The man and the beast rushed towards the small door of the treasury without hesitation. Facing Zhongli Tingzhou who was blocking the way, their eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.
"Get lost!"
Zhongli Tingzhou then told them to go away, and with a light stroke of his sword, a space crack appeared silently.
Both the man and the beast were startled, but then they thought that this was a formation, and that this man had suddenly created a crack in space, which would make it easier for the formation to collapse.
The formation did shake a bit, but it did not collapse immediately.
"You hold him back, I'll go in and take a look." The human cultivator immediately said to the monster next to him.
The monster sneered, "Why don't you hold him back and let me go in and take a look?"
The two were not allies, so it was impossible for them to reach an agreement on this issue immediately, which bought Gao Han a lot of time.
In the treasury, Gao Han didn't expect that once the Yayoi Ring was completed, it would directly become a top-grade immortal weapon.
If the forbidden area was not in the space crack, the more severe nine-nine thunder tribulation would have come down long ago.
Outside the forbidden area that they didn't know about, a large thundercloud quickly gathered above the forbidden area. Thunder rumbled, and the extremely fierce lightning could be faintly seen.
The barrier set up by Atkins and his men nearby was quickly broken by the thundercloud.
A strange phenomenon appeared in the sky, and the monsters lurking in the mountains poked their heads out one after another.
The Yayoi Ring broke away from Gao Han's control and flew into the air. One could vaguely see some runes on it being reorganized.
Gao Han was not worried for the time being, as he could still feel a slight connection with the Yayoi Ring.
The Yayoi Ring had been in his body for decades and had long been contaminated with all of his aura. He and the Yayoi Ring had long been inseparable.
There were rumbling sounds coming from outside the door from time to time, but Gao Han ignored them, staring at the Yayoi Ring. Occasionally, he could feel the information fed back by the Yayoi Ring.
After a moment, the Yayoi Ring with the runes reorganized returned to his Dantian.
A huge amount of information directly hit his soul.
Gao Han put his spiritual sense deep into the ring and found that the small grids were gone. He was shocked and thought that everything was gone.
The next second I realized that although the small grid was gone, a huge space had appeared in the ring, like a small world.
"What's going on? Isn't this a storage space?"
Gao Han was also a little confused when he saw this small world.
This world has sky and land. It is not big, probably not even one billionth of the size of Lingtian Continent, but it is a world of its own. Under this world, there is a hillside, and on the hillside there is a thatched cottage.
Gao Han immersed his spiritual consciousness into the hut and found that except for some dead objects, all the things containing spiritual energy that he had stored in the ring were gone.
Including several boxes he had snatched from Wanxiandao, were also swallowed by this ring.
He tried to cover this space with his spiritual sense and found that his spiritual sense soon touched the edge of the small world.
After his cultivation level broke through, the range covered by his spiritual sense also became larger, but it was definitely not as big as the small world in the ring.
Gao Han had a feeling that he was a god in this small world. He could see every corner, every stone, every swaying weed, and the patterns on them clearly as long as he thought about it.
Although I don't know why the Yayoi ring became like this, this change is undoubtedly a good thing.
Gao Han's spiritual consciousness immediately withdrew from the Yayoi Ring, and suddenly paused.
Behind him, among the balls of light suspended in the air, one suddenly shot out like a meteor.
Gao Han thought it was an attack on him, but the light penetrated into his body so quickly that he couldn't react. His spiritual sense immediately captured it and it entered the Yayoi Ring.
He immediately checked the situation in the small world and found that there was no movement in the small world, and he didn't know where the light had gone.
"I haven't heard them say there's anything strange here before."
Gao Han couldn't figure out what it was, so he could only put it aside for the time being.
He tried to put some rare treasures and magical weapons into the small world. These things lay safely in the hut and were not decomposed by the small world in the ring.
After making sure there was no problem, he waved his hand and all the things in the treasure house were placed into the small world.
After he withdrew his spiritual consciousness and closed the small world, a faint shadow appeared in the small world, looking up at the white sky in the haze.
