1367: Chapter 329_2 1367: Chapter 329_2 As the ground around him suddenly erupted, chunks of soil soared into the air, burying him completely.
“Perfect!”
Xiang Ziyu glanced at his master’s ‘corpse,’ now fully buried, then swiftly descended into the massive burial ground below.
Cao Zhen, now entirely covered by dirt, found it incredibly difficult to breathe.
He even began to suspect that before anyone could discover him, he might suffocate to death under the soil.
Face down and completely buried, he was unable to see what was happening outside.
All he could hear were the sounds of sothing cutting through the air and the startled exclamations of the surrounding cultivators.
“This…
the entire mountain has utterly exploded!”
“The burial ground!
This whole area is the Praying Heaven Sect Hierarch’s burial ground!”
“Quick, enter the burial ground!
That’s the tomb of a True Immortal!”
Hearing the voices of the crowd above, Cao Zhen’s heart surged with anticipation.
Previously, he had never imagined that the Praying Heaven Sect Hierarch could be a True Immortal.
Among those he knew, the Golden Light Sage was a True Immortal.
Moreover, when Bi Yue had introduced Mandarin Duck Island to him, it was explicitly noted that the island’s founders were a pair of Daoist companions who were True Immortals.
A True Immortal—such an existence was terrifying beyond asure, standing above the Immortality Regainnt Realm!
In the Eastern Wasteland, there might not even be a single cultivator in the Immortality Regainnt Realm.
If there were, it would only be the Grand Preceptor alone.
He had always heard others say that the Praying Heaven Sect had fallen into decline, that it was exceedingly weak.
He himself thought so as well.
Yet it turned out the sect harbored a True Immortal-level figure!
The burial ground of a True Immortal—what kind of heaven-defying treasures could it contain?!
But in his current state, he had no ans of vying for the treasures.
He could only hope that Xiang Ziyu would successfully seize them.
Yet even if Xiang Ziyu obtained the treasures, he would face unimaginable danger afterward.
After all, this was the burial ground of a Guardian Immortal.
If others saw Xiang Ziyu erging from it, how could they not attack him?
Before long, he heard exclamations from outside!
“It’s Xiang Ziyu!
He’s emptied the burial ground of the Praying Heaven Sect Hierarch!”
“Quick!
Don’t let him escape!”
The mont the experts who had just entered the burial ground saw a figure preparing to leave with all the treasures inside, they imdiately took action.
There was no need for verbal confirmation.
Everyone tacitly unleashed their Divine Skills, launching attacks at Xiang Ziyu.
When the Praying Heaven Sect Hierarch burst forth, the Formation within the burial ground had been nearly destroyed.
Those who had been able to enter first were mostly individuals at the peak of the Golden Core Period, or those near that level.
The Divine Skills they unleashed were shockingly powerful.
In an instant, the entire burial ground erupted in chaos, sending Xiang Ziyu flying out from the ruins.
Even though his physical body and mana had both reached the peak of the Golden Core Period, his body was now a mangled, bloodied ss.
Hovering mid-air, he showed no intention of fleeing.
Glaring arrogantly at the cultivators who had just attacked him, he said, “Escape?
I, Xiang Ziyu, am the protagonist.
I don’t know the aning of ‘escape.’ If it’s a fight you want, then co at .”
As he spoke, a terrifying fighting spirit erupted from his back, soaring into the sky.
The aura of this fighting intent seed almost tangible.
All around, the onlookers were montarily stunned by his fighting spirit.
Was this man insane?
Indeed, he was imnsely strong, his physical body and mana having reached the absolute peak of the Golden Core Period.
None in the Eastern Province could rival his level; Xiang Ziyu was undoubtedly the number one cultivator of the region.
But even so, he was a man carrying treasures for which others would kill.
This was the burial ground of a True Immortal.
There was no way anyone would allow him to walk away with the spoils unchallenged.
Even if he were invincible on his own, under the combined assault of everyone present, he would perish.
Yet, he chose battle over escape!
“Everyone, together!
Kill him first!” Perhaps the earlier high death tolls had thinned out the peak Golden Core cultivators.
Of them, only three remained on the mountainside alongside Xiang Ziyu.
From these three, the closest female cultivator coldly spoke, her mana surging furiously as she prepared to make a move.
At that mont, a voice rang out from behind, “Whoever dares strike will beco an enemy of the Cloud Reaching Sect!
Elder Xiang is a mber of our sect!”
Elder Blue arrived with reinforcents from the Cloud Reaching Sect after dividing the spoils from their earlier pursuit of the treasure hoards.
As she observed Xiang Ziyu, who showed not the slightest trace of fear even when surrounded by enemies, a glimr of admiration flashed through her eyes.
Truly, this was soone worthy of ascending the Rainbow Stairs of their Cloud Reaching Sect.
This kind of bravery was extraordinary.
Not even the temporary Sect Hierarch of the Cloud Reaching Sect could compare!
Moreover, she beca even more certain now—Xiang Ziyu was a man of great destiny.
Many had reached the peak of the Golden Core Period.
Xiang Ziyu’s own master, Cao Zhen, had attained the Nine Abnormal Phenonon Golden Pills and reached the sa peak.
Cao Zhen had joined the Cloud Reaching Sect once too, but he never dared challenge the Transcending Array.
Why was it that among all the Golden Core peak cultivators, only Xiang Ziyu had ascended the Rainbow Stairs and comprehended the Cloud Reaching Sect’s grand truths?
Because Xiang Ziyu was a man of great destiny.
Moreover, when so many surrounded the Praying Heaven Sect, its temporary hierarch, the Swallowing Heaven Demon, had fled with a treasure hoard’s worth of resources.
And who else but Xiang Ziyu ultimately captured the Swallowing Heaven Demon and obtained those resources?
And now, it was Xiang Ziyu who had acquired the treasures within the burial ground of the Praying Heaven Sect Hierarch.
