The vast star system was filled with star fog. Although it looked calm, it was filled with endless killing intent.
This was the rank 5 region of the Cloud Sea. Nearly 40% of the continents here belonged to rank 5 sects.
For the rank 1 to 4 regions, rank 5 sects were unreachable existences. If a member of a rank 5 sect went to the rank 4 region, they would be greeted respectfully.
At this moment, a whistling sound came from the originally calm fog sea in the rank 5 region. A ray of light pierced through, and inside the ray of light was a dragon-like spirit beast. There was a dignified cultivator standing on the head of the spirit beast.
After this ray of light, the fog churned even more violently. The fierce beasts inside the fog scattered in panic, and several more rays of light flew by.
This didn't end. In a short period of one incense stick of time, no less than a dozen rays of light broke through the fog and flew through the rank 5 region.
There were all kinds of spirit beasts inside these rays of light, and there were cultivators standing on the backs of these spirit beasts.
None of these cultivators came from the rank 5 region, they were all from the rank 6 region. The appearance of these people caused the rank 5 region to tremble.
It wasn't just this place. More than six regions in the rank 5 region had the same scene. The cultivators on the backs of the spirit beasts had gloomy expressions that hid ecstasy, excitement, and endless greed.
These cultivators from the rank 6 region all had the same goal: a wild continent in the rank 5 region!
The northern part of the wild continent Wang Lin was on trembled. Thunderous rumbles came from the distance as if something heavy was constantly falling. The fog churned and surged forward.
A few bird-like vicious beasts screeched as they flew through the mist, staying far away from them.
Many fierce beasts scattered on the ground. It was as if the rumbles from the fog were extremely terrifying to them.
A moment later, a giant figure 1,000 feet tall appeared. This figure was extremely thick, and as it got closer, its entire body was revealed.
It was a giant, black ape!
Behind the black ape, there were bull-like fierce beasts chasing like crazy. Their eyes were bloodshot, and they kicked up a cloud of dust on the ground.
The bull-like beast was surrounded by more than seven different beasts. They were entwined together, forming a long line of beasts. They were like a tide of beasts as they chased after the black ape with no intention of abandoning it.
There were also some bird-like fierce beasts chasing like crazy.
Anyone who saw this scene would feel their scalp go numb. Even powerful cultivators would feel their pupils constrict. There were simply too many beasts!
That was especially true considering that there were some rank 5 beasts among them. One divine ability after another whistled through the air toward the black ape.
However, the black ape's body was extremely agile and its skin was thick. Aside from dodging a few of the spells, even if they landed on its body, they wouldn't have much effect.
The black ape was running on the ground, and the rumbles were the sounds of its footsteps!
It was very fast, and as it ran, the wind howled. There was a mountain stream in front of it, and as it ran, the black ape stomped on the ground with its right foot. The earth seemed to shatter, and the black ape leaped into the air, crossing the mountain stream and rushing towards another mountain not far away.
It moved like a meteor, and in just a few breaths, it arrived at the top of the mountain. There were countless eagle-like beasts circling above the mountain, and they all charged at the black ape.
However, before they could get close, the black ape swung its arms and turned them into flowers of blood. It was as if no fierce beast could stop the black ape. It charged forward and instantly reached the top of the mountain. At the top of the mountain was a nest that was hundreds of feet wide.
As the black ape closed in, it slammed its right hand into the nest.
With a bang, the nest was instantly torn apart, turning into countless fragments that scattered in all directions, revealing a small red grass growing in the nest.
The black ape's right hand didn't stop there. After destroying the nest, it grabbed the mountain rock near the small grass and yanked it out with great force. The mountain rock, which was several tens of feet in size, was pulled out with a cracking sound.
The black ape let out a roar toward the sky with a hint of joy and ran into the distance.
Behind it, the eagle-like beasts let out sharp cries. No less than 1,000 eagle-like beasts went crazy and joined the beast tide to chase after the black ape!
As the black ape ran, it crushed the rock in its hand, revealing the small red grass inside. It threw it over its shoulder, and Wang Lin caught it. He looked at it for a moment before putting it into his storage space.
He gently patted the black ape's body, and the black ape immediately felt it. It let out an even more cheerful roar.
Its speed seemed to have increased as well.
The earth trembled. From a distance, it looked like the black ape was jumping up and down. Behind it was a cloud of dust that mixed with the fog. The fierce beasts continued to roar as they relentlessly chased after it.
On the wild continent, very few cultivators would dare to provoke fierce beasts like this, much less steal medicinal plants in such an arrogant manner. One fierce beast might not be a threat, but if there were tens of thousands of them, or even more than 100,000, the terrifying scene was enough to shock anyone!
