Chapter 474: The Bone-filled Battlefield

After shooting out the extreme rank great weapon, the space crack stopped shooting out things and seemed to start closing up.
”No! The crack is about to close up!”
”It has released four mid rank weapons, eight top rank weapons, and an extreme weapon. It was indeed a treasure factory! Not being able to go in and have a look was the biggest shame.”
”Who dared to go in there? If it were before, maybe we could risk our lives and give it a try. But now that the space crack is closing up, if we go in there, we would not be able to come back!”
Everyone looked extremely regretful as they watched the crack became smaller and smaller.
”Eh? It is not closing up, but turning into a door of some sort… a door to go inside!”
At that moment, their expressions froze on their faces. Most of them looked extremely happy as if they had just found a random treasure lying in front of them. It would be a great opportunity for them, and they felt that it would be wrong to not go in.
Ye Chen looked extra serious as he looked at that door cautiously. It was six meters wide and twelve meters tall. Its surface seemed a bit see through like a crystal; under the reflection of the sunlight, it shone seven different colored lights. There seemed to be a path behind that door, and even the walls of the tunnel were crystalline. However, there seemed to be a black qi covering those walls, making them look horrifying.
The end of the tunnel was covered with a layer of light, so he could not tell how far deep it went.
”Such a rare chance…I have to go in!” Someone flew toward the door and arrived behind it without a scratch.
Everyone saw that nothing had happened to him, so they could not wait to try it for themselves. They started to worry if they went in there too slow, someone else would steal their treasures.
Soon, more than half of the people entered the tunnel, and the leading group had already reached the light layer at the end of the tunnel.
”Should we go in?” Li Xiaoyun asked with a hesitation. His instinct was telling him that there was great danger behind that door, dangerous enough to cost his life at any second.
Jing Aoxuan said, ”Let's wait a bit longer. Those Sea of Souls Realm warriors have not moved yet.”
Ye Chen nodded. The forbidden place was not scary; what was scary was this kind of parallel space that did not belong to their world. After entering, it would be extremely hard to get out. They did not have to power to break open space after all.
His eyes wandered around the crowd when his eyes froze a bit on a familiar figure. ”Murong!”
Among the crowd, a lady in a purple dress and wearing a light face cloth entered the door without looking back.
”Everyone, excuse me, but I have to go first.” He held his fists to greet them before pushing his speed to his limit and following behind her.
Chu Zhongtian sneered, ”Women… always women.”
Li Xiaoyun said, ”Brother Chu, a relationship does not always have to be in the way of martial training. It exists for a reason.”
The latter made a face in response. He only needed the kind of women who would listen to his orders and do whatever he wanted, the kind that did not create troubles.
Ye Chen did not think much before making this decision. He was just following his heart — he wanted to go, so he did.
After he entered the spatial door, he could no longer see Murong Qingcheng. He projected his soul power ahead and sensed that she was there four miles ahead of him already, with hundreds of people in between them.
After letting out a breath of impure qi, he scanned around the tunnel. It was made of space power, although without its aggressiveness, hence being very stable and unbreakable.
”What is going on with this black qi?”
Ye Chen realized that this black qi seemed to have its own spirit. It seemed to be ”struggling” and trying to escape from some form of restraint. Especially when someone was walking past, that ”struggle” seemed to be at its peak intensity.
”I should be careful.”
Unconsciously, he walked in the center of the tunnel while trying his best to increase the distance between him and the black qi.
”AHH!”
A sudden cry came out of nowhere.
The voice came from ahead, the source being some Astral Reaching Realm warrior who had tried to go ahead and walked close to the wall. He did not expect that the black qi would expand suddenly and drain him like a dried out corpse, leaving him with only gray skin and his bones that seemed about to shatter.
”Do not get close to the walls. The black qi seems strange!” Everyone was shocked on seeing this, and subsequently tried their best to stand in the middle.
Before the incident, things were rather calm. But, on knowing that this black qi could kill them, they all started to panic and pushing each other into the black qi accidentally. As a result, those people ended up dying without even knowing why.
After the population decreased a bit, the mess finally calmed down a bit.
”Indeed as expected...” Ye Chen's pupils shrunk a bit as he forced himself to walk ahead.
No matter how long a tunnel was, there was bound to be an end. At this moment, blocking in front of Ye Chen was a light layer, with all of the people ahead having disappeared behind it.
After stepping forward, Ye Chen also joined them.
...
Outside the spatial door were left only around one hundred people, half of them being warriors from rank 5 martial schools. They were arguing about the axe and who it should belong to.
”It looks like the door is harmless. It does not look like will disappear at any time soon. If we don't go inside now, then there will not be many good things left for us.” One of the spirit level warriors said.
”Indeed! There must be danger within, but as long the space does not collapse again, it should be no different from a normal forbidden place.”
”Let's go inside!”
”Let's go!”
All of the Sea of Souls Realm warriors who had been waiting all this while finally flew toward the spatial door.
”Princess, come in with us.”
”Xiaoyun, this way.”
”Zhongtian, let's go as well.”
Amongst the rank 5 martial schools in Thunder city were those of Jing Aoxuan, Li Xiaoyun, and Chu Zhongtian. The three of them had been guided by their inner masters as they also flew toward the door. But of course, they had left behind another half of the warriors to guard their axe.
All of a sudden, the whole area had only disciples from rank 5 martial schools left.
