Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Young Master Yu was nearly sent flying by a slap, kneeling on the ground, not daring to utter a sound. The maids and pretty boys were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, trembling, not even daring to breathe.

“High Ancestor, please calm your anger! I don't know why High Ancestor would strike his great-grandson!”

Young Master Yu was apprehensive, but he was also very unconvinced, feeling wronged, having been beaten for no reason.

Could it be because of his lifestyle?

But within the Depraved Red Dust, the cultivation is that of the desire of depravity. Such a lifestyle is perfectly normal, a conventional way to enhance the desire of depravity.

“Why did I hit you?” His High Ancestor's aged and deep voice was filled with iciness. “Because of you, this scoundrel! All fifteen of this ancestor’s disciples in the Primordial Realm have perished on the Ancient Canglan Star!”

“Wh… … What?”

Young Master Yu's body jolted violently. He abruptly looked towards the depths of the continent, his face filled with shock and disbelief, shaking his head, saying, “No! Impossible, so many Primordial Saints, how could they not defeat Mu Ciyin and that low-realm Jun Wuxie? Even if they couldn't defeat them, they wouldn't all have perished…”

“Are you saying that this ancestor is lying to you?”

The voice grew even colder, scaring Young Master Yu into hastily shaking his head: “No, great-grandson wouldn't dare, please calm your anger, High Ancestor!”

Silence filled the depths of the continent.

But Young Master Yu could feel that the High Ancestor's pressure was still there, enveloping him, not dissipating. Clearly, the High Ancestor was still paying attention, still watching him.

So, he and those maids, dancers, and pretty boys all dared not make a sound.

This process lasted a long time, about half a day.

Finally, a voice came again from the depths of the continent.

“This ancestor has received a reply from your father. That Jun Wuxie possesses some defensive treasure, which Mu Ciyin activates, achieving an unbreakable defense. At the same time, he used a method of tribulation, attracting a terrifying humanoid heavenly tribulation, causing this ancestor's disciples to be buried beneath the might of the heavens!”

“That brat Jun is despicable and shameless, actually so cunning and insidious, using the heavenly tribulation to ambush our experts, truly hateful to the extreme!”

Young Master Yu gritted his teeth.

The voice from the depths of the continent said, “This outcome is all due to the heavenly tribulation. According to the information, the Heavenly Dao seems to intentionally favor Jun Wuxie, clearly helping him, not allowing this ancestor's disciples to escape, trapping them in a fixed area for the tribulation. Your father has already dispatched more experts to Canglan, waiting for Jun Wuxie to finish his tribulation before making their move.”

“Without the heavenly tribulation, I want to see what capital that brat has to resist. Relying only on Mu Ciyin, two fists can hardly stop four enemies! High Ancestor, this time our lineage has suffered heavy losses, can we take this opportunity to make a request to that existence? This result was caused by capturing Mu Ciyin. If we propose to use Mu Ciyin as compensation for our lineage, do you think it's possible?”

As the words fell, a water-like energy suddenly appeared above Young Master Yu, like a waterfall impacting downwards, instantly slamming Young Master Yu to the ground.

He used all his strength but could not withstand it. Cracks appeared all over his body, and a large amount of blood kept spurting out.

This scene terrified the pretty boys, dancers, and maids.

“High Ancestor, please calm your anger! High Ancestor, spare my life! Great-grandson knows his mistake! Do you really want to kill your great-grandson?”

Young Master Yu shouted loudly, his eyes overflowing with blood due to the enormous impact.

“You ignorant, reckless thing, the rebellious bone in your body is too hard! You actually dare to covet the goal of that existence! If you don't repent, even your father and this ancestor cannot save your life!”

“High Ancestor, please calm your anger! Great-grandson knows his mistake, and will never dare to do it again!”

Young Master Yu's face was covered in blood. Blood flowed from his eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears, making him look extremely terrifying.

“I hope you truly know your mistake, otherwise, no one can save your life!”

“Yes!”

Young Master Yu knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

The depths of the continent remained silent for a long time, and the pressure also dissipated.

Young Master Yu's nerves relaxed, and his whole body collapsed to the ground. The pretty boys, dancers, and maids beside him were also the same.

… …

Eastern Region of the Ancient Canglan Star, before the Ridge of Startling Souls.

Here, besides the flashing lightning, there was no other light.

Above the firmament, countless tribulation clouds, endless falling lightning bombarded downwards, like silver ropes connecting the sky and the earth.

Jun Wuxie comfortably sat cross-legged in the center of the sea of lightning, the chaotic golden blood energy supported him, letting the tribulation lightning bombard him, letting the humanoid tribulation lightning attack.

Even with so much tribulation lightning simultaneously bombarding his body, it only caused the blood energy circle to vibrate, making it difficult to break through his defense.

His lightning resistance was too strong. Most of these attacks were absorbed and annihilated when they landed on him.

“Wuxie, I'm ready.” Mu Ciyin's voice came from inside the Trial Tower, “Next, don't complete the tribulation yet. It's best to enter the Ridge of Startling Souls first.”

Jun Wuxie had mentioned the plan before, and she had heard him say that he was fearless of the dark curse matter to a certain extent.

The Ridge of Startling Souls buried too many strong individuals who had resisted dark creatures in the apocalyptic torrent, and it was even possible that dark creatures were buried inside, so it was highly probable that dark curses were lurking.

