Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 782 I don't care about this or that, just kill!

At the entrance to the blessed land, where Fang Yu broke through the seal, the woman's clear and joyful shout, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly shattered the deathly silence and oppressive miasma deep within the blood-red forbidden land.

This shout was like the president of the aerospace company or the dam administration building firing a shot, instantly attracting the attention of all the cultivators nearby!

Following the sound, and also the fresh, almost tangible, spiritual energy that suddenly filled the air, they quickly converged in front of a seemingly ordinary, steep mountain wall.

At this moment, a deep cave entrance, barely wide enough for one person to pass through, is clearly visible on the mountainside.

The edge of the opening still retained subtle spatial ripples, indicating that it had just been forcibly opened.

The rich, intoxicating spiritual energy was continuously flowing out of the cave. Taking a breath made one feel incredibly comfortable throughout the body, and even the fatigue from days of fighting dissipated.

"Wow, such rich spiritual energy!"

"This...this is a blessed land?!"

"The entrance was hidden so well!"

Exclamations rose and fell, and the eyes of the disciples from all the sects blazed with intense light, their greed and desire almost overflowing.

Deep within this treacherous, blood-red forbidden land, such a treasure trove is hidden? How many rare and precious materials must be within?
Everyone rushed to the cave entrance, eager to be the first to see the entire mysterious cave.

However, when they eagerly turned their gaze into the cave, the sight before them made them hold their breath instantly, and then an indescribable sense of suffocation and anger surged into their hearts!

The cave was not the empty treasure trove one might imagine.

Inside the grotto, the dome seemed to have a river of stars flowing around it, the jade underfoot was warm and smooth, exotic flowers and rare herbs were everywhere, and the spiritual spring flowed tinklingly. The rich spiritual energy was almost like mist. This was truly a supreme blessed land that had become its own world!

In the center of this dreamlike fairyland, a figure stood there lazily.

His brand-new blue robe stood out conspicuously amidst the radiant light.

That face might be a blur for most people, but that blue robe, that nonchalant, playful expression that seemed to say even if the sky were to fall, instantly ignited memories in everyone's hearts!
"It's him!"

"That villain in the blue robe!"

"Fang Yu from Yellow Maple Valley!"

The scarred man from Tianque Fortress clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, while the female disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect blazed with fury in their eyes. Disciples from various sects, including Spirit Beast Mountain and Blade Transformation Valley, also gritted their teeth in anger.

This is the guy! He stole their Star Soul Grass, Ice Crystal Lotus, and Ironback Pangolin cubs, practically plundering all their biggest spoils since entering the forbidden area! All their hard work was for nothing, a complete waste of their efforts!
And now, this damned bandit has found this hidden paradise, which is incredibly rich in spiritual energy, before everyone else!

Not only was he inside, but it seemed he had already made this place his own backyard!

As everyone's gaze swept over, they saw rare spiritual herbs radiating an alluring spiritual light beneath Fang Yu's feet. Not far away, a spiritual spring flowed, overflowing with spiritual energy. Deeper still, an ancient and simple stone platform of a celestial abode stood quietly.

Although it is not clear what treasures are on the stone platform, the platform itself is made of extraordinary material, and it must contain the real treasures of this place!
A field teeming with spiritual herbs! A mysterious immortal abode on a stone platform! The entire blessed land!

All of this should have been an opportunity for the disciples of the seven major sects after going through hardships, but now that guy in the blue robe with a slightly irritating smile on his face has taken the lead and monopolized the top spot!

Fang Yu waved his hand, "I found this place, it's mine."

A female disciple of the Hidden Moon Sect couldn't help but shout shrilly, "It's you again! This blessed land is unclaimed; how can you monopolize it?!"

"That's right! Hand over what's inside!" roared the burly man from Tianque Fort, his stone sword humming in his hand.

The crowd was filled with rage and greed, their eyes fixed on Fang Yu inside the cave. Spiritual energy fluctuations rose subtly, as if they were about to rush in and attack at the slightest provocation.

