Chapter 2540: Chapter 2538: The Dead Rest

A terrifying force erupted directly from that palm, shattering the treasure light derived from the Chaos Sky-covering Mirror in an instant.

The astonishing Dark Power directly scattered the crowd.

Ethan Smith’s body crashed into a giant tree, a shriveled hand like a branch pressing against his back.

A force of Death swept through Ethan’s body. For an instant, Ethan felt the chaotic energy and life force within him being drained by the Death force, sweeping away and then trying to return to the undead body behind him.

“So you like to absorb, huh.”

Ethan lightly sent the Evil Eye behind him, fully releasing the Evil Eye’s desire.

For an instant, the dense Death force of the body behind him surged into the Evil Eye like a fountain.

A great suction force lit up from the tip of the Evil Eye Ghost Sword, drawing in countless Soul powers uncontrollably into the sword’s body.

Even some souls of powerful adversaries, after a fierce struggle, unwillingly entered, and the sword trembled violently as if the Divine Souls within were struggling terribly.

This dreadful power, compounded together, even with Ethan’s use of the Power of Six Major Acupoints, he could not hold the Ghost Sword.

And even so, the Ghost Sword continued to uncontrollably absorb this dreadful Divine Soul Power.

In that short moment, the Divine Soul Power absorbed by the Evil Eye had already exceeded the total from the entire Great war of the Wilson family previously.

“Bold! Soul Burning!”

Ethan roared in fury, fully illuminating the Evil Eye.

“Soul Ferry!”

A gigantic Soul Realm appeared above Ethan’s body like a rolling giant wheel, under the enhancement of this terrifying Divine Soul Power.

This time, the Soul Realm was stronger than ever, its dreadful power even surpassing Godslayer Dusk.

The Ghost World’s Soul Summoning Power engulfed Ethan, while dark energy surged like a tide on the Soul Realm.

Their divine senses could even see countless black chains materializing in the realm, exuding an aura of decay and death.

The chains were inlaid with numerous bones and skulls, each representing a soul corrupted by the Dark Power.

A terrifying suction force emanated from the realm, uncontrollably absorbing nearly thirty undead around.

The chains swiftly extended, entwining the target’s Divine Soul.

These black chains coiled and twisted like black pythons, tightly binding the souls of their targets.

“The Divine Soul of Hominini, you should not be struggling within this Misty Forest, transcend now.”

With Ethan’s Evil Eye stabbing out, the dark Iron Chains thoroughly shattered the souls of these thirty powerful human cultivators, allowing them to transcend completely, no longer struggling in the Misty Forest.

This strike also saved Renee Will and Caelan Russell who were being besieged.

“What a terrifying method of Divine Soul attack!”

At this moment, Caelan was also shocked, as methods of Divine Soul attacks were rare.

And such a wide-range attack as Ethan’s, with such tremendous power, was even more unheard of.

“Thank you, my friend, for saving us.”

Renee Will and West Hill softly expressed their gratitude, their eyes full of admiration.

“Did you craft this Blazing Sword, my friend?”

Mysterious Heaven’s expression changed, suddenly asking Ethan.

“No, this is a sword of sin crafted by the Evans Family in Sky City, which accidentally ended up in my hands as I intercepted it.”

“This Blazing Sword seems to have a hilt and sword treasure from the Witch Clan, although its power is vast, it hasn’t been fully controlled, and there’s a possibility of it turning against its owner, my friend, you must be cautious.”

Mysterious Heaven stared at the Evil Eye for a long time, gently reminding Ethan.

“Thank you, my friend, for pointing that out.”

The two from the Mysterious Sword Sect are no ordinary individuals; one has such terrifying sword skills, and the other has an eye for detail, seeing through the intricacies of the Evil Eye in just one glance.

Ethan was somewhat surprised, as the crafting of the Evil Eye was a closely guarded secret of the Evans Family.

Even if they were to perish completely, they wouldn’t dare reveal this information.

This Blazing Sword was forged with the entire bloodline of the Holmes Royal Family, and even the Evans Family wouldn’t dare invoke such monstrous wrath.

Mysterious Heaven likely saw the power of evil, so Ethan directly disclosed the background.

With the heritage of the Three Sects, they should be able to judge if what was said was true.

“Senior Brother Mysterious Heaven is an honorary disciple under Grandmaster Zhang Daoling of our Three Sects.

If it weren’t for the headmaster’s reluctance to let him leave, Senior Brother Mysterious Heaven might have been Granduncle Zhang’s successor, dispensing guidance to ordinary people is no small fortune.”

Caelan spoke proudly, finally feeling a sense of accomplishment for once.

“Enough with the nonsense, the earlier battle might have fully exposed us, West Hill put away the Chaos Sky-covering Mirror, now we should head full speed to our destination, no need to keep hiding. We have to find the target quickly.”

Mysterious Heart stepped on the Penny Oliver Sword, and his entire being shot like a stream of light towards the depths of the dark forest.

The dark creatures attempting to block the path were reduced to countless pieces of flesh falling to the ground.

“Such terrifying power, it seems like Mysterious Heart’s power was just the tip of the iceberg.”

Ethan followed behind, seeing in just a short time.

Several Fourth Rank Demon Beasts had already fallen under his sword, instantly realizing this guy’s strength was even more frightening than imagined.

Indeed, the four sects are like emperors in the shadows, also producing some prodigies.

Combined with the people from the Myriad Buddhas Sect he had encountered, their relative strengths seemed to show that these sect disciples of the Four Sects wielded even more fearsome power.

“Do the three sects have such a good relationship amongst each other?”

Generally, differing sects would have conflicts over interests, leading to extreme strife, but from what Ethan observed.

The two from the Mysterious Sword Sect were looking after the other four relatively well.

And among these three sects, there wasn’t much intrigue, something quite rare among sects.

In the Holy Region’s previous Monohorse Hall, even alliances were full of intrigue, rarely seen such harmonious relations.

“The Mysterious Sword Sect, Heavenly Genesis Sect, and Divine Will Sect all belong to the lineage of the Three Pure Ones Sect. However, due to internal conflict resulting in many deaths, the subsequent leaders decided on lasting peace as a rule.”

With Mysterious Heart leading the way, the others felt no pressure, West Hill took the opportunity to explain the history of the Four Sects to Ethan.

“Now that we’re here, can you enlighten me about the mission?”

Ethan threw out his question, curious about what mission required such strength and caution.

This question caused several people to involuntarily look towards Mysterious Heaven, as if waiting for him to answer Ethan’s inquiry.

“This actually relates to the Mysterious Heaven Path Reverend Saint, and the Purple Sun Saint.”

Mysterious Heart hesitated for a moment, still deciding to give Ethan an explanation.