Although such an environment was very dangerous, relatively speaking, in the current situation, it might also have a favorable side for them.

Besides, they were going to enter the Ridge of Startling Souls anyway. Wuxie was going inside to find someone.

“The aura inside the Ridge of Startling Souls is special, with mysterious forces of order. Once entered, the cultivator's abilities will be greatly compressed and restricted, which is beneficial for us to deal with those people…”

Mu Ciyin said that outside, the attack range of experts in the Primordial Saint Realm was too terrifying, making it difficult to dodge.

The Ridge of Startling Souls was different. The aftermath could not spread too far. The deeper one went, the more this was the case.

Moreover, in the Ridge of Startling Souls, even experts in the Primordial Saint Realm did not dare to wantonly launch indiscriminate attacks, as it might cause serious consequences. Therefore, inside, the Primordial experts of the Depraved Red Dust were equivalent to being tied up.

“This disciple also has this intention!”

Jun Wuxie originally wanted to discuss this matter with Mu Ciyin, but he didn't expect her to think the same as him.

He no longer hesitated, directly braving the ninefold tribulation lightning and rushing towards the Ridge of Startling Souls.

The Ridge of Startling Souls looked too oppressive. The pitch-black mountains stretched endlessly, seemingly a mysterious world existing in another space-time.

“Damn it, that brat actually brought the heavenly tribulation into the Ridge of Startling Souls!”

The faces of those Primordial experts who were staring here turned ashen.

They had been waiting for a long time, just waiting for the heavenly tribulation to end, so that they could suppress Jun Wuxie and Mu Ciyin with thunderous force.

As a result, the heavenly tribulation had not ended, and Jun Wuxie suddenly moved, rushing towards the Ridge of Startling Souls.

In this situation, even if they wanted to stop him, they couldn't.

Because who dared to touch the tribulation lightning, otherwise, facing such a ninefold humanoid tribulation lightning, they would inevitably be destroyed in both body and spirit, unable to withstand the terrifying heavenly might, so they could only watch helplessly.

Once inside the Ridge of Startling Souls, things would not be as simple as they were outside.

That place was full of dangers, full of unknowns, and they had to be careful when making a move, otherwise, it might bring them huge trouble.

At this time, the experts sent by the Depraved Red Dust also arrived. More than a dozen figures landed in their area.

“That brat is too cunning, running into the Ridge of Startling Souls. Everyone should be careful when making a move. Even if they escape into the Ridge of Startling Souls, they will have no way to go to heaven or earth!”

“Let's go. He did this mostly because he guessed that there were strong individuals staring in the dark. This brat has extremely high intelligence, fortunately, his realm is still low.”

An expert said, his body turned into a ray of light, cutting through the pitch-black starry sky, rushing towards the Ridge of Startling Souls in Jing Prefecture, Canglan Star like a shooting star.

The remaining experts also followed, and for a time, more than twenty Primordial Saint Realm experts landed before the Ridge of Startling Souls.

These experts, plus the fifteen who died before, were already one-third of the Primordial numbers of Young Master Yu's lineage.

It could be said that they had almost used all the Primordial experts they could currently awaken.

“Jun Wuxie, Mu Ciyin, you cannot escape!”

Before the Ridge of Startling Souls, a Primordial Saint Realm expert stood in the air, looking coldly at the area covered by the lightning tribulation within the Ridge of Startling Souls.

This expert slowly raised his right hand, and a plump Buddha statue filled with evil desire appeared in his palm.

Seeing this, the other Primordial Saint Realm experts all showed surprise.

“This is a Quasi-Eternal Saint Artifact — the Depraved Joyful Buddha!”

With a weapon of this level, what suspense was there this time?

Even if Mu Ciyin and Jun Wuxie's trump cards were stronger, could they contend with a Quasi-Eternal Saint Artifact?

“Then you guys come in and try.”

Jun Wuxie heard the words outside, gave a response in the sea of lightning, but did not stop, continuing to go deeper.

Soon, the sea of lightning became more and more blurred and faint in the eyes of the Primordial Saint Realm of the Depraved Red Dust.

The area of the Ridge of Startling Souls was somewhat special, and the spatial rules seemed to be different, so once one went deeper, they could not see the situation inside from the outside.

“Hmph, to the ends of the earth, there is nowhere for you to hide!”

They followed into the Ridge of Startling Souls. The moment they entered this area, they only felt that the whole world suddenly became much darker.

Looking up, the sky above their heads seemed to be different from the sky just now.

Here, gray mist filled the air, smoke and clouds permeated, and a gloomy aura rushed towards them.

“Where are the people?”

After they chased in, they found that the target was gone.

Braving such a large-scale lightning tribulation, they actually disappeared from the sight of these Primordial Saints, and even their perception was very blurry. They could only sense that he seemed to be going deeper, but they could not lock on to his location.

“The influence of the environment inside this Ridge of Startling Souls on cultivators is greater than before.”

They knew it was because of the special area space of the Ridge of Startling Souls. They could not see anything a little further away.

It had always been like this. People from their side had explored this place before, countless ages ago, sending back some information, but ultimately disappearing within, never to return.

"This won't work. We need to split up, but for safety, we'll divide into seven groups of three. We'll maintain contact with each other, and if anyone discovers the target, they'll immediately notify the others."

They quickly reached an agreement and decided to split up. Otherwise, in a situation where they couldn't see or sense anything, it would be difficult to find their target. Searching separately would increase their chances many times over.
