Ye Qingchen's pupils contracted.

He could naturally sense that this palace was unusual, perhaps this was the very reason why so many strong individuals gathered here.

"This is Linghua Mansion!"

Earlier, the old man at the Profound Pill Eighth Heaven, clasped his fists, and calmly explained, "It's very likely the residence of the Spiritual Splendor Celestial Saint!"

"So why aren't you going in?"

Ye Qingchen asked in confusion.

"Do you think we wouldn't want to? A restriction has been set outside this palace, and we've already gathered here for five or six days without breaking it!" The old man shook his head.

"Oh?"

Ye Qingchen heard this and looked forward again.

Indeed.

He saw that outside the palace, there was a layer of faint white light, like a giant transparent bowl covering the entire palace and isolating everyone outside, unable to take even a step further.

"How long will it take to break this restriction?" The burly man with an axe, evidently impatient from waiting for so long, grumbled, "So what if it's a Celestial Saint's residence? Why not all join efforts to break this restriction!"

Saying this, he eagerly grabbed the giant axe, roared deeply, and struck down fiercely.

"Clang!"

A massive sound emerged, and that seemingly thin barrier shuddered, sending ripples across it like water.

"Roar!"

The burly man didn't stop at all.

The giant axe in his hand chopped down again and again, and amidst the bursting firelight, a fine crack appeared on the barrier.

"It's broken!"

"It really broke open!"

Witnessing this scene, there was an excited cheer from around.

Numerous cultivators, who were previously watching, unleashed their True Qi and attacked boldly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Waves of attacks infused with True Qi hit the barrier. The barrier trembled continuously, and the ripples grew larger as numerous fractures spread, resembling a broken mirror.

Until it couldn't hold anymore and collapsed.

Whoosh!

As the barrier shattered, a vast stream of air suddenly surged out from within Linghua Mansion.

Rumble!

The flowers, trees, rocks, and stones outside the palace were instantly crushed, leveled to the ground.

And standing outside Linghua Mansion, the three cultivators at the Profound Pill Seventh Heaven closest by, were swept by the airflow, turned into dust instantaneously, vanished without a trace, without even having time to scream.

"Not good!"

"This airflow..."

"Quickly resist it!"

Seeing this, everyone was utterly shocked, quickly circulating True Qi to resist this torrent.

Afraid that a moment of delay would lead to the same fate as those before.

Gu Hengtong snorted coldly, his True Qi surged, instantly pushing the turbulent Powerful Qi out three meters away from his body. Yet even though he reacted in time, the torrent made his body tremble and retreat three steps.

"Such strong Powerful Qi! No wonder those two cultivators at the Profound Pill Seventh Heaven were crushed instantly without time to respond!" Gu Hengtong thought in horror, but then, he smirked, "That kid Ye Qingchen is only at the Profound Pill Fifth Heaven, even if he survives, he'd surely be in a dire state!"

As he thought, he glanced back mockingly.

However, upon turning back, his face stiffened involuntarily. The struggling state he imagined for Ye Qingchen did not appear; he still stood there, looking leisurely and composed.

"Hmph!"

Gu Hengtong snorted coldly inwardly.

"Let's see how long you can remain smug!"

"Such strong Powerful Qi!"

The burly man's gruff voice sounded, the giant axe in his hand emitted a faint glow, the vast airflow before him split in two, rushing to both sides.

He stared at Linghua Mansion's entrance for a moment, then said in a deep voice:

"Not even entered Linghua Mansion, and already three have died! With such strong protection, the treasures inside must be extraordinary!"

Speaking so.

He strode forward boldly.

Seeing the movement, others' expressions shifted momentarily, hesitating only for a moment before several others moved forward.

Participating was inevitable despite the danger, they must venture into Linghua Mansion. Only then could they seize the best treasures, they certainly didn't want to lag behind others!

However.

The further in, the more immense the torrent of Powerful Qi became.

"Ah!" "Ah!"

Almost in an instant.

Two more people were directly shredded by this Powerful Qi, perishing in no time.

"Charge!"

"Go!"

Seeing more people advancing, others couldn't care less about the fallen cultivators; one by one, they marshalled all their energy and defensive means, rushing toward Linghua Mansion's entrance.

Even the old man at the Profound Pill Eighth Heaven was unwilling to lag behind, fearing that others would seize the opportunity first.

"Ye Qingchen!"

Gu Hengtong moved his feet, prepared to dash into Linghua Mansion.

But as he shifted his steps, he suddenly seemed to realize something, glanced back coldly at Ye Qingchen.

"You talk big, don't you?"

"Wonder if you have the guts to venture into Linghua Mansion. Don't end up being shredded by this Powerful Qi before even entering!"

Boom!

As the words fell.

Gu Hengtong burst into laughter, turned swiftly, and charged toward Linghua Mansion's entrance.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the unleashed Powerful Qi swept toward Gu Hengtong.

However.

At this moment, Gu Hengtong let out a long roar, an unparalleled Sword Qi emerged from his body, directly shredding the torrent of Powerful Qi.

"Scrunch!"

At this moment.

Gu Hengtong was like a steel knife, intensely piercing into the torrent of Powerful Qi.

The terrifying torrent fiercely collided with the Sword Qi, producing thunderous sounds like metal clashing, and sparks flew everywhere. Yet, it didn't move an inch, nor even slow down his speed!

In almost a blink.

Gu Hengtong surpassed most others.

For a moment.

Those venturing into Linghua Mansion all widened their eyes, dumbfounded by what they saw.

Clearly.

This strength was beyond their imagination.

"Is this the strength of a silver-ranked warrior?"

Ye Qingchen quietly observed Gu Hengtong's figure.

Indeed.

Fame held true for those worthy.

The strength Gu Hengtong exhibited was even stronger than Zheng Yuanfeng! No wonder he dared to stop me earlier!

Given that someone ranked fifty-fourth on the silver scoreboard possesses such strength, what about those ranked higher?

However.

The more so, the more it ignited Ye Qingchen's heart that refused to be defeated!

"Is that so?"

"Venturing into this Linghua Mansion?"

"Alright!"

Ye Qingchen looked at the huge mansion, not only without a trace of fear but strode forward boldly...
