Chapter 967 - 866: There Really Is a Killing Array
As he approached, he discovered that the underground ahead seemed fine, but it emitted a faint Killing Array energy.He exhaled a breath of turbid air and hurriedly threw a Longsword forward.
In the next moment, he realized that a powerful Killing Array energy suddenly appeared underground, and the energy burst immediately.
Everyone heard a violent explosion sound from the front, followed by a strong Killing Array energy sensed from ahead.
The powerful impact force from the front made everyone's breath almost suffocate.
"So there really is a Killing Array ahead! That array is really powerful!"
Everyone gasped, their inner shock understandable; they hadn't expected such a terrifying Killing Array ahead.
Duan Gujin took a deep breath, now understanding that what he sensed earlier was a Killing Array capable of annihilating all living creatures within a range of hundreds of meters.
He was shocked because if he hadn't paid attention to the ground earlier, he might have stepped on that Killing Array.
If anyone in the team stepped on the Killing Array, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Initially, some Martial Artists present were worried that Duan Gujin might have seen a Treasure earlier.
However, their Divine Sense detection range was not as far as Duan Gujin's, and they could do nothing about him.
When they saw the explosion with a terrifyingly powerful Killing Array ahead, they realized they had wronged Duan Gujin before.
"So there really is a Killing Array here!"
This was the first time everyone had seen the Killing Array here, and their expressions grew solemn, their mood extremely tense.
They detected with Divine Sense that the instant the Killing Array ahead erupted, it had the power comparable to above the Eighth Level of a Martial Saint.
They could imagine that once they were hit by that Killing Array, most of them would fall on the spot, as their bodies could not resist the terrifying power of the array.
Everyone immediately recalled the fallen corpses, noting that many were from the Devil Clan, as well as some Human Warriors.
Even though they didn't know how many ages had passed here, the space was almost sealed, and many corpses retained their dying postures.
Now they understood why those warriors had tragically died here, and they dared not let their guard down.
Many Martial Artists secretly celebrated their own caution; had they acted rashly, they wouldn't even know how they had died here.
Looking at Duan Gujin, many Martial Artists' eyes filled with admiration.
Duan Gujin, after carefully probing and confirming no danger nearby, allowed the Martial Artists behind him to move forward.
"My friend, thank you for the warning earlier!"
Once up front, many Martial Artists immediately thanked Duan Gujin.
"No need to be so polite; just make sure everyone is extremely cautious here!"
Duan Gujin replied.
Then, Duan Gujin walked at the very front of the team, as he had the strongest Divine Sense detection ability, and no one objected to him leading.
Many Martial Artists speculated that Duan Gujin might simply want to be the first to acquire any Treasures.
However, their Spiritual Power was far weaker than Duan Gujin's, and they feared accidentally stepping on a Killing Array here.
Moreover, their task here was not to find Treasures but to fulfill the Ascension Academy Elders' mission.
If Duan Gujin did find a Treasure up front, those unwilling to accept it could only resign themselves.
Everyone proceeded cautiously.
Duan Gujin was extremely cautious, discovering three Killing Arrays along the way.
After leading everyone to avoid those three arrays, the group spent an hour finally reaching the palace.
Initially, they thought the palace was small, but now at its entrance, they gasped in shock.
They realized the palace was actually enormous.
Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense and discovered that the palace walls were covered with various runes.
Those runes reminded not only him but the other Martial Artists of the previous entrance.
Everyone extended their Divine Sense, detecting strong Array Energy within those runes.
However, they didn't know what those runes meant.
Upon checking the palace iron door, they found it was the same as the one they saw outside earlier.
However, next to the iron door was a plaque with the words 'Push open the door'.
Staring at the plaque, everyone frowned in contemplation, unsure whether to follow its instructions.
Duan Gujin examined the plaque and found nothing wrong with it,
so he prepared everyone for defense, then joined everyone in pushing open the door.
Many were puzzled and asked, "Brother Duan, aren't you afraid there are Mechanical Traps here?"
Duan Gujin said, "I scanned the vicinity and found no Mechanical Traps! I doubt the test would start at this door."
He had inspected every part of the iron door and found no poison.
Additionally, he saw nothing peculiar about the iron door; it was just an ordinary iron door.
Together, they pushed the door open, revealing a stone wall glowing brightly.
After examining, they discovered that many Luminous Pearls surrounded the stone wall.
"This place is so eerie!"
Duan Gujin exhaled, his eyes flashing, puzzled.
"Everyone, restore your strength to its Peak State, and once your Primordial Power is fully restored, we'll proceed together!"
He didn't immediately lead the team inside but instead had everyone rest and restore their Primordial Power as quickly as possible.
"Brother Duan, is it dangerous ahead?"
At that moment, Mo Yan's inquiry reached Duan Gujin's ears.
"Yes, since this is the Thunder Sect Secret Hall, there should be many Mechanical Traps inside. We've already expended a lot of Primordial Power, so we should recover properly. We could be in trouble if we encounter danger!"
Duan Gujin replied subtly, answering Mo Yan's query.
"Understood!"
Duan Gujin exhaled, took some Elixir Pills, and circulated his Primordial Power to absorb them.
As time passed, an hour later, everyone had more or less recovered.
They cautiously entered the palace's narrow yet splendid corridor ahead.
Duan Gujin looked at the surrounding runes, his brow furrowing.
The group's advance was very slow, as they truly wanted to avoid danger here.
Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense, realizing the corridor ahead seemed endless.
Their Divine Sense was completely blocked by a powerful barrier, making it unusable there.
Even Martial Artists with strong Spiritual Power like Duan Gujin couldn't detect more than ten meters ahead.
