Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

The Cave Rat King reacted the fastest and immediately gave a warning, but it was too late.

As the barrage of attacks swept in, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Zi Sha's face. Then, his body instantly disappeared into the void, causing all the attacks to land on the seal.

The power of the furious attack unleashed by more than ten Nascent Soul Realm experts was unimaginable. Accompanied by a deafening roar, the seal immediately began to shake violently.

Fortunately, even so, the seal stubbornly persisted and soon returned to normal.

This shows that the seal has not yet been broken, which made everyone instinctively breathe a sigh of relief.

It's really speechless. Everyone worked together before, even at the cost of expending a lot of magic power, all in order to break this seal and obtain the so-called immortal inheritance.

But at this point, seeing that the seal had not been broken, they actually felt it was a good thing.

To be honest, this abrupt change of stance was something no one had expected.

As for why this was the case, everyone was completely baffled and had no idea what the reason was.

However, before everyone could celebrate for long and retract their magical artifacts, the Purple Fiend reappeared above the seal.

This naturally surprised everyone. Since they had such powerful means to hide in the void, the best choice would naturally be to leave. But the other party reappeared, which was too puzzling.

Then there is only one possibility: the other party has a more important goal, to the point that they have completely disregarded their own safety.

As for its purpose, it must be to break the seal.

So what exactly is inside this seal? Why is the other party so insane? Why would they be willing to risk their own lives?
If it were merely to seize the inheritance of immortals, it would be absolutely impossible to go to such lengths.

As the saying goes, something unusual must be going wrong. There must be something strange about this, and everyone instinctively had a bad feeling.

As expected, seeing that the seal had not been broken, Zi Sha's expression had become extremely ugly, and he also felt endless hatred towards Mo Juren.

If it weren't for the other party's sudden sabotage that caused the plan to end prematurely, we wouldn't be in this dilemma now.

Even now, he still can't understand what methods the other party used to make his 'Heavenly Fiend Tower' escape from control. It's too unbelievable.

More importantly, the same trick cannot be used a second time. Unless someone is completely brainless, they will never fall for it again.

Therefore, it is clearly impossible to break the seal by relying on everyone's attacks.

Looking at the menacing gazes around him, he knew very well that he was no match for them. The reason they hadn't attacked immediately was probably because they didn't want to repeat their previous mistakes.

Just as he was hesitating, his originally bright eyes suddenly froze, his pupils turned pitch black, and there was no more light in them. At the same time, a look of madness suddenly appeared on his face, and then an extremely powerful and terrifying aura suddenly emanated from his body.

"Oh no, he's going to self-destruct!" Everyone present was an old monster who had lived for many years, so they immediately understood everything, and their faces were filled with horror.

How terrifying would the power of a self-destruction at the late stage of fusion, especially in such a confined space, be?
"Madman!" In shock, everyone reacted quickly, but the opponent was too fast. There was no time to escape far. They could only burrow underground as fast as they could, while using various methods to protect themselves.

As for the three Cave Heaven Rat Kings, they immediately appeared in front of Mo Juren, pulling him towards the depths of the earth while joining forces to create multiple layers of defense.

The self-destruction of a late-stage Fusion Realm expert might not be able to completely stop the others present, but they would be able to save their lives. However, Mo Juren himself would have no chance of survival.

However, with the combined defense of three experts at the Integration Realm, there is no problem now.

All thoughts were but a fleeting moment, and at that moment, a maniacal laugh came from above, followed by the feeling of an earth-shattering energy erupting forth.

Even though it's deep underground, the distance is too close for complete avoidance.

The temporary defense hastily set up by the three Nascent Soul Realm experts at Mo Juren's place was directly shattered by the incoming shockwave, causing all three to turn pale, clearly affected by the impact.

But they were relatively fortunate, since it was a three-way alliance. The other Nascent Soul Realm veterans were fighting alone, and the damage they suffered must have been much more severe.

Of course, being deep underground at this moment, it is impossible to determine the situation of other things, but now that the impact of the self-destruction has disappeared, a decision needs to be made immediately.

