In the Cloud Sea, the thousands of cultivators were still sitting outside the spatial crack where the Demon Sect was. They were recovering their origin energy, and they would occasionally open their eyes to look at the spatial crack.
They were used to this kind of life, and they had lived like this for many years.
The three people from the Demon Sect surrounded by fog were also sitting in the distance. Their gazes swept past the crack.
It had been nearly one month since Wang Lin entered the spatial crack. For cultivators, one month was an extremely short period of time.
Often, several months would pass in one moment of cultivation.
However, at this moment, none of the surrounding cultivators, including the three people from the Demon Sect, were in the mood to cultivate for a long time. This was because the spatial crack they were familiar with had become extremely strange during this one month.
The inside of the spatial crack was too quiet, so quiet that it was terrifying. It was as if the inside of the spatial crack had become a dead zone. This was something that had rarely happened in the past countless years. Normally, fierce beasts would charge out from the spatial crack, and there would be bursts of roars coming from inside. However, right now it was completely silent.
If this was it, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, not only was the spatial crack silent, there was also the smell of blood coming out. Although the smell of blood was very faint, it was endless. It was as if a heaven-shaking slaughter had occurred inside the spatial crack. The range of the slaughter was too large, and the entire world inside the spatial crack had turned into hell!
The silence and the stench of blood inside the crack turned into an invisible pressure. This pressure became stronger and stronger until it weighed down on the thousands of cultivators outside the crack. No one could enter a meditative state.
Just at this moment, a ray of green light shot out from the crack. The moment the green light appeared, all the surrounding cultivators' gazes focused on it. The green light shot out from the crack and turned into the figure of an old man. This old man was one of the six great experts among the thousands of cultivators.
He had decided to sneak into the spatial crack a few days ago, and no one had stopped him. Everyone wanted to know what had happened inside the spatial crack.
When the old man returned, his face was filled with shock and disbelief. Terror filled his face, and when everyone's gazes gathered on him, he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"There are corpses everywhere!!
They're all the corpses of ferocious beasts. They're in pieces and were pushed out from the depths of the crack by a force … I didn't go too deep, but there's a thick stench of blood inside. I can feel that because too many ferocious beasts died in the depths of the crack, it's probably turned into a sea of blood … There are ferocious beasts of all levels, and there are even King Beasts … All of them were killed in one blow, and their bodies collapsed! "
The old man's words caused the expressions of the surrounding cultivators to change greatly. Even though they had their guesses, they were still shocked to hear it confirmed.
"All of this must have been caused by the cultivator who entered looking for Li Qianmei a month ago. That person's cultivation is unfathomable, to actually be able to cause such a calamity in this battlefield!
It's just … it's just that all of this is too inconceivable. No matter how high his cultivation is, he's only a single person. How could he cause such a massacre!? "
"Even the elder of the Demon Sect was no match for that cultivator and was left with internal injuries. That person's cultivation is shocking, but I don't think he caused all of this. After all, there are too many ferocious beasts in this spatial crack. It's impossible for him to kill so many by himself!"
"It's likely that a new emperor beast was born in this spatial crack, or another fierce beast that has taken human form has appeared. These fierce beasts often fight each other, so this might have been done by that mysterious emperor beast!"
When the surrounding cultivators heard the old man's words, they all went into an uproar. They looked at the spatial crack with shock in their eyes, but they also became highly vigilant.
The three people from the Demon Sect also had serious expressions. One of them was about to take out a jade to send a message back to the Demon Sect, but just at this moment, the space outside the spatial crack changed greatly!
Due to the appearance of the bright nebulae, there was a faint light that didn't affect one's vision. In fact, to the cultivators here, everything was clearly visible.
But suddenly, the starry sky seemed to darken, and a powerful pressure gathered from all directions. This pressure was so powerful that it could not be described with words. The moment it appeared, cracking sounds echoed in the starry sky.
It was as if space itself was being squeezed by this omnipresent pressure!
Some of the thousands of Cultivators with low cultivation bases turned pale under the pressure. Popping sounds came from within their bodies, as if their bones were rubbing against each other. Blood sprayed from their mouths as their minds were severely injured!
"This is!!!"
"What is this!?!"
The expressions of the thousands of cultivators changed greatly and they all spread out their cultivation to resist this pressure. Then they looked up at the sky!
Rumbling clouds began to form in the starry sky. Clouds weren't supposed to appear in the starry sky, but now, they had appeared!
The rolling clouds were purple in color, and they were dense and boundless. They appeared out of thin air and enveloped the surrounding star field. The clouds squirmed, and they were still madly condensing.
