This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Now, the valley had suddenly become a forbidden area specifically for high-level cultivators; the moment he would enter the valley, the Demon Spirit Tomb would emit a blood-colored divine light to attack him.

He was unable to enter the valley anymore, and once he lost the advantage of terrain, when the rationality and fear of these demon beasts were diluted by frenzy and they charged at the formation regardless of their lives, he was absolutely incapable of stopping all the demon beasts.

He had originally anticipated that he could at least buy over two days' time for Dantai Qingrun and the others.

But who would have thought that just half a day had passed, and due to the bizarre changes within the Demon Spirit Tomb, the situation had undergone an unexpected twist.

Whoosh!

Just as Beiming True Venerable was lost in thought and anxiety, two figures suddenly appeared in his line of sight, bringing an immediate joy to his face.

It was Dantai Qingrun and Xian Huaibi.

The two emerged twinkling from the Demon Spirit Tomb and, seeing the encirclement of demon beasts around the valley, were momentarily stunned.

They had only entered the Demon Spirit Tomb for half a day; how had the outside become like this?

Both were somewhat incredulous.

Under the watchful eyes of many demon beasts, the two flew to Beiming True Venerable's side.

"How are things?" Beiming True Venerable asked hastily.

"Li Venerable is dead, and all of the Underworld Cultivators inside the Demon Spirit Tomb have been exterminated by us," Dantai Qingrun reported, stepping forward and handing over Li Venerable's Storage Ring, "This is his Storage Ring."

"Good, good!" Beiming True Venerable was overjoyed and did not skimp on his praise, "You've made a great contribution again, truly living up to my high expectations!"

"Thank you for your high regard, True Venerable. However, eighty percent of the credit for this great battle merit belongs to Lu Qingshan; I only did some insignificant work," Dantai Qingrun didn't claim the credit for himself and was very sincere.

"Since it's your man who made a great contribution, you naturally deserve credit too." Upon hearing Dantai Qingrun speak thus, Beiming True Venerable then remembered Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian and quickly followed up, "What about the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators who entered the Demon Spirit Tomb with you? Why didn't they come out together? Could it be that something happened?"

Dantai Qingrun shook his head, cautiously scanned the demon beasts that were eyeing them greedily but temporarily dared not act, and transmitted a message to Beiming True Venerable, explaining in detail the events that occurred within the Demon Spirit Tomb.

After understanding the secrets of the Demon Spirit Tomb, Beiming True Venerable was suddenly enlightened.

The call that these demon beasts had heard must have been from the Primordial Spirit Pearl.

No wonder the emergence of the Demon Spirit Tomb had caused such a commotion and was so contrary to common sense.

It seemed that the Gengjin Tiger King, while constructing its tomb, had intended to make it a place of legacy as well, hence the deliberate arrangement.

By intentionally creating a loud noise, it attracted the demon beasts from the Spirit Mountain ranges to come, while using the Primordial Spirit Pearl to call the demon beasts into the tomb, like raising gu insects, with the strongest beast remaining in the end eligible to receive its Demon Spirit legacy.

It was also because the Rat Tyrant had begun to accept the Demon Spirit legacy that the Demon Spirit Tomb underwent such great changes, and the Primordial Spirit Pearl issued a call to attract all demon beasts to join the competition.

Only the demon beast that could defeat all other competitors and survive till the end would be eligible for the Demon Spirit legacy left by the Gengjin Tiger King.

The only restriction was that only beasts below Fourth Grade were allowed to receive the legacy.

Beasts exceeding this level of strength approaching the Demon Spirit Tomb, would be indiscriminately attacked by the aura of extermination, just like him.

Understanding the current situation, Dantai Qingrun's expression turned solemn, and her usually calm mind was finally thrown into disarray, "True Venerable, Lu Qingshan has made a great contribution to the Tower of Guardianship. We cannot let these demon beasts enter the tomb; otherwise, facing so many demon beasts, Lu Qingshan is likely to die within the Demon Spirit Tomb."

Beiming True Venerable's face was stern and earnest, as he promised, "The Tower of Guardianship has never failed to reward those with merit; of course, I will do my utmost to stop these demon beasts."

But then, Beiming True Venerable sighed, "However, I can only do my best; I can't promise anything."

Dantai Qingrun pursed her lips, with nothing to say.

