Chapter 15 Ch 15: The Black Gate
“Xiaolong, how did you destroy all those souls so easily?”
Ling Wei Long’s this question was also what everyone wanted to know. They have no idea how exactly Ye Xiao destroyed all resentful souls. All they saw was Ye Xiao just speaking two words, “Soul Destruction”, and then all the resentful souls were destroyed.
It has to be known that there were tens of thousands of souls forcefully imprisoned in the formation. Even they could not destroy all these souls as easily as Ye Xiao did.
Ye Xiao, on the other hand, pretended to be stupid. He said: “I… I don’t know. I just felt like I could do it, so I did it.”
Looking at Ye Xiao’s innocent face where not even a single trace of lie could be seen, Ling Wei Long frowned. It was not just Ling Wei Long, but everyone present at the scene frowned, for they were also not sure whether what Ye Xiao told them is the truth or not.
How could someone who destroyed tens of thousands of souls in an instant don’t know how he destroyed them?
How could Ye Xiao just feel like doing it and so he did it?
But then again, Ye Xiao did not seem to be lying. His own face was full of confusion, as if he was puzzled how all the souls were destroyed and disappeared in an instant.
“I think this must also be related to the blessings of Morning Stars. Only this could be the perfect explanation.”
Ling Wei Long muttered, loud enough for most of the people to hear his words. They all nodded their heads in understanding.
Yes, only this could explain why Ye Xiao was capable of doing something that even they, the leaders of five overlord forces of Cloudy Star Region, are unable to do.
“Let’s forget about this for now.” Ye Molong stood out at this moment and looked at Gu Lufan before speaking: “President Gu, now that Abyssal Energy and the resentful souls have been dealt with, why don’t you break the last formation? With that, the path that could lead us to the Tomb of Green Flame Emperor will definitely surface.”
“Yes, President Gu, please do this.”
Ling Wei Long also agreed. He did not want anyone to focus on Ye Xiao much for the time being, so he needed to distract them. Now that Ye Molong spoke, he found the opportunity and immediately acted.
Ye Xiao also heaved a sigh of relief when he saw everyone focusing on President Gu instead of him.
Now that the danger of Abyssal Energy was dealt with and even resentful souls were removed, there was nothing stopping Gu Lufan. He immediately nodded his head and acted to break the formation. And in the process of breaking the formation, Vice President Yun was there to help him as well.
Because of the joint effort of the two old men, they were soon able to break the last hurdle stopping them from stepping on the path that could lead them to the Tomb of Green Flame Emperor.
Rumble~
The moment the formation was broken, the sky suddenly rumbled as the crackling sound of red lightning rang out, thundering the entire sky with red light as destructive energy spread everywhere.
Everyone immediately retreated out of the Garden, for they felt a calamity was about to descend into the garden.
“BOOM!”
And it was just as they have expected. The moment everyone stepped out of the garden, they saw a beam of destructive red lightning suddenly descending from the sky, making a giant hall right at the center of the garden.
The destructive energy born from the lightning immediately destroyed almost a large part of the garden. The garden was no longer a garden but a ruin.
Surprisingly, the phenomenon no longer continued and disappeared. .
The garden was completely mostly destroyed and at the center of the garden, there was a huge hole.
“Could it be that this hole could lead us to the Tomb?” The leader of Heavenly Joy Palace asked in confusion.
“I think so too!” The Leader of Star Fire Hall said in agreement.
“Let’s go there!” The leader of East Cloud Sect spoke.
Ye Xiao also secretly nodded his head. It is because he could easily tell that the Gate was right at the bottom of the hole created by the destructive red lightning. It seems that all those previous phenomena were the preparation for creating this hole through the red lightning.
It is just that doing something like this is not easy at all.
Ye Xiao could not even fathom the strength or the level of Green Flame Emperor when he was still alive. He could actually create formations that could make nature itself take action.
…..
After that, no one delayed any longer. According to the agreement, the Leaders of Star Fire Hall, East Cloud Sect, and Heavenly Joy Pavilion jumped into the hole. Other than them, President Gu and Vice President Yun also jumped into the hole.
Then Ye Molong and another person from the Ye Family, as well as Ling Wei Long and Ling Cheng jumped into the hole.
Only these people were allowed to enter the tomb of the Green Flame Emperor. Other than them, everyone else has to stay out. They are not allowed to jump into the hole at all.
The moment these people jumped into the hole, a few powerful elders of the Ye Family started guarding the hole. They were there to not let anyone enter the tomb at all.
Although everyone else in the garden wanted to go as well, they were helpless and could not do anything at all, for they are not permitted to enter.
They could only be disappointed and wait in the ruined garden patiently for everyone to come out.
Ye Xiao, on the other hand, was preparing to use his teleportation ability to go near the Gate at any moment. His pupils were glowing green and he was observing the situation inside the hole.
He was prepared to take action not long after his father, grandfather, and others will enter the tomb by opening the gate.
…..
Inside the hole, when everyone landed, they immediately started observing their surroundings, wanting to look for the entrance of the tomb.
This hole was completely dark, but as the leaders of powerful forces, they all had enough cards in their hands to deal with the darkness in the hole.
Very soon, the darkness completely disappeared from the bottom of the hole.
This hole was more than fifteen meters wide and fifty meters long. It was a cube-shaped hole.
And on one of the sides of the wall at the bottom of the hole, they saw a completely dark Gate. This black gate was covered in a very strange aura. This aura gave everyone a very strange feeling, but they could not name this feeling.
They chose to ignore their feelings and prepared to open the gate. But the question was, how to open the gate?
Everyone carefully started observing the gate, intending to find a way to open it. But there was no keyhole, no formation, and not even the smallest crack on this gate that could let them open the gate.
This completely black gate was too strange. The strange aura originating from the gate was making everyone very uncomfortable. There seemed to be something very terrifying about this black gate, but no one could tell what it is. But one thing is true for everyone. Everyone could feel their soul becoming hotter and hotter the longer they stayed in this place.
Yes, it was not their body but their soul was becoming hotter that terrified everyone.
What is the reason for their soul to become so hot?
Everyone felt if they dared to stay here for more than two hours, their soul will start burning and they will die.
Now, they only had two choices left. They either have to leave this place and retreat or they have to open the gate anyhow and enter the tomb to explore it.
Of course, no one would give up now that they were standing right in front of the Tomb’s door.
They immediately started consulting with each other in order to find a way to open the gate. In the end, everyone decided to attack the gate with their strongest strength and destroy it.
Everyone was ready and soon, they started bombarding the gate with their powerful attacks. The sounds of continuous explosions rang out of the deep hole created by the red lightning.
“BOOM!” “BOOM!” “BOOM!”
But no matter how they attacked, they were unable to even make a scratch on the gate. The dark gate was completely fine.
“What should we do now? How do we open the gate?”
The leader of Star Fire Hall asked in a worried tone. It was not only him, everyone was worried.
The more time passed, the more uncomfortable they felt. And one hour later, they felt a burning sensation in their souls because of the high intensity of hotness that was constantly attacking everyone’s souls.