In the distance, there were several cultivators from rank 5 sects who stared dumbfoundedly at this scene. They were like wooden chickens, unable to say anything.
The group of seven was extremely cautious when they came to the wild continent. They were afraid of attracting too many fierce beasts, so they didn't obtain many medicinal plants. Now that they saw the black ape's arrogance, they were shocked.
The black ape sprinted and leaped into the air, crossing several thousand feet and arriving at the top of another mountain peak. This mountain peak was like a sword and was extremely steep, but the black ape moved as if he was flying. Once he arrived at the top of the mountain, he bent down and used his right hand to touch a misty flower that grew behind the mountain peak.
It immediately picked up the misty flower.
Just at this moment, a sharp cry came from the sky. It was a rank 5 eagle that was more than 500 feet tall. It broke through the fog and charged at the bent black ape.
It was too fast; in the blink of an eye, it was less than 1,000 feet away!
Wang Lin's expression was the same as if he didn't see it. The black ape's eyes narrowed. It bent down and grabbed the top of the mountain with its left hand. It swung forward and its large body drew a circle around the top of the mountain like a swing. Its thick right leg immediately collided with the black eagle.
There was a loud bang and the black eagle felt great pain. It coughed out blood and retreated. The black ape borrowed the force to jump up. It didn't fight and instead ran away.
There were even more fierce beasts chasing after it.
Shi Luoxing was sitting in a dark valley with his eyes closed. His face was pale and there was still blood at the corner of his mouth that hadn't dried yet.
His black hair was disheveled and he looked very sorry.
Whimpering sounds that sounded like the cries of ghosts lingered in the surroundings, sometimes near, sometimes far, and sometimes far away. There were even bursts of banging sounds mixed in with the sounds. Not long after that, four figures staggered back from the front, and when they were thirty feet away from Shi Luoxing, one of them coughed out a mouthful of blood.
"Master, Third Brother died in battle. We … can't break out …" The four of them were all young men and their white robes were covered in blood.
Shi Luoxing was silent. He didn't open his eyes, but there was sadness on his face.
The valley he and his disciples were in was filled with fog. The fog was filled with dead souls that let out ear-piercing screams. Outside the valley floated eight giant skulls that were surrounded by green lightning. They were connected to each other and formed a formation.
This formation was very mysterious. It gathered the dead souls from the Wild Continent for tens of thousands of years and turned them into tangible objects. They fused with the formation and became a powerful spell.
These dead souls couldn't be refined into pills. The beast souls needed to refine pills were living souls!
Dead souls were mostly the resentment of humans or beasts before they died. This resentment fused with the world and wouldn't dissipate for a long time.
There was an old woman sitting on one of the eight skulls. Her skin was dry and wrinkled, making her look like a bag of bones. She had a ferocious expression, like a ghost. If a mortal saw her, they would definitely be scared to death.
There was a ghostly flash in her eyes that gave off a gloomy aura.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, you only have four of your 19 disciples left. Why continue to harm your disciples? If you hand over that thing now, this old woman will leave immediately."
Her gloomy voice echoed through the valley and clearly entered the ears of the five people inside. The four young cultivators' faces were pale as they silently looked at their master.
"Shi Luoxing, it's not worth it to lose your life for a mere worldly possession.
Although your cultivation level is high, you have been poisoned by my Five Poison Sect. If you use any spells in a short period of time, you will definitely die. Think about it carefully. "
Shi Luoxing's face twitched. He slowly opened his eyes and they shined brightly.
However, his face was filled with bitterness. He was the head disciple of the rank 6 Clear Flower Sect and was at the late stage of Nirvana Cleanser. He had secretly sneaked into the rank 3 region with his disciples to search for an item.
Initially, Shi Luoxing thought that this clue was not very reliable, but he did not expect it to be true. Everything went smoothly, but after he found the item, his whereabouts were somehow exposed, and even the item he took was found out. He was besieged along the way, and his disciples suffered heavy casualties. Even Shi Luoxing was poisoned, and when he escaped here, the poison acted up and he had no choice but to hide in this valley to expel the poison.
However, before he could expel the poison, he was caught by the old woman of the Five Poison Sect. She used the sect's formation to trap him in the valley.
He had already used a secret method to send out a message, but it would take some time for the people from the sect to arrive.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, even if your Clear Flower Sect sends people, it's useless!
According to what this old woman knows, aside from my Five Poison Sect, the Yue Soul Sect, the Dao Spell Sect, the Escape Sect, and the Devil Collection Sect have all moved out for the item in your hand!
The jade of the rank 8 region's Heaven Breaking Sect and the legendary Nirvana Void Pill recipe! "
