Whoosh!

Dozens of figures skimmed like fish over the chaotic sea of spiritual energy. Magnificent spiritual energy was flowing around them, resisting the formidable pressure coming from all directions.

Compared to their speed outside the mirror, the figures were obviously slower now.

The pressure of the spiritual energy in the sea of spiritual energy was intimidating. A huge amount of spiritual energy would be consumed just to take one step forward.

Therefore, even though all members of the four teams were top-notch experts, it was impossible for them to stroll easily through this sea of spiritual energy.

Because of the pressure of spiritual energy, after several minutes, the strength gap between teammates started to show. For example, in Mu Chen’s team, Mu Chen and Luo Li were in front; however, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong were lagging behind about 110 feet while Su Xuan was at the rear of the team.

Although Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong had pushed their spiritual energy to the upper limit, they still couldn’t catch up with Mu Chen and Luo Li.

Similarly, in the other three teams, the strength gap between teammates also could be clearly seen.

Su Xuan was the last one in the line. Her face was flushed. The spiritual energy permeating around her body was also in disorder. She realized her spiritual energy was about to run out.

“Need help?” Mu Chen’s voice, which was wrapped in his spiritual energy, came to Su Xuan’s ears.

Clenching her teeth slightly, Su Xuan shook her head and said, “It seems I can’t make it this time. The rest is on you. Don’t stop for me.”

Su Xuan knew what she should do now was not be a burden on Mu Chen and Luo Li. After all, it was unnecessary for all of them to walk out of this Sea of Judgement. As long as one of them could reach the end, it should be a victory for their team.

Hearing her words, Mu Chen hesitated a bit and finally nodded. Now was not a good time to be indecisive and stop for teammates.

“Then I’ll go first. You take care!”

As he said this, Mu Chen took a deep breath. The black lightning on his body was brighter than before. Stomping his feet, he blasted the liquid spiritual energy under him. The next moment, he started to abruptly speed up.

Luo Li formed spiritual seals with her jade-like hands. The spiritual energy formed a light, flowing film on the surface of her body. Her measure was not as tough as Mu Chen’s measures. However, she could subtly divert some of the spiritual energy pressure to keep her speed.

Behind them, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong had wry smiles on their faces upon seeing Mu Chen and Luo Li drifting away. Their situation was a little bit better Su Xuan’s. However, through the rapid consumption of spiritual energy, they realized they couldn’t keep up with Mu Chen and Luo Li.

Swish!

The four of them formed two small teams and dashed towards the end, one after the other.

In the distance, obvious gaps could also be found in the other three teams. Only their captains could take the lead in the front.

Splash! Splash!

The sound of striking the liquid spiritual energy was just like flowing water. Everyone’s faces were filled with solemnity. When they skimmed over, they also stayed alert. It seemed the Sea of Judgement was tranquil now, but it gave them a vague feeling of uneasiness.

Presumably, this place shouldn’t be as simple as it seemed to be.

Mu Chen’s eyes were flickering slightly. He was staring at the Sea of Judgement, which was quiet. Suddenly, his eyes contracted. He sensed the liquid spiritual energy around him had been agitated.

“Everyone, stay alert!” Mu Chen said in a low voice.

Hardly were the words out of his mouth when Luo Li changed her expression and said hurriedly, “Look out! Something is beneath us!”

Luo Li’s words caused a twinge in Mu Chen’s heart. He looked back and found an enormous spiritual energy whirlpool had suddenly appeared beneath them in the sea of spiritual energy. The whirlpool was rotating slowly like a big mouth, as if it were about to devour them.

The spiritual energy whirlpool was emitting a powerful suction force, slowing all of them down.

Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong were at the bottom. They were greatly surprised, for they were in range of the whirlpool’s suction force. They were instantly slowed down like snails and were even drawn backwards a bit.

“D*mn!”

Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong immediately looked surly. They had pushed their spiritual energy to the upper limit. However, they found the rotation of the spiritual energy whirlpool was faster and faster, and the whirlpool was rapidly approaching them.

“You go first!”
