Chapter 407: Chapter 376: Broken Region_1
“Enough talk, let’s hurry over! If we’re late, we might get punished again!”
Feng Que warned, quickly turning into Escape Light and flying away. The other two followed quickly behind.
The trio carefully avoided the symbols in the sky, and were swiftly at their destination.
At this point, a large number of fodder cultivators just like them had already assembled. The leader was still the shining young man.
In front of the crowd was a somewhat distorted space, as if made of countless shattered giant mirrors, merged together in a three-dimensional manner.
In this broken space, a tiny golden sapling emitting a soft glow was quietly growing.
“Sister Feng Qu, do you know what that tree is?” Mu Wu asked via a transmission spell.
Feng Que shook her head. Su Tao on the other hand, had heard the tree’s identity from others.
“It’s a Taihao Divine Wood! It’s top-grade material for refining fire skill artifacts. If nurtured properly, it is said to possibly reach the stage of tier twelve. Its value is comparable to a large Spirit Stone mine!”
Su Tao looked slightly cold.
The value of the Taihao Divine Wood was enormous, and the sect would not easily give it up. But traversing through the shards of space was extremely dangerous. The Nascent Souls wouldn’t risk it. The core disciples were here for experience, they wouldn’t throw their lives away, so it had to be them, the fodder, on the front line.
Seeing this, Feng Que and Mu Wu’s faces darkened. The other fodder cultivators also didn’t look good, but they had no power to change this situation.
The young man said something to his subordinates, and the group was quickly divided. Five people were grouped into a small team, preparing for them to explore in turns.
Feng Que and company, whether by good or bad luck, were assigned to the third team.
The first team of five looked tense. They pulled out all stops, inching carefully into the space.
This broken area, distorted by spatial force, was the most dangerous place in the secret realm. Even for Nascent Souls, it would be a case of risking death.
However, it was precisely because of the protection of spatial forces that such a place could harbor heavenly treasure. Otherwise, it would have been eaten by monster beasts in the secret realm long ago.
For the team of five, some people used low-level spells to control spirit manipulatives to touch the edge of the space, and others used some low-level small puppets, using puppet control to find the entrance.
Moving forward bit by bit, they passed through several space fragments, and the Divine Sun Wood was getting closer and closer. But at this moment, a slight distortion occurred in the area where three of them were. The three shook violently, blood flowing from seven openings, falling down as limp as noodles.
“There’s a spatial fluctuation, you guys hurry up!”
The young man reminded the remaining two. As for the three who had died, he didn’t even care. In his eyes, these people were just fodder, if they died, they just died.
The remaining two gritted their teeth and could only turn their heads and continue to advance to the position of the Divine Sun Wood with fear.
“It seems that they didn’t even escape their souls, what’s going on?” Mu Wu passed a message to the other two in surprise.
“What else could it be! Their spirits have been shattered!” Su Tao said with a flicker in her eyes.
Feng Que didn’t say a word, she just quietly took out the ordinary peace charm her sister had given her, and her heart was inexplicably calmer.
“Groan! Obliteration of body and spirit!! That’s too miserable! I hope it doesn’t happen to us!”
Mu Wu kept praying.
But his prayer didn’t seem to work. The remaining two only moved a short distance before they encountered another bizarre spatial fluctuation. On the spot, they turned into a pile of broken flesh, far worse than the previous three.
Compared to spatial cracks, silent spatial fluctuations were even more difficult to guard against. Even if you could detect it, it would be too late to avoid.
This is why Nascent Soul cultivators prefer to stay in the back.
After the first team was wiped out, the young man didn’t stop. His gaze fell on the second team of five.
At this point, the five from the second team were visibly pale, obviously frightened. But they had no room to resist. Putting aside that their families were under the sect’s surveillance, the multiple restrictions imposed on them by the sect didn’t allow for any resistance. Not to mention that the young man in front of them was a Nascent Soul elder, even if everyone joined together to resist, they wouldn’t be his match.
The five people could only bring out what they had prepared and venture into the broken space with a hardened heart.
“Don’t casually use spells to probe, it can easily trigger fluctuations!”
Before the five went in, the young man warned.
But it was precisely because of his comment that the second round of five people had it even worse. Due to not casting spells to probe, they missed quite a few microscopic spatial rifts, so much so that before they got halfway, four were seriously injured and had to pull out.
It was soon to be the turn of Feng Que’s trio, whose faces were naturally no better.
“Why don’t we intentionally collide with a space rift when it’s our turn? At least we’ll have a chance for reincarnation!” Mu Wu passed a message to the two.
Both of them hesitated, considering whether to agree when they saw the young man squeeze a spell, and a Sword Qi flew out from his sleeve. Immediately, it annihilated the four people who had withdrawn, not sparing their spirits.
“I allowed you not to use spells, but I didn’t allow you not to employ other means. Don’t think I’m unaware of your little schemes! Killing a few of you this time is just a warning. If anyone dares to repeat it, I will exterminate their entire family after we leave the secret realm!”
Although the young man’s voice was calm, it sent chills to everyone’s hearts.
It was clear; intentionally getting injured was not going to work.
Just as the trio was ready to face death, the young man suddenly snorted and shouted.
“Who’s hiding over there? Come out!”
With a squeeze of his hand, countless Sword Qi filled the sky, attacking a corner not far away.
At this moment, a voice rang out.
“Since friend doesn’t care about these people, why not send them to me!”
A figure in a silver robe with a purple mask on their face, far taller than a human, appeared out of thin air. He squeezed out a spell, formed countless silver lightings, and blocked the Sword Qi.
“Where did this wild cultivator come from, daring to speak such big words in front of Cluster Stars Sect!”
The young man’s face was filled with disdain. He released his lifebound treasure and prepared to launch another attack.
Just when an earthquake suddenly occurred, around the Cluster Stars Sect’s team, several gigantic trees uprooted. In an instant, they transformed into scary tree people, rushing at the team from all directions.
Splash! Splash!
Even before the tree people got close, the ground in a hundred-mile radius had already grown many vines, launching a surprise attack on the Cluster Stars Sect’s team, catching them off guard.
“An ambush? Seeking death!”
Surprised, the young man was also furious.
They, Cluster Stars Sect, had been dominating the Cang Ming Ocean Territory for so many years. Yet this was the first time someone had the courage to lay an ambush and attack them. This was an utter disgrace.
The sword treasure in his hand released a dazzling light, instantly eradicating the vines around him. He then shot directly at that figure.
At the same time, two even stronger auras rose from the cruise ship behind him.
“They actually sent two Nascent Soul mid-stage, worthy of the Cluster Stars Sect. They really are ostentatiously rich!”
The figure murmured, tangled with the young man for a few breaths, took a few Cluster Stars Sect pseudo-Dan cultivators entangled by the vines, and fled towards the distance.
