745 Become a Demon?
At first, they didn’t really care. After all, the local forces of the southern warzone would send reinforcements in a much more timely manner than those from Heavenly Court Island.
As long as the reinforcements arrived, they would not be afraid even if these five hundred powerhouses in the later stage of the Celestial Realm wanted to attack.
However, to everyone’s surprise, Heavenly Court Island, which had been particularly wary of the barrier, suddenly decided to break through.
If they weren’t stupid, they must have figured out the situation inside and dared to take action only after they had a certain degree of confidence.
Looking at the anxious appearance of her subordinates, Wei Tong’s brows furrowed slightly, and her tone could not help but become heavier.
“What else can we do? Let alone us. Even if we multiply the current combat power of all parties by ten times, we still could not take advantage of those guys!”
How could Wei Tong not be anxious?
The thing inside the barrier was a Divine Weapon!
She had grown up under the military’s tutelage and had seen many top officials.
She had even seen the Supremes in the military more than once.
However, she had never seen a Divine Weapon before.
She has only heard that the military’s strongest God of War has once displayed a Divine Weapon in the foreign battleground. That’s the only Divine Weapon in the military’s records. Other than that rumor, there was no real information.
However, there was a Divine Weapon right in front of them.
Not just Wei Tong but everyone else present couldn’t hide their anxiousness when they saw Heavenly Court Island move.
The members of the various forces were so anxious that they couldn’t stay still.
Some circled on the spot, while others tried to move forward, but after thinking about it, they retreated unwillingly.
Some even cursed under their breath, hoping the barrier was strong enough to kill everyone from Heavenly Court Island.
The Heavenly Court Island members had taken note of the reactions from the local forces.
However, they were all filled with disdain.
They strode to the front of the barrier, ignoring the group outside, whose eyes were almost red.
“Captain, the energy that formed this barrier is too strange. Do you want to…”
A Practitioner at the peak of the Celestial Realm came to the side of the white-robed young man. Before he could finish speaking, the white-robed young man had already reached his hand into the barrier.
It shocked everyone, but what happened next quickly calmed them down.
“As expected.” The white-robed young man looked at his arm inside the barrier but was not too surprised.
Through the detailed data he had just detected, he had discovered that although the defensive barrier’s energy was strange, its strength was not enough to pose much of a threat to them.
“Let’s go. This barrier may be a fatal threat to those below the Celestial Realm, but to us, it’s just a little bit of trouble.”
Under the white-robed young man’s lead, the group from Heavenly Court Island gradually relaxed.
Five hundred powerhouses at the later stage of the Celestial Realm and above swarmed in.
The people could only watch as the Heavenly Court Island cultivators disappeared into the barrier in the blink of an eye.
Many people from the southern warzone could no longer sit still.
“Detestable! When will our people arrive?”
“I’ve just received a reply. Reinforcements from all sides have arrived at the edge of the space blockade. It’s estimated that they will need another fifteen minutes!”
People from almost every faction were talking about the same news.
“This damned spatial seal. That Meng Tu fellow is sick in the head!”
The group was sitting on needles. They no longer referred to Meng Tu, who had sealed off this space, as Lord Emissary. Instead, they called him by name.
On their way here, they had relied on flying slowly.
Now, the reinforcements they called for had to enjoy the same treatment.
“No, we can’t wait like this. We don’t understand the situation inside at all. We must enter to check out the situation before the reinforcements arrive!”
All the people were ready to make a move.
Everyone was clear that when fighting for treasures, the more information one had, the more advantage one had.
“Alright, leave one person behind to wait for reinforcements. The rest of you, follow me!”
It had been over a minute since the people from Heavenly Court Island entered the barrier. If they went in now, the chances of running into them were slim.
And even if they did, as long as they didn’t do anything dangerous, the people from Heavenly Court Island wouldn’t do anything to them.
If the people from Heavenly Court Island wanted to kill them, they would have already died outside.
When one party started to move, the other parties couldn’t stay calm either.
All of a sudden, each side quickly chose one person to stay, and the others rushed toward the barrier.
The situation inside the barrier was unknown. If they entered early, they might get the Divine Weapon directly.
The group closest to the barrier was the Wang family.
Although they had lost their leader on this trip, they still reacted immediately when they saw the actions of the various parties.
The first to be hit was an Earth Immortal. He was the first to reach the barrier.
He didn’t think much and jumped into it.
When the people behind saw this, they weren’t willing to fall behind and were about to charge into the barrier.
Suddenly, they heard a scream coming from inside the barrier.
The barrier blocked their sight and divine sense, but not the sound.
“Ah! No! No! How could it be like this!?”
The voice that came was shrill, fearful, and desperate.
One could even faintly hear the low growls of demons.
A few of the faster ones didn’t have time to stop and plunged into the barrier.
Not long after, the same miserable screams sounded again.
For a moment, the people at the back felt a chill in their hearts, and their hair stood on end.
What was happening inside?
Those who had just entered were at least in the Earth Immortal Realm!
With such strength, he still let out a terrifying scream in just a few seconds.
Obviously, most of them were already dead.
But what was inside?
Why didn’t the people from Heavenly Court Island make any noise when they entered?
Everyone looked at each other and could no longer suppress the fear in their hearts. They turned around and started to escape.
However, at this moment, the barrier squirmed, and a figure quickly jumped out.
He retreated from the barrier, his face full of fear.
“Second Brother!”
Seeing the person who ran out, the people from Ideal Island immediately rushed towards him.
Seeing this, the members of the other forces also gathered around.
Everyone gathered, wanting to know what happened inside.
“It’s too scary! How terrifying!”
The man who had escaped looked at the barrier, his body still trembling.
“What happened just now?” The surrounding crowd asked nervously.
“He’s dead! They’re all dead!”
The survivor grabbed the collar of the person next to him and was so stimulated that he lost control.
The person caught gave him a tight slap and then shook him hard. “Wake up! Hurry up and tell us what’s going on inside!”
As if the pain had stimulated his nerves, the survivor returned to his senses and looked at the group around him.
Then, he pointed at the barrier with a look of fear.
“He’s dead! They were all dead! There was something strange about that barrier! It can turn people into demons!”
When they heard the words they could not make sense of, fear rose in the hearts of those people.
The people who entered the barrier would become demons?
But why was this guy fine?
The leader from Ideal Island suppressed his fear and patted the survivor’s arm.
“Be more specific.”
The survivors gradually recovered, but the fear on his face did not decrease.
“I-When I went in just now, I saw the Wang family’s guy suddenly start to scream. His body suddenly tore apart, and the limbs of a demon came out!
“No, that’s not right! It didn’t come out, but his body turned into a demon!”
The survivor yelled again.
The people around him quickly comforted him. After he calmed down, they continued to ask, “How did they become demons? And how did you get out?”
“I don’t know… I don’t know.”
The survivor shook his head.
“I only saw them being torn apart by the thing inside the barrier after they turned into demons! I don’t know what’s inside.”
