“Let’s go through this passage!”
Just as Ye Xiao and Fang Yun were ready to enter the Passage of Life, they heard someone’s voice.
When they turned back, they saw Dongfang Shang speaking to many experts standing behind him. Qin Wu and Yi Xian were also present among them. Dongfang Shang was also pointing toward the same gate Fang Yun chose.
Fang Yun frowned and informed Ye Xiao, “This, here, is the City Lord of Blackrock City. He is also a Minor Saint!”
Although Ye Xiao was surprised, he simply nodded his head and did not say anything. Instead, he looked at Fang Yun and asked, “Since you are already a Great Saint, why do you need my help?”
“I don’t know, however, do you really think obtaining a Celestial Destroyer Treasure will be very easy? You should know that only experts at and above Mystic Sovereign Realm could use it. If someone weaker with no overlord-leveled background was found to be in possession of such a treasure, only death will await them!”
“And since just the entrance of this relic is based on the Eight Hidden Gates of Celestials, how could obtaining that treasure be easy? Who knows I might really need your help!”
Ye Xiao did not say anything but thought in his heart that Fang Yun is right.
Everyone nodded their head without saying anything else when they heard Dongfang Shang. As the City Lord of Blackrock City and a Minor Saint Realm warrior, Dongfang Shang’s reputation was not for nothing.
Ye Xiao Fang Yun and everyone else shot into the passageway immediately.
At first, Ye Xiao was fully prepared to encounter any kind of danger. However, he was shocked the moment he entered. It is because he saw many wells in the passageway, and each of them had quite a number of people searching inside. Every time someone found something, a fight would break out inside the well.
The entire passageway was filled with the smell of blood.
There were a total of eight passages. And thousands of people rushed into the relic the moment it opened. So it is not surprising to find many people entering this passage as well.
The surprising things were the wells and the cause of the battle.
Ye Xiao and the others didn’t go in to search, after all, since the restriction on those wells was already opened and there were already bloody scenes inside each well, it was obvious that treasures were already taken away by people. There wouldn’t be any treasures in the well now.
After advancing for about a quarter of an hour, Ye Xiao frowned. He looked at a well to the side and detected an extremely strong energy fluctuation.
Ye Xiao stopped in his tracks, and his hand hovered around the restriction. In an instant, an immense amount of energy appeared out of nowhere that repelled his palm.
“What’s wrong?”
Fang Yun asked as he saw Ye Xiao’s action.
“There should be something good inside.”
Ye Xiao smiled. The Chaos Energy in his body surged as he shouted and bombarded the mouth of the well.
“BOOM!”
A dull sound rang out, causing Ye Xiao’s body to tremble. Soon after, an extremely strong wave of force came from the well’s mouth toward his arm. Sensing the boundless power, Ye Xiao’s expression changed and he quickly gathered his Chaos Energy in his palm to withstand the impact.
“BOOM!”
Ye Xiao’s body trembled. He retreated two steps before stopping.
“There is actually a formation blocking the well’s mouth.” Fang Yun said in surprise. Since this well had a restriction placed on it, it was obvious that the things inside were definitely good.
The commotion here had also attracted the attention of the others in the passageway. One of them looked over with an expression of surprise and greed.
“Let me try.”
Fang Yun walked forward, and the aura that belonged to Peak of Chaos Spirit Realm erupted. When they felt the aura from Fang Yun, the gazes that looked over couldn’t help but freeze and fear could be seen in their eyes. The peak of Chaos Spirit Realm, in the absence of a warrior going through Three Stages of Spirit Fusion and above, was absolutely an invincible existence.
A powerful fist imprint appeared as Fang Yun punched and ruthlessly slammed against the restriction.
“Bang!”
A ripple appeared on the restriction as it shook a few times before calming down.
