Behind them, were a ground of broken bones. This was blocked by the bone beasts in the secret realm, but with Hong Ling and the others working together, who could possibly threaten them?

Beside Hong Ling, the Sorrow Spirit was floating around happily. Streams of sharp sword beams that contained sword intent had shattered the bone beasts obstructing their way. The inner cores of those bone beasts were captured by his consciousness and stored in his spatial ring.

It had to be said that even if the Sorrow Spirit was only a Profound Ranked Spirit Tool, its power was not something an ordinary Spirit Tool could compare to. Because it was made from Kun Steel, even the legendary Holy Equipment would find it difficult to destroy it.

Kun Steel s were rarely seen divine metals in the world, so they could be big or small, and if they were big or big or big, they could easily be turned into tens of thousands, and they could be separated from each other. Hong Ling's strength was currently limited, and controlling the Sorrow Spirit to turn into nine was already the limit of what he could do.

However, even if it was merely nine longswords, the power of the sword formation formed by the Sorrow Spirit was already far surpassing the sword formation that Hong Ling had formed with the twelve hundred refined steel swords back then.

No bone beast could resist the power of the Sorrow Spirit's sword formation and they all turned into bone fragments. Although Lian Chengyue was in a daze, she did not know how to use the Imperial Sword Technique, so she could only look at Hong Ling with envy.

The closer they got, the more bone beasts they found blocking their way. Hong Ling could even feel a faintly discernable ghastly aura in the air, which indicated that they were secretly spying on their Nascent Soul.

However, as if they were afraid of the powerful strength of the two, the dormant ghosts didn't make a move.

When Hong Ling and his group arrived at the exit of the secret realm, it just so happened that the Four Major Sects were rushing over one after another. Compared to the group of nearly a hundred people back then, the Four Major Sects had suffered heavy losses this time around.

There were less than twenty of them remaining, only eighteen. Amongst the cultivators of the Qi Refinement into Spirit, only Shangguan Qinghong and Nangong Qi Ye remained. Feng Qiyue, Yan You and the other two were only at the peak of the Essence Refinement into Qi.

Amongst the rogue cultivators, only Hong Ling and Lian Chengyue were left. There was no one else, and even Lu You, who was saved by Hong Ling and a while ago, did not appear.

No one moved, not even Shangguan Qinghong and the rest. Hong Ling's and Lian Chengyue's might caused the Four Major Sects' cultivators who were leading them to feel fear.

In fact, a majority of the cultivators in the Four Major Sects had died in the hands of Hong Ling and Lian Chengyue.

This meant that they basically had no possibility of killing the cultivators of the Four Major Sects. However, how could Shangguan Qinghong and the others have ever thought that the two of them would have long since incinerated the Death Mark, and not be able to see it?

In the eyes of the lead cultivators of the Four Major Sects, with the phoenix bloodline fused into Lian Chengyue, there was an extremely high possibility that his talent would be able to break through the eighth stage of the World Barrier.

Furthermore, she also had Hong Ling, who possessed a similarly powerful bloodline, by her side.

Looking at the people present, Hong Ling was deeply moved. When the Heavenly Desolate Mystic Realm opened, the number of people that came in was only from the Four Major Sects, but there were already more than a hundred. Adding the other rogue cultivators, there were already more than 300 people present.

However, the number of people who survived was only twenty. This was an extremely shocking death rate, and even if the number of people Hong Ling and Lian Chengyue had killed was not enough to shock the world.

This was only the Rage King's tomb, if it was the real Rage King's tomb, Hong Ling dared not imagine how dangerous it would be.

"I didn't expect the two of you to still be alive. What a surprise!" Shangguan Qinghong looked at Hong Ling and Hong Ling, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Hong Ling and Lian Chengyue did not care about them. To the two of them, such a defeated opponent was worth nothing.

"What, you two know that we're about to leave the secret realm and want to meet the elders of the four great sects, so you don't dare to speak to us?" Shangguan Qinghong sneered. He was still brooding over his defeat at Lian Chengyue's hands.

