Behind the concealment formation was a winding tunnel that led to the depths of the earth. At this moment, many peak experts were squeezed into the narrow tunnel. Their eyes flickered with excitement, excitement, and curiosity towards the unknown as they slowly made their way down the winding tunnel.
They did not move very quickly. They remained vigilant the entire time. Not only did they have to be wary of the people around them, but they also had to be wary of any dangers that might suddenly appear in this unknown place.
This was because this place was just too mysterious. Not only did it possess a concealment formation that prevented them from seeing through the senses of their souls, but it was also permeated with a mysterious power that could suppress the senses of their souls. As a result, all of them realised just how extraordinary this mysterious place was.
As a result, all of them were wary of this unknown place.
Compared to their caution, Jianchen, who had already been here once and was extremely familiar with this place, did not have any concerns at all. He moved through the winding tunnel as quickly as he could, heading towards the depths of the earth where the corpses of the eight experts were bound.
At the same time, Caia, who had remained in the cave the entire time, turned her head as if she sensed something. She looked in the direction of the entrance and a sliver of joy appeared in her eyes. She murmured, "It's Jianchen's presence. Jianchen has returned. After so many years, he's finally returned." Sensing Jianchen's presence, Caia immediately became slightly excited.
However, she frowned very soon, "That's strange. Jianchen seems to be in a hurry." However, as soon as she thought of that, Caia's face suddenly changed.
This was because she had sharply sensed several dozen powerful presences behind Jianchen. The owner of each presence possessed terrifying power that could shake up the world.
Caia sensed that something was amiss and became anxious inside. She didn't realize that in this underground cave where her Divine Sense was almost suppressed to the point where she couldn't use it, and even her senses were almost lost, how could she sense those top powerhouses who were still quite far away from here?
"These people have come with ill intentions, and they're getting closer and closer to Jianchen. If they catch up to Jianchen, it'll definitely be detrimental to Jianchen. What should I do? What should I do …" Caia's face was filled with anxiety as she paced back and forth uneasily.
All of a sudden, she seemed to have thought of something. She immediately looked at the ancient beast corpse that was chained up not far away.
Caia arrived before the corpse and extended her hand without any hesitation at all. She pressed it against the corpse and the Laws of Fire surged out, pouring them all into the corpse.
She did not know why she would do something like that, nor did she know what the consequences would be. Everything was because an instinct from the depths of her soul urged her to do so.
The corpse before Caia was the one who had passed on the Laws of Fire to Jianchen out of the eight experts. An extremely powerful vital energy was sealed within the corpse. There were layers of restrictions around the vital energy that could block out all external powers.
The restrictions had been left behind by the ancient beast when it was still alive to protect the last strand of vital energy it had left behind.
Unless it was the golden core of laws it had left behind, no power, even the Laws of Fire, could break through the restrictions and awaken the vital energy it had sealed within, destroying what the eight of them had set up back then.
However, when the Laws of Fire from Caia came in contact with the second layer of restrictions, the restrictions actually melted away silently.
In the end, the Laws of Fire from Caia entered the terrifying vital energy without any obstructions.
Immediately, the vital energy sealed within the ancient beast seemed to awaken from its slumber. It began to surge violently. An unbelievably great power suddenly erupted with a terrifying pressure, forming an invisible storm that wreaked havoc in the cavern.
At this moment, the corpse of the ancient beast that had died countless years ago seemed to be brimming with life once again. It displayed its might from the past, shaking up the surroundings.
Caia was forced back by the pressure. Only when he had retreated over ten kilometers did he come to a halt. He stared at the corpse of the ancient beast and became stunned. He had no idea what to do.
Within the winding passageway that led underground.
"The suppression of the senses of the soul has become more and more powerful. It's gone from the initial three kilometers to two kilometers. There's no trace of Jianchen within these two kilometers … "
"Since Jianchen knows about this place, he must have been here before. If he dares to move so quickly, it means there's not too much danger here …"
"I think we've been overly cautious. This place is mysterious, but we're peak figures who have become Grand Primes after all. There really aren't a lot of places in the world that can threaten us …"
"We can't be careless. Even the senses of our souls have been suppressed so severely. The expert who cast down this place is far more powerful than us. They're terrifying existences like the Heaven-splitting Ancestor or the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng at the very least. It's best to be careful …"
However, they moved faster and faster. Very soon, they surpassed Jianchen's current speed.
The distance between them and Jianchen rapidly closed.
Five kilometers …
Four kilometers …
Three kilometers …
The distance between them grew closer and closer.
As Jianchen's soul had fused with a sliver of true Chaotic Force, the suppression he faced was much easier compared to the peak experts. As a result, he could already sense the approach of the people behind him, which made his heart sink.
If this continued, even if he reached the cavern first, he probably would not have enough time to awaken the vital energy within the eight experts.
However, at this moment, the entire passageway began to shake violently. Afterwards, a shockingly powerful pulse of energy permeated the surroundings with a tremendous pressure. It filled the entire space in a single instance, being transmitted into the passageway.
The strength of this pressure and the frightening energy caused the expressions of all the top experts in the tunnel to change drastically. Their advancing footsteps also came to a sudden halt as fear was revealed in their eyes.
Jianchen's heart shuddered. The golden core of the Laws of Fire in his soul trembled gently. He immediately guessed that Caia had awakened the vital energy of one of the experts deep underground.
"What a terrifying presence. T- at the very least, the person who possesses this presence is an Eighth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime …"
"It's even possible that they've reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer, the same level as the Heaven-splitting Ancestor and the first majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng …"
The top experts all stopped in the winding passageway that led to the depths of the ground. Everyone's expression had become unprecedentedly solemn. The sudden and terrifying aura had caused many of them to tremble with fear.
Experts like that were only second to Grand Exalts. They were even more powerful than the Celestial Sword Saint that they knew. All of them feared someone like that.
"No!" Very soon, a cry rang out, "Don't you feel that the presence and pressure from the energy seems to be a little strong on the outside, like it's powerless?"