“This restriction is actually this strong, I’m afraid only experts at the Second or Third Stage of Spirit Fusion would be able to break through it.” Fang Yun said with a serious expression. He did not intend to reveal all his strength just yet. And the meaning behind his words was clear. If Ye Xiao wants to break the restriction, he has to think of another way.
“Let me try again.”
Ye Xiao stared at the restriction and said after a moment of silence.
Fang Yun glanced at Ye Xiao. Seeing that Ye Xiao’s expression is serious and it didn’t seem like he was joking, he took a step back.
Ye Xiao pressed his palm against the restriction and a powerful force surged over. However, this time, Ye Xiao was prepared. When the huge force was used, Ye Xiao used his palm forcefully and did not break away. ．
At the same time, Ye Xiao quietly activated the Eyes of Insight.
Immediately, everything in front of him was revealed clearly. He could now clearly see the formation as well as the distribution of energy and its flow direction. He could also see the strength and weaknesses of the formation.
Completely memorizing the weak points of the restriction, Ye Xiao pointed at those points and used his Chaos Energy to intercept the flow of energy and reverse it.
And with that, he easily broke the restriction. The feeling of obstruction instantly disappeared, and he felt the hollow that should have been there.
A knowing smile appeared on Ye Xiao’s face now that he understood the mechanism of the well.
The moment the restriction on the well disappeared, an extremely dense fluctuation of chaos energy was emitted from it. Ye Xiao jumped in without any hesitation.
“This…” “This is…”
Fang Yun was stunned. This restriction that made him helpless had actually been broken by Ye Xiao with just a gentle touch.
This was quite shocking to him.
The surrounding warriors who were attracted by the commotion felt the strong fluctuations of chaos energy, and all of their faces revealed expressions of excitement, as they rushed towards the well.
“You fools, listen up. Anyone who comes close will die.”
A very powerful aura erupted from Fang Yun’s body as he swept a glance at the swarming people, instantly freezing them in their place. As his body blocked the well, he coldly gazed at the warriors whose eyes were filled with greed.
Seeing their greedy eyes, Fang Yun understood that just his threat alone is unable to stop them. Cold killing intent also burst out from his body.
“Brothers, charge them! What are you afraid of? Could it be that he alone can stop all of us? If we kill him and the guy who entered before, the treasures inside will all be ours.”
Someone from the crowd yelled, instantly triggering the other people, and making them lose their rationality in greed. They yelled as they rushed towards the well.
“Damn! Looks like I’ll have to kill you all!”
Fang Yun shouted coldly. He waved his hand and a spear appeared in his hand. The spear shot out like a dragon and instantly pierced through the bodies of many warriors, instantly killing them. A thick stench of blood instantly spread out.
The crowd was stunned and stopped. They were stimulated by the fresh blood and calmed down. All of them looked at Fang Yun, who was standing opposite of them, with pale faces. It had only been a single move, yet more than a dozen people had died. Among them was no lack of Chaos Spirit Realm warriors.
Now, they were finally truly afraid of Fang Yun.
…..
Ye Xiao jumped into the well and landed on the ground below. He was surprised to see the space inside the well was quite big.
Instantly, a chilling aura attacked him. The chilliness felt like it was about to invade his soul. It was extremely cold. Ye Xiao immediately used his chaos energy to dispel the chill.
He scanned his surroundings. He found that the bottom of the well seemed to be created from a single block of ice frozen at absolute zero temperature.
No wonder it was so cold.
Other than the walls, there were many treasures scattered here and there along with many skeletons. They were all frozen in blocks of ice.
Ye Xiao glanced over and observed all the treasures carefully.
These treasures were all rare medicinal herbs, pills, weapons, etc.
Aside from these treasures, the thing which attracted Ye Xiao’s attention the most was a corpse of a Heavenly Demon. Although it had been dead for countless years, Ye Xiao could still feel his own Heavenly Demon Bloodline greed toward the corpse.
It seems that his Heavenly Demon Bloodline wants to devour this corpse.
