364: The appearance of the Shepherd Lord startled Ximen Yun.

Five zhang... three zhang... Ximen Yun could even feel the rich vitality and the fragrance of vegetation wafting from the Immortal Island.

He reached out his hand, fingertips trembling, as he touched the cyan light barrier that rippled like water.

At this critical juncture—

Another anomaly occurred!

It didn't come from the Immortal Island ahead, nor from the pursuers behind, but... from the entrance of the passage!

Boom!

An indescribably majestic pressure, like an ancient behemoth awakening from slumber, swept in from the corridor entrance without warning!

This pressure wasn't targeted at anyone, but wherever it passed, the originally violent Spatial Repulsion within the passage...

...actually calmed and receded submissively, as if encountering its monarch.

Even the flickering Law fragments and subtle spatial ripples instantly became much quieter.

All the Prodigies struggling forward in the passage, including Ximen Yun who had almost touched the light barrier,

as well as Savage Mountain and the others desperately following behind, were all startled by this sudden pressure and subconsciously looked back.

At the entrance of the silver-white corridor, three figures had appeared at some unknown time.

The leader was dressed in white, pristine and spotless, standing tall and straight like a pine tree.

His appearance was breathtakingly handsome, surrounded by a faint Chaos Qi, with eyes deep and calm.

As if containing a boundless starry sky, he stood with his hands behind his back, calmly looking into the depths of the passage.

His gaze happened to meet those of Ximen Yun, Savage Mountain, and the others who were looking back.

Behind him, the person on the left had an aura as deep as the night, seemingly able to swallow light, while the person on the right had a faint starlight flowing around him, possessing an extraordinary bearing.

They were Mu Zun, Qin Tianhai, and Qin Xinghe, who had just arrived at the outskirts of the Immortal Island and entered the passage upon seeing everyone else rushing in!

And the source of that terrifying pressure that caused the repulsion in the corridor to 'retreat' was none other than that white-clad youth—Mu Zun!

Under the horrified gazes of everyone—

Mu Zun moved.

He didn't even spare a glance at Ximen Yun, Savage Mountain, and the others struggling ahead, as if they were merely insignificant roadblocks.

He simply took a light step forward.

This step seemed ordinary.

However, his figure instantly crossed the area at the corridor entrance where some repulsion still remained, stepping into the corridor as if taking a stroll in a courtyard.

What made everyone's scalps tingle even more was that the Spatial Repulsion that made it impossible for them to move an inch without giving their all seemed non-existent before Mu Zun!

No, it wasn't that it didn't exist.

Rather, when those repulsive forces approached within three feet of Mu Zun, they naturally diverted and bypassed him like subjects encountering an emperor, even faintly showing signs of gathering to guard him! It was as if this space was meant to be dominated by him!

Mu Zun's pace was steady and composed, his white clothes fluttering and Chaos Qi swirling around him. He walked step by step along the silver-white corridor toward the light barrier of the Immortal Island in the depths.

His speed wasn't fast, yet it carried an unstoppable and matter-of-fact air.

Wherever he passed, the originally violent energy turbulence in the corridor became submissive, small Law fragments quietly vanished, and even the space seemed to become more stable.

This inconceivable scene completely stunned everyone in the corridor!

"How... how is this possible?!" Savage Mountain's eyes bulged like copper bells, his mouth hanging open, almost forgetting to move forward, his face filled with disbelief.

The repulsion he had to fight with all his might was like a gentle breeze to that person?

For the first time, a violent emotional fluctuation appeared on Moon Without Flaw's cold and beautiful face, her eyes filled with shock and bewilderment.

The folding fan in Zhuge Ming's hand froze in mid-air, the gentle smile on his face long gone, replaced by extreme horror and a trace of incomprehensible confusion.

He specialized in the Dao of Space, so he could better feel the eerie obedience the spatial Laws in the passage were showing toward that white-clad youth.

