Within the vital artery, there are numerous pathways that lead in all directions. However, eventually, all these pathways converge into one point. This is the core area of the vital artery, and it is also where the vital artery is located.
Here, corpses pile up like mountains, blood flows like rivers, and the stench of blood fills every corner. Even though such a scene is extremely thrilling, it is not as terrifying as the object in the center of the grand hall.
It is an elliptical stone, ten meters long, seven meters wide, and five meters high. It is blood red in color, engraved with patterns and spells, constantly making plopping sounds. If you observe carefully, you will find that it is actually beating.
This is definitely not a simple stone. It is simply a huge heart, the heart of a monster. How could a human have such a huge heart?
Outside this heart, there are dozens of people standing in a circle. Their positions are very strategic, like a defensive formation.
And their strength is all extremely powerful. The weakest is at the peak of Yuanwu, and six of them have already entered the Xuanwu realm. Especially the man with the muscular build, he actually has the cultivation of Xuanwu sixth level.
However, at this moment, he has a pale face, his left hand covering his chest, and streams of blood are slowly flowing out. His breath is extremely unstable. Although he has the cultivation of Xuanwu sixth level, it seems that a part of his power has been sealed. At this moment, he only has the strength of Xuanwu fifth level. And this person is the actual head of the White Tiger Villa, Mu Yunlu.
Outside Mu Yunlu, several hundred people are surrounding them, facing each other. Although the personal strength of this group is not as strong as Mu Yunlu's group, their cultivation is all not weak. The overall strength can be said to be evenly matched.
Among these people, the leader is a man with a face similar to Mu Yunlu's, but slightly older. This man is Mu Yanguan, the elder brother of Mu Yunlu. He is the second most powerful person in the White Tiger Villa, with the cultivation of Xuanwu fifth level.
Apart from Mu Yanguan, among these several hundred people, there is also a Xuanwu first-level strongman. However, this man's height is very short, and he is wearing a gray robe.
The gray robe is very strange. It not only covers his face completely, but also has engraved spells on it. And the patterns of the spells are much more profound than the white robe of Wu Zhongyun. It is very mysterious, but just one glance is enough to feel that it is very extraordinary. "Brother, believe Brother Xin's words. Brother always thinks of the White Tiger Villa for me."
Mu Yanguan holds a black long sword, and the blade is dripping with blood. It can be seen that he was the one who stabbed Mu Yunlu, his own elder brother.
"You're lying. The vital artery is the foundation of my White Tiger Villa. If the vital artery is destroyed, the villa will perish. You now want to destroy this vital artery, which means destroying my White Tiger Villa. You are a traitor and dare to speak so solemnly."
"Ah..."
Mu Yunlu's voice was very excited. When he reached the climax, he spat out a mouthful of blood and had a violent cough. It was truly heart-wrenching, showing that he was indeed seriously injured.
"Brother, don't be stubborn. You should know that the White Tiger Villa now is just an empty shell. It no longer has the prosperous situation as the old master was alive. Even the first-class sects in Qingzhou are not as good as it. It can only be ranked alongside those useless second-class sects. Any random power can destroy my White Tiger Villa."
"Such a White Tiger Villa is of no use. It would be better to open this vital artery and enter that desolate place. As long as you enter the desolate place, you can obtain everything that the old master obtained originally."
"At that time, my brother and I can master the techniques to wipe out everything, possess the power of being against the heavens, and make my White Tiger Villa the hegemon of the entire Jiuzhou continent."
Mu Yanguan said. |
"You are talking nonsense! The elders clearly left a message that the secrets of the ultimate realm cannot be replicated. Otherwise, the world would be in chaos. This vital line cannot be tampered with. If it is broken one day, within a radius of ten thousand miles, everything will be destroyed instantly. The entire Qingzhou will be plunged into chaos, and the entire Jiuzhou continent will be destroyed."
Mu Yunluo pointed upwards and on the ancient rock wall, there was indeed such a passage engraved, profound and powerful, as if written with fingers, but each stroke was several meters long, deep one meter, and the force was extremely terrifying.
"Watch carefully, this is the ancestral decree of the elders. This is also why the elders guarded this place. If you dare to disturb this place, the elders will surely reappear. At that time, even I won't be able to save you." Mu Yunluo warned.
"Mu Yunluo, don't worry. Your elder, Mu Xiaoyao, has long passed away. Otherwise, he wouldn't have shown up after such a big commotion at the White Tiger Mountain Village."
"Also, I can open this vital line, but I won't destroy it. I can protect your White Tiger Mountain Village and prevent the people of Qingzhou from suffering such devastation." At this moment, a voice from the grey robe sounded, aged and strange.
"Who are you? Are you the one who spread false rumors and bewitched my elder brother to do such a treasonous act?"
Mu Yunluo was furious and raised his hand, a palm of power condensed around him, causing the entire vital line to tremble violently, as if a mountain fell from the sky, about to crush everything.
Such power was too strong. Almost all the martial realm strongmen were shaken and retreated repeatedly, even the martial realm strongmen couldn't withstand it.
But with such an attack, the grey-robed person didn't even move, as if he had absolute confidence to withstand this blow.
"Boom!" Suddenly, a figure flashed by. Mu Yanguan appeared like a ghost in front of the grey-robed person. He launched a skyward punch, also emitting astonishing power, which even neutralized Mu Yunluo's punch.
The powerful ripples spread in the air, huge roars echoed everywhere, the entire vital line boiled over. If it weren't for the two martial realm strongmen, each using their pressure to counteract those ripples, all the martial realm strongmen present would have been crushed by this ripple.
This was the terrifying aspect of the martial realm strongmen. With each breakthrough of a level, they would gain divine power. The confrontation between the two martial realm strongmen with the power of martial realm five was truly earth-shattering.
"Brother, how could you be so disrespectful to the master? The master is a noble person of our White Tiger Mountain Village. He is helping us." Mu Yanguan shouted angrily.
"Shut up! An outsider like him could never think of considering the White Tiger Mountain Village's interests? He clearly came for the secrets of the ultimate realm. This person has a treacherous heart. How can you believe his words?"
Mu Yunluo was even more enraged and shivering with fear, because the one who was the culprit for causing his brother to turn against each other and causing chaos in the White Tiger Mountain Village was precisely that grey-robed person.
The reason why his power was reduced from the sixth realm of Xuanwu to the fifth realm was all because of the black sword in the hands of Mu Yongyan Guan. And that black sword was given by the man in the grey robe.
