628: This rule is so annoying.

Shen Bei walked on the chains, looking down at the nine bleeding Devil Dragons. Besides having to endure Wu Lei's power, he no longer needed to worry about anything else.

And the power of Wu Lei invading his body was also absorbed by his Magnetic Yuan Whirlwind Skill, increasing his own current voltage.

Shen Bei clicked his tongue a few times: "Being able to cultivate while walking, that's impressive."

Looking further, he could clearly see that the people who had entered earlier were struggling to advance on the backs of the bleeding Devil Dragons.

The Devil Dragon's blood contained terrifying poison and corrosive power, as well as the resentment of being flayed and bound here, bleeding for thousands of years, which constantly gnawed at their Divine Souls like a potent poison.

But for Shen Bei, poison and such were already immune; the Fifth Dimension was empty, so he didn't even need to be distracted.

The Little Devil Buddha had two layers of black halos behind his head, chanting with his eyes closed. With each step he took, a ferocious Devil Head would appear beneath his feet, supporting him as he moved forward.

Blood Depletion Dao Consort's eyes were Crimson. The dense resentment there had already interfered with her sanity. At this moment, she was just barely holding on, letting a Ku Xue Dao Soldier carry her forward.

After walking across the back of one Devil Dragon, one of the emaciated Ku Xue Dao Soldiers was corroded into a puddle of pus by the Devil Dragon's blood, turning into black blood that flowed down.

She then switched to another Ku Xue Dao Soldier, continuing to be carried forward, but before long, it too vanished...

As for Duan Kong, he held a compass in his hand, his eyes tightly shut, and walked on a dugout canoe made from a round piece of wood. He moved continuously, neither fast nor slow, and for a while, there was no danger.

Shen Bei looked at the dugout canoe, feeling a bit envious. Is Duan Kong that rich?

He actually managed to get a piece of divine wood from somewhere and even made it into a dugout canoe. That's truly extravagant.

On the Lantern Sect trio's side, Sect Master Sect Leader Ding Dong held a square lantern, on which a large-eyed strange beast was carved. The beast's eyes emitted a ghostly blue light, enveloping the three of them.

At the very back, Yan Jingchang had a Emerald Green Light above his head, with one hand behind his back, walking leisurely as if strolling through a garden, treading on the Void Realm. He looked the most relaxed.

Aside from these few people, most of the remaining ones would find it very difficult to pass this barrier path.

Either they were corroded into pus by the Devil Dragon's blood, or their minds were eroded by resentment, causing them to leap off the Devil Dragon's back in a frenzy, falling to an unknown destination.

Shen Bei secretly rejoiced that he hadn't let the scoundrels from the Ghost Ship follow him...

Otherwise, he might have ended up as a lone commander again.

He walked along the chains, feeling the numbing destructive Qi, while looking down at the others struggling to advance. Especially towards the end, everyone who made it this far looked utterly disheveled.

The further back one went along the nine Devil Dragons, the greater the consumption.

On the other side, the barrier path where the others walked showed no sign of the nine Devil Dragons.

All they saw was a long river of churning black blood, walking in this boundless river.

The Little Devil Buddha's face was ashen, his lips moving rapidly up and down, chanting faster and faster. The two layers of halos behind his head flickered, seemingly on the verge of extinguishing at any moment.

Blood Depletion Dao Consort's eyes had already begun to bleed. Her malevolence was too strong, and she had killed countless people, making her most susceptible to the reaction of resentment. She was already so eroded that she was close to losing her mind, and the powerful Ku Xue Dao Soldiers in her possession had all been depleted.

Now, only some Ku Xue Dao Soldiers of seventh or eighth-tier strength remained. Carrying her, they couldn't traverse more than a few tens of meters in the black river before turning into foul blood and merging with it. She could only constantly take out one Ku Xue Dao Soldier after another...

As for Duan Kong, his flesh and blood had withered somewhat, his waist was hunched, and he was kneeling on the dugout canoe, letting it carry him forward.

The Lantern Sect trio took turns holding the lantern, all of them looking pale and exhausted.

