Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I’m dying Before I Got Cheats - Chapter 1421

Chapter 1421: Azure Cloud Remains, Empty as Air (Part 2) Chapter 1421: Azure Cloud Remains, Empty as Air (Part 2) Editor: Henyee Translations Hidden within the fabric of space, traces of energy rippled and gathered.

“Hmph!

So there is something here!” Red-Beard Immortal’s eyes flashed with a cold glint, and he let out a disdainful snort.

His expression, once tense with frustration, relaxed significantly.

The many elders and disciples around him also heaved a sigh of relief.

It seemed that the Azure Cloud Sect had simply hidden its treasures well enough to deceive them earlier.

With such secrecy, it hinted at the presence of rare and precious treasures, valuable enough to warrant such caution.

The thought sent waves of excitement through the ranks of the Scarlet Dragon Sect.

Many of the elders exchanged eager glances, clearly coming to the same conclusion: the more challenging it was to locate, the greater the potential fortune.

BOOM!

BOOM!

Before long, Red-Beard Immortal led his disciples to gather above a ruin, a specific area where he sensed a potent hidden force.

In the air before them, a barrier thrummed under their combined attacks, reverberating with a series of violent shocks.

Each blast of their energy rippled through the void, creating waves of dazzling nine-colored radiance.

Far from discouraging them, the display filled the Scarlet Dragon Sect members with greater anticipationaEUR”even Red-Beard Immortal himself felt a surge of joy.

Buzz!

Finally, under their excited gazes, beams of nine-colored light exploded outward, illuminating the sky.

The barrier shattered, revealing rifts in the void as streams of symbols cascaded like a torrential flood.

A circular portal emerged, opening with a resounding crack.

“Excellent!” Red-Beard Immortal roared, sweeping his crimson robe with a flourish.

The force of an Earthly Immortal surged out from him, neutralizing the remaining turbulent energy with ease.

“Glory to our ancestor!

Glory to our ancestor!” The Scarlet Dragon Sect disciples erupted in cheers, seizing the opportunity to praise him, their voices loud and filled with awe.

“Elder, the barrier has been broken.

Please, step forward!” Several of the elders approached with wide smiles, bowing in deference to Red-Beard Immortal, their faces radiating pride and hope.

“Good,” Red-Beard Immortal’s earlier dark mood evaporated.

Stroked his crimson beard, he stepped forward through the portal, speaking over his shoulder, “You’ve all done well.

There will be rewards when we return to the sect.” “Thank you, Ancestor, for your grace!” The elders beamed with joy, bowing repeatedly in gratitude.

But just as the anticipation reached a fever pitch, the unexpected happened.

As Red-Beard Immortal stepped through the portal, he suddenly froze, his entire body rigid.

He stood as still as a statue, his expression locked in shock.

“Huh?

Could it be that Ancestor has found a peerless treasure?” one disciple muttered, craning his neck to peer into the newly opened vault.

“I hope the rewards are generous enough for us to get a piece of the pie!” another whispered eagerly, anticipation filling the air.

Gradually, however, a strange pressure began to emanate from the portal.

An intense heat surged from Red-Beard Immortal’s unmoving figure, and a suffocating power spread through the air like a brewing storm.

The oppressive aura made every disciple and elder go silent, their hearts pounding with apprehension.

It was clear that this power belonged to Red-Beard Immortal.

His aura crackled with suppressed fury, making the atmosphere heavy and tense.

The excited crowd went dead quiet as if gripped by an invisible hand.

In the suffocating silence, only Red-Beard Immortal’s harsh breathing could be heard, each exhale like the rumbling of distant thunder.

“Where are my treasures?!” His enraged roar split the air, a surge of crimson flames erupting from his body and shooting skyward, painting the heavens blood-red.

In a blinding fury, he unleashed his Earthly Immortal power, striking the newly opened vault with a devastating palm.

BOOOOM!

The vault was instantly engulfed in a storm of energy.

The once-solid walls exploded into fragments, leaving behind a deep, smoking chasm.

Even the protective barriers around the vault were obliterated in an instant.

The scorching waves of energy that followed forced the surrounding disciples to retreat, staggering back in disarray, their formation utterly shattered.

Only then did everyone realizeaEUR”the vault Red-Beard Immortal had so eagerly opened was utterly empty.

The shock of such a crushing disappointment had driven him into a frenzy.

“Calm yourself, Ancestor!

Please, calm down!” “Ancestor, stay your wrath!” The elders and disciples of the Scarlet Dragon Sect quickly dropped to their knees, bowing in panic, their voices trembling.

Red-Beard Immortal was known for his short temper, and this crushing disappointment was sure to have pushed him to the edge.

The force of his fury weighed down on them like a mountain.

A single misstep could mean their deaths, for even the slightest slip in his rage could lead to their destruction.

After a few tense moments, Red-Beard Immortal’s eyesaEUR”burning a furious crimsonaEUR”turned to the crowd.

His face was dark with anger, and his voice boomed like thunder.

“Go!

Open every vault in this province!

NOW!” No one dared to hesitate.

With shaky bows, the disciples and elders quickly scattered, spreading out like a flock of crimson-winged birds, each determined to uncover any remaining treasures.

Soon, they reached the places Red-Beard Immortal had marked earlier, locations where he had sensed faint traces of concealed energy.

Without delay, the disciples poured their energy into each barrier, using every ounce of strength to tear them open.

The remnants of ancient barriers, already weakened by the passage of time and the ravages of the great calamity, gradually gave way under their combined might.

Thunderous rumbles echoed across the sky, a symphony of crackling energy and swirling light.

Throughout the ruined province, bolts of lightning danced among the dark clouds as the disciples worked feverishly to break the seals.

Every vault they opened cast beams of multicolored light, reflecting off the stormy sky.

Yet, each vault revealed only disappointment.

Instead of grand treasures, they found fragments of common materials and piles of worthless ash.

What few artifacts they did uncover were mundane at best, hardly worthy of their efforts.

From his position in the sky, Red-Beard Immortal watched the repeated disappointments with a growing sense of foreboding.

His face, already dark, grew darker still as realization settled over him.

Perhaps this province held no great treasures after all.

Perhaps they had come here in vain.

What had once seemed like a golden opportunity now reeked of bitter irony.

It was as if the Azure Cloud Sect had deliberately left behind these false hopes to mock them.

The disappointment clawed at his gut, leaving a sour taste in his mouth.

Buzz!

Buzz!

Buzz!

Wave after wave of mystical energy rippled as the disciples pried open vault after vault.

The dazzling bursts of light quickly faded, revealing emptiness within.

No grand treasures, no peerless artifactsaEUR”only piles of worthless debris.

The silence was palpable as a sense of futility settled over the Scarlet Dragon Sect.

Red-Beard Immortal, his expression twisted with barely controlled rage, could only watch as vault after vault revealed nothing of value.

His fury surged, causing his immense celestial power to bleed uncontrollably into the atmosphere.

The very sky seemed to bleed with his rage, turning a menacing shade of red as if the heavens themselves wept in anger.
