Bang!
A low, muffled sound exploded between the heavens and the earth. It sounded like real thunder. The heavens and the earth shook. Then, violent airwaves poured out in all directions.
The area where Qiu Yunhai and the Vajra Elder were fighting formed a huge ring. It was completely formed by energy. Then, the ring covered the entire area where the two men were fighting.
Within a radius of a few hundred feet, the light was blocked. Even the earth was stirred up by intense smoke and dust. There was also an unparalleled storm rolling.
The scene was indescribable.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the scene. They stared at the two figures in the middle of the fight.
They knew that the two men were going to use their killing moves.
They were going to use their full strength.
Therefore, after this move, the winner would be decided.
Therefore, everyone stared without blinking. They did not dare to miss a single detail.
However, there were two people in the arena who were different.
First, Li Wuyou.
He did not seem to care about the fight at all. He even seemed to know that Qiu Yunhai would win. He still had his eyes half-closed and leaned against the couch of the carriage.
He did not move.
The expression on his face was exceptionally calm.
It was as if nothing had happened.
The second was Darknorth.
He did not pay attention to the fight between Qiu Yunhai and the two Vajra Elders. Instead, he looked at the three thousand East Branch soldiers behind Li Wuyou. His brows were tightly knitted.
That was because he found a problem.
The fight between Qiu Yunhai and the Vajra Elders produced an unparalleled wave of energy. Ordinary people, even Xiantian experts, would find it difficult to withstand such a wave of energy.
For example, in the Endless Hardships.
Some of the ordinary Xiantian disciples had already turned pale from the shockwave, and were forced to retreat one after another.
Some people didn't even dodge in time and were directly injured by the shockwaves.
Even some disciples in the Grandmaster Realm found it difficult to withstand the wave of energy.
All of them looked solemn.
However, the three thousand East Branch soldiers behind Li Wuyou did not move at all. Their expressions were exceptionally calm.
They also looked as if nothing had happened.
It was as if the fluctuations didn't affect them at all.
Darknorth was naturally very curious about the state of these people, so he wanted to see their strength clearly. However, he discovered something that made him feel even more terrified.
There seemed to be a layer of indescribable power between heaven and earth that enveloped the three thousand grandmasters. No matter how Darknorth observed, he could not see through their strength.
Darknorth's heart sank to the bottom after witnessing all these strange occurrences.
He already understood.
The strength of the Eastern Faction Depot was far beyond his imagination.
Today's battle seemed to be in danger.
The East Faction Army was able to conquer the islands in the East Sea, destroy the Southern Battlefront Army, and destroy the grassland. This strength was obviously not as weak as he had imagined.
Even in the Jianghu, a Wulin Holy Land with a huge foundation and thousands of years of accumulation, the Wulin Holy Land was not weak at all.
Darknorth began to hesitate.
He was even nervous.
If he guessed correctly, the Endless Bitter Land had no chance of winning today's battle.
It was not that they seemed to have no chance of winning.
Then, was it necessary to continue the battle between the Endless Bitter Land and the Eastern Faction Depot?
Darknorth fell into hesitation.
If they fought, there would only be one final result: the Endless Bitter Land would be destroyed by the Eastern Faction Depot.
The thousands of years of inheritance of the entire Endless Bitter Land would completely disappear.
In this way, the Endless Bitter Land would be removed from the Jianghu.
And he would become the sinner of the Endless Bitter Land.
The biggest sinner in history.
However, if they didn't fight, would the Eastern Faction Depot stop?
It seemed not!
The Eastern Faction Depot came to the Endless Bitter Land in such an aggressive manner with great fanfare. They even announced to the world that they would destroy the Endless Bitter Land on the fifth day of the eighth lunar month.
This seemed to be a foregone conclusion.
It seemed that the Eastern Faction Depot was going to attack the Jianghu.
If that was really the case, no matter whether the Endless Bitter Land fought or not, it would be destroyed by the Eastern Faction Depot.
If they surrendered, they would become a joke.
This was a dilemma.
Darknorth did not dare to make any decision, because it seemed that no matter which decision he made, the Endless Bitter Land would welcome the most terrifying ending.
