Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1251: Chapter 1250: Second Layer of the Tomb

After a murmur, General Bai suddenly used the hook scythe in his hand to forcibly slash open a rift in the ground, then leaped into it, disappearing from sight.

Within the depths of the thousand-foot staircase.

At the moment of charging into the dark clouds, Ling Chen could clearly feel a powerful spatial fluctuation emanating, the cold cloud layers filled his vision. After a while, as he gradually adapted, Ling Chen slowly opened his eyes.

As he opened his eyes, the scene before them was immediately captured within, and for a brief moment, his gaze was filled with a look of distraction.

Appearing before Ling Chen’s eyes was an extremely vast land, the entire land presented a gray and worn color, an aura of ruin wafted through the earth and sky, the mixed sense of timelessness and antiquity made it clear that this land had long lost its vitality.

His gaze peered further into the distance, where the area was already shrouded by heavy leaden clouds, blocking his line of sight.

”So this is the second layer of the Emperor’s Tomb?”

The light in Ling Chen’s eyes slightly focused. The terracotta army that had been guarding should have been the first layer of the Emperor’s Tomb, yet there was almost nothing in the first layer. It was unknown whether any treasures existed in this second layer.

The area of the second layer of the tomb was much larger compared to the first. The powerful individuals who entered this place were swiftly advancing toward the depths of the second layer of the tomb.

Taking advantage of the extraordinary means of the major super sects earlier, in a brief time, there were already over a hundred powerful figures that had entered this second layer, spreading out to explore immediately upon entry.

Ling Chen and the people from Lingyue Island, after flying for about half an hour, looked up to see the terrain ahead had changed distinctly, the once endless flatland had become rugged, with black soil as sharp as knives. The area that appeared was a cliff, overlooking from a high position forward, one could see a continuous expanse of ancient forest covered by thick clouds, lifeless rivers like ropes crisscrossing the land with countless tributaries.

”What a bizarre place.”

Ling Chen took a deep breath, he could feel that this place was fraught with dangers, far from the peaceful surface it seemed to be.

First the Undying Tree, then the terracotta army, and ”Slaughtering God” General Bai, the danger within the Emperor’s Tomb was far beyond imagination, who knew what terrifying existence lay hidden further within.

”No matter how strange it is, we need to push through.”

The Spiritual Heart Saint said calmly.

Ah!

Upon her words, a scream suddenly echoed from the nearby ancient forest, and immediately, several figures burst out from the trees, like startled birds.

The trees in the ancient forest were very tall, each tree standing dozens of meters high, so the figures quickly appeared before the people of Lingyue Island as they emerged from the forest.

Ling Chen could clearly see a look of extreme horror on their faces, as if they had seen something tremendously terrifying.

”What happened to these people? In such a panic!”

The Spiritual Heart Saint raised her eyebrows, and it was apparent from these individuals that a profound sense of fear could be felt.

Whizz whizz whizz whizz!

Before anyone could respond, several vines suddenly shot out from the dense forest, binding those who had fled and dragging them back into the ancient forest.

Ah!

The screams echoed, and in the next moment, the ominous chewing sounds could be heard coming from the dense forest.

Ling Yin looked toward the forest, her dark eyes scanning casually as she spoke: ”It’s the Ancient Man-eating Flowers, and there are quite a number of them. It’s uncertain if there’s a King of Man-eating Flowers among them.”

Hearing this, Shen Bingxin looked at Ling Yin with some surprise. The ancient forest was shrouded in a layer of eerie clouds, so even she could not clearly see the reality inside, yet this little girl Ling Yin could perceive it.

Truly worthy of being a peerless genius from the Heavenly Eye Clan.

”The Ancient Man-eating Flowers are extremely dangerous, and it’s best to avoid them; otherwise, with so many of us, it’s hard to ensure we all come out unscathed.”

The Spiritual Heart Saint said with a solemn expression.

”With Xiao Yin here, there’s no need to worry too much. It’s just necessary to accurately avoid the areas where the Ancient Man-eating Flowers are located.” Ling Chen said.

”Oh, can that really be achieved?”

Shen Bingxin’s eyes lit up, looking at Ling Yin.

Ling Yin nodded slightly, ”There shouldn’t be a major problem.”

”Then please, little girl Ling.”

Shen Bingxin nodded, having the Heavenly Eyes to guide them undoubtedly made this journey much easier.

”There are Man-eating Flowers over there.”

”There’s a powerful Exotic Beast on the left side ahead, let’s go to the right.”

”There’s a hidden swamp directly ahead, we can’t step on the ground, so we’ll have to fly low over it.”

Under Ling Yin’s guidance, the team from Lingyue Island, as if holding a lightning rod, perfectly avoided all the minefields and dangers.

With this kind of progression, after over two hours, the group from Lingyue Island finally succeeded in passing through the ancient forest.

At this time, not far away, the team from Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao had also passed through the ancient forest, but they appeared a bit disheveled, clearly having experienced numerous battles within the forest.

In comparison, the Lingyue Island side was evidently much more relaxed, essentially unscathed.

”How is it possible, they also just came out of this ancient forest, how could they be unscathed.”

Elder Len was surprised; logically speaking, the team from Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao was naturally stronger than that of Lingyue Island, and even they had gone through quite an ordeal before successfully exiting the ancient forest. It stood to reason that the Lingyue Island team should have suffered greater losses, so how could they have been so relaxed?

Could it be that the other side had a map of the interior of the Emperor’s Tomb?

She couldn’t have guessed that Ling Chen and the others didn’t have a map, but with Ling Yin there, she could directly rule out dangerous routes, which was even more convenient than having a map.

”There has never been a map of the Emperor’s Tomb rumored, moreover, Lingyue Island is located in Yangzhou, thousands of miles away from Qinling, how could they have a map.”

An elder of Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao shook his head.

”It seems the team from Lingyue Island is not simple.”

Elder Len secretly raised her estimation of the Lingyue Island team, perhaps they held some powerful trump card.

”Let’s go!”

Not focusing on the people of Lingyue Island for too long, Elder Len led the team from Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao to race towards the area covered by dark clouds ahead. For them, finding the treasure within the Emperor’s Tomb was the most important thing.

Ling Chen and the others, too, did not linger long before immediately following into the layers of thick clouds.