They could either return to the ground, since the immortal legacy still exists.

But considering Zi Sha's madness just now, even at the cost of self-destruction to destroy the seal, there must be something fishy about it. Going back rashly now might lead to even greater danger.

For a moment, the group began to struggle with their decision.

However, at that moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from a certain direction, instantly interrupting their thoughts.

The voice was familiar; it belonged to one of the many Nascent Soul Realm experts who had arrived.

"Something's happened!" The Cave Heaven Rat King's expression changed drastically. Without any hesitation, he immediately fled with Fairy Phoenix Feather and Xuanjin Sanren, taking Mo Juren with him.

Before long, the group returned to the ground, but during this time, three more screams rang out in succession, indicating that three more people had encountered problems, or even been killed.

Each time a scream rang out, the group would release their divine senses to investigate, only to find that the area seemed to be shrouded in a black mist, making it impossible to see what was happening.

This is what puzzled them. They were all at the Fusion level. Although they had consumed too much magic power before, their strength was still not to be underestimated. How could they have been in trouble so easily?
Considering that Zi Sha risked his life to break the seal, there must be some truly terrifying thing inside!
"Could it be that the skeleton on the high platform, or perhaps that fallen immortal, didn't actually die! And from the beginning, everything was a trap? Was the so-called immortal's opportunity just a means to lure everyone into helping to break the seal?" At this moment, Mo Juren suddenly reminded him.

Upon hearing this, the three people beside him all tensed up, clearly believing that such a possibility was indeed true.

Only a fallen immortal could possess such terrifying strength; even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be no match for him.

"If what Brother Mo said is true, then things are in trouble!" After figuring everything out, the Cave Heaven Rat King sighed. It was clear that the being who was suspected to be a fallen immortal had extremely powerful strength. Even he had no confidence in fighting one-on-one. But now that everyone had scattered and fled, it gave the other party the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

What's even more troublesome is that this secret realm is sealed off, so even if everyone wanted to escape, it would be impossible. There's no other way but to fight to the death against the enemy.

Not fighting means certain death, but fighting to the death offers a glimmer of hope.

"We can't run anymore. We must inform the other Nascent Soul Realm experts. Even if we have to fight, it's best to join forces; that's the best chance of victory." The Cave Heaven Rat King understood everything almost instantly. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately released his divine sense and quickly transmitted his voice to the other Nascent Soul Realm beings he sensed. In just a moment, the others all received the news, understood the situation, and immediately made a decision, rapidly converging on the four individuals' location.

However, to the dismay of the Cave Rat King, the mysterious being's ability to conceal itself was simply unbelievable; it was impossible for him to sense it with his divine sense unless it actively revealed itself.

This also means that the other party could appear nearby at any time.

Thinking of this, he became even more vigilant and immediately reminded Fairy Phoenix Feather and Mysterious Forbidden Hermit to the side.

The two of them had obviously noticed the same situation, and were greatly alarmed. They took out their respective array-setting tools and began to set up an array nearby.

Seeing that all three were busy, Mo Juren was also thinking quickly. Although he was weak, he still had some special trump cards. Could he do something about it later?
The previous use of the edict was quite effective, playing a crucial role at critical moments. If it weren't for his intervention, everyone's losses would have been even greater, and Zi Sha wouldn't have needed to self-destruct.

Now, he was about to face a seemingly fallen immortal, whose strength was sure to grow stronger and whose methods were even more bizarre. He wondered if he could still be of any help.

Before long, three large formations had been set up around them, created by a Nascent Soul Realm expert, and were naturally far superior to those that Mo Juren had set up before.

At the same time, other beings at the Integration Realm also began to appear one after another: Mu Bingyun of the Wood Clan, Tu Lu of the Yaksha Clan, Xue Lingzi and Ming Xuzi of the Spirit Clan, and a Golden-Eyed Venerable from the Demon Clan.

