1193: Chapter 1186: The Ferocious Beast Breaking Free from the Stone Pillar 1193: Chapter 1186: The Ferocious Beast Breaking Free from the Stone Pillar The ancient and enduring oppressive force on the plaque was incessant.
Wave after wave of powerful impact permeated into the bodies of Ye Chenfeng and the other four, as if their internal organs were about to be shattered.
Ye Chenfeng quickly gathered his wits and shouted, “Avert your gaze from the plaque immediately.”
Ye Chenfeng was the first to turn around.
The moment he turned, the oppressive force vanished without a trace.
Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s shout, Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, and the other three also turned around, their faces beaded with fine sweat, gasping slightly in their throats.
With lingering fears, Cheng Dahhu swallowed saliva and asked, “Chenfeng, what exactly happened just now?
Are we now under the depths of the sea?”
Ye Chenfeng nodded and said, “We should be under the sea, let’s go see how Hu Jie is doing?” Ye Chenfeng walked towards the shattered cruise ship not far away, and when they found Hu Jie amongst the yacht’s debris, Hu Jie had long since stopped breathing and died, prompting Ye Chenfeng to sigh in sorrow.
After seeing Hu Jie’s corpse, Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, and the others couldn’t help but show a look of grief on their faces.
After a moment, Shen Mingxuan composed himself and said, “Chenfeng, the dead cannot be brought back to life.
This place is not safe to stay for long.
We came here to confront the three emperors of the Heavenly Alliance, only to be inexplicably swept into this place.
We should hurry and find a way to leave!”
Ye Chenfeng looked back at the palace, but this time, he did not focus on the plaque.
Many parts of the palace’s exterior appeared to be very dilapidated.
Recalling the oppressive force from the plaque just now, Ye Chenfeng’s brow furrowed ever tighter.
If he had not averted his gaze in time, he could almost be certain that he would have been blasted to death by that lingering oppressive force.
Ye Chenfeng is a distinguished early-stage Emperor Level powerhouse, comparable to the peak of Emperor Level fighters.
To think that he couldn’t even withstand an oppressive force of unknown age—it was utterly damn infuriating.
This involuntarily brought to mind the White Shadow Person and Black Shadow Person from his Illusory Realm.
If a mere plaque was this dangerous, the perils within the palace were undoubtedly even greater.
Glancing at the sea water isolated above his head, he said, “Alright, let’s leave this place as quickly as possible.”
As he said this, Ye Chenfeng forcefully propelled off the ground with his legs, his body gathering the early-stage Emperor Level Soul Force.
With his strength, he should have been able to easily leap into the sea water.
However, this jump barely reached a height of a little over one meter.
When Ye Chenfeng landed, his face became extremely solemn.
The moment his body reached about one meter in height, he felt an instant, unnatural heaviness, as if a mountain was pressing down on him, brutally forcing his body back down to the ground.
Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, and the others didn’t feel any pressure and, seeing Ye Chenfeng only leap a little over one meter, Cheng Dahhu couldn’t help but say, “Chenfeng, what’s wrong with you?
Now is not the time for jokes.”
Ye Chenfeng’s expression shifted with uncertainty.
If it was not possible to directly jump into the sea water above their heads, then there was definitely no other way to leave.
Their only choice would be to enter the palace to find a way out, which was not what Ye Chenfeng wanted to see.
“Dahhu, try jumping with all your strength,” Ye Chenfeng said without much explanation.
Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, and the other three knew that Ye Chenfeng had a reason for saying this.
So, they surged with Soul Force in their bodies and suddenly leaped upwards.
The height of their jumps was even more deplorable than Ye Chenfeng’s, none of them reaching even one meter.
“Damn it, how could I feel like a massive force shoved me back to the ground just now?
This place is truly bizarre.
A damn plaque alone could shake us to the point of vomiting blood, and now there’s not even a way to leave this place,” Cheng Dahhu cursed out loud.
Among the five, apart from Ye Chenfeng, it was Shen Mingxuan who had the calmest mind.
After looking at Ye Chenfeng, he spoke, “Chenfeng, it seems it’s not going to be easy to leave this place.
It seems impossible to just jump into the sea above us now.
We have no choice but to enter the palace and find a way to leave.”
Although Shen Mingxuan appeared very calm on the surface, the speed of his speech betrayed some impatience within him; after all, they had come to deal with the Three Emperors, yet before even reaching Emperor Island, they were trapped in this wretched place—how could Shen Mingxuan not feel anxious?
“Mhm!” Ye Chenfeng responded, then said, “That’s exactly what I’m thinking—we need to leave this place as soon as possible.
The only way out is to enter the palace.
As long as we don’t look at that plaque, we shouldn’t be attacked by that oppressive force.”
Ye Chenfeng took the lead, confidently striding toward the palace gate.
Once he had made up his mind about something, there would be no hesitation from Ye Chenfeng.
As for Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, and the others, upon seeing Ye Chenfeng heading towards the palace, they quickly followed his pace.
The palace gates were over four meters tall; these wooden doors had already begun showing signs of decay.
Ye Chenfeng, with eyes fixed straight ahead and ignoring the plaque above, took a deep breath and placed his hands on the two doors.
With a “creak,”
Ye Chenfeng slowly pushed open the two doors, and he along with the others entered the palace.
The interior of the palace was extremely spacious and bright throughout.
Above the palace were embedded massive crystal stones emitting light.
On both the left and right sides of the palace stood five stout stone pillars, each intricately carved with fierce beasts of various forms—creatures Ye Chenfeng, Shen Mingxuan, and the others had never before encountered.
Ye Chenfeng and the others approached the first column on the left, which depicted a bizarre creature with the body of a lion and wings.
Cheng Dahhu, with great interest, touched the stone pillar and remarked, “The strange creatures carved on this pillar are so lifelike it’s as if they could break free at any moment.”
Just as Cheng Dahhu’s words fell, the expressions of Ye Chenfeng and the other four underwent a drastic change because it seemed as if the bizarre creatures engraved on the pillar had just moved.
Ye Chenfeng looked towards Shen Mingxuan and the others and asked, “Did you all see that, too?”
Shen Mingxuan and the others were all nodding, their faces filled with utter shock; this was completely beyond their understanding.
“So it’s not an illusion,” Ye Chenfeng said gravely as he continued: “Let’s move back first.”
Just as Ye Chenfeng, Shen Mingxuan, and the others had retreated seven or eight steps, the first pillar on the left suddenly burst into an extremely dazzling golden light.
Subsequently, the bizarre and fierce beasts carved on the pillar came to life, one by one breaking free from their stone confines.
Soon, ten creatures with the bodies of lions and wings were all liberated from the pillar.
As the ten strange creatures escaped, the stout pillar on the left quickly developed dense cracks, and with a “boom!” the entire pillar collapsed.
The size of these ten bizarre creatures was much larger than that of lions, around three meters in length and two meters in height, with red wings slightly fluttering on each side.
A pair of eyes, as large as copper bells, stared unblinkingly at Ye Chenfeng and the others.
Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but clench his palms slightly.
These queer creatures exuded a terribly oppressive force, which, although much weaker than the force from the plaque outside, still made Ye Chenfeng feel suffocated.
He estimated that dealing with one of these strange creatures would be difficult enough, let alone ten.
Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, and the others were weaker than Ye Chenfeng, and their current state was thus much worse.
Cheng Dahhu’s breathing became very rapid.
Swallowing his saliva, he said, “Damn it, Chenfeng, what in the world is this place?”
