Chapter 469: Entering the Heavenly Tomb

The gate had just opened when Hun Clan's Hun Ya and another young expert of the Hun Clan rushed in directly.

Seeing Hun Ya leave so hurriedly, Xiao Yan was also somewhat dumbfounded, but after entering, as long as they didn't enter together, they would be randomly teleported. Now even if he chased, he couldn't catch up.

However, Xiao Yan hadn't planned to make a move immediately anyway; that would be too obvious. After all, this is the Gu Clan, and Xiao Yan couldn't be too obvious.

"Let's go in too!" Seeing that everyone else had gone in, Xun Er looked at Xiao Yan and said.

Xiao Yan nodded. After exchanging glances with Xun Er, the two transformed into two streams of light and rushed toward the gate, then disappeared into the strong light of the giant gate.

After Xun Er and Xiao Yan entered the gate, this ancient gate closed again, and the space fell into silence once more. The next time it opens, it will be half a year later.

After Xiao Yan entered the Heavenly Tomb, he discovered that the surroundings were shrouded in mist, making it unclear, and occasionally fire rays flickered, looking extremely strange.

"Is this the Heavenly Tomb?" Xiao Yan looked at Xun Er on the side and asked with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Xun Er nodded and said, "The Heavenly Tomb is incomparably vast. Others should have been teleported elsewhere, and it's somewhat difficult to find them. However, this is only the first layer of the Heavenly Tomb. The energy in the air is limited, so people who enter the Heavenly Tomb will eventually go to the third layer to retreat."

"Hehe, the energy in this first layer is denser than the Gu Realm. I really can't imagine how dense the energy in the third layer is." Xiao Yan said with a faint smile.

After entering this Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Yan's body devoured the surrounding energy like a glutton, which made Xiao Yan feel incomparably comfortable.

Following the rapid operation of the cultivation method in Xiao Yan's body, a small energy vortex gradually condensed around Xiao Yan.

Xun Er looked at the energy body that had turned into a small vortex around Xiao Yan's body and was also somewhat surprised. This is a manifestation of an extremely fast cultivation speed.

"With our current strength, staying in this first layer is purely a waste of time. The Heavenly Tomb is huge, so we'd better hurry to the second layer." Xun Er naturally didn't want to waste time here. The third layer is the final destination. If Xiao Yan can break through to Dou Sheng in the Heavenly Tomb, then he will have established a foothold in Zhongzhou and even these ancient clans.

Xiao Yan nodded, and his body's instinct also drove him to go to places with more abundant energy.

The two were both Half-Saint level experts at this moment, and their speed was extremely fast. However, on the way, Xiao Yan was suddenly attracted by a phantom. Seeing Xiao Yan stop, the phantom then rushed violently toward Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan looked at the incoming phantom and slapped it casually. The energy body began to distort, then exploded, leaving behind a glowing rhombic crystal.

Looking at this crystal storing pure energy, Xiao Yan looked at Xun Er and asked with a smile, "Is this the Heavenly Tomb's specialty energy core?"

"Yes! However, this kind of low-level energy core has limited effect on us. Even if we devour many, it's difficult to stir up any waves." Xun Er nodded, then said with a faint smile, "The Heavenly Tomb's energy cores are divided into nine levels. The one in your hand can only be considered level three."

Xiao Yan nodded, absorbed the energy core casually, and then went toward the depths of the Heavenly Tomb with Xun Er again.

After a long journey of more than a month, Xiao Yan and Xun Er finally arrived in front of an energy light screen.

"Is this the entrance to the second layer?" Xiao Yan looked at Xun Er on the side and asked with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Xun Er nodded and said with a faint smile, "This energy light screen has very strong pressure. People with insufficient strength cannot enter and will only be crushed into powder. However, this is nothing to us."

"Let's go!" Xiao Yan held Xun Er's small hand, and after condensing a circular defensive light barrier around the two, he walked in directly with Xun Er. Because Xiao Yan and Xun Er were the first to enter the second layer, the energy bodies they encountered were also very numerous, but most were energy bodies around five stars. No matter how many these energy bodies were, they couldn't stir up any waves in Xiao Yan and Xun Er's hands.

Xiao Yan and Xun Er fought all the way, and only a very few nine-star energy bodies could make them stop for a moment; the others were simply unable to withstand a single blow.

However, when Xiao Yan and Xun Er arrived at the entrance to the third layer, they discovered that the energy layer at the entrance to the third layer had already solidified.

Xiao Yan looked at the energy crystal layer that was like a wall, then slammed a punch out violently. The fist wind whistled, and the powerful force directly bombarded the energy crystal layer.

"Boom!" A thunder-like explosion sound rang out, and the energy crystal layer, which was three times harder than diamond, was directly blasted with a semi-circular large pit nearly three zhang wide.

"Brother Xiao Yan is truly worthy of having a body sanctified. Even if this solid energy crystal layer were burned with Exotic Fire, it would take a long time to burn it like this." Seeing Xiao Yan violently break the energy crystal layer, Xun Er praised.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, looked at Xun Er, and said, "If you want me to do hard labor, just say so. Do you need to use such flowery words?"

"Hee hee! I'll cheer for Brother Xiao Yan on the side." Xun Er stood on the side and gave Xiao Yan a cheering gesture.

Xiao Yan curled his lips, gripped his fists tightly, then threw punches left and right, bombarding toward the energy crystal layer. For a time, crystal chips flew everywhere.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Xiao Yan's fists were like pile drivers, the speed incomparably fast, as if the energy crystal layer in front of him didn't exist.

"Little girl, hurry up and keep up!" Xiao Yan looked at Xun Er standing behind him and shouted.

Xun Er smiled faintly and walked in along the hole Xiao Yan had made.

However, after Xun Er walked in, the hole Xiao Yan had made was actually closing rapidly.

Xiao Yan looked at the rapidly closing energy crystal and frowned slightly, knowing that this was the work of the Ancient Devouring Insects.

"Brother Xiao Yan, it's the Ancient Devouring Insects repairing these energy crystals." Xun Er also discovered that the energy crystals were healing rapidly, because people from the Gu Clan had entered the Heavenly Tomb more than once, so they were no strangers to the Ancient Devouring Insects.

"Hehe, then let's see who is faster!" Xiao Yan's fist speed increased again, and the speed of digging the hole was even faster. The energy crystals sprayed out by these Ancient Devouring Insects were far from enough for Xiao Yan to hit.

Seeing that they couldn't do anything to Xiao Yan, the Ancient Devouring Insects also gave up directly, no longer doing useless work.

Without the obstruction of the Ancient Devouring Insects, Xiao Yan's speed was even faster. It took less than half an hour to get out of the energy crystal layer and arrive at the third layer.

After entering the third layer, Xiao Yan felt that the surrounding energy was even denser, and even the earth was emitting rich energy. Xiao Yan felt as if he were in an ocean of energy for a moment.

At this moment, the cultivation method in Xiao Yan's body was also like a machine injected with oil, operating at high speed, and a huge vortex formed rapidly. Moreover, the vortex was getting larger and larger, covering the sky and blocking the sun, wrapping Xiao Yan firmly inside.

"Brother Xiao Yan, this is a sign that you are about to break through to Dou Sheng!" Seeing Xiao Yan wrapped in such a huge energy vortex, Xun Er said happily.
