Above the void, heaven and earth underwent a massive transformation. Everyone stared at that scene in a daze, their expressions horrified, carrying disbelief. Especially Ye Chu and Yang Hui, whose eyes were already wide open, their expressions blank. A tsunami of shock surged in their hearts.
“It… it is it!” Ye Chu could not remain calm, because the light bursting forth from the void was all too familiar to him. That enormous pattern materialising was precisely the Eight Trigrams Diagram.
This pattern had left an extremely deep impression on Ye Chu, because twice before it had nearly cost him his life. Ye Chu had not expected that he would encounter this pattern again here.
The Eight Trigrams Diagram trembled, terrifying light burst forth, and an absolute aura surged out. With every tremor, it seemed as if all things would explode.
The terrifying light carried a strange power as it trembled down, making everyone’s scalp go numb and their breathing difficult. They stared blankly at the enormous Eight Trigrams Diagram above the void.
“Boom boom…” The Eight Trigrams Diagram trembled without cease. Everyone stared blankly at this scene. The void churned endlessly, as if a giant dragon was stirring the great sea, possessing terrifying might.
This scene made everyone horrified. They stared blankly at the void, gazing at the Eight Trigrams Diagram in a daze. Nuo Ran had also given up on snatching the things shooting out from the palace at this moment, staring blankly at the enormous Eight Trigrams Diagram in the void. Thinking of that item which had been taken away by Young Master Yu Jin, her heart could not remain calm either.
“Crack…”
As space trembled, the earth suddenly split open. A massive crack began spreading from the direction of the palace. A huge chasm shook people’s eyes, bottomless.
And from within, something shot upwards.
This was an enormous stone coffin. The stone coffin was neither jade nor gold, yet it flickered with a glassy sheen, transparent and strange, with patterns flashing upon it. With every flash, the hearts of the cultivators would sink into it.
Through the transparent stone coffin, the group of people could see a corpse lying within. The corpse was clearly displayed before everyone’s eyes. They could clearly see the fine hairs on his body.
Everyone felt apprehensive because of this corpse, wondering about its origins. Yet only Ye Chu’s expression changed drastically. A tsunami of shock surged in his heart. He stared blankly at the stone coffin, because the corpse was far too familiar to him. It actually looked exactly like the old madman again.
Back then, in a basin valley with an Eight Trigrams Diagram, he had seen a corpse. It had also looked like the old madman, leaving Ye Chu puzzled and unable to understand. And now, there was another corpse that looked exactly like the old madman.
“Damn! Could the old madman know some body splitting technique?” Ye Chu stared blankly at the stone coffin before him, watching as the stone coffin continuously rose, suppressing the centre of the Eight Trigrams Diagram. The originally vast aura of the Eight Trigrams Diagram instantly vanished.
This scene made Nuo Ran and the others’ hearts tremble, because this scene was far too shocking. It was so horrifying that people’s expressions showed terror. Just now, the violent might of the Eight Trigrams Diagram could shake heaven and earth. Yet this stone coffin shot forth and suppressed it above, actually suppressing that vast aura.
“Just which powerful expert is in this stone coffin? With just a corpse, it possesses such power. This is absolutely a world shaking expert.” Nuo Ran and the others were horrified, staring blankly at the stone coffin.
“Boom… boom…”
The previous palace completely collapsed. With the collapse, an absolute shockwave burst forth. This force swept out, turning into blades that rolled towards the numerous cultivators. These cultivators simply could not block it. One by one, they screamed, their bodies exploding, blood rain drifting and scattering with the fierce wind. It was truly a scene of blood rain and howling winds.
This scene made Ye Chu recall the scene back in the basin valley. He knew this place absolutely had some connection with the Divine Palace. This time, many cultivators would likely be killed, and blood would dye the ground red.
Thinking of this, Ye Chu dragged Yang Hui and the others, shouting loudly, “Quick! Flee from here! We cannot stay here long!”
As Ye Chu roared, he dragged Yang Hui and the girls, frantically shooting towards the outside, their speed as fast as a howling wind, wanting to break out from here.
Having witnessed the danger of the basin valley, Ye Chu knew this place was absolutely perilous too. If they did not leave now, perhaps they would have no chance to escape. Although Yang Hui and Yang Ning did not know why Ye Chu had suddenly panicked and was fleeing with them, thinking of Ye Chu’s expression just now when he saw the stone coffin, they guessed this place might be a vicious land. They rapidly shot away with Ye Chu, escaping from here.
In Nuo Ran’s impression, Ye Chu had always been carefree, unrestrained, never showing panic or fear. Even when she tried to intimidate Ye Chu with the City of Sanyuan Sect, Ye Chu had stood there smiling, never losing his composure.
But seeing Ye Chu’s expression now, Nuo Ran almost did not think at all, and also rapidly shot away following Ye Chu.
Nuo Ran’s fleeing made some cultivators afraid, and they also frantically fled.
Yu Jin, Gu Xing and the others were fighting over an item that had shot out from the palace. Seeing Nuo Ran fleeing, their brows also slightly twitched, but they did not follow.
“Boom… boom…”
Just as they continued fighting, the ground suddenly trembled. The earth split open, and the ground literally rose up from the earth. The mountains shook and the earth quaked, making their bodies sway.
One of the cultivators took advantage of this opportunity, swept his power, and swept the item obtained from the palace into his bosom. Then he shot towards the outside, wanting to flee.
“Chase!” A group of people chased after him.
“Boom…”
The earth trembled with a surging force, turning into spikes that directly shot up. Instantly, numerous cultivators were pierced through, their intestines and blood flowing all over the ground.
In an instant, one third of the numerous cultivators died.
This scene made Yu Jin, Gu Xing and the other cultivators’ expressions change drastically. Thinking of how Nuo Ran had fled so quickly, they finally understood something. They also forgot about snatching that item shot from the palace. One by one, they shot towards the outside to flee.
But having missed the timing, wanting to flee became exceptionally difficult. Every time the earth trembled, cultivators’ bodies would certainly explode, turning into blood rain that drifted through space.
Although Yu Jin, Gu Xing and the others were not weak in strength, they were also forced into repeated dangers by the various bursting forces.
“Damn it! What kind of ghostly place is this?” Gu Xing and the others cursed, watching as the ground literally rose up. The appearance of the rising ground was precisely the Eight Trigrams Diagram.
Yu Jin suddenly thought of a possibility, and his heart was instantly covered in coldness. “Could this have something to do with the Divine Palace?”
Thinking that this place had a connection with the forbidden land, Yu Jin’s entire body got goosebumps. He no longer dared to hold any luck, exploding his speed to the extreme, shooting towards the outside.
The earth continued to tremble endlessly. Every tremor swept away with force, taking the lives of cultivators one by one, blood dyeing the ground red.
These cultivators, every one of them had decent talent. If placed outside, they would all be considered extremely outstanding. Yet such large numbers of cultivators exploded here, leaving no bones, turning into blood rain.
The group of people finally panicked, frantically fleeing towards the outside. With every movement, their speed was as fast as lightning, wanting to escape from here.
Amidst the continuously drifting blood rain, someone finally escaped from this patch of earth. But compared to the dead, those who escaped were several times fewer.