In this situation, there seemed to be only one final solution.
That was to use the Endless Bitter Land's final resort.
Before the people from Eastern Faction came, when that presence appeared, North Sea had once told an elder behind him that North Sea was not the only one in the Land of Endless Suffering.
This was the truth.
It was not a lie that Darknorth made up, nor was it a lie that Darknorth made up to give the disciples of the Endless Bitter Land confidence.
Under the ground of the Endless Bitter Land, there was indeed a truly terrifying existence.
Darknorth was the only one who knew about this matter.
This was the ultimate secret of the Endless Bitter Land.
That terrifying existence was not a real person, but a corpse.
It was the body left behind by the second ancestor of the Endless Bitter Land when he ascended the Gate of Heaven.
Back then, when that ancestor ascended the Gate of Heaven, an accident happened, causing his soul to scatter and completely lose consciousness. However, his body was extremely strong and was not destroyed by the lightning of the Gate of Heaven.
Then, this body was preserved by the people of the Endless Bitter Land.
The body was stored in the deepest part of the ground and endured the scorching heat of the underground magma every day. It had long become a true indestructible treasure.
And the way to activate this treasure was to inject the blood of a thousand people to awaken it.
Then, with the unique sacrificial method of the Endless Bitter Land, this body would be communicated with the seniors of the Endless Bitter Land who had already ascended the Gate of Heaven. Those seniors who had ascended the Gate of Heaven would temporarily control this body and fight for the Endless Bitter Land.
This was the final trump card of the Endless Bitter Land.
It was also the most fundamental reason why they could stand in the Jianghu for thousands of years.
With this body, no one could truly defeat or destroy the Land of Endless Bitterness.
However, to activate this body and communicate with those people above the Gate of Heaven, those seniors who were called gods, the price was a little too high.
The blood of a thousand corpses.
And it had to be the blood of the disciples of the Endless Bitter Land, who had cultivated the Bronze Gong Heart Sutra.
This was a great test for Darknorth.
These disciples were the foundation of the Endless Bitter Land, and they were the future of the Endless Bitter Land.
"The future?"
Darknorth pondered in his heart, then looked at the distant sky. There seemed to be a huge dark cloud covering over there. As the dark cloud rolled, the entire world became dark.
The fiery clouds that spread out from the afterglow of the setting sun were rapidly disappearing. The light and shadow on the ground were also gradually disappearing. Even the vitality between heaven and earth seemed to be rapidly disappearing.
It seemed that the entire Endless Bitter Land was about to be completely turned into darkness, an existence without hope.
Darknorth seemed to have understood something all of a sudden. He laughed self-deprecatingly and said in his heart.
"If we can't even get through this hurdle in front of us, then what's the point of talking about the future of the Endless Bitter Land? Since these disciples are going to die anyway, let's make their deaths more satisfying and more valuable. "
"They're all dying for the future of the Endless Bitter Land. It's a worthy death!"
"I'll remember their names on behalf of the Endless Bitter Land!"
Darknorth muttered to himself in his heart. As his voice slowly faded, his eyes turned cold.
There was also a hint of malevolence in this coldness.
He had completely made up his mind.
"Second Elder, open the White Jade Tomb in the Endless Bitter Land. When the real battle starts later, send the injured disciples in and let them recuperate."
Darknorth took a deep breath, then looked at the Elder behind him.
"White Jade Tomb?!"
The Second Elder didn't know what the White Jade Tomb was really used for. He had only heard of it before. When he heard Darknorth suddenly mention it, he was a little curious.
There was no immediate response.
"The White Jade Tomb is the secret realm of the Endless Bitter Land. There's a White Jade Cold Bed made of Millennium Cold White Jade inside. It has a radius of dozens of feet and can help people stabilize their internal strength, blood and qi, and recover from injuries."
"It's especially useful for the disciples of the Endless Bitter Land. If it's combined with the Bronze Gong Heart Sutra, it can produce unexpected results."
Darknorth explained with a serious face.
