Chapter 693

Duanren Horizon

Crowds had gathered in the capital of the Sea Border Country. Countless cultivators had arrived from other cities and were entering the capital. The capital was bustling with activity.

Today was the opening day of the Duanren Horizon. The Duanren Horizon only opened once every six months. Cultivators who wanted to enter the Heart of Darkness only had this one chance every six months.

The Heart of Darkness was a nightmare for many cultivators. However, it was a treasure in the eyes of some experts. Even if one was in the outskirts of the Heart of Darkness, there was a chance of encountering a rare opportunity.

Once a cultivator encountered such an opportunity, it would be something that would benefit them for the rest of their lives.

At the edge of the deepest part of the capital, there was a precipitous cliff. In front of this precipitous cliff, there was an incomparably vast open space. In front of the precipitous cliff, there were many broken stone pillars that rose into the sky. This was the Duanren Horizon.

The Duanren Horizon was a ten thousand zhang tall cliff. At the bottom of the cliff were sharp stone pillars that pierced the sky. They were like broken blades that emitted a cold light.

If a cultivator was careless and fell from the Duanren Horizon, death was certain. Even Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators were not spared.

Even though Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators could walk on air, the Duanren Horizon was an extremely strange place. There was a terrifying gravitational pull here, so even Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators couldn't fly for long in the Duanren Horizon.

Normally, cultivators wouldn't rashly enter the Duanren Horizon. That was because it was an act of seeking death. However, every six months, the terrifying gravity in the Duanren Horizon would drop to its lowest point.

It was only at this time that Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators could truly walk through the air within the Duanren Horizon. Moreover, during this period of time, an enormous stairway to heaven would appear beneath the Duanren Horizon. This stairway would lead directly to the bottom of the Duanren Horizon.

This stairway to heaven was naturally specially prepared for cultivators below the Ultimate Emperor Realm who couldn't walk on air.

However, it wasn't that easy to pass through the Duanren Horizon. In the void below the Duanren Horizon, there was a terrifying number of Griffins hidden.

Griffins were an extremely ferocious flying Meta Beast. Their strength wasn't high. They were roughly at the Earth King Realm. However, there were tens of thousands of Griffins in the Duanren Horizon.

With such a terrifying number of griffins, even an Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator would be besieged and forced to flee pathetically. They might even die because of this.

Although the Griffins were terrifying, there was still an endless stream of cultivators who wanted to enter the Duanren Horizon. These cultivators who entered the Duanren Horizon were mostly those with poor aptitudes and knew they couldn't break through their shackles. Therefore, they wanted to seek opportunities in the Duanren Horizon to fight for a chance to survive.

Da da da!

The sound of horses galloping could be heard unceasingly. In front of the open space, a group of soldiers were rushing over. Each and every one of them was riding a large white horse. They were the Imperial Guards of the Yue Clan. In front of the Imperial Guards was naturally Yue Wufang.

Yue Wufang's silver armor shone brightly in all directions. He appeared majestic and domineering, displaying the domineering aura of a ruler.

Numerous cultivators had gathered on the empty ground. When these cultivators saw Yue Wufang leading the Imperial Army over, they all revealed looks of awe.

The current King of Bianhai Country was the number one expert. Who dared to disrespect him? Who dared not fear him?

The Imperial Guards stopped in the open space. Yue Wufang's gaze swept past them and focused on the five figures at the front of the group. The auras of these five people were much stronger than ordinary cultivators. They were all Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators.

Moreover, Yue Wufang wasn't unfamiliar with these five people. They were the ancestors of five of the fifteen cities in Bianhai Country. They were all old bastards who were about to reach the end of their lifespans.

If it weren't for their lifespans, these five people wouldn't have taken the risk to enter the Heart of Darkness. After all, everyone in Bianhai Country knew about the dangers of the Heart of Darkness. Even Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators had a high chance of dying inside.

The five old men raised their heads and looked at Yue Wufang indifferently. They nodded slightly as a form of greeting. They didn't have the slightest intention of greeting Yue Wufang.

Yue Wufang didn't get angry because of this. These five people weren't weak. They were basically all Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators. There was indeed no need for them to give Yue Wufang too much face. After all, they were all Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators. There was no need for them to pay attention to these complicated formalities.

Yue Wufang frowned slightly when he looked around again. He actually didn't see Zhuowen's group of three. He originally thought that Zhuowen's group had appeared in the capital because of the Heart of Darkness.

Now that the three of them were absent for no reason, Yue Wufang became even more puzzled.

"Your Highness Yue!

You should open the Duanren Border now, right? Although the five of us are Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators and are able to walk through the air to reach the bottom, there is still the threat of the Lion Vulture. So, Your Highness Yue, please hurry up and summon the Stairway to Heaven! "

A hoarse voice suddenly rang out, causing the originally noisy space to fall silent. Everyone looked over and saw that the one who had spoken was one of the five people standing proudly in front of them.

