Death Grip
This somewhat goes against the rules of the Sword Mound, but it also indirectly proves the strength of this palace. After all, there are Divine-Grade Remnants present in the Sword Mound. The Vengeful Spirits born from the Divine-Grade Remnants are so powerful that they do not dare to emerge and stop this Golden Palace. This shows just how formidable this palace is.
At this moment, Xing Chen and the others had completely disappeared along with the golden light. The golden palace in the sky slowly faded away, and the surroundings once again became shrouded in thick fog, with Negative Power gradually filling the area once more.
The first to step out of the Golden Palace was Zhao Yiming. He looked around with an expression of ecstasy on his face as he took in the scenery. They had already entered the interior of the Golden Palace, where countless Divine Weapons were beckoning to them.
“Haha, just like before, this time we must explore the entire palace,” Zhao Yiming laughed. This was not their first visit; in fact, it was already their third time.
Since they first saw this palace appear, they began to pay attention to its movements and eventually came to a conclusion.
That is, this palace appears in this location every five years. At that time, as long as they use Soul Power to disperse the surrounding fog and reveal the Golden Palace, it would descend with a Guiding Light, leading them all into the palace.
During their previous explorations of this palace, they discovered countless treasures, including Divine Weapons, elixirs, and even the secret method for cultivating souls that Zhao Yiming obtained here.
“Hehe, last time we barely made it through the third chamber and gained so many benefits. This time we have prepared for so long; we will definitely get even more rewards.”
Lu Yunhe chuckled from the side. In this Golden Palace, each chamber contains countless treasures. They had only passed through the third chamber and achieved their current accomplishments; if they could get through the fourth chamber, although they did not know what benefits awaited them,
it would definitely not be worse than what they had obtained before.
“Everyone, let’s stick to our usual rules: any Cultivation Method secrets we obtain will be practiced together without fighting over them. Elixirs will be shared equally. As for items like Divine Weapons or Rare Treasures, we will hold onto them for now and distribute them evenly at the end. Does anyone have any objections?”
The only female among the five, Zhang Mengning, spoke up.
Zhang Mengning appeared to be quite young, looking only in her twenties, but her strength was incredibly formidable. In Xing Chen's perception, she seemed even stronger than Zhao Yiming by a few degrees.
“That sounds fair; we have no objections,” the others nodded after exchanging glances.
There were a total of nine people entering the palace this time. In addition to the Five Great Powerhouses, each of them brought along a helper, except for Qiu Pengchi, who came alone.
However, this person surely had some preparations; most likely, he had brought some treasures to counter the dangers within the various palaces.
"Since that's the case, let's go! Zhang Mengning, you will handle the chilling winds in the passage to Fireburn Palace!" Zhao Yiming said at this moment.
The others nodded and then moved forward. Ahead was the passage leading to Fireburn Palace, but it was quite dangerous. As soon as someone stepped into this passage, countless fierce winds would suddenly appear.
These winds were not ordinary; they were a special kind known as Nine Nether Phoenix. It was said to be a wind from the underworld that could easily disperse a person's soul. Even strong practitioners from the Yang Spirit Realm could not withstand it for long.
Of course, the five freaks among Zhao Yiming's group were exceptions. After all, they had cultivated the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique, giving their souls strength comparable to those at the Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm. With some defensive treasures for their souls, passing through here would not be difficult.
"Once we enter the passage, do not stray more than ten meters away from me; otherwise, you will die a terrible death," Zhang Mengning said coldly, primarily addressing Xing Chen and the others.
Xing Chen and his companions' Soul Power was significantly weaker than theirs. Thus, if they left her protection, they would undoubtedly perish.
Xing Chen and the others nodded and followed closely behind Zhang Mengning as they entered the passage.
As soon as they stepped into the passage, a chilling wind rushed toward them, making it feel like they had entered Nine Nether Hell. This was in stark contrast to the magnificent and golden palace outside.
With the arrival of this chilling wind, everyone shivered in unison. At that moment, a layer of fiery red light suddenly rose up to protect them, blocking all the chilling winds.
"What a powerful chilling wind! Even if I were caught off guard by it, I would probably have my soul dissipate and die," Xing Chen said with a flicker in his gaze. The chilling wind in this passage was indeed formidable; if one entered without preparation, they would certainly meet their demise immediately.
At this point, they had already traversed halfway through the passage, and the chilling winds around them grew increasingly fierce. Zhang Mengning's delicate face had even turned slightly pale.
