Rumble!
The ground shook once again. An incomparably vigorous Ley Vein Energy ripple spread from underground. Soon after, a powerful black light shot up from the middle into the sky. It was like a pitch-black heavenly pillar that propped up the sky.
"The Earthwave is about to end." Everyone on the surface straightened their backs, and their bodies became even straighter. Their eyes shone brightly as they stared at the pillar of black light without blinking.
The Earthwave was about to end, which meant that everyone who had entered the underground world was about to come out.
Immediately, following the pillar of black light that shot up into the sky, one figure after another rushed out of the ground and left the pillar of light. They flew through the air, and after seeing their surroundings clearly, they quickly flew back to their own camps.
Chen Zong also rushed out of the ground along with the pillar of black light. When he saw where Elder Tang Yaohe and the others were, he extended his body and flew over like an eagle in the sky, landing in front of Elder Tang Yaohe and the others.
Elder Tang Yaohe and the others all looked at Chen Zong. Their shining eyes were as sharp as the edge of a sword, causing Chen Zong's body to tense up.
However, Chen Zong's aura was completely restrained, so it was difficult to see his cultivation level.
"Chen Zong, your cultivation level …" Elder Tang Yaohe couldn't help but ask curiously and expectantly.
"Earth spirit," Chen Zong replied with a sound transmission.
Elder Tang Yaohe's body suddenly trembled, and a trace of ecstasy and shock flashed across his face.
Before entering, Chen Zong's cultivation level was only at the peak of the ninth level of the Extreme Mortal Realm. Now, he had actually reached the Earth Spirit Realm. Those who hadn't reached this stage wouldn't know how difficult it was.
It seemed that there was only a fine line between the peak of the ninth level of the Extreme Mortal Realm and the Earth Spirit Realm, but one had to go through the pseudo-Earth Spirit Realm. Every process required a large amount of ley line energy. Breaking through was easier said than done.
Without batting an eyelid, Elder Tang Yaohe protected Chen Zong. The other Profound Sky Realm warriors immediately understood what was going on. They moved slightly to protect Chen Zong behind them.
More and more people followed the black light to the surface. In the end, when the black light returned to the ground, the hole that led to the underground was sealed. Even a Titled Monarch would not be able to break through it.
When they entered, there were a total of 39 people, but now, only 19 people left alive.
Five of the Skyscraper Association's nine members were left. Four of the Extreme Heaven Association's seven members were left. As for the three great sword clans, the Sky Pole Sword Sect, and the Boundless Sword Sect, they each had two members.
This kind of loss could be said to be heavy.
However, those who had survived had their cultivation bases greatly improved, and they had also obtained earthvein stones. It was quite a bountiful harvest.
"Elder Tang, Chen Zong stole my opportunity," Fang Ziye, who was still alive, said directly to Elder Tang Yaohe.
Immediately, all eyes fell on Chen Zong's face.
Stealing other people's opportunities was quite normal, but when it was said out loud, it did not sound so good. Especially when it was said to be stealing a companion's opportunity, it was even more disdainful.
"You and I found the earthvein spring at the same time. You were not as strong as me, so you retreated. How could you say you stole it?" Chen Zong said calmly without the slightest hint of panic.
Fang Ziye's face changed, faintly turning green, because what Chen Zong said was true.
Seeing Chen Zong's and Fang Ziye's faces, Elder Tang Yaohe and the others could see who was telling the truth. Immediately, he looked at Fang Ziye with an unhappy expression and said, "Alright, don't mention this again."
Chen Zong naturally wouldn't hold onto this matter and not let it go, as that would make him seem narrow-minded. Even though Fang Ziye was extremely furious in his heart when he received the warning, he didn't dare mention it again. He only remembered Chen Zong in his heart, and as long as he had the chance in the future, he might take revenge.
A trace of hatred flashed in Fang Ziye's eyes, but it was also noticed by Chen Zong. Chen Zong's expression did not change, as if he did not notice it at all. He had already decided that if Fang Ziye really did not know what was good for him and wanted to take revenge, only death would await him.
"Let's go." Elder Tang Yaohe said and immediately released an air-transportation spirit tool, wanting everyone to enter it and leave this place.
After all, the earthvein tide had already ended, and everyone had gained something. The most important thing now was to leave this place and return to discuss the details of this trip.
Suddenly, a cold murderous intent bombarded them like a heavenly waterfall, causing everyone's expression to change greatly.
A tyrannical blood-red blade light cut through the sky, carrying an extreme murderous intent as it slashed towards the people of the Extreme Heaven Association. This blade light made the world lose its color, and the terrifying pressure of the blade light even left a long blade mark on the hard ground.
Under the pressure of this blade light, Chen Zong and the others felt as if the end of the world had arrived. Death was imminent, and the terrifying pressure made them unable to move. It was as if the sky and the earth were pressing down on them at the same time, turning into a giant blade that was about to smash them into pieces.
Elder Tang Yaohe and the other Profound Heaven experts' expressions also changed greatly, and they were extremely shocked.
He had made his move!
The Maniac had really made his move.
The reason why Elder Tang Yaohe was in such a hurry to leave was that he was worried that the Skyscraper Association's Maniac would make his move, but he did not expect that he would still be one step too late.