Hong Ling raised his eyebrows, and looked at him seriously. His eyes flashed with a trace of killing intent, he hated people like Shangguan Qinghong for nothing, and always felt a sense of superiority.

"He's merely a defeated opponent. How dare he act so arrogantly when he's nothing more than an ant?" His pupils constricted, and a powerful stream of divine sense shot out, piercing into Shangguan Qinghong's mind.

In less than a month of time, this young man's strength had grown to the point where he could use his spiritual sense to injure Hong Ling. He endured the pain in his soul, staring at the white-robed cultivator fearfully.

"How dare you sneak attack me!" Next to her, Yan You Xu supported Shangguan Qinghong, his eyes filled with rage. Although their relationship was not particularly good, they were still allies.

Hong Ling casually attacked and injured Shangguan Qinghong. This caused them to be shocked and even more so infuriated; this brat simply did not place them in his eyes.

"What? You have an objection?" Hong Ling raised his brows, his tone ice-cold.

To be fair, he had experienced this youth's might. When Hong Ling was still at the great perfection of Essence Refinement into Qi, even if the four of them joined forces, they still would not be able to break through this youth's seal.

Now that he had already been promoted to Qi Refinement into Spirit, even the four of them did not know how far his strength had grown. But without a doubt, Hong Ling's strength was definitely stronger than even the cultivators of the Four Great Qi Refinement into Spirit s.

Hmph, he coldly snorted and no longer spoke. Feng Qiyue and Nangong Qi Ye both chose to remain silent.

If it was any ordinary rogue cultivator who dared to speak to them like that, they would be dead, but, the situation was worse than them, Hong Ling and Lian Chengyue were existences that were even more terrifying than them, they could only swallow their anger.

They all knew that the reason why their own clan's senior brothers and sisters were able to bring their teams into the secret realm, was because their talent and strength were among the best in the sect.

However, these four geniuses actually chose to remain silent in front of these two rogue cultivators. Doesn't this mean that these four rogue cultivators felt that they were inferior to these two rogue cultivators?

Just what background did the two of them have to be able to cause the four chosen from the transcendent powers to feel such fear? The spectators were constantly guessing and speculating about their origins, yet they were still unable to come up with any clues.

In a short period of time, the exit of the secret realm became deathly silent. No one spoke anymore, and as the closing time neared, those Bone Beasts that seemed to have disappeared once again roared and quickly rushed toward the exit. Everyone was shocked as they looked at those Bone Beasts that were charging towards them, their eyes filled with fear.

In front of these bone beasts, five remaining ghost babies were roaring, driving them towards the exit.

Hong Ling's and Lian Chengyue's eyes congealed as they stared at the five giant ghost babies. Only they knew how precious these babies were, as the soul pearls were things that were even more precious than mystical crystals or secret silver.

The majority of them seemed to be Rank 1, while the minority were Rank 2. The five ghost souls, with their strength at the intermediate stage of Rank 2, were equivalent to a human cultivator at the intermediate stage of Qi Refinement into Spirit.

Shangguan Qinghong and the rest looked unsettled. There was still some time before the secret plane opened, but they were actually surrounded by the combined forces of the Bone Beast and the Ghost Infant. How could they not be annoyed?

Hong Ling did not say anything, he stepped forward a few steps, and with a thought, a burst of flowing light gathered in front of him, gradually congealing into a dark golden ancient sword, which was exactly the Sorrow Spirit.

"That's a magical equipment!" Feng Qiyue covered her mouth with a look of envy.

No doubt, as the heaven's pride level of the Four Major Sects, they knew what magic tools meant. Even the most outstanding disciples of the sects like them weren't enough to get bestowed magic tools by the sects. Then, as an itinerant cultivator, where exactly did he get his magic tools from?

Feng Qiyue was not the only one with such suspicions. All of the cultivators of the Four Major Sects present looked at Hong Ling with blazing eyes.

To the knowledge of these cultivators, without a few years of nurturing, it would be difficult for them to be like Hong Ling, who could control swords however he wished.

