Chapter 408: Chapter 406: Black Fog Obscures the Silver Screen!

“Divine Transformation Pavilion, they’re nothing but a bunch of rubbish!”

“A bunch of cowards afraid of death. If they lack the courage, why bother participating in our Sect Competition!”

“But this is also good. With Divine Transformation Pavilion gone, and One Slash Palace not showing up, only we remain here, reducing the number of competitors by two.”

Seeing the disciples of Divine Transformation Pavilion leave under Wen Ling’s pressing and lead, the people from the other eight sects scoffed with disdain evident on their faces.

Although they had witnessed the deaths of Wang Lie and the other seven, their greedy hearts for the Holy Spirit-Level items directly suppressed the previous fear.

Moreover, it’s not just them present but also the other seven sects, adding up to a total of two hundred and forty thousand people.

The pride of being disciples from a Super Sect made each of them feel that two hundred and forty thousand people were enough to subdue the Artifact Spirit!

Even if it wasn’t an Artifact Spirit but a person, the other party wouldn’t dare to kill all two hundred and forty thousand of them.

They raised their heads, looking at the ten-thousand-meter Sword Light that lay horizontally in the Void, appearing as if it had torn through the void itself. Although they felt some trepidation, pride swelled in their hearts at the same time, convinced that the opponent didn’t dare act because they knew who they were.

“Together, we’ll blast open this Thunder Curtain once again, and that Holy Spirit-Level item will surely be ours!”

“It’s an earth-shattering object, and moreover, it’s a weapon. It’s worth at least a billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones, or even more!”

“Missing such an opportunity would lead to a lifetime of regret!”

Many disciples spoke up excitedly, their eyes sparkling with fervor.

After their words, they indeed acted once more, wanting to blow the Thunder Curtain open again.

However, at that moment, the ten-thousand-meter Sword Light in the Void suddenly erupted with a surge of black mist.

This black mist spread throughout the sky, sweeping around like a massive storm!

…

As the black mist enshrouded the area, outside the Mountain of the Divine Medicine, the Eastern Ancestor along with the leaders of the various sects and the countless onlookers all narrowed their eyes in shock.

In the void before them, there was a huge silver Light Barrier, divided into no fewer than ten sections. Each section reflected the disciples of the sects within the Mountain of the Divine Medicine.

On one of the sections of the Light Barrier, the thirty thousand disciples of One Slash Palace were rapidly advancing towards the depths.

But at this moment, their pace also slowed down.

Surrounding them were countless Demon Beasts gathering, emanating a terrifyingly fierce aura, and that pressure, with most being Fourth Order Demonic Beasts, and a small number of Fifth Order Demonic Beasts!

Fifth Order Demonic Beasts equate to the Dragon God Realm!

The disciples of One Slash Palace, when faced with these Demon Beasts, kept their composure and huddled together in a circular formation.

They did not make a move.

And once they did, they would surely resolve these Demon Beasts in an instant!

In another of the sections was the advancing group of Divine Transformation Pavilion disciples.

With Wen Ling at the front, her complexion was still pale, as if the erased memory had become an eternal shadow in her heart, lingering and inescapable.

Behind her, the numerous Divine Transformation Pavilion disciples cast glances towards Wen Ling now and then, with some appearing calm but the majority showing evident dissatisfaction. It was clear they were extremely upset, feeling as if Wen Ling had forced them to leave, causing them to miss the opportunity to fight for the weapon that was at least Mid-Grade Holy Spirit-Level, and they were hard-pressed to hide their anger.

Each section of the Light Barrier mirrored a Sect.

The remaining eight sections were the disciples of the other eight Super Sects.

In those sections, the disciples of the eight Super Sects showed the same scene: all were gathered at the entrance of the Mountain of the Divine Medicine, their expressions filled with intense greed.

Above their heads hung a ten-thousand-meter Sword Light in the sky, seemingly ready to strike down at any moment, clearly visible to the Eastern Ancestor, the other leaders, and the myriad of onlookers.

Even through the silver screen, they could feel the staggering pressure emanating from the Sword Light.

“The disciples guessed correctly, that item is indeed at least of the Holy Spirit Level and also a Supreme Treasure. How did I not discover it before?”

The Eastern Ancestor spoke, and it wasn’t just his current Cultivation Base that compelled his admiration at the sight of such a treasure, even his true self would have marveled and envied.

However, at this moment, the Supreme Treasure was inside the Mountain of the Divine Medicine and had been witnessed by so many disciples who were now competing for it.

The Eastern Ancestor wouldn’t lower himself to compete with the younger generation for an item, even if it was of the Earth Nether Level, let alone a Holy Spirit Level.

Besides, if he really were to compete for it, wouldn’t he offend the Top Ten Super Sects?

Powerful as he was, the might of a single individual could never stand against a Sect.

“Whoosh!”

Just as the Eastern Ancestor was speaking, a black fog suddenly burst forth from the Sword Light.

This black fog spread across the heavens, sweeping in every direction, shrouding everything on the silver screen in an instant!

Those outside the Mountain of the Divine Medicine could only see black fog!

“Hmm?”

The Eastern Ancestor and the others frowned.

“What’s happening now?” Jin Lan asked.

“The item is spirited. I’m afraid it’s not just Mid-Grade Holy Spirit Level, but High-Grade,” the Eastern Ancestor indifferently replied, “If your Sects’ disciples continue to fight over it, I fear they will be out of luck.”

At these words, the representatives of the various Sects all frowned deeply.

During the Sect Competition, once the participants entered and the contest started, these representatives would not intervene, nor would they offer assistance.

Thousands of years ago, there was a Sect Competition where they encountered a Sixth Order Demon Beast, which was equivalent to the Dragon Emperor Realm for humans!

That Sixth Order Demon Beast swept through the Sword Immortal Tomb, obliterating all thirty thousand disciples; numerous deaths were suffered by other Sects as well.

The representatives of the major Sects were just watching the screen from the outside at the time.

They watched as their Sect disciples were slaughtered, but couldn’t take any action, for such were the rules!

The Sect Competition, for these disciples, was a trial in itself.

Seeing a Supreme Treasure now, each would have their way of handling it.

While Wen Ling had led her people to a distance, the disciples of the One Slash Palace had never appeared, yet the disciples of the other eight Sects were all gathered around.

Perhaps after experiencing such an event and such a crisis, when they encounter a Supreme Treasure again in the future, they would have a different way of handling it.

In the Sect Competition, where life and death were not restrained, those who survived were the elite.

“This is a trial. Those who make it to the end will become the individuals that our Giant’s Island focuses on cultivating!” Liushui Kuanghan snorted coldly, then, with a sweep of his sleeve, sat down cross-legged on the platform, closing his eyes to rest and recuperate.

He had a clear understanding; the Eastern Ancestor, with his extensive knowledge and experience, had already implied it. Many of Giant’s Island’s disciples were bound to perish this time.

Out of sight, out of mind.

He was unwilling to just watch as the disciples of Giant’s Island were killed, powerless to help.
