Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

"Who dares to extinguish my orthodoxy?" Everyone present was taken aback.

The Divine Cave of Lingxu Cave not only truly exists but seems to contain living people or Demon Fiends inside.

"Is it the ancestor of Lingxu Cave?"

Wei Fan had already secretly communicated with the Ten Thousand Dao Bell. The existence time of Lingxu Cave has exceeded one hundred thousand years. If the entity within the Divine Cave is truly their ancestor, it is likely an unimaginable existence.

Not only him, Xuanyuan Changkong, Mu Yi, and several others also grew nervous. The Sword Hero had already gripped the Imperial Battle Halberd, ready to revive it at any moment.

However, he noticed that the few old men had their eyes shining brightly.

"Is there something inside that attracts them?"

Wei Fan was puzzled, but it was not appropriate to ask more since even Xuanyuan Changkong and Mu Yi, two people from the Martial Emperor Family, did not know the old men’s intentions. Even if he asked shamelessly, he probably wouldn’t get anything out of them.

However, if there is a fortuitous encounter inside, he definitely wants to participate.

"Rumble..."

At this moment, the Lingxu Divine Cave began to shake, expanding and contracting as if something inside was trying to burst out.

The Essence Qi surged to the sky, causing the Great Dao to tremble. The space showed scenes of collapse, and things like meridians shone with flowing energy.

"Boom!"

In the next moment, a dark, large hand stretched out from inside, emanating terrifying waves towards Wei Fan and the others.

"Die!"

A low growl swept over, with evil energy covering the sky and earth. Everyone’s Primordial Spirit trembled as if it would shatter in the next moment.

The void cracked, the elements of earth, water, wind, and fire evolved and alternated, ultimately returning to chaos.

The large hand was withered and thin, covered in black hair, like it had been moldy for hundreds of years. Wei Fan could barely resist the urge to unleash the Ten Thousand Dao Bell.

Because the aura emitted by the large hand had already surpassed the Saint Realm, without the true form of the Ten Thousand Dao Bell, it would be impossible to deal with the opponent.

Wei Ying, An Shanhe, and others glowed all over, their powers surged, and they had already begun gathering their strength. The Sword Hero, holding the Imperial Battle Halberd, also began infusing power into the Imperial weapon, intending to revive it.

"Do not act rashly!"

At this moment, the Saint King old man of the Mu Family raised his hand to stop everyone from launching an attack.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the Ten Thousand Dao shook and one Dao after another appeared, the power of the Great Dao fluctuating incessantly.

Lian flowers grew from the void, auspicious energy emerged, and a colossal Dao penetrated the heavens, emanating overwhelming golden light.

The heavens and earth trembled, the stars appeared, resonating together, rotating around the Great Dao.

Everyone’s Heart Spirit shuddered, reverence arose in their hearts, and they only wanted to kneel down in worship.

"Martial Emperor!"

Wei Fan’s heart stirred; this was his first time witnessing a powerhouse of this level. He hurriedly concealed his Primordial Spirit’s aura, fearing that the other might discover his cultivation of the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations.

The Martial Emperor’s divine might is immeasurable. He dared not gamble on the Martial Emperor’s methods, nor gamble on whether this Martial Emperor was benevolent.

The other might be good, but in front of the technique like the Divine Silkworm Nine Transformations that can lead directly to divinity, few people’s nature could withstand such a test.

"Oh heavens, I’m about to see a Martial Emperor powerhouse!"

"It must be the descent of the Martial Emperor. I never thought I would witness a Martial Emperor powerhouse in my lifetime."

"Martial Emperor!"

...

There was more than just Wei Fan seeing a Martial Emperor powerhouse for the first time. People in the distance were shouting, showing fanatical expressions.

The Emperor’s Aura permeated the world, its overbearing presence was irresistible. Many people kneeled directly, only Wei Fan and his group of Saint Realm powerhouses managed to control their instincts, preventing themselves from kneeling.

Although they didn’t kneel, all of them, including Wei Fan, cupped their hands in respect to the Martial Emperor.

This was a scene of shock: even those disciples of Lingxu Cave who were captured couldn’t help but kneel.

The large hand that had seized Lingxu Cave earlier was only a fleeting presence and had not exhibited Emperor’s might. Only at this moment did everyone understand the terror of a Martial Emperor powerhouse; to kill a Saint Realm could be a mere thought for them.

Even the Saint King old man of the Mu Family showed a troubled expression under the presence of the Martial Emperor’s aura.

Suddenly, the golden Dao flashed, and a silhouette walked out from it along the Dao. Time and space seemed to freeze; everything in the world slowed down, even thoughts followed suit.

The figure had flowing long hair over his shoulders, a towering, majestic man with deep, vast eyes like the starry sky.

He seemed to be the center of the world, the ruler of the Great Dao, with Ten Thousand Dao circling him, resonating, proactively extending chains of order to connect with him.

Amidst the weaving of Laws, a golden lotus appeared beneath his feet, lifting his majestic body.

"Perish!"

The Mysterious Martial Emperor let out a low growl, his eyes radiating a divine light more dazzling than the scorching sun.

The next moment, he unleashed a punch, with divine light covering the sky, the fist aimed at the pitch-black giant hand.

The fist was not large, yet at this moment, everyone’s heart spirit was filled with it, seeing nothing else but the fist.

"Boom!"

