Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 1086 Hunting for the Essence of the God Realm Masters

Just when everyone was shocked, an extremely well-hidden energy fluctuation suddenly came from the front.

“Who is there?”

Ding Hao ran his power. The Saber Intent and Sword Intent burst out all over the sky in an instant as he rushed out like lightning. Many experts reacted at the same time. The sound of breaking through the air came, and almost everyone rushed over in an instant.

At the same time, dozens of miles away, a mighty figure slowly fell down.

“Help me…” a human expert said with difficulty. His face was full of despair and his body was covered with blood. His outstretched arm slowly drooped powerlessly.

A sword practitioner in the God Realm from the Extermination Swordsmanship Sect rushed over to hold the man and asked anxiously, “Brother Gu Feng, what happened?”

The expert of the Human Clan who was seriously injured and dying was called Gu Feng, and he was a well-known rogue cultivator. He was very powerful and was a famous senior God Realm Master in the Northern Region. His strength was around the two-apertured God Realm, and he was one of the most powerful people at the top level.

However, this man was eccentric and had few friends. He chose to leave alone instead of going with the main force. Obviously, he was extremely confident in his strength. In fact, Gu Feng was powerful enough to act that way. He had dominated the Northern Region for thousands of years, and even the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost had to show respect to him.

Gu Feng did not have many friends in his life. This Extermination Swordsmanship Sect sword practitioner named Bai Yin was one of his few friends. In the past, they had cooperated a few times. Just now, Bai Yin had even advised Gu Feng not to act alone. However, Gu Feng had just left with a smile. They never expected that in just four hours, a powerful Supreme Master in the God Realm would be dying like that.

“Buck up, Brother Gu Feng! What happened? Who did this to you?” Bai Yin shouted. At the same time, he spared no effort and injected his God Realm Origin power into Gu Feng’s body, trying to keep him alive.

“I have a magical elixir here…” A Supreme Master in the God Realm from the Blue Cloud Sect took out a blue top-grade medicinal pellet and handed it over.

But it was too late.

“Darkness… Boundless darkness…” Gu Feng’s vitality was gone. He said these few words before he died completely. Wisps of black stench emanated from his body. In an instant, his exposed skin decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Hmm? Something’s wrong. Let him go now.” Ding Honglei reminded him.

Bai Yin was stunned. When he saw the black mist spreading toward his body, he suddenly realized something and quickly let go of Gu Feng.

Bang!

With a light sound, Gufeng’s body burst into a cloud of azure smoke.

With a flash of brilliance, Bai Yin dissolved the weird black mist.

“His God Realm Origin has been extracted alive…” Ding Honglei said with a frown.

Gu Feng’s death was caused by the forceful absorption of his God Realm Origin, so he lost the power to turn the situation around. The previous Demon Clan’s God Realm Master also lost his Demon God essence by the head. All the signs showed that the real purpose of the terrifying existence in the dark seemed to be hunting for the power of the God Realm Masters’ essence.

Everyone’s hearts sank.

That was because both the Demon God and Gu Feng were powerful experts, but they were killed without any chance to fight back. This made everyone feel as if they had entered a hunting ground. The enemies in the dark took the experts in the God Realm as sheep to be hunted at will.

It sounded quite incredible.

Every single God Realm Master that had entered this place was a supreme master, yet those two people were slaughtered. Could it be that those enemies that secretly hunted for the essence of the God Realm experts were immortals?

Previously, when those enemies hunted and killed the head of the Purple Thunder Peak, they managed to leave no traces at all. When they hunted Gu Feng, they had no time to erase the traces since obviously, everyone had found out about it, so they left a dark power on him.

“Alas… Let’s keep moving.” Ding Honglei sighed, set up a cenotaph for Gu Feng, and then continued to move forward with people from the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost.

“Where are we going?” a God Realm Master asked loudly.

Ding Hao also frowned slightly.

Ding Honglei seemed to know something. In addition to pointing out that this was Hell Path, after entering here, she had been moving in a fixed direction. It was as if she was looking for something with a very obvious purpose.

The God Realm Master’s question was also what Ding Hao felt like asking.

Another God Realm Master couldn’t help saying, “Yeah. Venerable Ding, if you do know something, just tell us.”

Ding Honglei stopped, glanced at the crowd, and said solemnly, “I know you have doubts. This is indeed a dangerous place, but as long as we are together, the enemies will have no chance to hurt any of us. Don’t go anywhere on your own. I can assure you that the Holy Palace of Mysterious Frost has no selfish motives. Fortune coexists with danger. The greater the danger, the rarer the fortune.”

After hearing her words, those who were doubtful and dissatisfied did not know what to say.

“I believe in Venerable Ding.” Ding Hao nodded in agreement.

