In the endless void, the experts of the five major Demon Sects were swiftly heading towards the depths of the Sword Tomb.
“Elder brother, why didn’t you take action earlier? The aura of that Qingqiu Nine-Tailed Fairy Fox isn’t particularly strong. It should be a bit weaker than you, right?” The horned wood king asked in confusion.
“Indeed, elder brother. The Nine-Tailed Fairy Fox clan possesses royal bloodline. If we can devour her powers, it will greatly benefit our cultivation,” another Demon Master added.
“Moreover, these guys have been subduing the demon forces under our command throughout the Tiandang Mountains. If we don’t show them our strength, how can the five major Demon Sects establish a foothold in the Tiandang Mountains in the future?” The Qing Elephant King and the Golden Patterned Blood Peng also echoed.
The Lion Tiger Demon Master said in a deep voice, “This Nine-Tailed Fairy Fox royal carries an astounding half-step Venerable power, and there’s an ancient aura about her. Although her cultivation aura seems slightly weaker than mine, a Nine-Tailed Fairy Fox that could possibly be at the half-step Venerable level, are you sure we can subdue her?”
“That’s not the most important thing; the most important thing is that young man. I can’t see through him,” he continued.
The Silver Eyed Wolf King and the other Demon Masters were shocked. If even the elder brother couldn’t see through that young man?
“That young man is only at the late Saint Master realm, isn’t he?” The horned wood king frowned.
The Lion Tiger Demon Master shook his head, “Indeed, his aura is at the late Saint Master realm, but his true strength is completely inscrutable. I have a feeling that this young man’s strength is far from what it appears on the surface. Acting rashly would yield unpredictable results.”
“Furthermore, this young man actually supports the Ancient Dao Sect against the Tianyuan Sect. I suspect he’s not completely unaware that there are powers backing the Tianyuan Sect, but since he dares to act this way, he must have other intentions. During such times, it’s better for us not to complicate things.”
Looking at the Silver Eyed Wolf King and the others, the Lion Tiger Demon Master said, “Years ago, when we brothers charged into the Southern Sky Realm, our goal was to return to the Demon Realm. Initially, we wanted to establish an immortal sect in the Southern Sky Realm, but what was the outcome? You all saw how Black Bear and Giant Crocodile died back then.”
“This is the territory of the human race; it’s better to keep a low profile. If we can achieve something from this Sword Tomb expedition, when we all break through to the Venerable realm, we’ll have nothing to fear.” The Lion Tiger Demon Master said solemnly.
“Elder brother thinks things through as always.” The Silver Eyed Wolf King said deeply, “Years ago, our group of brothers ventured into the Sword Tomb several times, but never once did we reach the deepest part of the Sword Tomb. This time, with the changes in the Sword Tomb and our past experience, we can reach the depths before the top experts of the human race arrive, avoiding wasting too much time here.”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The five major Demon Masters urged their powers and swiftly delved deeper into the Sword Tomb.
The Sword Tomb was vast and boundless, far exceeding what was seen from the outside.
As time passed, Qin Chen and the other two continued to delve deeper into the Sword Tomb.
As they progressed, they could clearly feel sharp sword intents pervading the Sword Tomb, these sword intents slicing through their will, constantly impacting each person's soul.
Besides this, within the sword intents, there were also terrifying demonic will, attempting to invade their sea of souls and infect their spirits. The soul membrane could only defend against soul power and was somewhat helpless against the attack of this demonic will.
Under this dual pressure, most experts found it difficult to advance into the depths of the Sword Tomb.
