"Everyone, enter the Cloud Dream Temple!"
An icy voice echoed in the void.
Many powerful experts flew towards Yunmeng Marsh, where the Cloud Dream Temple was surrounded by eighty-one Formation layers, each one shining brilliantly and reaching high into the clouds.
They formed eighty-one sky curtains, enveloping the Cloud Dream Temple within them.
The experts from both Nantian Holy Land and Nantian Holy Institute rose and strode towards the Cloud Dream Temple, side by side.
As they passed by Xiao Yi.
A youth from the Nantian Holy Institute, with sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, a high nose bridge, and a small black mole on his lip corner, cracked a cold smile, "Xiao Yi, right? You'd better hope you don't run into me inside the Cloud Dream Temple! Otherwise, I won't show any mercy!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
He flicked his finger, and a small light, like a firefly, sparkled and zipped into the far distance with a whoosh.
In just an instant...
This tiny cold light landed ten miles away.
And the five-hundred-zhang tall mountain peak began to erupt with dazzling light from the middle, with a 'toot' sound.
In the blink of an eye, the light swallowed the mountain whole.
Reduced to a sky full of fine dust.
Just this single strike was no weaker than the experts from the Longevity Secret Realm.
This was definitely a formidable adversary.
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes into a sliver, watching the people from Nantian Holy Institute head towards the Cloud Dream Temple; Yue Shanchuan spoke gravely next to him, "Xiao, be very careful of this person. He is Hu Junyi, the top external student of the Nantian Holy Institute. According to the information Changsheng Sect obtained, he's extremely talented and possesses a powerful killing weapon, the Eighth-layer Yuan Weapon Hao Tian Sword. You must be very cautious!"
"Hao Tian Sword? Eighth-layer Yuan Weapon?"
Xiao Yi arched an eyebrow.
He could faintly feel within his body, the Demon Sword Zhan Yue trembling with a buzzing sound, conveying emotions of bloodlust and excitement.
The Zhan Yue was expressing its desire, it was coveting the Hao Tian Sword!
The corners of Xiao Yi's mouth upturned slightly, as he communicated with Zhan Yue, "Don't worry, once I've slaughtered Hu Junyi, his Hao Tian Sword will become your feast."
Zhan Yue buzzed excitedly.
This was a Demon Weapon capable of consuming other Yuan Weapons to elevate its rank. If it could devour the Hao Tian Sword, Zhan Yue might return to an Eighth-layer level.
Although Zhan Yue was already a Seventh-layer Yuan Weapon, just one step away from the Eighth-layer.
Yet the difference between the two was still like that between heaven and earth.
While Xiao Yi was contemplating how to outwit Hu Junyi and seize the Hao Tian Sword, Su Can and Su Lan also passed by him. They made a throat-slitting gesture at Xiao Yi, their expressions venomous, "Clean your neck and wait for death!"
As soon as they spoke.
Su Can and the others did not wait for Xiao Yi's response and dove into Yunmeng Marsh.
More than half of the powerful figures present had shown hostility towards Xiao Yi.
Yue Shanchuan said with a wry smile, "Xiao, how many people have you offended exactly?"
Xiao Yi rolled his eyes and replied, "I am so pure and righteous, yet they always come looking for trouble with me. What can I do about it?"
High above in the void, Elder Tianku indifferently said, "Are you two not going in yet?"
Xiao Yi and his companion immediately flew towards Yunmeng Marsh and with a hum, entered into its midst.
For a moment, the light was blinding.
The formation inside and outside Yunmeng Marsh had been elevated by a notch, becoming even more formidable. Even a supreme being from heaven might not be able to forcibly break in. Elder Tianku and Su Xinghe and the rest had their pupils slightly constricted, "Could it be that someone is manipulating the Array in secret? Otherwise, how could the Formation become stronger just after they entered?"
Nantian Lie narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Elder Tianku beside him and sneered, "Elder Tianku, the Changsheng Sect employs quite the tactics, planting spies within all factions. I just wonder if there are any of your Changsheng Sect's people in my Nantian Holy Institute?"
Su Xinghe and others all turned their gazes toward Elder Tianku.
Elder Tianku's lips slightly curled upward as he said indifferently, "What do you think?"
Nantian Lie snorted coldly.
Yang Dingtian, standing beside him, wore an amused expression and spoke with revulsion, "You heretics should not exist in this world. No matter how many spies you've placed, you'll all end up dead!"
Elder Tianku chuckled disdainfully and stated, "Yang Dingtian, it is our Changsheng Sect that represents the true orthodox path of martial arts. You should know who the real heretics are."
"The true path of martial arts? With you lot?"
Yang Dingtian laughed scornfully, his eyes full of contempt and mockery, "If you were truly the orthodox path, why would you need to skulk about like rats?"
Elder Tianku suddenly released a terrifying energy fluctuation, transforming into a sky of Evil Qi that swept in all directions, and he said coldly, "Yang Dingtian, are you seeking to fight against me?"
"Are you thinking I'm afraid of you?" Yang Dingtian's voice roared like thunder, resonating powerfully.
Their momentum actually solidified into substance, like two peaks colliding in the void.
Loud rumbling sounds.
Reverberated between heaven and earth.
A great battle was about to erupt...
Su Xinghe suddenly spoke out, "Look quickly..."
Everyone was taken aback and looked towards the direction of Yunmeng Marsh...
Inside Yunmeng Marsh.
Xiao Yi and others had just passed through the Formation and entered, only to find that the Formation was constantly strengthening.
The scenery in front of them also kept changing.
In front of them appeared a bottomless gorge, dark and terrifying, its depth unknown. Nine iron chains spanned above the gorge, many of them hidden among the clouds and fog, occasionally emitting loud clanging sounds when gusts of wind blew past, which was hair-raising. On the other side of the iron chains was the opposite side of the gorge.
A circular light gate floated in mid-air, swallowing and spitting piercing light.
Luminous stripes in thousands, radiant paths in ten-thousands.
A deep voice simultaneously echoed in everyone's ears, "Before you lies the Godfall Demon Abyss. Above it, you cannot fly, and you must pass over the chasm by way of the chains to reach the mysterious gate on the opposite side. If anyone falls into the Godfall Demon Abyss below, even those with longevity will face certain death. Beware not to fall into the demon abyss, beware, beware..."
"What Godfall Demon Abyss, what mysterious heavenly gate? This is nothing but trickery and deception, just an illusion. When we entered just now, there was merely a flat path. I am certain that this is an Illusion Array, and everything before us is but an illusion!" A peak expert from the Tao Tribulation Realm Peak analyzed confidently, and his point was acknowledged by quite a few others.
Whether outside Yunmeng Marsh or upon first entering this place.
It indeed had been a flat path.
There was no Godfall Demon Abyss at all.
"You make a good point!"
"But I think we shouldn't take risks. Should we find someone to test it?"
"Test it? What if it's real? Who is willing to take that risk first?"
All eyes turned unanimously to Xiao Yi...
