The hazy sky was gloomy even though it was daytime. It was filled with an oppressive aura.
One day, two days, three days, four days … seven days!
As time passed, countless experts began to pour into this area, and the oppressive aura became heavier and heavier. The sky was covered with thick dark clouds, and no sunlight could be seen. Everyone felt as if there was a mountain pressing down on their hearts. Although their bodies did not feel any discomfort, they still felt a sense of suffocation.
…
Rumble …
In a secluded cave, Chen Hao, who was in the middle of cultivation, suddenly exited from his cultivation state as his body shone with a resplendent brown light. A few days ago, Chen Hao found this cave and started cultivating when he couldn't find any Spirit Herbs or Demonic Beasts. After all, there were still a few days before the aura of the relic appeared. He didn't want to waste his time in this meaningless search. He had already reached the peak of the Fourth Stage Emperor Realm. Although he wanted to stabilize his realm through fighting, he couldn't find any Demonic Beasts. Now, he didn't have to deliberately stimulate the barrier. He naturally stepped into the Fifth Stage Emperor Realm. Both his Intent and Martial Arts had advanced.
But now, he was forced to stop cultivating.
A huge rumbling sound seemed to come from the depths of the earth. It made the whole earth tremble. Creaking sounds came from the cave. Gravel rolled and dust billowed. It seemed that the cave was about to collapse.
At the same time, the entrance of the cave lit up. The hazy sky shone with a bright light.
Whoosh!
"What's going on?"
Chen Hao rushed out of the cave as fast as lightning. He raised his head and looked at the light pillar in the distance. His eyes shone with extreme shock.
"What a rich Spirit Qi! Why are you still in a daze? Let's go and have a look! " At this moment, a violent fluctuation came from Chen Hao's mind. The voice of the Treasure Hunting Sword's spirit also appeared in Chen Hao's mind.
Bang!
Chen Hao stomped his feet. Like a roc spreading its wings, he turned into a streamer and flew toward the dissipating light pillar.
"Is this the aura of the relic? It's completely different from what the mission book said! Since I stepped into this area, everything seems strange … "Chen Hao said in his mind as he moved forward quickly.
"It's the aura of the relic! The aura of this relic should have appeared for many years, but it had never been discovered. The strange situation this time might be a good thing for you people! Be careful, there are many auras that are stronger than yours! I can sense that the spatial fluctuations in this area are extremely intense … "said the Treasure Hunting Sword's spirit.
"Intense spatial fluctuations? What do you mean? "
"It's the collision between the space of the relic and the space we're in. If I'm not wrong, this relic has existed for a very, very long time. However, no one with great luck has ever obtained it. It's on the verge of collapse …"
"Collapse? Are you saying that the ruins are going to disappear? "
"Yes. There were many relics in the world, and most of them were inheritances left behind by super experts. Moreover, these ruins were supported by powerful restrictions and formations. For example, the Xuanhuang Ancient City Ruins wanted to inherit the Five Elements Spiritual Roots! After you obtain the Heartless Spiritual Root, the Mysterious Yellow Treasure Vault can be opened. After you obtain the Mysterious Yellow Ring and the Five Elemental Spirit Swords that support the restriction, the Mysterious Yellow Relic will collapse. Of course, even if no one obtains the Five Elemental Spirit Root, the Mysterious Yellow Relic will still collapse as time passes. Now, the situation of the ruins may be on the verge of collapse. That's why such a change has occurred … "
"Rumble …"
An even more terrifying sound was heard. The earth trembled, the mountains shook, and countless huge rocks rolled down. The speed at which the light beam dissipated seemed to have accelerated.
A strong ancient aura and majestic Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth instantly enveloped an area of a hundred miles.
"The entrance to the ruins may be opening! Quick, don't hold back any more strength. Let's go and have a look! "said the Treasure Hunting Sword's spirit suddenly.
Chen Hao was shocked in his heart. He immediately put on the black bamboo hat. Then, he stimulated the primary power and spiritual power in his entire body. The two kinds of energy fused together. Chen Hao was pleasantly surprised. He had just stepped into the fifth grade Martial Emperor Realm. However, he felt as if he had escaped from the gravity at this moment. His entire body flew high into the sky, and turned into a streamer of light!
The brown Spiritual Qi had turned into a light blue light that symbolized a Martial Emperor!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
While Chen Hao was frantically rushing over, the genius disciples who had been waiting in the core area also stared at the gradually dissipating light beam in shock and approached it at the fastest speed.
Among them, more than ten figures were flying in the air. Obviously, they had stepped into the Martial Emperor Stage or the seventh stage Emperor Stage. Otherwise, no matter how fast they were, they couldn't completely fly in the air!
Among these figures, there was Fang Qing and the eighth stage Emperor Stage in her team, as well as the number one expert among the new disciples of the Royal New Show Hall, Zhao Yunfei!
In addition to the three of them, the other figures flying in the air were not disciples of the Royal New Show Hall. Obviously, they were genius disciples from the other three kingdoms.
…
"Chen Hao?"
When Fang Qing saw Chen Hao, she suddenly cried out in surprise.
Chen Hao smiled and walked slowly to Fang Qing's side. When he was a few miles away from the light beam, he quietly landed. He took off his black clothes and bamboo hat and changed into the Royal New Show Hall's attire.
