Martial Master

Hiss! Upon seeing this scene, the other martial artists were utterly shocked, gasping in disbelief.

How incredibly hard must this place be, to cause a Martial Emperor-level expert to fall and die here? It was simply unheard of. Moreover, what happened to the treasure hall they saw outside? What about the countless Holy Crystals? Why was there nothing left?

In this world, there was only the pitch-black ground and the desolate, boundless wilderness, giving a sense of foreboding.

At this moment, everyone started to feel afraid. "This place... doesn't seem like it has any Holy Crystals, does it?"

"Where exactly is this place?"

"Could it be some ancient secret realm?"

"Or is it that the news spreading in Thunder City is a trap intentionally disseminated by some power?" Some people, randomly teleported together, instantly exchanged glances and unconsciously huddled together. This place gave them an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

"Don't think too much. Perhaps the Holy Crystals are deep within this world. Think about it, if there really were Holy Crystals here, and they could be found easily, the top powers of Thunder City would have arrived here much earlier than us. Would there still be any treasures left for us?"

"That's true. Hehe, even if this is an uncharted secret realm filled with dangers, so what? With so many of us, do you think we all will fall here?"

"Hahaha, I actually hope this is a brand new dangerous secret realm. After all, pioneering a secret realm is the most rewarding." As soon as the words "pioneering" were mentioned, it ignited the excitement of the crowd, their hearts racing.

The history of Tianwu Continent is too long, especially in the Martial Domain, where ancient remnants of treasure lands and secret realms frequently appear.

These secret realms vary in strength, but there’s no doubt that when a brand new secret realm emerges, the first batch of explorers often reaps the greatest rewards, and these people are known as pioneers.

News often circulates in Tianwu Continent that someone has entered a previously undiscovered secret realm and returned with significant gains. When they emerged, they had already become renowned experts across the continent.

Such adventurous experiences naturally evoke envy and admiration from countless others. Now, they also had such an opportunity—how could they not be ecstatic?

"Since we can't leave anyway, and we don't even know where the exit is, why not join forces and work together here, each using our own abilities to seize treasures, how about it?"

A powerful individual spoke with a smile.

This immediately garnered the approval of those around them.

However, before the agreement could fully settle, "Ah!" Suddenly, a scream pierced through the air. They saw a previously excited martial artist, for some unknown reason, suddenly go mad, his eyes vacant, as he brandished his weapon and began attacking the others around him.

"Wei Yong, what are you doing?" Someone recognized that powerful individual and shouted angrily.

Yet that Wei Yong seemed to be oblivious, continuing his frenzied assault.

The expressions of the others darkened as they raised their weapons, ready to join forces to subdue Wei Yong. But suddenly, several others also became vacant-eyed and began to furiously attack their companions.

Everyone was stunned, their hearts filled with rage and confusion. What on earth was happening?

They shouted loudly, trying to bring the crazed individuals back to their senses, but instead of waking up, more and more people fell into madness as time passed.

"There are demons here, there are demons!"

"Run!"

In their panic, others felt chills run down their spines, a coldness surging to their heads, their hairs standing on end, their minds trembling as they fled in all directions.

But as they ran, their gazes gradually became disoriented, before they too fell into madness, unwittingly swinging their weapons and attacking wildly.

It wasn’t just here. In other areas of the Ancient Demon Land, any martial artist from Thunder City who had entered was similarly driven to madness, with only a few powerful individuals possessing special flames managing to escape in time.