Boom! The door of the treasure house opened with a loud noise.
"The door is open!"
The people besieging Zhongli Tingzhou suddenly discovered that the door to the treasury had moved, and they attacked more vigorously.
Originally there were only one man and one beast, but during this period of time, the number increased to four.
In order to prevent them from breaking into the treasure house and disturbing Gao Han's weapon refining, Zhongli Tingzhou suffered some injuries.
Zhongli Tingzhou's figure was shocked and retreated more than ten steps to the side. The two strong men seized this opportunity and immediately rushed towards the door of the treasure house.
At this moment, a small golden bell flew out from behind the door, and quickly grew hundreds of times larger, covering the two people rushing in front, and everything in front of them was suddenly dark.
"Not good!" The two immediately attacked the bell that covered them.
The sound of "dong dong dong" continued to be heard, but the bell covering them could not be broken.
The two of them panicked, "What is this thing? Why can't we break it open?"
"The Anti-Emperor Bell!" People outside who saw the bell were shocked.
The Nihuang Bell was very famous during the great war between the immortals. Any strong person with a little experience has heard of this bell.
It is said that the defense of this bell is extremely amazing. It can not only defend, but also trap people. The cultivation of people trapped in this bell will be suppressed by half.
"This kind of treasure must be a hidden treasure of the Sky-Swallowing Beast Tribe!"
Not only did these people not retreat, their eyes became even more fiery and greedy.
Money is a powerful thing. To them, magic weapons and natural treasures are just like money. Even if it threatens their lives, it is worth fighting for.
What's more, the person blocking the way is only at the Spirit Transformation Stage.
They dare to fight with those in the fusion stage, let alone those in the spirit transformation stage.
The fight here soon attracted people nearby, and more and more people attacked the formation. Those puppets could only stop those in the Spirit Transformation Stage, but could not stop those in the Fusion Stage at all.
The white crane at the center of the formation spat out a mouthful of blood, and it seemed that his internal organs were severely damaged. He quickly notified the important people in the area.
"Gao Han and the other two are being besieged. Go and help them."
"I can't get away right now." Xuan Xiao's voice was very brief and disappeared after a while.
His opponents already numbered as many as ten, all of whom were in the Spirit Transformation Stage. They were not very strong, but as their numbers grew, he almost couldn't hold on.
"I'll go." Zhongdi gave up looking for the Green Flame Python and immediately moved towards the treasure house.
At the same time, Gao Han pulled Zhongli Tingzhou and immediately rushed into another formation.
Everyone didn't chase after them, but rushed into the treasury, leaving the Nihuang Bell outside.
It was obvious that the Nihuang Bell already had an owner. Even if they wanted the Nihuang Bell, they had to kill its owner first. It would be better for them to get the things in the treasury first and then hunt down Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou.
"Bai He, move the Nihuang Bell over here." Gao Han immediately said to Bai He who was watching the battle.
Bai He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were safe, "Okay."
Then he notified Zhongdi and asked him to help Xuan Xiao first.
The Anti-Emperor Bell was quickly transferred to Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou.
"You bastards, let us out now!" The people in the Nihuang Bell were still attacking.
"How do you feel now?" Zhongli Tingzhou grabbed Gao Han's arm and asked hurriedly.
"I'm fine now. The ring has been repaired. It's just that something unexpected happened. I'll tell you after it's resolved." Gao Han asked again, "When I was refining the Phoenix Feather, did you absorb the rest of the Phoenix True Fire?"
Zhongli Tingzhou directly took out the Yin-Yang Pearl. The positive side was burning with raging flames at this moment. Because he could not absorb this extremely strong and positive flame, he kept it in the Yin-Yang Pearl.
"Let's see if there is a solution after we get out." Gao Han glanced at the Nihuang Bell.
"Try to see if you can get the Phoenix True Fire into the Nihuang Bell."
Zhongli Tingzhou looked at the Nihuang Bell with a hint of coldness in his eyes, "Of course."
