Invincible Kungfu Healer-Chapter 1024 - Terror

Chapter 1024: Terror

The cultivators who resided in a such a large Middle Age ruin were definitely incredible. They would at least have been at the Divine Illusionary Realm. They could even have been Path Integration Realm beings.

Hence, after the members of the Petrification Cult discovered this place, they became extremely excited. Once they break through all of the defensive stratagems here, they could head straight into the ruins and find all the treasures within it. The ancient martial art practitioners of the Ming Palace were not as important right now. The members of the Petrification Cult could just kill them when they came across them and be done with the issue.

“Old Chen, with your current rate of progress, you should be able to completely destroy this outer prohibition in half a day’s time. Let us rest for a while and recover our spiritual energy before continuing. After all, this is a Middle Age ruin. We do not know if there are still other hidden dangers,” the Petrification Cult elder told Old Xu said cautiously.

Although the palace’s stratagem had become extremely fragile due to decay over time, they did not dare to be too careless because of their respect for the Middle Age high ranking cultivators.

“We can do so. Half a day makes no difference. By then, Elder Shao should probably have dealt with that woman. It would be safer to have him here.”

Old Chen nodded in agreement. He was not anxious since they were only left with the final step. Haste makes waste. For an old fellow that had trained for a few hundred years, he understood that the more critical the moment was, the more cautious they had to be.

“It is strange. That woman is only at the Primordial Soul Realm and she can actually battle with Elder Shao for so long. It is practically unbelievable. It has already been four days by now and Elder Shao still hasn’t finished off the woman. We also do not know how the battle is playing out now,” Old Xu said solemnly as he frowned.

They initially thought that this visit to the main space would be smooth sailing throughout. They could easily turn a mere ancient martial art sect to dust with a wave of their hands. However, in reality, they had faced multiple obstacles. Not only did the members of the Ming Palace retreat beforehand, but the members of the Petrification Cult also encountered a rather frightening woman.

That woman had the same Primordial Soul Realm level of cultivation that they had. However, her combat strength was astonishing. She actually managed to hold off Elder Shao. The battle between the two of them nearly destroyed half of the Tan Zi Beast Lair.

Old Xu could not seem to figure out how the main space had such an expert. Could it be that the woman was also a person from the Peng Lai Immortal Realm?

“That woman is frightening. From what I noticed, her level of cultivation is merely at great attainment in the Primordial Soul Realm,” Old Chen lamented. “However, when she attacks, her might is comparable to the Tide Changing Realm. Elder Shao has broken through to the Tide Changing Realm for more than two hundred years. Although he is still at the initial stage of the Tide Changing Realm, he is more powerful than cultivators who had just broken through to the beginning stage of Tide Changing Realm. Yet, he still can’t win against that woman when battling against her.”

Fortunately, Elder Shao could hold that woman off. Otherwise, the woman would probably have killed them in one blow.

“However, that woman is no match for Elder Shao. She can only hold off Elder Shao for at most a few days. Even if she takes off her gloves, she will certainly perish at the hands of Elder Shao. How can a Primordial Soul Realm cultivator possibly compare to a Tide Changing Realm cultivator? As time goes on, her disadvantageous position will surely become more and more obvious.”

Although the appearance of this frightening woman had been out of their expectations, the members of the Petrification Cult were clearly not extremely concerned. In terms of combat power, they were still much stronger.

“That brat Mo Wen is still nowhere to be found. As expected, he is heartless. He merely stands by as the Ming Palace gets eradicated.”

Old Xu shook his head. They fought with the Ming Palace with the aim of forcing Mo Wen to appear. However, even after they had stirred up so much trouble, Mo Wen remained hidden.

“Humph! Can he avoid us merely by hiding? We will eventually find Mo Wen. When the time comes, he will surely die.” Old Chen laughed sinisterly. If Mo Wen still did not appear after they eradicate the Ming Palace, then they would search the entire main space inch by inch. Where could Mo Wen possibly hide then?

The main space was not as vast as the Peng Lai Immortal Realm. It was only so big. It would not take long for a few of them — cultivators who were at or above the Primordial Soul Realm — to blanket search the entire space.

Just as the two Petrification Cult elders were chatting as they rested, a beam of flowing light flew rapidly toward them from afar. From a distance, it seemed to be in hysteria.

“What is going on? Isn’t that Old Wang? Why did he come over here? Wasn’t he guarding the deep abyss?” The two Petrification Cult elders were somewhat puzzled as the beam of flowing light hurriedly flew toward them.

The two Petrification Cult elders clearly recognized the beam of flowing light. Old Wang was one of the three Primordial Soul Realm cultivators from their Petrification Cult who had come to the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. His level of cultivation was also at the later stage of the Primordial Soul Realm.

However, Old Wang’s mission was to stand guard beside the entrance of the deep abyss and prevent the members of the Ming Palace from escaping. His job was to catch anyone who made it past him at any time.

Why had Old Wang come here without rhyme or reason? He was not needed here. Could it be that he knew the palace’s prohibitions were about to be broken through and was afraid that they would hoard the treasures for themselves? Did he come over to keep an eye on them?

A Primordial Soul Realm cultivator’s speed was rather astonishing. After a beam of flowing light flashed past the horizon, a person suddenly appeared before the palace. It was the black-robed elder that was guarding the deep abyss.