Ding Hao’s identity was not ordinary. He was the chief of the Northern Region Martial Alliance. This title was not worth mentioning for many of the God Realm Masters in the older generation, and many of them did not participate in the battle of the Blue Cloud Sect. They did not care much about Ding Hao’s achievement of breaching the enemy’s camp. However, Ding Hao, after all, represented a rising dominator force in the Northern Region, so his words meant a lot.

The group continued forward.

In the next three or four days, they met a few more corpses of God Realm Masters on the way, including those of the Demon Clan and the Human Clan. All of them had entered this place through the Door of Reincarnation before, but they all died, and without exception, their essences had been extracted.

The crowd had been initially shocked before, but now they were indifferent. Everyone was a hero of a generation and had witnessed too many great changes and battles, so they had completely grown used to what they saw.

There was practically no clue from the corpses of these dead God Realm Masters.

Fortunately, no one from the main force had been attacked in the past few days. Obviously, the strength of the enemies was not as terrible as they imagined, who were not capable to challenge so many God Realm Masters at the same time.

In the blink of an eye, another half month passed.

Everyone traveled through this strange world in a hurry. According to the distance, they had crossed, they had traveled at least tens of millions of kilometers. This world was just unbelievably vast.

Along the way, they rarely rested.

Ding Hao would also make the best use of his time to practice. He would comprehend Saber Intent and Sword Intent while traveling with so many God Realm Masters in the old generation. It was a rare learning opportunity. Regarding some cultivation experiences that did not involve secret methods and magical powers, Ding Hao would politely consult different superiors.

Ding Hao was the chief of the Northern Region Martial Alliance. He was young and had infinite potential. It was very likely that he would become the absolute supreme master of the Northern Region in the future. In addition, his attitude was respectful, so most God Realm Masters from the Human Clan had a good impression of this junior and would give him some advice.

Those experienced masters had gone through hundreds of battles, and almost all of them had lived for more than a thousand years. Ding Hao could not compare with them at all in terms of knowledge. Sometimes, after they gave Ding Hao some advice, he would benefit a lot.

Ding Hao’s strength was currently at the peak of the Demigod Realm. As for how to enter the real God Realm, he was not too sure. The Spiritual Qi in the Hungry Ghost Path was as thin as that in the Northern Region, and there was a strange power circulating in it. It was not as suitable for cultivation as in the Land of Divine Grace, so Ding Hao’s cultivation did not improve by leaps and bounds again.

“Little Chap Ding, how could you? With the two of us here, you actually went to ask those ignorant idiots. You really make me sad.” Saber Master muttered.

Ding Hao chuckled and said nothing.

The Saber Master and the Sword Master were old monsters. They were indeed knowledgeable and knew countless secrets and cultivation methods. But because they were too old, they could only grasp the main ideas and thoughts of cultivation. They knew nothing about the tedious and subtle cultivation skills and experience under the rules of this world.

What Ding Hao needed now was this kind of well-tempered technique and method.

Led by Ding Hao, Zhang Fan, Fang Tianyi, Song Que, Bai Quanshui, and other young experts also condescended and asked the elders about cultivation questions. Maybe those elders saw themselves in these young people, or maybe this trip to the Reincarnation Region was too dangerous. They also felt like passing on their skills. Except for a few strange experts of the old generation, the others answered every question from the youngsters.

In the end, some older experts even communicated with each other.

Ding Honglei saw all of this and was very satisfied with Ding Hao’s performance.

This atmosphere of sparring and learning from each other worked out well and offset the loneliness of the journey, and it also improved the spirits of everyone to a certain extent. At the very least, they no longer had to worry about the threats posed by the enemies hidden in the dark.

Another ten days passed.

Ding Hao did gain a lot during this period.

He was the young supreme master most favored by all superiors of the older generation. He had infinite potential, so the experienced experts were willing to guide him. If they died here in this battle of Reincarnation and Ding Hao made it back alive, at least he could pass on their Taoist techniques or protect their descendants. It could be regarded as their investment in him.

Ding Hao already felt that he was at a critical point of his breakthrough.

This breakthrough had nothing to do with his Qi cultivation or Divine Senses cultivation. It was a transformation of his state of mind. Making it into the real God Realm meant that his life was taking an inner transformation. He was no longer an ordinary creature but almost a god.

Ding Hao had even temporarily put aside the cultivation of Qi and Divine Senses. Instead, he tried his best to adjust his state of mind and his mental state to comprehend and capture the subtle fortunes in the unseen world.

However, everyone continued to endure hunger. As time passed, the feeling of hunger became even clearer.

Even if the experts took out the food in their storage space, no matter how much they ate, the feeling of hunger and thirst would not disappear.

Evil Moon was in a state of restlessness.

On this day.

“Do you feel it? There is something different in the front. I feel the aura of a battle between supreme masters…” A God Realm Master raised his head and looked into the distance.
