Chapter 1530: Predestined Ending

After Meng Zhangxing researched for a while, he began to feel around on the stone gate.

The stone gate had many protrusions and recesses; Meng Zhangxing followed the recesses, moving those protrusions, as if trying to arrange some pattern.

Ye Liuyun didn't understand this at all, and could only watch from the side.

But after Guo Da looked for a while, he seemed to see some clues, went up and discussed with Meng Zhangxing before moving again.

"It should be a pattern of nine stars linked together."

Guo Da confirmed.

"Then should this largest piece of stone be placed in the middle?"

Meng Zhangxing asked.

"I think so as well..." Guo Da replied.

The two of them, while researching, fiddled with it.

Just as Meng Zhangxing finished placing the last stone piece, that stone gate also showed movement.

First came the sound of the mechanism clicking, and then the gate slowly opened.

Everyone used True Essence to cover their mouths and noses, lest any foul smell escape again.

What surprised them was that inside there was only one entrance to the Secret Realm, with nothing else.

"It seems the arrangement inside this formation is far more complicated than I imagined.

"This place actually connects to a Secret Realm."

Guo Da, while checking the condition of the Secret Realm, sighed with feeling.

Everyone also crossed the stone gate.

Afterwards, the stone gate closed behind them, and the sound of the mechanism kept ringing nonstop.

"Then should we go in?"

Meng Zhangxing asked Guo Da.

"Of course we must go in! This is the way out.

"The treasure might be hidden in here!"

Guo Da said.

"I previously thought the treasure was in that big mountain!"

Meng Zhangxing sighed.

"Yes! If we hadn't been able to see the layout of the whole great tomb from high above, we would definitely not have come here.

"That high mountain is completely a decoy.

"Let Luo Tianming and them slowly explore it!"

Guo Da said with a laugh.

A Ya suddenly asked happily: "If they also entered this formation here, would they not be trapped to death here, never able to get out?"

Guo Da then said almost certainly: "Not bad! They all die here, so you don't have to worry about the Curse Clan being implicated!"

"They indeed all came in, none left behind!"

Ye Liuyun confirmed.

Outside the tomb, the Black Python had already passed information to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun did not let it enter the tomb, but waited outside.

But he also said: "If possible, I still want to personally see Luo Tianming's corpse before leaving.

"This guy has too many treasures on him! I worry he might have some special treasure that could let him leave alive from here."

Meng Zhangxing also nodded in agreement: "Not bad! Those treasures were hidden by their ancestors; maybe they really will give them some treasure that can get out of here.

"If there's a chance, it's better to just kill them and be at ease!"

At this moment, Luo Tianming and company have all entered the tomb to conduct investigation.

Even high-realm Martial Cultivators tried to fly up, but could not see the ground situation.

After flying wildly in the yin-energy mist, they landed again, yet still remained in their original position.

They also tried to retreat from the tomb, but found it seemed like they had entered an Illusion Array, and simply could not get out.

"It seems there is a formation here!"

Luo Tianming and them also guessed this is a great formation.

"Could it be that those people are up to their tricks again?

"Otherwise, how would we have fallen into a formation just after entering the tomb?"

Some Martial Cultivators still suspected they had fallen into another formation set up by Ye Liuyun and company.

"Uncertain, everyone spread out and be extra careful!"

Luo Tianming also wasn't sure whether Ye Liuyun and company were causing trouble, so he could only have everyone be extra careful.

Although they were many in number, they also dared not casually touch any tomb, fearing they would be framed by Ye Liuyun and company.

There were Formation Masters who understood formations, yet they could not find the formation's eye here at all.

In the end they could only say it was the same as last time, a formation set up by Ye Liuyun and company using the power of Heaven and Earth.

He had not seen the full picture, so it was utterly impossible to find the formation's eye.

Guo Da saw the full picture, yet likewise did not find the formation's eye.

The design of this formation follows the arrangement of the heavenly star constellations.

Once the formation is triggered, it will begin to change continuously.

Until all the living people inside are completely dead.

And Ye Liuyun and company, after opening the Death Gate and entering, actually already counted as having triggered the formation.

Now this Ancient Great Array has begun to gradually evolve and has started launching attacks.

However, the array operates rather slowly; it has just begun, and Luo Tianming and the others have not yet witnessed how formidable this formation is.

And the tombstone that Ye Liuyun and the others had previously entered has, along with the shifting terrain, changed its position.

On the stone slab, another thick layer of dust had been piled on, as if it had never been disturbed.

The stone steps of the underground passage also slowly rose, completely blocking the passage beneath the stone slab.

Thus Luo Tianming and the others' fate is practically sealed; all that awaits them is the utter destruction of their entire force.

Guo Da also asked everyone for their opinion at this moment: 'Inside this Secret Realm is absolutely a place of death, not designed for the living.'

Therefore, the dangers inside cannot be lacking.

If we can get through all the dangers, we will eventually find a way out.

But if—

'After we go in, will we still be able to turn back?'

Luo Yun didn't let him continue speaking.

'What turning back?'

Didn't you hear the sound of the mechanism just now?

That must be those stone steps having sealed off the passage we came down.

We can't go back now!

Meng Zhangxing said.

Only then did Ye Liuyun understand what the sound of the mechanism he had just heard continuously ringing meant.

It turns out the retreat route has been sealed off!

'There's nothing more to say; just go straight in!'

Ye Liuyun said.

'After entering, we might encounter danger; everyone be careful.'

Upon hearing that, Guo Da also stopped wasting words and directly reminded everyone.

He also took the Defense Array Plate and the treasure in hand, making battle preparations.

'I'll go in first!'

Ye Liuyun voluntarily stood at the very front.

After him came Meng Zhangxing, Guo Da, Luo Yun, and finally A Ya.

'Treasure, we're here!'

Meng Zhangxing shouted loudly.

At the same moment, Ye Liuyun also walked into the entrance of the Secret Realm.

As soon as Ye Liuyun appeared, he startled several nearby wandering skeletons.

Ye Liuyun had no time to survey the surroundings; he immediately drew his Demon Slaying Sword and charged at those zombies, clearing a space for those coming behind.

Those skeletons were not high in cultivation; a few blows from Ye Liuyun scattered them.

But Ye Liuyun discovered that the bones of those skeletons actually wanted to rejoin.

Yet the wounds inflicted by the Demon Slaying Sword prevented them from healing.

At that moment, the others also appeared one after another behind Ye Liuyun.

In the distance, several more skeletons, upon seeing the living here, immediately roared and charged over.
