Chapter 1889: The Terrifying Great Tomb
The voice of the Four Absolute Divine Soldiers sounded faintly behind him: "Perhaps it really is as the Sect Master said, he comes from that place."
"It seems more than likely now. Apart from that place, what other force or family could cultivate such a terrifying existence?"
Lu Yunting sighed.
"We should take action."
"Yes, let’s follow them first, and have Hell urgently send people over!"
Lu Yunting instructed.
Shooting a cold gleam from his eyes, he thought to himself with a cold smile, "Young Master Zhao, your true face will soon be revealed!"
Meanwhile, Qie Gewala was very familiar with the Ghost Gu Sect’s grand tomb and soon led Ye Chenfeng there.
A steep mountain loomed before them, without any cave or hollow in sight.
The feeling here was completely different from the Ghost Domain, which was eerie and terrifying, whereas here, there was no hint of sinister energy.
"Are you sure it’s here?"
Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but ask.
"Of course!"
Then, Qie Gewala took out some professional tools and conducted an examination.
He marked an area on a huge rock at a certain location on the mountain.
"Young Master Zhao, I need your help now."
Qie Gewala requested.
"Open it according to the area you marked?"
Ye Chenfeng asked.
"Exactly, Young Master Zhao. If it were me, I’d probably need a lot of tools to open it. For you, it’s very simple."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chenfeng stepped forward and pressed both hands on the giant rock.
A terrifying power coursed through the rock, smoothly slicing it like the sharpest blade, as if Lu Ban himself were reborn.
"Young Master Zhao, you are incredible, truly terrifying!"
Seeing Ye Chenfeng remove the rock, Qie Gewala was repeatedly shocked.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a sinister aura emanated from within.
Ye Chenfeng waved a hand, dispersing all the sinister aura.
"Young Master Ye, please follow me!"
Qie Gewala led the way. The Ghost Gu Sect’s tomb was primarily a sloped passage, over a hundred meters long, leading to a burial chamber at the end. The chamber was about thirty to forty meters high, quite magnificent.
The ceiling structure was concave inward, with a groove in the center forming the shape of an eye, seemingly watching anyone entering the chamber at all times.
Ahead of Ye Chenfeng and Qie Gewala was a corridor about twenty to thirty meters long, with statues resembling Black Venerate on both sides, their heads particularly ferocious.
Moreover, the ceiling above the stone statues was also built with several Black Venerate statues, but only the heads, mouths wide open as if ready to swallow someone whole.
"No wonder this is at least an Earth Level tomb; just the entrance is this difficult."
Qie Gewala couldn’t help but say, "Young Master Zhao, look at these statues. As soon as you pass through here, they will immediately spew fire, and one would likely be incinerated. Stepping over the heads of the statues won’t work either, as the statues on the ceiling will spew fire as well. The Ghost Gu Sect must have crafted a significant article, perhaps with toxic substances, sometimes unbearable even for the Heavenly Realm."
There were remnants of skeletons on the road ahead, very terrifying.
It seemed someone had attempted to enter the Ghost Gu Sect’s grand tomb but failed miserably.
"Oh!"
Ye Chenfeng responded softly, walking forward with calm composure.
Qie Gewala quickly followed but was filled with dread.
Ye Chenfeng advanced forward instead of retreating.
"Boom!"
As soon as they entered the statue’s area, the Black Venerate statues immediately spewed green flames from their mouths, the toxic fire’s might transforming the corridor into a sea of flames.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
A rainstorm of flames poured down from the ceiling, so dense there was no angle for escape or avoidance.
But around Ye Chenfeng, sword qi twirled, forming the strongest shield, securely enveloping him and Qie Gewala within.
The two of them easily traversed this area, reaching the huge stone gate of the burial chamber.
But Qie Gewala’s face abruptly changed: "No, Young Master Zhao, withdraw immediately!"
A series of piercing sounds came, and from the massive stone gate, over a thousand arrows emerged, their bright shafts glimmering with a chilling light, most of them likely poisoned.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Arrows flew in an instant, weaving terrifying sounds through the air, each arrow propelled by a strong Qi Force, roaring swiftly.
The arrows were dense and concentrated, leaving almost no gaps, and encountering them head-on would result in being riddled like a sieve.
This was what a common person might perceive.
But Ye Chenfeng saw things differently; each arrow had intricacies intended to counter Heavenly Realm and Heavenly Rule Realm practitioners.
"Bang!"
Ye Chenfeng waved a hand to shatter an arrow, which exploded immediately, akin to a high-explosive bomb, with a wide blast range.
In such a small space, if these arrows blasted open, the damage would be immense, enough to injure even a Martial Arts grandmaster.
"Break!"
Ye Chenfeng unleashed terrifying power from his body, surging outward like a tide.
Arrows shattered on the spot, subsequently exploding in intense waves, as if set on destroying the place.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Unexpectedly, another thousand arrows emerged from the stone gate, shooting out in torrents, overwhelming everything below.
Even a Heavenly Rule Realm expert couldn’t withstand such an onslaught without being Ye Chenfeng.
Moreover, the arrows exploded, making the damage all the more frightening.
Ye Chenfeng withstood another wave, but a new wave of arrow attacks arrived.
"Spending such a great effort just at the burial chamber door?"
Ye Chenfeng was startled.
These three waves of attacks alone had over three thousand arrows, with undeniably more fourth and fifth waves to come.
Such efforts clearly indicated something significant within the Ghost Gu Sect’s grand tomb.
Ye Chenfeng wasn’t afraid of these arrows, just found them too bothersome.
After blocking the third wave of arrows, the fourth wave arrived immediately. It left no room for breath.
Ye Chenfeng’s eyes glowed sharply, and he launched a few formidable punches.
"Boom!"
Terrifying power pulverized countless arrows to dust, pummeling the space once more.
Qie Gewala was shaken, having never seen such tyrannical behavior in his tomb-raiding life. Others schemed to solve mechanisms.
But Ye Chenfeng tackled mechanisms with brute force, succeeding despite them being helpless against him.
As if echoing a saying: If tomb-raiding can’t be solved with one punch, then use two.
"Break!"
Ye Chenfeng ignored the explosive waves, instantly teleporting to the giant door of the burial chamber.
He intended to punch it open, sensing the endless arrows wouldn’t cease otherwise.
"Hold on, Young Master Zhao! This is just a decoy subsidiary chamber. The real chamber lies in that ceiling eye!"
Qie Gewala’s voice stopped Ye Chenfeng’s actions.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
The fifth wave of arrows tracked Ye Chenfeng like missiles.
Ye Chenfeng retreated into the air, projecting streams of airflow that forcibly altered the arrows’ trajectories.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Arrows whizzed through the air, piercing the central groove of the ceiling.
"Bang!"
The arrows exploded mightily, blowing the groove open to reveal a passage just wide enough for one person.
Ye Chenfeng and Qie Gewala lingered no longer, promptly using their skills to move to the ceiling’s position.
Ye Chenfeng took the lead, directly passing through the ceiling eye, entering the main chamber.
In the main chamber, their view instantly broadened.
The main chamber was vast, barely visible to its end.
"Hmm? Could it be these?"
Upon arrival, disbelief filled Ye Chenfeng’s and Qie Gewala’s eyes.
The scene before them was indeed overturning.
