Chapter 1046 Breakthrough Possible
Chen Shu had no idea how to save him now.
The death qi invading his body was constantly eroding Chen Yang's body.
Even though Chen Yang was a powerful peak Grandmaster, how long could he hold on?
Seeing Chen Shu's anxious look, Chen Yang smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, I'm a Medical Saint Celestial Venerable after all. If I can't even save my own life, this title would be in vain."
As he spoke, Chen Yang, having absorbed a significant amount of blood qi, slowly got up.
Chen Yang used the power of the bronze cauldron within his body to suppress the death qi, while simultaneously sealing the parts of his body that had been eroded by it.
After controlling the spread of the death qi, Chen Yang's complexion finally improved a little.
Just as the two were about to take away the Sword Sect's legacy that Saint Moon Divine Venerable had absorbed, they unexpectedly found that the Sword Sect's Grand Elder had already discovered this ruin with his group.
Upon meeting, the Sword Sect's Grand Elder exclaimed in shock, "Junior Brother Chen Yang? What are you doing here?"
The Sword Sect's Grand Elder had previously told Chen Yang about the ancient battlefield, but he never expected Chen Yang to arrive here faster than them.
Moreover... there should have been a formation outside the Sword Sect's ruins.
How had Chen Yang broken through these formations?
A series of questions immediately surfaced in the Sword Sect's Grand Elder's mind.
Chen Yang did not hide anything from them.
He mentioned the ancient martial artists and Saint Moon Divine Venerable he encountered along the way.
When these names were mentioned, everyone was more than just shocked.
However, considering the ancient martial artists who had fought with the blood qi monsters earlier, they did not doubt Chen Yang's words.
But when Chen Yang mentioned another spatial channel, everyone was stunned.
"Chen Yang, you mean the spatial channel was just opened by them?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. The energy required to open a spatial channel is definitely not something a few peak Grandmasters can achieve."
Chen Yang said with a bitter smile, "How many of these ancient martial artists are true peak Grandmasters?"
At this statement, everyone was stunned.
Indeed!
Most of these awakened ancient martial artists had once surpassed the peak Grandmaster stage. What were these guys thinking about, it was definitely not something they could fathom.
The Sword Sect's Grand Elder, who led them into the passage, now fully understood the power of these ancient martial artists.
It had taken an immense amount of power to open the Sword Sect's spatial channel in the past.
And maintaining this passage every year also consumed a considerable number of spirit stones...
The ancient martial artists were too powerful!
The Sword Sect's Grand Elder hesitated and said, "No matter what they are here for, let's take away the Sword Sect's belongings first."
The Sword Sect's Grand Elder had not forgotten why he had brought so many people here.
As long as they could retrieve the Sword Sect's legacy, it might still be possible for the Sword Sect to guard against the ancient martial artists.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang produced the Sword Sect's legacy, which had already been significantly absorbed.
It was a stone tablet with engravings.
"Huh?"
The Sword Sect's Grand Elder recognized its origin at a glance.
Although the ancient script engraved on the stone had weathered many years, the sword qi emanating from it was still clearly visible.
Only the Sword Sect used such a peculiar method to pass down its power.
Chen Yang explained that Saint Moon Divine Venerable had absorbed some of the legacy, enraging the Sword Sect's Grand Elder, who cursed, "That bastard, if I ever meet him, I'll kill him."
For this legacy, countless martial artists from the Sword Sect had died over the years, and other sects were also involved in this matter.
This Saint Moon Divine Venerable had secretly absorbed so much!
However, thinking that the legacy had returned to his hands, the Sword Sect's Grand Elder was also greatly relieved.
Just then, the Daoist sect's senior disciple had already noticed something amiss with Chen Yang's body.
It seemed like several forces were clashing within Chen Yang, constantly consuming his life force.
And before entering this space, there was no such strange phenomenon on Chen Yang.
"Chen Yang, were you injured when you fought Saint Moon Divine Venerable earlier?"
Chen Yang was surprised that the Daoist sect's senior disciple could perceive the injuries within his body, but he smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Just a minor injury, I can handle it myself."
The Daoist sect's senior disciple gave Chen Yang a strange look but didn't say anything more.
Since Chen Yang had said so, he couldn't press further.
However, the Daoist sect's senior disciple kept the matter in mind.
As everyone was about to thoroughly search the Sword Sect to see if anything was missed, Chen Yang seized the moment and relayed Saint Moon Divine Venerable's previous words to them.
However, as he finished, Chen Yang reminded them, "Saint Moon Divine Venerable's words may not always be truthful. I cannot be sure how much of it can be believed."
After speaking, Chen Yang suddenly noticed a very strange phenomenon.
Everyone seemed unsurprised or shocked.
It was as if they already knew about this matter?
Seeing the confusion on Chen Yang's face, the Daoist sect's senior disciple explained, "On the way here, we witnessed a peak Grandmaster's breakthrough. Although the breakthrough was successful, they were still besieged by blood qi monsters."
"Breakthroughs are indeed possible here, but everyone is unsure about what happens after the breakthrough."
Thinking of the tragic death of that martial artist earlier, everyone felt a sense of apprehension.
The Sword Sect's Grand Elder also said, "The Sword Sect had attempted breakthroughs long ago, given the dense spiritual energy here."
"It wasn't just people from our Sword Sect; martial artists from other sects who came here previously also tried. We don't know if they succeeded, but none of them returned, so they were likely discovered by the blood qi monsters."
"As for the other world, you must have already realized that this space is exceptionally vast. The monsters in the sea are no weaker than the blood qi monsters, and on the sea, internal energy is suppressed. The Sword Sect had sent people to explore, and they have a general understanding of only this current ancient battlefield."
"The most powerful monster has surpassed the peak Grandmaster, and that creature seems to have some connection to the ancient battlefield. We attempted to kill it together once, but it reappeared shortly after."
At this point, a hint of apprehension appeared on the Sword Sect's Grand Elder's face.
The reason why so many peak Grandmasters had died in this space, besides the swarming monsters, was that formidable creature.
"I think now that the legacy is in hand, there are no regrets. Why don't you absorb the legacy now? After all, we old guys came here specifically for that monster!"
