The Lord of Void and Real

Chapter 1696: Chapter 1692: Thunderous Baptism by Fire

“Booming rumble”

Suddenly, the sound of thunder rang out, and within the dark clouds, two gigantic vortices formed. Two colossal fox claws shot forth from within, not attacking anyone, but instead, like two massive pillars, they positioned themselves on the left and right sides of the valley entrance.

Immediately after, an enormous green fox head emerged from the dark clouds, its blood-stained maw blocking the valley entrance entirely, sealing off everyone’s path forward.

“No wonder those old foxes from Qingqiu didn’t come out themselves. They deliberately let us slay those fox spirits, allowing their residual souls to ascend into the air to be absorbed by this fox spirit,” Lu Huaming exclaimed angrily.

“When we finally were about to leave the valley, this fox spirit made its move. We’re almost depleted, while its strength soars from absorbing so many fox spirit remnants. At this rate, we stand no chance,” Bai Xiaotian said, unable to hold back his frustration.

Upon hearing this, the cultivators from various sects, whose heroic fervor had been ignited earlier, felt it dim considerably. After sensing the overwhelming breath of the fox spirit ahead, far surpassing the Taiyi middle stage, their hearts sank into despair.

“Lu Daoist, Bai Daoist, where are the elders of your sects? At this point, don’t hold back anymore. If they don’t come forth now, we’re really going to face total annihilation,” shouted an elder of the Xuanhuo Sect loudly.

The other cultivators immediately snapped to attention, shouting urgently as well.

The reason they dared to join this risky mission was their belief that sects like the Tang Dynasty Government and Hua Sheng Temple would never let a mere few disciples lead the charge in such a dangerous campaign against an entire race.