However, Fang Yu merely turned his head slightly, his gaze sweeping lightly over the crowd huddled together at the cave entrance, their faces ashen.

A familiar, defiant smile slowly curved the corners of his lips.

"Oh?" His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly, carrying a mocking tone that made people grit their teeth in anger. "Want to rob me?"

He shrugged, his tone matter-of-fact yet utterly infuriatingly sarcastic: "You guys said before that whoever saw it first would get it."

"Bullshit!" The scarred, burly man from Tianque Fortress was the first to roar, slamming his stone sword heavily on the ground, sending shards of stone flying. "This Crimson Forbidden Land is an unclaimed territory; the opportunities within have always belonged to the capable! Just because you say it's yours doesn't mean it is! Try calling it and see if it answers!!" His words were clearly a direct quote from Fang Yu's twisted logic when he snatched the Star Soul Grass, using Fang Yu's own methods against him.

"That's right!" A female disciple from the Hidden Moon Sect raised her eyebrows, her voice shrill, her eyes filled with deep-seated hatred. "When you stole my senior sister's Star Soul Grass, didn't you say it was something naturally grown and unclaimed? Isn't this blessed land naturally grown? Why did it become yours just because you went in first? Senior Sister Li's life, and the spiritual herbs, spirit beasts, and ores that were stolen from our various sects—we haven't settled that score with you yet!"

Her words immediately resonated with the other disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect, their crescent blades flashing coldly, exuding murderous intent.

"Fang Yu of Yellow Maple Valley! You're being far too domineering!" A disciple from the Blade Transformation Pavilion shouted angrily. "We disciples from several sects fought tooth and nail on the outskirts of the forbidden area to finally find this entrance, and you just want to hide inside and monopolize it? What kind of logic is that!"

"Exactly! Everyone who sees it gets a share!"

"Throw him out!"

"Hand over the treasure inside!"

"Stop wasting words with him, let's all attack!"

Enraged, the disciples from all factions united in their hatred of the enemy. Their spiritual energy surged, and their magical treasures shone brightly, completely surrounding the cave entrance. They seemed poised to swarm in and forcibly seize the treasure.

They outnumbered Fang Yu and, although they were wary of his lightning magic, their fear was temporarily suppressed by the lure of huge profits and the accumulated resentment.

Inside the cave, Fang Yu watched the surging crowd outside, spittle flying everywhere, and listened to their "righteous" accusations and rebuttals that quoted his "famous sayings." The lazy smile on his face gradually faded.

He slowly and very noticeably moved his neck, making a slight "click" sound.

Then, he twisted his wrists and rotated his shoulders, each movement carrying a sense of power poised to be unleashed, like a lazy beast awakening. "Heh~" A soft laugh escaped his throat, carrying a cold mockery.

He raised his head, and his eyes, which had been filled with mockery, were now sharp as knives, sweeping across every angry or greedy face at the cave entrance.

His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly drowned out all the noise, carrying an undeniable coldness:

"Okay."

"I originally wanted to use your logic of 'no man's land, the capable shall rule' to save some effort and avoid a pointless battle."

He paused, a cold smile curving his lips, a smile filled with utter contempt and an impending burst of arrogance.

"As a result, you've started using my principles."

Fang Yu's eyes suddenly turned as cold as ice, and a terrifying aura that made people's hearts tremble suddenly erupted from him, causing the spiritual energy in the cave to tremble!

Faint purple arcs of electricity flickered and danced around him, emitting a soft crackling sound.

"Well!"

He took a sudden step forward, a step that seemed to strike the hearts of everyone present!

"Then I'll just let you know!"

Fang Yu's voice suddenly rose, booming like thunder, carrying an overwhelming and judgmental aura:
"What the hell is this about Uluru loitering missiles on the bridge at the start of the game?"

He raised his hand and pointed straight at the dark mass of people outside the cave, each word like a heavy hammer blow!
"It's not that I'm scared!"

