"What happened?"

Inside the supernatural space, everyone witnessed this scene.

Upon seeing the pillar of light, Ye Liangchen quickly got up and put his clothes back on.

No fewer than seven hundred people had gathered near the pillar of light.

Most of these people were from the Zhenyuan Division.

The rest of the people were from the four major academies.

Ye Liangchen walked towards the crowd, his mind filled with doubt.

At this moment, a member of the Zhenyuan Division stepped forward and said, "The appearance of this pillar of light is too strange; it probably hides a huge secret or danger." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Amidst the cacophony of voices, everyone harbored their own thoughts and speculations. In this tense moment, someone suddenly shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Impossible! This is definitely the entrance to the treasure! Everyone, don't hesitate, rush forward!" The man's voice was like a thunderclap, instantly igniting the flames of desire in everyone's hearts. For a moment, their eyes gleamed with a mixture of greed and anticipation, as if endless wealth and power were hidden behind that mysterious pillar of light.

However, just as everyone was getting restless, the Zhenyuan Division remained calm and continued to shout, "Everyone, do not act impulsively! This could very well be an elaborate trap!" They tried to use reason to dissuade those whose eyes were blinded by greed, but to little avail. Nevertheless, a considerable number of people could not suppress their impulses and began to cautiously approach the pillar of light.

Standing at the back of the crowd, Ye Liangchen frowned deeply, a sense of foreboding washing over him. He stared at the pillar of light before him, thinking to himself: This matter is probably not as simple as it seems. Just as he was pondering this, the first brave adventurer reached out and gently touched the pillar of light. But what happened next left everyone speechless.

Contrary to expectations, the man did not gain immense power. Instead, he suddenly let out a piercing scream. Then, as if corroded by an invisible, evil energy, his body withered rapidly before their very eyes. In mere moments, his once vibrant life had turned into a shriveled corpse lying on the ground.

The terrifying scene was like a nightmare, causing many people to back away in fear. Fear spread through the crowd, and the once noisy scene suddenly fell silent. But Ye Liangchen, with his extraordinary insight, keenly noticed some unusual details—as the unfortunate man's body withered, a faint light seemed to flow quietly within the pillar of light, extending deeper into the distance.

"What...what exactly is going on?" someone asked in a trembling voice, their face full of fear and confusion.

"Everyone, please don't make any more rash moves! This is clearly not the entrance to any treasure!" the Zhenyuan Division shouted a warning.

At the same time, the mysterious pillar of light began to slowly expand, emitting an even more dazzling light that enveloped everything around it.

The beam of light slowly unfolded, and then stabilized completely.

"It seems things have stabilized."

Ye Liangchen noticed that the surrounding supernatural energy had also become stable.

"What exactly is going on?"

Should we go in or not?

"Let's wait and see."

Wu Yuze looked at the portal, and a robot appeared in his hand.

The robot was quickly thrown into the beam of light, and surprisingly, it encountered no obstacles.

"Oh my god, look! The beam of light has stabilized."

"Don't rush, let's see what those big families do."

After looking at each other, Wu Yuze and Leng Yichen nodded.

The two led the students inside.

Upon seeing Xuanwu Academy's actions, Zhuque Academy followed suit.

Meanwhile, the Azure Dragon Academy and the White Tiger Academy also began to enter.

Upon seeing this, the members of the Zhenyuan Division slowly entered.

The moment they entered, the surrounding sky became lifeless, and there was absolutely no supernatural energy here.

Clearly, in the early stages here, once the primal energy of one's supernatural abilities is depleted, it cannot be replenished.

Everyone present could feel the desolation of the place.

Because it's surrounded by desert, it feels soft and yielding underfoot.

And this is the most realistic situation.

The fierce winds continued to sweep across everything around them.

There's absolutely no sign of treasure here.

A group of people searched here for a long time and found that there was nothing but sand.

"Holy crap, this is practically uninhabitable for a human."

"Exactly, now we don't even know how to leave."

...

This also confirms the saying that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

"Brother Liangchen, have you discovered anything?"

Ye Liangchen shook his head, indicating that he hadn't found anything significant.

"I haven't found anything, but I feel that the sky here is very unusual."

After examining the sand with his heterochromatic eyes, Ye Liangchen found nothing unusual about it.

The sky, on the other hand, looked very different.

The sky here is shrouded by an invisible force, making it impossible to see through.

Time continued to flow slowly.

One day, two days, three days.

After nearly five days, a group of people were trapped on this side of the desert.

Logically, they should be teleported away from here.

But now they are still here, and their watches have lost their original function.

The problem now is not just leaving, but survival.

Although martial artists can use their supernatural abilities to resist hunger, the amount of water they lose is something no one could have predicted.

"We're doomed, are we going to be trapped here and die?"

"Damn it, don't say discouraging things to me here."

"I'm not saying this to sound pessimistic, but this is just how it is."

...

The unease and restlessness gradually escalated into rage.

But now everyone is starting to lose their minds.

Everyone became very cautious.

Especially the food and water in your own hands.

Many people began to disperse.

After all, if they gather together, there will only be one outcome: a fight.

Everyone scattered, and no one trusted the people around them.

Meanwhile, on Ye Liangchen's side, Su Yao's bracelet was like a treasure chest, providing supplies at any time.

And it was the first time he had ever felt that being a kept man could be so enjoyable.

However, he absolutely cannot give up, otherwise, relying on his current situation, he will be completely looked down upon.

He has been keeping a close eye on the sky these past few days.

After all, the strangest thing about this place is the sky.

He took a deep breath and focused his attention on observing the sky again. Suddenly, he noticed that the fluctuations of that invisible force in the sky seemed to follow a certain pattern.