The two people who were attacking the Nihuang Bell suddenly saw a light in front of them.
"It's open!" The two rushed over immediately.
At this moment, a ball of fire suddenly rushed in from the light.
The monster running in front hurriedly retreated, but was still touched by the flames. He screamed in pain and his eyes were filled with fear.
What kind of fire is this? Even his soul can feel the pain.
A large amount of flames filled the Nihuang Bell, and the temperature inside the bell rose rapidly. An irresistible heat burned their souls.
"Let me out!" The man and the beast were terrified. If they continued like this, they would be burned to death.
The two people outside the Nihuang Bell were indifferent. If they were released, they would immediately come over to kill them and rob the treasures.
After the body was burned, only the soul remained. The two souls screamed in pain. There was an endless sea of fire everywhere around them. No matter where they escaped, they would not be able to escape.
At this moment, a cool breath came from the sea of fire. The two souls had been burned to the point of losing their minds and rushed forward regardless of anything.
As long as it can relieve the pain of their soul, they are willing to do anything.
Not until they were swallowed by darkness did they finally show expressions of relief.
Even though he was dead, at least he no longer had to suffer torture and torment.
"Their souls were absorbed by the Yin-Yang Pearl?" Gao Han could sense everything that happened in the Nihuang Bell, and also noticed the darkness that swallowed up the souls.
"I discovered it by accident. I don't know what's going on, but every time I absorb one person, I can feel my power getting stronger." Zhongli Tingzhou said.
"Don't use it in front of others next time." It would be troublesome if someone thought you were doing something evil.
They are not afraid of trouble, but they cannot bear the consequences for the Zixiao Sect.
"Don't worry. Ordinary people can't notice it. The Yin-Yang Pearl absorbed two people before, and no one else reacted at all." Zhongli Tingzhou replied.
"I didn't expect that the Nihuang Bell is here with you." Bai He only noticed the existence of the Nihuang Bell now.
"Do you know him?" Gao Han replied.
"I've heard that the Nihuang Bell is even more heaven-defying than the Zhentian Stele. It is a spiritual object that was born and raised by nature, not artificially refined."
"There is such a thing as spiritual creatures that are born and raised naturally?" Gao Han was surprised.
"Of course there are. However, with the collapse and disappearance of the fairy world, the intelligence of these spiritual creatures of heaven and earth also disappeared. It is said that they originally had intelligence."
"You seem to know a lot." Even though they had been to Wanxiandao, they still didn't understand this aspect.
"I know more than Chongdi and Xuanxiao, because I have read all the books in our clan." Bai He's voice was filled with a hint of pride.
At that time, Gao Han didn't understand how many books there were in their tribe. Later he found out that the pile of books was taller than a mountain.
Bai He's expression suddenly changed. "Those people came out. They didn't find the magic weapon. Now they are ready to break through the formation and find you to seize the treasure. They decided to join forces."
"Then let's take them all together." Zhongli Tingzhou shook the magic weapon in his hand, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"I may not be able to hold on for too long, maybe another half an hour at most." Bai He said bitterly. He originally thought that he could hold on for a few days until the young master came out of seclusion, but he didn't expect that in less than half a day, he was almost exhausted.
"Bai He, hold on, I'll replace you right away." Xuan Xiao responded immediately.
"No need. Even if you replace me, I won't be able to fight anymore. It's better to keep some fighting power." Bai He said firmly. He had never thought of changing people from the beginning.
"Those below the fusion stage are left to you." Gao Han's voice sounded.
"How can that be possible!" Zhongdi was the first to object.
He is at the fusion stage, so even if he cannot kill the foreign invaders, he will not die.
"What we need now is efficiency. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a lot of people rushing to the forbidden area now. We really don't have much time."
Gao Han asked Zhongli Lu Tingzhou to take a look with the Sky-peeping Mirror.
Amid the swaying shadows of the trees, countless figures came galloping from afar. The aura of the strong men disturbed the nearby animals, and they fled.
