There were only four people here who were qualified to stop the Piercing Heart Tower, the Equuschick, Qiao Kai Rui, Yi Jiu Feng and Ning Cheng. The first three had all obtained the golden chest and had not publicly torn themselves apart from the Piercing Heart Tower, so it was obviously impossible for them to come out and stop the Piercing Heart Tower.
Ning Cheng had also obtained the Golden Chest, and he was the only cultivator who had torn his face off from the Heart Piercing Tower. If they were to block it, only Ning Cheng could come out and block it, and now that Ning Cheng hadn’t even come out, the Heart Piercing Tower had obtained the Dao Fruits without any surprise.
After Piercing Heart Tower put the Dao Fruits away, he was also relieved in his heart. What he was most worried about was Ning Cheng standing out to block it, just as Ning Cheng was afraid of him, he was equally afraid of Ning Cheng. Now that Ning Cheng did not stand out to block him, he was naturally relieved in his heart.
Four of the five gold chests were now opened, and all the people were staring at Ning Cheng’s gold chest.
Ning Cheng knew that it was impossible for him to open the golden chest alone, and he had to do it in this place as well. The first four chests had all exploded with extremely valuable treasures, and Ning Cheng was somewhat looking forward to what was inside his chest.
The chest opened and inside was only a three inch high black gourd. The gourd was so ordinary that an ordinary divine sense could just sweep into it. There was no dao rhythm, no aura, just an ordinary gourd.
“What is this thing?” This time it was even Yi Jiufeng who could not recognize what kind of gourd Ning Cheng had obtained.
Ning Cheng reached out and held the gourd, which was somewhat cold, but after sweeping his divine sense over the gourd several times, he just didn’t find half an abnormal condition. Turning the gourd upside down, at the bottom of the gourd were two words, Limitless.
“I think this gourd is good, Sovereign Ning if you don’t want it. Why don’t you just give it to me.” Yi Jiufeng could see that Ning Cheng was a little disappointed. Immediately, she said with a smile.
Ning Cheng put the gourd away unhurriedly. “Senior Sister Jiu Feng wants this gourd as well, you can give me that talisman from earlier and then give me a branch of the Wind Thunder Almond Tree and I will exchange it with you.”
Yi Jiufeng giggled, and before she could say anything, the crowd heard a whole creaking sound coming from the middle of the main hall.
The crowd in the hall hurriedly leaned to the side, and soon the middle of the originally bland five-cornered hall slowly spread out to the two sides, and a pitch-black square appeared at the feet of the crowd. The crowd stood at the five corners of the hall and looked down. It was as if they were standing on a tall building of several dozen storeys and looking at the ground level of the patio.
The dark square looked dark and deep under the dim light around it, and the gloomy and cold aura was constantly rushing upwards, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling. From this pentagonal hall to the square below, there were no steps or any place to lend a hand, there was no other way but to fly down.
Ning Cheng’s divine sense swept across this pitch-black square that was like the bottom of a well, and he knew that his divine sense was imprisoned here. Even if it was his astral sea of consciousness. Divine Consciousness was also imprisoned to a great extent. But it was not hard for him to do so, no matter if he used his Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings. Or just jumping down, he would not be hurt half a bit.
“I’ll go down and take a look.” After the Equuschick Tianji finished speaking, he jumped down without hesitation.
The Equuschick Tianji landed in the middle of the square below the Great Hall with a loud boom. Despite not using any flying spells, the hard jump of the Equusculum from dozens of storeys did not hurt him half as much.
After Equuschus Tianji jumped, the rest of the group followed suit. In fact the distance of several dozen storeys would not have harmed these Eternal Realm powerhouses, even if they were unable to use their Astral Element and Divine Sense.
However, Ning Cheng knew very well that it was definitely not a matter of being tens of storeys high, but that this place was similar to the dry well he had met in the Time Desolate Domain before. After jumping down it was a pit, not only was the height far more than a few dozen stories high, but there was also a powerful suction force.
“Click, click, click ……” As the crowd all jumped down, five or six people’s leg bones broke in quick succession.
Tang Yi, Yang Yu and Shi Jin Yu were a few people with slightly lower cultivation levels, and all of their leg bones were broken. It was just that for Eternal Realm cultivators, broken leg bones had no effect at all, and in just the time it took to breathe, they recovered completely.
Ning Cheng was an astral body refining powerhouse and landed on the square without even using his Heavenly Cloud Twin Wings.
Qiao Kai Rui looked at Ning Cheng and smiled heatedly, “No wonder Patriarch Ning was able to make Brother Xin Lou stop, this body refining strength might be a little stronger than Brother Xin Lou.”
Piercing Heart Tower’s face was expressionless, as if he hadn’t heard it at all. Ning Cheng said in a faint voice, “Whether or not it is stronger than the Heartou Emperor I don’t know, but I am definitely a little stronger than you.”
Qiao Kai Rui snorted coldly and did not provoke any further.
The rest of the people paid even less attention to Qiao Kairui’s provocation, as all of them looked directly above this square. There was a paper door directly above this dark square, and a gust of gloomy wind blew on top of it, making a clattering sound.
The paper door did not show any sign of breaking, except for the sound of the wind blowing. On top of the paper door, there were four words, the Gate of Hell.
When the crowd still did not know what was going on, a violent gust of gloomy wind suddenly blew outside the pitch-black square. At this moment, even Ning Cheng’s subtle divine sense was blown out by the violent gust of gloom and could not be stretched out.
