Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

They were approaching the deepest part of the Trial Grounds.

The baleful aura here was so intense that it made one feel uncomfortable all over.

Moreover, Jun Wuxie had a strange feeling, as if in certain places within this area, pairs of cold eyes were watching him.

That feeling was chilling, sending shivers down his spine.

It was as if he was being targeted by many man-eating beasts.

He became vigilant and continued to delve deeper.

Before long, a high mountain appeared at the end of his line of sight.

That mountain was extremely peculiar; except for the front, the other three sides were actually void.

It seemed to be situated in another space-time dimension.

At the peak of the mountain, there was a terrifying baleful aura, billowing upwards like black smoke, rising from the mountain and gradually dispersing, forming black clouds around the peak.

At the same time, the space above the mountain peak had turned into nothingness, constantly twisting and annihilating, a horrifying sight, like a void black hole that could devour everything in the world.

"Young Master, we're almost there, it's right there!" Lingfei pointed to the mountain stretching to the end of the world and said, "I fell into the world rift back then and came to this world from the abyss at that mountain peak."

"You mean, at the peak of that mountain, there's an abyss, and the rift that connects the two worlds is in the abyss?"

Jun Wuxie's heart was beating fast; it was the first time he had seen such a scene.

The scene presented by the peak of that mountain was truly terrifying, making one feel especially oppressed.

Lingfei nodded, giving a definite answer.

They continued forward, and as they got closer and closer to that mountain, some figures appeared in their sight.

Before, because they were too far away and the targets were too small, Jun Wuxie hadn't noticed them.

Now, he could vaguely see many people on the way to the mountain peak.

Besides humans, there were also hundreds of baleful spirits at the foot of the mountain.

Those baleful spirits had extremely strong baleful auras and high realms.

"What realms are they?"

He found it somewhat difficult to judge; the difference in realms was too great, making it difficult to see through.

Hearing this, Lingfei said, "Star River Realm, with the leader at the seventh transformation of the Star River Realm, and the Baleful Spirit King at the peak of the tenth transformation of the Star River Realm."

"Such high realms?"

Jun Wuxie became serious.

His gaze locked onto the several giant baleful spirits, over ten meters tall, at the very front of the baleful spirit horde.

There was no need to doubt that they must be the Baleful Spirit Leader and King!

Six in total.

Five at the seventh transformation of the Star River Realm, and one at the peak of the tenth transformation of the Star River Realm!

Below the mountain, the group of baleful spirits was arranged neatly, like an army.

A team of baleful spirits was launching an assault towards the mountain.

The road up the mountain was very narrow, only allowing two or three baleful spirits to attack simultaneously each time.

That road led to the mountain peak, and suddenly widened more than ten times at the halfway point.

The people from the擎山Sword Sect and the大河Sword Sect were guarding the suddenly widened intersection, working together to resist the successive attacks of the baleful spirits.

Jun Wuxie saw more than a dozen corpses lying on that narrow mountain road.

There were several shocking blood holes on the necks of those corpses; their faces were pale, without a trace of blood, and their eyes were wide open after death, filled with fear.

Near the foot of the mountain, it was no longer boundless here, and there were occasionally small hills.

Jun Wuxie and Lingfei hid on a small hill, observing the situation ahead.

Why were the people from the擎山Sword Sect and the大河Sword Sect heading to the mountain peak?

He was very curious now and wanted to know the truth.

However, the mountain peak was shrouded in baleful aura, and many places were collapsing in the void; at his current distance, it was difficult to see clearly what was attracting the people of the two sects above.

"Hmm? Is that...?"

Jun Wuxie's gaze searched the mountain.

He focused his eyesight and saw a figure from behind.

That figure was very close to the mountain peak, with a great distance between him and the disciples of the two sects.

However, that figure was very strange.

He was frozen on the mountain road, his right foot stepping forward, his left heel slightly raised, in a posture of wanting to continue forward, but he never took another step.

He held a sword in his hand, the tip of the sword inserted into the ground, but his head was slightly raised, looking towards the mountain peak, as if he was gazing at the annihilating void above the peak.

The whole picture remained like this.

Jun Wuxie watched for a long time, but the figure did not move at all.

"Who is that?"

Jun Wuxie felt deeply strange; this scene seemed a bit wrong.

"That person is already dead, not a living person."

Lingfei said this.

Jun Wuxie's heart trembled upon hearing this.

Dead?

He stared carefully at the figure from behind, and the more he looked, the more shocked he became.

