Chapter 342 – Heavenly Saint Sword’s Rebirth!
The ancient black altar looked like a black mountain, it had just appeared out of nowhere, and black fog hovered around it, causing it to look extremely eerie. Above the altar, there was a black gate which led to an unknown place.
The people in the crowd looked at the gate, trembling. They couldn’t help but feel somewhat scared when looking at it.
“What an eerie gate! If I didn’t know that this was the gate that leads us outside the Island of Ice, I would have thought it might bring us to hell!”
“This is the Island of Ice’s exit. Since there’s only one gate here, I don’t think there will be any dangers at all.”
…………
Many people felt their souls trembling as they looked at the gate. All of them had stopped right below the altar, none had the courage to enter first.
Right at this moment, many warriors suddenly appeared in the center of the Island of Ice. Each of them wore the same puzzled expressions.
“What happened? I was fighting those monsters on that path, why am I suddenly here?”
“I’ve just been here for a day, why was I suddenly brought here?”
All of the newcomers wore the same puzzled expressions. They were in the middle of the nine paths before this, some of them had even entered the Gates of Life and Death. But suddenly, all of them had been brought here by a mysterious force.
“Once the exit appears, the entrance will be completely shut. All of you are latecomers who had yet to reach the center of this island, so once the exit appeared, every single human who had yet to reach the center would be automatically be teleported here. If not, you’d be completely trapped here for at least another hundred years, forced to wait for the Island of Ice’s next opening.”
Someone explained.
The crowd finally understood. They were teleported here because the Island of Ice’s exit had appeared.
Bang!
The dark altar continuously produced ‘bang’ sounds. The black gate became even eerier following each ‘bang’ sound, causing all those who looked at it to feel frightened.
At this moment, at a spot far behind the place where the crowd stood, three figures sneakily appeared. The three figures stared at the black altar. They were none other than Han Yan, Nangong Wentian, and Big Yellow.
“The exit has appeared, what should we do now? Do we just go there?”
Han Yan asked.
“Are you idiot? If we go there right now, they will definitely tear us apart!”
Nangong Wentian glared at Han Yan. Han Yan’s head must have been kicked by a donkey for him to make such a suggestion. Wu Cong, as well as the Combat Soul geniuses from the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect were waiting to eat them alive. If they showed themselves in front of these men, only certain death would await them. Even their bodies wouldn’t be left in one piece.
“We can’t go there right now, let’s just wait for Little Chen.”
Big Yellow said.
“It has been three days since Little Chen dived into the magma pool, but he still hasn’t come out. Could there have been any problems?”
Han Yan was a bit worried about Jiang Chen. It wasn’t only he who was worried, in such a situation, even Nangong Wentian was starting to worry.
“Don’t worry, Little Chen has the True Dragon Flame to protect him, and his body is also extremely powerful. The magma won’t be able to hurt him a bit. If my guess is correct, he must have found the Magma’s Heart, and is in the middle of absorbing it. Once he comes out, his cultivation will have reached new heights, and Wu Cong won’t be his match then.”
Big Yellow said while shaking his head. He knew Jiang Chen really well.
…………
Underneath the ancient black altar, dark fog was hovering around. Everyone were holding their breaths, not daring to say a word.
“What should we do now? We need to act fast, if we don’t leave now, the gate might close at any time.”
Shangguan Yilong said.
“I’ll be the first.”
A genius from the Martial Palace leapt onto the altar. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared right into the black gate. The gate seemed to sway a little, before returning to normal.
“Nothing happened, this is just a gate that leads to the outside world. Let’s go!”
After the first guy left without any signs of danger appearing, more and more people followed behind, dashing right into the black gate and disappearing from the scene. In just a few minutes time, all the Divine Core warriors on the Island of Ice, with the exception of Jiang Chen and his group, disappeared into the black gate.
Wu Cong, together with the ones from the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect were still looking at the magma pool. It was still calm, and nothing unusual could be seen.
“Prince, Jiang Chen must have died in there.”
Ling Du said.
“It really is a pity that we didn’t get that Emperor Weapon.”
Shangguan Yihong shook his head.
“Damn it, those two bastards and that vile dog still aren’t here! Don’t tell me they really want to stay here for another hundred years?”
Shangguan Yilong cursed. This trip to the Island of Ice was a really depressing journey for them. All the Divine Core geniuses they brought been killed. The Myriad Sword Sect was facing the same situation, all that remained were only a few Combat Soul warriors. They had suffered tremendous losses, and they couldn’t even find the culprit. If they went back like this, there was no way they could explain it to their respective sects, and they might receive serious punishments when they returned.
“Haha, you guys just keep waiting here, I don’t think they’re going to come here.”
Wu Lang started laughing, then he turned around and disappeared into the black gate.
A gloomy expression could be seen on Wu Cong’s face. He too felt extremely depressed. Throwing his glance once again at the calm surface of the magma pool, and the empty land behind him, he said, “Let’s go, I think Jiang Chen really died in the magma pool. As for those three guys, if we keep standing here, they would rather be trapped here for another hundred years than show up in front of us.”
