Before, Qin Chen had always suspected that there was some special method of identification for entering Dark Moon Isle. After all, the three great underworld maidens were extremely strict in their precautions against the Eternal Calamity Sea. The mastermind behind this even intentionally drew down the waters of the River of the Undead, sealing off the core area of the Eternal Calamity Sea.
If they, as outsiders, could enter the depths of the Eternal Calamity Sea merely by offering something to the Dark Moon Nether Maiden without any form of identification, that would be too easy and completely illogical.
Unexpectedly, it indeed awaited them here.
"Son-in-law, this is troublesome."
Among the crowd, the Undying Emperor Supreme's heart sank, and his expression instantly became grim as he hurriedly communicated through voice transmission.
Mo Li also became tense.
He had picked up from their earlier conversation that there was the power of the Abyssal Clan within the waters of the River of the Undead, and he seemed to be extremely sensitive to the Power of the Abyss. If it triggered fluctuations in the Power of the Abyss, wouldn't that be troublesome?
"Let’s first observe."
Qin Chen looked at the Light Barrier before him, his gaze flashing. He had already anticipated this scene, so it was not entirely unprepared.
However, he was still uncertain if he could succeed.
Under the lead of the Jade Tiger Rakshasa, this group of people walked towards the River of the Undead Light Barrier, while the Dark Moon Nether Maiden quietly watched from the side, her expression indifferent.
As each ghost cultivator entered the River of the Undead Light Barrier, the barrier instantly lit up with beams of different colors. The light emitted from each ghost cultivator was unique, as if the barrier was identifying the strength of the entrants.
"Eh, this River of the Undead Light Barrier seems different from the one we encountered in the Eternal Calamity Sea before."
Qin Chen felt a stir in his heart.
In the previous River of the Undead Light Barrier, anyone who touched it would trigger violent fluctuations, but this current barrier seemed to only test the rules of the path cultivated by those who passed through.
Depending on the different paths cultivated by the ghost cultivators, the barrier’s reaction varied accordingly.
If that’s the case, it would be much easier. While Qin Chen contemplated, almost half of the people had already passed through the barrier. The aura displayed on the barrier was completely normal, showing no abnormalities.
However, when a cloaked man, seemingly from a small underworld ghost cultivator clan, passed through the barrier, there was a sudden hum, and the barrier seemed to emanate an extremely cold aura.
"Hmm?"
Everyone's attention was drawn to that aura.
Qin Chen immediately sensed that this aura was remarkably similar to that of the assassin from the Ghost Owl Society he had encountered before.
"Ghost Owl Society?" The Jade Tiger Rakshasa sneered, spreading her large hand and reaching directly towards the cloaked man. With a loud bang, the void ahead collapsed, and a gigantic hand, like a heavenly curtain, instantly enveloped the cloaked man.
The cloaked man's pupils flashed with surprise, and a hint of ferocity swiftly crossed his eyes. He swayed, and with a loud bang, a talisman appeared in his hand. That talisman shot into the sky, transforming into a pitch-black beam of light that soared upward.
"Boom!"
The black light's aura was astonishing, instantly blasting apart the massive hand that the Jade Tiger Rakshasa had conjured. Meanwhile, the cloaked man swayed and dashed far into the void beyond the Eternal Calamity Sea.
He produced another talisman in his hand, and at the moment he crushed it, he took a step forward, creating a hum; the void beneath the cloaked man seemed to fold in half instantly, shortening abruptly. In a split second, it appeared as if his figure had projected millions of miles away, escaping this realm.
