Chapter 1500: Chapter 1491: The Elusive Ruins
n die for wealth, birds die for food.
The cultivators gathered in this vast crowd had only the treasure within the relic on their minds.
However, the two hundred or so cultivators charging at the forefront were the first ones enveloped by the cyan gas billowing out of the cave. With each one of these two hundred cultivators falling dead, the scene beca increasingly chaotic, and those initially attempting to rush forward began retreating.
Luckily, this cyan gas extended only thirty ters beyond the cave and then stopped, allowing the retreating cultivators to gradually calm down as they beheld the dense corpses within the cyan gas. The shirts on their backs were soaked with sweat.
This sudden ergence of cyan gas from the cave served as a wake-up call for the cultivators present. If they lost their lives, what good was treasure?
Ye Chenfeng and Bai Xiaorou, standing at a considerable distance, were unhard by the cyan gas.
In the sky, Wu Qingshan and Zuo Deyuan observed the corpses within the cyan gas below. Over ti, those two hundred corpses decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye, darkening their expressions.
Wu Qingshan and Zuo Deyuan had never encountered such a situation before! Previously, the highly toxic cyan gas would never pour out of the cave. Moreover, the cyan gas Wu Qingshan and Zuo Deyuan faced in the cave was far thinner. This ant the cyan gas currently emanating from the cave was far more toxic.
In previous relic awakenings, Wu Qingshan and Zuo Deyuan went inside with a Detox Pearl in their mouths, but even its protection only allowed them to stay for about ten minutes within the relic.
After ten minutes, even the Detox Pearl would lose its effectiveness, which is why Wu Qingshan and his people still hadn’t unraveled the mysteries of this relic after all these years.
Song Haiyun, also floating in the sky, sensed the cyan gas below and was nearly certain that if he inhaled it unguarded, he too would suffer from the toxicity.
The cave entrance was now engulfed in cyan gas, making entry into the relic impossible. Song Haiyun coldly asked, “Wu Qingshan, Zuo Deyuan, do either of you have a way to enter the relic?”
“Hmph!”
Wu Qingshan and Zuo Deyuan snorted coldly from their noses, completely ignoring Song Haiyun’s inquiry, causing murderous intent to surge in Song Haiyun’s eyes.
Below, nurous cultivators were growing impatient. If the cyan gas never dissipated, wouldn’t that an they’d never be able to enter the relic?
Standing at the outermost edge of the crowd, Ye Chenfeng stared intently at the cave entrance. A faint force seed to beckon him into the cyan gas, making him shake his head hard and internally ask, “Old White, Old Black, do you sense anything unusual?”
Jiang Yuntian, the Black Shadow Person, laughed, “Kid, you finally decided to ask us? We’ve felt sothing amiss for a while now. Could it be you’re sensing a force calling you? I can tell you certainly, your feeling is spot on.”
“However, based on mine and Old White’s perception, this force calling you should hold no malice towards you, and you’re the only one present having this odd sensation.”
Wu Fengxian, the White Shadow Person, also chid in, “Young one, greater opportunities co with greater dangers. Since this force is calling you, why not yield to it? Why not venture into the cyan gas first and see?”
“Divine Blood can neutralize all poisons and makes one immune to poison, too. Although the Divine Blood within you is still sparse, resisting the toxins here is certainly manageable. As long as you activate the Divine Blood Art and enter the cyan gas, you definitely won’t be corroded by its toxic nature.”
After hearing the advice of the Black Shadow Person and White Shadow Person, Ye Chenfeng glanced at Bai Xiaorou and Zuo Feibai beside him, saying, “Xiaorou, don’t follow later. I want to enter the cyan gas, but I promise nothing will happen to . If you all follow into the cyan gas, you’ll definitely be poisoned.”
After finishing.
Ye Chenfeng unhesitatingly pushed forward, as Bai Xiaorou and Zuo Feibai hesitated. Yet, given Ye Chenfeng’s decisive words, they found it impossible to stop him.
