4575 Bottomless Pit
Everyone in the Mystic Crystal Sect was shocked and frightened. Even the stronger disciples were not spared from these feelings of despair. It was as though they could smell the scent of death from the terrifying attack in the sky.
Boom!
A thunderous commotion rang in the air as the giant palm seal fell on the Mystic Crystal Sect’s Guarding Formation, which was quickly triggered by the attack. The semi-translucent barrier shone brightly, looking seemingly indestructible.
Members of the Mystic Crystal Sect sighed in relief when they saw the Guarding Formation successfully block the attack.
“I heard that in the past, our Sect Guarding Formation managed to block the attacks of a demi Saint for half a day. I finally managed to witness its strength. I have to say it lives up to its reputation!”
Many core disciples of the Mystic Crystal were in awe. At the same time, they felt proud of their sect’s Guarding Formation.
At this time, someone speculated out loud, “What a terrifying energy! The culprit is most likely a demi Saint!”
Many members were relieved when they heard the speculation. After all, the Mystic Crystal Sect only had one demi Saint and one quasi Saint. They were unrivaled among those below the realm of Saints.
Alas, the smiles born from the relief of surviving a disaster did not last long on their faces. The Guarding Formation barely withstood the attack for two breaths before cracks began to appear on it. The cracks spread quickly in all directions before the barrier shattered.
Boom!
The terrifying attack destroyed the Guarding Formation with a loud explosion that shook the world. Terrifying shockwaves rippled out immediately in all directions, wreaking havoc in the surroundings. Following that, a powerful and oppressive energy shrouded the main peak of the Mystic Crystal Sect.
At this time, a loud voice rang from the depths of the main peak.
“Sir, may I know who you are? Why are you attacking the Mystic Crystal Sect?”
Following that, streaks of light shot out in all directions, protecting a group of people who were fleeing the main peak.
It did not take long before a few more figures joined in and protected the fleeing people as well.
Cries of anguish and despair rang in the air.
In the end, over 100 people managed to escape from the main peak.
The dust stirred up by the repeated attacks finally settled, revealing the peak that had been leveled. Not only was it leveled, but there was now a huge and seemingly bottomless pit where it used to stand.
Upon seeing this, the survivors gasped. Their faces were ashen. It finally dawned on them how powerful the other party was.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Suddenly, two figures appeared above the huge pit. They were none other than Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er.
Duan Ling Tian turned to look at one woman standing among the group of survivors with an indifferent gaze. Huan’er had pointed the woman out to him earlier.
The woman’s face was pale, and her eyes could not hide her fear at all as she lowered her head and stared at the huge pit on the ground. She was unaware that Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er were looking at her at this moment.
At this moment, a tall and aloof middle-aged man dressed in a long light green robe flew up into the sky. He looked at Duan Ling Tian fearfully as he asked, “Sir, I’m Liu Feng Huo, the Sect Leader of the Mystic Crystal Sect. Although you’re a Saint, the Mystic Crystal Sect is governed by the Flower Moon Divine Sect. Is the Flower Moon Divine Sect aware of your actions?”
Liu Feng Huo deliberately mentioned the Flower Moon Divine Sect to intimidate Duan Ling Tian. He did not know Duan Ling Tian, but he was certain that Duan Ling Tian was a Saint. As the Sect Leader of the Mystic Crystal Sect, he was aware of the strength of the Guarding Formation. Only a Saint was capable of destroying the Guarding Formation and the main peak so easily. He, a demi Saint, was helpless against a Saint. With his strength, he could only save some elders and disciples who were of significance and ordered the stronger supreme powerhouses in the sect to help save the others in the main peak. Alas, a few of the supreme powerhouses perished along with the main peak.
If Duan Ling Tian had used his Sword Dao to attack earlier, no one would have survived the attack. He had held back not because he was compassionate; he did not want the person who attacked Huan’er to die a quick death.
For this reason, Liu Feng Huo assumed Duan Ling Tian was just a Saint.
Coincidentally, at this moment, dark clouds began to gather and lightning flashed. Following that, blood rained down on the Mystic Crystal Sect and the area around it. This was the phenomenon that appeared after the deaths of supreme powerhouses.
In the Outer Boundary, there were different phenomena. Apart from the phenomenon that announced the deaths of supreme powerhouses, there was also the phenomenon of the law. Someone who comprehended the law of the perfect form would be able to manifest a phenomenon that shone for 100,000 miles while those who comprehended the law to the paramount stage could manifest a phenomenon that shone for 1,000,000 miles. When one’s law reached the paramount stage, the law would also return to its most fundamental and real state. For this reason, they could choose to hide the phenomenon of the law.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian ignored Liu Feng Huo and asked, “Was it you who nearly killed my woman?”
Before Duan Ling Tian spoke, Guo Yao Le had already returned to her senses. The old woman standing behind her had seen Huan’er and immediately sent a message to alert her. She frowned when she looked at Huan’er, but when she met Duan Ling Tian’s furious gaze, her expression changed drastically. Her heart sank immediately when she realized that Huan’er was in a relationship with a Saint.
At the same time, Liu Feng Huo and the other survivors followed the line of Duan Ling Tian’s sight and looked at Guo Yao Le as well.
