Chapter 1484: Chapter 1484

"These people are truly insane," Lin Yushi remarked as she observed the scene in the distance.

At the entrance to the passageway, although negotiations were initially underway, negotiations are after all just a superficial means of resolving issues. Once some people entered, those behind started to grow anxious.

There’s only one chance, and only one person can reap the benefits. Whoever enters first has a greater possibility of gaining them.

Then, people began to cut in line. After all, these individuals hail from different worlds and have developed a habit of distrusting anyone in this world. A single spark set off the entire powder keg.

Next, someone made a move, and then there was no stopping it. In just a brief moment, countless lives were lost at that spot.

However, they were clever enough to have sent those from Earth in advance. Otherwise, facing a matter of life and death, if Earth’s Professionals could directly break through to tier seven, they would truly be in danger.

As for the inside of the Divine Tomb, they didn’t believe that Earth’s Professionals would dare cause trouble. Even the suppressive forces inside would likely make it impossible for anyone to breakthrough to tier seven.

Amidst the chaotic battle, with death occurring now and then, even though suppressed by the distance and the ocean’s power, Du You could still feel intense fluctuations—he found it quite thrilling indeed.

"If our situation weren’t so special, we might have ended up just like them," Lin Yucha also said.

Du You waved his hand dismissively: "Let’s not worry too much about that; let’s focus on collecting the items here first. The Law Crystals here should be enough for us to make further progress after we return." They nearly had enough by now.

Of course, Du You collected every kind of Law Crystal, so in addition to the ones needed for the three of them, there were many they had no use for. What they couldn’t use, however, could still be useful to others.

Collecting more, of all types, would ensure that Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao wouldn’t need to venture to this place and risk their lives in the future.

Time flew swiftly. Du You and his group had been fighting above the Forbidden Sea for three days. In that time, they had nearly filled Du You’s personal space with various Law Crystals.

At this moment, many of those who had been above the Forbidden Sea had already retreated. The greedier ones had entered the passageway, and their current status was unknown.

The number of Magical Beasts in the Forbidden Sea hadn’t decreased but had rather increased as time went on, likely because Magical Beasts from afar were drawn here. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽

But these Magical Beasts posed no threat to Du You. Having adapted to their tactics, Du You found dealing with them effortlessly without being hindered.

Suddenly, the Ocean Whirlpool began to tremble violently, and columns of red light burst forth from beneath.

Du You turned his head to look, squinting his eyes. "Heh, it looks like they’re about to come out, unless something major has happened inside. Anyway, we’ve collected almost enough; let’s hide for now."

With that, Lin Yucha used Platform Floating Cloud to envelop them, and then a cloaking cape made them invisible.

The tremors at the center of the Forbidden Sea grew stronger and stronger. After an indeterminate amount of time, the massive whirlpool suddenly exploded.

An enervated figure suddenly appeared in the sky, like a new sun, its immense heat spreading and intensifying. Even the Magical Beasts in the Forbidden Sea, sensing this light, quickly hid beneath the water.

Countless figures emerged from the explosion site, looking utterly disheveled.

"Who succeeded in the end?" contemplated the remaining onlookers above the Forbidden Sea, their faces filled with envy.

"Hahahaha, I would really thank you if there wasn’t such a rush for time. Such a pity," the red figure said before transforming into a streak of light and vanishing. This world was originally at least tier seven, but after the Divine War, it had become a broken tier seven world.

In this world, it was possible to reach tier seven, but once one did, they would be sent away. As for which world one would be sent to, that was unknown—it wouldn’t necessarily be their original world.

In the sky, several members of the Yinying Council suddenly appeared before Du You.

"Why are you here alone?" they asked with furrowed brows, looking worse for wear.

"We split up. With our strength, we can collect more Law Crystals separately; there’s no need to stick together. By the way, did none of you succeed? Then who was the successful one?"

A gleam flashed in their eyes as they responded, "No, it was a trap. You were fortunate not to have gone."

Seeing the Magical Beasts no longer emerge and not daring to venture into the Forbidden Sea to hunt, they could consider themselves without gains. Thinking of Du You’s haul, many regarded him with a mix of envy and jealousy.

"A trap? What happened? Who set it up? That was indeed tier seven, right?"

"Yes, it was tier seven, but it wasn’t set up by someone who came to this world. It was from someone who remained from the ancient Divine War. Unexpectedly, there was a surviving Divine Spirit from that time that wasn’t discovered. We were careless."

Through explanations from the group, Du You finally understood their meaning. It turned out that during the Divine War, a Divine Spirit with a Fire attribute was severely injured, and its foe, unable to kill it, sealed it here instead.

Perhaps the intention was to invite others from various divine factions to deal with it after the Divine War. However, that Divine Spirit likely perished during the Divine War, and with the message never relayed, it went undetected.

At that time, everyone was searching for the remains of deceased Divine Spirits; who could have expected one to be alive?

Thus, over endless years in this place, this being gradually recovered, even though the seal couldn’t be broken. Fortunately, the seal had some flaws, the results of the damage from the ancient Divine War.

Without these fissures, recovery would have been impossible. Nevertheless, destroying the seal was not so simple.

Recently, this Divine Spirit intentionally released its aura, creating the illusion of a Divine Tomb here, attracting a horde of people to this location to slaughter each other for the chance to acquire divine power, their lives becoming sacrifices to break the seal. Each one was a peak of tier six, and the value of such sacrifices was immensely high.

Just recently, the required number of sacrifices was reached, the seal was broken, and the Divine Spirit escaped.

The Yinying Council also suffered heavy losses this time, and had they not fled swiftly, none would have remained. Perhaps others were unaware, but they were acutely conscious of more than half their number being lost.
