243: Secret Realm Open

a trace of warmth rose in his heart, and the gloom brought by Luo Tianying was also largely dispersed.

He smiled broadly and patted Xiao Huohuo on the shoulder, saying:

"Huohuo is right, we take things as they come and face challenges as they arise. On the surface, we truly do not fear anyone."

His tone changed as he lowered his voice, carrying a trace of chillness,

"However, do not forget that in the Burial God Abyss, there are not only people and Yao Beasts from our Yin Yang Sect."

"The Moyang Sect... Xiao Chen's forces are our true major enemy."

Mentioning the Moyang Sect made everyone's expressions grow a bit more solemn.

Although the two sects were on amiable terms on the surface, they competed endlessly behind the scenes.

In a lawless place like the Secret Realm, encountering each other would surely result in a life-or-death battle.

Half a day passed rapidly amidst the bizarre spectacle of Void Realm traveling and everyone's adjustments and preparations.

"Hum—!"

The bronze thunder boat shook violently, the runes on the hull flashed with brilliant light, and its speed suddenly slowed down.

At the end of the violent lightning passage ahead, a vast and desolate scene gradually became clear.

"We have arrived!" someone murmured in a low voice.

The thunder boat completely broke free from the spatial passage, hovering above a huge canyon that looked as if it had been cleaved open by a giant axe.

On both sides of the canyon were ten-thousand-foot-tall, barren black cliffs, exuding an ancient and heavy aura of deathly stillness.

Deep within the canyon, grayish mist lingered, faintly revealing the huge,

skeletons of unknown creatures, and a heart-palpitating aura of ferocity rushed toward them.

This was the entrance to the God Burial Abyss Secret Realm—Soul-Severing Canyon! Located in the northern part of the Ba Xia Dynasty.

On an open space at the entrance of the canyon, dozens of figures had already gathered.

They were dressed in uniform dark black martial attire,

with a burning black scorching sun emblem embroidered on their chests—they were precisely Moyang Sect Disciples!

The person at the lead was tall and thin, with a gloomy expression, a hooked nose, thin lips, and eyes as sharp as knives,

his entire body radiating a terrifying pressure no weaker than Lei Zhenzi's, and he was precisely the head of the Moyang Sect's Law Enforcement Hall—Liang Wufeng!

"Hahaha, Old Lei, your Yin Yang Sect's movements are truly slower than a turtle crawling!"

Seeing the hovering bronze thunder boat, Liang Wufeng let out a harsh, strange laugh,

his voice sounding like a night owl, carrying undisguised mockery.

Lei Zhenzi stood at the bow of the ship, his beard and hair standing on end,

thunderous light faintly flashing around his body. He let out a cold snort, his voice exploding like thunder:

"Hmph! Old Ghost Liang, stop talking nonsense here!"

"Your Moyang Sect is merely a hair's breadth away from this Soul-Severing Canyon,

while my Yin Yang Sect crossed tens of thousands of miles to come here. Arriving at the same time is already our limit speed!

Stop talking nonsense and open the Secret Realm!"

"What's the rush?"

Liang Wufeng smiled sinisterly, his gaze sweeping across the Yin Yang Sect crowd on the thunder boat's deck like a venomous snake,

lingering on Yao Delong for a split second, a trace of imperceptible coldness flashing in his eyes.

He leisurely took out a palm-sized, pitch-black, irregularly shaped jade disc fragment from his bosom.

Lei Zhenzi did not waste words either, likewise taking out a glowing white jade disc fragment whose shape complemented it.

As soon as the two fragments appeared, they seemed to be pulled by an invisible force,

trembling slightly and emitting ancient and profound fluctuations.

"Combine!"

Lei Zhenzi and Liang Wufeng shouted in a low voice simultaneously, tossing the jade disc fragments in their hands outward!

"Hum!"

The two fragments precisely fitted together in mid-air, seamlessly joining!

In an instant, black and white light burst forth, and an indescribable, vast aura seemingly coming from the ancient primeval era erupted with a roar!

The complete jade disc hovered in the air, slowly rotating, emitting soft yet powerful spatial fluctuations.

Lei Zhenzi and Liang Wufeng exchanged a glance and struck at the same time!

Two majestic, vast forces of heaven and earth with distinct attributes yet equally terrifying,

like two roaring dragons, fiercely poured into that complete jade disc!

