From the depths of that rift valley, rumbling vibrations echoed.
At the same time, massive waves of surging black Yin Qi, like a great tide, poured out, obscuring the sky and covering the sun.
Even the light of the stars in the sky was concealed.
That Yin Qi was extremely vicious and malevolent; even from a distance, it made people feel a chill to the bone, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
What was even more eerie and terrifying was that within the surging black Yin Qi, the sound of a thousand armies and ten thousand horses seemed to emanate.
Footsteps and hoofbeats thundered ceaselessly.
Then, to the astonishment of the many forces present, teams of Yin Soldiers and Ghost Horses marched forth with mighty Aura, threatening to crack the very earth.
"Yin Soldiers crossing!"
Seeing this scene, an old Source Master couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
Previously, there were rumors that some people had seen Yin Soldiers appear in the depths of the West Mausoleum Divine Mine.
And now, looking at these vast Yin Soldiers, many Cultivators felt their scalps tingle.
Between heaven and earth, dark clouds swirled.
And these teams of Yin Soldiers seemed to have emerged from the Hell of Yama.
This scene was truly chilling to behold.
"Everyone, there's no need to be nervous. These Yin Soldiers are formed from the condensation of Yin Qi in the dark and filthy places beneath the West Mausoleum Divine Mine, nourishing corpses and giving rise to them. They are not entirely invincible."
"To delve deeper, we must eliminate these Yin Soldiers."
Jiang Yi spoke, adopting the tone of a person in charge.
However, with the Earth Master lineage's Legacy here, coupled with his Earth Extremity Yin Eyes, it made some people presenthave to believe him.
"Then what are we hesitating for? Kill!"
Zong Hong, King Xu, and other Earth Emperor Palace battle generals were expressionless, showing no fear.
They had brought many people and various secret treasures this time, confident they could handle this situation.
The Cultivators from other Western Heaven Realm Dao lineages, such as Qingyun Grotto-Heaven and Baiyue Dao, also charged out simultaneously.
If they retreated here, they wouldn't need to continue forward at all.
In the rift valley, the Yin Soldiers and Ghost Horses possessed a formidable Aura, like a steel torrent, surging forth, threatening to shatter the earth, with Evil Qi filling the sky.
Terrifying killing intent swept through, seemingly transforming into a bloody mist, permeating the area.
The Cultivators from various forces clashed with these Yin Soldier teams, immediately causing a ripple.
However, what surprised people was that after just one encounter, some Cultivators were directly beheaded by the Yin Soldiers' iron halberds and long pikes.
More importantly, these Yin Soldiers also carried a special Evil Qi energy.
This Evil Qi, upon entering the body, directly strangled and shattered the Cultivator's Primordial Spirit, making its destructive power extremely terrifying.
"Damn it, these Yin Soldiers are actually so powerful!"
"We underestimated them!"
Some Cultivators couldn't help but say.
Soon, a brutal slaughter began.
Although this team, composed of various forces, was extremely strong, the Yin Soldiers rushing out from the depths of the rift valley were also extraordinary.
As the two sides battled, heaven and earth trembled.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression was calm; he did not make a move.
Huang Qinger, Hao Ren, Luo Luo, Wu De, Cai Shiyun, and others were all by his side.
Sword Wanjué, however, couldn't resist the urge to act and directly made a move, his Sword Qi crisscrossing, opening a path forward.
The team began to advance slowly.
However, the casualties were not small.
Seeing how slow the progress was, Zong Hong frowned deeply.
Then, he conjured a secret treasure, a purple talisman.
When this talisman was cast, a terrifying purple light burst forth, destroying everything in its path.
Ahead, a grand path was indeed plowed open, leading directly to the depths of the rift valley.
"As expected of the True Disciple of the Earth Emperor Palace Saint King, even a casual secret treasure possesses such astonishing power..."
This scene made everyone around sigh with admiration.
The Earth Emperor Palace's foundation was indeed deep.
"Hmph..."
Zong Hong snorted coldly, his peripheral vision glancing at Jun Xiaoyao.
However, upon seeing Jun Xiaoyao's expressionless face, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Zong Hong had already made up his mind.
If Jun Xiaoyao was sensible and handed over the incomplete immortal root, then all would be well.
If he still wasn't sensible, he wouldn't be able to leave the West Mausoleum Divine Mine alive.
And next, everyone took the opportunity to speed up their advance, delving deeper into the rift valley.
However, what made everyone's expressions change slightly was that after Zong Hong conjured his secret treasure and eliminated many Yin Soldiers, a continuous tide of Yin Soldiers still surged from behind.
"Quickly go deeper, otherwise, I'm afraid there will be no chance!"
Seeing this scene, all the Cultivators knew that they had to finish the battle quickly and could not delay here.
Otherwise, not only would they not see any treasures, but they might not even be able to truly enter the depths of the West Mausoleum Divine Mine.
At this point, the various forces also displayed their Divine Abilities.
From Qingyun Grotto-Heaven, that young Prodigy, Qingyun Holy Child, conjured a whisk.
With a single sweep, the myriad threads on the whisk seemed to transform into Law divine chains, piercing through the Void Realm and striking the Yin Soldiers.
And the Baiyue Holy Maiden of Baiyue Dao also conjured a Magical Artifact resembling a full moon; its light scattered, and the Yin Qi melted like ice and snow.
These ancient Dao lineages of the Western Heaven Realm, able to be passed down to this day, clearly had some tricks up their sleeves and were not without substance.
Jun Xiaoyao still did not make a move.
There was no need for him to act here yet.
His peripheral vision, however, noticed Jiang Yi.
Perhaps because Jiang Yi possessed the Earth Extremity Yin Eyes, no Yin Soldiers attacked his side.
In fact, Jun Xiaoyao even perceived that Jiang Yi was actually using the Yin Qi, Evil Qi, and so on to Cultivate his Earth Extremity Yin Eyes.
"As expected of a World Child, Cultivating on the battlefield."
Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly in his heart.
He did not stop him.
The harder Jiang Yi Cultivated, the more he would realize later how great the gap between him and Jun Xiaoyao truly was.
And with everyone's combined efforts, they finally delved deep into the rift valley.
Looking around, within the rift valley, there was a huge cave entrance, like the gaping maw of an ancient Vicious Beast.
Surging Yin Qi poured out from it.
Many Yin Soldiers also emerged from within.
"Kill!"
The shouts of battle echoed through the sky here, and all forces displayed their methods, aiming to break into the West Mausoleum Divine Mine.
And up until now, Jun Xiaoyao still had not made a move.
Because he was surrounded by a group of people, and there were also some Cultivators from the Wu Family and Cai Family nearby.
However, when everyone painstakingly fought their way into the cave, they were somewhat dumbfounded.
Inside the cave, black mist swirled, and there was also a peculiar field that suppressed the Divine Soul.
Looking around, there were densely packed, numerous passages, like an ant's nest.
It was simply impossible to distinguish the true path.
Moreover, a continuous stream of Yin Soldiers surged from all the passages.
This situation caused even the expressions of Zong Hong, King Xu, and other Earth Emperor Palace Cultivators to change.
"Jiang Yi, quickly use your methods to investigate the path!"
Zong Hong shouted at Jiang Yi.
"Understood."
Jiang Yi nodded, and runes began to flicker in his eyes.
Coupled with the methods of the Earth Master lineage, this small test would not stump him.
Or rather, this place was precisely a blessed land where he could feel like a fish in water.