"But it's for all of you!"

"Declare war!"

As the last word fell, a dark cloud appeared above everyone's heads!

These dark clouds are no ordinary clouds!
It was as thick as ink that couldn't be dissolved, and its churning and surging carried a chilling malice, like a ferocious beast lurking in the sky, ready to devour its prey.

The light was greedily devoured, and the area near the entrance to the cave was instantly plunged into an eerie darkness. Even the pervasive blood-red miasma of the forbidden land seemed thin and powerless in the face of this pure darkness.

A sense of oppression emanating from the depths of their souls gripped everyone's hearts, making it difficult for them to breathe.

Even more terrifying is that deep within those inky clouds, there is not utter stillness.

Countless faint, teeth-grinding "sizzling" sounds could be heard, which was the accumulation and friction of violent energy!

Occasionally, a blinding, eerie purple lightning bolt will suddenly tear through the darkness, flashing through the clouds and leaving a brief but scorching afterimage.

Each flash of lightning was accompanied by a chilling aura of destruction, as if divine punishment was about to descend!

That purple color was the same color that had instantly turned Senior Sister Li of the Hidden Moon Sect into charcoal!

A quick-witted, skinny man immediately cried out, "Oh my god! I've only just reached the Qi Refining stage, how come I have to undergo the tribulation of lightning!"

A burly man from Tianque Fortress, overwhelmed by fear by anger and greed, roared as he poured his spiritual power into the heavy stone broadsword in his hand!
"Playing tricks! I don't believe in this nonsense! You're only at the Qi Refining stage! Everyone, attack together!"

Seeing that no one reacted, the burly man snorted coldly, "Then I'll set an example for you! Kill them!"

The sword immediately hummed, and the burly man, with the force of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, lunged at Fang Yu!

However, his figure had barely burst out of the crowd, and even the echo of his angry roar was still reverberating in the air—

“Boom-ka-!!!”

A bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a bucket and dazzlingly bright, struck down with perfect precision from the dark clouds!
The speed was so fast that it exceeded the limits of everyone's visual perception!
0.1 seconds!
Just 0.1 seconds!
That burly figure, along with his broadsword infused with all his spiritual power, didn't even have time to react, or even utter a scream, before he vanished completely in that destructive purple pillar of light!

Where it was, only a human-shaped, charred and smoking mark remained, along with a pungent, nauseating stench of burnt flesh that quickly spread, just like the smell when Senior Sister Li was struck to death!
Dead!

Absolute silence!
Then came the terror of a landslide and a tsunami!

"Oh my god!!!"

"Run!!!"

"Get out of here!!!"

Having witnessed firsthand how fellow cultivators at the peak of Qi Refining were instantly annihilated like ants, leaving not even a trace, the string of reason in everyone's hearts snapped completely!
What are blessed lands, what are rare treasures, what is sect reputation? In the face of absolute death, they all become bullshit!
Just moments ago, the cultivators were pushing and shoving each other to be the first to enter the cave, as if they wanted to squeeze others out. Now, they were like an ant colony being doused with boiling water, completely erupting into chaos!

Their faces were filled with extreme terror, and their eyes were fixed on only one target.
They rushed toward the cave entrance that they had just regarded as the entrance to the treasure!
"Get out of my way! Let me out!"

"Get out of my way! Get out of my way!"

"Help! I don't want to die!"

Cries, screams, shoving, and curses mingled together, and the scene instantly spiraled out of control!

Pushing and shoving, the spiritual energy shields were haphazardly erected and instantly shattered. Some people even tripped and fell to the ground, only to be trampled over by countless feet, letting out shrill screams.

At that moment, they only regretted that their parents had given them two less legs, and they only regretted that the entrance to the cave was so narrow!

Just moments ago, they were scrambling to be the first to enter this place, but now it has become their only way to escape this death zone. Everyone wishes they could be the first to rush out and never, ever set foot in this nightmarish place again!
