In Yang Qi's perception, countless practitioners were imprisoned in special formations, which were constantly extracting essence from the practitioners. Once a certain amount of essence was extracted, the formation would inject heaven and earth essence into the practitioners to help them recover, and then repeatedly extract essence from the practitioners.
These imprisoned practitioners have become countless machines that provide the origin for the Immortal Temple, living machines. This is not some fairyland at all; it is even worse than purgatory!
"Immortal Temple!"
There was murderous intent in Yang Qi's eyes. He had fought with the Immortal Temple several times and had some understanding of it. However, the scene before him made him realize that he knew too little about the Immortal Temple.
The Immortal Temple was more evil and brutal than he knew. No wonder the Immortal Temple became the public enemy of the Source Holy Religion. This force was much more brutal and evil than the demons that Yang Qi had killed before!
"Um?"
At this moment, Yang Qi's expression suddenly changed. In his perception, there were several auras rushing towards him. These auras had all reached the high-level Martial Emperor level, and the one leading them was a Nine-Star Martial Emperor.
"A practitioner from the Immortal Temple?"
A gleam of brilliance flashed in Yang Qi's eyes. After entering the upper realm, the practitioners from the lower realm were almost all imprisoned as soon as they left the teleportation array. However, being imprisoned alone could not provide the source of power, and they had to be put into a special array. Obviously, these practitioners who came here were the ones who captured those practitioners from the lower realm to the upper realm!
"I haven't even looked for you yet, but you guys came to me on your own initiative!"
Yang Qi's eyes were filled with murderous intent, but his own aura quickly subsided and finally stabilized at the level of a one-star martial emperor. He wanted to get some words out of these Immortal Temple practitioners. These Immortal Temple practitioners might have restrictions in their souls, so searching their souls would probably not work.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
In the distant sky, four figures flew over, led by a cultivator at the nine-star Martial Emperor level.
“Eh~” The Nine-star Martial Emperor’s eyes lit up when he saw Yang Qi, “He’s actually at the Martial Emperor level?”
Because there are huge restrictions on practitioners above the Martial King Realm in the secret realm, not many can break through to the Martial Emperor Realm and come to the upper realm. Compared with the Martial King Realm, the origin provided by the Martial Emperor Realm is purer, and the survival time is longer, which is much more precious than the Martial King Realm.
"Martial Emperor Realm?"
Yang Qi was startled, looking at the four Martial Emperors in the air in confusion, and said respectfully, "Seniors, is this the upper realm? Why can't I move after arriving here?"
"Upper realm, senior?"
After hearing Yang Qi's words, the four Martial Emperors looked at each other and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
As peripheral members of the Immortal Temple, they knew clearly that the so-called upper realm was just something they made up to force the practitioners in the secret realm to come here. This was the place where their Immortal Temple used the practitioners to extract the origin.
The leading Nine-Star Martial Emperor looked at Yang Qi and chuckled, "Yes, this is the upper realm. You will soon experience life in the upper realm, where there is immortality and eternal existence."
They are responsible for capturing the practitioners teleported from the secret realm. In addition to capturing them, they also need to set up restrictions to prevent these practitioners from committing suicide. After all, the process of extracting the origin is very painful. If the practitioner commits suicide, it will be a loss.
"It seems that there is nothing to be learned from asking."
Looking at a high-level Martial Emperor who was about to capture him, Yang Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. These high-level Martial Emperors looked at him as if he were an ant, and it was impossible for them to tell him any secrets.
"In that case, just do it directly."
A gleam of light flashed in Yang Qi's eyes, and the next moment, the four high-level Martial Emperors in the air fell into a trance. He immediately checked the other party's soul, and indeed found that there was a restriction in the soul. Once the soul was searched, the soul restriction would inevitably be triggered.
"With my current abilities, I can't break the soul restriction at the Martial Emperor level."
Yang Qi sighed inwardly. The soul restrictions on the four high-level Martial Emperors were very strong and even he could not break them.
Just as Yang Qi was about to use soul means to influence the four people and buy more time, his face suddenly changed and his eyes looked into the depths of the space in front of him.
“I didn’t expect to be discovered so soon!”
A look of helplessness flashed across Yang Qi's face. In fact, before coming to the upper realm, he had already prepared to be discovered.
Originally, he thought that the Immortal Temple's Martial Emperor Realm had not discovered the four high-level Martial Emperors who came, but now it seems that he was overthinking. The Immortal Temple's Martial Emperor Realm should have discovered him a long time ago, but he was not with these Martial Emperor Realm, so he was unable to stop the four high-level Martial Emperors from coming to capture him.
Buzz~
The four high-level Martial Emperors were no longer useful. Yang Qi thought about it and directly killed the souls of the four.
Whoosh~
As Yang Qi killed the souls of the four high-level Martial Emperors, a figure appeared in front of Yang Qi. It was the two-star Martial Emperor who had arrived quickly in his perception.
"Die!" The two-star Martial Emperor's gaze fell on Yang Qi, a fierce murderous intent burst out of his eyes, and the big knife in his hand shook, and a sharp blade light slashed towards Yang Qi.
"break!"
Facing the incoming sword light, Yang Qi's eyes focused, and the Black Phoenix Sword in his hand shook, turning into a light gray sword light, blocking the incoming sword light.
Boom!
The two fierce attacks collided with each other, accompanied by a loud bang, and an invisible force storm surged with the position where the two sides fought as the center.
The practitioners who were in the special formation felt the residual power coming from it, and their faces changed. They all exclaimed, "What's going on?"
There were many Martial Emperors among these imprisoned practitioners. They knew clearly that once a practitioner from the lower realm entered here, he would be slaughtered at will and had no power to resist. For countless years, almost every battle had taken place in this space. How could the remnant of a battle spread now
A thin, weak Martial Emperor had a gleam of light in his eyes and shouted, "Could it be that a strong man from the Endless Universe has come to save us?"
They knew nothing about the system of cultivation civilization in the lower realm, but after coming here, they occasionally heard some information from the high-level martial emperors who were in charge of patrols. After countless generations of cultivators, they had learned about the true cultivation world and cultivation civilization, but it was a pity that no one among them was destined to leave here alive.
"You think too much. Maybe it's just like last time. A strong person happened to appear nearby, and a fight broke out, affecting this space." A Martial Emperor said with a wry smile. (To be continued)
