Towards the Path of Heaven

Chapter 294

There seemed to be a bloody aura coming out from the black gas on the beach. It might be difficult to detect, but Yan Chutian suddenly felt uneasy.

There might be something strange hidden in this seemingly desolate mountain!

With that thought in mind, how could Yan Chutian let the ground under his feet continue to approach? Instead, he used his spiritual power to control it, pulling it in the opposite direction and keeping it from moving.

His actions were very sudden, and many people were confused. However, a disciple of a second-rate power seemed to have noticed something and sneered, "So there are people who foolishly obey the rules of nonsense."

“Ha... After entering the Ancient Ruins, everything was determined by strength. The opportunity you take is yours. Don't tell me you don't even understand this?”

"Hey ... Why do you talk so much? Is there a shortage of cowards like him?"

A few disciples from the second-rate troops scoffed, but none of the disciples from the first-rate troops looked at Yan Chutian with approval.

In reality, they were even more dismissive of people like Yan Chutian. He was like an ant paving the way for them. Should they praise an ant?

Facing such a situation, Yan Chutian's expression was calm and he ignored everything. He believed in his intuition that there was an unknown danger hidden under the faint black gas on the shore.

However, his reaction made the disciples of the second-rate troops even more ridicule him. However, with the opportunity ahead, they ignored Yan Chutian.

If someone foolishly gives up on that opportunity, it is foolishness. Why should they care?

Furthermore, it was time to fight for the opportunity for themselves!

Several small plots of land under their control continued to approach the small mountain. Right now, no one cared about the rules they just mentioned. Instead, they all scramble to get closer to the odds.

During this period, even if one saw the faint black gas on the shore, they instantly ignored it.

Bang…!

Finally, a small piece of land approached the shore. It belonged to a disciple of the second-rate army who had ridiculed Yan Chutian before. At this moment, he was overjoyed and immediately jumped off the ground towards the small mountain.

However, as soon as he jumped down, he disappeared into the faint black fog by the shore and never appeared again.

This scene caused the anxious expression of one of the geniuses from the first-rate power behind him to change drastically. If he still could not feel anything now, then he would be too stupid.

However, at this point, even if he continued to use Qi to manipulate the ground under his feet to retreat, he found that he was unable to retreat at all. They could no longer control the land they had been able to control easily. They continued to move closer and closer to the small mountain shore.

"Save me …!"

He hurriedly asked for help from the people behind him, but the geniuses behind him could not avoid him in time, so who would come to save him?

So, in the end, one could see it gradually melting into the black Qi. Once he did, the thin-looking black Qi completely covered him, and he was no longer able to make any sound.

"Plops..."

The hillside beach was very long, so this kind of situation was not uncommon. Looking at the example of the two, some geniuses ended up inevitably jumping into the black river, hoping to find a way to survive.

Indeed, after jumping into the black river, they managed to distance themselves from the small mountain and the extremely strange black Qi.

This scene caused everyone who saw it to involuntarily feel a chill on their backs. Who would have thought that an area that seemed to be safe would hide so much danger?

One had to know that there were geniuses from first-rate sects among those people. Even if they were not of the top eight first-rate factions, if they were to truly compete in strength, they would not necessarily lose.

In other words, if they were a few steps faster, they would most likely suffer the same fate!

So, the atmosphere that followed was a deadly silence.

No matter who it was, no one dared to act rashly. Even Yan Chutian frowned as he looked at the situation around him. His entire body exuded a strong sense of alertness.

It was not that he was exaggerating, but the strange sight that appeared was something that even he did not have the confidence to reject.

However, what made it difficult was that the Lotus Dao was on a small mountain. If he were to leave now, wouldn't that mean he would lose this sole Lotus in the mortal world?

Yan Chutian hesitated, as did the geniuses around him. However, what they cared about was not special spiritual plants, but all heavenly treasures.

If they could harvest all these heavenly treasures, then undoubtedly this was a great opportunity!

With a high-level heavenly treasure, at least breaking through to the ninth level of the Elixir realm would not be a problem. Since they were geniuses, they naturally had great confidence. They believed it could definitely condense five spirit runes and break through.

Even if they broke through to the Yuanying realm, the heavenly treasures before them would be of great help!

Thus, after hesitating for a long time, some geniuses finally could not resist the desire in their hearts. Even though they knew that the road ahead was very dangerous, they still wanted to take risks.

But they are not naturally ready. Instead, they circulated spiritual energy and condensed a thick layer of defense on the surface of the body.

One of the geniuses from a first-rate sect even summoned his spirit runes. His spirit runes were definitely defensive runes. An ancient flag fluttered and a dense light enveloped him, protecting him from within.

There were also some who did not use their spirit runes, but rather used defensive spiritual techniques.

As they formed hand seals, majestic spiritual energy flowed out and turned into huge ancient bells that descended and locked the bodies of geniuses.

This kind of defense was something that even cultivators of the same level could not penetrate easily. His defensive strength was astounding.

Some people's thinking is even more radical. They really launched an attack. The spiritual spears in their hands were raised to the sky. As it slowly descended, a huge spear shadow appeared in the dark sky and slashed down forcefully.

However, no matter how astonishing his attack was, when he landed on the edge of a small mountain and met with thin black gas, he disappeared in an instant like before.

This scene caused the attacker's face to turn pale. He hurriedly opened the distance and did not have a genius attitude anymore.

Seeing the person with the golden bell using the Spirit Technique, he slowly moved the ground under his feet closer and tried to land. However, as soon as he approached, he immediately shouted in fear. However, he seems to be quite lucky. He continued flying among the many floating lands and finally escaped from the calamity.

However, when everyone's gazes were on him, they were shocked to see that his entire right arm had disappeared. The wound was extremely smooth, as if it had been cut by a knife.

This scene caused everyone's scalps to numb. They only felt that the strange danger ahead was becoming more and more terrifying.
