"What the hell is this?"
Looking at the massive barrier that suddenly appeared, blocking their escape route.
The expressions of the people present couldn't help but change slightly.
But feeling the extreme danger emanating from behind them.
Among the eight people, the cultivator named Wang Yangfeng, who was at the eighth level of Tribulation Transcendence, gritted his teeth, his eyes instantly bulged and turned blood red.
The spiritual energy in his body, which was originally suppressed and moving at only 30% of its speed, surged wildly like a great river once again.
Scarlet spiritual energy surged around Wang Yangfeng, and the formidable aura of an eighth-level Tribulation Transcendence cultivator was unleashed.
The temperature around him also rose sharply, becoming extremely hot, almost causing the space to warp and twist.
In the next moment, Wang Yangfeng's figure transformed into a blazing, scorching meteor, crashing into the barrier that blocked their escape.
"Rumble!"
The space within the barrier vibrated violently, and terrifying scarlet spiritual energy furiously attacked the massive barrier.
But in the next instant, the eyes of Li Qi and the other six cultivators all narrowed sharply.
Simultaneously, Wang Yangfeng's disbelieving cry rang out like a scream.
"How is this possible!"
When the scarlet spiritual energy belonging to Wang Yangfeng on the edge of the isolating barrier gradually dissipated.
They saw that the giant barrier that had suddenly appeared and blocked them was completely unharmed, not even a single crack appearing.
"How could this be!"
Astonishment and an inexpressible fear suddenly grew more and more intense among them.
Wang Yangfeng's attack just now had been without any reservation. In fact, due to the intense sense of death he felt.
Wang Yangfeng's attack this time was even more forceful than when they had jointly beaten the guardian.
Yet, even so, the full power of this eighth-level Tribulation Transcendence expert had not caused even the slightest ripple.
And all of this was merely because of the single word "Seal" uttered casually by the middle-aged scholar who had transformed from white bones!
This had completely surpassed the scope of their understanding.
At this moment, they all felt an icy chill penetrate to their bones.
What kind of monster had they provoked?
And just then.
"Ah!"
A scream suddenly rang out among them.
The crowd immediately turned their heads to look, their eyes once again filled with horror.
The source of the scream was the gloomy cultivator who had been injured earlier by the guardian's attack.
And now, they saw the middle-aged scholar, who had transformed from white bones and appeared immensely dignified, standing quietly before the gloomy cultivator.
His indifferent eyes carried no emotion.
He raised his arm and calmly extended a finger, but that single finger seemed to carry the weight of billions of jun. Stars almost flickered and vanished within it.
The gloomy cultivator had no time to dodge, nor the ability to.
For this strike had locked onto him completely, rendering escape impossible no matter how far he fled.
"Bang!"
In an instant, blood splattered, and flesh flew. The smell of gore filled the air and entered the nostrils of the others.
Looking again, the gloomy cultivator was now only left with a little over half of his body. His eyes revealed an indescribable horror and extreme fear.
"Save me..."
But in the next moment.
A large white hand appeared above his head from somewhere unknown. It was incredibly gentle, as if a celestial being was bestowing a blessing.
Conversely, the look of terror in the gloomy cultivator's eyes intensified, almost reaching its peak.
"Save..."
A gentle breeze blew, without stirring any ripples. The gloomy cultivator's words were completely frozen on that last word.
A top expert at the eighth level of Tribulation Transcendence had now fallen so easily.
It appeared to be no different from killing a chicken.
And the middle-aged, dignified scholar who had killed him still had those indifferent eyes, with not the slightest ripple of emotion.
"..."
A feeling of suffocation surged continuously. The first cultivator of the same rank had died so easily on the spot.
The fear in the hearts of those present had completely escalated to the peak.
And at that moment, the middle-aged dignified scholar's sharp gaze turned to another person.
This time, his target was the black-robed, white-haired old man.
The moment he was targeted, the old man's entire body's alarm bells instantly shot up to their peak.
Black spiritual energy surged around him in an instant, transforming into a mass of black mist that enveloped him.
From within the black mist, an incredibly ferocious and sharp claw extended.
But in the next moment.
"Crack!"
The sharp claw that had just extended was instantly severed, and a mournful cry echoed.
"Why aren't you coming to save me? Either break this barrier, or let's join forces to deal with this monster. One eighth-level cultivator is already dead. If I die too, your situation will be even more dangerous later."
The old man in the black robe shouted frantically.
What he had summoned was the soul of a ferocious beast that he had been honing since his youth. Now that his cultivation was at the eighth level of Tribulation Transcendence, this ferocious beast soul had become unimaginably powerful through his ten thousand years of cultivation.
Summoned in a short period, it could even rival an eighth-level Tribulation Transcendence cultivator. But even so, when he had just summoned the beast soul within him, the claw that had just extended had no defensive capabilities whatsoever. It was instantly severed like tofu.
From this one instance, he could completely understand that if he hadn't summoned the soul of his ferocious beast just now, and it had been himself instead, he would have probably had half of his body directly cut open.
And as expected, when the words of the black-robed, white-haired old man fell, the people present also snapped back from their horror.
Breaking the barrier was probably impossible.
Wang Yangfeng's full power just now had barely left any significant trace on the barrier.
Even if they joined forces and could truly break this barrier, it would take an unknown amount of time.
With so much time spent breaking the barrier, they would have all been killed by this guardian whose strength was unknown.
