If they wanted to enter the altar after opening it, they would have to contribute some of their strength. Otherwise, they would be besieged by everyone present.
Even Yan Chutian wasn't that arrogant to the point of fighting with so many people. Speaking of which, he was the one with the lowest cultivation here.
Therefore, Yan Chutian, Qiu Yu, and Luo Xue had to follow the crowd into the formation set up by the disciple of the Nether Ice Territory. Then, following the guidance of the disciple, they contributed their own spiritual energy.
With the help of so many people, a stone hammer with a strong glow slowly emerged under the operation of the formation set up by the disciple of the Nether Ice Territory.
However, although this stone hammer seemed powerful, in reality, it was only so-so. Wanting to use it to open the stone altar was no different from a fool's dream.
This wasn't because they couldn't gather a large amount of spiritual energy, but because everyone was selfish and wanted to save as much energy as possible.
How could they open the seal easily if they were not of one mind?
Seeing this, the disciple of the Nether Ice Territory and Ye Xuan's faces darkened. Then, Ye Xuan hurriedly said loudly, "Don't hold back. If the spring stops gushing, you won't be able to open the altar even if you try your best!"
Perhaps the words of the young master of the Nether Ice Territory had an effect, but the amount of spiritual energy contributed by the crowd soared. Therefore, the stone hammer grew bigger and bigger. The body of the hammer flashed with light and emitted a strong pressure.
However, while the others used a lot of energy, Yan Chutian still looked leisurely and did not use much energy.
Because even if the spring was not gushing, Yan Chutian was confident that he could break the seal even without the help of so many people. However, it was obviously impossible for him to do so now, so he had to preserve his strength.
As the crowd continued to pour their spiritual energy, the stone hammer's glow became more and more dazzling. When the glow reached a certain level, the disciple of the Nether Ice Territory suddenly pressed his hand down to control the huge stone hammer and fiercely smashed it down on the altar.
"Boom …!"
A deafening roar spread out, but a single strike was clearly unable to break open the stone altar. Instead, cracks spread out on the stone hammer, as if it could shatter at any moment.
This was the difficulty of breaking the seal with brute force. If there were only one or a few people, they would not be able to sustain such a huge consumption. However, there were countless geniuses in this seal-breaking array. Thus, as they poured their spiritual energy into it, the cracks on the stone hammer quickly healed. Then, it was raised high up in the air and smashed down on the stone altar!
"Boom …!"
Every time the stone hammer smashed down with full force, it consumed a lot of spiritual power to repair it. Under such a huge price, the seemingly indestructible ancient stone altar finally had small cracks on its upper part.
The appearance of these cracks undoubtedly gave a lot of people a lot of confidence. As a result, they poured even more spirit power into the hammer, making it even more powerful than before.
No matter how strong the seal was, it would not be able to withstand a series of brute force attacks. In fact, from the moment the cracks appeared, the opening of the stone altar was already a foregone conclusion.
Finally, after who knew how many times the stone hammer smashed down, the top of the stone altar continued to shatter. Then, amidst the rumbling, a huge crack appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The seal had been broken!
As soon as the seal was broken, no one cared about the situation in front of them. They immediately rushed out of the array and rushed into the crack without caring about anything else.
Seeing this, Yan Chutian and the other two naturally did not show any weakness. After all, they had participated in the operation of the seal-breaking array. Therefore, one by one, they rushed out and headed straight for the crack on the stone altar.
"Whoosh …!"
"Whoosh …!"
The sound of wind breaking continued to ring out. Yan Chutian and the other two girls followed closely behind. Spiritual energy surged around their bodies as they rushed into the crack at full speed.
However, when they really passed through the crack, Yan Chutian suddenly realized that the entrance was actually set up like a spatial teleportation. In other words, if they rushed through here, they would not know where they would be sent to.
However, since they had already reached this step, Yan Chutian naturally could not retreat. He could only continue to rush forward. However, he thought that he would most likely be separated from Qiu Yu and Luo Xue for a short time in this ruin.
The situation that followed was not out of Yan Chutian's expectations. After rushing out of the passage, not only were the two girls not behind him, but he was also the only one in the surrounding space.
At this time, Yan Chutian also did not know where he had arrived. He could only see that this was a huge passage. Moreover, there were many similar entrances around the passage, like a maze.
However, this could not stop Yan Chutian. Having traveled extensively in the Heaven Realm, it was not difficult for him to distinguish that this should be a simple checkpoint.
From the looks of it, what was sealed under the stone altar was not a ruin, but a land of opportunity.
Such a first checkpoint might be troublesome for many practitioners, but it was not so for Yan Chutian because he had a pair of Spiritual Eyes. This was an advantage over too many people.
The vertical eye in between his eyebrows slowly opened, and Yan Chutian controlled the Spiritual Eyes to constantly scan the surroundings.
Under the scan of his Spiritual Eyes, he found that the surrounding passages were not simple. There were some unique auras lingering in the passage. They could not be detected with the naked eye, but under the observation of the Spiritual Eyes, he could find that those auras actually had different colors!
Each passage only had one color, and there would never be two colors. If there was a second color, there would definitely be a fork in the road.
Yan Chutian did not know what this meant, but almost instinctively, Yan Chutian felt that he should not walk around casually. Instead, he should choose a certain color aura and move forward along it.
And he did not know if Yan Chutian's instinct was correct, but as he moved forward along the purple aura, he found that this aura was constantly being cut off. In other words, this purple aura was guiding him forward!
From this, Yan Chutian could completely make a reasonable guess. It was probably the same for the other colors as well. As long as he kept moving forward along a certain color aura, it would be the correct way to pass the checkpoint.
Thinking of this, Yan Chutian could not help but worry about Qiu Yu and Luo Xue. If they also encountered the same situation as him, he really did not know if they could find a way to pass the checkpoint like him. After all, they did not have Spiritual Eyes …
However, Yan Chutian knew that no matter how much he worried, it was unnecessary. After all, he could not find them.
Therefore, with a little worry in his heart, Yan Chutian quickly calmed down and continued to focus on moving forward along the color aura, searching for his own opportunity.
Following the color aura and moving forward, if one did not have Spiritual Eyes, Yan Chutian was like a headless fly running around randomly.
And after moving forward like this for about an hour, Yan Chutian finally found the difference in the surrounding situation. He had walked into a long passage, and there were no more forks in the road, only the path in front of him.
Yan Chutian knew that he should have passed the checkpoint on the first day.
After moving forward for more than 15 minutes, Yan Chutian finally saw the end of the passage in front of him. There was actually a stone door.
This stone door was also strange. On the simple and unadorned door, there was a glaring blood red word that seemed to have been carved with fresh blood.
Death!
For a moment, an extremely strong smell of blood rushed to his face. Even Yan Chutian felt a little nauseous.
He knew why such a blood red word could have such a strange side. It was because this blood red word was probably formed by the blood of countless people, and the owner of the blood must have died a tragic death.
Such a blood red word that was not even the size of an abbot could be said to be a river of blood!
Such a scene made Yan Chutian think of the ruins when he first entered the ancient ruins. There were many corpses there, and they were full of resentment. Obviously, they were unwilling to die a tragic death.
Between the two, could there be any connection?
However, Yan Chutian knew that he could not think of anything by thinking like this, so he did not waste time thinking about it. Instead, he directly stepped forward and walked to the stone door.
