Chapter 160 - The Power of the Black Fog, The Secret Realm Can’t Be Opened!
“Everyone, look! Isn’t that the gateway to the secret realm that we used to enter? Great, we’re saved.”
Many sects were overjoyed, but Ye Xuan’s words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing their newly ignited hope.
He asked, “Do you think you have the ability to enter this door?”
Black fog filled the entire secret realm, and so did the surroundings of the door. The surroundings were like an unfathomable black hole that could devour everything. If one were to approach it easily, they would probably be swallowed immediately.
The bright hope was right in front of them, but it was on the same level as the abyss. Life and death were a matter of seconds. The smiles on everyone’s faces gradually disappeared, and they didn’t dare to act rashly.
The black fog seemed to have noticed the existence of the door and quickly wrapped it around. Under the black fog’s influence, the originally unstable space became even more unstable, and even the shadow of the door became faint.
If this continued, they probably wouldn’t be able to hold on for long and would dissipate soon, which meant that they would be trapped here again.
“Rather than sitting here and waiting for death, it’s better to fight with all our might,” he said.
There were always people who did not believe in this. A spiritual light appeared in the palm of the disciples of the Floating Cloud Palace. A huge Dragon Boat appeared in the air, which could accommodate dozens of people. All the Floating Cloud Palace’s disciples jumped onto it.
“You guys are willing to wait for death here, but I’m not. Is there anyone else who is willing to come with me?”
“This spiritual boat was forged by a master blacksmith and is infused with five-colored stones. It has a strong defense and I believe it can hold out for a while, giving us a chance to reach the gateway.”
As soon as he said that, many people from the sects wavered. They looked at each other and many people boarded the spiritual boat.
However, the people from the six great sects did not move. It was clear that they were still observing. There were also some people who chose to stay.
If this black Qi was so easy to deal with, it wouldn’t have caused all the disciples of the Misty Illusory Manor to be annihilated.
The Dragon Boat was lifelike as if it was a long dragon, and its speed was amazing. This speed was at least sky rank and above.
“I didn’t expect them to have such a flying magic weapon.”
Seeing that the Dragon Boat was trying to break through the encirclement, the black Qi quickly swarmed up. A powerful array glowed, and a complicated pattern lit up on the body of the boat.
The flames that shot up into the sky were like meteors, burning most of the sky red, but a lot of the black fog gradually dissipated.
“With such speed and defense, we might be able to get close to the gateway of the secret realm.”
Many people were amazed. As long as they passed through this door, they would be able to get out. Those who had not boarded the Dragon Boat before were now regretting it. If they had known earlier, they might have been able to escape with their lives.
The Dragon Boat was like a hot knife through butter. Soon, they opened a path and came to the side of the gate. The exit was close at hand, and the people on the Dragon Boat could not help but look happy.
However, in the next second…
The black fog gathered together as if it had a life of its own. It expanded continuously, and a huge black mouth opened silently. It was unknown what kind of creature it was, but its body covered the entire sky, and it was filled with an evil aura.
The pupils of the people on the ground suddenly shrank. They wanted to warn those on the boat, but it was too late.
“Boom!”
With a loud noise, the Dragon Boat was swallowed whole.
The remaining people were dumbfounded, and the atmosphere fell into a dead silence.
Countless pieces of debris fell from the sky. They were the remains of the Dragon Boat. The people who were on the boat earlier had been completely annihilated, and it was unknown if they were dead or alive. Even if they were alive, they would probably not be in a good state.
Ye Xuan sighed softly, not surprised by this result.
It must be known that the mastermind had been planning this for thousands of years. If he was so easily dealt with, wouldn’t he be slapping himself in the face? Moreover, the gateway to the secret realm was not stable, which meant that the people outside had also encountered obstacles.
However, in that situation, even if he had said it, that group of people would probably not have believed him.
“How could this be…”
The remaining people looked at the tragic scene in front of them and felt as if their throats were being strangled. They were unable to speak for a long time.
“Look, the door is disappearing.”
As expected, after the commotion just now, the door was completely destroyed by the black fog and disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Outside the secret realm.
Looking at the door that appeared, the rest of the people revealed happy expressions.
“It shouldn’t be long before they should be able to come out.”
However, the grand elders’ expressions changed slightly. An extremely cold force followed their spiritual powers and attacked from the other side of the door.
At this moment, there seemed to be some movement on the other side of the door.
“Are they coming out?”
The grand elders sensed that something was wrong and was about to warn them, but it was too late.
The massive black fog came with an aggressive momentum, pouring down like a flood from the gate. Everyone was caught by the black fog, and the disciples with lower cultivation died on the spot.
Even the grand elders’ situation was not good. As the black Qi entered their bodies, their spiritual power became sluggish. They all had golden bodies to protect themselves and were not easily affected, but the black fog’s effect could not be ignored.
“What the h*ll is this? I’ve never seen it before.”
Everyone was in a state of chaos as they dealt with the sudden black fog. After they finally cleared these ghostly things, the door had long disappeared.
Mo Jianming had no choice but to start all over again. He suddenly had a bad feeling.
The grand elders joined forces again, trying to open the secret realm. After a while, there was no movement. No matter how much spiritual power they poured in, it was useless. Their faces all turned pale.
“Oh no, the secret realm can’t be opened!”
