The pit was pitch-black and bottomless. The exposed walls were as smooth as a mirror.
In everyone's perception, this pit that had suddenly appeared was like a bottomless abyss, deep, mysterious, dangerous, and terrifying at the same time.
In front of this massive pit, the dense mass of martial artists seemed as insignificant as ants.
Silence, incomparable silence.
At that moment, it was as if time had stopped. Countless gazes from all directions were focused on the huge pit that had suddenly appeared.
Although there was no evidence, at that moment, everyone instinctively had the same thought.
This massive pit was undoubtedly the true entrance to the Origin Immortal Lord's treasury.
But unlike their previous excitement, when the entrance truly opened, no one spoke, and everyone instantly calmed down.
"Look over there!"
At this moment, one of the martial artists standing at the very front extended a finger and shouted, "Senior Martial Brother, do you want to kill me?"
In an instant, everyone looked in the direction of his finger. Not far from the mysterious giant pit, there stood a stone tablet about six to seven feet tall. Several large words had been written on the stele in cinnabar, each of them etched with a metallic hook and a silver stroke.
It was just that everyone had been attracted by the huge change, and their attention was focused on the huge crater, so they hadn't noticed it.
"The Origin Immortal Art. There is no gate to fortune or disaster, only the fated will obtain it!"
In the distance, Wang Chong's eyes flashed as he recognized the twelve words on the stele.
"The Origin Immortal Art! It really is the Origin Immortal Art! The Origin Immortal Lord's treasury must be in this pit! Let's go!"
An excited shout suddenly rang out.
If it had been in the past, everyone would have rushed forward upon hearing this. However, as soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent. Even the excited cultivator stood there motionless.
The crowd looked at each other, the atmosphere both awkward and strange.
Everyone was waiting for the other to act so that they could scout out the truth for them.
The sects were a place of mutual deception and deception, and no one here was a kind soul. No one dared to recklessly charge in before they had clearly investigated the matter.
"Hmph!"
Seeing that no one was moving, the Black Yin Ancestor coldly smiled. Then, without any warning, the Black Yin Ancestor waved his sleeve, and three or four unaffiliated martial artists at the front were immediately pushed away by the Black Yin Ancestor, flying high into the air and crashing into the pit.
Just as these three or four idle warriors appeared above the pit, in an instant, it was as if they were grabbed by an invisible force and fell straight into the pit.
"Ah!"
Screams filled the air, and in the blink of an eye, the martial artists of the martial arts world shot into the giant pit like meteors, vanishing from sight.
"Hua!"
In a flash, the people around the Black Yin Ancestor and the Five Ancestor Alliance began to retreat as if they were avoiding a snake or a scorpion.
Even more people were looking in the direction of the bottomless black hole. Their faces were pale, and their hearts were drenched in cold sweat.
"There's something strange about this pit!"
Looking at the huge crater, everyone's hearts were filled with fear.
Although the Black Yin Ancestor was vicious and cruel, he had always been a member of the evil path, so his actions were not surprising to others.
On the other hand, from the way these martial artists were falling, it was clear that there was an abnormal attractive force within the pit that was causing them to fall even faster.
Creee!
At this moment, the cry of a bird came from the sky, and a large bird unfurled its wings and flew toward the mountains behind the crowd. But a moment later, when the bird reached the top of the pit, something strange happened. In the time it takes for a spark to fly off a piece of flint, there was only a sorrowful cry, and the giant bird was instantly sucked in by a strong suction force. It suddenly fell into the pit and disappeared.
"Ah!"
Seeing this scene, everyone's expression instantly changed.
Even the Black Yin Ancestor and Jili Laozu couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Anyone at the Black Yin Ancestor's level of cultivation could use an ability similar to the Celestial Wolf's Divine Procession.
However, no matter how strong they were, it was impossible for them to soar freely in the sky like a bird. However, even a bird was instantly sucked down when it appeared above the pit, let alone them.
"It seems like getting into the Origin Immortal Treasury won't be as easy as we imagined."
Chief Wushang suddenly said.
After experiencing the Origin Immortal Formation, no one dared to underestimate the things left behind by the Origin Immortal Lord.
Although they still hadn't seen what was inside, they could already sense that the depths of the pit were fraught with danger.
"Chong-er, do you still remember those words that appeared on the Energy Condensation Pearl?"
The Demonic Emperor Old Man suddenly spoke.
"I remember!"
Wang Chong whispered, knowing what his master was asking.
When the six treasure maps had been collected, almost everyone's attention had been focused on the star map and the location of the Origin Immortal Lord's treasury, so no one had noticed those final few lines of Bird Seal Script.