"You guys go first." Elder Tang Yaohe unleashed a tyrannical aura with the power of the earth and sky veins. He had decided to fight the Maniac alone to buy time for the others of the Extreme Heaven Association to leave this place.
The other Profound Heaven experts also understood this, and immediately unleashed their full strength, rushing into the white cloud with Chen Zong and the others. They immediately activated the air-transportation spirit tool and took off.
"Break!"
Elder Tang Yaohe's beard bristled with anger. His entire body's power erupted in an instant, turning into a majestic sword light that pierced through the air and blasted towards the terrifying blood-red blade light.
In the Bright Sword Continent, swordsmanship was the norm. However, not everyone practiced swordsmanship. For example, Kuang Gui did not practice swordsmanship. Instead, he practiced the blade. That was because he had obtained a powerful blade inheritance outside the Bright Sword Continent. That blade inheritance had given him the name Kuang Gui.
To a certain extent, Fei Mingyu and the Ghost Blade had also been influenced by the Maniac to practice the blade.
In fact, Fei Mingyu was actually the Maniac's disciple.
Fei Mingyu had not come out, so naturally, he had died inside. This enraged the Maniac, and was one of the reasons why he had attacked. The other reason was naturally to weaken the Extreme Heaven Association's strength. It would be best if he could kill all of them and take away all the earth vein stones they had obtained from the earth vein tide.
Maniac would never threaten the other party to hand over the stones. If he wanted them, he would just kill them and take them away.
With a boom, Elder Tang Yaohe's sword was instantly shattered by the blood-red blade light. The blood-red blade light was like a hot knife through butter as it ruthlessly slashed towards Elder Tang Yaohe with a violent killing intent.
Then, the second blood-red blade light pierced through the air and slashed at the white cloud air-transportation spirit tool. The protective force of the white cloud air-transportation spirit tool was shaken and almost collapsed.
Chen Zong and the others in the white cloud's air-transportation spiritual tool were also swaying. They looked down through the air-transportation spiritual tool, but they could not see anyone. They could only see a blood-red saber light tearing through the sky and shattering a sword light. After that, the saber light continued onward with irresistible force.
Inside the air-transportation spirit tool, the Profound Heaven Stage experts of the Extreme Heaven Association were grief-stricken. They knew very well that Elder Tang Yaohe was no match for the Maniac, but he had stayed behind to fight the Maniac so that they could escape safely.
The air-transportation spirit artifact flew higher and higher, faster and faster. Chen Zong and the others could only vaguely see the fierce battle below. The blood-red saber light and the purple sword light collided again and again, and the purple sword light was shattered every time. It was not a match at all.
"Maniac, even if this old man dies, I'll take you down with me!" Elder Tang Yaohe's roar suddenly resounded through the sky like a clap of thunder.
With a boom, the purple light suddenly exploded like a blooming purple lotus, covering a radius of several thousand meters. Everything in its path was destroyed by the blooming purple sword light and turned into powder.
The overbearing and violent blood-red blade light was also shattered in an instant.
This scene was like a brand in the hearts of Chen Zong and the others. They couldn't help but feel sorrowful, and their eyes were sore.
They all knew that Elder Tang Yaohe was dead.
They only hoped that Maniac would die as well.
The blooming purple lotus was the last brilliance of Elder Tang Yaohe's life. Everyone stared with wide eyes. When the purple light dissipated, they saw a blood-red flame burning fiercely. It was Maniac.
"He didn't die!" Inside the white cloud air-transportation spirit tool, the Profound Sky Realm experts saw it more clearly. They were shocked, and slowly, with hatred. They unconsciously clenched their fists, wishing that they could rush down and kill Maniac.
However, no one moved, because they all knew that their strength was too weak compared to Maniac's. If they rushed down, not only would they not be able to kill Maniac, but they would also be killed by Maniac.
"Remember, one day, when you have enough strength, you must kill that Maniac and avenge Elder Tang Yaohe," a Profound Sky Realm expert said with hatred.
Chen Zong didn't answer, but clenched his fists. A trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes, and then he buried it deep.
Maniac!
Chen Zong immediately remembered this name, like a brand, and engraved it with killing intent.
Speaking of which, Elder Tang Yaohe didn't have much of a relationship with him. He had only led them here. Who would have thought that in the end, he would sacrifice his life in order to protect them so that they could escape safely.
A Profound Sky Realm expert at the late stage of the Profound Sky Realm must have gone through a lot of hardships, and spent a lot of time and energy to become famous. He was an elder of the Extreme Sky Association, with a high status and great power. He was also very powerful. However, he sacrificed his own life for them, which touched Chen Zong a lot, and made Chen Zong feel very grateful.
The favor of saving one's life was greater than the sky.
"Elder Tang, in the future, I will kill Maniac to pay tribute to you," Chen Zong said secretly, making a vow.
He would definitely kill Maniac!
On the ground, Maniac, who was covered in blood-red flames, raised his head and gazed at the sky, staring at the flying spiritual tool that had already become a dot. He only felt a vague killing intent surrounding him. It was very weak, but it made Maniac's hair stand on end, as if there was someone in that flying spiritual tool who could threaten him.
Then, Maniac grinned and suddenly stomped on the ground. With a boom, the ground shook, and under the terrifying impact, it collapsed instantly. Another powerful impact made Maniac's body soar into the sky, chasing after the white cloud flying spiritual tool at an astonishing speed.
