Upon hearing this, everyone released their brilliant spiritual power, forming a light barrier of spiritual power around their bodies to prepare for the upcoming resistance against the encroachment of the destructive force.
For over fifty thousand years, the number of disciples from the Huangfu Sacred Sect who died in the abyss of the buried gods has exceeded seven million.
Under that destructive power, the spiritual power within a cultivator's body would be gradually devoured. To counter it, one could only resist with spiritual power.
Wearing magic treasure armor was useless, because that destructive force could penetrate the armor and inflict fatal damage on cultivators!
Thus, everyone used a spiritual power light barrier to protect themselves.
At the same time, it puzzled everyone that this destructive force only targeted human cultivators, while demon beasts were unaffected.
At this moment, Mu Mengyi saw that Tan Yun had not released a protective spiritual power barrier and said anxiously, "Tan Yun, why are you not using a spiritual power light barrier to protect yourself?"
Tan Yun glanced at Mu Mengyi and said softly, "I don't need it for now. I want to enter the entrance and feel what that power really is."
"Well, just be extra careful."
"Don't worry, I will." After replying, Tan Yun maneuvered the Spirit Vessel, slowly weaving through the black mist toward the entrance three hundred miles away.
A moment later, when the Spirit Vessel was less than a thousand feet from the entrance, Tan Yun's pupils constricted, and through the black mist, he faintly saw the abyss narrowing.
At the end of his line of sight stood two towering mountains, resembling a narrow sky.
The black mist thickened halfway up the mountains, like dark waves surging above the abyss, appearing extremely terrifying, as if unknown ferocious beasts were lurking within!
This was indeed the legendary true entrance. Once one passed through the gap between the two mountains shrouded in black mist, they would perceive that destructive power!
As the Spirit Vessel drew closer to the entrance, everyone's hearts began to race!
Three breaths later, Tan Yun piloted the Spirit Vessel, starting to weave between the two mountains. At this moment, everyone realized that the ghostly howls they had heard outside the abyss of the buried gods had originated from here!
The two mountains loomed like colossal beasts crawling within the abyss, opening their massive mouths to unleash ear-piercing howls while expelling endless rolling black mist!
"Ah!"
As the Spirit Vessel navigated between the peaks, several female disciples from the Danmai let out horrified screams, startling everyone.
One of the female disciples, her face pale, pointed at a mountain hundreds of feet to the left, trembling, "Look, there are tens of thousands of eyes staring at us!"
Following the direction the woman pointed, everyone felt a chill run down their spines!
Amidst the swaying black mist, they saw pairs of dim green eyes, each the size of a fist, staring at them!
Tan Yun turned and looked at everyone, quickly advising, "Everyone, those are the spirit-shadow green cats in the second stage of the tribulation phase."
"They are the size of tigers but are inherently timid. As long as we do not attack them, they will definitely not take the initiative to attack."
"However, if we attack them, they will fight back fiercely, so everyone should remain quiet and not stare at them. If you disturb them, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Upon hearing this, everyone admired Tan Yun's vast knowledge and immediately fell silent, no longer staring at the creatures.
At this moment, Mu Mengyi's beautiful eyes narrowed as she gazed at the bones scattered on the ground below, saying softly, "Tan Yun, many people have died here."
Tan Yun glanced at the incomplete corpses and said, "These disciples must have been killed by the spirit-shadow green cats."
After Tan Yun spoke, he guided the Spirit Vessel through the entrance. Suddenly, the view before them became clear as the black mist thinned by several times!
