Chapter 5692
Their eyes gleamed with an eerie light, guarding the tower like living beings, their oppressive aura causing the surrounding space to distort slightly.
“They’ve appeared again!” Kai’s gaze sharpened like an eagle’s, his golden dragon bloodline subtly boiling, resonating strongly with the dragon crystal. He could sense that Cen Biqing and Lao Hei were inside the tower; their auras, transmitted through the dragon crystal, conveyed anxiety and anticipation.
This time, Kai didn’t rush forward. He concealed his aura, observing from afar.
Ripples appeared constantly in the void around the Demon-Suppressing Tower, seemingly interwoven with countless spatial rifts, even more dangerous and unpredictable than before.
The appearance of the Demon-Suppressing Tower was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake; its ancient and powerful spatial fluctuations quickly attracted the attention of various forces in the Nine Heavens.
In just half a day, hundreds of cultivators had gathered around the once desolate and lifeless “Void Rift Valley.”
These people wore different clothes, possessed varying auras, and belonged to different sects and families, ranging from Human Immortals to Celestial Immortals.
They surrounded the Demon-Suppressing Tower, their eyes burning with desire as they stared at the majestic ancient tower and the faint, shimmering light emanating from it. Whispers rippled through the crowd, their hearts pounding with anticipation.
“No mistake! This is the Demon-Suppressing Tower recorded in ancient texts! It contains endless space, hiding the treasures and legacies of ancient demons!”
“I’ve heard this tower traverses countless realms, its whereabouts unpredictable. I never expected it to appear in the Ninth Heaven! What an incredible opportunity!”
“Look at those four stone lions at the tower’s base! They’re the core of the protective formation. Without breaking this formation, you can forget about entering the tower!”
Soon, some couldn’t contain themselves and attempted to force their way in.
A rogue cultivator at the early stage of the Celestial Immortal Realm, confident in his cultivation, transformed into a streak of light and shot straight towards the tower’s entrance.
“Buzz—!”
Just as he approached within a hundred feet of the tower, the eyes of the four stone lions suddenly gleamed with a ghostly light, and an invisible spatial barrier instantly appeared.
The rogue cultivator was sent flying backward as if he had crashed into an incredibly solid wall, coughing up blood. Countless bones were broken, and he landed barely alive.
This scene immediately calmed many of the impulsive individuals.
“Such a powerful protective formation! It seems brute force won’t work.”
“This formation contains spatial laws, incredibly profound; we must work together to break it!”
An elder from the “Blazing Sun Sect” loudly proposed, “Everyone! Such an opportunity is for everyone! Why don’t we join forces to break this protective formation first? As for the treasures inside the tower, we’ll each rely on our own abilities, shall we?”
His suggestion received considerable support. However, the seemingly agreed-upon alliance was incredibly fragile.
In attempting to attack the formation and find its weak points, disagreements inevitably arose regarding positioning, the amount of effort contributed, and some old grudges.
“You scum from Blackwater Cave, that gust of yin wind you just unleashed was aimed at me, wasn’t it?”
a burly man with a thick beard roared at a group of people shrouded in black mist not far away.
“Hmph, breaking the formation inevitably involves some damage. If you’re not skilled enough, who can you blame but yourself for not being able to dodge?”
the leader of Blackwater Cave replied sinisterly.
“Bullshit! I think you all did it on purpose! New and old grudges, let’s settle them all today!”
Before the words were finished, the burly man had already swung his giant axe.
This was like igniting a powder keg.
The various forces, already wary of each other and with many disagreements, instantly found an excuse to vent their anger.
“You bastards from the Blazing Sun Sect! You stole our disciples’ treasures in the secret realm last time! You’d better die!”
“You old scoundrel from the Profound Gold Sect, prepare to die!”
“Kill! Clear the area first, then break the formation!”
Chaos spread like a plague.
The light of spells, the clanging of magical artifacts, roars, and screams instantly filled the entire rift valley.
Most of the attacks originally aimed at the Demon Suppression Tower ended up hitting “our own people.”
Blood stained the ground, and severed limbs flew everywhere, creating a scene of extreme carnage.
At this moment, Kai silently crept to the shadow of a relatively secluded boulder, coldly observing the chaotic battle.
