Chapter 1836 The Purple Light Curtain

Under the joint attack of four masters of the Heavenly Grotto Realm and the ultimate magical treasure, the Grand Killing Array didn't stand a chance. Moments later, it began disintegrating before their eyes.

They held their ground and continued to pummel it. Eventually, it exploded with a loud bang.

"It's gone. Make them go inside,"

one of the masters of the Heavenly Grotto Realm ordered, sneering at the prisoners.

A middle-aged man nodded and turned to face the prisoners. Then, the four cultivators of the Heavenly Grotto Realm floated back to the entrance of the valley and sat in mid-air.

"Okay; well done. The Grand Killing Array is gone.

Now that we are safe, let's continue to move forward,"

one of the middle-aged men shouted, pointing at the purple glow on the horizon.

The remaining cultivators glanced tiredly at the depths of the valley. All they wanted was to run back to their safe homes and sleep. The men looked menacingly at them and they turned around.

The men weren't the most threatening to them but the eight cultivators at the Heavenly Grotto Realm were watching them, so they had no chance to escape alive.

Sighing, they began marching towards the depths once again.

A moment later, all their eyes lifted to the sky.

Howl!

On top of a rock, an evil ape, covered in white hair, was crouched. It leaped and flew several thousand feet into the air. As it rose, it appeared smaller and smaller before it started to plummet upon them.

They cowered and some of them scattered as the ape landed on the ground. It chased after six of them, stomping on their heads and making them burst like watermelons.

Howl! Howl!

As the prisoners scattered, the ape ran after them and stretched out its millstone-sized palms. It gripped one prisoner at a time and smashed them into small pieces.

Surprisingly, the prisoners were dying without putting up a fight. A majority of the warriors that had been caught by the Crimson Palace were at the Minor-perfection Realm, and the rest were at the Major-perfection Realm. This ape was gigantic and fast but they shouldn't be acting like cowards.

After it had killed a few more prisoners, the mystery was answered: the ape was at the Heavenly Grotto Realm!

The warriors couldn't even put up a fight against the ape. It crushed them before they could resort to their vital energy.

"There is a beast at the Heavenly Grotto Realm!"

one of the men from the Crimson Palace shouted. He turned to ask help of the real masters at the exit of the valley. His counterpart was also pale with fright as he stood next to him.

Even though both men were at the premium stage of Major-perfection Realm, they weren't powerful enough to take on the ape.

Whoosh!

At the entrance to the valley, two of the strong cultivators of the Heavenly Grotto Realm instantly flew to the ape.

It turned to them and screamed viciously, pounding its chest. They didn't even flinch. One of them pulled out the black iron ruler and used it to attack the evil ape. The other stayed behind a few feet and used small amounts of vital energy to cover him.

After a few minutes, the ape fell heavily onto the ground, shaking it. The masters nodded and returned to their perch.

Exhausted and half-dead, the cultivators were pushed forward once again. The valley looked as large as

e smiled at his fellows and patted some of them on the back.

"Yes, if everything goes well from here, there should be a valuable elixir field in there."

The other seven cultivators of the Heavenly Grotto Realm also glowed with excitement.

In the Divine Continent, the semi-omnipotent herbs were very rare. It made sense that even the cultivators from the ancient, great sects would want it. They could complete many of their collections this way.

A few of them moved closer to the dome and sniffed the air. It seemed they could sense the fragrance of the semi-omnipotent herbs from the other side of the purple light curtain. Greedy smiles took over their faces.

"You guys, come over here!"

Before they could move, a cultivator at the Heavenly Grotto Realm rolled his sleeve and a dozen prisoners fell forward against their wills.

Bang!

Blazing runes instantly erupted from the ground and flew towards the prisoners.

Somehow, the cultivator had known there was another Grand Killing Array hidden in the short distance between them and the dome. Several warriors fell to their deaths.

"Take it down,"

The elder ordered, taking out the black iron ruler and swinging it at the Grand Killing Array.

Behind him, the other seven cultivators of the Heavenly Grotto Realm joined the fight.

This killing array was far stronger and more terrible than the previous ones. It took nearly two hours for the cultivators to destroy it.

At last, the last Grand Killing Array had exploded and the pieces from it scattered on the grass.

With no more killing arrays or beasts, the prisoners finally arrived at the purple light curtain.

"I've never seen anything like this. It can't be that simple to get past,"

the elder in the grey robe said, looking at the purple light curtain with a serious expression on his face. Instantly, he turned to the prisoners.

"You guys, run towards it!"

Without giving them a chance to agree or disagree, he rolled his sleeve up and sent a dozen prisoners into the air towards the purple light curtain.

Austin gasped as he was carried with them.

Unable to fight against the powers of the elder, Austin allowed himself to be carried towards the purple light curtain.