"Do you all feel that this Nine Nether Phoenix is much stronger than during our previous two encounters?" Zhang Mengning said softly while biting her lip.
"It is indeed the case that this Nine Nether Phoenix is at least one-third more powerful than the last time we came," Qiu Pengchi said with a slightly gloomy expression.
The power of the Nine Nether Phoenix was already formidable, and now it was even stronger than when they last entered, which made each of them feel a sense of unease.
Since the power of the Nine Nether Phoenix had increased, the barriers in other areas must have become even more formidable.
As they traveled two-thirds of the way, Zhang Mengning was already struggling to hold on. Although her Soul Power was strong, her cultivation was only at the Yang Spirit Second Layer Realm. It was nearly impossible for her to maintain the defensive barrier for an extended period under the influence of the Nine Nether Phoenix.
"Xing Chen, hurry and help us, or we're all done for," Zhao Yiming said as he glanced at Xing Chen. He had originally planned to use Xing Chen's abilities when they reached the fourth palace, but unexpectedly, they needed to use them in the first palace.
Xing Chen gave him a faint glance and then opened his mouth. A purplish-red pearl suddenly flew out; this was the Thunderfire Pearl. With its appearance, the surrounding temperature rose sharply, and even the cold winds outside diminished significantly.
"Thunderfire Pearl?" Qiu Pengchi and the others' eyes lit up. The Thunderfire Pearl was a treasure from a thousand years ago belonging to the Thunderfire Deity, and its power was no less than that of a High-Level Divine Weapon.
Moreover, as the last strongman of Gaze of Fate in the Eastern Region, many people were aware of him. Although those in Sword Mound had not been involved in worldly affairs for a long time, they still knew about Thunderfire Deity.
"Hmph!" Xing Chen snorted coldly and put away the Thunderfire Pearl. The intensity of the Nine Nether Phoenix's assault immediately increased, and signs showed that Zhang Mengning's fiery barrier was on the verge of collapse.
"What are you doing? Do you want to die?" Zhao Yiming shouted sternly. Even they had no confidence in withstanding the Nine Nether Phoenix; now that Xing Chen had put away the Thunderfire Pearl, how could they not be furious?
"I don't like their greedy gazes. I feel uneasy leaving the Thunderfire Pearl exposed," Xing Chen replied calmly. Faced with those covetous looks, if he did not react at all, they would likely become even more brazen and attempt to seize it directly next time.
Although the Thunderfire Pearl had recognized its master, as long as they killed Xing Chen, there was still a possibility of obtaining it.
However, since Xing Chen was the master of the Thunderfire Pearl, he could also detonate it at a critical moment. Once detonated, this Thunderfire Pearl, comparable to a High-Level Divine Weapon, would not be something to take lightly.
This was also why Zhao Yiming did not forcibly seize the Thunderfire Pearl from Xing Chen initially; if Xing Chen really detonated it, not only would they be in danger, but even strong individuals from Gaze of Fate might struggle to withstand such an impact.
"Child, you don't want to die here, do you? What happened earlier was indeed their fault, but if you choose to confront them at this moment, it is not a wise decision for you."
Zhao Yiming took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and slowly spoke.
"Are you done with your nagging? If you don't make a move soon, I won't be able to hold on much longer, and then we'll all be finished." At that moment, Zhang Mengning's angry voice reached everyone's ears.
At this time, they were still a thousand meters away from leaving the passage, but the fiery red barrier that Zhang Mengning had raised was already flickering. Outside, the Nine Nether Phoenix was blowing even harder, and seeing that the barrier was about to shatter, everyone showed signs of tension on their faces.
Just then, Xing Chen opened his mouth, and the Thunderfire Pearl flew out again. Qiu Pengchi and the others also withdrew their greedy gazes. After all, at this moment, if they lost their lives due to their greed, it would be a tragedy.
So, in order to control their eyes, they all turned their heads away from the Thunderfire Pearl.
"Not good! Look ahead!" At that moment, Zhang Mengning suddenly exclaimed. Everyone turned to look in the direction of her voice and discovered that there was actually a Black Wind Dragon blocking their path.
"Is this the wind dragon formed by the Nine Nether Phoenix?" Zhao Yiming stared in shock at the Black Wind Dragon, murmuring to himself.
"Roar..."
At that moment, the Black Wind Dragon let out a fierce Dragon Roar and charged towards them. Suddenly, a strong wind erupted around them, and the fiery red shield raised by Zhang Mengning shattered with a loud bang.
