As Yang Chen went into seclusion, a few years passed slowly. Then, as if everything was going according to Yang Chen's schedule, the trial ground began to change drastically without any warning.
All the changes happened without any warning. It happened so suddenly that no one had time to prepare for it.
In the huge trial ground, a mysterious door seemed to have been opened all of a sudden. Then, crazy Demonic Beasts appeared all over the mountains and plains.
These Demonic Beasts that suddenly appeared began to attack the cultivators around them in a frenzy. The strength of the Demonic Beasts was beyond the imagination of the cultivators in the trial ground. In just a moment, tens of thousands of cultivators were killed.
With Yang Chen's warning, all the Sect had set up arrangements in the trial ground. Not only did they make all the disciples stay away from the center of the trial ground, but they only trained near the entrances and exits of their respective Sect. They also withdrew all the low-level Human Immortal disciples, leaving only the experts above the Earthly Immortal Intermediate Stage.
Originally, all the Sect thought that such arrangements were foolproof. Even if there was a sudden change, these disciples, who were at the Earthly Immortal or Heaven Immortal level, would be able to react in time and save their lives. Moreover, for the safety of the Sect's area, the Sect also needed to arrange some disciples in this area.
This little bit of arrogance had ruined the disciples who were training in the trial ground. Almost none of the Demonic Beasts that appeared out of nowhere were below the Xuan Immortal level. Apart from a few Xuan Immortal level Supreme experts who survived, the rest of the disciples in the trial ground were all killed in the Sect.
In less than 30 minutes after the outbreak of the Devil Tribulation, the Sect had lost more than 10,000 Earthly Immortal and Heaven Immortal disciples. On average, each Sect had lost hundreds of disciples.
Finally, near the entrances and exits that the major sects were responsible for, the major sects had arranged a powerful array formation, which was able to withstand the reckless attacks of these crazy demon beasts. However, as more and more Demonic Beasts rushed out of the core of the trial ground, these formations began to be in danger.
Almost all the higher-ups of the Sect began to regret when they heard the news. Yang Chen had already warned everyone, and all the Sect clearly knew that the Demonic Beasts in the core of the trial ground were very powerful. However, they did not take the warning to heart and only made some targeted arrangements, thinking that it was foolproof, which led to this tragedy.
If they had known this would happen, they would have withdrawn the Earthly Immortal and Heaven Immortal disciples, leaving only the Xuan Immortal experts. At least, they could escape with the protection of the formations. Unlike now, every sect had lost hundreds of Earth Immortal and Heavenly Immortal disciples. One must know that these disciples were all elites. Even a big sect would feel the pinch!
However, relatively speaking, the sects that really took Yang Chen's warning very seriously, such as the Yin-Yang Demon Sect, Limitless Demon Sect, Five Elements Sect, Green Jade Immortal Island, Blue Cloud Sect, their losses were relatively not very big. Although a few Heavenly Immortal disciples were sacrificed, most of the elite disciples in the trial grounds managed to survive.
On the other hand, the Black Heaven Sect, which Yang Chen had specifically reminded them of, had suffered the most losses out of all the Sect. Of the two Heaven Immortal level core higher-ups, one had perished, and the other had been seriously injured and was still in a coma. Even after using all kinds of elixirs, he could only barely keep his life. Who knew how long it would take for him to fully recover. This was not like Yang Chen, who only needed to cultivate his destroyed cultivation again.
If the Core Elders were already in such a state, then the disciples in charge of monitoring the changes in the trial grounds were even worse off. The two Core Elders had led over a thousand elite experts, but in the end, less than two hundred people had managed to escape. Among the losses suffered by the major Sect in the past hundred years, aside from the thousands of elite disciples of the Five Elements Sect who were executed, the Mysterious Heaven Sect suffered the greatest loss this time.
Needless to say, this must have been arranged by Elder Li and Sect Master Wang. After listening to Yang Chen's words, Elder Li rushed back to the Sect with injuries. While tracking down the murderer, he also truthfully reported Yang Chen's warning to Sect Master Wang. After Sect Master Wang, Hall Master Liu, and Elder Li had a secret discussion, the two Core Elders personally led the team to monitor the situation in the trial grounds.
To the outside world, the Mysterious Heaven Sect attached great importance to it, but when the news came back to the Mysterious Heaven Sect, Sect Master Wang didn't have much pain or regret in his heart, except for the sadness on his face.
As for Elder Li, he was once again glad that he had a good disciple. If it weren't for his thoughtful reminder, the one who would have died was likely to be him, who thought that he could grab the first merit. Now, one of the Core Elders of the two hostile factions was dead and the other was crippled. The strength of the two Sect would soon be absorbed by Sect Master Wang, Hall Master Liu, and Elder Li.
This was completely the fault of the Zhao Family. Who could tell that this was an organized and planned elimination of dissidents? It was a flawless situation. They achieved their goal and purified the team. No one could point out any problems. Was there a better arrangement than this?
After suffering such a huge loss, the major Sect finally took Yang Chen's warning seriously. However, now that the tragedy had happened, it was too late for regrets. Moreover, Yang Chen had already announced that he would go into closed-door cultivation a few years ago. It was impossible to find Yang Chen, and even if they did find him, there was no way to reason with him. It was better to maintain the situation first.
Fortunately, outside the trial grounds, every Sect had also set up a protective formation to be on the safe side. When the formation inside the trial grounds was broken by the surging beasts, the disciples inside still had the opportunity to calmly retreat to the outside of the trial grounds.
Then, something that shocked everyone began to happen. The wave-like beasts began to attack the formation at the edge of the trial grounds, which was the oldest formation that surrounded the trial grounds.
This formation had existed for tens of thousands of years and had always been extremely strong. Not a single beast had ever been able to break out. However, in the face of the flood of demonic beasts this time, the formation only lasted for less than two months before it shattered with a loud bang.
The disciples of the major Sect who were monitoring outside were dumbfounded. After the shock, they finally came to their senses and began to retreat gradually with the help of the formation that had been prepared.
The surging beasts could no longer be resisted by humans. The smartest thing to do was to stay far away from them. The only thing that everyone was glad about was that they had received Yang Chen's warning in advance and had set up a sufficient formation in advance to allow them to retreat to a safe place. That was all.
At this point, the beasts were no longer restrained and began to rush in all directions. The Devil Tribulation of the Spiritual Realm finally began to affect more Sect and a wider area.
