The mutual slaughter grew more and more intense, with everyone frantically fighting over the Eternal River Crystals.
Looking at the crowds above still killing each other over the Eternal River Crystals, Yan Yang furrowed his brow. He had a vague feeling that something wasn't quite right.
"All of you, come back to me! Stop fighting over the Eternal River Crystals and follow me!" Yan Yang said in a deep voice, then shot off in another direction.
Though the strong cultivators of the Fire God Sect didn't understand why Yan Yang had given such an order, they still followed closely behind him.
The center of the main hall.
In the rear hall stood dozens of sculptures, each one inscribed with numerous Runic Patterns.
Seeing these dozens of sculptures, the corner of Nie Li's mouth curved into a slight smile. Based on their positioning, only one of these sculptures was the true key.
These sculptures might fool others, but they couldn't escape Nie Li's eyes. Nie Li stopped and stood in contemplation.
Just as Nie Li stood before the dozens of sculptures lost in thought, outside the main hall, the towering crystal jade wall suddenly collapsed with a thunderous rumble, and a long tunnel entrance appeared before everyone's eyes.
Those who had been standing before the crystal jade wall trying to comprehend the cultivation techniques were all stunned.
Before, no matter what methods they tried, they had been unable to enter the crystal jade wall. So why had it suddenly opened?
"Go!"
"Let's check it out!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh — one by one, figures shot toward the entrance. In their view, the Phantom Shadow Divine Palace must surely contain boundless treasures.
Outside, the formation's life gate stood wide open, and countless powerful cultivators surged into the main hall.
Nie Li passed sculpture after sculpture, having already determined that seven of them were not the key to the formation.
A cold grunt of displeasure rang out from deep within the Phantom Shadow Divine Palace: "Who dares disturb me? Leave immediately, or don't blame me for being unforgiving!"
The voice was like a thunderclap, crashing into Nie Li's ears.
"Who are you?" Nie Li looked up toward the depths of the Phantom Shadow Divine Palace.
"I am this Phantom Shadow Divine Palace. Everything within it is under my control. If I so wish, I can turn every living being within the Phantom Shadow Divine Palace to ash. This is not a place you should be. Leave at once!" The voice carried a sharp killing intent.
"Oh!" Nie Li nodded in acknowledgment, then continued examining the sculptures.
"Did you or did you not hear what I said? Leave immediately, or don't blame me for being unforgiving!" The voice carried a note of anger.
"Then go ahead and don't be unforgiving. I'm only at the Heavenly Destiny realm anyway — dying wouldn't matter much," Nie Li said calmly.
Nie Li was completely indifferent to life and death!
The voice was silent for a moment, then spoke: "Since you don't fear death, why not go to the outer hall and fight for the Eternal River Crystals? That way you'd have a chance to obtain the treasures hidden within the Phantom Shadow Divine Palace!"
