Then, a shocking scene appeared before everyone.
An elder in a white robe was sitting in the lotus position in midair. He was sage-like, grey in the hair, and was emitting an extremely powerful energy.
Without a doubt, this was the omnipotent who was buried here.
Based on his posture, he was attempting a breakthrough. Or in other words, trying to get to immortality!
Ling Xian's eyes exploded with light. He continued to burn his lifespan to play the scene.
Han Qing Xue and the others seemed to have realized something. They all stared with their eyes wide at the playback.
After some time, the elder from the playback opened his eyes. Space instantly crumbled and heaven was flustered.
He looked afar into the sky, carrying confidence and excitement. Then, he summoned his energy and attempted his breakthrough to immortality!
At first, everything went smoothly. Whether it was the three disasters or the nine hardships, he successfully overcame them. This proved that this person had insane capabilities and was ready to step into immortality.
Just as he was about to succeed however, something changed!
A black band of energy emerged out of his body. It wasn't an enemy's sneak attack nor a god sent crisis. After the black band emerged, he puked out a fresh mouthful of blood.
Then, something unbelievable happened.
The black band of energy had corrosive abilities and began to eat away at the omnipotent's body like a predator feeding. It was chilling.
Within a few seconds' time, the omnipotent's body had been devoured. What remained was a shocking soul that was attempting to escape the pursuit of the energy.
Sadly, this black energy was far too devious and far too terrifying. Even for the elder, who had the ability to breakthrough to immortality, he had no energy to counter attack. The energy wrapped around him tightly and fed on his soul.
This infuriated him and made him desperate.
At that close second, he wrote "hate" on the wall, indicating the hatred he felt!
The scene stopped playing and disappeared automatically.
Ling Xian puked out blood. His breath was getting weak
But it was not time for him to worry about his injuries. All he could think about was the image of the elder being devoured.
An omnipotent!
An omnipotent who was breaking through to immortality was helpless against that black energy.
How unbelievable was that?
There was no enemy in sight and the black energy came from within his body. How eerie was this?
Even with Ling Xian's mentality, he felt cold from it and his entire body began to tremble.
As for Han Qing Xue and the others, they were terrified out of their wits and their entire bodies were shaking.
"That eerie black energy… what is it?"
Ling Xian's body turned even colder. He was now even more certain about his guess and he was now even more confused.
Without a doubt, this omnipotent failed to become an immortal due to the existence of the black energy. So, what exactly was this?
The most eerie thing about all this is that the black energy came from within the elder's body!
That was the part that confused Ling Xian the most. This was also what was terrifying to him.
An omnipotent didn't even notice the existence of such a thing inside his body. That was something that terrified everyone!
"It's a curse? Or an enemy's trap?"
Ling Xian mumbled, trying to think positively. However, a guess kept on flashing across his brain.
Being cursed or being set up by an enemy are not scary. What would be terrifying is that within every living being's body exists that black energy!
How terrifying would that be? Try to imagine it.
Ling Xian didn't dare to imagine. He was terrified that if he keeps on thinking about it, his resolve will soften. Therefore, he suppressed down the coldness he felt and didn't think anymore.
One thing was for sure though, the elder's hatred was towards the black air. That was what stopped him from breaking through!
Just then, Han Qing Xue and the others all recollected themselves. They saw Ling Xian, who was covered in blood.
Instantly, everyone's eyes shone and they all looked like they were thinking bad thoughts.
Xu Chuan in particular, even began to laugh out loud and didn't even bother to conceal his devious intentions.
"Haha, the gods are helping me in getting rid of you! One less person to share treasures with!"
