Chapter 532 Chapter 527 Unknown Black Boundary

Outside the Skeleton Mountain Range, people from all sides were still talking loudly and noisily. The scene was like a pot of boiling water, extremely lively and bustling.

"I don't know when this relic can be opened soon. If we can really get one or two high-level martial arts skills, then we might be able to do whatever we want in the future." A disciple from a small force said with longing on his face, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

“Hmph, don’t think too highly of yourself. There are so many forces watching here. You’ll be lucky if you can keep your life.” An older Douhuang expert nearby curled his lips and poured a basin of cold water on him.

"Never mind, let's try our luck. Maybe we'll be lucky and others won't be able to snatch it from us." Someone else responded, their words full of unwillingness to be outdone.

As everyone was talking about this, the sky, which was bright at first, suddenly darkened without warning. Everyone was stunned at first, subconsciously stopped talking, and looked up at the sky.

I saw a layer of ink-black barrier, like a huge black silk, slowly spreading down from the sky. The speed of its spread was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it had covered the entire mountain range within a radius of 100 miles.

In an instant, the originally noisy mountains seemed to have pressed the mute button and became much quieter. Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of astonishment and confusion.

"This...what's going on? How did this thing suddenly appear?" Someone couldn't help but shout loudly, with a hint of panic in his voice.

"Is this a sign that the ruins are about to be opened? But I've never heard of such a barrier appearing when it's opened."

A leader of a faction with Dou Zong cultivation level frowned and muttered to himself, staring intently at the black barrier that exuded a mysterious aura, trying to find some clues from it.

"Never mind. There might be countless treasures waiting for us behind this barrier. What's there to be afraid of? Besides, those big forces have sent strong men here. With them leading the charge, even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up first."

There were some brave people who said these words in a defiant manner, but in fact they were already nervous inside, and their bodies honestly betrayed them.

Their legs were shaking slightly uncontrollably, revealing their nervousness at the moment.

At the same time, the people from the leading Sky Demon Phoenix Clan and several other top forces including the Nine Netherworld Python Clan were so experienced that they immediately keenly noticed the unusual weirdness of the black barrier.

The head elder of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan looked stern and shouted, "All of you, be alert! This barrier is weird, there might be some threat. Don't take it lightly, be alert!"

His shout was as loud as a huge bell, spreading in this slightly depressing atmosphere, and everyone's expressions suddenly tensed.

Some people who were originally careless and calm no longer dared to be careless. They tightened their weapons in their hands, or secretly mobilized the fighting spirit in their bodies, and looked around vigilantly, ready to deal with any abnormal situations that might arise.

"Elder Feng Tian, ​​you are the most advanced cultivator among those present. Can you tell anything from this black barrier that suddenly appeared?"

The elder from the Nine Netherworld Python Clan immediately asked in the direction of Feng Tian, ​​his eyes full of eagerness and expectation, hoping that Feng Tian could give some useful clues.

Elder Feng Tian's face was solemn, his eyes were fixed on the black barrier that was spreading and covering the whole place. After a moment, he slowly spoke:

"According to what I sensed, these black barriers seem to have a devouring force, and that devouring force is constantly increasing. Feel it carefully, the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth seems to be slowly being absorbed by it. If this continues, the energy around it will be drained away sooner or later."

At this point, Elder Feng Tian's brows furrowed even more tightly, and the deep wrinkles seemed to be filled with worry. He then said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, this is most likely a trick set by the Dou Sheng strongman who left this ancient relic. Now that the ancient relic is about to appear in the world, it must have triggered some restriction, causing this barrier to be activated."

After hearing this explanation, the faces of the people around turned ugly in an instant. The expressions that originally contained some expectation and excitement had long disappeared, and were replaced by full of worry and panic.

They came here from afar and through many twists and turns. They came here for the treasures in the ruins. They were all thinking about getting some rare items from them so that they or the forces they belonged could be strengthened to a higher level.

But now, they haven't even seen the shadow of the baby yet, but have encountered such a disastrous situation. How can they feel at ease?
Elder Feng Tian then raised his hand and pointed at the black barrier that was still spreading and expanding, his face full of solemnity, and then said:

"If we allow it to continue to expand like this, it will definitely cause huge trouble. The devouring power contained in this barrier is extremely overbearing. I'm afraid that all of us present will be affected by it. If that happens, let alone snatching the many treasures in the ruins, even whether we can save our own lives will be a big question mark."

"Then... then what should we do now, Elder Feng Tian, ​​please make a decision quickly!"

The patriarch of a clan affiliated with the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan shouted anxiously, his voice trembling with an uncontrollable tremor, and he looked straight at Elder Feng Tian.

Elder Feng Tian's eyes flashed with hesitation, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Now we can only try to attack this barrier together to see if we can break it or stop it from expanding. We can't just sit there and wait for death. All forces, listen to my order, select some elite forces and prepare to attack together. We must curb the momentum of this barrier as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, all the major forces were worried, but they all knew that there was no better way at the moment, so they began to summon their elite troops and prepared to attack the black barrier together as Elder Feng Tian had said, hoping to break this strange and dangerous barrier and escape this disaster.

In an instant, all forces in the Skeleton Mountain Range took action. For a moment, colorful and gorgeous fighting spirit attacks shot towards the black barrier like dense raindrops. The scene was spectacular.

On the Nine Netherworld Python Clan's side, under the leadership of the leading elder, several powerful clansmen quickly took their positions and shouted at the same time: "Nine Netherworld Python Spirit Formation!"