Chen Hao was very clear that the mission to find the entrance to the ruins this time had completely deviated from the original track, causing everyone to gather here. Fierce conflicts were inevitable. In the past, when doing this mission, the disciples of the four kingdoms had been in constant conflict. However, these were all small group conflicts. But now, everyone was gathered here. Once a conflict broke out, it would be a competition between the disciples of the Four Great Kingdoms' Royal Family's New Excellence Hall. If they were not united, they would definitely suffer.
Chen Hao couldn't appear with his bamboo hat. If he did, he would probably be attacked by all the disciples of the four kingdoms. Because this mission could only be done by the disciples of the Royal New Show Hall of the four kingdoms.
And now, the situation was exactly as Chen Hao had imagined. The dozen or so experts that had arrived first were clearly divided into four groups. They surrounded the dissipating light beam and looked at the other groups with hostility.
Of the four groups, the Zhenyuan Kingdom only had three people: Fang Qing, her group of youngsters and Zhao Yunfei. As for the other three kingdoms, two had four people and one had five people. Fortunately, Zhao Yunfei, who had become a rank one Martial Emperor half a year ago, was clearly much more powerful.
"Didn't you say that you weren't coming?" Fang Qing asked in a low voice.
"Senior sister, I said that I would consider it … Later on, I couldn't find a suitable mission. So, I chased after you. But, your speed was too fast. I didn't manage to catch up … "Chen Hao said," What's going on? "
"I'm afraid that the spirit formation protecting this remnant is on the verge of collapse. To us, this is an opportunity. Perhaps when this light beam disappears, the remnant will open. Junior brother, come with us later. This is Liu Yunfeng, a rank eight Intent Emperor. He is your true senior brother. You should know this person … "After Fang Qing finished introducing Liu Yunfeng, she pointed to Zhao Yunfei and said.
Zhao Yunfei glanced at Chen Hao arrogantly. He had an overbearing attitude.
"I don't know him." Chen Hao originally wanted to say that he knew him. However, when he saw Zhao Yunfei's appearance, he shook his head disdainfully.
Zhao Yunfei frowned slightly.
"Are you serious?" Fang Qing was slightly astonished. She said, "His name is Zhao Yunfei, the number one expert of your batch. This time, it might be very dangerous. We must stick together … "
"Fang Qing, is he useful? He has only become a Martial Emperor not long ago. Yet, he is hindering us. Once the remnant's entrance opens, it will only last for a short moment. I don't want to bring a burden with me … "
"This … although Chen Hao's cultivation is low, he has the strength to defeat a rank six Martial Monarch …"
"Rank six Martial Monarch? I can instantly kill him with just ten percent of my strength. You think that's useful? Look at his strength! If we go, we will only be throwing away our lives. I don't want to be distracted by protecting him! "
Fang Qing frowned slightly. Just as she was about to say something, she was suddenly interrupted by a strange fluctuation.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss …"
The pillar of light that was getting dimmer and dimmer suddenly flickered with a wave-like fluctuation. It seemed to have condensed into a transparent water ball with a diameter of several zhang.
"It's opening. Quick! Go in! "
Fang Qing's eyes narrowed as she hurriedly said. While Fang Qing was speaking, several figures had already rushed toward the water ball as fast as lightning. Fang Qing and Liu Yunfeng also followed one after another.
"Quick!"
The Treasure Hunting Sword's spirit anxiously urged in his mind. Obviously, the Treasure Hunting Sword's spirit had already sensed that the passage would only last for a short moment. However, the cold-looking Chen Hao still did not move.
"F * ck your mother!"
Chen Hao cursed angrily. He suddenly stomped his feet and rushed into the water ball. There was nothing he could do. Chen Hao felt very stifled. In this world, everything was decided by strength. How could he, who was proud and arrogant, endure Zhao Yunfei's arrogant words?
Hiss …
After more than a dozen figures, Chen Hao was the last one to enter the water ball. A strange fluctuation instantly enveloped his body. What surprised Chen Hao and everyone else was that this water ball did not seem to be a teleportation portal, but an extremely powerful restriction. Everyone, including Chen Hao, was bound by a power that was completely beyond their understanding the moment they entered.
Everyone's eyes widened in horror as they tumbled inside without any resistance.
…
Whoosh!
Just after Chen Hao entered, a graceful figure flew in the air. It was impossible to see her appearance clearly. She was as fast as lightning and silently rushed into the water ball.
If Chen Hao and the others were still outside, they would definitely be able to sense that the aura of that graceful figure far surpassed all of them. However, at that moment, they did not notice that figure entering the water ball.
That power that was completely beyond their understanding turned into invisible tendrils that seeped into their bodies through their pores. Even their minds could not escape or resist it. Everyone, including the graceful figure that entered last, sank into extreme pain. It was as if needles were stabbing into their souls, invading every inch of their bodies and every cell …

The first day's subscription was seven hundred. Proud Heaven only had two hundred more. The first day's subscription was nine hundred. Proud Heaven only had two hundred more. The first day's subscription was nine hundred … My heart was bitterly disappointed. Since I stayed up all night, I was groggy and only wrote two chapters. I slept to adjust my state of mind. I hope that my friends who read Proud Heaven will not be stingy with their subscriptions. That is the guarantee of Dark Mountain's livelihood, and also the source of my passion for writing!
