This Immortal Platform realm expert, blocked in his tracks, slammed his fist into the ground in fury. The noisy crowd instantly fell silent. Everyone rushing forward froze, looking blankly at the Immortal Platform expert who had slammed into the seal. Was it toying with them? “Ahhh! I’m going to curse you people!” “It’s still not open? Why? Was that blood sacrifice not enough? But we have already killed more than ten thousand people!” “Did we perform the ritual incorrectly?” “Bloody hell! Everyone, let’s gather together and bombard it. I refuse to believe we can’t break into a ruin that’s been sleeping for millions of years.” After a brief silence, the crowd went crazy with anger. Some shook their heads in frustration and backed away. Others grew reckless, ready to force their way in. “Attack! We just haven’t killed enough! It just needs more sacrifices!” “Ah, no! The ritual’s useless! I curse you! Stay sealed forever!” All of a sudden, the screams of countless people resounded again. Chen Fan made a mistake and was struck by an early-stage Invincible Legend. It launched him like a cannonball, straight toward a deep pit in the ground. Unable to react, he crashed into it and vanished from view. That Immortal Platform expert hadn’t left. Watching nearby, he was stunned by the scene. Thinking the ritual had finally worked, he tried the seal again, only to get the same result. “Damn it, what exactly is going on here?” The Immortal Platform expert was now thoroughly furious. Why could some Greater Legend brat go in, but he was being blocked? This Immortal Platform realm expert wasn’t the only one who saw Chen Fan disappear into the deep pit. Many people nearby also saw it. “What’s going on? That kid... Did he go in?” “But why was this Immortal Platform expert blocked out again?” Chen Fan’s attacker, the Invincible Legendary realm expert, was also astonished. He exclaimed in shock, “What? That kid from before actually entered?” “Oh shit! Shit! Shit!” More people shouted profanities, eyes wide and jaws slack in disbelief. “I’ll give it a try.” A Greater Legendary realm stepped forward, volunteering bravely. He walked toward the deep pit, and he, too, disappeared. “He entered! He really entered!” Everyone saw that clearly. “I get it! This seal blocks experts in the Immortal Platform realm and above from entering!” “Only those below the immortal realm can pass!” “Have a Void Immortal give it a try.” “I’ll do it!” A Void Immortal realm expert walked over, stepped into the pit, and disappeared without resistance. “Those below the immortal realm can enter!” Suddenly, the crowd burst into a commotion. What they had thought was a failed ritual or insufficient blood sacrifice turned out to be a simple restriction: the seal barred immortal realm experts. “Quickly, charge forward! We won’t get anything if we’re late!” This content belongs to novᴇlfire.net All of a sudden, everyone burst forth like a swarm of locusts, rushing toward the deep pit. The results were as expected. Those below the immortal realm passed through the barrier without issue. “Damn it! Why! Why can’t I go in?!” That Immortal Platform expert nearly vomited blood in frustration. Bloodshot eyes blazing, he roared like a lunatic, “Damn it! Every one of you deserves to die! If I can’t enter, then neither can you!” He unleashed an attack on the crowd. “Ahhh!” Miserable screams filled the air, and his actions also thoroughly enraged the crowd. Although he was strong and no one could match him alone, there were over ten thousand people present, many of them Void Immortals, and they were all furious now. “Attack! Everyone, strike together, kill him!” roared a Void Immortal realm expert angrily. Immediately, more than ten thousand people attacked simultaneously. Their terrifying strikes surged like a tidal wave, pouring toward that Immortal Platform realm expert. His expression shifted drastically. He had the strength to slaughter anyone there, but not when faced with a coordinated barrage from over ten thousand cultivators. After all, he had just stepped into the first level of the Immortal Platform realm. The bombardment made him spew fresh blood furiously; he was nearly disintegrated. His complexion turned pale, and he fled in terror. The crowd didn't chase him. After scaring him away, all of them rushed into the deep pit with all their might. Chen Fan’s vision turned dark. A moment later, he found himself staring at a vast mountain range engulfed in flames, stretching endlessly into the distance. The searing heat instantly soaked him in sweat. Not even the Featherlight Daoist Robe could block the extreme temperature. He froze momentarily, then quickly regained focus. This had to be the interior of the Mystical Gates Immortal Manor. “I got in just like that?” His expression turned strange. He’d been hit by an Invincible Legendary realm expert, sent flying, and landed here... Was that luck or misfortune? “But why a flaming mountain range? Shouldn’t there be palace halls?” Chen Fan looked puzzled. Outside, everyone had seen the silhouette of majestic palace halls. He had assumed entry would place him directly in one, ready to search for treasures. But this didn’t match. “Am I the only one here?” He raised his head and spread his spiritual sense. Suddenly, a hill not far ahead exploded. Flames shot over a thousand feet into the air. From the inferno, a blazing monster emerged, charging straight at Chen Fan. A deafening roar shook the space. A searing heat wave followed. Sparks danced in Chen Fan’s eyes—a flaming fist was flying straight at his face. Chen Fan was startled and instantly retreated frantically. However, the flame-covered monster chased him relentlessly. It opened its fist; its fingers turning into five blazing spears that slashed toward him. Chen Fan stopped abruptly, struck forward with his palm, then spun and clenched his fist. It was just in time to collide with another flaming monster attacking from behind. A terrifying force swept out. The impact caused the blazing flames on the monster to pause. Only then did Chen Fan get a clear look at what he was dealing with. It was a person: a shriveled, flame-wrapped human figure.
