Instantly, Ye Feng felt an incredibly terrifying suction force. Before he could even react, he was pulled in.
Luo Bing Shuang, standing beside him, experienced the same fate. Without any chance to resist, she was drawn in along with Ye Feng.
This scene caused the expressions of everyone in the pursuing group to change drastically. They stopped abruptly, shouting, "Damn it, something's up! Stop!"
The large pursuing team halted just outside the black hole. Staring at the black hole, which was the size of a football field, everyone exchanged bewildered glances.
From the black hole, they felt an immensely powerful, devouring force. They had no doubt about the fate that awaited anyone who fell into it.
At this moment, Senior Brother Huang from Wudang Mountain stepped forward, sneering, "This is a spatial vortex described in ancient texts. It's said to connect to unknown places. Once you fall in, you'll never get out. This kid is dead for sure!"
"Spatial vortex?"
Upon hearing this, eyes widened in confusion. They had never heard of such a thing before.
However, that was not important. What mattered was the latter half of the sentence: once you fall in, you never get out. That was the crucial point.
"Damn it, that kid got off easy, dying like this! Damn it!"
"Yeah, he couldn't have died somewhere else. What a shame about that bead..."
The group sighed incessantly but knew there was nothing they could do. They all turned and left.
Of course, some persistent individuals remained by the cave entrance, hoping to see if Ye Feng and the others would emerge. However, after waiting for a short while, they gave up.
It seemed that not only would Ye Feng and the other not come out, but they likely wouldn't even leave behind any corpses!
At this time, the ancient space also began to shake violently. Seeing this, everyone understood that the ancient space was about to collapse. They all fled.
Seeing this, Chu Ling Er and the man in black looked displeased. They had already learned of Ye Feng's situation from those who returned and found it hard to believe.
Especially the man in black, who couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "Damn it, how could this happen? How could Young Master have encountered a spatial vortex!!"
He was also aware of spatial vortices, which typically appeared in various ancient spaces, though their occurrence was extremely rare.
Therefore, he never expected Ye Feng to have such terrible luck, encountering one on his very first entry into an ancient space.
However, with the ancient space collapsing, he could do nothing. He could only report the situation to the Qin family.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Qin and Ye Feng's father, Qin Ming, looked incredulous. Ye Feng's luck was truly unparalleled!
However, Old Master Qin quickly regained his composure and said solemnly, "Don't panic yet. According to ancient texts, a spatial vortex is not necessarily a death sentence."
"If the spatial vortex Ye Feng and the others fell into connects to a weaker area, he might have a chance to get out!"
Not all spatial vortices led to terrifying places. Some connected to areas that were significantly weaker compared to others.
Therefore, at this moment, they could only hope that Ye Feng had fallen into such a place.
However, even though they said this, everyone knew that the probability was extremely low.
This was because, according to ancient records, from ancient times to the present, there had been only one person who managed to escape from a spatial vortex...
"Little Feng is blessed by heaven. I believe he will come out!"
Old Master Qin's eyes gleamed as he said, "The immediate priority is to stabilize the situation. According to our calculations, the spiritual energy resurgence is imminent!!"
"More and more forces have begun to stir recently. Furthermore, according to news from the Dragon Court, it seems that many ancient sea races have already broken through their seals!!"
"What? Some ancient sea races have already broken through their seals?"
Upon hearing this, the Qin family members gasped, their faces grave.
Although their Great Qin family was one of the six great super-forces in Huaxia, and even stronger than ordinary super-forces, they were merely infants before the ancient sea races.
After all, their Qin family's heritage spanned only over two thousand years, while those ancient sea races were often thousands or tens of thousands of years old, far more ancient than them.
Therefore, once these ancient sea races broke their seals, their Qin family, as one of the six great super-forces, would be the first to bear the brunt.
However, at this moment, a Qin family elder comforted them, saying, "The Patriarch is right, but everyone need not worry too much. The Sea God left behind many guardians. With them around, it won't be easy for those ancient sea races to break through!"
Hearing this, many nodded and replied, "Yes, they are indeed families personally left behind by the Sea God. With them here, there is indeed some assurance..."
While the Qin family members were discussing, on the other side, in an unknown location, Ye Feng and Luo Bing Shuang looked at the scene before them with expressions of disbelief.
Before them lay a dim, low, and boundless world, filled with ruins and decay.
There was no sunlight, no human habitation, and no sign of life.
Most importantly, they couldn't feel even a trace of spiritual energy here, which was the most terrifying aspect.
"Where is this? Hell?" Ye Feng couldn't help but ask. Even though he considered himself to have strong mental fortitude, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Hearing this, Luo Bing Shuang also frowned. After a brief moment of thought, she slowly said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the legendary Silent Soul Land!!"
"Silent Soul Land?"
Ye Feng carefully repeated the name. For a long time, he had no idea what kind of place it was, but judging by the name and the current situation, it was clearly not simple!
At this moment, Luo Bing Shuang seemed to have some knowledge of this place and continued, "It is said that unlike us absorbing spiritual energy, the creatures here absorb a kind of deathly energy that is the opposite of spiritual energy!"
"Therefore, spiritual energy is difficult to retain here, which is why it is also called the Withered Spirit Land. It would be best if you don't use your spiritual power later, as it might cause trouble!"
Luo Bing Shuang whispered her advice. It was evident that she knew quite a bit, which also made Ye Feng curious about her identity.
However, this was not the time to ask. At this moment, a red glow of fire appeared ten meters in front of them!!
"What is this..."
Ye Feng was greatly alarmed. Before he could investigate, in the next second, several more red lights appeared around them, accompanied by a chilling grinding sound.
Ye Feng's heart trembled. He couldn't help but think, "Damn it, what an unpleasant sound. Are these things the creatures Luo Bing Shuang mentioned?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fiery lights around them suddenly leaped towards the two of them. When they reached within three meters, Ye Feng could finally see the appearance of these fiery lights....
