Alchemy Master

Chapter 405, The Entrance

Translator: Silavin

At this moment, there were many Martial Kings gathered outside this massive mountain.

Looking at this enormous mountain, even those Martial Kings could not help but be moved. How great must someone be to move a mountain to this place?

Compared to the person with such great divine abilities, not only were Martial Kings insignificant, but even the top experts of the Three Sects and One Manor would be ants to this person.

As various ancient palaces were explored, more and more people gathered here.

However, facing this mountain, what people felt was not reverence or fear, but rather excitement. So much so, their eyes were gleaming with light.

In their previous explorations of the ancient palace complex, too many people had gained many rewards. What Heaven’s Destiny Forbidden Area? There was not the slightest threat here, only opportunities that could change their fate!

And now, before them, the location of this mountain seemed to be the core area of the Heaven’s Destiny Forbidden Area. If the ancient palaces in the outer regions had yielded such great harvests, how much greater would the opportunities in this region be if they could enter the core region?

When everyone thought of this, their eyes lit up with excitement, eager to try, completely forgetting that they were currently in the most dangerous place in this Forbidden Area.

[How can we get in?] Watching more and more figures appear, Qin Yichen also frowned. He looked at this massive mountain, feeling a sense of helplessness in his heart.

And like him, there were many others.

*Boom! Boom!*

While Qin Yichen was pondering, suddenly, waves of Yuan Energy fluctuations and booming sounds echoed.

Looking over, Qin Yichen saw three or four Martial Kings to his far left, exerting their full strength, sending attacks toward the mountain before them.

From their posture, they clearly wanted to split this mountain open.

Seeing their actions, many people’s hearts stirred. There were at least a thousand people here. Although this mountain was huge, with their cultivation, even if it were an iron mountain, creating a passage by force would not be impossible – just somewhat laborious.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

Soon, hundreds of people’s eyes were filled with greedy desire, and powerful attacks were launched toward the mountain.

In an instant, the area was filled with flying sand and stones, debris splashing in all directions, and dust filling the sky.

However, regarding this, Qin Yichen only smiled contemptuously and did not take action. Several others also maintained an observant attitude and did not act.

[How could you possibly break such a powerful seal?] Qin Yichen shook his head, secretly sighing.

Sure enough, after a brief bombardment, as the dust settled, everyone discovered that they had not created a passage through the huge mountain before them. In fact, their attacks had not even left the slightest mark on the mountain.

The scene of flying debris earlier was merely caused by loose stones that had already fallen to the ground.

Facing the majestic mountain, everyone fell silent.

“How is this possible!?”

However, after a brief silence, there were still strong experts who refused to believe it. With a roar of anger, one figure soared into the sky. As Yuan Energy surged, the strongest attack of an Early Stage Martial King, under the gaze of hundreds or thousands, struck the mountain.

*Boom!* This attack hit the mountain hard, immediately producing an earth-shattering boom. The residual waves of Yuan Energy forced the nearby experts to retreat several steps.

As the residual waves of Yuan Energy dispersed, everyone’s pupils contracted once more.

Under this powerful attack, the mountain still showed no signs of damage. Not even a single piece of rubble had rolled down.

At this moment, Qin Yichen’s eyes suddenly narrowed. With his keen Spiritual Energy, he sensed that the devouring force in this world had suddenly become several times more ferocious.

“Ah!”

Just as Qin Yichen detected this change, a scream suddenly rang out. Looking over, everyone saw someone in the Spirit Realm had his body frantically eroded.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the screams ceased, and what had been a living person had turned into a pile of white bones.

Seeing this eerie scene, many people’s eyes showed a hint of trepidation.

And as the first Spirit Realm expert was eroded, it seemed to trigger a chain reaction, with one miserable scream after another continuing to ring out.

Qin Yichen clearly sensed that the devouring force in this space was three to four times stronger than when they had first entered!

With the devouring force now being so strong, ordinary Spirit Realm experts could no longer resist it with just their Yuan Energy alone!

In just over a quarter of an hour, the number of people around the mountain had been sharply reduced by half! White bones were everywhere. These remains had all been living, breathing people just a quarter of an hour ago!

It was only now that everyone suddenly realised: this was indeed the Heaven’s Destiny Forbidden Area!

The Heaven’s Destiny Forbidden Area, considered one of the most fearsome Forbidden Areas by those within the territory of the Three Sects and One Manor!

What made everyone’s expression ugly was that this devouring force did not seem to remain at a stable level but was becoming increasingly stronger with time!

At this rate of increase, after an hour or two, even Fully Accomplished Spirit Realm experts would not be able to hold out for long!

*Hum…* Just as everyone was starting to panic, a peculiar fluctuation suddenly spread throughout the area. Under this fluctuation, everyone was horrified to discover that their Yuan Energy seemed to be firmly suppressed, only able to spread on the surface of their bodies!

“Quickly, get away!”

Although they did not know the reason, in the previous days, the Heaven’s Destiny Forbidden Area had not shown any danger. But now, it was gradually revealing its ferocious side!

With several terrified shouts, all the Spirit Realm experts no longer dared to stay and swiftly fled outward.

With the strengthening of this devouring force, they would not even be able to protect themselves, let alone compete for treasures!

*Hum…* As they fled, suddenly, on the mountain, there seemed to be a ripple difficult to detect with the naked eye, undulating upward. Then, a huge light barrier which made one’s heart palpitate slowly appeared before everyone’s eyes.

This light barrier was so vast that one could not see its edges. It seemed to adhere to the huge mountain, as if enclosing the entire mountain within it.

What made the remaining Martial Kings’ pupils contract was that in a place in mid-air, there seemed to appear a distorted space like a black hole.

“The entrance!”

Seeing that distorted light barrier, someone exclaimed, and then, one fiery gaze after another were fixated on that spot.
