Chapter 410: Chapter 408: Supreme Treasure? Or a Person?

People like Liushui Wuhen, who had reached over thirty meters in the Dragon Spirit Realm, had never appeared.

Even those pinnacle disciples, the strongest in the Dragon Pill Realm, only managed to reach a maximum height of twenty-three meters.

These disciples had either just joined the super sects or had just been promoted; they had always been nurtured by the sects but had never undergone trials.

As their stature rapidly increased, so did their aura, growing wildly intense. Those who had reached twenty-three meters at the Dragon Pill Realm Peak even broke through at that moment, reaching the Dragon God Realm Early Stage!

However, before the man could rejoice, and without him having the chance to launch any attack, the sword light had already brushed past him.

It did not strike directly, merely grazing by.

But it was this mere grazing that made the man’s body shake violently, as if countless sword lights were tearing through him from inside.

His massive twenty-three-meter-tall body swelled uncontrollably, with indescribable agony surging through him, causing him to scream in pain.

All that may sound like a long story, but it all happened in an instant.

The sword light swept by, and the man’s huge body exploded into a cloud of blood mist with a boom!

And he was just one of many.

The disciples on the Giant Island were still in the midst of their escape after transforming into their Giant Spirit Bodies.

Some managed to escape the range of the sword light, but others weren’t as lucky. With that single strike, at least five thousand disciples from Giant Island perished!

“Is this really an Artifact Spirit?!!” someone among the Giant Island disciples screamed, truly terrified to death.

They had never heard of an Artifact Spirit that could devour and kill like this.

Normally, a Supreme Treasure that had just come into being and was disturbed by so many people would be frightened and swiftly flee.

But now…

After two strikes, it had brutally killed over fifteen thousand of them!

In that instant, countless figures shot out from the entrance of Mountain of the Divine Medicine.

These figures, all pale-faced with deep fear in their eyes, rushed toward the depths of the Mountain of the Divine Medicine.

At that moment, they understood how correct Wen Ling from the Divine Transformation Pavilion’s decision was!

“Whoosh!”

Just as all the disciples emerged from the black mist, seeing the light of day and breathing a sigh of relief, the sword light pursued them once more.

However, these were members of super sects, each with their own means.

This strike only claimed around a thousand lives, a not as significant a toll as the previous two strikes.

…

Outside Mountain of the Divine Medicine, the leaders of the various sects saw their disciples, covered in blood and with faces of panic, and their own expressions changed.

“What happened?!” Duanmu Lin’s mouth twitched violently.

He saw the people from the Sword Immortal Tomb screaming as they rushed out, not even daring to look back, heading straight for the depths of Mountain of the Divine Medicine.

And after these people from the Sword Immortal Tomb emerged, a huge figure also followed, stepping out of the black mist.

This figure, formed entirely of longswords, dispersed the moment it left the mist, returning to the form of longswords that fell into the hands of the Sword Immortal Tomb disciples.

“Has the Sword Immortal descended?!”

Duanmu Lin’s mouth corners twitched fiercely, for he was well aware of the Dragon Technique of the Sword Immortal Tomb.

This descent of the Sword Immortal was one of the three major techniques bestowed upon the disciples by the Sword Immortal Tomb for this Sect competition.

He had not expected it to be used right at the entrance of the Mountain of the Divine Medicine!

Duanmu Lin didn’t consider the disciples of the Sword Immortal Tomb as incompetent, as he clearly saw that after the appearance of the Sword Immortal Phantom, one of its arms had been severed!

The body of the Sword Immortal Phantom was entirely constructed from longswords, and from the color of those swords, it was evident they were not of low quality.

Yet still, one arm was forcibly cleaved off, indicating just how powerful the opponent was!

It wasn’t just Duanmu Lin; the same was true for Giant Island.

Liushui Kuanghan had his eyes closed the entire time, but after hearing Duanmu Lin’s shocked words time and again, he finally couldn’t help but open them.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw countless disciples of Giant Island, transformed into Giant Spirit Bodies, fleeing in terror in all directions.

The direction they fled was completely scattered, clearly in extreme panic, disregarding the instructions they were previously given.

“What on earth has happened!” Liushui Kuanghan’s eyes twitched.

“Whoosh!”

As they spoke, the swirling black fog within the screen ultimately dissipated without a trace.

All the Sect disciples had fled, and the entrance to the Mountain of the Divine Medicine was peaceful, as if nothing ever happened.

However, the leaders of the Super Sects felt their hearts pounding uncontrollably long after the black fog had dissipated.

Even the Eastern Ancestor furrowed his brows, somewhat in disbelief.

On the ground at the entrance of the Mountain of the Divine Medicine, a vast crack had swept forth, and beside it lay nothing but fresh blood and tattered clothing.

Without a single intact body, those who had perished had all disintegrated into Blood Mist, spilling onto the ground, turning into fresh blood that flowed into the crack.

A sword light ten thousand meters long, a Blood River ten thousand meters long!

It was apparent to anyone that at least tens of thousands had perished to create such a river of blood.

“Hiss!!!”

Even the Loose Cultivators couldn’t help but inhale sharply upon seeing this scene.

They had initially thought that the Sect competition was merely a contest and struggle among the disciples of the Super Sects, but now they understood that the most dangerous threat was clearly not these disciples.

No matter how strong they were, they could not exceed the Dragon God Realm, but the dangers within the Mountain of the Divine Medicine were far too great.

“Eastern Ancestor, is that truly a Supreme Treasure?”

Jin Lan frowned deeply, looking at the Eastern Ancestor, “Why do I feel it’s not quite right? Even if it really is a weapon, I’ve never heard of a Supreme Treasure weapon that devours in such a manner.”

The Eastern Ancestor glanced at Jin Lan and said calmly, “Do you think that there might be someone inside the Mountain of the Divine Medicine?”

“Right,” Jin Lan nodded.

The Eastern Ancestor spoke, “After I sealed the entrance, it was certain that no one else entered. If there really is someone, they must have entered the Mountain of the Divine Medicine long ago and never came out. If it is true, once this person who kills so indiscriminately reveals themselves and I become aware, I will open the entrance to the Mountain of the Divine Medicine and personally slay them.”

“Then I thank you, Eastern Ancestor,” said Jin Lan.

“But until there is concrete evidence of this person, I will not open the entrance, as that would break the rules of the Sect competition. They came here for training; if you all save them now, can they always rely on you in the future?”

The Eastern Ancestor added, “Of course, if you all agree, I can open the entrance right now, but that would also signal the end of this Sect competition.”
