Chapter 338: Chapter 254 Unknown Crystal Plate and Forbidden Breaking_2

“Yes, I will go now,” Zhao Sheng said with a loud voice, hands clasped in front of him.

Having said this, he immediately turned around and flew to the gate, joining the ranks working to break through the prohibition.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of immensely destructive second-order spells, true talismans, and attacks from spiritual artifacts bombarded a thin light shield simultaneously.

However, every attack on the light shield was like a stone sinking into the sea—the white light shield enveloping the exterior of the palace merely trembled lightly before falling silent again.

Zhao Sheng, horrified, noticed that his core spiritual power was being consumed at an astonishingly rapid rate.

What was even more terrifying was that the palace seemed like a black hole that devoured spiritual power, with at least half of the dispersed spiritual power being absorbed by it.

Every few hours, some foundation establishment cultivators, running low on spiritual power, had no choice but to withdraw, take medicine, and circulate their power to replenish their depleted spiritual power.

Through conversations with those nearby, Zhao Sheng learned that people had been coming here since a month ago.

Yet as the month passed, more and more people arrived, but all were stopped dead by the defensive light shield.

The people in front had tried every possible means but could not break the defense prohibition, resorting to slowly grinding away at it the hard way.

Given the palace’s bizarre nature as a spirit-draining entity, everyone was initially at a loss about how to deal with it.

However, perhaps due to the wear and tear over the years, a corner of the southwest wall of the palace had collapsed, causing a slight flaw in the thin light shield at that spot, where the light flickered unstably.

It was because of this that everyone desperately attacked it, hoping to break through this peculiar and eerie defense.

“Mr. Wei! How much longer do you estimate it will take to break through this defense?” Soul Servant Old Monster, looking at the flickering white light shield atop the palace, turned his head to ask a refined, elderly scholar in a teal and gold robe, his expression showing slight anxiety.

“Another day and night should do it. Although this magic prohibition has been damaged, it’s ten times more troublesome than I had anticipated,” the refined elder, Wei Yong’an, replied in an incredibly calm and steady voice.

This man was not only a Golden Core Ancestor from the Wei Clan of the Purple Sun Sect but was also a highly skilled array master, capable of setting up third-rank top-grade great arrays.

“We don’t have much time left. If a Nascent Soul old monster smells an opportunity and comes here, I fear we won’t even get a sip of the soup. Why don’t you, Mr. Wei, try your hand at breaking this magic prohibition?” the Soul Servant Old Monster deliberately provoked.

“Wei is not capable. If you can’t wait, why not try entering the fray yourself?” Wei Yong’an responded nonchalantly through transmitted thought.

At that moment, Iron Pan Master suddenly transmitted his Divine Sense: “What if the three of us strike together? The young ones are too incompetent.”

“Hmm, Wei has no objections, Soul Servant, what do you think?” Wei Yong’an nodded and counter-asked the Old Monster Soul Servant.

“Let’s do it! I’ve been waiting impatiently for too long.”

Before the words had faded, the One-Horned Ghost King behind Soul Servant Old Monster suddenly surged several times larger, transforming into a huge creature about eighty or ninety zhang tall.

The Ghost King, now corporeal, took a step covering dozens of zhang; its lone horn suddenly shot out a thick stream of blue-black ghost fire, striking fiercely at a weak spot on the white light shield.

Boom!

The sky filled with blue-black ghost fire exploded, causing the light shield to suddenly darken.

Sizzle!

The blue-black ghost fire, unknown for its deadly corrosive power, clung to and started corroding and burning along the surface of the light shield.

Seeing the Soul Servant Old Monster making a move, the other two Golden Cores glanced at each other and immediately demonstrated their divine skills, striking at the light shield.

With the powerhouse support of three Golden Core fighters, the progress of the group significantly sped up,

In just two days, under the united (yet individually motivated) assault of the group, the white light shield gradually began to quake as if on the verge of collapse.

During this period, five more foundation establishment cultivators arrived, and a Golden Core master was also drawn to the scene.

An hour later, just as Zhao Sheng retreated to a corner of the square to recover his spiritual power for the ninth time, he suddenly heard a continuous, excited shout from the crowd: “It’s broken! It’s broken!”