"Rumble—!!!"

The jade disc erupted with blinding light, and a thick beam of light shot straight into the grayish mist deep within the canyon!

The mist churned violently, like boiling water!

Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, the mist was forcibly torn apart and dispersed by the beam of light,

revealing a mirror-smooth, hundred-foot-tall black stone wall deep within the canyon!

At this moment, in the center of the stone wall, a huge, slowly rotating,

vortex-like spatial gateway was exuding a dim and profound light!

Behind the gateway, a more desolate, dead, and terrifying world filled with giant skeletons and broken weapons was faintly visible!

The God Burial Abyss Secret Realm entrance was officially opened!

"Go in!" Liang Wufeng gave a cold shout to the Moyang Sect Disciples.

The Moyang Sect Disciples had obviously received instructions long ago and did not hesitate in the slightest.

Dozens of figures turned into black streams of light,

shooting into that dim spatial gateway and instantly disappearing.

Seeing this, Lei Zhenzi waved his large hand, and dozens of streams of light flew out from his sleeves,

precisely landing into the hands of every Yin Yang Sect Disciple and Elder.

"This is the 'space fixing talisman' specially made by the Talisman Peak Master!" Lei Zhenzi's voice was like a grand bell,

"The Secret Realm's spatial rules are special. After entering, people will be randomly teleported and scattered.

Crushing this talisman can prevent you from being scattered by the spatial power within a certain range for a short time after entering!

Remember, the talisman's power can only last for ten breaths! Within ten breaths, you must approach your teammates!"

Hearing this, everyone's hearts settled greatly, and they all tightly grasped the jade talismans in their hands.

This space fixing talisman was undoubtedly the key to preserving their lives and gathering together!

"Yin Yang Sect Disciples, listen to my command! Enter the Secret Realm!" Lei Zhenzi gave the order.

"Let's go!"

"The Opportunity is right before our eyes!"

Dozens of figures, including Yao Delong's team,

immediately turned into streams of various colors of light, shooting rapidly toward that dim vortex gateway!

Yao Delong took the space fixing talisman; it felt warm to the touch and contained a power that stabilized space.

His gaze swept across the crowd entering from the Moyang Sect, and his pupils suddenly constricted!

He saw several familiar figures!

That daughter of the Biqiu City Lord, Han Ruyi! She was still in a moon-white martial attire,

covered with a light pink gauze robe. Her posture was as upright as a green pine, and her temperament was as cold and aloof as an orchid in a vacant valley,

yet she still carried an unquestionable capability and heroic spirit.

Her pitch-black long hair was tied into a neat ponytail, revealing a smooth forehead and a pair of bright, sharp,

and seemingly heart-piercing eyes. She stood at the front of the Moyang Sect's team, and her aura was unexpectedly at the Late Golden Core Stage!

The Young Master of the White Cloud Merchant Guild, Yun Ruoning!

She wore a plain and elegant green shirt, with a slender figure and a warm, tranquil temperament, like a piece of the purest floating cloud in the sky.

Her appearance was peerlessly beautiful, carrying a reassuring gentleness.

Her cultivation was even more unfathomable, having unexpectedly reached the Nascent Soul Stage, with pure Nascent Soul power faintly circulating around her body.

Li Chen, who had fought together with him in the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range!

His features were handsome, but his gaze was as sharp as a falcon's, carrying a wild aura.

At this moment, his aura was restrained, but Yao Delong acutely sensed that this person's strength was probably even stronger than Yun Ruoning's!

Furthermore, when Li Chen's gaze swept across the Yin Yang Sect's team, especially when it swept over Yao Delong,

deep within his eyes, an extremely obscure light carrying scrutiny and a trace of inexplicable meaning seemed to flash by!

Han Ruyi and Li Chen clearly did not recognize Yao Delong, who had changed his appearance and whose aura was drastically different due to his soaring cultivation.

As for Yun Ruoning, although she had met Yao Delong a few times in White Cloud City,

back then Yao Delong had just reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. Now that he had made a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage, his temperament, figure,

and even his Cultivation Technique aura had undergone earth-shaking changes. Coupled with the greater distance,

she only felt that the crimson-gold figure looked a bit familiar and did not think deeply about it.