As it condensed, the pressure grew stronger and stronger. Loud rumbling sounds came from the clouds, like roars and shouts that shook the heavens and the earth, causing the entire starry sky to tremble.
It was as if a gap to another world had been opened in the clouds. A giant pavilion appeared inside the gap. This pavilion was made of white jade, and it continued to squeeze out from the gap!
The thunderous rumbles became even more intense and endless bolts of Thunder moved through the clouds. Sometimes they would collide and create heaven-shaking rumbles. At this moment, the star system trembled as if it was going to collapse!
The pressure became stronger and stronger. The clouds seemed to be boundless and spread like crazy. In the blink of an eye, they shrouded more than half of the rank 9 region!
The thousands of cultivators' minds trembled as they stared at the sky. A sense of fear from their souls erupted. It was unknown who retreated first, but in just a moment, the thousands of cultivators retreated like crazy. They wanted to get away from the clouds.
"Divine retribution!!!
This is … This is divine retribution!!! "
A shrill scream came from the crowd. When the surrounding cultivators heard this, their faces turned pale, and they retreated as if they had gone mad!
"Divine retribution, it really is divine retribution!!"
The three people from the Demon Sect trembled and their eyes were filled with fear. They didn't hesitate to retreat.
There was a thunderous rumble.
A thunderous rumble came from the clouds and caused the entire star system to tremble. Hundreds of cultivators coughed out blood and fell to the ground.
The thunderous rumble turned into a sound wave that spread out. In the blink of an eye, it shook the entire rank 9 region. The thick fog in the rank 9 region instantly collapsed under the rumble of the thunder and clouds. The many fierce beasts hidden inside let out terrified roars.
It was like the end of the rank 9 region had arrived, and a huge wave was set off!
The moment the clouds appeared and the thunderous rumble echoed inside the Demon Sect, all the elders awakened from their cultivation. Their expressions changed greatly as they charged out of their sects and appeared among the stars.
The moment the 16 elders of the Demon Sect appeared and saw the clouds, their pupils shrank.
"This … What kind of divine retribution is this!?!?"
"This is immeasurable divine retribution!"
Just as the elders of the Demon Sect were shocked, an ancient voice echoed from the Demon Sect. This voice was solemn, as if he cared a lot about the divine retribution in the clouds.
"Greetings, High Elder!"
When the 16 elders heard this voice, they immediately looked at the Demon Sect with respectful expressions. A ray of white light flew out from the Demon Sect and turned into a middle-aged man wearing a daoist robe. Although he looked young, he gave off an ancient aura, as if he had lived for far too long.
"Divine retribution is ever-changing, but it is nothing more than thunder, god, might, and so on. Only this immeasurable divine retribution is the most terrifying and unpredictable. Rumor has it that it is on the same level as the heavens and is a sure-kill divine retribution!
I don't know which fellow cultivator triggered this kind of divine retribution! "
The middle-aged man revealed a melancholy expression as he looked at the clouds that were spreading like crazy and slowly spoke.
"The Sect Master once said that all living beings need to go through immeasurable divine retribution. I didn't expect the Old Man to really see immeasurable divine retribution!
"Open the formation at the sect and let all the cultivators outside enter the Demon Sect. Otherwise, they will all be destroyed by this immeasurable divine retribution!" The middle-aged man stared at the clouds and his expression became even more serious.
His words were like an order. The 16 elders spread out their divine senses and the Demon Sect planet opened. A large amount of Demon Sect members flew out and guided the cultivators outside the battlefield.
The disciples of the Demon Sect were like a mortal army. Once they gave the order, they used some unknown method to guide all the cultivators back to the Demon Sect planet.
The moment there were no cultivators outside the Demon Sect, the Demon Sect's formation suddenly opened. Thunderous rumbles echoed as if it wanted to compete with the power of the divine retribution. Finally, the formation completely covered all the planets in the Demon Sect.
"My Demon Sect has no one to face divine retribution. With the power of the formation, there should be no problem!
The Old Man wants to see who could trigger this kind of divine retribution! "The middle-aged man's gaze was like a torch. It was as if his gaze could penetrate the void and directly look at the battlefield.
The clouds spread like crazy. In a short period of time, they completely shrouded the rank 9 region. Thunder rumbled inside the clouds, shocking all the cultivators who saw it.
As the clouds continued to spread, the gap that led to the other world began to tear open. Half of the white jade pavilion had already been squeezed out!
The pupils of the high elder of the Demon Sect, the middle-aged man in a daoist robe, immediately shrank as he stared at the half-exposed white jade pavilion. He saw a statue sitting in the lotus position on the pavilion, and there were two stone swords stabbed into the ground before the statue!
