83: Chapter 83 Sudden Change: The Sage's Legacy is a Scam

In an instant, the sky underwent a massive transformation; blood-red light, intermingled with black demonic energy, threatened to shroud all the cultivators within the Qingxuan Holy Land.

A strange, evil aura permeated the air, causing all the cultivators to stop in their tracks. At this moment, they had already reached the center of the Qingxuan Holy Land.

"This... what is this!! Such an evil aura... could it be that a Great Demonic Cultivator has snuck in among us?"

"Could it be Chu Chen from three years ago? Rumor has it that he slaughtered the elite disciples of the major top-tier sects within the Qingxuan Holy Land, and not a single person who saw him survived."

"Whether it is him or not, we will know soon enough. The entire Qingxuan Holy Land is now sealed off, and this grand formation is extremely bizarre."

"We should still send a message to our ancestors, otherwise we really will be buried here."

Shi Yu, cloaked in a black robe, mingled within the crowd and spoke up.

Although he had a way to break this grand formation, it would consume all of his origin essence.

Unless absolutely necessary, he would not use this power of origin essence.

His only hope now was to incite these elite disciples and let the sects behind them come to the rescue.

"Brother, your words are very true. We shall send messages to our sects immediately. If this person is indeed Chu Chen, we might even be able to perform a meritorious deed."

In mid-air, a dark shadow suddenly appeared.

"Hehehe... Welcome, my captive blood-food. It is now time for this demon to dine, so please, do not resist!!"

At once, countless cultivators looked up and saw a dark shadow with an indistinguishable appearance standing in mid-air.

The strange aura radiating from its body terrified everyone present.

"Who are you? What is the meaning of trapping disciples from all our major sects here?" A cultivator immediately spoke up and asked the dark shadow.

"Swish." As the words fell, space distorted.

The dark shadow instantly appeared before the cultivator who had spoken.

A sinister voice came from that indistinct face: "Of course, it is to eat you all. Have I not made myself clear enough?"

"Puchi."

A tentacle stained with black demonic energy shattered space and instantly pierced through the cultivator's chest.

In an instant, a terrifying devouring force erupted from the black tentacle, sucking the cultivator into a dried-up husk.

"Wonderful!! This taste is simply wonderful!!! I am going to eat every last one of you."

At this moment, the dark shadow's voice was nearly insane.

"Everyone, it seems this person practices the Demonic Path. Creating such a commotion, he must intend to use demonic methods to sacrifice us and increase his cultivation."

"However, does he really think we are so easily manipulated? Everyone, let us attack together and exterminate him," Shi Yu said from the side.

He immediately summoned a flying sword, his eyes watching the dark shadow coldly.

"Brother, your words are very true!!" a cultivator responded.

"A mere demonic cultivator daring to plot against us? You are simply courting death."

As soon as these words were spoken, countless cultivators unleashed their magical treasures.

Seeing this, Shi Yu silently retracted his flying sword and quietly retreated behind the crowd.

He wouldn't waste his energy dealing with this filthy thing alongside them; he had spoken up only to goad these people into attacking so he could hide in the back and observe the situation.

Seeing this, the dark shadow said excitedly: "Good!! Very good. I love active blood-food; they are crunchy when eaten."

"Courting death!!"

"You pathetic demonic scoundrel, go to hell!" Following this angry shout, a cultivator with a cold expression appeared, his eyes flashing with frigid murderous intent.

The next moment, he violently swung the flying sword in his hand. In an instant, the sword shot towards the dark shadow like an arrow released from a bow.

However, the moment the flying sword approached the dark shadow, it shattered on its own.

The cultivator gasped in disbelief: "How can this be!!"

The next instant, the dark shadow vanished from his pupils.

"Not good!" He shouted in alarm. He suddenly felt a chill behind him and immediately swung his sword to turn around, but it was already too late.

The dark shadow had already appeared behind him. On its indistinct face, two scarlet lights stared at him with immense greed.

"Swish." A black tentacle broke through space and instantly pierced through his chest, sending blood splattering everywhere.

He looked at the dark shadow before him in despair as his body rapidly withered and turned into a dried corpse.

"Zila." The black tentacle retracted, and the withered corpse fell to the ground.

"Alright, this demon has played enough. Now, the main event begins." With these words.

The originally calm sky suddenly trembled violently, as if torn apart by an invisible giant hand, emitting bursts of heart-palpitating roars.

The next moment, a gigantic rift appeared above everyone's heads.

It was like a hideous, bottomless maw. Countless thick, black tentacles gushed out from the rift continuously. These tentacles were pitch-black as ink, permeated with dense demonic energy and a strange aura that made one's hair stand on end.

"What is this thing...!!"

A cultivator looked at the scene before him, his face full of horror, his voice filled with fear.

He tried to manipulate the magical treasure in his hand to attack those black tentacles.

But the moment the treasure made contact with the tentacles, a crisp sound was heard.

The treasure actually shattered completely, turning into countless fragments that scattered on the ground.

Seeing this, the other cultivators' expressions changed drastically. They realized that these black tentacles were by no means ordinary objects.

Their power likely far exceeded their imagination. In an instant, the entire scene fell into chaos.

The cultivators panicked and fled in all directions, trying to avoid these terrifying tentacles.

However, the black tentacles were extremely fast, sweeping in like lightning and killing and devouring everyone present.

The withered corpses piled up like a mountain, resembling a living hell.

Seeing this, the dark shadow said in a frenzied voice: "That's it... that's it... the sweet taste of blood."

"As long as this demon devours you all, I will surely be able to return to the Saint Realm."

Outside the Qingxuan Holy Land!

Experts from various major sects saw the demonic light soaring into the sky from within the Qingxuan Holy Land.

"What is happening? How could such an evil demonic aura appear within the Qingxuan Holy Land?"

"Could it be that Chu Chen caused this?" an expert asked.

"I don't think so. The evil demonic aura has completely sealed off the Qingxuan Holy Land."

"Don't forget, this is where the Saint Inheritance was left behind."

"How could anyone be able to interfere with the situation inside? Unless a Saint took action."

"But if a Saint had taken action, the barrier of the Qingxuan Holy Land would have long since shattered."

Saying this, the expert said in surprise and doubt: "Unless, this is a scam."

"Oh no, if the Saint Inheritance is a scam, then the disciples of our sect are surely doomed with no chance of survival."

The next instant, a beam of light flew over rapidly, and a voice came from within it.

"There is a Great Demonic Cultivator in the Qingxuan Holy Land; the disciples implore for reinforcements."

Not only that, but one beam of light after another followed, all being elite disciples from various sects using transmission jade slips to call for help.

"Damn it, the Qingxuan Holy Land is actually a scam!!"

"How dare they scheme against the disciples of my sect! I will shatter it with one sword strike."
