244: The restriction has been lifted, and we have entered the second level of the Abyss Secret Realm.

After the spiritual light dissipated, the complex Restriction covering the main hall's entrance underwent a massive change.

The Restriction, which had previously shown no reaction, was instantly activated. Following a thunderous roar, the entire Giant Stone Underground Palace began to shake, and all the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged into the Restriction, causing it to start dissipating.

"The Restriction has been lifted!"

Many Cultivators said excitedly.

Especially the leading Cultivators from the several Holy Lands; they had been somewhat skeptical of Su Yun's words before.

But they hadn't expected Su Yun to be telling the truth.

Many Cultivators looked at Su Yun with admiration.

"Young Master Su, you were actually right.

How did you figure it out?"

Liu Ruoxi asked curiously.

She had also doubted Su Yun's words just now and was still thinking of ways to lift this Restriction.

But she hadn't expected it to be exactly as he said!

"I guessed."

Su Yun waved his hand and said.

Restrictions within this kind of Secret Realm were nothing more than those few types; one could figure it out by guessing.

The sudden appearance of the Giant Stone Maze earlier had no warning.

This indicated it was related to time.

It wasn't strange that the Restriction on the hall deep within this Giant Stone Underground Palace was also related to time.

Being able to think of this really wasn't anything impressive.

Twenty breaths later, the Restriction was completely lifted, revealing an ancient hall covered in spiritual runes.

At that moment, the hall doors suddenly opened slowly, and a powerful pressure was released from within.

Through the doors, a teleportation light gate several hundred zhang in size could be seen deep within the hall; the inside of the light gate was pitch black.

"Is this the teleportation gate leading to the next layer?"

Many Cultivators were cautiously observing the situation inside the hall.

They didn't enter immediately.

After all, they had encountered many stone rooms filled with traps in the Giant Stone Maze, resulting in heavy casualties.

So, seeing such a vast, empty hall, their first instinct was to suspect there might be traps.

"I'll go in and take a look first!"

A Youth in White Robes at the Nascent Soul Layer One Realm dashed toward the hall.

He felt that there were no traps in the hall at all.

The traps were likely all within the maze.

Since the other Cultivators didn't dare to enter, if he entered the second layer early, he might obtain an Opportunity sooner!

"This is?"

The Youth in White Robes had just stepped through the hall's entrance when he was instantly pinned to the ground by a wave of pressure, spitting out blood.

He hurriedly turned back, crawling and rolling until he left the hall.

"There is an incredible pressure inside this hall; one can only reach that teleportation light gate by resisting the pressure."

Many Cultivators had already guessed the situation inside the hall.

"So that's how it is. Then I'll go in first!"

Zhou Zhenyue led a group of Lingwu Holy Land Disciples and charged toward the hall.

As Body Tempering Cultivators, their ability to withstand pressure was much stronger, so even if the pressure inside the hall was powerful, they could resist it.

"As expected of the Disciples of the Lingwu Holy Land; although they are moving slowly, they are steadily approaching the teleportation light gate leading to the next layer."

Many people exclaimed.

Among the Disciples of the Lingwu Holy Land, there were also many who were only at the Spirit Transformation First Layer.

They weren't instantly pinned down like the Youth in White Robes from before; although it was difficult, they continued to walk toward the depths of the hall.

"We're going in too!"

Spiritual light flickered on Qi Xiuyuan's body as he released a Spiritual Energy Barrier, then led a group of Dao Yi Holy Land Disciples into the hall.

Unlike the Lingwu Holy Land Disciples, the Spiritual Energy Barrier they released was extremely powerful, though it was being constantly consumed.

However, they still managed to barely resist the pressure.

Li Xue glanced at Liu Ruoxi and also led a group of Jade Pool Holy Land Disciples inside. Unlike the Cultivators from other Holy Lands, the Jade Pool Holy Land Disciples released Spells in a profound way to form a Formation to resist the powerful pressure in the hall.

Cultivators from other Holy Lands also entered one after another, using various methods to resist the pressure.

"Let's go in as well!"

Su Yun looked at Liu Ruoxi and said.

"Alright!"

Liu Ruoxi nodded.

The two walked directly into the hall as if they couldn't feel the pressure at all, quickly overtaking several Holy Land teams that had set out earlier.

"They actually ignored the pressure?"

"Impossible!"

Qi Xiuyuan looked at Su Yun and Liu Ruoxi in disbelief.

Are these two still in the Spirit Transformation Realm?

Why was the gap between him and these two so large?

Most importantly, his Realm was even higher than theirs!

Other Holy Land Disciples also widened their eyes:

"Is this even resisting pressure?"

"This is simply like taking a stroll back to one's Immortal Cave!"

"Is this the strength of Su Yun and that Girl in White Robes?

Truly powerful!"

Originally, the Disciples of several major Holy Lands didn't believe Su Yun's strength was that formidable, but seeing this scene, they finally believed it.

Under the shocked gazes of the Cultivators, Su Yun and Liu Ruoxi came from behind and soon reached the depths of the hall.

Just as they reached the depths of the hall, the teleportation light gate was instantly activated. The previously dim light gate immediately emitted a dazzling spiritual light, forming a Spatial Vortex.

The two stepped directly inside.

With a flash of blinding spiritual light.

Su Yun and Liu Ruoxi vanished from the spot.

"No! We need to hurry too!"

The Cultivators present cast various Spells to resist the pressure and sped toward the teleportation light gate... Sunken Abyss Battlefield.

A dazzling spiritual light flashed.

Two figures appeared on a patch of open ground.

"Is this the Sunken Abyss Battlefield?"

Su Yun looked around and found that there was thick Evil Qi nearby.

This Evil Qi had already formed large patches of mist, drifting around.

If ordinary Cultivators came here, they would surely be affected by the Evil Qi.

The sky here was even dimmer than the first layer of the Sunken Abyss Mystic Realm, with only faint moonlight reaching the ground.

"Such thick Evil Qi."

Liu Ruoxi frowned slightly and spoke with a grave tone.

It wasn't that the Evil Qi would affect her.

After all, with her Immaculate Sacred Body, her spiritual energy possessed innate purification power; this Evil Qi was purified before it could even enter her body.

It was because the presence of such thick Evil Qi meant that some powerful Yao Beasts might appear.

"This should be an Ancient Battlefield."

Su Yun flickered and arrived on a small hillside.

Looking around from the hillside, he could see many remains of Spiritual Artifacts, as well as the skeletons of Yao Beasts and Cultivators.

It was evident that this place had experienced a fierce battle long ago.

Judging from the residual spiritual energy in the remains of these Spiritual Artifacts, this great battle must have happened a long time ago.

"Many of the Cultivators who died here were in the Dao Integration Realm."

Liu Ruoxi felt the aura of the surrounding skeletons and said with some shock.

"Then we must be careful."

Su Yun looked around alertly and rushed toward the depths of the Sunken Abyss Battlefield.

Liu Ruoxi also followed with light steps.

There was also an Air-Restriction Formation here, so the two could only use Movement Techniques to travel.

As the two delved deeper into the Sunken Abyss Battlefield.

The Cold Air grew heavier, and thick mist appeared, slowly surrounding them.

"Be careful, this isn't right."

Su Yun stopped and observed the surrounding mist.
