As the Universe Turns - Chapter 550
Chapter 550 Barrier
The faces of the four old men turned deathly pale. Just now, in order to open the barrier, they had expended quite a bit of Genuine energy. The barrier had been opened, but it seemed impossible to seal it again. As the crack on the barrier continued to spread, even people hundreds of miles away would be able to enter the depths of the forest.
At most three days, the barrier would completely dissipate. At that time, the depths of the forest would be wide open. No matter if it was people from the Righteous path, Diabolism, or those wandering loose people, they would be able to enter at that time.
This was not what Tai Shi Dao Sect wanted to see, but there was nothing he could do now. It was impossible to kill all the tens of thousands of people here. They still did not have the ability to do so. For today’s plan, they could only go into the depths of the forest first. Even if they did not care about all the consequences, they had to snatch that thing from their hands and not fall into other people’s hands.
Thinking of this, Old man Qingyi no longer hesitated and said to the two disciples beside him, “The barrier is about to be opened. Go invite the two elders!”
“Yes … Yes!”
Facing the sudden change, the two disciples panicked. With a pinch of their hand seals, they quickly took out a talisman. The talisman turned into a golden light and instantly enveloped the two of them, disappearing.
Not long after, the people from the various sects and sects had arrived. Seeing that it was the people from Tai Shi Dao Sect who had opened the barrier, everyone had some confidence in their hearts.
Although Tai Shi Dao Sect’s reputation in the Immortal Origin Five Regions had risen over the years, there were many people from various sects that came today. An old man in purple took a step forward and said loudly, “So it was fellow Daoist Tai Shi Dao Sect. I wonder if the four fellow Daoists would be able to see the people from the Devil Religion coming here.”
Hearing this, the four old men from Tai Shi Dao Sect remembered the four Demon Gates, Palace Master Lianhua, and the traitor from the Black Azure Sect. Just now, they were focused on breaking through the barrier, but didn’t notice the arrival of those Demon Gates’ people.
Old man Qingyi looked at the people from the various sects in the distance and replied, “We were waiting here just now, but we didn’t see the people from the Demon Gate.”
“Didn’t you see it?”
The crowd whispered. They had clearly seen the people from the Devil Sect pass by, and the two Martial Aunts of Qinghong Sect had also confirmed it. Why did Tai Shi Dao Sect say that he did not see them? What the hell are they doing in the dark?
“Boom!”
Right at this moment, a loud explosion suddenly came from afar. At this moment, it was as if the heavens and the earth were shaken. Dust billowed within a radius of more than a dozen kilometers. The crack in the barrier was expanding more and more rapidly. It was likely that the entire barrier would collapse in a short period of time.
“Back … back!”
The four elders of the Tai Shi Dao Sect immediately ordered their disciples to retreat into the distance. Once the barrier collapsed, they would probably be annihilated if they got a little closer to it under the impact of such a terrifying force.
Hundreds of disciples retreated one after another. Seeing that the barrier was about to collapse, the people from the various sects and sects in the distance retreated as well.
…
“Junior Sister! Don’t worry …”
As soon as Qianyu Nichang arrived, Xia Guyun and Shen Yu immediately chased after him. They were afraid that she would act recklessly again. The dangers in the depths of the forest were far more dangerous than those outside. Moreover, the barrier was unstable at this moment. If they rushed in, the slightest bit of carelessness would end up in ashes.
“Rumble!”
The surroundings around the barrier trembled more and more ferociously. The ground cracked, and rocks rolled down. This continued for a long time. The cracks continued to spread, but the barrier did not collapse.
As long as the barrier did not collapse, no one would be able to enter. At this moment, everyone held their breath and many people were prepared. Once the barrier collapsed, they would immediately rush into the depths of the forest. No matter how dangerous it was, there was no reason to retreat.
In the distance, there were still people gathering in succession. Seeing that more and more people had gathered, the disciples of Tai Shi Dao Sect began to feel a little uneasy.
A disciple walked up to the four old men and whispered, “Master, there are more and more of them. What should we do now?”