"Without the cultivators from Zixiao Sect, did Qin Changsheng not receive your paper crane?" Zhongli Tingzhou noticed that there were not many familiar faces among these people.
Gao Han looked at it for a while and shook his head. "No, that shouldn't be the case. I guess there might be something unusual going on over there, like demons attacking the city."
Once the demons launch an attack, those who are guarding the city cannot leave, otherwise the demons are likely to break out of the city and enter the Lingtian Continent, causing the dark days of the past to come again.
"It seems that the demons have been prepared for this. We are not safe here either." Gao Han frowned.
He thought further. Even if they killed everyone here, they would still be besieged when they went out, and they might face more than just strong men at the fusion stage or monarch level.
"Bai He, is there any way to close the forbidden area again?" Gao Han immediately contacted Bai He.
Bai He hesitated for a moment, "Yes, but it's very dangerous."
"Tell me about it."
Bai He took a deep breath and said, "There is only one way to close the forbidden area again. That is to throw the forbidden area into the space crack and enter the turbulence of time and space."
"Turbulence of time and space?" Gao Han thought of the situation when he and Zhongli Tingzhou came here.
At that time they also entered the space crack, but it was extremely dangerous there.
"Can the forbidden area withstand the impact of the space crack?" Zhongli Tingzhou asked calmly.
Bai He responded without hesitation: "Of course you can. You may not know that this forbidden area is actually a magic weapon from ancient times. It is also a spiritual object created by heaven and earth. It is called the Earth Emperor Star. Otherwise, the demon god would not dare to place the forbidden area in the space crack, but..."
"But what?" they both asked.
"The Earth Emperor Star has been in the space crack for countless years. The reason why it was easily breached this time was not due to the monster with eyes all over its body. In fact, it was because the Earth Emperor Star had been constantly consumed for countless years, which led to the breach of the Earth Emperor Star."
When talking about the Dihuang Star, Bai He had a hint of pride in his words. This is an unparalleled magic weapon.
"All spiritual treasures created by heaven and earth are supreme magic weapons."
"So, even if the Earth Emperor Star is a supreme magic weapon, it doesn't necessarily guarantee that we can safely reach another place after entering the space rift, right?"
Bai He hesitated for a moment, "If it's a short distance, it should be enough to support it."
"I don't recommend throwing the forbidden area back into another space crack. This is a very risky move. We haven't reached that step yet." The voice of Zhongdi rang in everyone's ears.
"I know, this is a last resort. Now is not the time when we can't bear it." Gao Han nodded.
He originally thought that the forbidden area of the Sky-Devouring Beast could withstand it here, and if it re-entered the space crack, it should be possible, so he made this suggestion.
"Let's deal with the people in the formation first, and then consider the situation outside the forbidden area." Zhongli Tingzhou waved the sword in his hand, full of murderous aura.
"Okay, Baihe, you don't need to take any action next. Just pay attention to the situation outside the forbidden area and notify us if there is anything abnormal." Gao Han reminded.
"Okay." After Bai He finished speaking, he released another pool of blood. This time the amount was larger. After the blood was absorbed by the formation, the formation that had been shaken by the blast quickly stabilized. His face was as pale as a piece of paper.
Everyone felt the stability of the formation and guessed that Bai He must have bled again, which made them more determined to fight a quick victory.
Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou discovered the existence of a group of demons with the help of the Sky-peeking Mirror.
Two monarch-level demons, with a dozen of their men, had chopped the puppets into pieces.
"Craig hasn't been seen yet. I suspect something might have happened to him." Bloom flew into the void and punched out, causing the void to shake.
"I hope he is really dead." Mond said coldly.
Once Craig dies, the person behind him will be able to sense it and come over immediately. They will be able to break this place and get what they want.
"If the Great Lord wants to show up, the human race will definitely not agree, so forget it." Bloom said indifferently.
Mond sneered, "That may not be the case. His time is coming to an end, and now all his descendants are dead. How can he not go crazy? Even the Mahayana cultivators of the human race may not be able to stop him."