"Originally, this thing was the secret of the Endless Bitter Land. Only people of the Ancestral Master level could enter. But now, the Endless Bitter Land is facing a real disaster, so those rules are useless."
"Let all the ordinary disciples go in. For the future of the Endless Bitter Land, we'll have a real, real battle!"
Darknorth's voice was solemn, cold, and sincere.
It sounded like it was real.
However, what he actually wanted was to let the injured disciples enter the White Jade Tomb and use the Bronze Gong Heart Sutra. At that time, they would lose blood faster and even lose control of themselves.
At that time, the blood that carried the profound meaning of the Bronze Gong Heart Sutra would enter the depths of the White Jade Tomb and completely awaken the corpse of the Ancestral Master.
It would also allow the Ancestral Masters of the Endless Bitter Land behind the Gate of Heaven to sense it.
Then, they would fight for the Endless Bitter Land.
"The Ancestral Master is so righteous. I admire you!"
When the Second Elder heard Darknorth's explanation, a trace of gratitude and unconcealable excitement immediately appeared on his face.
If the White Jade Tomb was really as powerful as Darknorth said, then the Endless Bitter Land's combat power would reach a new level this time. Originally, he felt that it would be a little difficult to face the current East Department head-on.
After all, the East Department's strength was too extraordinary.
But now, he suddenly had nothing to worry about.
As long as the injured disciples entered the White Jade Tomb, they would be able to recover in a short time and fight with the people of the East Department again. This was equivalent to the Endless Bitter Land having double or even triple the number of disciples.
No matter how strong the East Department was, they had no chance of winning.
"I'll make the arrangements now."
The Second Elder's face was filled with excitement. Then, he quickly left the Endless Stone Tablet and began to make arrangements for the White Jade Tomb.
Darknorth gave the Second Elder a meaningful look. His expression became a little absent-minded.
He also felt a little helpless.
He sighed deeply and said in his heart, "I have no choice.
This is the last chance to protect the inheritance of the Endless Bitter Land. It's also the last way. "
"It's been hard on all of you!"
Boom!
The battle between the heavens and the earth came to an end in an instant.
As the sound of thunder rang out again, the powerful and violent airwaves finally reached their peak. Then, they began to converge. In an instant, all the airwaves turned into smoke and dissipated.
After which, the two figures within the air wave gradually revealed themselves.
Everyone's attention was once again attracted by this scene.
Between the heavens and the earth, there was a huge crater. The crater was dozens of feet wide, almost blocking the entire mountain path in front of the Endless Bitter Land.
Around the deep pit, countless cracks were slowly spreading out like a dense spider web. It was as if someone had smashed a huge hole in the ground.
It was indescribable.
In the middle of the deep pit was Qiu Yunhai and the Vajra Elder.
Both of them were not in perfect condition.
Qiu Yunhai's flying fish robe had been shattered by the shockwave. It looked like a tattered piece of cloth. There were even some white and red bloodstains on it.
His face was a little pale.
His hair was also disheveled.
The soil under his feet was also a little moist because of the blood. It looked a little shocking.
However, he still stood proudly with the spring embroidered saber in his hand still pointed in the direction of the Vajra Elder.
There was no trace of cowardice.
Or perhaps, it meant that he was retreating.
Looking in the direction where the tip of the saber was pointing, it was the Vajra Elder.
He was only about ten feet away from Qiu Yunhai.
His face was also very pale. His silver-white hair hung down messily, and he looked very miserable.
In addition, the clothes on his body, the old Elder's robe from the Land of Endless Bitterness, were almost completely ruined. They were ruined by the impact of the energy just now.
The ground under his feet was basically the same as Qiu Yunhai's. It was dripping with blood.
The soil on the ground became moist because of it.
It was a ghastly sight.
More importantly, his hands were still crossed in front of his chest. The blood on them was even more obvious, almost completely red.
His brows were tightly knitted together.
He stared at Qiu Yunhai.
There was a kind of terrifying shock and disbelief in his eyes.
Puff!
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, an explosion suddenly came between the heavens and the earth. The Vajra Elder's arms directly exploded, and flesh and blood splattered.
Only the bones were left …