"Who the hell is he? He actually has such a powerful magical equipment. At the very least, from what I can sense, this magical equipment's rank is at least a Xuan grade!"

In their minds, only those heaven's pride level characters from large families or large sects had the qualifications to use magic tools. And, such a heaven's pride level character would not be inferior to even the core disciples of the four great sects.

At this point, he no longer dared to have any thoughts of fighting with Hong Ling anymore. If he could take out a magical equipment, then even compared to the Four Major Sects, he would definitely not be much worse off.

Besides, the sect would never make an enemy out of such power just because of the conflict between these disciples.

"Ah Yue, I will be in charge of dealing with the bone beasts. As for the five Ghost Infants, I will leave them to you!" Hong Ling turned and said to Lian Chengyue. His figure flashed, and casually grabbed one of the Sorrow Spirit s, with the remaining eight floating around him, he followed him and charged into the herd of Bone Beasts.

Lian Chengyue nodded his head, then summoned Luo Shen, the fiery red long sword appearing out of nowhere, suddenly releasing a wave of heat.

"Another lifeblood magic tool? Who exactly are those two?"

Other than shock, there was only powerlessness in his eyes. It was really laughable, they had actually thought of killing these two people back then, but now, they did not even have the slightest thought of becoming enemies with him.

Feng Qiyue laughed bitterly. In front of a proud daughter of heaven like Lian Chengyue, the beauty that she was so proud of, along with her own talent and strength, had become a laughingstock. She thought that as the leader of the Feng Hua Workshop Heaven's Pride Group, she was definitely someone who could look down upon all the people in the world.

Wherever he went, the bone beasts were minced into pieces like grass or mustard. He absorbed one pellet after another into his spatial ring, causing the people of the Four Major Sects to break out in a cold sweat.

Whether it was early First Order or mid-Second Order, none of those bone beasts were a match for the young man.

From Shangguan Qinghong and the other three's senses, Hong Ling's longsword was unceasingly releasing sword beams that were filled with sword intent. The sharpness of these sword beams was so great that even the mid-stage second stage bone beast's bones were unable to resist, and were directly minced to pieces. It was reduced to a pile of debris.

However, the shock that Hong Ling brought them had not receded, but Lian Chengyue's battle had made them feel extremely inferior once again. The young lady was alone against the five powerful Ghost Souls, and the flaming sword in her hands continued to burn, in a flash, a blazing sword rainbow flashed, and one of the Ghost Souls' four limbs had already been cut off.

Lian Chengyue's body did not decrease in size, he continued to float between the remaining four Phantom Souls. Wherever he went, the Phantom Souls' four limbs were all severed, and in less than ten breaths of time, the five Phantom Souls had been chopped into human sticks.

The young girl stood in the middle of the five infant ghosts, the blazing red Authentic Qi was churning about, she casually stabbed the sword in her hand into the ground fiercely, she leaned down and pressed a pure white palm on the ground, the Authentic Qi gurgled as it poured into the ground.

Weng, dazzling lines of fire began appearing on the ground. With her palm as the center, they continuously spread out. Bang, white-gold flames began to burn from the lines of fire, forming a blazing array of fire.

Ga ya, the ghosts and infants that were ignited by the flames cried out miserably. Their voices were incomparably mournful, as if they were wild beasts that were on the verge of death.

Lian Chengyue did not move, the Authentic Qi in her body continued to pour into the formation, completely burning and destroying the five ghost babies. With a casual wave of the girl's hand, five soul orbs broke out from the ground, which she held in her hand and placed in her spatial ring.

With a casual wave of her hand, the sunken Divine Sword emerged from the ground and was grasped in her hands. The girl's figure flashed and she stood shoulder to shoulder with Hong Ling, joining forces to strangle the remaining Bone Beasts.

The eyes of the cultivators from the Four Major Sects were currently on the verge of falling. They looked at Lian Chengyue and Hong Ling, who were constantly harvesting the bone beasts, and their eyes were filled with a pale helplessness.

"Who can tell me what kind of monsters those two are!?" A disciple of one of the four major sects dryly said with a wry smile.