"The Mahayana monks of the human race, when the emperor is resurrected, what will the Mahayana monks mean to you?" Bloom narrowed his eyes and said with disdain.
"The disciples from the major sects of the human race probably won't be able to make it this time. We have been preparing for this for a long time. The Great Lord said that it can at least hold back more than half of the powerful human race members."
At this moment, a huge golden bell suddenly fell from the sky and covered one of the demons.
The other demon's expression changed drastically, and he didn't even try to resist the attack. He just turned around and ran away.
"What is that? Break it for me!" The voice of Bloom, who was covered, came from inside.
As soon as Zhongli Tingzhou fell into this space, he chased after the fleeing Mond without saying a word.
Gao Han flew to the Nihuang Bell and rang it. Bloom inside was immediately shocked so much that his soul almost flew out.
"Let me ask you, are the demons really attacking the city?"
"Who are you?" Bloom's voice sounded mixed with shock and anger.
"Don't worry about who I am, answer my questions, otherwise you will die!" Gao Han said as he sent the wisp of Phoenix Fire in.
At once Bloom's voice roared in pain, "I say, I say."
The pain of the soul being burned was so unbearable. He had never seen such a fire. Before he was burned, his soul was already trembling.
"Tell me, I don't have patience!" Gao Han said coldly.
"The demons are indeed planning to attack the city. This time, in order to prevent the Mahayana cultivators of the human race from discovering the situation here, the demon army will attack nearby cities the day before we enter the forbidden area, leaving them no time to worry about the situation here."
"Just siege the city?" Gao Han let the fire continue to burn.
"Our great monarchs will also take action. A war will break out then, which will hold back the Mahayana masters of all major sects." Bloom's painful voice came out.
"Do you value the forbidden land of the Sky-Devouring Beast so much? Even a great monarch is involved? Do you think I will believe it?" Gao Han exclaimed.
Bloom was afraid of his flames and said quickly, "It's true. There are some things that even we monarchs are not qualified to know. Only demons above the level of Grand Monarch are qualified to know. I and the others are just following orders."
"Then wait until you have thought it through and then tell me." Gao Han continued to use the Phoenix True Fire to forge the other party's soul.
He has discovered that the Phoenix True Fire is different from other flames and directly targets the spirit and soul.
"I really don't know. If you let me go, I promise not to be your enemy."
After burning for a while, Gao Han saw that he really seemed to be unaware, so he stopped the Phoenix True Fire.
Inside the Nihuang Bell, Bloom's body has disappeared, leaving only a soul.
Gao Han put the bell away and went to find Zhongli Tingzhou.
The fighting there lasted for ten days, with the sky collapsing and the earth breaking. Mond broke into another formation, where there were other human cultivators, most of whom were in the God Transformation Stage.
Mond directly grabbed a monk who had reached the state of Divine Transformation, crushed his head in an instant, and swallowed his soul. He swallowed several of them in succession, and the dark aura on his body seemed to be substantial.
Mond, who was in great momentum, stopped running away and rushed towards Zhongli Tingzhou with his head raised and laughing.
Zhongli Tingzhou discovered that this person's cultivation had actually improved temporarily.
From the late monarch level, he was promoted to the great monarch level in an instant.
"Die!" A thick smoke was wrapped around Mond's right hand, and the smoke condensed into a trident, emitting a silver-black light, with a cold and eerie aura.
The black skull screamed and roared in the black fog, rushing towards Zhongli Tingzhou.
Zhongli Tingzhou swung his sword, and the fierce and domineering sword energy, like thousands of swords fired at the same time, rushed towards the opponent from all directions.
The sword energy quickly consumed some of the opponent's strength, while the rest continued to pounce on him, like a black hole that wanted to swallow him.
The Yin-Yang Pearl suddenly appeared in front of Zhongli Tingzhou, and the dark side suddenly emitted a strong black light.
A large number of black skulls pounced in front of Zhongli Tingzhou. A huge suction force sucked these black skulls in, and black light splashed.
In the blink of an eye, the black fog disappeared.
