In a particular location in the World of Cultivation, a pulsating dark rift had appeared in the sky!
The rift looked like a tear in space as it let out wild energies, seemingly trying to form into something the more it stabilized in space. One could distinctly catch a glimpse of a completely different environment if they were to peer through this pulsating rift, an environment that made many of the nearby individuals monitoring the rift let out bated breaths.
In the barely stabilized rift gate that led to a Treasure Abode, they could already feel the tremendous coagulation of essence leaking out, as well as observe glistening medicinal herbs and rare materials, and this was just the immediate inside of this rift in space!
One of the watchers hiding themselves in the distance as to not be observed by others was another Elder of Time Immemorial Sect. He continued to send updates every few seconds as he felt the auras of more and more individuals arrive in the immediate surroundings.
"In addition to a few familiar auras from the nearby sects, Otherworlders have also begun to appear. Make haste!"
His voice was filled with hurry as it traveled from the Soul Jade Medallion he held onto a receiver that was on the unique movement item, the corporeal cloud named Cloudchaser where the Grand Elder of Time Immemorial Sect was bringing along many powerhouses for this venture into the tomb of a Void Fimmerment cultivator.
The Elder watching the rift continued to watch with bated breaths as the rift in the skies became wider and wider, the dangerous energy of space destabilization gradually settling down and making the beings in the surroundings even more excited.
Not too far away from the Elder of the Time Immemorial Sect, beings from another world were also keeping watch on the continuing folding and expanding of space in the skies.
It was the cruel Magi from the Magus World, each of them pulsing with immense power as runic circles continued to circle their bodies ceaselessly, continuing to protect and strengthen them at all times.
Leading this group of Magi was a being that was known by the title of The Black Serpent, a powerful Magus that was successful in transplanting the bloodlines of a deadly serpent and gaining its strength. His body let out wild levels of power that were similar to the Grand Elder Amos, power of the realm of a Saint!
Around him were many other magi covered in runic circles or holding forms similar to the powerful bloodlines they transplanted on themselves as they stood behind him, their power obviously a level lower. The voice of Black Serpent rang out in each of their ears covertly as they watched the continued expansion of the rift in the skies.
"The information we've gathered suggests a large number of cultivators will be entering this Dangerous Realm in order to obtain the cultivation techniques and treasures of some cultivator from hundreds of years ago. We do not care about any treasures in this Realm, only the fact that it is extremely dangerous...and many cultivators will be falling in this place."
A chilling smile wrapped around Black Serpent's face as he voiced out the words slowly.
"Our targets are the cultivators, we have to collect as many bodies as possible!"
Horrendous words came out of his mouth as the temperature surrounding them chilled.
"While they are running around greedily looking for treasures, follow them closely. We are on a hunt! If you find a cultivator straggling or moving alone, that is your target. Attack fast and swiftly, and do not leave behind any traces!"
Maddening words came out of the mouth of the powerful Magus as the beings surrounding him nodded with glistening eyes. While many more set their sights on the wondrous treasures and techniques they would be able to obtain in the Treasure Abode of the Devilish Time Unveiler, the beings from the Magus World were moving with completely different goals!
Time continued to pass as beings of different origins continued to gather around the pulsating rift. At one point, two individuals appeared silently in the skies as they didn't even bother hiding their aura. It was a robust young man with dark hair that was filled with streaks of blue. He held a calm and confident expression as beside him stood a golden armored individual with dark blank eyes. The Rank 3 Celestial assigned a mission of obtaining a Cursed Item had appeared. He watched the stabilizing of the rift in front of him curiously as more and more auras gathered around the area.
The region surrounding Rainbow Spirit Mountain was filled with a great many sects, with the majority of them being slightly lower in power than the Time Immemorial Sect. There only a few major sects in their surrounding areas of influence that were also aiming for the techniques of the Devilish Time Unveiler when the risks of the extremely dangerous Realm were considered.
CRACK!
A loud sound like that of the sky tearing apart rang out as the rift in the sky became even wider, many beings now clearly seeing the wondrous land visible inside. Just a cursory look made many people start coming forward as they prepared to rush in at the moment the rift stabilized.
WAA!
At this moment, a droning sound rang out as a corporeal cloud appeared on the horizon, getting closer and closer to the position of the rift as they neared within a few seconds. The Cloudchaser that the main group from the Time Immemorial Sect was riding on had arrived on the scene.
A powerful aura of a Saint erupted out as the beings from Time Immemorial Sect made their intentions clear. The show of strength made the Rank 3 Celestial turn to look towards this new group that arrived with such vigor as the violet-colored robes of multiple Elders and Grand Elder Amos disembarked the moment the movement type treasure appeared in the sky. The Elders also turned to look at the two calm individuals that floated openly in the skies of this dangerous location with no worry as they didn't even bother to put them in their eyes.
It was only a glance, but they were able to observe each other. The Rank 3 Celestial observed what he considered to be a simple group of cultivators that meant less than nothing in his eyes. From the group of the Time Immemorial Sect cultivators, a particular Elder Dan who was the disguised Noah also passed his eyes over the two figures of Celestial accompanied by the armored Punisher. Neither of them knew each other, and each had their own histories. At this moment in time, their gazes briefly collided, and that was it. Neither of them knew that when the time came where they would actually clash, it would be the start of a tremendous sequence of events that will leave a mark in history.
