I cultivate the Chaos Technique

As time passed, the power of the killing formation gradually faded, and the cultivators in the formation fell one after another. Of the dozens of people who had escaped from the Shadow Bamboo Sea with Zhang Yifan and Lin Qingzhu, only two swaying figures remained stubbornly standing in the formation.

Zhang Yifan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his expression grave and weary. His spiritual energy was almost exhausted, and his injuries were severe, but his gaze remained resolute, revealing an indomitable will. Lin Qingzhu was equally exhausted, but her eyes remained fixed on her surroundings, ready to face any possible fatal attack.

"We're the last two." Lin Qingzhu's voice was low and calm. Although there was a hint of fatigue in her voice, her expression remained as sharp and unwavering as a cold blade.

Zhang Yifan didn't speak, only nodded slightly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. They had come this far, seemingly touching the boundary of this killing formation, but the real crisis was far from over.

Just as the two were nervously scanning their surroundings, a deep voice suddenly came from the air.

"You two... are really tenacious."

The sound seemed to come from all directions simultaneously, carrying an indescribable chill and sinister aura. With the appearance of this sound, the gradually subsiding killing intent of the formation suddenly vanished, and the surrounding atmosphere became eerie and oppressive.

Immediately afterward, several dark figures slowly emerged from the shadows, gradually approaching Zhang Yifan and Lin Qingzhu. The leader was a pale-faced middle-aged man dressed in a black robe, his gaze as cold as a knife. His cultivation was formidable, emanating a powerful aura of oppression; he was clearly a Nascent Soul stage expert!

Zhang Yifan and Lin Qingzhu exchanged a glance, both knowing that this person was the one controlling the formation. Their current situation was extremely unfavorable; their spiritual energy was depleted, their injuries were not yet healed, while their opponent held an overwhelming advantage.

"It seems your companions have all perished in the battle, and it's time for the two of you to meet your end as well." The black-robed man's voice was like a cold blade, piercing Zhang Yifan and Lin Qingzhu's ears. His words carried a hint of contempt, clearly indicating that he didn't believe the two of them had any chance of turning the tide.

Lin Qingzhu's gaze sharpened, and she said coldly, "Who exactly are you? Why did you set up such a dangerous killing formation? What conspiracy is behind you?"

Upon hearing this, the man in black robes smirked coldly: "You are not qualified to know these things, but since you have survived until now, perhaps I can reveal a little bit to you."

He glanced around, slightly raised his hand, and several black-robed cultivators immediately stepped out from behind him, surrounding Zhang Yifan and Lin Qingzhu. The black-robed man was clearly extremely confident in the situation, believing that the two were trapped and had no chance of escape, so his vigilance relaxed slightly.

"You must be familiar with the name of the Heavenly Revelation Sect, right?" A cold glint flashed in the black-robed man's eyes, and when he mentioned the three words "Heavenly Revelation Sect," his tone revealed an extremely strong sense of pride.

Zhang Yifan and Lin Qingzhu's expressions changed simultaneously. The Tianqi Sect was a renowned sect on the Tianyuan Continent, with unfathomable strength. It was rumored that its sect leader was an unparalleled expert who had already reached the Integration Stage and had suppressed the entire Tianyuan Continent for a thousand years. The Tianqi Sect had always been known as the strongest force on the Tianyuan Continent, looking down on all the other sects and firmly occupying the top position on the continent.

"So they're from the Heavenly Revelation Sect..." Zhang Yifan gritted his teeth, and some of his doubts were immediately dispelled. The numerous crises they encountered in the Heavenly Absolute Secret Realm were probably all related to the Heavenly Revelation Sect.

"Your Tianqi Sect is going to such lengths, is it for the opportunity in the Tianjue Secret Realm?" Lin Qingzhu asked coldly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, the man in black robes sneered and shook his head: "An opportunity? No, this is merely a smokescreen. The real purpose is to weaken the strength of the major sects on the Tianyuan Continent."

"Weaken the major sects?" Zhang Yifan frowned, a sense of unease creeping into his heart. He quickly realized that the current situation was perhaps far more complex than he had imagined.

The man in black robes looked at Zhang Yifan with a hint of mockery in his eyes: "You cultivators are nothing but pawns manipulated by the higher-ups of the Heavenly Revelation Sect. The journey to the Heavenly Absolute Secret Realm was never about finding any treasures, but about setting a death trap for your various sects."

