Chapter 925: Protecting the Last Clean Soil

They did not know where the gigantic hand came from. It headed straight for the altar as if it wanted to grab someone from it!

Boom!

The altar shot out a destructive red light, surging to the heavens and attacking the hand!

Just as everyone thought that the hand to fight against the red light, the gigantic hand strangely disappeared. It was like a mirrored image as it appeared behind the altar1

That hand…

Seemed to be avoiding the attacks of the altar. It did not dare to fight it!

The massive hand grabbed onto the people on the altar, pulling them out and quickly disappearing.

Even though the hand movements were quick, it gave the impression that it was afraid of the altar. It fled after saving everyone.

Bai Piao had a dark aura on his forehead. He immediately woke up from the cycle and said excitedly, “Thank you for your help, master!”

The rest of them started to wake up as well. They looked at their surroundings in shock and fear.

Some of them reddened eyes and ferocious looks on their faces. They were affected by the cycle, being too immersed.

They all had the same thought in their minds as they road, “Wisdom is merciless. We can only rely on ourselves. The corrupted gray mist is the true way. The past needs to be tossed aside! I will go against the heavens!”

“That’s right, I think cleansing the gray mist is wrong! We should be worshipping the corruption and going against Wisdom!”

“The gray mist can revive my lost lover. Haven’t we been cultivating all our lives for this?”

“You can’t look for a way to cleanse the gray mist!”

…

As they said that, they looked at the cultivators around them, trying to change everyone’s minds.

Bai Piao and the others looked at them with killing intent.

They might have been affected by the cycles, but they still maintained their wits. No matter what, the gray mist would affect their senses. It was the truth. They could not be seduced by the altar and lose themselves.

Bai Piao laughed coldly, “Wisdom is merciless, but Madman Chu just wants everyone to become his weapon. I don’t want either of them. I’ll be my own master. I’ll be strong!”

The Celestial Demon King said, “They dare stop us from looking for the way to cleanse the gray mist. There’s no saving them. Kill!”

In a flash, the two of them slaughtered their way through, causing a huge battle.

In the distance, Yang Jian and the others saw everything, and they fell into a long silence.

Xiao Chengfeng said in surprise, “That hand earlier… A supreme being made a move.

“It looks like there’s a mastermind behind that group,” Cultivator Junjun frowned and said.

Yang Jian exclaimed, “That supreme being was terrified of the altar. Madman Chu was too strong back then.”

The altar was not even alive, and it was left behind for so many years. Yet, a supreme being still needed to be so careful to save people from it, not daring to face it head-on. It was obvious how terrifying Madman Chu was.

Suddenly, Cultivator Junjun’s expression changed as he said anxiously, “Not good, they’re heading over. What do we do?”

All four of them started to go on alert, feeling the group getting closer.

“We have to protect the lamp!” Yang Jian immediately decided. He rushed toward the lamp, not caring about any possible restrictions anymore. He needed to hide the lamp first.

Luckily enough, he managed to get the lamp without any obstructions. There were no restrictions to attack him.

Yang Jian was incredibly happy. The moment he was going to keep the lamp, he felt a shocking aura coming out from those statues. Endless energy flowed as the statues glowed.

Buzz!

A terrifying pressure caused Yang Jian and the others to struggle to breathe. Before they could even react, the glow enveloped their bodies, sucking them into the statues.

Suddenly, fragmented memories started to assault their minds. They were the eyes of the statue, they saw how intense the battle back then was.

“Despicable, even the flames of Wisdom can’t defeat that madman. Quick, protect the flame!”

“Wisdom isn’t pure anymore. It’s torn itself apart. We have to protect the last clean piece!”

“Wisdom is crying out for our help. The heavens can’t be defied. From now on, we’ll be the protectors of Wisdom!”

“With me, kill! Kill the corrupted!”

…

Countless cultivators fought in the air. Their blood stained the skies red. Even supreme beings were but ants among the two forces, dying at any moment.

At that moment, Yang Jian and the others saw a few admirable figures.

They stood in the skies, existing with the heavens. The powers they had were immense. All of them were incredible. Without Madman Chu, they would have been the ones who stood on top of the era.

When Wisdom split apart, they stood up and protected Wisdom resolutely. They called themselves the protectors of Wisdom!

They even saw the owner of the Fallen God Bow, and the glow of the Sky Melting Sword…

Only…

Those figures passed away one by one.

The statue started to weep. Only, it was not the statues, but Yang Jian and the others.

At the last moment, the protectors of Wisdom could not completely wipe away the corruption. Even Wisdom was completely at a loss.

It was then that they knew. Heaven’s sorrow was not just weeping for the passing of those men, but weeping for humanity as well!

At the last moment, some of the protectors fled!

They left the battlefield and found somewhere safe. It caused them to miss out on the best moment to eliminate the corruption, and the heavens lost its balance.

“Sinners! These men are all sinners!”

Yang Jian and the others shouted at the same time. They could all feel the betrayal the statues felt back then.

At that moment, a few rays of light stopped there, revealing Bai Piao and the others.

“It’s almost at the end, where’s the way to cleanse the gray mist?”

“Those statues are amazing. Their auras are even stronger than that of the altar’s. Cleansing the gray mist must be related to them!”

“They seem to be protecting something. What’s in the center that is worth their protection?”

“Look, they’re crying! What’s happening?”

“The tears of such an existence must be amazing. It might be some holy water that can cleanse the gray mist. Let me go lick it!”

…

Holy crap!

Hearing someone wanting to lick their tears, Yang Jian and the others panicked.

Could he not be so disgusting?

Xiao Chengfeng had a flash of inspiration as he activated his powers, “It’s been so many years. I can’t believe there are cultivators here. It looks like the corruption has appeared again!”

His tone was arrogant and full of the aura of a braggart.

The cultivators were all immensely shocked. The statue spoke?!