Yan Jingchang, who was at the very end, also stopped pretending. Sweat had soaked his luxurious clothes, and he no longer had the energy to care. His once leisurely stroll had turned into a stumbling gait.

"Either they have strength or they have rare treasures. If I were to fight these guys outside without risking my life, I probably wouldn't be able to defeat a single one..."

Shen Bei secretly sighed, "Fortunately, my Fifth Dimension Attribute is immune..."

He was the last to enter but the first to reach the end of the chains. He looked down at the others, waiting for them to cross the back of the last Devil Dragon. Only then did Shen Bei leap from the chains and jump into the final whirlpool.

"Crackle..."

Rain poured down, the sky was dim, and between heaven and earth, there was only a bleak and murderous Qi.

As the black rain fell, figures in this world, along with the black rain, fell from mid-air and scattered.

A falling black raindrop suddenly expanded, transforming into a human form. As the rainwater dispersed, Shen Bei's figure emerged from it.

Shen Bei had intended to fly to the ground, but the True Qi in his body showed no reaction, and he fell straight to the ground.

"Boom!"

"Ptooey ptooey ptooey..." A large pit several zhang wide was created in the ground. Shen Bei spat out dirt, covered in dust, and climbed out of the pit: "This place actually suppresses evasion techniques. Are these people so afraid of others using evasion techniques to rush straight in?"

Any tomb suppressing evasion techniques is absolutely standard.

If some powerful individuals buried in famous mountains and rivers didn't set up means to suppress evasion techniques, a simple earth evasion technique might allow someone to drill in directly and open their coffin lid.

However, this is a separate barrier used as a tomb! Suppressing evasion techniques, who the hell can directly evade in from the outside?

Is there such a thing as world evasion?

Even if there is, without a target, randomly evading, aren't you afraid of plunging headfirst into the Void Realm and dying in a spectacularly varied way?

Shaking off the dirt, Shen Bei wiped his face and walked to a higher point on the side, looking around.

Forests were everywhere, with giant trees. Hundred-zhang-tall colossal trees were merely saplings here.

However, almost all the trees had withered, with only some withered yellow leaves stubbornly hanging on the branches, retaining their last bit of dignity.

Bleak, silent, and murderous Qi permeated the heavens and earth.

The sky was overcast, but no black clouds were visible; it was just that gray-white color. The ground was also somewhat dry, and after the black rain fell all over, there was no sign of the ground being wet. The black rain seemed like an illusion, seeping into the earth and disappearing after landing.

Not far away, a dry river exposed its riverbed. Upstream from the river, there was also a dried-up lake, with some areas covered in black mud, while others were dry and cracked.

"Is this the Burial Sea Secret Lord's tomb..."

Shen Bei muttered to himself. It was completely different from what he had imagined. This barrier, apart from being dilapidated and bleak, showed no sign of Death Qi at all.

Although the Spiritual Qi was very sluggish, it was not sparse at all; it just took a bit more effort to absorb and refine.

He heard no chirping of insects or birds, nor the roaring of beasts or the cries of apes.

Barriers also have life and death. Each barrier is like a leaf hanging on the giant tree of the Great World.

There are new barriers, like newly grown green leaves, dripping with verdant life and vitality.

There are also some barriers, like withered leaves, waiting to fall and decay.

However, some barriers might go through the entire process without ever being discovered by Cultivators.

And this one before him was clearly a barrier that had entered its twilight years but had not yet begun to wither.

Shen Bei was very surprised, as in his anticipation,

The Burial Sea Secret Lord's tomb should at least have countless Vicious Beasts, refined alive into tomb-guarding Vicious Beasts, to stand guard here.

Just like Wu Bi'an's tomb, Zhuang Bifan had to lure away the Vicious Beasts outside, allowing Shen Bei to enter.

And upon entering here, what he should have first felt was overwhelming Death Qi, obscuring the sky and sun, not some Vicious Beasts guarding it. It clearly looked like a peaceful resting place for the deceased.

Who would have thought that after entering, he didn't even feel any Death Qi...
