Chapter 4070: Giant Doors
A great many people began to hesitate, wondering if they should continue onwards.
However, people like s.h.i.+ Yongming and Zhong Tian wouldn’t give them time to think. They already started to advance.
Ling Han naturally wouldn’t retreat either. Instead, he was slightly expectant. If he could enter the Netherworld again, he would have a chance to continue increasing the strength of his spirit.
They had not walked too far, when they heard the same sound again.
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before an armored figure appeared before them. This was identical to the one before.
s.h.i.+ Yongming didn’t s.h.i.+rk his responsibilities and immediately delivered a palm strike. However, this armored person was overwhelmingly weak. With a single palm strike, it was directly destroyed. The Yin soul turned into nothing, and the Battle Armor fell onto the ground.
“It’s only at the level of the Cauldron Forging Tier,” everyone said.
As it turned out, the Yin souls here weren’t all of the Core Formation Tier.
This did not rea.s.sure them. On the contrary, they became even more worried.
The more varied the Yin soul’s abilities were, the more likely it was that this was a connecting point to the Netherworld. Otherwise, how could there be such a clear hierarchy?
“Let’s go!”
There would always be those who were courageous and strong. They were completely unafraid, and continued onwards.
As they walked, there were a great many Yin souls that were attached to the Battle Armor, and the gap in strength was very wide. The weakest was only Foundation Building Tier, while the highest could reach Core Formation Tier. So far, they had not seen a Yin soul of True Self Tier or above.
This path was really long. They had already walked for more than an hour. Even if they were on guard and did not dare to walk too fast, after such a long time, the distance they had walked should not be less than 500km.
Where did this lead to?
However, Ling Han knew that they were almost at the end. He could communicate with the ley lines, and the range of his senses far surpa.s.sed the others.
As expected, after walking for a while, they finally reached the end ahead of them. Originally, this was a tunnel. Though it was still quite s.p.a.cious, it only looked like it could accommodate a single carriage, but now that they were here, it suddenly widened, and was incredibly shocking.
A ma.s.sive s.p.a.ce appeared in front of them. It was as tall as three thousand meters, and its width was also several hundred meters, and what was even more astonis.h.i.+ng was that there were actually two tightly shut stone doors in front of them, which were the same height and width as this s.p.a.ce.
Hiss, so grand, so majestic.
At this moment, everyone was transfixed with shock. They were so stunned that they couldn’t speak.
Ling Han was also slightly surprised, because he only knew that they had reached the end, but did not know that there was another door at the end.
What lay behind this door? Was it connected to the Netherworld?
This time, even he was completely unsure.
“Look!” Someone pointed ahead.
At the foot of the great doors, there was presently a rock that was faintly exuding light. Even if it was still very far away, everyone still felt at ease.
Soul Nurturing Stone!
Everyone could confirm that it was the Soul Nurturing Stone.
As expected, this gem had been moved here by the yin souls.
“Haha, I’m coming!” Someone immediately flew out, rus.h.i.+ng towards the Soul Nurturing
Stone.
Xiu, xiu, xiu! With his movement, it instantly caused a considerable number of people to fly as well, rus.h.i.+ng towards the Soul Nurturing Stone.
Meanwhile, Ling Han didn’t move. This was because he could sense danger. This caused his hair to stand on end.
Shua, a cold light flashed past, and then those who had rushed out were all cut in half, blood and internal organs flying in unison.
What!
A great many people had not managed to catch sight of that ray of light, and could only see that those people had suddenly been sliced into two. However, Ling Han could see very clearly. That was a stone statue at the foot of the giant doors had suddenly moved.
It was clearly just a stone statue, yet it was able to shoot out a fierce saber light, slicing at least ten prodigies of the Core Formation Tier into two.
What kind of abilities was this?
This shocked everyone. Those who had not reached there yet all stepped back.
Thankfully, the stone statue didn’t charge out again after completing its attack. Instead, it retreated to its original position, motionless.
“What’s going on?” Many people exclaimed in shock.
After a while, s.h.i.+ Yongming said in a deep voice, “The stone statues at the entrance are guards, and it was one of them that attacked just now.”
“What?”
“We didn’t even see what kind of attack it was, and those people were already dead. How wide
is the gap in strength?”
“Hiss, even True Self Tier elites aren’t this strong, right?”
“Spiritual Transformation Tier!”
Everyone was speechless. If it was only the True Self Tier, then if they used their trump card, it was indeed impossible for them to defeat the stone statue. However, it was still possible that they could steal the Soul Nurturing Stone.
However, in the case of Spiritual Transformation Tier elites… there was absolutely no chance. No matter what trump card they used, charging forward would only result in death. Treasures were indeed good, but if one lost his life, how was he supposed to use them? “Contact the clan again. The situation here is far more important than we can imagine.” “Perhaps, there is a world-shaking treasure hidden behind these stone doors!” Many people’s hearts were stirred, and they became excited. They all opened their connection devices, wanting to communicate with their clans or sects. However, they soon discovered that this place was actually unable to connect to the Galaxy Network.
“We have to go back.”
There was nothing to hesitate about. With the Spirit Transformation Tier-level stone statues standing guard, who would be able to obtain the Soul Nurturing Stone?
Moreover, there wasn’t just one stone statue. Instead, there was a whole row of them.
Everyone turned around and walked back. Ling Han also followed the main troops, but while
he was walking, his divine sense communicated with the ley lines, channeling Earth Qi into tentacles that grabbed out at the Soul Nurturing Stone.
No one saw that the Earth Qi had already grabbed the Soul Nurturing Stone and entered into
the ley lines. Then, it instantly arrived at Ling Han’s feet.
He lowered his body slightly, and with a stretch of his hand, the Soul Nurturing Stone appeared, which he stowed into his Spatial Spirit Tool.
Success!
A smile spread across Ling Han’s face. No one knew about this.
He followed the ma.s.ses, and without leaving the pa.s.sage and about one third of the way, the connection to the Galaxy Network was recovered. Everyone hurriedly reported the situation. Ling Han also managed to contact the Nine Mountains Venerate, relating that there may be
something incredible hidden here.
When the Nine Mountains Venerate heard this, he told Ling Han not to move for the moment. He would immediately rush over with the Saint Tool.
He would rush over with a Saint Tool. Tsk, these words sounded very domineering.
After making the contact, everyone returned one after another.
However, when they arrived in front of those ma.s.sive stone doors, they were all
dumbfounded.
Yi, where was the Soul Nurturing Stone?
It was clearly there just now. Could a dog have eaten it or something?
Everyone was about to go crazy. How could the Soul Nurturing Stone possibly disappear?
There should be no one here that could s.n.a.t.c.h it.
“Could it be that there is a True Self Tier cultivator here?” someone asked.
Unless a True Self Tier cultivator came, only then would he be qualified to obtain the Soul
Nurturing Stone and escape alive. Of course, he would definitely have to use his trump card, or he would still be insta-killed by a Spirit Transformation Tier.
Everyone looked at each other, searching through the crowd. However, there would always be people who knew each other. After eliminating them one by one, it could be confirmed that there was no one in the True Self Tier here, nor was there anyone in the Spiritual
Transformation Tier.
Then what was going on?
Ling Han merely smiled, secretly pleased.
