Chapter 440: He Must Pay a Blood Price

The words from He Ling Mountain did not concern the few Tribulation stage great emperors at all.

Talismans in the great emperor realm could kill a Divine Transformation cultivator like Xue Yue, and perhaps by luck, they might even kill a Great Ascension stage cultivator.

However, against fellow cultivators in the Tribulation stage, the talismans would be inadequate.

Activating talismans requires time, and the time to launch an attack also adds up. Additionally, the attacks from talismans are very rigid, making them easily dodged by cultivators of the same realm.

Thus, in the eyes of the few great emperor realm cultivators, all they needed to do was help the ancestor of the Xue family break this formation, and they would gain substantial benefits. What could be better than that?

As for a Nascent Soul stage youngster having backing behind him, they had even less fear.

Even if the opponent’s backing was a Tribulation stage great emperor, so what? Would the other party dare to trouble them all at once?

Moreover, even if it caused trouble, it would merely be the problem of little Old Xue.

So, when it came to attacking a formation set up by a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, the several Tribulation stage great emperors had absolutely no worries.

At that moment, as the few Tribulation stage great emperors simultaneously attacked the formation, four strands of sword energy rapidly formed within the formation.

These were four sword talismans crafted by sword cultivators, and they were of the immortal level.

As the sword energy appeared, the four Tribulation stage great emperors outside the formation instantly felt their scalps tingle with dread.

However, before everyone could fully prepare, the four sword energies tore through the entire formation and quickly shot toward the four Tribulation stage great emperors.

The speed was so swift that the four Tribulation stage great emperors had no time to react.

The four strands of sword energy not only instantaneously neutralized the attacks from the four Tribulation stage great emperors but also, in the next moment, passed through where the four great emperors stood and shot toward the sky from four different directions, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Once the sword energy vanished, the space it flew through exploded, resembling sonic booms from a supersonic aircraft.

Yet, the force of this explosion was many times more powerful than a sonic boom.

Nearby, a Divine Transformation cultivator several hundred meters away was torn to pieces by the immense force.

The four Tribulation stage great emperors who were directly struck by the sword energies instantly turned into a mist of blood, only to be evaporated into dust by the overwhelming power.

Not far away, Fairy Ling, at the Late Tribulation stage, felt her scalp tingle at the sight.

In the next moment, she turned and fled, disappearing from her spot in an instant.

Nearby, the Beautiful Woman and her partner, who were Xue Yue’s parents, also saw this scene.

In their shock, they thought like Fairy Ling and turned to escape.

However, within the formation, He Ling Mountain, after activating the immortal talismans, quickly pulled out several great emperor peak level attack talismans and locked onto the two before activating them.

Great emperor peak level talismans, when used against fellow great emperor realm cultivators, even those at the beginner level might struggle to cause damage.

Yet against two who were merely at the Great Ascension stage, it was more than sufficient.

Under everyone’s gaze, just as the male and female were preparing to flee, two strands of sword energy had already appeared before them.

Faced with this situation, the two could only activate all their defensive measures.

The two activated their great emperor level defense talismans, but under the onslaught of the two sword energies, they quickly shattered.

At this moment, two more strands of sword energy surged forward.

The two individuals had no time to offer any resistance and were directly pierced through by the sword energy.

Sword cultivators are inherently more powerful than ordinary cultivators, which makes sword energy talismans one of the most formidable types of talismans.

Faced with the sword energy talismans at the peak of the Tribulation stage, how could two Great Ascension stage cultivators defend themselves?

As He Ling Mountain killed the four Tribulation stage great emperors and two Great Ascension stage cultivators with his talismans, everyone nearby quickly distanced themselves from him.

It was terrifying.

No one expected a Nascent Soul stage cultivator could kill four Tribulation stage great emperors with talismans.

As for the two Great Ascension stage cultivators, they were hardly worth mentioning in front of the four Tribulation stage great emperors.

At that moment, everyone feared that He Ling Mountain, in his frenzy, might see them as attack targets too.

So, many cultivators kept a safe distance from He Ling Mountain.

Transformation stage cultivators only dared to observe He Ling Mountain from the limits of their divine sense perception range.

They knew that He Ling Mountain was merely a Nascent Soul cultivator, and as long as they stayed outside his divine sense perception range, he wouldn’t be able to harm them, even if he had talismans capable of killing great emperors.

Fairy Ling thought the same; however, she had already hidden on the other side of the planet.

She didn’t flee from this planet because she wanted to see which faction this Nascent Soul stage cultivator belonged to.

The talismans he activated had truly frightened her.

She felt that even if she faced such talismans herself, she would only meet a dead end.

Thus, these talismans were certainly not something that could exist in the cultivation world.

She sensed that this Nascent Soul stage cultivator might possess secrets that could allow her to become an immortal.

Since she was certain that the Nascent Soul cultivator couldn’t attack her, she naturally had no reason to run away.

…

Meanwhile, after He Ling Mountain dealt with the four Tribulation stage great emperors and two Great Ascension stage cultivators, his mind raced as he considered the next steps.

If possible, he wanted to leave this place.

However, he knew that nobody would open a super teleportation array for him.

Even if someone did, he wouldn’t dare use it.

As a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, if someone schemed against him and teleported him into the vast starry sky, he would have no means of escaping with his cultivation level.

Besides leaving on a super teleportation array, he had no way to depart from here.

To fly away through the starry sky, he needed the company of Integration stage cultivators; otherwise, with his flying speed at the Nascent Soul stage, it would take hundreds or even thousands of years to travel from this star to a nearby star.

After some consideration, He Ling Mountain decided to stay here. He wasn’t going anywhere.

The Sect Master had given him a storage ring filled with many cultivation resources, allowing him to stay here for a long time.

So, He Ling Mountain took out the array disks again, activated them after pouring in a pile of superior grade spirit stones.

He decided to cultivate within the formation, and if anyone troubled him and tried to kill him, he would counterattack with talismans.

If no one provoked him, he wouldn’t attack others.

As He Ling Mountain hid within the formation once more, news about Fuyang Star spread quickly among countless people.

At the Command Center of the Cultivation Alliance’s front line.

"What? A Nascent Soul cultivator killed four of our Human Race’s great emperors with talismans? Are you joking?"

"Are you sure it’s a Nascent Soul cultivator from our Human Race and not a beast emperor in disguise?"

"Four great emperors of the Human Race just like that? This is definitely the greatest loss since our war with the beast tribe…"

"Immediately summon all Human Race great emperors on the front lines to rush to Fuyang Star! We cannot let the one who harmed our four great emperors escape; we must make him pay a blood price!"