Only Wang Chong knew that those lines of Bird Seal Script were far more important than he imagined.
"What's fake and what's not fake, smoke obscures the eyes of the rabbit, a thousand layers of the ocean covers a pearl!
"What's real and what's not, the abyss falls into a cave within a cave of nine layers, a palace within a palace of a thousand years!"
This was probably the abyss mentioned in the poem.
The Energy Condensation Pearl actually had a few other lines about the Origin Immortal Treasury, but with so many people around, it was inconvenient to say them.
The Evil Emperor said nothing, only nodded, a pensive look in his eyes.
The Origin Immortal Lord would never leave behind words for no reason, so there was definitely a deeper meaning behind those lines.
The crowd around the massive pit buzzed with chatter, but no one dared to recklessly enter.
However, just as everyone was still hesitating, the temperature in the air suddenly skyrocketed. Before anyone could react, a red cloud shot through the air like a bolt of lightning, disappearing along the edge of the crater in a flash.
This sudden scene greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
"It's the Four Ends Martial Lord!"
Wang Chong's eyes flashed as he recognized who it was. In the entire region, the only one who could cultivate Stellar Energy to such a level was probably the Four Ends Martial Lord.
"Hahaha, it won't be that easy to take the Origin Immortal Art for yourself!"
The Black Yin Ancestor sinisterly chuckled and swiftly attacked.
Roooar!
There was a heaven-shaking roar as the Black Yin Ancestor's body seethed with black smoke. In the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a massive black dragon that appeared before everyone's eyes. Swoosh! Before anyone could react, the Black Yin Ancestor had already shot forward, climbing into the pit in the distance.
Clatter! Clatter! Clatter! Clatter! Clatter! The Black Yin Ancestor's black dragon climbed down the smooth walls of the pit and vanished from sight.
Every item left behind by the Origin Immortal Lord was fraught with danger. For many martial artists, it was practically certain death. But for martial arts titans like the Four Ends Martial Lord and the Black Yin Ancestor, no matter how dangerous it was, it could not stop them from seizing the world's number one art.
Whoosh!
With the Four Ends Martial Lord and the Black Yin Ancestor leading the way, everyone's ambitions were roused.
"Brothers, charge!"
"The Origin Immortal Lord's treasury has been opened! Don't let the Four Ends Martial Lord and the Black Yin Ancestor take it all for themselves! Everyone, charge!"
"Nobles, nobles, generals, and generals all have guts! The world's number one will definitely be mine!"
"Bastard, don't let them get ahead of us!"
… …
In a flash, the dense and motionless army of martial artists seemed to have been roused and began to surge toward the enormous pit. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. No matter what sort of danger was in the pit, nothing could resist the allure of the Origin Immortal Art.
Moreover, if the Four Ends Martial Lord and the Black Yin Ancestor had gone down, what else did the others have to fear?
In an instant, under the gazes of countless people, the densely packed martial artists rushed to the edge of the huge pit like a tide. Moreover, each and every one of them displayed their magical powers, using both their hands and feet, relying on their vigorous martial power, they headed towards the bottom of the pit.
"Let's go!"
At the same time, Jili Laozu thrust out a palm, causing the air to churn as water vapor began to gather. In the blink of an eye, it had gathered into a massive ball of clear water that began to fluctuate in the air.
Thwish! Jili Laozu waved his hand, and the water immediately engulfed him and the martial arts experts around him. In the blink of an eye, they were already descending into the pit.
But when they reached the edge of the pit, there was a clear cry of a crane. The ball of water that had engulfed Jili Laozu and the martial arts experts suddenly transformed into a red-crowned crane with a wingspan of seven or eight feet and began to glide along the edge of the pit.
For a long time, one could still hear the cry of the water crane.
"Charge! Don't let them get ahead of us! "
The martial artists of the northwest became even more excited at this sight. In the blink of an eye, thousands of martial artists began to climb down the smooth walls of the pit.
"Hmph! Trying to steal the Origin Immortal Art from us? Truly overestimating themselves! "
There was a heaven-shaking roar as a massive white bone devil rose from the Five Ancestor Alliance's ranks. This bone devil was thirty to forty meters tall, its entire body made of bone, and black energy seethed from it. It was suffused with the stench of death.
Whoosh! A moment later, the white bone devil began to climb with astonishing speed toward the entrance to the Origin Immortal Treasury. Along the way, the Bone Devil Ancestor tossed all the martial artists in his way into the air or swept them to the side like fallen leaves.
