"Chief, your meaning is..."
The Demonic Emperor Old Man turned to the Origin Immortal Chief and frowned. He could hear from her tone that she was certain that no one else could obtain the Origin Immortal Art.
"Just watch and you'll understand."
The Origin Immortal Chief did not explain in detail, but her expression was assured and unpanicked.
"Young Patriarch, please be at ease. No one except Patriarch can enter the Origin Immortal Palace!"
There was a profound light in her eyes and immense confidence in her voice.
Wang Chong, the Demonic Emperor Old Man, and the Wushang Village Chief were all suspicious, but in the distance, everything was being revealed.
The second wave of martial artists reached the Origin Immortal Palace, but surprisingly, they suddenly stopped several feet from the palace.
Their eyes went slack as they motionlessly stood there.
"What's going on here?"
Everyone immediately sensed that something wasn't right, that something abnormal was going on.
The Origin Immortal Art made all the martial artists of the world go crazy. There was no reason for someone to stop before even reaching the golden barrier.
"Take some people to go and look!"
At the other end of the stone bridge, the Black Yin Ancestor suddenly waved his hand. Several Five Ancestor Alliance experts immediately began to make their way over.
The Righteous Alliance also sent out a few disciples.
As these experts crossed the stone bridge and the chains, they instantly became the center of attention.
A few moments later, these Righteous Alliance and Five Ancestor Alliance disciples had reached the barrier.
They chose to approach from different directions, and they were soon three feet from the barrier, two feet, one foot!
Bzzzz! With no warning, the Five Ancestor Alliance experts and Righteous Alliance disciples froze.
Their eyes became unfocused and dazed.
"What is this?!"
The Black Yin Ancestor once more trembled, a look of shock on his face.
Once was a coincidence, or perhaps because those unaffiliated martial artists had been lacking in strength. But even the Five Ancestor Alliance and Righteous Alliance experts had suffered the same fate, meaning that this was clearly not something that could be explained by a lack of strength.
At the same time, the one who had commanded the Righteous Alliance disciples to go over, Vice Lord Xie Guangting, couldn't help but crease his brow.
"Chief, what's going on here?" Wang Chong suddenly asked.
"Hmph, they've regarded the Origin Immortal lineage too simply. The Origin Immortal Lord left behind the Origin Immortal Palace within the heart of this cave more than one thousand years ago. We Origin Immortal Villagers and the six generations of disciples have devoted our all to protecting this palace, and those men in black expended such great effort also to reach this palace.
"How could such a place be so easily entered by just sending a few martial artists?" the Origin Immortal Chief coldly said, caring little about those avaricious righteous and evil path martial artists. "In short, no one except the young patriarch can enter the Origin Immortal Palace!"
Wang Chong said nothing, a pensive look on his face. Meanwhile, in the distance, there was a shift in the situation. Some of the stronger martial artists, driven by their obsession, had managed to break free of their daze.
"Get out of my way!"
"The Origin Immortal Art is mine! I will be the world's number one! No one can stop me!"
These experts began to summon up all their Stellar Energy, which took the form of energy palms, energy fists, Saber Qi, and Sword Qi, all of it striking the barrier around the Origin Immortal Palace.
Boomboomboom!
Countless attacks exploded on the barrier.
But a moment later, there were panicked screams as an immense golden torrent erupted from the barrier.
This golden torrent ignored those dazed martial artists, and in a flash of light, it slammed into those martial artists who had attacked the barrier, sending them flying.
And behind them was the bottomless abyss!
"Aaaaah!"
Screams resounded through the abyss as those martial artists, with no control over their bodies, plummeted downward. They tried to struggle, but their efforts were pointless.
A few moments later, the martial artists had vanished into the fog, but their distant screams could still faintly be heard.
As these martial artists fell, a beam of black and evil energy came out of the distance and collided with thunderous force against the golden barrier.
Bang!
The evil energy gave off a metallic clatter as it collided against the barrier, which slightly trembled. But a moment later, mysterious and ancient inscriptions flashed on its surface.
Another immense power reflected that beam of evil energy, which returned even faster than it had come.
"Ah!"
There was a cry of alarm as a black figure on the other side of the bridge hastily dodged to the side, just barely managing to avoid this terrifying strike.
Twenty to thirty meters behind him, the evil energy blasted into the rock wall. Boom! Chunks of stone varying in size came crashing down.
This mighty force caused even the ground beneath them to quake and groan.
"Bastard!"
The Black Yin Ancestor clenched his fists as he watched a large chunk of stone fall from above, his face ashen and twisted into a nasty scowl. He had just tried to see how strong the barrier was, seeing as those people up close couldn't break through it. He had not expected to almost be struck by his own attack.
If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been heavily wounded by his own attack.
"Old Five, there's something weird about this Origin Immortal Palace!" A mental wave resounded through the Black Yin Ancestor's mind. The Bone Devil Ancestor had chosen this moment to make his opinion known, and he was looking at the dazzling Origin Immortal Palace in great apprehension.
The others were also rather frightened.
The Black Yin Ancestor might not have been the strongest in the Five Ancestor Alliance, but he was definitely one of its best experts, only a tad weaker than the Bone Devil Ancestor and the others.
The Black Yin Ancestor's full-strength strike had been blocked and then reflected by the Origin Immortal Palace with even greater force than before. Their minds shivered at such a powerful defense.
This alone made the Origin Immortal Palace an impregnable fortress that would make any martial artist hesitate.
For at least ninety percent of martial artists, using force to break through the barrier was now implausible.
"The seal around this Origin Immortal Palace is too powerful. If we try to force our way through, not only might we not succeed, we might just end up heavily injuring ourselves."
Another mental wave was sent to the minds of the other two as the Myriad Ghost Ancestor commented, "...Since that's the case, why don't we question some people? This will also save us time and energy!"
The Myriad Ghost Ancestor turned a dark look at the Origin Immortal Chief standing behind Wang Chong.
The Black Yin Ancestor and the Bone Devil Ancestor immediately turned their heads as well, and their energies began to seethe. Strictly speaking, it had been this female chief of the Origin Immortal Villagers who had unlocked this Origin Immortal Palace.
If she knew how to summon the Origin Immortal Palace from its position high above, she had to know a way to get through the bizarre golden barrier.
"Hmph!"
The Origin Immortal Chief coldly snorted as the Myriad Ghost Ancestor looked over, instantly knowing what the Five Ancestor Alliance was thinking.
"Do you really think that we Origin Immortal Villagers have become so weak that we can be bullied?"
Buzz!
The Origin Immortal Chief shot them a cold glare and then sharply whistled. Keekee! A few moments later, a white thread shot out of the passage at the wall next to the Origin Immortal Chief.
Pa! Another white spider thread was fired, and a few moments later, a massive green creature covered in fur began to travel along the threads with frightening speed.
Buzz!
A few moments later, the massive creature had noiselessly appeared behind the Origin Immortal Chief, its eyes like bright stars in the darkness of the passage.
"It's the Darkshadow Spider!"
The crowd instantly recognized this creature, and those who had experienced its might trembled and unconsciously backed away.
