Chapter 188: Brutal Fight
The divine soul sprout was transparent green and seemed to be oozing with juice. As soon as it appeared, it absorbed several times more blood-colored mist.
This sprout began to grow at a visible speed, instantly sprouting three leaves.
Meanwhile, Qi Bei was in a dazed state, and his soul gradually merged with a strange power that did not belong to him.
At the same time, on the Nord Family ancestral tomb, the hazy blood light began to surge.
Kurt Nord suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.
“The first calamity is coming,” Kurt thought, his gaze becoming extremely solemn.
Nearly thirty thousand Nord family descendants were repeatedly reciting obscure sacrificial incantations, seemingly unaware of what was happening.
Just then, a crack suddenly appeared in the blood light above the Nord Family ancestral tomb, slowly widening.
Yan Shengyi coldly spoke, “One disciple at Senior realm from each of the five Holy Lands, prepare to enter the Nord Family ancestral tomb and destroy all the tablets on the altar. If anyone obstructs, kill without mercy.”
Immediately, a senior disciple from each of the five major holy lands stepped forward and stood before Yan Shengyi.
“The first opportunity has arrived,” said the old man wearing a golden skeleton robe, squinting his eyes.
“What should we do?” Emperor Han Mo asked.
“We do nothing; this first time is not our affair,” the elder with the golden skeleton robe said indifferently.
Han Mo was puzzled but dared not ask further, and the elder showed no intention of explaining.
As the crack on the blood light above the Nord Family ancestral tomb grew larger, Yan Shengyi led the five disciples of the Holy Lands to fly into the air.
Suddenly, Yan Shengyi made a move, enveloping the five disciples of the Holy Lands with immense energy and forcibly squeezing them into the crack of the blood light. The five disciples successfully entered, but Yan Shengyi was shaken out by the tremendous energy fluctuations in the blood light, spewing out a mouthful of blood.
Kurt Nord’s mouth curled into a wicked smile. The arrival of the first trial indicated that the fusion between the soul sprout and Qi Bei had begun, causing fluctuations that led to cracks in the blood energy within the ancestral tomb.
At this moment, five disciples who had reached the senior-grade were sent in, while the Nord family could only send their own senior disciples to resist. Sending disciples with lower levels would be sending them to their deaths, while those at the King-grade would also be torn apart by the surging energy.
With a light tap on the altar, Kurt awakened thirty senior disciples of the Nord family who were sitting cross-legged.
“Kill them,” He said sternly.
The thirty senior disciples of the Nord family exchanged glances. Simultaneously, they let out a roar and rushed towards the five disciples from the holy lands.
The five disciples from the holy lands sneered, completely unfazed.
Not only were the disciples from the holy lands of exceptional talent, but the resources they cultivated with were incomparable to those of ordinary mages and warriors. Moreover, they had renowned mentors to guide them, giving them a much deeper understanding of magic and battle qi than ordinary people.
With the same magic and battle qi, the power unleashed by the disciples from the holy lands was much greater.
Despite the unequal numbers, as soon as they clashed, five members of the Nord family fell. In other words, at that moment, each of the five disciples from the holy lands took down one opponent and evaded the attacks of the others.
“Use the Thunder Stones,” shouted Will Nord, who was among the thirty Nord family disciples.
Instantly, a barrage of Thunder Stones rained down towards the five disciples from the holy lands, who were gathered together.
“Boom!”
A violent explosion resounded, and although the triggered defensive magic shields on the bodies of the five disciples from the holy lands lit up, the ferocious shockwave instantly dispersed them. The remaining twenty-five Nord family members quickly divided themselves into groups of five to surround and eliminate the five disciples.
Evidently, they had planned this strategy in advance.
On the other hand, the five disciples from the holy lands had been assembled hastily, with no coordination or understanding among them. After being separated, they fought individually.
Kurt Nord gazed at the chaotic battle in the distance, his face expressionless.
At that moment, the magical beast companion of a disciple from the Beast Manor was suddenly seized with all the strength of a Nord family member, and in the next moment, the magic beast bit off his neck, spewing blood three feet high.
However, in that instant, the heart of the Beast Manor disciple was pierced. As soon as the owner died, the magical beast let out a mournful cry and was captured within the Beast Ring. This greatly increased the pressure on the remaining four disciples from the holy lands.
After a long battle, one by one, the Nord family’s disciples either died or lost their combat effectiveness, and the disciple from the Frost Ice Valley among the four disciples from the holy lands was killed.
Shortly after, a female disciple from the Phoenix Perching Palace lost her combat effectiveness.
Then, when the senior mage from Heavenly Mountain Peak unleashed a high-level magic that killed four Nord family members, he was ambushed in the moment of transition between offense and defense by a Nord member who had previously been critically injured and jumped up, resulting in his body being torn apart.
The battle was extremely bloody and brutal. The disciples of the five holy lands outside were filled with anger and sorrow. They could never have imagined that five elite disciples from the holy lands would be driven to such a desperate situation by thirty individuals of the same level from the secular world.
Now, only one senior warrior from the Dream Sea remained among the five disciples from, while the Nord family had only three members left, two warriors and one mage.
The outcome seemed to be without suspense. The disciple from the Dream Sea was not seriously injured, but the three Nord family members had all sustained significant injuries, with the mage barely able to stand.
At this moment, one of the Nord family’s senior warriors launched a fearless attack, while the other surviving warrior, Will Nord, seemed somewhat frightened. Although he charged forward with his brothers from the family, his footsteps lagged behind by half a beat.
“It’s about to end!” Many people outside had already shouted out in celebration of this brutal victory.
However, Yan Shengyi’s eyes narrowed, and her left hand clenched into a fist. She showed signs of worry.
On the other hand, Yao Rao smiled faintly. Although such a battle seemed like child’s play in her eyes, the fearlessness of the Nord family disciples had left a deep impression on her. This was a family that engraved their honor in their bones, and anyone who dared to provoke them would pay the price.
The warrior from Dream Sea roared ferociously and unleashed a dazzling aura of battle qi, directly cutting the first Nord family disciple who charged at him into several pieces. The lagging Will, however, narrowly escaped.
But in that moment, the Dream Sea warrior’s pupils contracted, and every hair on his body stood up as he felt the shadow of death looming over him.
