The blood-curdling screams were like swords that pierced into the hearts of the crowd.
Even the dozens of peerless experts who were far ahead could not help but look back.
They saw a figure falling rapidly. The blood-curdling screams were constantly coming from that figure, and they were getting weaker and weaker.
After a few breaths, that figure fell into the endless darkness of the abyss and disappeared. It was as if he had been swallowed by the darkness. Only the blood-curdling screams were still lingering in the ears of the crowd.
The first one. This was the first person to fall.
One had to pay a price in order to gain something. That was the truth. Therefore, if one wanted to obtain the right to enter the Heavenly Ancient Sacred Hall, one had to be prepared to pay the price of one's life. However, everything went smoothly from the beginning, and there were no problems. It was inevitable that some people would let their guard down, thinking that the difficulty was to cross the hundred thousand meters in the time it took for a joss stick to burn.
Since one could not fly, they had to jump and move forward. They also had to pay attention to the movement of the discs. Naturally, they had to spend more time and energy. Whether they could cross the distance in the time it took for a joss stick to burn was a difficult question.
The first death had occurred. At the very least, everyone knew that if a mid-level Martial Saint fell into the forbidden land of the void, death was the only outcome. Moreover, they would not die immediately, but gradually die in the void of darkness. That kind of death was terrifying.
However, the crowd were all strong-willed people. After being stunned for a moment, they quickly recovered. What they were more concerned about was why that person had fallen.
Just as they were pondering, a second scream was heard. This time, the crowd discovered it earlier. They saw the discs under that person's feet shatter into pieces.
Then, a third scream was heard.
The fourth … the fifth …
More than ten discs shattered in succession. The people on them were unable to fly in the air. Without any support, they could only fall downwards. Among them, a few of the more outstanding ones reacted quickly and quickly adjusted their balance. They wanted to use their movement techniques to ascend and leap towards the other discs. However, they were helplessly falling too quickly. Although their reactions were fast, they were still a bit too slow. They could only helplessly fall.
"What is going on?" Not knowing the situation made people feel uneasy.
Suddenly, Chu Mu felt that the discs under his feet seemed to be unstable. He quickly jumped up. The moment he jumped, the discs under his feet shattered into pieces.
Just a little bit, just a little bit. If he had been a little bit slower, he would have lost the opportunity to borrow the force. At that time, without any preparation, it was very likely that he would fall into the dark void like the previous dozen people.
Although Chu Mu was startled as he leaped into the air, he did not lose his composure. He executed his Movement Technique and took several steps in the air. Amid the sound of wind and thunder, he quickly headed for a moving disk in front of him and landed.
Chu Mu was not the only one who encountered this. Dozens of other people also encountered the same situation. Some of them reacted quickly and used their movement techniques to move forward or to the side. However, some of them did not react in time and fell.
From this point alone, one could see the difference between different Saint-level experts.
This was the difference between their survivability.
Powerful people might not necessarily have a strong ability to survive.
After this sudden change, everyone realized that the disc under their feet was not stable. It was possible that it would shatter. As for which disc would shatter, it would depend entirely on one's luck.
All of a sudden, everyone paid more attention to the disc under their feet. Once there was any abnormal movement, they would immediately leap up. This made everyone nervous.
A peerless expert was indeed a peerless expert. Even if the disc under his feet was shattered, he could still quickly adjust himself and use all kinds of methods to land on other discs.
Due to the instability of the disc, the difference between the four lines of battle was further widened. Especially the dozen exceptional experts in the first line of battle, they were more than a thousand meters ahead of the second line of battle.
"According to the Holy Spirit, there might be other changes. Everyone be careful." Chu Mu transmitted his voice to Gu Luankong and the other two.
They were all in the fourth line of battle and their speed was not that fast. However, if they maintained their current speed, they could definitely cross the chasm and reach the Heavenly Ancient Sacred Hall in thirty minutes.
The premise was that there were no other changes.
After a third of the time, the first line of battle had already reached a distance of forty-five thousand meters. The fourth line of battle was at the back, less than forty thousand meters.
What was reassuring was that other than the unstable disc shattering, there were no other accidents. As for the instability of the disc, after many times, some of them had found some patterns. The first condition for the disc to shatter was to stand on it for more than ten breaths of time.
The second rule was harder to grasp. Before the disc shattered, there would be a slight vibration. If one was careful, one could usually escape before the disc completely shattered.
No one dared to let down their guard. All of them were fully focused and their mental strength was constantly depleted.