Judging from the back and clothing, that person was wearing a sword robe, but it was different from the sword robes worn by the disciples of the擎山Sword Sect and the大河Sword Sect.

Moreover, his back didn't seem like that of a young man.

The Trial Grounds hadn't been opened for thousands of years, and those who came in this time were all young warriors, so who was this person?

"Could it be that thousands of years ago, the Sword King of the擎山Sword Sect?"

Having such a guess in his mind, Jun Wuxie himself was somewhat stunned.

Dead for thousands of years, yet the corpse hadn't decayed?

Just as his mind was filled with doubts.

Some disciples from the擎山Sword Sect and the大河Sword Sect were heading towards the mountain peak.

Their posture of walking seemed very difficult.

All the way up, every few steps they climbed, the void around their bodies would follow suit.

As they walked, the person in front suddenly screamed.

Jun Wuxie saw that his body instantly cracked, like a shattered piece of porcelain, directly turning into fragments.

There was no blood.

The moment the body exploded, the fragments of flesh turned into powder on the spot, disappearing into the twisted void.

The people behind suddenly stopped, trembling, and dared not move forward.

At this time, Jun Wuxie saw the disciples of the擎山Sword Sect suddenly push the disciples of the大河Sword Sect in front of them.

That disciple was immediately pushed out.

The body was annihilated in the twisted air, only having time to utter a short scream.

At this time, the void shook and spread, extending towards the mountain.

Gradually, it spread to the location where the figure from behind was.

His body, in an instant, turned into dust like a sand sculpture blown by the wind.

In the annihilated dust, a dazzling and piercing sword light bloomed.

Jun Wuxie's pupils shrank sharply.

It was a walnut-sized multi-faceted crystal, floating in the air, the light it emitted, like sword energy gushing out!

"Heart of the Sword King?"

He immediately thought of those four words!

Now, everything was clear.

That figure was indeed the Sword King of the擎山Sword Sect thousands of years ago.

His flesh had long rotted, perhaps because that place was special, so it looked like he still maintained the posture and appearance of his death.

However, this was just the appearance; under the shaking of the void, his flesh was annihilated.

The crystal left behind must be the Heart of the Sword King that Jiu Ye spoke of.

That Heart of the Sword King was also the purpose of the擎山Sword Sect's opening of the Trial Grounds this time.

No wonder the people from the擎山Sword Sect and the大河Sword Sect were climbing the mountain.

At this moment, the expressions of the people from the擎山Sword Sect were excited, looking at the floating Heart of the Sword King, their eyes hot and greedy!

But they did not dare to act rashly, forcibly pulling two true disciples of the大河Sword Sect in front of them, letting them explore the way and test the strength of the void strangulation.

The two true disciples of the大河Sword Sect were filled with fear, their bodies trembling, wanting to resist but daring not to, and could only grit their teeth and move forward.

"Lingfei, let's go!"

Jun Wuxie no longer waited.

Now, the general situation had been understood clearly.

He must obtain the Heart of the Sword King!

He just didn't know how strong the void strangulation was, and whether his body could withstand it.

No matter what, he had to try!

That Heart of the Sword King had extraordinary significance for the Sect Master Academy!

If he could obtain it, Jiu Ye would be able to step into the Sect King Realm because of it, surpassing the realm of the ancestor, and become a Sword King-level powerhouse in one fell swoop!

The ancestor was only at the Half-Step Sect King Realm back then!

In that case, revitalizing the sect and restoring its former prosperity would have a solid foundation.

They rushed towards the mountain at the fastest speed.

Along the way, the golden blood energy surged, as if carrying a golden ocean, with great momentum.

The baleful spirits at the foot of the mountain heard the movement and turned their heads to look.

Suddenly, the fierce light in their eyes greatly increased, and they screamed and rushed up.

At this moment, on another small hill, Jin Xuanyu had a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

He had actually arrived long ago, but because there were many baleful spirits at the foot of the mountain, he had not shown himself.

He knew that Jun Wuxie would definitely come, so he hid.

As a result, Jun Wuxie really appeared.

There was also a woman beside him.

He didn't know who that woman was, because of the angle, he couldn't see her face.

But these were not important anymore.

"Boy, let me see what kind of trump cards you have! You can actually get a huge amount of points in a short time! Even if you have trump cards, facing so many Star River Realm baleful spirits is enough to exhaust them! By then, killing you will be a snap! Well, but don't worry, I won't let you die easily, I will slowly torture you, and kill you!"

He muttered to himself, his words were cold and confident.
