Eternal Immortal Clan: It All Started When I Married My Junior Sister!

194: By cleverly employing a secret technique, we achieved a resounding victory in our first battle!Blade followed Chen Xu’s gaze, his pupils shrinking slightly.

He saw the edges of the Ascending Immortal Gate and Tianyu Holy Land camps.

They were filled with injured Cultivators.

Some were covered in rot, their skin riddled with black pustules; some were delirious, screaming desperately as they were pinned down by their fellow disciples; others appeared uninjured on the outside but had vacant eyes, clearly having suffered severe damage to their Divine Souls.

From time to time, several corpses were carried out.

”This...”

Blade gasped: ”We haven’t even fought our way in yet, and so many people have been lost?”

”The consequence of being greedy for merit and advancing blindly.”

Chen Xu said indifferently: ”The Devilish Qi in this Black Mist Swamp is not something ordinary spiritual energy shields can block. Xu Sen and Mo Yuan were in a hurry to claim the top credit, so they must have sent a vanguard to force their way in, only to end up battered and bruised.”

”Pass down the order.”

Chen Xu turned to look at the generals behind him: ”The entire army is to station on the spot and activate the concealment Formation. Without my order, no one is allowed to step into the swamp. Violators will be executed!”

”Yes!”

...Night fell, but this was meaningless for the Black Mist Swamp.

Because this place was an eternal night to begin with.

The Chen Family camp was quiet, forming a sharp contrast with the brightly lit and boisterous clamor of the other two camps in the distance.

The Ascending Immortal Gate side was still constantly trying to use various Magic Treasures to test the depth of the black mist.

Various colored treasure lights exploded in the dark night like brilliant fireworks, yet they were unable to advance even an inch.

Chen Xu walked out of the camp tent alone.

He didn’t bring any attendants, just wearing a green robe, seemingly strolling leisurely toward the edge of the swamp.

”Family Head...”

Lan Shuyao, who was in a hidden sentry post, was about to reveal herself when she was stopped by Chen Xu raising his hand.

”I’m going in to take a look; you all guard the camp well.”

Chen Xu’s voice rang in her mind: ”If anyone from those two families comes to fish for information, just say I am in closed-door cultivation to comprehend a way to break the Formation, and I won’t see anyone.”

After saying that, his figure was like a wisp of green smoke, merging into the night.

Arriving at the edge of the swamp, that nauseating aura instantly became ten times stronger.

The ground beneath his feet had turned into soft black mud, making a ”squelch squelch” sound with every step.

It was as if someone were chewing rotten meat in his ear.

The black mist in front of him tumbled and surged.

Chen Xu reached out his hand, and as his fingertips just touched the black mist, the protective spiritual light on his fingertips made a ”sizzling” sound.

It was like cold water being poured into a hot oil pan.

”The corrosiveness is very strong, and...”

Chen Xu withdrew his hand, looking at the trace of black aura remaining on his fingertip: ”It carries a strong mental pollution.”

If an ordinary Cultivator were tainted by this thing, first their protective Magic Treasures would be damaged, then their spiritual power would be defiled, and finally, their sanity would be lost, turning them into a madman who only knows how to slaughter.

No wonder those two families suffered heavy losses; this was simply not a pit that could be filled by human wave tactics.

But Chen Xu did not shrink back.

He took a deep breath and stepped out, his entire being directly vanishing into the ink-thick black mist.

Hum—!

As soon as he entered, the surrounding world instantly changed.

It wasn’t pure darkness, but a multicolored, blurred state.

That was because the Devilish Qi in the air was too dense, so dense that it produced some kind of bizarre hallucination.

Countless shrill roars came to his ears, like countless vengeful spirits seeking his life.

That feeling was like being thrown into a giant stomach bag filled with strong acid.

Pressure from all directions squeezed in simultaneously, trying to digest this intruder completely.

The spiritual power inside Chen Xu’s body instinctively wanted to prop up a shield.

But he forcibly suppressed this urge.

”Come then, let me see just how much weight this so-called Forbidden Ground actually carries.”
