sky.

  Facing this distorted space, Yang Jingtian's eyes were like swords, and he let out a stern cry. In an instant, the sword light rose, and a dazzling sword aura illuminated the entire sky and earth, colliding with the giant palm that had been grasped.

  "Boom!"

  Clashing swords, fierce energy burst out, and a terrifying wave of air instantly sent Yang Jian Tian flying back to the ground.

  Suddenly, the urgent chanting sound on the high tower started again. In an instant, blood lights burst out from the eight buildings and shot towards the central high tower. The white mist that was scattered in the Soul Valley quickly gathered and surged towards the high tower.

  A ferocious giant skull appeared in the sky above the high tower, with two soul eyes burning like flames from hell in its deeply sunken eye sockets. A loud roar echoed through the heavens, carrying a terrifying sonic wave that swooped down.

  "Roar!"

  A terrifying sound wave stirred up a shocking ripple, and the surrounding mountain peaks of Soul Valley collapsed one after another. The weak cultivators on the spot were shaken to pieces. Yang Jing Tian's face changed instantly, and in an instant, ten thousand sword auras protected his body, tightly wrapping him inside.

  However, the terrifying sound wave pierced through the protective sword energy in an instant and slammed into Yang Jing Tian's body, sending him crashing into the ground in a split second.

  After a roar, the skull giant face transformed into "the projection of the underworld god", and its terrifying momentum doubled. Wrapped in golden robes, holding blood-colored bone blades, a pair of golden soul eyes stared angrily at the deep pit below the high tower.

  "Roar!"

  A white jade skull let out a loud roar, and with it as the center, wave after wave of death ripples shook open. A pitch-black void suddenly appeared above the high tower, and the sound of terrifying howls was transmitted. Suddenly, a shocking chant echoed inside the high tower, and the blood blade in the hand of the white jade skull suddenly burst into brilliant blood light. In an instant, countless powerful undead souls rushed out of the black hole, roaring as they charged into the bloody bone blade.

  Yang Jing Tian had just rushed to the ground, and before he could even catch his breath, he saw a white jade skull in the sky holding a blood blade slashing down. The momentum was overwhelming, with countless knife lights bursting out, forming a huge knife net that slashed down from the sky, covering everything.

  "Ghostly Blade Cage!"

  Every flash of the knife is a dead soul, roaring in between, turning into a heavy knife wave towards Yang Jing Tian.

  Facing the overwhelming knife momentum, Yang Jing Tian was not afraid at all. With a slash of his long sword, a dazzling sword energy shot up into the sky, instantly dispersing the rolling waves of knives. With a loud roar, Yang Jing Tian rushed towards the white jade skull on top of the high tower.

  "Roar!"

  On the high tower, a white jade skull let out a loud roar, and a terrifying wave of air rushed down, sending Yang Jing Tian tumbling to the ground. The two soul eyes of the white jade skull burst forth with a terrifying flame, and the blood-colored bone blade in his hand fell again.

  "Hao Ran Zheng Qi Jue!"

  Yang Jingtian's eyes shone like stars, his long sword flashed in his hand, the sword light burst forth, dazzling and blinding. In an instant, swords clashed, energy exploded, and amidst the deafening crash, the two figures tumbled to the ground.

  The white jade skull that was shaken into the air had not yet made a move, when a terrifying sword aura suddenly appeared above his head. In an instant, the sword aura not only split him in two, but also fiercely slashed onto the high tower, stirring up a bloody ripple.

  After a sword had passed, Yang Ba Tian's figure appeared in the upper air of the high tower. Looking at the high tower below him shrouded in blood light, his face was extremely solemn.

  In the control room of the high tower, the Soul Sect Master sat cross-legged and began to chant again. This was a sacrificial text dedicated to the God of Death, and when the chanting sounded, the Nine Underworlds' Devouring Soul Array slowly started to rotate, and a spatial rift suddenly appeared in the sky above the Soul Valley.

  This is a gateway to a foreign land, an ephemeral shadow of the Land of Death suddenly appeared in the sky above Soul Valley, and vaguely seemed to see that in a magnificent palace, there was a monarch wearing a crown who suddenly opened his eyes.