This person had a head full of white hair and wore a light blue cloth robe. At first glance, he looked completely ordinary and looked like an ordinary old farmer. However, this old man's eyes were sharp like an eagle's, making people unable to look straight at him.

Everyone immediately recognized this old man. He was the ancestor of Yuanli City, Zhou Lifeng. His strength was extremely terrifying. It was said that he was a Mid Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator. He could be considered the strongest of the five.

The other four old men weren't weak either. They were basically all Early Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators. Even Yue Wufang felt a faint pressure when the five of them stood there.

Although Yue Wufang was stronger than the five old men, if the five old men worked together, Yue Wufang would be a bit troublesome to deal with. This was also the reason why the five old men didn't seem particularly respectful towards Yue Wufang. They didn't fear him at all.

The attitude of the five old men caused Yue Wufang to frown slightly. He was slightly displeased. He said indifferently, "The opening of the Duanren Border will have to be delayed for a while. There are still people who haven't arrived."

"Hmm?

There are still people who haven't arrived?

Your highness Yue, everyone seems to have arrived. How could there still be people who haven't arrived? "

Zhou Lifeng frowned and looked around. In this group of people, the only one who had reached the Ultimate Emperor Realm was Yue Wufang other than the five old men.

As the ruler of the Sea Border Country, it was impossible for Yue Wufang to enter the Duanren Border. Now that the five old men were all here, how could there still be people who hadn't arrived?

Subconsciously, Zhou Lifeng and the five old men thought that Yue Wufang was trying to intimidate them. Thinking of this, the five old men's faces turned ugly.

"Your highness Yue!

In the Sea Border Country, who else can make you wait with the status of a ruler?

I think that such a person doesn't exist. I'm afraid that your highness doesn't want to open the Duanren Border, right? "Zhou Lifeng said meaningfully.

When these words came out, the eyes of everyone in the area narrowed. Their gazes gathered on Yue Wufang, and there was displeasure in their eyes.

These cultivators had travelled thousands of miles to gather here. Naturally, it was for the Heart of Darkness. The meaning behind Zhou Lifeng's words immediately put Yue Wufang in the eye of the storm.

Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Yue Wufang frowned. This Zhou Lifeng was becoming more and more impudent. Relying on the support of the other four old men, he didn't even put him in his eyes.

However, when the frightening figure from last night surfaced in Yue Wufang's mind, the corners of his mouth revealed a mocking expression. If Zhou Lifeng and the other two elders knew that the person he was waiting for was that fiend, what would they think?

"That person isn't someone you can afford to offend. Let me give you a word of advice, it's best to wait. Otherwise, it will be too late for regrets." Yue Wufang said with a faint smile.

"Haha!

Truly laughable. Yue Wufang, I think you should open the Duanren Border now. Don't force us to make a move. "Zhou Lifeng suddenly laughed loudly and said coldly.

When these words came out, the countless cultivators in the area started to shout. Their voices were loud, and they had the intention to force Yue Wufang.

Feeling the coercion from the crowd, Yue Wufang's face darkened to the extreme. The majority of these cultivators were wandering cultivators without a fixed faction. They were all alone, and they were not afraid of his Yue Family.

Moreover, this group of people had the support of Zhou Lifeng and the five old men. Even if Yue Wufang wanted to make a move, he would have to consider the consequences.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Swoosh! Swoosh! At this moment, three whistling sounds suddenly sounded from the horizon. Following that, three figures shot towards the area like arrows leaving the bowstring. In an instant, they arrived not far from Yue Wufang.

Among these three figures, one was a young man with a slender figure carrying a green coffin on his back. The other two were beautiful women. Both of them had looks that could topple cities and a unique temperament.

When the two women appeared in the open space, they undoubtedly attracted the gazes of many cultivators in the area. These two women were too beautiful, like fairies that had descended to the mortal world.

These three were naturally Zhuowen, Qing Lian, and Luo Xing. Ever since Zhuowen woke up, the three of them had rushed to the Duanren Border in a hurry. However, they did not expect that the Duanren Border had not opened yet. This made the three of them sigh in relief.

Zhuowen also noticed the gazes of the surrounding people. When he discovered that these people's gazes were basically ignoring him, and converging on Qing Lian and Luo Xing, he could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly. It seemed that the attractiveness of beautiful women was indeed extraordinary!

Ever since he had slaughtered all the geniuses in the three great counties last night, Zhuowen knew that there were very few geniuses left in the capital. Therefore, Zhuowen did not plan to hide his identity, and once again carried the Demon Suppressing Green Coffin on his back.

After all, the power of the Blood Demon within the Demon Suppressing Green Coffin was constantly transmitted to his body. Moreover, it had to be in contact with his body. Therefore, in order to increase his strength, he could only carry it on his back all the time.

"The three of you have finally arrived!

Wufang has been waiting here for a long time. If the three of you wish to enter the Duanren Border, Wufang will open the Duanren Border for the three of you. "

Yue Wufang quickly came before Zhuowen and the other two. His attitude could be said to be extremely respectful, and even his tone had a trace of caution.