The four elders remained silent. The azure-clothed elder raised his head and looked at the barrier in the distance. The barrier could not collapse for a while now. It was just in time for the two elders to arrive. As long as the two elders came, they would be able to intimidate the people here with their cultivation base … Thinking of this, the four of them felt a little relieved.
After about half an incense stick of time, the vibration around the barrier became more and more intense. A dangerous aura also seeped out from the crack, causing many people to feel a chill behind them, and subconsciously retreated further away.
At this moment, in a hidden cave, Xiao Chen and Hua Weiyang were hiding inside, waiting for the barrier to collapse. Yu Qixuanji and Xiaoyao Jun were also hiding in the shadows, waiting for the barrier to collapse and then waiting for an opportunity to move.
The tremors outside became more and more intense. The two Martial Aunts of Qinghong Sect were searching around with their divine senses. They thought to themselves, “Why did they disappear in the blink of an eye when they saw Xiao Yichen and the few people from the Devil Dao coming this way?”
“Junior Sister, what are you thinking?”
On the Xuanqing Sect’s side, Leng Qianxue saw that along the way, Qianyu Nichang didn’t speak to anyone. At this moment, she couldn’t help but feel a little strange. She followed her gaze and looked over. Other than a few caves filled with rocks, there was nothing else.
“Junior Sister Qianyu … what’s wrong with you?”
Poria also walked up and looked at Qianyu Nichang with a puzzled expression. It seemed that since she came out of the valley the past few days, she had been strange and did not speak to anyone.
“Boom!”
At this moment, a violent shockwave suddenly rang out. Immediately after, the cracks on the barrier began to close again.
“What’s going on …”
This time, many people were shocked. The barrier outside the depths of the dense forest was clearly about to collapse. Why did they start repairing it on their own now?
“How could this be …”
This time, even the people from the Tai Shi Dao Sect did not expect that the barrier was clearly about to collapse, but why were those cracks slowly gathering again?
In just a short moment, those cracks that had already been split open had actually slowly recovered. The barrier had once again become solid, and no one was likely able to enter this time.
“This … this!”
Seeing that the barrier had gradually stabilized, many people here were at a loss. It was not easy for them to wait until the barrier was opened. When would they have to wait until this time?
However, if he forcefully pierced through the crack, he would probably end up with his body and soul destroyed by a slight carelessness. No one here had the courage to risk their lives.
Inside the cave, seeing that the crack in the barrier was about to close again, Hua Weiyang couldn’t help but frown, “No, if this continues, once the crack is completely closed, there will be no way to enter again …”
Xiao Chen knew what she was thinking. If she didn’t get the item inside, she probably wouldn’t be able to open the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm and rescue Madam Xian Shu and the others. Therefore, no matter what, she had to go deep into the forest.
“But have you thought about it? Once we enter, the barrier will be sealed. How will we get out then?”
“This …”
Hua Weiyang frowned deeply. In the past, she could always think of many ways, but at this moment, her mind suddenly turned into a mess. She didn’t know what to do.
“Let’s go.”
Xiao Chen didn’t want her to make things difficult for him. Back then, he had been able to get out of Tomb of Gods and Demons. Could it be that he was still worried that he wouldn’t be able to get out of a small forest of 100,000?
“Yes.”
Hua Weiyang nodded. The two of them didn’t hesitate any longer and flew out of the cave in an instant. They turned into two swift shadows and rushed into the crack.
“Who … are they!”
Even though their speed had reached its limit, and they had almost vanished into the crack in the barrier in the blink of an eye, how could they not be noticed in front of everyone’s eyes?
Everyone’s hearts trembled when they saw someone forcefully charge into the crack. If something unexpected were to happen, they would probably not even be able to leave a trace of their souls behind. Who exactly were those two people just now? They actually didn’t want to die?
Just as everyone was shocked, another figure suddenly flew into the crack in the barrier. This time, it was none other than Qianyu Nichang.
“Junior Sister … don’t go!”
Behind them, Poria and the others were so frightened that their hearts almost split apart. How terrifying were those spirit formation cracks? If they rashly barged in like this, they would be on the verge of death!
