Chapter 331 – Martial Palace’s Warriors (2/2)

The stone tablet shattered into many pieces after the loud bang.

Ding!

Following a dinging sound, a heavy object fell onto the ground. All the men from the Shangguan Clan immediately threw their glance at the object at the same time.

“Brother Yilong, look, something fell out from the stone tablet!”

Someone exclaimed.

Shangguan Yilong was surprised as well. He held his palm toward the object, then a suction force emerged, pulling the object into his grip. When the object landed in his palm, he immediately felt its massive weight, and his expression changed.

“It’s just a small bronze plate, but it weighs over a thousand Jin! Looks like it’s something unusual.”

Shangguan Yilong was surprised.

“Brother Yilong, this looks like an ordinary broken bronze plate, I don’t think it’s a big deal.”

Someone commented. The broken bronze plate seemed extraordinary, he couldn’t see anything unusual about it.

“Brother Yilong, look, the gray fog is disappearing!”

Someone cried out in alarm. Only now did everyone notice the gray fog disappearing. After the stone tablet was destroyed, the gray fog that was constantly hovering around in this place started disappearing at a rapid pace, and the air had become clearer as well.

“So it’s all because of this stone tablet. We could only leave this place after the stone tablet was broken. Since this bronze plate fell out from the stone tablet, I believe there must be something unusual about it. Let’s keep it for now.”

Shangguan Yilong place the bronze plate into his storage ring. After that, he brought all the men from the Shangguan Clan and continued further. Their next goal was to find Han Yan and the others. However, they understood that unless they were really lucky, it would be incredibly difficult to bump into the trio in this place, let alone kill them.

Two days later, some men with extraordinary cultivations arrived at the end of the road, and were approaching the center of the Island of Ice.

Within the Gate of Void, Jiang Chen had fight constantly without stop for two days, but there wasn’t much for him to get. None of the demon beasts here were strong, none of them were Combat Soul demons, and with Jiang Chen’s cultivation, absorbing Divine Core Demon Souls didn’t help much, which led him to an awful situation. After fighting restlessly for two days and killing countless demon beasts, Jiang Chen had absorbed countless Demon Souls, which only gave him another 40 Dragon Marks. He still needed 60 Dragon Marks in order to break through to the Late Divine Core realm.

“Damn it, the Dragon Transformation skill is such an insane skill, it’s turning me into a bottomless hole! Looks like it will difficult for me to break through to the Late Divine Core realm unless I find a Combat Soul Demon Soul. Never mind, I can feel I’m approaching the end of this road, let’s leave this place first.”

Jiang Chen felt really gloomy right now. His path of cultivation was really difficult, and he started worrying about his future. He was only at the Divine Core realm right now, and it was already so difficult to break through to the next stage.

…………

Right in the center of the Island of Ice, there was a tall and ancient pagoda. This pagoda had seven levels, and numerous mysterious runes were engraved onto its wall. The pagoda surface was rusty, and seemed old. Clearly, it had existed for quite a long period of time.

Right now, about 50 kilometers away from the ancient pagoda, two illusionary gates started swaying. From time to time, some people would come out from these gates. Not long after that, more than a hundred people had come out from both gates, and there were still more people coming.

“Wahaha, daddy has finally come out from that gate! Daddy has finally reached the center of the Island of Ice!”

“Risk and opportunity exists side by side! I almost died in the Gate of Life, but I luckily broke through to the next stage at the final moment, the Late Divine Core realm! Looks like I’m a man with tremendous luck, I’m sure I’ll get some unimaginable benefits in this Island of Ice!”

These two illusionary gates were the exits for the Gates of Life and Death. Those who came out from them had mostly experienced life or death situation. Many of them were injured, and some had obtained great benefits, leading to their cultivations improving significantly. Regardless of which gate, the mentalities of those who had come out had improved significantly. Even without obtaining any treasures, they would be able to become someone great with their own persistence.

“Hmph! I don’t know where those three bastards went. In the end, we still didn’t find them!”

Led by Shangguan Yilong, the men from the Shangguan Clan came out from the Gate of Death. Each of them wore the same gloomy expression.

Ling Du had also come out together with them. His complexion wasn’t good either, he had gone through some bad experiences in the Gate of Death. He had been trapped in some difficult situations, and not only did he not bump into Han Yan and the group, he didn’t find any good treasures either. He had only obtained a broken bronze plate, and he didn’t have any clue what it was for.

Right at this moment, both gates produced some buzzing sounds at the same time. Suddenly, some men with powerful cultivations dashed out from the gates. When these men left the gate, their incredible speed instantly brought a strong wind with them. In the blink of an eye, there were eight men who had come out from the gate. Each of them were a Combat Soul warrior, and the two leading men were even Mid Combat Soul warriors!

The fact was, only those under 30 were allowed to enter this place. Being at the Mid Combat Soul realm at this age, they could only be described as monsters! In the entire Eastern Continent, they could be considered the top geniuses.

Each of these eight warriors wore the same prideful expressions on their faces. It was the pride that came deep down from their bones. Of course, they had the qualifications to be proud, because all of them came from the same place – Martial Palace!
