Chapter 131: The Secret Treasure Opens
In a dark space, Shi Kun and his men found themselves transported to an unknown place. As soon as they arrived, the formation linking them together disappeared. Simultaneously, their energy started dissipating under a powerful devouring force.
"Wh-What is this place?" Shi Kun asked, his voice trembling with fear. Without the formation's support, he was merely a one-star Nirvana stage cultivator.
"Welcome to the Devouring Realm!" Xiao Tian appeared, looking at Shi Kun and his men with an indifferent expression. "Today, you will all meet your end here."
With a simple gesture, an overwhelmingly powerful force emerged. Shi Kun and his men realized they were utterly powerless against this force.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Their bodies exploded one by one into blood mist, which was quickly devoured by the surrounding energy.
As he absorbed their energy, Xiao Tian felt a noticeable increase in his cultivation level. After finishing them off, he swiftly left the dark space.
...
Outside, everyone was in shock at how Xiao Tian had effortlessly taken away the Mo Yan Dynasty members without any resistance. They had no idea what kind of technique he had used.
Not long after, a distortion in the void occurred, and Xiao Tian reappeared, but the Mo Yan Dynasty members did not return.
A burly man asked, "Where is Shi Kun?"
Xiao Tian smiled faintly, "He is dead. All the members of the Mo Yan Dynasty are dead!"
"Dead?" Many found it hard to believe Xiao Tian's words.
Xiao Tian paid no attention to their doubts and led his group away. As days passed, the Mo Yan Dynasty members never reappeared, dead or alive. This finally convinced people that Xiao Tian's claim was true.
News of the Mo Yan Dynasty's possible annihilation spread like wildfire through the Ancient Palace, causing a massive uproar. The Mo Yan Dynasty was not an ordinary high-level dynasty; it boasted at least twenty Nirvana stage cultivators. The fact that such a powerful force had been wiped out so quickly by a single person shocked everyone.
...
A few days later, the day for the secret treasure's unveiling arrived. The entire Ancient Palace buzzed with excitement as countless cultivators, including Dou Zongs, hurried to the central area, converging around a tall tower-like altar.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" Two figures descended onto the altar, both holding ancient keys. The surrounding crowd's eyes burned with greed and desire. If not for the formidable power backing these two, they would have been robbed of their keys long ago.
Soon, Xiao Tian arrived at the altar, stepping on the air as he descended.
"Greetings, Brother Xiao!" The two keyholders bowed respectfully.
"Is that the legendary Xiao Tian who single-handedly wiped out the entire Mo Yan Dynasty?" whispered many among the crowd as they watched him.
"Let's begin," Xiao Tian said, taking out his two keys without acknowledging the crowd's whispers. As the four keys appeared simultaneously, the altar was enveloped in a dazzling light.
"Buzz!" The ancient runes on the altar lit up, floating into the air and coalescing together.
"Boom!" A vast pillar of light shot skyward, and within it, an ancient door imbued with a timeless aura materialized in the sky.
"Creak!" The door slowly opened, and the crowd immediately transformed into streams of light, rushing inside. Xiao Tian put away the keys and entered the door with his group.
...
Inside the door was a world of withered yellow, where massive rocks floated in the void, dotted with remnants of ruins. The space was desolate, occasionally disrupted by violent spatial fluctuations and rifts, indicating its impending collapse.
As they navigated the rocky ruins, they saw the names of various sects, suggesting this space once belonged to an alliance.
After traversing the ruins, they landed on a massive rock resembling a desert. Xiao Tian noticed a skeleton in the desert's center.
"Let's go take a look," he said, flying towards it.
Minutes later, they reached the desert's center. The skeleton was ancient yellow, with faint traces of gold.
Mo Tie sensed its aura and remarked, "This skeleton possesses incredible strength!"
"He must have undergone at least six Nirvana tribulations," Xiao Tian explained. "This desert likely formed because he failed his last tribulation."
Everyone was shocked. Although they knew the Nirvana tribulation was terrifying, they had never imagined it could be this deadly.
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Tian reduced the skeleton to dust, leaving behind a golden orb.
"Is that a Golden Body Relic?" Mo Tie and the others' eyes lit up with desire. This relic contained the essence of a Nirvana cultivator's body, capable of greatly enhancing their Nirvana Golden Bodies if refined.
"Let's move on," Xiao Tian said, putting away the relic and heading farther ahead.
After a long flight, they finally stopped.
"Splash!" Before them lay a crimson river suspended in the void, a spectacular sight.
"What... so much Nirvana Qi!" They were astonished to see the river filled entirely with liquid Nirvana Qi.
"This is not just Nirvana Qi," Xiao Tian explained. "This is the Dan River, composed of countless Nirvana Pills!"
Tang Xuan swallowed hard, marveling, "The ancient sects truly had remarkable resources!"
As they approached, they saw the river brimming with liquid Nirvana Qi, enough to allow everyone to complete their Nirvana cultivation.
"Bang!" Suddenly, a fiery figure emerged from the river, attacking them.
"Pfft!" With a flick of his finger, Xiao Tian obliterated its head, revealing the figure to be a humanoid creature covered in fiery scales.
"What is that?" Lin Dong asked curiously.
"That's a Dan Spirit Corpse," Xiao Tian explained. "Bodies soaked in the Dan River for long periods transform into these mindless creatures. The river is likely full of them."
As he finished speaking, another Dan Spirit Corpse attacked.
"Boom!" Xiao Tian dispatched it with a punch and said, "Follow me. There are cultivation platforms on the river that can dilute the Nirvana liquid and prevent the Dan Spirit Corpses from attacking."
These insights came from the corpse Xiao Tian had encountered earlier. As they moved forward, they spotted a platform emerging from the Nirvana Qi.