Zhang Yifan's heart jolted, and he vaguely understood the other party's intentions, but he was still unwilling to give up. He said in a deep voice, "What is the purpose of your actions? The Heavenly Revelation Sect is already the strongest sect in the Tianyuan Continent. Why are you targeting other sects?"

Upon hearing this, the man in black robes sneered: "The strongest? Do you think the Heavenly Revelation Sect can remain supreme forever? With the rise of the Heavenly Abyss Dynasty, the strength of other sects is also gradually increasing, especially the Heavenly Abyss Dynasty, which, after thousands of years of development and expansion, is already showing signs of replacing my Heavenly Revelation Sect. Do you think the Heavenly Revelation Sect will sit idly by and do nothing about it?"

Zhang Yifan and Lin Qingzhu exchanged a glance, their hearts pounding with shock. It turned out that all of this stemmed from the Tianqi Sect's fear of the Tianyuan Dynasty. The Tianjue Secret Realm was a carefully orchestrated conspiracy; they used the guise of a secret realm to lure elite cultivators from various sects inside, then used formations and deadly intent to kill them one by one, thereby weakening the power of each sect.

"You people are not worthy to be enemies of the Heavenly Revelation Sect." The black-robed man's voice was filled with endless coldness and contempt. "The status of the Heavenly Revelation Sect shall not be shaken by anyone."

Zhang Yifan clenched his fists, his anger barely contained. The Heavenly Revelation Sect, in order to maintain its position, was willing to sacrifice so many innocent cultivators, even resorting to treacherous schemes to harm others. This behavior filled him with utter indignation.

"Tianqi Sect...you will pay the price for what you have done today one day!" Zhang Yifan roared, his eyes burning with fury.

Upon hearing this, the man in black robes sneered even more: "Pay the price? You two wretched juniors dare to dream of standing up to the Heavenly Revelation Sect? How laughable!"

He raised his hand and slowly waved it forward. A powerful pressure immediately swept over Zhang Yifan and Lin Qingzhu. Zhang Yifan felt his breath catch in his throat, and his spiritual power was instantly suppressed, making him almost unable to move.

Lin Qingzhu gritted her teeth, her gaze still resolute, and said coldly, "Even if I die here today, I will not let you succeed!"

The man in black robes raised an eyebrow, clearly not expecting Lin Qingzhu to remain so tenacious even in such dire circumstances. He sneered, "Since you're so stubborn, I'll send you on your way."

With a flick of his wrist, a sharp killing intent suddenly condensed and enveloped Zhang Yifan and Lin Qingzhu.

At this critical moment, Zhang Yifan bit his tongue, forcibly activating the remaining spiritual power within his body. In a flash, he stood in front of Lin Qingzhu. A resolute look flashed in his eyes. Although the spiritual power within his body was almost exhausted, his will remained unshaken.

"I, Zhang Yifan, will never bow down to despicable people like you!"

Zhang Yifan roared, and the spiritual power within his body suddenly erupted with its last remaining power. A dazzling sword light burst forth from the longsword in his hand, heading straight for the man in black robes.

The black-robed man's expression changed slightly; he hadn't expected Zhang Yifan to unleash such power even in this state. He snorted coldly, his hand trembling slightly to deflect the sword light. But in that instant of distraction, Lin Qingzhu had already made her move, her longsword flashing like a ghost as it pierced towards the black-robed man's chest.

"You're courting death!" the black-robed man roared, waving his hand back to unleash a powerful surge of spiritual energy that forcefully repelled Lin Qingzhu's attack. However, his expression had turned grim, clearly not expecting these two cultivators to be so tenacious.

Although Zhang Yifan and Lin Qingzhu's attacks were ineffective, their unwavering determination made the black-robed man feel uneasy. He sneered inwardly, "Since these two are so persistent, then I'll eliminate them completely!"

Just as the man in black robes was about to launch a fatal blow, a series of rapid whooshing sounds suddenly came from afar. Immediately afterwards, several figures appeared in their sight.

The man in black robes frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping coldly over the newcomer, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes: "Another fool who doesn't know his own death has arrived?"

Zhang Yifan and Lin Qingzhu also looked at the figures, their hearts filled with the same doubts. The situation seemed to have subtly changed with the arrival of these people.
