Qiu Mingjie chuckled and said,
"Since this young lady has spoken, I will spare Feng Moyang this time. Once the matter of the ruins is settled, we will make a decision!"
"In that case, I would like to thank you in advance," the beautiful woman said calmly.
"May I ask for your name, Miss?"
The beautiful woman frowned slightly, seemingly reluctant to reveal her name. However, considering she needed something from them, she replied lightly,
"My name is Snow Qincheng."
"A lovely name. Miss Snow truly lives up to it; she is as stunning as her name suggests," Feng Moyang praised.
"Since both of you have agreed, shall we break this Light Barrier first?" Snow Qincheng said calmly, showing no reaction to Feng Moyang's words and maintaining her composed demeanor throughout.
Feng Moyang's face suddenly flashed with embarrassment, but no one noticed the lewdness hidden deep within his eyes.
"If we want to obtain the ruins, let’s work together to break this Light Barrier; otherwise, no one will get anything!"
Suddenly, Qiu Mingjie wrapped his voice in Mystical Energy, and his voice rolled through the crowd like thunder.
"Alright! Let's all work together to break this Light Barrier!" Voices of agreement echoed throughout the crowd.
Aotian glanced around and softly said,
"Let's join in as well. Once we enter the ruins, we should try not to separate. We must work together if we want to contend with Qiu Mingjie."
Xiao Ya and the Xiao Brothers both nodded lightly in response.
At that moment, colorful Mystical Energy Whips shot up from the dense crowd, resembling a dazzling meteor shower as they surged toward the multicolored Light Barrier.
Seeing that everyone had already taken action, Snow Qincheng slowly extended a jade-like hand, and a powerful aura suddenly surged from within her body.
"Half-Step Human Spirit?!"
When everyone looked at Snow Qincheng, their hearts were filled with shock. Clearly, no one expected that this woman, who appeared to be only in her twenties, was also a Half-Step Human Spirit warrior.
"Truly worthy of being a Student of Xuantian Academy..." Everyone couldn't help but feel a bit envious.
A white beam of light shot out from Snow Qincheng's palm, with faint streams of cold air swirling within it.
The beam struck fiercely against the multicolored Light Barrier, and immediately, cracks began to spread across the surface of the Light Barrier.
With many warriors gathered at the foot of the mountain, their combined efforts created a force that even a Human Spirit Realm warrior would likely need to avoid. Although the multicolored Light Barrier had astonishing defenses, it clearly could not withstand such an attack.
The cracks on the Light Barrier became increasingly dense until it ultimately shattered into numerous tangible Colorful Fragments.
As everyone displayed their joy for breaking through the Light Barrier, the Colorful Fragments seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force, swirling in the air before finally transforming into a Multicolored Light Portal several dozen feet wide. Behind the portal was an expanse of darkness, unknown as to where it led.
An aged voice mysteriously resonated in everyone's minds:
"My name is Soul Abyss. If you wish to obtain my legacy, you must enter the Multicolored Light Portal. Beyond the portal lies great danger; those lacking strength should proceed with caution! Caution!!" The aged voice carried a sense of impending doom as it pronounced the last two words.
At that moment, Aotian and the others were filled with shock. The ability of a deceased person to project their words into others' minds was truly astonishing.
Especially Aotian, who understood that such a feat could only be achieved by someone who had mastered Soul Power to an extremely high level. The soul cultivation of the elder from Soul Abyss must have reached an unfathomable realm.
However, despite the elder's warning, the allure of a powerful being's relic drove people mad with desire.
Everyone's eyes were filled with intense heat and greed, fixated on the Multicolored Light Portal, as if they could already see the endless treasures beyond it.
Finally, someone in the crowd could no longer hold back and shot like an arrow into the Multicolored Light Portal, subsequently vanishing from sight in a strange manner.
With one person leading the way, more warriors began to move. Like locusts, they surged into the Multicolored Light Portal, each one disappearing eerily from view as they entered.
The portal resembled an ancient beast, its gaping maw continuously devouring one warrior after another.
Snow Qincheng, Skeleton Adventure Team, and Wind Family also observed for a while before entering the Multicolored Light Portal.
"Let's go in too!" Aotian said lightly, then with a push of his toes against the ground, he shot toward the Multicolored Light Portal.
"Who is that person? So arrogant!"
"Damn it, he kicked me in the butt."
"My shoulder got nudged by him too..."
Xiao Ya and the Xiao Brothers exchanged a smile before dashing towards the Multicolored Light Portal.
On another mountaintop, an old man stood quietly, with a middle-aged man respectfully standing behind him.
"I didn't expect that girl Xue Qingcheng would come out as well..." the old man said with a faint smile.
The middle-aged man asked with some confusion, "Elder, didn't you place great importance on Aotian? The Multicolored Light Portal set up by Soul Abyss will repel warriors above Half-Step Human Spirit. Even if your strength is extraordinary, I fear you won't be able to enter."
"Soul Abyss's strength is on par with the dean, and the methods he has deployed with all his might are certainly beyond my ability to break," the old man candidly admitted that he was inferior to Soul Abyss.
"However, among those people are many warriors at Half-Step Human Spirit. Since you can't enter, you won't be able to protect that kid. Aren't you worried that the one you value might be..."
"Heh heh, if that kid always needs my protection, then what’s the point of his training? Don't worry, I believe that kid won't let me down..."
Although the middle-aged man was very puzzled as to why the elder had such confidence in Aotian, he couldn't ask further due to his position and could only watch quietly.
As Aotian stepped into the Multicolored Light Portal, he felt a dizzying sensation, and his vision darkened momentarily.
However, it wasn't long before Aotian's sight cleared up, revealing a vast desert before him.
The desert exhibited a strange dark red hue, completely desolate. Even the sky was tinted dark red, and the warriors who had entered with Aotian had mysteriously vanished without a trace.
"Where is this? Am I no longer on that peak?"
Aotian looked around with a puzzled expression.
Xiao Ya, the Xiao Brothers, and the other warriors who entered the light portal seemed to be absent from this desolate desert...
Originally, Aotian thought that entering the light portal would lead him to the peak, but now it seemed that things were not as simple as he had anticipated...
Suddenly, a small creature sprang out from the desert and darted past Aotian.
Before Aotian could react, he felt a sharp pain in his right arm.
He saw a scorpion-like creature perched on his right arm, with a sharp "stinger" piercing into his skin.
Instantly, Aotian's expression changed dramatically...