  In an instant, a terrifying death beam shot out from the portal of another realm, carrying boundless might as it poured into the high tower and surged into the body of the Soul Sect's master. Strange, ethereal songs drifted out from that unknown realm, making one feel as if they had heard the sighs of the god of death. The Soul Sect's master's power continued to rise, reaching the limit of the Emperor level in an instant. Suddenly, he charged towards the barrier of the Emperor level, seemingly wanting to break through to the next realm in one go.

  Feeling the terrifying pressure coming from within the high tower, the Yang brothers suddenly changed color. The two exchanged a spiritual and mysterious glance, then simultaneously turned their powers around, wanting to once again combine their twin swords and unleash their ultimate move.

  At this critical moment, Mu Qiu's figure suddenly appeared in the control room of the high tower. Looking at the blood-colored crystal, he smiled brightly, and with a swift swing of his long sword, the whistling sword energy instantly cut through the crystal.

  This sudden change was extremely sudden, and the Soul Sect Master, who was sitting cross-legged, had a look of extreme astonishment.

  "Boom!"

  The crystal that had been damaged suddenly burst, the high tower shook violently with the massive shockwave, and the entire large array suddenly stopped operating. The gate to another realm in the sky instantly closed and disappeared. This sudden scene made the Soul Sect Master extremely shocked and angry, his terrifying eyes glaring at Mu Qiu who had successfully landed a hit and turned around to escape.

  Just one more step! Just one more step and he would be able to break through to the Emperor level, entering a terrifying realm. Communicating with the Demon Realm, please come and assist me, O Dark God, this opportunity is hard to come by in a thousand years, even if it's just for a short time, it's enough to make him destroy all enemies that dare to attack.

  It was destroyed by someone, and the master of the Soul Sect was furious. He had just chased out of the high tower, wanting to tear the culprit into pieces, when he suddenly felt a terrifying pressure from the sky, and his face changed greatly as soon as he looked up.

  "The sword moves mountains and rivers!"

  A brilliant sword light flashed, a terrifying sword aura fiercely slashed down towards the Soul Sect's Sect Master.

  "Boom!"

  A deafening explosion shook the sky, and after everything disappeared, a sword pit with a diameter of hundreds of feet appeared. The high tower and the master of the Soul Sect all vanished into thin air. Looking at the scene in front of them, the Yang brothers' faces all showed expressions of relief. That terrifying aura just now was too shocking for them, if they let this guy break through, they would be in danger.

  "Is it going to end like this, big brother?"

  "Uh-huh, I guess so?"

  "What just happened?"

  "I think it should be Brother Mu who destroyed the grand array, and the sacrifice was forcibly interrupted, causing the Soul Sect Master's breakthrough to fail."

  As soon as the words fell, a golden crown burst out of the sword pit and flew towards the distant horizon. The two brothers chased after it without saying a word, and in an instant, the crown rushed out of the Soul Valley and into the Great Shen Territory, disappearing quickly into a gorge shrouded in demonic energy.

  The two brothers stopped at the entrance of the valley and looked at the dark and terrifying canyon in front of them. Yang Ba Tian said unwillingly, "Big brother, are we just going to let him get away?"

  Yang Jing Tian shook his head in dismay and sighed, "This should be the legendary forbidden land. According to ancient records, as long as we pass through here, we can enter the battlefield of the ancient era, where countless strong warriors' souls are buried."

  Yang Ba Tian furrowed his brow and said: "Big brother, are we going to chase after them or not?"

  Yang Jing Tian said in a bad tone: "Still want to chase? This place is a one-way trip, think about it, back then many strong warriors from the war clan entered, but so far not a single person has come out. You should know that any one of them can knock us down, we're just going in there to seek death."

  Yang Ba Tian asked inexplicably: "Why can Soul Sect people come and go as they please?"

  "If I'm not mistaken, all of this should be due to the crown just now. It must be a treasure that allows them to move freely among them."

  Looking at the valley in front of them with demonic energy surging into the sky, the two brothers sighed helplessly and had to turn around and leave.