Bai Shuo, Liu Xiangling, and Yan Yuchen were even more like they had been hit by a freezing spell, their faces as pale as paper, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

He was here again, that Imperial Son of the Qin Clan who had erased Gloomy Evil with a single punch.

As for Ximen Yun, who was only three zhang away from the Immortal Island's light barrier, when he looked back and saw Mu Zun's calm yet infinitely majestic face,

his heart suddenly constricted, and a wave of coldness instantly froze his blood!

Qin Zun?!

Why is he here?!

In Ximen Yun's mind, the terrifying memory of being slapped to death in his previous life overlapped with Mu Zun's current indifferent gaze that viewed all things as ants.

Immediately, a massive sense of fear and suffocation surged into his heart.

He even felt that the slight head start he had just fought so hard for

was nothing more than a ridiculous joke in front of this Imperial Son of the Qin Clan.

Just as Ximen Yun's mind was reeling and he was almost about to give up—

Mu Zun had already walked through most of the corridor and passed him by.

He didn't even spare him a glance.

As if he were just an inconspicuous stone by the roadside.

Mu Zun's gaze remained calmly fixed on the cyan light barrier of the Immortal Island ahead.

To him, it didn't matter who reached the island first.

If there was an Opportunity on this Immortal Island, it would be his.

If not, it was just a passing scene.

Under the dull, fearful, and disbelieving gazes of everyone,

Mu Zun just walked to the end of the corridor without any hindrance and stood before the cyan light barrier.

He reached out a finger and tapped it lightly.

The light barrier rippled like water, silently opening a gateway.

Mu Zun stepped inside, his figure disappearing into the cyan light.

From beginning to end, he didn't say a word or look at anyone.

Only after his figure had completely entered the Immortal Island did the invisible pressure shrouding the corridor slowly dissipate. The terrifying Spatial Repulsion in the corridor seemed to recover somewhat, but compared to before, it was clearly much weaker, as if it had been 'sorted out' by Mu Zun.

Dead silence.

In the corridor, only the sound of heavy, uneven breathing and the thumping of racing hearts remained.

Everyone was still immersed in the scene that had just overturned their cognition, unable to recover for a long time.

Qin Tianhai and Qin Xinghe looked at each other, both seeing the shock and a sense of naturalness in each other's eyes. The Imperial Son's majesty should be like this! Without any hesitation, they took advantage of the weakened repulsion in the corridor and quickly followed, passing through the light barrier one after another to enter the Immortal Island.

Only after the three figures from the Qin Imperial Clan had all disappeared did the other Prodigies in the corridor seem to be released from their freezing spell.

"He... he just went in like that?" someone muttered to themselves, their voice dry.

"Imperial Son of the Qin Clan... Qin Zun... what kind of monster is he?!" someone else's voice trembled with incomprehensible fear.

Savage Mountain slammed a fist against the spatial wall beside him, making a dull sound, his face ashen, his eyes filled with unwillingness and deep wariness.

Moon Without Flaw took a deep breath, forcing her mind to calm down, her gaze toward the Immortal Island's light barrier becoming even more complex.

Zhuge Ming closed his folding fan, his brow furrowed, seemingly performing some rapid calculations, but eventually shook his head, the confusion in his eyes deepening.

Bai Shuo, Liu Xiangling, and Yan Yuchen looked defeated; their previous ambitions had been shattered by Mu Zun's display of absolute strength. They knew that with that person there, the greatest Opportunity on this Immortal Island was likely out of their reach.

As for Ximen Yun, after the initial fear, a more frenzied fire reignited in his eyes. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the light barrier that was within reach.

"Qin Zun... you've come too... Good! In this life, I will definitely make you pay the price! I will never let you monopolize the Immortal Island's Opportunity!"

He mustered his last bit of strength and lunged forward, finally passing through the cyan light barrier and disappearing.

Following Ximen Yun's entry, Savage Mountain and the others also reacted. Although a heavy shadow loomed in their hearts, with the Opportunity before them, how could they give up? Everyone pulled themselves together and braved the weakened repulsion, scrambling to charge toward the light barrier.