The fierce gust of gusty wind soon swept up to where the crowd was standing, and being swept by this fierce wind, the crowd had no way to escape except by using their magic treasures.
Ning Cheng was the first to sacrifice his own Wuji Green Thunder City, followed by Penetrating Heart Tower and the others who had sacrificed their magic treasures. Those with lesser cultivation levels were unable to even sacrifice their magic treasures in their haste because their divine sense had been suppressed too much.
Several miserable cries came out, and Ning Cheng witnessed four or five people being swept away by the nether wind. Even at the Eternal Realm, they were unable to stop this ghastly nether wind. As for where these four or five people had been swept away to, there was no way of knowing.
The wildly swirling Yin winds around the square finally converged, and the two Eternal Realm cultivators who had not been swept away were twisted by this converging Yin wind and became a pile of white bones in an instant.
The winds came and went as quickly as they came, and after a dozen breaths, the winds that had swept across the dark square disappeared. And half of the people in the square were missing.
Tang Yi, who had come with Man Lun, Yang Yu, who had come with Piercing Heart Tower, Shi Jin Yu, the handsome man who had followed Yi Jiu Feng, Jin Ming Qian Bo, Fu Ying Kui, Shi Hao Yan and Emperor Wu Hong were all gone.
Those who remained in the dark square were the four Star Emperors, Ning Cheng, Man Lun, Xin Mao, Mu Hao, Xun Zhi He and Guo San Qian. There were some white bones piled up in the middle of the square, and it was not clear which ones were left behind.
For those who remained at the edge of the square, apart from Ning Cheng who was at the Life and Death Realm, Man Lun and Over San Qian had the worst cultivation level, only at the middle of the Eternal Realm. Although the two of them had escaped, their faces were as pale as dirt and they were in a sorry state.
Even Xun Zhihe, the late stage of the Water Fairy Starry Sky Eternal Realm Starry Sky Emperor, had an ugly face and her hair and clothes were in disarray.
“It looks like we should go out first, it’s too scary here.” The Equestrian said with a sigh.
“How do we get out? There’s no way out of here at all.” Yi Jiufeng didn’t sound too good, she was a little sorry she had jumped in.
Now in this pitch-black square, with restricted divine sense, it was simply impossible to fly up again. Having obtained that kind of treasure in the Five Cornered Hall earlier, no one was willing to be left behind after the large square had appeared. Otherwise, with the caution of the crowd, how could they all jump down?
Just as Yi Jiufeng’s words fell, a whimpering sound once again emanated from around the square. All of them knew very well that the ghastly gust of gloom would sweep over once again.
Great Emperor Man Lun came next to Ning Cheng with some trepidation, “Brother Ning, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to dodge this second wave of Yin winds…”
Knowing what Man Lun meant, Ning Cheng nodded and said, “Brother Man Lun need not worry, this Thunder City of mine is still of some use, Brother Man Lun can just stay behind me.”
Seeing this, Guo Sanqian hurriedly stepped behind Piercing Heart Tower, this was not the time to save face, in case he was caught in this kind of gloomy wind. Either they would be blown to nowhere, or they would be squeezed by the two gusts of nether wind and become skeletal white bones.
Xun Zhihe looked enviously at Ning Cheng’s side, in this place, the best magic treasure to block the Yin winds was naturally Ning Cheng’s Wuji Green Thunder City. The next best was the Heart Piercing Tower’s Burning Sky Eclipsing Tower, only that she had no friendship with Ning Cheng and could only rely on her own strength to resist it.
The whining and chirping Yin wind came again and even formed into substance. This was the first time Ning Cheng had seen a gale that formed into substance, and it was still a Yin wind.
The “whimpering” sound rolled up, and even though Ning Cheng had sacrificed the Infinite Green Thunder City, which had even more restraining effects on the Yin Wind, he still felt uncomfortable all over his body. There was a thought that his mind wanted to leave his body, and this thought kept coming up.
Ning Cheng was secretly shocked in his heart, no wonder those Eternal Realm powerhouses were also swept away by the Yin Wind. It wasn’t just that they couldn’t block this ghastly Yin Wind, but that once they were swept away by this Yin Wind, their Yuan Shen would be blown away. With the Yuan Shen all dissipated, coupled with the suppression of the divine sense and cultivation, it would be strange if anything good could come out of it in the end.
After those Yin winds were blocked by the Infinite Green Thunder City, they were once again bombarded by thunder arcs and quickly swept away around Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Over San Qian scream, “Piercing Heart ……”
Over Sanqian only screamed two words before his voice ended abruptly, obviously swept away by that insidious wind. Ning Cheng’s divine sense was considered the strongest here, and he clearly saw Piercing Heart Tower pushing Over San Qian. A dozen or so breaths later, the gloomy wind calmed down and there was once again one less person.
Over Sanqian was gone, Ning Cheng saw him being swept away by the Yin Wind with his own eyes. Ning Cheng’s face was calm, he knew that just now, when Over Sanqian was swept away by the wind, not only did the Piercing Heart Tower fail to save him, but the Piercing Heart Tower also shaded people behind his back.
Over Sanqian was a junior disciple of the Heart Piercing Tower, and even if the Dao Fruits were obtained by the Heart Piercing Tower, it was because Over Sanqian had suggested it that he had a chance. In fact, not only did Piercing Heart House not save him, but it pushed him hard.