At seventy thousand meters, the dozen exceptional experts in the first line of battle suddenly changed their previous fast speed. They stopped and stared ahead.
The disc that was originally flowing at a uniform speed suddenly changed. The speed of the disc became fast and slow. Some of it was very slow, drifting past slowly. Some of it was very fast, catching up from behind and passing by quickly.
The eyes of the exceptional experts shone brightly. They were constantly calculating and thinking about the best way forward.
The second line of battle continued to catch up. The distance between them was getting shorter and shorter.
Their luck wasn't bad. The disc didn't shatter. After a few dozen breaths of time, when the second line of battle was closing in, the exceptional experts moved once more.
With a step, they would either turn into a bolt of lightning or a gust of wind. Sometimes, they would flash and appear on the discs in front of them. Then, they would stop again and continue to think.
The discs in front of them were moving at different speeds. Furthermore, there didn't seem to be any pattern. They had to constantly calculate before daring to land. Otherwise, if they made a mistake, the consequences would be severe.
The incense stick continued to burn. When it was almost halfway done, the second line of defense had also reached 70,000 meters. There were only 30,000 meters left. The peerless experts from the first line of defense had taken the lead, so they knew that there was definitely a change here. Therefore, they all stopped and observed. In front of them, the speed of the disc was different, and it seemed to be somewhat chaotic. It interfered with their thoughts and judgment.
Ten breaths passed, and more than ten discs shattered. At the moment they shattered, these people could feel it. Left with no choice, they could only leap forward and choose a random disc as their foothold.
These dozen or so people were obviously not very lucky. Some of the discs that they landed on suddenly shattered after a breath's time, while others suddenly sped up after a pause. This sudden change shocked them greatly, and they quickly reacted by jumping up.
Three of them didn't land on anything. They could only stay in the air for a few breaths of time before falling down. They naturally fell into the void of darkness. Whether they lived or died was up to fate.
Five others landed on the discs that were moving at high speed. They were too fast and couldn't judge where they would land. They could only be carried further and further away by the discs.
As for the others, their luck was better. The speed of the disc they landed on did not change much. However, their previous judgment was disrupted. Facing the disc that was moving irregularly in front of them, they had to reconsider and make a new judgment.
Not long after, the third line of battle also arrived.
After that, the fourth line of battle also arrived.
When the fourth line of battle arrived, they were surprised to find that the discs weren't shattering anymore.
The second line of battle, the third line of battle and the fourth line of battle were all mixed together. Everyone was thinking, trying to determine how best to advance.
The first line of battle had already advanced a few hundred meters. Every time they advanced, they would pause for a few breaths of time. At most, they would pause for ten breaths of time. They weren't as calm as before. Even so, they were still ahead of the others.
Half of the second line of battle had already advanced. However, their speed was even slower.
"It's so chaotic." Lian Hongyun frowned and stared at the discs in front of her.
"There's no pattern." Yang Zhantian frowned as well.
Gu Luankong and Chu Mu didn't say anything. They were just staring at the discs. Their minds were spinning rapidly as they tried to find a pattern.
The leader of the Ancient God Sword Alliance, Yang Fan, had been in the second line of battle. Now, he was also in the second line of battle. He was standing on a discs a few dozen meters away. He was moving along with the discs as he stared at the discs in front of him, looking for the next landing point.
Among the members of the Ancient God Sword Alliance, Yang Fan was in the lead. Following him was Xing Liang.
It had to be said that they were really capable.
"After this period, you will reach the Heavenly Ancient Sacred Hall. If you are not confident, you can stay where you are until an incense stick burns out. There will be no more danger." The Sacred Spirit's vigorous voice sounded once again.
Some people were unwilling. However, so what? If they weren't confident, they would be courting death.
Without danger, the discs stopped moving. This gave everyone enough time to think. However, time was limited. They only had the time for an incense to burn. No, there was only half an incense left.
In the previous half an incense, they had crossed 70,000 meters. In the remaining half an incense, they had to cross 30,000 meters. The difficulty of this 30,000 meters was much higher than the 70,000 meters before.
At least half of them would be stopped here.
However, there were still people who didn't give up and wanted to try.
Suddenly, the discs accelerated and moved at an extremely fast speed. They brought the people on them and flew far away. The scene in front of them was so fast that it was impossible to capture it.
In the blink of an eye, they were brought away. In the eyes of the crowd, they became small black dots. They disappeared again. Where would they go? Would they fall into the Forbidden Land of the Void? Perhaps only they and the Holy Spirit of the Heavenly Ancient Sacred Hall knew.
