The surging grandeur was enough to suffocate, comparable to a tsunami sweeping across several kilometers of beach!
Fortunately, this water surge, churning towards the sky, was not directed at the inner city. The heavenly sea was rolling towards the dense undead, where the area beneath the Ancient Capital's north gate was originally completely covered by layers of undead. However, as this water surge poured down, thousands of undead could be seen being swallowed by the monstrous surge and swept away from the city gate.
"Lu Huan has made his move!" Zhu Meng said calmly.
Lu Huan is the Commander of the Imperial Guards; he commands the Ancient Capital's most powerful Imperial Guard army, and every Imperial Guard is an Advanced-Tier Mage!
As Lu Huan made his move, the Skeleton Overlord in the sky also attacked. Their strengths were evenly matched.
Their battle quickly became the focus of everyone's attention, but in just a moment, a new change occurred.
"What is that!!!!"
"Sha Yuan!!!"
"That's Sha Yuan!!!"
The resentment and death energy were so immense they twisted space. Almost all Mages believed it was the entrance to hell, that below it was a real hell!
Everyone's eyes seemed to be absorbed by the black hole, devoid of any Spirit.
The Mages on the Bell Tower were all Super-Tier Mages, yet their fear in front of Sha Yuan was no different from that of the helpless ordinary people seeking refuge!
"Lu Huan and the Skeleton Overlord seem to be caught by Sha Yuan!" Someone suddenly shouted.
The Bell Tower erupted in an uproar. They had been so shocked by the appearance of Sha Yuan that they had forgotten Lu Huan and the Skeleton Overlord were actually in the chaotic vortex above Sha Yuan!
The previous black spot had expanded into a true void. The spatial vortex pattern could be seen churning incredibly slowly but with immense power.
Lu Huan and the Skeleton Overlord were simultaneously caught by this power. They both tried to escape this space almost at the same time, but their bodies were gradually being dragged into the hellish furnace below!
One must know that Lu Huan is an extremely powerful Super Mage, and the Skeleton Overlord is also a Skeleton Monarch. Even they could not escape the power of the black forbidden zone!
Even such powerful beings were ultimately swallowed by Sha Yuan, completely losing their lives!!!
Sha Yuan was approaching the inner city step by step. This ancient city, thousands of years old, housed a million people. The Black Vatican was using the lives of these million people to orchestrate Sa Lang's deification ceremony!!!
Just as everyone despaired, a guard slowly approached and handed the White Cloth Man a short note.
The White Cloth Man opened the note, and when he saw a symbol on it that only he could understand, his eyes wavered slightly...
Hope... hope had truly arrived.
The White Cloth Man immediately focused on Fang Gu, Lin Chen, Mo Fan, and others, but considering Sa Lang was also among them, he immediately whispered a few words into Han Ji's ear.
He understood the method to enter Sha Yuan: as long as they were descendants of the Ancient King, they could enter. The villagers of Weiju Village were indeed descendants of the Ancient King.
Lin Chen's goal for this trip was Sha Yuan. He didn't know if he was a descendant of the Ancient King; bloodline matters are mysterious, and this bloodline was a bit distant. But Lin Chen was prepared: it was the Earth Holy Spring, which was also one of the passes to enter Sha Yuan. Obtaining the Earth Holy Spring was not difficult for Lin Chen.
Soon, everyone had discussed a strategy. Lin Chen, Mo Fan, and the others would go to Sha Yuan together.
Under the escort of many Super Mages, Lin Chen and the others finally arrived near Sha Yuan. It was filled with extremely strong resentment and death energy, and the storms and spatial gravity they formed greatly affected even Super Mages. Yet, Lin Chen and the others were completely unaffected!
"The spatial gravity ahead is too great; we can't go in. We can only bring you this far. The rest is up to you!" Han Ji said with great effort. This place had reached his limit. If he continued, he would be swallowed by Sha Yuan like Lu Huan.
"Understood. The rest is up to fate!" Lin Chen said with a smile.
"I hope you succeed. The people of the Ancient Capital are counting on you!" Han Ji said.
Bidding farewell to Han Ji, Lin Chen and the others continued forward. The deeper they went into the abyss, the more the gloomy wind resembled a vast vortex of heaven and earth, shrouding the area in chaos, so much so that the vast army of corpses disappeared completely, as if they had stepped into another World.
Sha Yuan would undergo a spatial drift before dawn, so they had less than a night. None of them dared to waste a moment.
Upon reaching this terrifying Sha Yuan, glancing down into the abyss made one's heart leap, and all internal organs felt twisted and uncomfortable, with the whole body convulsing.
Anyone with trypophobia would likely have been scared to death by this sight...
Describing it as a hellish furnace is truly fitting. The most extreme ghouls, demons, and monsters in this World were piled up like a garbage incinerator, forming seas and mountains!
Tens of thousands of roars, howls, screams, and cries mixed together, piercing the soul, as if that pain had already covered the entire body!
"Fang Gu, you're older, you go first..." Mo Fan said.
"Honestly, I'd rather slit my own throat right now than jump into a place like this. I think the souls of those who die here are trapped forever..." Fang Gu said.
"I'll go first then!" Zhang Xiaohou, seeing that Fang Gu and Mo Fan were not very resolute, finally stepped forward.
"How about we go together?" Su Xiaoluo suggested.
"Alright!!!!"
Lin Chen, who was beside them, did not express any opinion. Seeing that everyone had made a decision, he immediately leaped up.
Thousands of ghosts were flying in Sha Yuan. The gloomy winds swirling around Sha Yuan emanated from these beings. Each ghost could create a gloomy, storm-like grave wind. With tens of millions of ghosts gathered in one deep opening, one could imagine the fate of any living creature that fell in.
"Feel my pain!!!"
"Come down and join me!!!"
"I've been here for a long time, and I have a lot to say. Will you listen...?"
During the fall, Lin Chen only felt countless resentments constantly impacting his Spirit, trying to tear his Spirit apart. As time passed, many never-before-seen scenes flashed through Lin Chen's mind. These scenes were the memories of the resentful Spirits' lives.
Although Lin Chen's mental force was very strong, facing so much resentment, Lin Chen still felt unbearable pain.
