116 A Thousand Years of Waiting
When the skeletal throne completely disappeared from the huge white array in the sky, Zhou Yun’s aura completely disappeared from the Avici Hell.
The 10,000-meter-tall mountain of bones and the wails of the thousands of dead souls in the sky had all disappeared. The entire Avici Hell was empty.
What Zhou Yun did not know was that on the other side of the Avici Hell, the sect leaders of the five sects were nervously defending against the attacks of the spiritual corpses with their backs to each other.
They were gasping for breath, the spiritual energy in their bodies was almost exhausted. They could only barely form a five-person array to support it. Other than the five sect leaders, there were no other cultivators left alive!
More than half of the five sects’ trump card, their three hundred golden core cultivators had already been completely annihilated in this crusade!
“Sect Leader Ling Qingyun! The price for this crusade is huge! We must eliminate Meng Yuxin, the biggest heretic cultivator remnant, here! Otherwise, the upright sects will sink into oblivion once more, and the hell of the Heretic Sect a thousand years ago will reappear!” The sect leader of the Autumn Path School roared. His voice was hoarse, and even half of his arm had been severed, causing blood to flow out!
“Sect Leader Ling Qingyun, this is my last bit of spiritual energy!” The Heavenly Star Institute’s sect leader shouted at Ling Qingyun. His entire body had become even thinner and weaker, as if he had been squeezed dry!
“You think you can kill me, Meng Yuxin? The detestable five sects actually destroyed my heretic cultivation foundation of a thousand years and five hundred golden core spiritual corpses! You actually dare to ruin my heretic cultivation plan! I’m going to kill all of you and turn you into spiritual corpses!”
A five-meter-tall giant spiritual corpse roared at the sky. Countless broken swords were stuck in its body, and it was even biting a broken arm. It was the arm of the sect leader of the Autumn Path School!
The sect leaders of the five sects didn’t notice that as Meng Yuxin roared in exasperation, a hint of contempt flashed across her eyes.
“Swish!” All of a sudden, a sword light flashed past. Before anyone could react, Ling Qingyun’s figure appeared behind Meng Yuxin. She held the spiritual sword in her hand and her face was cold.
“Plop!” Meng Yuxin’s huge head slowly fell to the ground. At the same time, Ling Qingyun, who was inside the group of sect leaders, slowly disappeared. the Ling Qingyun in there was only a clone!
By the time Ling Qingyun finished swinging her sword, she had no more strength left in her body. She sat on the ground, paralyzed and unable to move!
Fortunately, after Meng Yuxin was killed, the remaining hundred or so golden core spiritual corpses seemed to have lost control and remained motionless on the spot. The sect leaders of the other four sects quickly waved their swords and destroyed all the spiritual corpses!
“Sect Leader Ling Qingyun! As expected of you, you’ve killed the five sects’ true main force, the current generation’s Saintess Meng Yuxin, the remnants of the five sects that couldn’t be destroyed a thousand years ago!” The sect leader of the Autumn Path School said as he lay on the ground after killing all the spiritual corpses.
“That’s right. The heretic cultivators are like headless flies without their Saintess. The rest of them are just small fries that the disciples of the five sects can kill as they please!” The Heavenly Star Institute’s sect leader’s face regained some color as he spoke slowly.
As Ling Qingyun listened to all of this, the frost on her face finally soothed. However, Ling Qingyun’s expression suddenly froze. She saw the corpses of the five sects’ disciples on the ground, as well as Jian Xin, Su Lingyun, Zhou Yun, Qiao’er, and the other heaven’s favorites.
Just for the sake of exterminating the Heretic Sect’s remnants, their five sects had actually paid such a huge price!
“Today is the memorial day of the five sects. All the disciples of the five sects will remember the disciples who died in this battle, as well as the geniuses who passed away, Jian Xin, Su Lingyun, Zhou Yun…” said Ling Qingyun as she stood up with her spiritual sword in hand. She felt extremely sorrowful.
“Don’t worry, Sect Leader Ling Qingyun. When we get back, we’ll set up the worship hall and set up spiritual monuments to commemorate these deceased disciples.” The Heavenly Star Institute’s sect leader said.
“Boom!” The entire Avici Hell started to shake. It was as if it had completed its final mission after Meng Yuxin had been successfully killed by the five sects, and was beginning to collapse inch by inch!
“Everyone, leave the Avici Hell! This small world has already collapsed. Even if there are still spiritual corpses hiding inside, they will only be destroyed along with the small world.” Ling Qingyun saw the earth shaking and quickly led the other four sect leaders to escape.
What Zhou Yun didn’t know was that after he was taken away, a spiritual monument had been set up in the Spirit Valley. If he knew, he would definitely be depressed.
The intersection of the five sects was in the middle of the five sects’ territory. A thousand years ago, when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had started to thin out, this place had changed from the location of the Five Sects’ Conference to a completely spiritual energy-free area that no cultivator wanted to approach!
Other than a few mortal cities and rural villages, the cultivators they had were only a few golden core cultivators from the five sects who had come to guard the old homeland of the Heretic Sect.
The spiritually deprived ground was the destination of Zhou Yun’s trip.
“Boom!” In the sky above a huge mountain, lightning suddenly flashed and thunder rumbled. In a dark cloud full of lightning, the lightning suddenly became dense, and countless thunderbolts appeared in every square inch!
“Swish!” suddenly, the lightning seemed to be drawn by something, and all the lightning was drawn to a point and condensed into a lightning ball!
“Boom!” The ball of lightning exploded, and a huge hole suddenly appeared in the empty sky. A throne made of bones and body parts squeezed together slowly emerged from the hole.
“Boom!” The lightning suddenly exploded, and the countless lightning bolts in the dark sky seemed to have found a target to pour out all their energy on. The ten thousand lightning bolts suddenly bombarded the skeletal throne!
Zhou Yun’s eyes lit up. He had just been teleported from the Avici Hell, where night and souls coexisted, and was now standing next to the skeletal throne. In the next moment, his eyes were filled with endless lightning and his ears were filled with the sound of explosions!
He looked around and estimated that he had appeared in midair. However, he did not know why this skeletal throne was being attacked by countless thunderbolts. the terrifying power of the lightning body on it made Zhou Yun’s scalp tingle!
Fortunately, when all the lightning was about to hit the skeletal throne, the spiritual corpse stretched out its hand, and the rest of the spiritual corpses opened their mouths at the same time. A noisy voice that seemed to make the soul feel irritated came from the skeletal throne, and it actually blocked the lightning outside the throne!
“What kind of power is this?” Zhou Yun frowned as he covered his ears. This was not the first time he felt the throbbing of his soul. He had already sensed this attack when Meng Yuxin had been watching him.
He couldn’t understand why Meng Yuxin’s attack method was different from any of the manuals he had seen in Spirit Valley! This was the first time he had seen an attack that could cause damage to the soul!
‘I wonder if I can learn this attack if I use the Enlightenment system.’ Zhou Yun thought to himself. He did not expect to be able to obtain the means of attack directly, but he at least wanted to have a way of defense!
“Oh? I was wondering who it was, but it turns out to be the Heretic Saintess. I’m the left protector, and I respectfully welcome the arrival of the Heretic Saintess. Hehehe!” Just as Zhou Yun was deep in thought, a sound even louder than the thunderbolts came from the heavens and the earth rang!