In an instant, the energy around them surged wildly and gathered together, and the ground beneath their feet began to tremble faintly. A faint light suddenly appeared between the crowd, and then a huge snake-shaped energy roared out. The snake was nearly a hundred feet long, covered with scales emitting a cold luster, and a pair of eyes were like two balls of deep dark fire, revealing coldness and cruelty.

It twisted its huge body, carrying tremendous power, and rushed straight towards the black barrier. Wherever it passed, it seemed that even the air was twisted.

On the other side, under the command of Elder Feng Tian, ​​the members of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan who came this time quickly gathered around him, each finding their own position, and soon formed a formation that exuded a mysterious aura.

After the preparations were completed, Elder Feng Tian focused his eyes and shouted loudly: "Heavenly Phoenix Flame Array, rise!"

As the words fell, the expressions of the members of the Sky Demon Phoenix clan changed, and they all mobilized the blood power in their bodies. In an instant, a bright light flickered faintly around them. That was the power surging from the noble blood of the Sky Demon Phoenix clan.

Then, everyone released all their fighting spirit continuously, like small trickles gathering into a mighty river, and poured it all into the formation.

With the attraction of blood force and the infusion of fighting spirit, the light in the formation became brighter and a lifelike celestial phoenix slowly emerged.

The feathers of the Sky Phoenix seemed to be made of flames, dazzling red. When its wings were spread, they were nearly a hundred feet long, covering the sky and the sun, instantly obscuring most of the sky above. It cried out to the sky, the clear and loud sound seemed to penetrate the clouds, and then it flapped its wings and rushed towards the black barrier. The hot aura wrapped around its body made the temperature around it rise sharply.

As the figures of the snake and the phoenix gradually solidified, as they leaped up and swooped down towards the black barrier, their figures began to intertwine and circling with each other in mid-air.

The snake's body was winding and nimble, and every twist seemed to carry the power to crush mountains and rivers. Its scales flashed with a cold light, and its mouth opened wide, as if it wanted to swallow all obstacles into its belly. The demon phoenix spread its wings and soared in the sky, with flames burning all around it. The air was burned and distorted wherever it passed.

The two of them attacked the black barrier with great rage, carrying the aura of destroying the world.

In an instant, there was a deafening sound, as if the sky was shaken by this force. A dazzling light burst out from the place where the attack collided with the barrier, and the light swept around madly like a surging wave.

The surrounding space shattered under the aftermath of this attack, and spider-web-like space cracks quickly spread. The sound of "crackling" was endless, as if this world could not withstand such a powerful force and was about to fall apart.

The scene was truly spectacular. Everyone was shocked by the shocking scene and their eyes widened. Many people stepped back unconsciously, their faces full of astonishment and fear. They were secretly wondering how powerful this powerful joint attack would be? Could it defeat the means left by the Dou Sheng?

However, under the gaze of everyone present, they saw that these two attacks, which condensed the strongest attacks of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan and the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan, although were so powerful that they seemed to tear the heaven and earth apart, did not seem to have much effect in the end.

The black barrier, which had seemed a little illusory at first, became more solid at this moment, as if it had transformed from misty smoke into hard rock.

At the place where the phoenix and the snake attacked together, the black barrier quickly twisted and rotated like a stirred whirlpool, and then a circle of black holes was formed at the center of the impact. The black hole was like a big mouth that chose its prey, and it emitted an extremely strong devouring force.

The snake and the phoenix, which had been so majestic and carrying the power to destroy the world just now, were now swept away by this powerful devouring force. They were completely unable to break free, like two fragile leaves, being ruthlessly sucked into it.

The originally powerful energy around them began to gradually dissipate under this powerful devouring force, and the light became dimmer and dimmer.

As these energies were swallowed up by the black hole bit by bit, the barrier above the sky became thicker without anyone noticing. The aura that already exuded mystery and danger became even stronger, like an invisible mountain, weighing heavily on everyone's hearts, making everyone present feel despair.

Within the Skeleton Mountain Range, there were countless figures in various postures. Some stood in the void, some spread their fighting spirit wings and floated steadily in the air, and others stood somewhere on the mountain range with solemn expressions.

However, at this moment everyone's actions were surprisingly consistent. They all stopped the actions that were originally intended to attack or accumulate strength, and just looked at the inky black curtain above the sky with confused eyes.

At this moment, it has only been nearly half an hour since the black curtain was first noticed, but in this short period of time, it has completely covered the area like a huge black net.

The originally bright sunshine was completely blocked out, and the surroundings fell into darkness. Not even a trace of sunlight could penetrate, and the whole world seemed to be dragged into eternal night.

Looking at the black barrier hanging above the sky, which exuded a mysterious and dangerous aura, everyone present couldn't help but feel a sense of panic.

The panic spread wildly in people's hearts. Many people had beads of sweat on their foreheads and their hands were shaking slightly unconsciously.

Even the most powerful tribes present, the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan and the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan, tried their best to launch such powerful attacks, but they were unable to break the black barrier. So what could those people from other forces do?

Everyone knew very well that, with the momentum of the black barrier's expansion, by the time it completely covered everything here, everything would be swallowed up, and everyone would be shrouded in endless darkness and unknown dangers.

"Fortunately, the energy from the previous ordinary attacks was completely devoured, which just replenished some energy. Otherwise, considering the power of the combined attack of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan and the Nine Nether Earth Nether Python Clan, it might not be so easy to resist."

Outside the barrier, Xiao Ling's figure was hidden under a black robe, floating quietly in the air, his eyes looking towards the inky black barrier below, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, muttering to himself.

"However, now that the preparations have been completed, the next step is the real hunting moment..." (End of this chapter)
