Chapter 2556: Chapter 2554: Accident

“What is the barrier of the Mysterious Sword Sect doing?”

Ethan Smith frowned. Previously, Master Chenshuang had asked him to leave, but suddenly, this barrier was deployed.

Judging by the aura emitted from this barrier, it is the sect’s most urgent formation barrier. Once activated, you cannot leave unless it’s breached.

At the same time, a mountain peak suddenly burst open.

Brilliant lights flickered on it, with countless runes shining brightly in the sky, forming rivers of skill techniques.

As Ethan Smith was astonished, another mountain peak also emitted a huge light.

As those runes exploded suddenly, countless treasures shot straight into the clouds.

There were unexpectedly numerous magical artifacts with extraordinary auras, these artifacts sparkled with dazzling treasure light, resembling a world of jewels under the sunlight.

And at this moment, outside the entire barrier, a layer of dark clouds slowly approached the locality of the Mysterious Sword Sect, the Sword Shadow Xuan Region.

Wherever this layer of dark clouds reached, darkness spread below.

Even the most scorching midday sun couldn’t penetrate it in the slightest.

Meanwhile, on the Lonely Shadow Continent, Yalric Whitehead and the Four Great Godly Kings suddenly received instructions.

Yalric Whitehead and a group of the Eight-winged Demon Clan Army slowly vanished into the Void.

Dudley Lynch also let out a cold smile and disappeared from where he was.

…

Within the Mysterious Sword Sect, a majestic voice suddenly echoed atop a mountain peak.

From this day onwards, the skill techniques of the Scripture Pavilion will no longer be hidden, and those who can comprehend them may practice at will.

As for all the magical artifacts of the Artifact Refining Peak, those who are capable shall obtain them, regardless of life and death!

With the utterance of these two sentences, the entire Mysterious Sword Sect erupted into chaos.

You must know that among these magical artifacts, there were even a few Crossing Tribulation Peak auras, and there was even a hint of a celestial artifact hidden among these magic treasures.

These magical artifacts, which could be housed in the Artifact Refining Peak, were undoubtedly all powerful artifacts.

Perhaps any one of these magic treasures was something some disciples could never attain in their lifetime, unless they made significant contributions to the sect, they might have a chance to be rewarded. But now, they were suddenly released, causing an uproar among the disciples.

“War is coming soon…”

The speaker showed a complex expression on their face, looking with grief at the approaching dark clouds.

And after a brief silence, the entire Mysterious Sword Sect suddenly erupted with countless terrifying spell techniques, and in the blink of an eye, some were severely injured, or even directly drowned by powerful dao techniques, resulting in instant death.

Faced with these treasures, even these cultivators could not repress the great desires within their hearts.

“Ethan Smith, my friend.”

A figure walked over to him, sitting down beside him.

At this moment, the aura of Mysterious Heart was different from before, as if he had some enlightenment from the legacy obtained from Purple Sun.

“I just received a message from the Master, Purple Sun will be here soon.”

Mysterious Heart was silent for a while, then suddenly said.

“What?”

Ethan Smith was greatly shocked.

“This is where Master Purple Sun first comprehended the dao, and it’s also where his deepest emotional ties lie. Back then, this place was merely a barren little village. He and several other senior uncles comprehended the dao here, and guarded the nearby Human Spirits around the Sword Shadow Xuan Region. Nearly ten billion Hominini are under the protection of our Mysterious Sword Sect, and numerous people have gained enlightenment and cultivated here, becoming cultivators of the Mysterious Sword Sect.”

“What does this mean for Purple Sun?”

Ethan Smith was somewhat puzzled.

“If he wants to condense a divinity, rising from Sixth Rank to Seventh Rank, his soul must be free of any distractions. The Sword Shadow Xuan Region here must also not exist; otherwise, it will become his current nightmare.”

“If a Saint intervenes, won’t other Saints stop it? Moreover, whether Cran or Ksitigarbha King, they are all seriously injured now, isn’t it possible to contend against them with the current power of the human clan Saints? And isn’t even Master Chenshuang a Saint?”

Ethan Smith’s brows were tightly knit.

“Do you know the numbers of three-nine and nine-nine? A Saint divides destiny energy into nine parts, and the human clan occupies nine positions, which means there are also nine positions for other Different Races. Earlier, when Skyler Taylor was ambushed and died, the masked woman took up that share of destiny energy. Purple Sun turning to demonic means another reduction for the human clan. Even though a few who invaded the human clan were severely injured before, looking at it now, it would take at least a seven-point effort to resist the Different Races, and it’s unlikely there would be more reinforcement, or else the Master wouldn’t have opened the barrier.”

Mysterious Heart placed Penny Oliver on his lap and slowly got up.

“But it is for the best, this time I can settle both old and new scores together.”

“Emperor Yao, quickly analyze for me, figure out a problem.”

At this moment, Ethan Smith was also greatly shocked, quickly calling out to Emperor Yao.

Everything happened so quickly that Ethan Smith felt completely unprepared. After all, when it comes to a struggle among the Saints, if not careful, one might just vanish into thin air.

Ethan Smith still deeply remembered the scene in the Misty Forest, where they stood no chance at all in front of Purple Sun.

“I feel that the aura of all Saints is somewhat turbulent, estimating that it’s unlikely we will get support from the Saints here. Accompanying Purple Sun are numerous Fifth Rank Godly Kings and Demon Beasts. But this is secondary; Purple Sun’s aura is much stronger than Chenshuang’s. For Chenshuang to completely hold onto Purple Sun is very difficult, which means if other Saints cannot support us, the outcome here will most likely be very dire.”

Emperor Yao pondered for a long time, seemingly sensing those intense auras over Fifth Rank within Heaven and Earth.

“If a Saint takes action, even a casual strike is probably something we cannot withstand. Why not take this moment to leave quickly?”

Ethan Smith said with a frown.

If Master Chenshuang were to be overwhelmed, it would mean catastrophic disaster for them.

For a Saint to act against any Fifth Rank is a dimension reduction attack.

“It’s not that easy. Once a Saint has you locked, even the ends of the earth are within his divine sense. After his divine thought locks onto this place, that path is already completely impossible. Leaving now might lead to a faster death. For Purple Sun, the more thorough the destruction here, the deeper the severance of his ties. But Master Chenshuang, that little guy, did condense a Retribution Seal for you with the power of a Saint, which might withstand a single strike from Purple Sun. So you need not worry too much. Plus, there are eight questions left, not nine.”

Emperor Yao finished speaking and returned to the Nine-lives Coffin.

Ethan Smith shook his head with a wry smile, having been inexplicably drawn into this war.

Ethan Smith suddenly remembered what Emperor Yao had instructed before departure last time.

Regarding his desolate divine eye, he advised immersing it with extreme force, suggesting it might yield unexpected results.

However, during the trip to the Misty Forest, he wasn’t able to use it.

Ethan Smith hesitated for a moment, thinking he might seize this opportunity to try it out.

With the help of the Retribution Seal, his body had already recovered significantly, and with the healing effects of the Heart of the Ocean, his body should now be able to withstand the Primordial Force without collapsing.
