Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start
Chapter 1038 - 100 The Land of Heavenly Punishment_2

No one was willing to set foot there, as no one could imagine that the Primordial Yellow Essence would actually appear in the Canglei Ancient Ruins.

"Is this message true? Is the academy not deceiving us?" someone exclaimed in fear, unwilling to head to the Canglei Ancient Ruins.

Because if one were to go, there was a significant chance that before even sighting the Primordial Yellow Essence, one would first face calamity, with thunder descending from the heavens.

One must understand that it was a heavenly tribulation, not just mere words, it could be said to be extremely terrifying, and few could safely get through it.

"This... What should we do, is the academy really not joking, or just sending us to our deaths?"

Upon hearing the news, many people immediately recoiled, beginning to hesitate.

The Primordial Yellow Essence might be desirable, but one needed to be alive to seize it.

"The Canglei Ancient Ruins, located in Yunzhou of the East Profound Region, cover a vast area, nearly encompassing a quarter of the entire Yunzhou, a barren land," Gu Chen reflected on the information concerning the Canglei Ancient Ruins in his heart.

He too was wary about this place, because even with his strength, facing a heavenly tribulation did not guarantee his safety.

Especially after mastering the divine ability Nine Heavens Thunder Movement, his understanding of the power of thunder deepened, and Gu Chen understood even more how terrifying divine punishment truly was.

Soon, Qingyun Academy also released a message confirming that the Primordial Yellow Essence was indeed inside the Canglei Ancient Ruins, but the journey would be fraught with immense danger, and all actions were entirely voluntary; the academy would not coerce them to go.

In an instant, Qingyun Academy went from uproarious to silent.

"I'll go!"

On the third day, Yan Qi of the Sun Divine Sparrow Clan gritted his teeth, resolved to head to the Canglei Ancient Ruins to search for the Primordial Yellow Essence.

"I will go too!"

Ao Guang of the Dragon Clan, proud by nature, was not content to be outdone by others and similarly chose to go to that so-called land of divine punishment from the heavens.

"We absolutely cannot miss this once-in-a-millennium opportunity!" exclaimed Chu Liufeng of the Chu family.

"I'm going for it!"

Wang Yuan of the Zifu School, with a determined look, also made up his mind.

"I..."

Chen Xuan of the Yuexiao Sect hesitated for a moment; he desired the Primordial Yellow Essence, but he also worried about losing his life for it.

However, when Princess Xidie came to find him and told him she would go, Chen Xuan also bit the bullet and decided to risk this one time.

Besides them, members of the Kui Niu Clan, Azure Luan Clan, Bi An Clan, Hou Clan, and other top talents also chose to head to the Canglei Ancient Ruins in search of the Primordial Yellow Essence.

The reason they were so persistent, determined, and willing to risk their lives was quite simple.

"The battle for supremacy among the Ten Thousand Tribes across the three thousand six hundred realms is about to begin, if not now, then when?!"

This was the most genuine thought in the hearts of people like Yan Qi and Ao Guang, which was why they, these demons in human form, were willing to risk their lives to go to the Canglei Ancient Ruins.

After all, although individuals like Yan Qi could dominate a realm and were listed on the golden roll of heroic talents, the upper realm was too immense, hosting three thousand six hundred domains. Once the greatest fortuity of the upper realm, the Ten Thousand Tribes' battle for supremacy, commenced, countless outstanding beings would converge, and Yan Qi and his peers would be like a drop in the ocean, incapable of causing any ripples at all.

As the strongest monster of their clan or faction, Yan Qi and Ao Guang and the others could not accept such a situation. To prevent themselves from fading into obscurity, and to secure a good ranking in the competition of the Ten Thousand Tribes, they had made such a decision.

Otherwise, participating in the battle of the Ten Thousand Tribes, they would surely have died miserably; it was better to take a chance now.

"From now on, I will not give up any opportunity!" This was the most genuine reflection of their hearts.

Of course, what was most unexpected was that Princess Xidie had also chosen to go; it seemed that the Holy Brilliance Dynasty's Tenth Princess also had significant thoughts about the battle of the Ten Thousand Tribes.

As for Gu Chen, he made the decision on the day he learned the news that he would go to the Canglei Ancient Ruins.

Facing the so-called land of divine punishment from the heavens, although he was not sure he could come out unscathed, to speak of falling, Gu Chen was confident there was no possibility of that.

If nothing else, he was certainly able to save his own life.

Moreover, having learned from Chu Yue Ling, the Saintess of Taoxu Road, about the four realms of the physical body's cultivation, Gu Chen would absolutely not give up on the refining holy material, the Xuanhuang Qi, while others might.

He who does not accept what Heaven grants will suffer the consequences.

If an opportunity arises and is laid before him, if he does not compete for it, then what is the point of his cultivation?

During this period, Qingyun Academy gave Gu Chen and the others five days to consider. By the third day, Yan Qi and his group had made up their minds, and by the time the final deadline arrived, many others were also prepared, their expressions solemn, ready to go.

Soon, the sixth day arrived, and a Great Power from Qingyun Academy led the team, taking Gu Chen and a group of people through the teleportation array to the Canglei Ancient Ruins in Yunzhou!

Out of the thousands of students at Qingyun Academy, amazingly, nearly two-thirds came this time, only a minority thought that their cultivation realms were not sufficient, believing that going to the Canglei Ancient Ruins would pose a great risk of death, so they chose not to go.

In the crowd, the Saintess Chu Yue Ling of Taoxu Road was also present, standing next to that leading Great Power from Qingyun Academy, the two of them chatting about something.

The admiration that the Great Power had for the Saintess Chu Yue Ling of Taoxu Road was clearly undisguised.

This scene inevitably made Yan Qi, Ao Guang, and the other monsters feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Being of the younger generation, this Saintess of Taoxu Road was qualified to communicate with a supremely high-standing heavenly realm Great Power, able to make the Great Power smile and treat her kindly, but they could not.

This deepened their recognition of Chu Yue Ling's status and identity, and also solidified their resolve to become stronger.

Before long, after several inter-state teleportations, Gu Chen and the others arrived near the Canglei Ancient Ruins.

The place was an immensely desolate barren land, the ground a dark brown color, the air slightly thick with the scent of burning, and not far away were faint glimmers of electricity flashing.

At this moment, they were very close to the Canglei Ancient Ruins, the so-called land of divine punishment from the heavens; less than five hundred kilometers further would bring them to the true outskirts of that deadly area.

After arriving here, inevitably, the expressions of everyone became solemn, including the Great Power from the academy.

For, like Gu Chen and the others, if they entered the Canglei Ancient Ruins, they too faced the crisis of death.

The sky here was faintly gloomy, the area near the Canglei Ancient Ruins seldom saw a clear sky.

Boom!

Suddenly, a deafening thunderclap resounded; in the deepest part, a blazing white silver light flashed like a giant dragon, tearing through the sky. The light it cast was blinding, causing the people from Qingyun Academy to squint their eyes slightly.
