The area was filled with a yellowish light, resembling the Loess Plateau. However, on the ground, unique demonic energy patterns surged, with black runes flickering, creating an eerie atmosphere.

"Let's go."

As they stepped in, a hum resonated, and instantly, everyone felt a heavy weight on their bodies. Except for Qin Chen and Ao Lie, the other participants almost fell to the ground.

"Gravitational field?"

Everyone was astonished.

Here, a heavy force enveloped each person, making movement difficult.

"Everyone, channel your power and join forces; we can resist the gravity and venture deeper."

Jue Ming reminded them.

Everyone began to channel their power, and indeed, they felt much lighter. Moreover, when everyone's strength combined, it created a larger spatial rule, enhancing their resistance to gravity.

No wonder Jue Ming waited for everyone in the main hall instead of entering alone. Relying solely on him and the Soul Fire Clan, they could not penetrate deep into this gravitational area.

Even joining forces with the three other major cities might not suffice; they must involve Cang Xuan City—each was indispensable.

Everyone exerted themselves to move forward, continuously operating the rules, while the Holy Source in their bodies was being consumed.

But there was no other option.

As they advanced, the gravity became increasingly terrifying. In the end, Ao Lie and the others were shocked. If it weren't for their collective resistance, relying on just these unparalleled Earth Saints, they would likely be suppressed instantly upon entering this place.

"Truly worthy of a Saint-level existence."

Xue Wudao and the others were filled with shock; the gravitational area alone could easily crush them, and they were about to engage in combat—what immense power!

Just a breath could blast them apart, right?

This only intensified everyone's desire for power.

However, as they progressed, the gravity here became too overwhelming for everyone to bear.

"This is impossible; why is the gravity here so terrifying?

It's much more fearful than the previous hurricane area. If this continues, can we even reach our destination?"

Everyone felt uneasy; it was evident that everyone was exhausted.

"Don't worry."

Just then, Jue Ming suddenly produced a flag. It was a pitch-black demonic flag, visibly tattered, stained with black demonic blood, emanating a chilling aura.

"This is a war flag of the Yan Luo Demon Race that our Wukong Organization acquired, along with intelligence about the Yan Luo Secret Realm. It can resist some of the gravity in this area."

He activated the black demonic flag, and immediately, an invisible force spread out, reducing the gravity everyone felt significantly.

"This demonic flag..." Everyone stared at Jue Ming, astonished that he had such a treasure hidden away at such a time. If it weren’t for the critical moment, he perhaps wouldn't have revealed it. Just how much does the Wukong Organization know about the Yan Luo Secret Realm?

"Qin Chen, my young friend, Jue Ming must have many secrets he hasn't disclosed. Something feels off, be cautious."

Ao Lie transmitted a message to Qin Chen.

"I know."

Qin Chen replied calmly, "However, Jue Ming likely wants to acquire something from the center of the Life and Death Demonic Palace, just to see who truly stands above."

"We can only take it step by step."

Ao Lie nodded.

At this point, naturally, they wouldn’t retreat.

Xue Wudao and the other three unparalleled Earth Saints seemed to be more vigilant towards Jue Ming.

But Jue Ming paid no mind, urging the demonic flag, leading everyone forward.

This area was originally impassable, but with the flag Jue Ming brought out, after an hour, everyone reached the end of this region.

Indeed, there was a stone tablet standing there.

Everyone wiped blood on it, and the oppressive gravitational space around them immediately loosened. Each person felt immensely relieved and comfortable.

"Who will stay behind?"

The group looked at each other, ultimately deciding, as per the earlier agreement, that each of the five factions would leave two people behind, while Cang Xuan City would leave none.