Hearing this, Zhao Sheng abruptly opened his eyes, only to see the light shield that had been engulfing the palace slowly fading into the air.

“It’s finally broken!”

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng immediately rose to his full height and, along with others, rushed to the bronze gates of the palace.

The bronze gates of the palace, about ten zhang high and three zhang wide, were engraved with countless peculiar symbols.

An oppressive, murderous aura rushed from the entrance, almost suffocating those who approached.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the bronze doors of the palace were not closed but slightly ajar, just wide enough for a person to fit through. The gap revealed only a pitch-black interior where nothing could be seen.

The doors of the palace were left half-open, making it incredibly easy for these cultivators to rush inside.

But it was too easy, always making one wonder if it was some kind of trap. And the first to enter would easily become targets for others.

More importantly, once inside, a fierce battle for the palace’s treasures was inevitable.

Thus, everyone looked at each other, and none dared to make a rash move.

All eyes turned to the four Golden Core Masters.

At that moment, the Soul Servant Old Monster deliberately gestured with his eyes, and suddenly, a tall, sinister-looking middle-aged man from the strongest faction of the Demon Path stepped forward.

He spoke loudly, “Let’s all listen to one word from me, to avoid unnecessary casualties, I, Gu Jiuyao, propose that we fully open these bronze doors first, then we can all enter together. How does that sound?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Soul Servant Old Monster seized the opportunity and said, “I think it’s a good idea.”

“But… how will we divide the treasures inside?”

No sooner had these words fell than a Loose Cultivator mustered the courage to ask.

“How to divide? It naturally comes down to skills!” Gu Jiuyao immediately responded playfully after hearing this.

Thereupon the newly arrived Golden Core Master spoke decisively, “I agree with that young friend’s suggestion just now. Moreover, I would like to remind you all that this ancient hall seems a bit mysterious, faintly exuding a strong murderous aura. So, it would be wise for all to be cautious and not start fighting before we even enter.”

“Taoist Jiang, your words are fair. I agree!” Iron Pan Master nodded.

The newly arrived Golden Core Master, named Jiang Tianlu, was the Supreme Sect Leader of a second-tier cultivation sect near Pocket World City.

This man had a deep friendship with Iron Pan Master.

“That sounds good!”

Last of all, Wei Yong’an also agreed.

The other Foundation Establishment Cultivators just had to obey, without even a chance to voice any objection.

“Click!”

The bronze doors of the hall were slowly pushed open by the crowd.

In that instant, a powerful, sinister aura and a strong scent of blood crazily burst forth from the hall, forming a vast dark red cloud that enveloped everyone and spread across half of the square.

This sinister cloud was filled with an eerie oppression and murderous intent, almost suffocating them.

The weakest among the Foundation Establishment Cultivators were trembling, unable to stand steadily, and only barely managed to remain upright by leaning on some objects.

“What exactly is hidden inside this palace, that there is such a strong presence of sinister and bloody aura?” Jiang Tianlu couldn’t help but change his expression upon seeing this.

The others also stepped back in shock, each feeling a deep fear of the palace, hesitating to move forward.

“Making a fuss over nothing! This palace must have been built by a person of great ability. The thoughts of such an extraordinary individual are not something we can guess. As for what’s inside, you’ll see once you enter,” Soul Servant Old Monster chided the crowd and without saying more, turned into a wisp of ghostly shadow and rushed into the palace first.

The other three Golden Core Masters unwilling to be outdone, also rapidly flew inside.

Seeing this, the rest of the crowd immediately surged forward, scrambling to get through the door.

Zhao Sheng mixed within the crowd, stepped past the bronze doors, and looked up to see a vast palace interior. The walls around were hung with rows of fist-sized Five-Colored Spirit Beads emitting purple, red, and white lights among others, illuminating the entire palace resplendently.

“Ah! What is this… so many treasure beads!”

“No, these are top-grade Spirit Stones!”

“Hey, that’s… that’s a relic of a Great Ability!”

Upon entering the hall, everyone could not help but cry out in shock and amazement.
