"What's wrong?" What nonsense are you yelling about? Guo
Ran shouted, startling everyone, but nothing unusual was noticed. Xia Chen couldn't help but say angrily.
"No, we have no way out."
Guo Ran pointed behind him, and as he leaned back, it felt as if an invisible wall blocked his way.
At first, Guo Ran followed the crowd, but suddenly sensed something strange behind him. He turned his head to look back, and in that instant, his forehead touched the invisible wall. Startled, he cried out in alarm. At that moment, he thought there was some invisible being behind him.
"It's nothing strange. This is the Gate of Death. Death energy only goes in and never in, and vitality only enters, never out. Every step we take forward, a wall of death advances behind us, preventing us from retreating. I forgot to tell you earlier." Mo Nian said.
"So what should we do when we leave?" Guo Ran couldn't help but ask.
"Let's wait and see. Maybe we can pass through the skyline from inside the tomb, and then we can exit through the Gate of Life." Mo Nian said.
Everyone moved forward cautiously. Xia Chen reminded Guo Ran not to make any noise; in such a tense moment, people can really be scared to death.
Moving forward along the passage, everyone unconsciously began to hold their breath and tighten their pores. The death aura here was too strong; inhaling too much could harm the body.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Suddenly, a strange sound rang out, startling everyone. Mo Nian replied, "Don't be afraid, the tomb gate is just ahead." Everyone
continued forward, and just as Mo Nian had said, a portal appeared ahead. The gate was not large, nine zhang nine chi high and six zhang six chi wide, and on its dark red gate were countless runes.
"This rune... When
Xia Chen saw the runes above the gate, he was shocked—he had never seen them before.
"These are all curse runes, this one... Can you get through? Although he couldn't recognize the runes on them, after careful inspection, Xia Chen was certain they were all curse runes.
If you pass through this door, you'll inevitably be cursed by runes. This is no joke—being cursed can sometimes be more painful than death.
"It's fine. The clothes I gave you have the Infinite Divine Pattern on them, which can withstand this curse." Mo Nian said, clearly he often did this and was well prepared.
When everyone approached the gate, they realized it was actually a wooden door. Long Chen was shocked: "
What kind of wood is this?" Able to endure for billions of years without decay? "
Ding"
Mo Nian took out a dagger and stabbed it against the wooden door. The domain artifact-grade dagger he had just picked up was actually stabbed through, and not a single mark remained on the door.
"Whoa, what kind of wood is this? It's harder than a domain artifact." Mo Nian was also shocked. Although he had encountered all kinds of doors during tomb raiding, this was the first time he had encountered such terrifying wooden doors.
Although his dagger was a broken domain artifact, it was already extremely sharp, yet not even a single hair remained. That was terrifying.
"Don't look at me, I don't know either. The grain on this wood looks a lot like the Sun Talisman, somewhat similar to the legendary ancient Fusang tree.
But the legendary Fusang ancient wood is yellow or golden, while this ancient tree is black. I dare not say that. Yue Xiaoqian saw Long Chen, Mo Nian, and the others all looking at her. She shook her head and said, even someone as knowledgeable as she could not be sure.
"Fusang Ancient Tree?" The birthplace of the Golden Crow clan? The source of the Solar Fire? Long Chen couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"The grain looks similar, but the colors don't match. Moreover, this wood is inherently black, not like it was dyed later. So, whether it's Fusang ancient wood or not, I really can't say." Yue Xiaoqian said.
Clearly, Yue Xiaoqian was a very meticulous person and wouldn't speculate about things she couldn't be certain.
Long Chen and Mo Nian exchanged a glance and said at the same time, "What's the matter?" Do you want to do it or not? "
The two actually wanted to go together. They both had their eyes on this big door. After talking, they began to study it."
"Crack, crack, crack... "
Just then, the door slowly opened. Long Chen stepped back a step and was knocked into by the door.
With a loud explosion, Long Chen slammed hard into the wall, a violent shockwave erupting, shaking Guo Ran and the others unsteadily.
No one expected that the slowly opening gate would possess such terrifying power. Long Chen was shaken by the door, his blood surging violently, nearly spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Damn, luckily you got hit. If I had been hit, half my life would have been lost. We'd all be leaning against the door." After Mo Nian finished speaking, he addressed everyone.
Everyone didn't understand what was going on, so they hurriedly followed Mo Nian's instructions, pressing tightly against both sides behind the door.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, a powerful air current slowly surged in. The air wasn't fast, but as the air flowed through, Xia Chen immediately felt his breathing was difficult. His body felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, his flesh nearly crushed, and blood oozed from his eyes, nose, nose, and ears.
Long Chen quickly pulled Xia Chen behind him to help him withstand some of the pressure, making Xia Chen feel a bit more comfortable.
As the invisible air flow slowly passed, the gate began to close again. However, Long Chen and the others didn't rush in, because the door's hinge was outside.
"What is that?" How can it be so terrifying? Xia
Chen said with lingering fear. The air flow was too strange, too sudden. If it weren't for Long Chen, he might have been crushed to death. Danger was everywhere here, death could strike at any moment. It was terrifying.
"That's the tomb air current, like a person farting. You can think of a tomb as a living spirit with energy running inside it.
However, I didn't expect the tomb's air currents in this Sky-Burial Land to be so strong. I forgot to warn you, sorry about that. Mo Nian said apologetically.
Although the tomb air currents in the Sky Burial Land posed no threat to him, Xia Chen's body was weak, and without any defenses, he was still very dangerous.
"Let's not talk about that for now. For this wooden door, we brothers—how about two to one for five, one for each family?" Long Chen looked at the massive wooden gate, sensing that this gatekeeper's origin must be extraordinary.
In fact, what Long Chen valued was not the strength of the wooden door itself, nor the runes on it, but the door itself. Long Chen had a bold idea: if he threw the door into the chaotic space, would it take root and sprout? If it succeeds, it will truly be a big deal.
Although the Jianmu Divine Tree still provides Long Chen with immense vitality, as Long Chen enters the Immortal King realm, the tree's healing ability has clearly begun to decline.
You have to know, the vitality of the chaotic space is Long Chen's greatest guarantee for survival. He has to consider planting even stronger trees in the future to replace the Jianmu Divine Tree. If he can make these trees live, it would be truly extraordinary.
"Are you really going to do it?" Mo Nian said in shock.
"You think I amAre you kidding? Long Chen said irritably.
"I've never taken down the Dead Door before, so I don't know what might happen." Mo Nian said baffled. He had thought Long Chen intended to cut off a piece on the door, but unexpectedly, Long Chen wanted to take the whole piece.
"Courage is yield. Come on, I'll chop the door hinge, you catch it. The rest of you step back—the wooden door must be heavy!" As Long Chen spoke, he took out a black dagger, walked to the doorpost, and slashed at the doorframe.
"Ss"
The wooden door, which even the domain artifacts couldn't break, was instantly severed like tofu before the black dagger.
"Buzz"—
When the door shaft was severed, a wooden door collapsed with a terrifying roar. The immense force actually caused cracks in the space.
"Damn it..."
Boom!
Mo Nian tried to prop himself up against the door, but the door crashed down, like a world pressing down. Mo Nian didn't even have a chance to struggle before the door slammed hard against the ground.
After a loud explosion, Mo Nian's figure vanished, leaving only a large door lying quietly on the ground.
"Quick, save him!"
Long Chen was startled, only reacting after his shock.
