Everyone had set up the formation, and it did serve some defensive purposes. However, the formation wasn't omnipotent, especially in the face of those extremely powerful Demon Beasts that had been suppressed for an unknown period of time.
Those that could charge at the front were almost all at the king level of the Demon Beasts. Every Demon Beast's strength exceeded the fifth grade of the Xuan Immortal Realm. Usually, these were the ones trapped in the core of the Trial Grounds. Even the Grand Elders of the various Sect didn't dare to rashly try. This time, a ferocious tiger came out of its cage, and it was truly a little unstoppable.
The formation that the various Sect had meticulously prepared could only hold on for a short period of time in the face of such a powerful torrent of Demon Beasts before it couldn't hold on any longer. When the formation was destroyed by the unreasonably powerful force, the only thing everyone could do was to desperately resist and run for their lives.
On one hand, the experts sent by the various Sects were well-prepared, but on the other hand, they weren't prepared enough. Everyone knew that the Demon Beasts in the core of the Trial Grounds were very powerful, but they didn't expect there to be so many of them. Thus, a tragedy naturally occurred.
The moment the formation was broken by the torrent, none of the experts in charge of the formation from the various Sect were spared. All of them were killed by the backlash of the formation. This was the result when the formation endured an attack that was several times more powerful than the formation's limit.
The only thing everyone could do was to retreat. There was no other way. In the first three months alone, 80% of the experts that the various Sects had set up in the Trial Grounds were lost. The more one thought that he was strong, the faster he died. In the face of absolute power, there was no reason to speak of, and there was no chance of luck.
Elder Li of the Black Heaven Sect was trembling all over as he read the news from the Trial Grounds. The disciple who reported the news thought that Elder Li had lost his composure because the Sect had suffered too great a loss. Only Elder Li himself knew why he was trembling.
The words that Yang Chen had advised him earlier had finally come true. Due to Elder Li's accidental injury, the other core member of the higher echelon who could not personally head to the training grounds to take over Elder Li's position, due to his own carelessness, did not even leave behind a corpse. At this moment, he had long entered the stomach of some demon beast, becoming a pile or several piles of waste that had been digested and excreted from his body.
Thinking of that fellow's smug expression before he left, Elder Li felt a lingering fear in his heart. If it wasn't for Yang Chen's timely reminder, the one who would have returned to dust would have been him, Elder Li, and not someone else.
Once he thought of this terrifying outcome, Elder Li felt both relieved and fearful. This mixed and complicated feeling was the real reason why Elder Li was trembling.
Losing a core elder and a group of disciples was nothing. Since they were not disciples of his faction, then it wouldn't be a pity to lose them all. It would be best if all of the people who opposed him were killed by the demon beasts.
After calming himself down, Elder Li suddenly reacted. No, the people who died were all disciples of the Black Heaven Sect. In the future, he was going to be the Sect Master of the Black Heaven Sect. How could he let his own disciples suffer such a loss?
The ambition that Yang Chen had stirred up was like a wildfire in Elder Li's heart. There was only a little spark, but it quickly spread across the entire prairie. The title of Sect Master Li was indeed much better than Elder Li's.
According to Yang Chen's suggestion, Elder Li encountered an "inexplicable" ambush on the way back. Fortunately, he did not die, but when he struggled to escape back to the Sect, he was already on his last breath.
Elder Li was really on the verge of death. How could the astute and astute Elder Li allow others to find a flaw in his act? With such a serious injury, even the pills refined by the Sect's seventh-grade alchemist couldn't heal him. He almost stepped onto the line of death.
Fortunately, both Sect Master Wang and Hall Master Liu had the Five Revolution Merit Ganoderma Jade Pill that Yang Chen had given them. This was the real life-saving medicine. After taking one Merit Ganoderma Jade Pill, Elder Li's injury was stabilized. After taking another pill, his injury began to slowly subside.
If it wasn't for the fact that the effect of the pill was too strong and Elder Li's current cultivation couldn't withstand more, he would have taken another pill. However, Elder Li was now able to recover bit by bit. It would take about half a year to a year for him to recover, which matched the time suggested by Yang Chen.
After this time, the pills that Yang Chen had given them surprised the core members of the Mysterious Heaven Sect. Everyone finally understood the difference between a genius alchemist like Yang Chen and an ordinary alchemist. It was just a mere Five Revolution Pill, but it was even more effective than the seventh-grade pills refined by the seventh-grade alchemists in the Sect. No wonder almost all the major Sect chased after it in the mortal world.
At this time, Yang Chen's pills also became life-saving medicine in the eyes of the higher-ups of the Mysterious Heaven Sect. No matter how high the level of a pill was, the best pill was if it was effective. Obviously, Yang Chen's pills had this advantage. A pill that could save a life at a critical moment would be treated as a treasure by anyone.
On the Mysterious Heaven Sect's side, aside from Elder Li who was mentally prepared, everyone else was shocked by this sudden bad news. Then, the Sect Master quickly gathered everyone to discuss countermeasures.
It wasn't just the Mysterious Heaven Sect; the major Sect's losses in the trial grounds were almost the same. Eighty percent of the elites that were sent to guard the trial grounds were lost, and the remaining twenty percent didn't last long. Aside from those who escaped with high-speed flying treasures, the rest all stayed within 5,000 kilometers of the trial grounds.
For the major Sect, this was definitely a huge blow. In order to seize the benefits of the trial grounds, the major Sect almost joined forces to seal the trial grounds. This time, they finally tasted the consequences. The biggest losses in the first wave were all from the major Sect; there were no other small Sect.
It wasn't until the major Sect's defensive arrangements were destroyed and everyone retreated thousands of kilometers away that the other Sect was involved.
These small Sect's sects were located in this area. Although they knew about Yang Chen's warning in advance, everyone naively thought that with the major Sect's support, there would be no big problems. Just when everyone felt the berserk outbreak of the demon beasts, those who were still in the wait-and-see stage inevitably fell into tragedy.
Half a year. In just half a year, all the Sect within 100,000 kilometers of the trial grounds, except for those disciples who weren't in the Sect, died without exception. As a result, the number of sect-exterminations exceeded hundreds.
