In the endless void, the young man disintegrated and turned into dust.
This silenced the entire place. Everyone felt cold as if they had fallen into an icy hell.
The young man was not weak – he was at the advanced stage of the eighth level. Yet he disintegrated without a sound. That was unbelievable!
What was even more terrifying was that another two people disappeared like smoke. They were all cultivators of the eighth level.
"What happened? Why did they disintegrate for no reason? "An elder asked in a trembling voice, unable to hide his fear.
Most people here were feeling uneasy as well. They didn't dare to move in fear of triggering a trap.
"If I am not wrong, they touched a treasure." Ling Xian squinted his eyes. There was shock and coldness.
Other than cultivators, there were only treasures. Therefore, after the three of them disintegrated, he carefully investigated.
He found out that they were treasures. But they were filled with an eerie power. Like a curse, anyone who touches them will die.
"Touched a treasure?"
Everyone was uncertain. Some distanced themselves from the treasures, others stayed where they were.
To everyone, Ling Xian was merely a cultivator of the beginning stage of the eighth level. He was ordinary and unremarkable.
Therefore, his words were not very convincing.
"What proof do you have?" The swordsman glared at Ling Xian.
"Nothing. If you don't believe me, you can try." Ling Xian's expression was emotionless. He was in no mood to talk to the swordsman.
Staring at the endless amount of treasures, he frowned and found it hard to hide his worry.
If touching the treasures would cause them to disintegrate, then it wouldn't be a big deal. But he was afraid that even if he didn't touch them, he would be burned.
If that was the case, then this place was far too dangerous. Even a cultivator of the ninth level would find it hard to escape death.
"Who gave you the courage to talk to me like that?" The swordsman's gaze turned cold. His sword energy swept across the area.
However, it was stopped by Sun Zhen.
At the same time, the elder in black appeared before Ling Xian. Terrifying Qi filled the air, making the swordsman frown.
"So they are protecting you." The swordsman coldly snickered. His Qi disappeared and his sword energy dissipated.
Though he was not afraid of Sun Zhen and the elder in black, they were trouble. After weighing the pros and cons, he chose to let Ling Xian go.
"Thank you." Ling Xian smiled and ignored the swordsman.
"You're too kind." Sun Zhen waved his hand and said seriously, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Try using a clone and you'll know."
Ling Xian faintly grinned. The treasures here were very strange. It was as scary as a curse, but it was definitely not a curse.
Thus, Sun Zhen would at most lose a clone, and his main body would not be harmed.
"Alright." Sun Zhen nodded lightly. His glabella glowed and formed a clone.
Then, his clone touched a treasure and immediately showed signs of dissipating.
Three breaths of time later, it even dispersed like smoke, and not a trace of it was left behind.
This caused Sun Zhen's eyes to narrow in shock.
Everyone present felt the same way.
Even though it was only a clone and didn't even have half of the original's battle prowess, Sun Zhen was a ninth level cultivator. Even if he only had 10% of his battle prowess, it was enough to sweep through eighth level cultivators.
Therefore, the eighth leveled cultivators were in awe and the ninth leveled cultivators were shaken.
"Do you believe me now?" Ling Xian softly sighed, feeling a headache coming on.
If he could turn to dust without touching the treasures, then this place was far too dangerous. Compared to places like the Saint Sunset Mountain and the Sea of Reincarnation, this place was far too dangerous.
Luckily, based on the current situation, as long as he doesn't touch the treasures, he will be fine.
"It really is because I touched the treasures …"
"I thought my luck had turned for the better. I didn't think I would be so unlucky."
"I truly am unlucky. Ignoring the fact that I came here for nothing, I don't even know if I can leave this place alive."
Everyone sighed. Other than bitterness, they were also feeling fearful.
Even the clone of a ninth leveled cultivator could only last for three breaths. Naturally, they were panicking.
"What an eerie power …"
Sun Zhen frowned and shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian, "Do you have a solution?"
"Nope."
Ling Xian sighed. The treasures contained energy that was strange and powerful. Even with his many techniques, he had no way of defending against it.
What gave him a headache was that he couldn't leave.
The suction force was still there. With his strength, there was no way he could defend against it.
"This is troublesome. Am I going to be trapped here until I die of old age?"
Sun Zhen's brows were tightly locked together. As he spoke, another scream arose. It wasn't hard to hear the fear and hopelessness in this person's voice.
Then, the screams continued to rise and fall.
Within seconds, more than 20 people had turned into dust. Not a single trace of blood was left behind.
What was even more terrifying was that everyone clearly saw that none of these people touched the treasures.
"What is going on? They didn't touch the treasures, why are they dying? "
"This is too terrifying. I need to leave this place!"
"I shouldn't have come. The tomb of the Heaven Protector is far too terrifying."
Everyone was in awe. Even the ninth leveled cultivators had a change of expression.
"What I worried about happened after all." Ling Xian's heart dropped. If he didn't touch the treasures, then he would be fine. Then he would have a chance of survival.
But if he didn't touch it, then he would die. Then there would be no hope.
Even the clone of a ninth leveled cultivator could only last for three breaths. How could he defend?
"AHHHHH …"
The screams continued. One by one, the extraordinary cultivators stepped onto the Path of Hell. Everyone's hairs stood on end and they shuddered.
As time passed, there were even more people who were trembling and crying.
The pressure was too great. No one knew if the next person to die would be them.
"This is troublesome." Ling Xian frowned. He was at his wit's end.
The treasures were strange and powerful. He couldn't defend against them and he couldn't defend against them.
"I have to attack the source. Only then can I get out of this."
Ling Xian squinted. What was the source? The Heaven Protector!
On his journey here, he only saw danger and treasures. He didn't see the Heaven Protector's coffin. If he can find it, then he can get out of this.
Immediately, the space between Ling Xian's brows began to emit light. A storm of Qi swept out in all directions.
After a few breaths, he found a very faint vibration in the space above his head. If it weren't for his sensitive senses, he wouldn't have noticed it.
"This should be an independent space. Or in other words, this is where the Heaven Protector's coffin is located."
Ling Xian mumbled to himself. Then, he raised his fist and punched towards the endless space.
The result was like a rock sinking into the ocean. There were no ripples.
"I knew it wouldn't work."
Ling Xian frowned and shifted his gaze towards Sun Zhen, "Based on the current situation, the only way to get out of this is to find the source."
Then, he pointed above his head, "There is an independent space there. I hope you can break it open."
Hearing this, Sun Zhen agreed without another word. The reason why he was able to live until now was because Ling Xian found out the weakness of that small world.
Therefore, he didn't question it.
Sun Zhen's palm slashed across the sky. The terrifying power was shocking.
At the same time, the elder in black made his move. He wanted to break open the independent space and find the Heaven Protector's coffin.