“Old Wang, why did you come here?” Old Chen scowled. They were unsatisfied with the behavior of the black-robed elder. This was clearly a display of distrust from the black-robed elder towards them. Right now, they were still attacking the defenses and there was no one on guard outside. After they break through and the members of the Ming Palace flee in all directions, they would not be able to capture all the people at once. It was highly likely that some of the members would slip past them.

“Old Wang, Elder Shao ordered you to stand guard outside. For you to come over on your own accord is a dereliction of duty.” Old Xu also looked purposefully at Old Wang.

“Both of you old things, stop trying to stir up internal strife. Something terrible has happened,” the black-robed elder shouted with an unpleasant expression as soon as he drew near. One could still see the shock on his face. The black-robed elder could sense that the youth was very terrifying; even Elder Shao might not be a match for him.

“Something terrible has happened? What major incident could possibly happen in this tiny Green Ancient Mystery Dimension? Old Wang, can’t you find a better excuse for yourself?” Old Chen sneered. Obviously, he viewed Old Wang’s words as an excuse for Old Wang to go over to them without permission.

“What was so terrible? Why don’t you tell us about it in detail?” Old Xu said nonchalantly. Clearly, he was also not convinced by Old Wang.

“A youth has ventured into the beast lair. His level of cultivation is quite alarming. I speculate that his level of cultivation is at least at the Tide Changing Realm.” The black-robed elder ignored their teasing. He knew that he was not a match for the youth for sure. Even if the three of them joined forces, they would be far from a match for the youth.

The purpose of Old Wang dashing here was to check whether Elder Shao had returned. Perhaps only Elder Shao could stop the terrifying youth.

“A youth at the Tide Changing Realm! You are joking, right?”

When Old Xu and Old Chen heard Old Wang’s report, they jumped to their feet while staring intently at Old Wang. They wanted to determine, based on his eyes, whether he was lying. Even in the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, a Tide Changing Realm cultivator was a high ranking being. It was highly unlikely for such a strong practitioner to pop up in this tiny and barren mystery dimension.

Needless to say, both of them realized that should Old Wang be speaking the truth, their current situation was dire. A Tide Changing Realm cultivator was sufficient to turn the tables around. If the youth was a foe and not a friend, even Elder Shao may not be able to help out much. Instead, the roles of both parties might be reversed; they might become the prey who needed to run with their tails between their legs.

After all, there was still a horrifying woman among the members of the Ming Palace. Should the woman and the youth join forces, they would surely not be able to withstand their attacks.

“What benefit would I get from deceiving you? I can sense that he is coming. Where is Elder Shao?” The black-robed elder asked with an anguished voice as he kept turning and looking behind him.

Initially, the black-robed elder intended to elude the youth by hiding in this dimension. However, he kept sensing that someone was staring at him from behind; the feeling did not go away even after he had escaped into this tiny place. Usually, such a situation only occurs when a high ranked cultivator investigates a low ranked cultivator. Should the deified soul of a Tide Changing Realm cultivator lock onto a person, not only was the person unable to escape, he might not even know that he had been targeted. The person would only vaguely sense some irregularity.

Hence, this was why the black-robed elder was so certain that the youth was at least at the Tide Changing Realm. If the youth was at the Primordial Soul Realm, his deified soul wouldn’t be as mysterious.

“Why did the youth attack you? Did you provoke him?” Old Xu asked with a frown. If the youth was a passer-by who happened to appear in the place, it was highly unlikely for him to attack Old Wang right away. Could it be that the youth came here for the Ming Palace?

“This…”

Old Wang smiled wryly, slightly embarrassed. Originally, he thought that the two youths were just average ancient martial art practitioners, so he showed off his skills. To his surprise, he had actually encountered strong foes. Right now, he had offended the youths. Even if the youths were really passers-by, they were currently at odds with the black-robed elder.

Seeing this, Old Xu and Old Chen immediately understood what had transpired. They were familiar with each other’s personalities. In the main space, they were like wolves going to a flock of sheep. They would act more lawlessly than usual.

“By the way, who was that youth? What did he look like?” Old Chen suddenly realized something. His expression changed drastically.

His mind suddenly thought of a particular person when they were mentioning a rather young youth that happened to appear in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. However, even though that person’s level of cultivation was not low, it was not as terrifying as Old Wang had described.

Upon hearing this, Old Xu and Old Wang also abruptly thought of something. Their expressions immediately changed drastically.

Old Wang’s mien, particularly, turned horrified and astonished. Prior to this, before directly sending a palm strike toward the youth, Old Wang had not even taken a look at his appearance. After that, although he had glanced at the youth, in his haste to escape for his life, he had not thought much about it.

Now that Old Chen had reminded him, the black-robed elder immediately believed that this youth seemed somewhat familiar. The more he thought about it, the more he drew in cold breaths.

“Mo Wen! That person is Mo Wen. I am certain that it is him. I have seen his portrait before.”

The black-robed elder’s sharp voice was filled with terror. That youth was actually Mo Wen whom they had been seeking all this while. The most critical point was that Mo Wen’s level of cultivation was actually shockingly high. It had already reached a level that frightened even Old Wang.

“Is that person really Mo Wen? How is it possible? His level of cultivation should not be that high. A year ago, Mo Wen had just mysteriously escaped from Xue Chu. After only a year, how could Mo Wen possibly have become a Tide Changing Realm strong practitioner?”

Even Old Chen and Old Xu did not dare believe it. They had considered that train of thought before this; after all, there were a few youth strong practitioners that could come to the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. However, they denied it right after. It was impossible for Mo Wen’s level of cultivation to be at the Tide Changing Realm.
