Mrs. and Mr. Smith

One, two, three…

Countless inner cores were collected by Ethan Smith into the Spatial Magic Artifact.

However, there were so many inner cores here that even using a technique, the extraction process was extremely slow.

After almost an hour, Ethan Smith had extracted at least thousands of inner cores from beneath the island!

Embarrassingly, the Spatial Magic Artifact quickly ran out of space.

The entire artifact was already stuffed full of inner cores.

“Damn, it’s such a pity.” Looking at the countless inner cores in front of him, Ethan Smith felt anxious.

If he could take all these inner cores away, he wouldn’t have to worry about the problem of qi any longer.

Ethan Smith racked his brain, but couldn’t come up with any solutions.

“What a pity, what a pity.” Ethan Smith kept muttering these words.

Ethan Smith gritted his teeth; since the magic artifact could not fit any more, he decided to swallow them, as much as he could take.

So, Ethan Smith continued to extract inner cores, swallowing one each time he extracted one.

At the same time, Ethan Smith silently circulated Authentic Heart Technique to prevent the overwhelming amount of qi from causing too much pressure on his body.

After swallowing about twenty or so inner cores, Ethan Smith finally began to struggle.

He gritted his teeth and forced himself to continue stuffing them into his stomach.

It was just when he pulled out the eight thousand and thirty-seventh inner core that a huge gate suddenly appeared before him!

This gate was extremely colossal and magnificent.

The overbearing aura from the big plaque seemed quite unusual under the seabed.

On the plaque, a few large words were written: Immortal Slaying Sect.

Such a domineering name would undoubtedly make people shocked!

“This name seems a bit too overbearing,” Ethan Smith frowned.

He stared at the gate, murmuring, “Could it be… this very island is actually a submerged sect?”

If that was indeed true, this sect might have existed for countless years!

Looking at the awe-inspiring gate before him, waves of ancient auras rushed towards him.

Ethan Smith didn’t know the origins of this Immortal Slaying Sect, but with such a massive sect, it must be extraordinary.

Ethan Smith used the Saintly Body Skill to protect his body and cautiously walked towards the gate.

The gate slowly opened, and a shocking scene appeared.

Contrary to the imagined decorated structures, the scene before him was nothing but chaos.

Looking around, there were skeletal remains everywhere! No signs of life!

This place seemed like a battlefield, with countless bones creating a horrifying sight!

“Could it be… that this sect has been massacred?” Ethan Smith thought of a possibility.

The entire sect’s interior was full of dried corpses, clearly having suffered a disaster.

Ethan Smith carefully walked deeper into the sect, and suddenly felt a hard object beneath his feet.

Looking down, he saw a skull under his foot.

Ethan Smith bent down and picked up the skull.

The bone seemed to have been placed here for at least a few thousand years, but shockingly, there were no signs of weathering.

Ethan Smith slowly applied force in his hands, trying to crush the skull.

To his astonishment, however, he couldn’t crush the skull no matter how much strength he exerted!

“What a hard bone!” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but be shocked!

With Ethan Smith’s current strength, he could instantly crush the head of a Marquis! Yet, he couldn’t crush this skull!

You must know that this skull had been sitting here for at least a few thousand years! Normal bones would shatter upon touch!”I really don’t know what level the owner of this skull must have been at when they were alive.” Ethan Smith thought to himself.

Ethan Smith continued walking forward, picking up more bones along the way.

What surprised him was that each bone was incredibly tough, impossible to crush!

“This Immortal Slaying Sect is truly terrifying!” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment.

Picking up a random bone that was so tough was enough to prove that the members of the Immortal Slaying Sect were beyond imagination!

“What kind of experience did such a powerful sect go through to be wiped out by the Massacre… Who was the one who attacked them…” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine!

Compared to them, Ethan Smith’s strength seemed insignificant!

“The current so-called invincible Marquis would probably have been nothing thousands of years ago.” Ethan Smith whispered.

He dropped the bone and continued walking forward.

Soon, Ethan Smith arrived in the center of the Great Hall.

Similarly, the Great Hall was filled with dead bones, broken magical artifacts, and snapped swords on the ground.

The bones in this hall seemed even tougher, not even Ethan Smith’s Absolute Beginning Sacred Fist could break them!

“It seems that the people in this hall were even stronger.” Ethan Smith secretly pondered.

What kind of level were they at when they were alive? Martial Saint? Or beyond Martial Saint?

Martial Saints had already become a legend in the current era, but in the grand scheme of cultivation, they were not worth mentioning at all.

Martial Saints were only at the Nascent Soul Realm in the cultivation world, and above the Nascent Soul Realm, there were Divine Annihilator, Returning to the Void, Synthesis, and Tribulation!

According to Ethan Smith’s guess, these dead bones must have reached the Divine Annihilator realm during their lifetime!

“The Divine Annihilator realm… that’s a truly mighty power.” Ethan Smith couldn’t help but sigh slightly.

Divine Annihilators, also called mighty realm cultivators, were top-notch beings even in the world of cultivation.

It was said that upon stepping into the Mighty Realm, one would have a lifespan of thousands of years. With a single blow, they could destroy a small country, no less powerful than the current top weapons!

A sect possessing so many mighty realm cultivators was actually wiped out by the Massacre; it’s unimaginable how many talented people existed thousands of years ago.

Continuing forward, at the end of the Great Hall, there was a chair.

And on the chair sat a skeleton with its back towards the entrance!

Ethan Smith tiptoed toward the skeleton.

He saw that the skeleton’s hair was disheveled, its flesh not yet fully decayed, and its facial expressions still visible.

Its expression appeared extremely horrifying, as if it was frightened of something!

“This person must be the Sect lord of the Immortal Slaying Sect.” Ethan Smith thought to himself.

What kind of level had the Sect lord attained?

Ethan Smith reached out and placed his hand on the skeleton.

For an instant, Ethan Smith’s brain was struck by lightning! A series of images immediately appeared in his mind!

“Ah!”

Ethan Smith’s face changed dramatically, and he tried to retreat, but it was already too late!

His entire divine sense seemed to have merged with the dead skeleton, and a series of images played out in his mind!

In the images, hundreds of cultivators were fighting. Their techniques were truly earth-shattering, with just a casual strike capable of shattering the Void!

“What… what kind of level is this?!” Seeing their techniques, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but be shocked!

Following the images, Ethan saw a figure standing at the entrance of the Immortal Slaying Sect’s gate.

With a wave of her hand, dozens of people were reduced to fragments!

“Could it be… that this person is the murderer who wiped out the Immortal Slaying Sect?!” Ethan Smith exclaimed in shock.

In that case, the powerful Immortal Slaying Sect was actually wiped out by a single person?!

Ethan Smith’s gaze followed that figure at the entrance.

At this moment, Ethan suddenly realized that the figure seemed somewhat familiar!