The pitch-black giant hand shattered, disintegrating as if it had never appeared.

"Emperor level experts are battling!"

Everyone snapped back to reality, their expressions changing drastically. The power of a Martial Emperor could easily turn a continent into ruins, so watching an emperor-level battle this close was a path to death.

However, the expected wave of destruction did not occur. The fist suppressed everything, shattering the pitch-black hand, then continued forcefully, penetrating into the Lingxu Divine Cave.

The Divine Cave trembled, erupting with Dao Runes, tides of Dao Yun surged, space collapsed, revealing terrifying cracks filled with colors, but it didn’t explode, astonishingly absorbing a punch from a Martial Emperor powerhouse without damage.

"What kind of existence is this Divine Cave?"

Everyone was shocked, curious about the true nature of this Divine Cave of Lingxu, which didn’t break under a punch from a Martial Emperor.

"Follow me!"

The Mysterious Martial Emperor suddenly spoke, then in the next moment, stepped onto the Great Dao and disappeared into the cave.

The sky-wide Martial Emperor ripples dissipated, the terrifying pressure finally vanished, everyone heaved a sigh of relief, and those kneeling on the ground stood up.

"Roar... Hurry, this is our last chance!"

A few old men shouted bizarrely, diving into the Divine Cave and disappearing.

Wei Fan’s heart moved, he too wanted to rush into the Divine Cave. Legend had it that the founder of the Lingxu Cave encountered this very cave and was transformed by the innate essence qi pouring out from within, eventually achieving the honor of Martial Emperor and establishing the Lingxu Cave’s Dao. There might be opportunities inside, or else those old men wouldn’t charge in like they were injected with adrenaline.

"You must not come in!"

However, at this moment, the voice of that Saint King old man from the Mu family transmitted from within the cave, warning those outside not to enter, giving no further explanation.

At the same time, the storage gourd he had previously taken from Lingxuzi flew out of the Divine Cave into the hands of the Sword Hero.

But Wei Fan noticed that those who, like him, initially wanted to rush in, had stopped, including Wei Ying, the Sword Hero, the three Town Commanders An Shanhe, Xuanyuan Changkong, and Mu Yi, the Great Saints from the Mu family and Xuanyuan family, all abandoning the thought of rushing in.

Evidently, everyone trusted the words of that Saint King from the Mu family without question, not thinking he was worried about competition for the opportunity inside.

Seeing this, Wei Fan felt a mix of obstruction and reluctance as he didn’t dare to question further.

"Brother Wei, you must heed Elder Mu’s words. If he doesn’t want us to enter, there must be reasons we aren’t aware of. The elders would never be for simple greed of treasures."

As if seeing Wei Fan’s reluctance, the Sword Hero reminded him, with Mu Yi and Xuanyuan Changkong nodding in agreement.

Wei Fan nodded. With everyone believing in Elder Mu, he had no doubts left. Besides, thinking deeper, the Xuanyuan and Mu families were not short of people, yet the ones who showed up were seemingly near death, their blood qi declining, which was odd.

"Rumble..."

Suddenly, the Lingxu Divine Cave shook, like a cataclysm inside, creating deafening sounds, terrifying cracks emerged in the void, and oppressive aura poured out wildly.

Soon, divine light erupted from the Divine Cave, releasing a surge of pitch-black smoke.

"Retreat!"

Their expressions changed drastically, the smoke seemed to bring destruction by mere contact, obliterating body and soul, leaving nowhere to rest.

They rapidly retreated, distancing themselves from the black smoke.

The black smoke was like a demon dragon, arrogantly flaring its claws, but after rushing out, it didn’t spread out wildly. Instead, it covered the Divine Cave, obscuring it and silencing it from external perception.

After a few breaths, the black smoke began to thin and vanish.

"The Divine Cave has disappeared!"

Once the black smoke dissolved completely, the Lingxu Divine Cave vanished into the void, leaving no trace as if it never appeared. As for the Mysterious Martial Emperor and the old men, they too vanished with it, fate unknown whether dead or in an unknown space.

Yet, Xuanyuan Changkong and Mu Yi showed no signs of worry, though the old men were from their families, there was still a Martial Emperor with them. If they were all dead, so be it; besides, those old men were near death anyway, where life or death ceased to matter.

"Brother Wei, don’t worry. With Martial Emperor Huang Tianxing there, the elders will be safe. The Lingxu Cave’s Divine Cave doesn’t stay in the world for long; it disappears after brief appearance, which the elders seem to be aware of."

Huang Tianxing!

He initially thought it was Ling Xiaoyu, the Hall Master of the Town Hall from the last time he was traced after being teleported by Yin Tianshou. This Martial Emperor being Huang Tianxing indicated that the Eastern Domain’s Demon Hunter Organization contained at least two Martial Emperors.

"Brother Wei, I’m going to handle Lingxu Cave’s matters!"

The Sword Hero flew out, for though the Lingxu Cave was destroyed beyond recognition, many things could still be salvaged, and its disciples, around hundreds of thousands, needed to be managed.

Wei Fan nodded, for nothing much was left for him to do. He was not interested in the spoils, planning to leave Jinzhou and return to Shuiyun City. Yet Zhu Jincheng’s voice suddenly echoed in his heart spirit.

"Brother Wei, be cautious. I just saw Zhou Wuchang from the Zhou family here!"

Wei Fan’s eyes sharpened: "Where is he?"
