Swish! Swish! Swish!
A group of people sped quickly, desperately breaking through the encirclent.
After several dozen miles, the group of Red Fla Star Beasts in the lead slowly stopped their pursuit due to territorial instincts, but the number of beasts remained around several dozen trailing them.
During this ti, several early-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivators were unlucky and lacked the strength to fend off the Star Beasts. They were directly dragged down and swiftly perished.
"Although the space within Star Source Hell was not large, judging by the current situation, there were certainly over a thousand Red Fla Star Beasts.
How many Red Fla Star Beast Kings were there among them?
One thing was clear though, the goal of the Celestial Spirit Sect’s group was not the fall of the Primordial Magnetic King marked on the map Wang Weizhen had given .
But I could also surmise that here, the number of Red Fla Star Beast Kings comparable to King-Sealing or even stronger must be no fewer than two.
Actually, it should be more."
*Bai Ziyue pondered deeply, always following behind Zhang Dongsheng and the Celestial Sword True Monarch, among others.*
"It is right here.
I sense the aura belonging to the Heaven-Controlling Bottle in that volcano’s crater.
The Heaven-Controlling Bottle must be within this nest."
Nine Extres Sword King Zhang Dongsheng said with an excited tone.
As they approached the volcano, the Red Fla Star Beasts trailing them seed to sense the extraordinary nature of the place, gradually halting and sinking back into the lava rivers below.
"Be cautious, there is at least one Red Fla Star Beast King here."
Celestial Sword True Monarch said with a serious expression.
"Understood!"
Zhang Dongsheng nodded and then looked toward Bai Ziyue and the rest.
Including them, there were originally sixteen Golden Core Realm Cultivators, but now only twelve remained, with one or two injured and their combat power significantly reduced.
"Fellow Daoist Qian, go inside and scout to see how many Red Fla Star Beasts are hidden, and whether there is a Red Fla Star Beast King."
He added coldly.
Fellow Daoist Qian was one of the two early-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivators who had been injured among them.
The other was True Monarch Xiyu, who had encountered a Level 4 Star Beast earlier and decisively severed a leg after being hit.
"What?"
True Monarch Qian’s face changed, revealing an expression of disbelief.
Exploring a Star Beast’s lair, even if he weren’t injured presently, he had no confidence whatsoever.
One had to know that the weakest of these Star Beasts within Star Source Hell were Level 4, akin to late-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivators.
And he was rely early-stage Golden Core Realm, already severely injured.
Even though the Star Beasts were not particularly intelligent, and Immortal Cultivators typically had nurous techniques, the absolute gap in power was not easily bridged.
*He had absolutely no confidence.*
"Elder Sword King, I am currently injured, can another Daoist be sent to explore?"
In his hesitation, True Monarch Qian quickly said.
"What? You don’t want to?"
Zhang Dongsheng slightly raised his eyebrows, discontent evident on his playful face upon being refused.
A King-Sealing Powerhouse, his words were final, his orders absolute.
Ever since he had ascended to the peak of Golden Core Realm and sealed his king status, even Primordial Spirit Realm Powerhouses showed him respect, and any Cultivator with a lower realm dared not defy him.
Yet now, as he formally commanded a group of Cultivators, he was refused, a chill suffusing his gaze.
"I... I..."
True Monarch Qian hesitated, looking for help from the surrounding Daoists.
But everyone was aware of the peril of this mission, so none dared take on this task themselves.
Thus, they all averted their gaze from him.
"Hmm?"
Nine Extres Sword King spoke again, already sowhat impatient.
"Elder Sword King, I... I..."
True Monarch Qian broke out in a cold sweat, visibly terrified.
True Monarch Jujue, who always admired his senior brother Nine Extres Sword King, couldn’t stand a Cultivator from a small place daring to defy his senior brother’s command, and in anger, coldly declared, "Don’t want to, then die!"
Everyone was shocked by his words.
True Monarch Qian was equally alard, though he did not believe True Monarch Jujue would actually kill him at this mont. He quickly deferred, "I lack strength and was injured earlier, thus unable to do much. Why not... let True Monarch Zuihu take action; his strength is not weak, and his speed is fast..."
True Monarch Zuihu, who had remained indifferent, suddenly changed his expression, a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"Don’t want to, then die!"
At this mont, True Monarch Jujue spoke again, his voice turning decisively cold.
Then, without hesitation, he struck.
A huge sword flashed like lightning, darting out instantly.
It was incredibly fast, more agile than anything imaginable.
With just a light slice.
Despite True Monarch Qian using all his might to guard, evade, resist, he ended up like an ant before a chariot, effortlessly crushed and slain by that sword.
Swoosh!
A head flew skyward.
True Monarch Qian fell!
The soul within his Golden Core was outright annihilated by the power of destruction contained in the sword strike.
The disparity in strength between them was too great.
True Monarch Qian was rely at an early-stage of the Golden Core Realm and heavily injured beforehand; how could he possibly contend with True Monarch Jujue of the Celestial Spirit Sect, a powerhouse at the late-stage Golden Core Realm?
True Monarch Jujue possessed an Upper Third-Grade Golden Pill, his true combat power rivaling the second echelon of peak Golden Core Realm.
"What?"
"Fellow Daoist Qian was a Golden Core Cultivator and a disciple of the True Technique Sect, a first-class Sect in the Gushe Mountain Range..."
"How dare he? Really acted?"
"Though Fellow Daoist Qian defied a King-Sealing Powerhouse’s order, and tried to drag Fellow Daoist Zuihu down, sowhat disgracefully, being thus slain seed too excessive, didn’t it?"
"True Monarch Jujue’s actions were too ruthless and unfeeling."
Everyone’s expressions changed, their hearts filled with shock and disbelief.
Even though everyone had faintly sensed the Celestial Spirit Sect’s indifferent attitude toward them before.
It seed they did not care about their lives or deaths.
But they never imagined the other side would go to such lengths, daring to slay one among them in public.
Involuntarily, a sense of fear and sadness erged in everyone’s hearts.
There was so anger and panic.
"Indeed, this was the style of the Celestial Spirit Sect.
Dominant, ruthless.
They were unscrupulous in achieving their goals."
*Bai Ziyue felt a chill in his heart, a look of reminiscence crossing his face.*
*He certainly hadn’t forgotten his encounter with the Celestial Spirit Sect within the Desolate Ancient Realm.*
