The eight Holy Lands for martial arts had been guarding the forbidden area for numerous years. Since the beginning, no one had ever attempted to enter it.
Scott Ao was the first person who tried to do so. However, to his surprise, he couldn't make it. The power of the obstruction was too strong.
The other Holy Lords also fell to the ground.
"I just found out that the forbidden area you guard houses a living creature. Who is there?" asked a Holy Lord named Landon Lei.
Now, the two middle-aged men who guarded the forbidden area came over and narrated what happened in detail.
"A young man who reached the Spirit Realm is in there?"
The Holy Lords asked in disbelief. It seemed impossible. Even Scott could not get in. How could a young man who was only in the Spirit Realm make it?
"Distinguished Holy Lords, he was a guy with black spikes covering his body. I didn't know what happened to him," one of the guards said.
Scott looked grim and frowned when hearing the story.
"Dammit," he cursed. The Holy Lord of Lotus Holy Land stood out and said, "Do you remember the strange thing that happened in Barren Wasteland a few months ago? Was he the one in the coffin?"
"I don't think so. That day, each Holy Land sent hundreds of cultivators in the Wonder Realm to suppress the fiend. He seemed to have been shocked by something. During the escape, he injured more than ten cultivators, indicating that he had immense strength."
"But, if the guy who entered the forbidden area had black spikes, then he must have had some business with the fiend in the coffin. If he entered the forbidden area, I am afraid that..."
The faces of the Holy Lords turned grim.
"It's no use guessing it. Let's get out of here and see for ourselves what will happen."
……
After a long discussion among the Holy Lords of the Holy Lands, Scott stared at the door with no words. He had an ominous premonition.
"Lord, I did it unintentionally, please spare me," Frank pleaded as he knelt on the ground with his heart in his boots.
Scott ignored Frank and walked away.
This silent atmosphere made Frank extremely fearful. It was even more uncomfortable than being killed with a fist. The place he knelt on was already full of sweat.
Seeing the Lord walking away, Frank felt relieved. "I have made a lot of contributions to the Dragon Sect all these years. Lord, please show me mercy."
The moment he stood up, his body turned into sand, drifting in the wind...
……
After Darren was swallowed by the black, giant mouth, he went unconscious.
He woke up in a large hall supported by hundreds of huge stone pillars engraved with quaint patterns. Its ceiling was full of cobwebs and dust. It looked as if it had been abandoned for thousands of years.
Rusted black iron chains intertwined with the huge stone pillars and extended across the entire hall.
Overwhelmed with pain, Darren almost fainted again. Then, he found Elsa in his arms. She was also very pale and seriously injured.
He immediately took out the spiritual herbs from the Space Ring and swallowed them, which helped speed up his healing.
By the time he was able to consume thousands of them, he found himself feeling better, completely free of pain.
He continued to eat the herbs as he sat behind Elsa and instilled spiritual energy into her body.
A few hours later, the sword core in Darren's belly emitted a subtle roar. This indicated that he already managed to feel Elsa's sword core. Color finally returned to Elsa's skin. She no longer looked pale. Her cheeks flushed and she was filled with energy.
Cough!
