Chapter 1007 - 957: You’re in for a Spectacle!

"Three days have passed, what exactly is this vortex?"

"Could it truly be a heavenly opportunity?"

"A white vortex, this certainly symbolizes opportunity. I’ve heard of fellow cultivators obtaining opportunities amidst a strange white mist!"

"There’s not enough porridge to go around for all these monks, even if there is an opportunity, it can’t withstand the scramble!"

"Unheard of, unseen! Strange, too strange indeed!"

"Why is it that none of those powerful cultivators are seen throughout Qingcheng Mountain?"

Amidst the clamorous amazement and discussions,

someone mentioned the absence of the powerful cultivators.

Upon hearing this, many cultivators came to the realization.

Indeed, isn’t that so?

Looking around Qingcheng Mountain at this time, not to mention Mahayana cultivators, even those in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage were nowhere to be found. The highest cultivation level observed was only at the Body Integration Realm, and even that was rare, with most at the Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage, alongside some below the Body Integration Realm, at the Divinity Transformation Stage, though these Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators showed a thoughtful demeanor.

The so-called thoughtful demeanor was simply due to human nature and perception.

Apart from a few rare Body Integration cultivators, it was essentially these Divinity Transformation cultivators supporting the scene.

This also forced these Divinity Transformation cultivators to wonder: if this is a Heavenly Dao opportunity, why are Body Integration cultivators so few, Mahayana cultivators nonexistent, and even those Independent Immortals seeking the Heavenly Mechanism Path not present?

Even those in the Foundation Establishment Stage could sense it, rushing in droves hoping for a share, how could those powerful ones not sense it?

Something’s wrong, definitely wrong!

Perhaps the past few days of waiting would end up in vain?

Amid the furrowed brows and musings of these Divinity Transformation and Body Integration cultivators,

suddenly, cries of astonishment erupted from among the crowd.

"Someone? Someone has come out of the vortex?"

"What’s going on here?"

"Who exactly are these descending from the skies?"

Upon hearing this, those thoughtful cultivators immediately broke their concentration and looked up.

Only to see within the white vortex in the sky,

five figures hand in hand emerging from the vortex.

Just like that, they appeared before the eyes of these cultivators!

Because of Kunlun Oldster and the other two Earthlings, Qin Fan’s descending speed wasn’t fast; however, in this slow speed,

his face was quickly recognized by those cultivators.

"Shura Venerable!"

"Damn it, that’s- that’s Shura Venerable!"

"Shura Venerable isn’t dead, he’s back!"

"How is this possible, how is this possible!"

Wave after wave, exclamations of shock continuously erupted.

Instinctively,

due to the shadow Qin Fan cast in their minds,

all the cultivators withdrew in terror.

After all, the rumors portrayed this butcher’s bloodthirstiness as inhumane!

As someone who would massacre a city with the slightest disagreement, how could they not be frightened?

More importantly, the five great kingdoms of Cangqiong Continent were ravaged by this butcher for years, yet no one could ever bring him to justice!

They thought he had perished under the ninety-nine layers of tribulation during his ascension, who would have imagined he’d reappear in the world, right before their eyes after being away for so long?

At that moment, panic arose, chaos ensued, fear spread.

Once, in Cangqiong Continent, it was a common saying that as soon as you see the demon Shura Venerable, don’t worry about anything else, whether you’ve offended him or not, the best choice—the safest choice—is to run as far as you can.

From this saying, one can see what kind of existence he was to Cangqiong Continent!

So their terror wasn’t without reason.

A person’s reputation is like the shade of a tree.

In Cangqiong Continent, people often overlooked Qin Fan’s real name, referring to him only as Shura Venerable, a title brimming with the aura of a demon’s slaughter.

But just as their psychological shadows prompted a frenzied retreat,

in the chaotic crowd,

someone shouted, "Nascent Soul Early Stage? Shura Venerable’s cultivation regressed! He’s now only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage!"

What?

Nascent Soul Early Stage?

Shura Venerable is now only at Nascent Soul Early Stage?

This shout,

stopped many cultivators in their tracks who were about to retreat in fear.

They all turned to look up!

If Shura Venerable’s cultivation truly regressed to Nascent Soul Early Stage, there’s nothing to fear!

Not only is there nothing to fear, but on the contrary—they should eliminate the demon and uphold the path!

Though a dead camel is bigger than a horse, they wouldn’t face him alone!

Under the mass attack of countless Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and even Divinity Transformation and Body Integration cultivators, even the biggest, most resilient dead camel can’t withstand them!

The current priority is to confirm if he really has regressed to Nascent Soul Early Stage!

If so, he’s as good as dead!

In that instant, countless divine senses were unleashed toward Qin Fan!

When those assertive divine senses captured Qin Fan’s cultivation,

on Qingcheng Mountain,

deafening laughter suddenly erupted!

Nascent Soul Early Stage, truly only Nascent Soul Early Stage!

In the sky,

hearing those laughs below,

Qin Fan smirked playfully and said lightly, "Oldster, you’re in for a treat!"

"Boss, what do you mean?" Kunlun Oldster asked in confusion.

He too heard the laughter below, but didn’t know what they were laughing about.

Were they welcoming Qin Fan’s return?

Were they thrilled about Qin Fan’s comeback?

Kind of, yet kind of not.

Hmm—those laughs, they seem rather uncanny.

"Nothing much, just that you all get to witness the grace of cultivators, and also witness how this Heavenly Venerate slaughters!"

Qin Fan curled his mouth with a faintly wicked smile.

Behind, Liudao frowned.

He certainly didn’t consider himself a saint.

Yet seeing the thousands of cultivators below about to plunge into the abyss of death, he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pity.

Just now, when they extended their divine senses to perceive Qin Fan’s cultivation, how could Liudao not be aware?

Their initial attempt to flee turned into a laughing pause—its meaning was too obvious!

They intended to attack Qin Fan due to his regression in cultivation?

Ignorant, foolish!

This is blatant courting of death!

Although he was an Independent Immortal, even he wasn’t confident enough to fight Qin Fan in a life-and-death battle now.

And those ants below, how could they possibly stand a chance?

If they dare make a move, it would be like moths to a flame, seeking their own demise!

"Wait, is that an Independent Immortal at the back?"

A remarkably powerful Body Integration cultivator suddenly shouted with wide eyes.

Independent Immortal?

An Independent Immortal is associating with Shura Venerable?

But this confusion didn’t last long.

After merely a few breaths, the arrogant laughter resumed, "So what if he’s an Independent Immortal, dare he start a massacre? Haha!"

"An Independent Immortal wouldn’t dare make a move. The other three are nothing but useless trash! Shura Venerable has now regressed to the Nascent Soul Realm; this is our chance to eliminate the demon and uphold the path!"

As they spoke.

Some cultivators at the mid to late Nascent Soul Stage suddenly roared towards the descending Qin Fan.

"Shura Venerable, this day next year will be your death anniversary!"

"Daring to return with only Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivation, haha, Qin Fan, you’re courting death!"

"Raise swords, execute him!"

With a shout to raise swords and execute him resonating,

whoosh whoosh whoosh—

thousands upon thousands of flying swords shot from behind these cultivators, hovering over their heads.

"Execute him!"

In the next second,

these cultivators shouted excitedly.

They first formed seals with their hands, then released them, pressed their index and middle fingers together, and swung out!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

ten thousand swords immediately shot towards the five figures in the sky!

As for whether those other three were innocents, they didn’t care.

In the end, to put it simply, anyone beside Shura Venerable deserves to die!

If they don’t die, they will be a future threat!