With the addition of the three Cave Heaven Rat Kings, only eight Nascent Soul Realm cultivators remain, representing a full 30% casualty rate, a truly devastating loss.

Upon entering the formation, everyone wore solemn expressions, showing no sign of having survived a calamity.

The reason is simple: although it is unknown whether the unknown terror disappeared after killing three experts at the Integration Realm, it has definitely not given up and may make a comeback at any time.

He had previously fallen into a trap, which caused him to consume most of his internal mana. Then, he was affected by Zi Sha's sudden self-destruction, which increased the consumption of mana again and even caused varying degrees of damage to his body.

It can be said that at this moment, everyone's strength has been reduced by more than half, and under such circumstances, they really have little confidence in facing that unknown existence.

"Now that things have come to this, we have no other choice but to fight back. Only in this way can we possibly fight for a chance of survival."

Furthermore, the incident happened so suddenly that we were caught completely off guard, which is why we ended up in such a sorry state. The deaths of the other three fellow Daoists were also due to their being scattered, which allowed the enemy to exploit their weaknesses and defeat them one by one.

Now that the eight of us at the Integration Realm are joining forces to fight the enemy, we are not necessarily afraid of them.

Even if we ultimately lose, the worst that can happen is death, but we can't let the opponent have their way. We have to pay some price.

“Fellow Daoist Dongtian is right. We were too pessimistic. Fortunately, I also have a top-tier formation that should be able to help us…”

"I have some too..."

"..."

The Cave Rat King's reminder made everyone fully realize the situation, and they no longer hesitated, taking out their respective trump cards to prepare.

As beings at the Integration Realm, each of them naturally possessed considerable wealth, and it just so happened that the unknown enemy had not yet shown up, giving everyone a chance to catch their breath.

Soon after, a total of nine large formations were set up. Moreover, these formations were not set up randomly, but were the optimal solution made after discussions and deliberations among the participants.

At this level, one's understanding of formations has long been superb, so this is naturally not a difficult task.

These formations are arranged with one main formation and eight auxiliary formations, following specific rules and forming a close connection between them.

At this moment, the nine great formations had already been activated. The eight experts at the Integration Realm were all inside the main formation, but each of them sent out a clone to guard the core of the eight auxiliary formations.

In an instant, a huge light curtain formed within the area covered by the nine great formations, completely enveloping the surrounding area.

Only then did everyone finally breathe a sigh of relief. With these powerful formations protecting them, they were at least temporarily safe. Even if the unknown enemy made a move, they would be able to hold their own against it.

However, no one dared to waste a single moment. The previous exertion was too great, and they had to take this opportunity to recover as much as possible. Only with sufficient magical power could they have the confidence to deal with the changes to come.

Mo Juren was the only one not cultivating, but he was not idle either. Since everyone was meditating to recover, he took on the task of keeping watch.

Although his cultivation level is not high, his spiritual sense is quite good and should be able to play a role.

Therefore, Mo Juren, who had taken on the task, kept his divine sense open to explore the surrounding situation, so that he could give timely warnings if there was any disturbance.

Unfortunately, this peaceful atmosphere lasted for less than half a day. As a dark shadow burst out of the ground, a great battle was about to break out.

The dark figure arrived in an instant, and everyone finally saw its true face: a middle-aged man dressed in a green robe.

Although it has the appearance of a living person, it is easy to tell from its skeletal structure that it is clearly the skeleton on the high platform.

"It really is that person!"

"He is not dead after all!"

For a moment, everyone inside the main formation looked grim. At this point, it was 100% certain that this so-called secret realm adventure was nothing but a trap.

The real purpose is to lure everyone over, thereby helping them break the seal that is trapping the other party.

To be so thoroughly fooled and used, and then to be killed, is an utter disgrace! So many years have passed, and I have never been so mistreated.

The man in the green robe had already flown close, and looking at the heavy array below, a hint of amusement appeared in his expression.

Unexpectedly, in just a short time, these guys set up such an intricate formation.

But...

The man in the green robe gave a cold laugh. (End of Chapter)