Without further thought, she immediately began to operate her Cultivation Technique to expel the evil aura entwined around the surface of her Divine Soul.

Only by eradicating this evil aura would she be able to re-enter the tomb and assist Lu Qingshan when these demon beasts broke into the Demon Spirit Tomb.

But what she did not expect was that just as she had begun to operate her Cultivation Technique, Rat Tyrant suddenly clutched its head in panic and shouted, "True Venerable, the call has intensified!"

Beiming True Venerable's gaze was sharp as lightning, staring intently at Rat Tyrant. A gray light shot out from his eyes into the Rat Tyrant's forehead, and Rat Tyrant immediately fainted.

Dantai Qingrun paid no attention to this but hurriedly turned her gaze to the many demon beasts that, intimidated by Beiming True Venerable's prestige, dared not take any action.

Their steps began to slowly move.

Flap, flap!

Finally, the first demon beast, crazed and reckless, appeared.

In the sky, the Black Scale Eagle that had arrived first could no longer hold back. It flapped its wings, whipping up a gale, and rushed toward the entrance of the Demon Spirit Tomb in the valley.

Boom!

Beiming True Venerable's eyes flashed with a piercing cold light, as a thunderbolt appeared out of nowhere, striking the Black Scale Eagle and instantly knocking it from the sky.

The flames generated by the lightning started to burn on the Black Scale Eagle, turning its plummeting form into a fireball.

However, this scene did not instill fear in the demon beasts.

At this moment, the savage beasts began to surge toward the valley regardless of danger, dense and unstoppable like a tide.

Nothing could curb the violence in the hearts of these demon beasts.

Roar—Roar—Roar——

Howl—Howl—Howl——

Hiss—Hiss—Hiss——

The various roars of the demon beasts echoed one after another, shaking the forest sea in the mountain range.

The vast momentum of their charge stirred up clouds of dust.

The demon beasts rushed toward Beiming True Venerable, determined to break past him and enter the Demon Spirit Tomb.

Beiming True Venerable bellowed, his protective robe moving without wind, golden Taoist patterns shining brightly, safeguarding him.

At the same time, a purple Bronze Furnace flew out from within his body, spinning in the air and rapidly enlarging.

The outer wall of the Bronze Furnace was adorned with lingering thunderbolts.

"Kill!" Beiming True Venerable's long eyebrows stood on end as he formed seals with his hands, and a beam of Spiritual Light shot from his hand, hitting the Bronze Furnace and causing it to shake violently—inside, a piercing explosion sounded.

Crackle! Crackle!

In the next instant, the mouth of the Bronze Furnace faced the demon beasts, and a sea of thunder roared out like an inverted galaxy.

In this moment, between Heaven and Earth, everything was blanketed in the blinding light of the lightning.

The endless thunderbolts, dense and flickering, struck toward the onrushing tide of beasts.

Beiming True Venerable was now going all out.

Under the divine might of the thunder, more than a dozen vicious birds became fireballs and fell from the sky.

A crocodile with a broad mouth, fangs, and scale-covered body was torn in half by the thunderbolt, splattering blood everywhere, a sight too gruesome to behold.

The scene was chaotic, and not a single demon beast was a match for Beiming True Venerable.

But the purpose of these demon beasts was never to fight Beiming True Venerable to the death; they simply sought to get past him to enter the Demon Spirit Tomb.

With so many demon beasts surging simultaneously, not even his strength could stop them all.

A golden-haired rhinoceros, standing four to five zhang tall with a single large horn at its brow, sparking with electricity, and a pair of huge, blood-red eyes, was at the forefront. It moved at extreme speed, evaded the thunder strike, and became the first to slip through the net, entering the valley before dashing unhesitatingly into the Demon Spirit Tomb and vanishing from sight.

Where there's one, there's a second. Following the golden-haired rhinoceros, more and more demon beasts climbed over the bodies of others, escaping from Beiming True Venerable's grasp and breaking into the Demon Spirit Tomb. Experience tales with empire

Among them were Second Grade and Third Grade demon beasts, definitely not in short supply.

Meanwhile, Dantai Qingrun, who was similarly using all his methods to stop these demon beasts from infiltrating the tomb, felt an acute sense of urgency for the first time in the face of this situation.

So many demon beasts entering the tomb, heading straight for the Demon Spirit inheritance—what was Lu Qingshan to do?
