Towards the Path of Heaven

Chapter 295

However, what rekindled everyone's hope was that not everyone returned in such a miserable state. The genius with the spirit rune flag above his head was enveloped by the light. When he approached the beach, he did not disappear and could walk on the beach.

This was undoubtedly an exhilarating sight for everyone. Moreover, they could easily relate that perhaps only spirit runes could withstand the black aura!

Once they thought about this, how could these geniuses hesitate? Immediately he activated his own spirit rune. Various spirit runes appeared in the sky and enveloped its owner.

Under the shade of spirit runes, everyone started trying to climb onto the beach. Indeed, under the shade of spirit runes, the same situation as before did not happen again. Everyone can walk safely.

However, the price to pay for walking safely was simply too great. All geniuses could clearly sense that spirit runes were indeed capable of withstanding the mysterious power that enveloped the small mountain. However, the consumption is huge.

Those who were still on the outskirts could also clearly see that the spirits that passed over the heads of the prodigies who had climbed the small mountain were dimming rapidly. In the end, they could no longer hold on and could only turn to other spirit runes to prop themselves up.

In this way, it was clear that they had to rely on the number of spirit runes they had condensed to support themselves on the small mountain. However, it seemed that the quality of the spirit runes also had a certain effect. Even if climbing a small mountain at the same time, the spirit flowing over their heads would not be completely dim at the same time.

After roughly comprehending this point, the genius who had climbed a small mountain did not hesitate at all. He gritted his teeth and hurriedly headed for the nearby natural treasure.

However, even with the protection of spirit runes, being able to walk normally on a small mountain was the limit. Therefore, even though the natural treasures looked right in front, it was extremely difficult to obtain them. Moreover, having to do so before the power of their spirit runes ran out!

"Ac …!"

Finally, a painful scream suddenly sounded. The spirit rune above one of the genius heads suddenly went out. In fact, he wanted to return before the spirit rune went out, but he was still one step late.

The moment the scream sounded, the genius head had lost the protection of the spirit runes. The genius continued to struggle hard. Although there was nothing around him, he seemed to be suffering from something.

In the end, the genius spun around for a bit and died completely with his eyes wide open. After the genius died, his bones began to decay at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, wisps of black gas began to seep out from his body, slowly gathering towards the small mountain shore.

By the time the last wisp of black Qi had come out, the corpse of the genius had turned into a pile of dust. If one did not witness it with one's own eyes, most likely no one would know that this ordinary-looking pile of dust was actually the corpse of a genius.

"Ac …!"

Another roar of pain sounded. It was a similar genius, who had also fainted on the street.

He's not the only one. More people are collapsing. It was all because the spirit runes on top of their heads had dimmed, and no other spirit runes could replace them.

After falling and dying, they were like the first geniuses. Black Qi seeped out from their corpses and merged with the thin black Qi on the shore. Then, it completely turned into dust.

Among them, there were even cultivators who had taken the treasures of Heaven and Earth and immediately returned. However, his spirit runes were unable to support his return journey and disappeared first.

This scene once again made the remaining people feel goosebumps. They originally thought that they had found a way to harvest the treasures of Heaven and Earth. Who knew that there was a great danger hidden within it?

Just now, only a few people felt something was amiss and closest to the beach were lucky enough to return. Otherwise, they would be completely annihilated.

Then again there was complete silence.

In their eyes, this was not an opportunity, but a land of death. Although the treasures of Heaven and Earth were good, they still had to live to enjoy them.

However, there were also some people who were unwilling to go and stay near that small mountain. Among them was Yan Chutian.

Yan Chutian was unwilling to give up so easily. There was a Lotus Dao on the small mountain, and this was probably the only Lotus Dao in the entire mortal world. He can't just give up.

Moreover, it was not impossible for him to climb this small mountain safely and make it back!

After all, he had already condensed four spirit runes. Among all the people who had just come ashore, at most, they were condensing three spirit runes. Moreover, Yan Chutian was very confident in the quality of the spirit runes he had solidified. Especially the Dragon Runes, which were considered taboo amongst the many spirit runes!

However, the only thing that made Yan Chutian suspicious was that the Lotus Dao was not near the shore, but rather in a more remote location.

However, Yan Chutian was not a wishy-washy person. Since he could give it a try, he would never give up!

Hence, when some geniuses once again controlled the land and approached the small mountain shore, Yan Chutian was among them.

Currently, the remaining geniuses who were still watching watched watched watched the actions of these people. Of course, after a glance, no one looked at Yan Chutian. Instead, it fell on the remaining geniuses. If anything, it's just sarcasm and ridicule.

It was because the geniuses watching this were all from first-rate troops. Among them, only Yan Chutian, a disciple of the second-rate army, was left.

Therefore, in their opinion, how could Yan Chutian possibly have any hope of obtaining the heavenly treasures and succeeding in returning? In their eyes, Yan Chutian was a fool who had been blinded by greed. Otherwise, why would he seek death like this?

"It looks like it's a student of the second-rate army. Even such a person dared to try to come ashore?"

"Heh .. I know him. His name was Yan Chu, and he shone brightly in the second-rate army. However, I did not expect him to be so arrogant. Did he think that he could do well in the first-rate army just because he was like a fish in the water in the second-rate army?"

"He does not know the magnitude of the heavens and the earth. This was a test of the quality and quantity of spirit runes that a cultivator could solidify. Judging from his aura, he was at most at the fifth level. How many spirit runes could he condense?"

"I don't know. I don't know the details. However, to be able to shine brightly in a second-rate army, there must be at least three spirit inscriptions."

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe he's got some tricks and his foundation's a mess."

Many mocking voices sounded. Although they did not say it explicitly, the revealed meaning was that they were all mocking Yan Chutian for exaggerating himself.

Then, they did not look towards Yan Chutian anymore. Instead, they continued to look at the other geniuses. Perhaps they could gain experience from these geniuses. With so many heavenly treasures before them, they really did not want to let go!

Bang…!

Eventually, pieces of land hit the shore one by one. However, there is one exception. It was Yan Chutian. He was unwilling to give up the land where he set up the three formations.

Therefore, he stopped at the outskirts and continued to borrow power from another plot of land. Finally, he jumped to the edge of a small mountain.