Bai Xiaorou bit her lip and said, “I want to ensure Brother Ye’s safety. If anything happens to him, I’ll rescue him from the cyan gas imdiately.”
With Bai Xiaorou pushing forward, Zuo Feibai and Wu Lifen quickly followed suit.
The cultivators present had witnessed the grave consequences of the cyan gas. The two hundred corpses enveloped in cyan gas had now completely eroded, leaving no trace whatsoever. Thus, the closer to the cyan gas, the fewer cultivators there were.
As Ye Chenfeng relentlessly pushed ahead, the surrounding cultivators began to curse in dissatisfaction.
“What is a re Divine Thought Realm kid doing pushing forward? Does he think he can make it into the relic?”
“Kid, if you want to live, obediently step back! You won’t last a second in the cyan gas.”
“Is this kid seriously thinking of entering the cyan gas?”
…
In the sky, Wu Qingshan, Zuo Deyuan, and Song Haiyun also spotted Ye Chenfeng below.
Wu Qingshan frowned, asking, “What’s Brother Ye planning to do?”
However, just as Wu Qingshan spoke, Ye Chenfeng impulsively charged into the cyan gas, changing Zuo Deyuan’s expression drastically: “This, isn’t this reckless? What’s Brother doing running into such gas?”
Beside him, Song Haiyun, the Supre Elder of the Hall of Sea Gods, finally displayed a pleased expression, coldly laughing, “Wu Qingshan, Zuo Deyuan, haven’t you always wanted to protect this lad? Now it seems the lad has a screw loose, choosing suicide.”
In his view, Ye Chenfeng, having entered the cyan gas, was certainly dood. The cyan gas was potent enough that even a Nirvana Realm expert like him couldn’t withstand it.
Wu Qingshan and Zuo Deyuan could no longer bother with Song Haiyun. Instantly appearing at the surface, they stood at the cyan gas’s edge, observing Ye Chenfeng within it, planning to risk it all to rescue Ye Chenfeng.
Bai Xiaorou also reached Wu Qingshan and Zuo Deyuan’s side, with a simple indifferent comnt: “Brother Ye said he’ll be fine.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Qingshan and Zuo Deyuan still didn’t relax their furrowed brows. While aware Ye Chenfeng’s Divine Blood could neutralize the toxins, it didn’t guarantee resistance to the poison itself!
As the cultivators saw Ye Chenfeng truly venture into the cyan gas, they gloated one by one.
“Is this kid really courting death? Does he think with his Divine Thought Realm prowess, he can traverse the cyan gas? What a reckless fool.”
“Since waiting here is dull, I’m curious to see how he dies.”
…
anwhile, in the cyan gas, the two Spiritual Qi Rivers within Ye Chenfeng’s ridians quickly circulated, with the one from the Divine Blood Art rapidly activating. Flecks of gold shimred in his blood.
The toxic cyan gas he inhaled was imdiately purified by the Divine Blood within him, preventing the poison from consuming his body.
A minute passed!
Ye Chenfeng didn’t die!
Two minutes passed!
Ye Chenfeng remained alive!
Three minutes passed!
Ye Chenfeng was still casually strolling within the cyan gas.
Suddenly, an inexplicable voice echoed in Ye Chenfeng’s mind: “You are the one we’ve been waiting for, we’ve waited for you for such a long ti.”
Outside the cyan gas, the cultivators who saw Ye Chenfeng strolling leisurely inside were already dumbstruck.
In the sky, the cold sneer vanished from Song Haiyun’s face, replaced by spreading anger, his assumption that Ye Chenfeng had foolishly chosen death proving wrong as Ye Chenfeng remained unhard.
Moreover, Ye Chenfeng resisted a toxin even unbeaten by a Nirvana Realm expert like him, prompting Song Haiyun to mutter, “This boy must have so secret.”
