Chapter 766 The Only Way Out!

The Dragon Girl's words were like a bucket of ice water poured over everyone's heads.

At that moment, everyone wore expressions of disbelief.

They had thought this place was a treasure trove, containing immense opportunities and good fortune.

Little did I know that this was actually a shocking conspiracy orchestrated by someone else.

Those cultivators who are still fighting for treasures in the distance will probably never understand until their deaths that what they are fighting so hard for is nothing more than death warrants.

"In the sixth and seventh generations... countless geniuses perished each time..."

Luo Dao murmured, his voice trembling, "How many people has that person behind it all killed?"

The Dragon Girl said, "The sixth or seventh incarnation is just the number of recorded events; there may be more, after all, countless eras have passed from the ancient times to this era..."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yichen couldn't help but grip the magical artifact in his hand tighter. He looked up at Shi Hao and asked, "Brother Shi Hao, what should we do now? We can't just wait here to die, can we?"

Shi Hao didn't answer, but instead looked up at the God-Slaying Stone: "Can you continue to deduce a way out?"

The God-Slaying Stone circled in the air a few times before replying after a long while: "The layout of this evil nest is too complicated. I can only deduce a general location, but more information is needed to tell you exactly how to get there."

Shi Yi activated his double pupils and scanned the surrounding void, then pointed to an ancient door on the right: "There might be a way out hidden there. We can try to take that path..."

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing and saw that the ancient gate was completely black, covered with dense runes, and emitted a cold, eerie light.

However, a faint sliver of light could be seen shining through the crack in the door.

But more than anything, there was a chilling sense of dread.

"That road is dangerous."

The God-Slaying Stone chimed in, "I can sense that there is an extremely terrifying killing formation behind that door. If we want to get through, we will probably have to pay a heavy price."

Shi Hao frowned and asked, "Can we go around it?"

The God-Slaying Stone shook his head: "There's no way around it. This is the only way out. Although the person behind the scenes has set up a trap, they won't completely block all exits. There's always a glimmer of hope... This door is dangerous, but it's not a death trap."

Shi Yi nodded: "That stone is right. Although the restrictions on this door are powerful, they are not insurmountable. With so many of us working together, we should be able to force our way through..."

"—Whoosh!"

"—Whoosh!!"

"——Swish swish!!!"

As soon as Shi Yi finished speaking, a rustling sound came from nearby.

Shi Hao and the others turned their heads warily and saw more than a dozen figures suddenly fly out from the surrounding shadows.

Those people were all quite strong, and they all had more or less scars on their bodies, clearly survivors who had escaped from various parts of the monster's lair.

The leader was a tall, slender young man.

The other person had a handsome face and carried a longbow that gleamed brightly on his back.

It was the ancient freak, Chang Gongyan.

"Chang Gongyan?"

"He's here too..."

"It is said that he was unparalleled in four eras, and his strength was second only to Ning Chuan, the six-time champion..."

"Great! Chang Gongyan is here, the one with double pupils is here, and so is Huang. With them here, we are saved!"

Chang Gongyan ignored the gazes of those around him and walked straight to Shi Yi, Shi Hao, and the others. He then said politely, "I came in a little earlier than you and also discovered the problem here a little earlier. Since everyone wants to leave here alive, let's join forces. There's strength in numbers, which is better than one person trying to force their way in."

Shi Yi turned around and glanced at Shi Hao.

Shi Hao nodded, indicating his tacit approval.

"Alright, let's join forces then..."

Shi Hao looked at Chang Gongyan and said bluntly, "However, let me make this clear beforehand: the killing formation behind this door is extremely dangerous. No one knows what we will encounter. If anyone has ill intentions and wants to stab us in the back, don't blame me for being impolite."

Chang Gongyan said firmly, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I, Chang Gongyan, am not that kind of person. We are all in the same boat now. Getting out alive is more important than anything else."

The others nodded silently in agreement, indicating their support for Chang Gongyan's suggestion.

Then, without further ado, everyone walked to the ancient gate.

Shi Yi and the God-Slaying Stone joined forces to continuously deduce the restrictions on the door, searching for a way to break them.

Chang Gongyan took down his longbow from his back and nocked a golden arrow, ready to strike at any moment.

Seeing this, the others also took out their magical artifacts, adopting a posture of being ready for battle.

"Are you ready?"

Shi Yi looked at Shi Hao and asked. Shi Hao gripped the Void Battle Halberd tightly, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's do it!"

"Okay, let's get started!"

Shi Yi let out a low shout, his double pupils shone brightly, and two golden beams shot out from his eyes, striking the ancient gate directly.

"Looks like I'll have to make my move this time too."

The God-Slaying Stone also roared forward, injecting streams of destructive power into the restriction.

At the same time.

Shi Hao, Chang Gongyan, Long Nu, Qian Renxue, and others also made their moves, unleashing a barrage of magical techniques and artifacts at the ancient gate.

"--boom!"

"—Boom!!"

"—BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

A deafening roar spread out.

The runes on the ancient gate suddenly began to flash violently.

The ancient gate began to tremble, as if it would shatter at any moment.

But soon, a terrifying force of recoil suddenly surged out from the door, rippling outwards like a raging storm.

"--puff!"

The first few original members who charged at the front were the first to be hit by the recoil force. Their bodies exploded instantly, turning into clouds of blood mist, without even having time to let out a scream.

"Back up, back up quickly..."

Shi Hao sensed something was wrong and quickly reminded everyone to evacuate.

At the same time, he quickly swung his Void Halberd, creating a golden light barrier in front of him to block the subsequent recoil.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the others retreated several thousand meters.

However, although they survived, their faces turned extremely pale.

No one expected that the restrictions on that ancient gate would be so terrifying.

More than a dozen of the first-generation prodigies couldn't even withstand a single blow and died on the spot.

"Such a powerful calamity of heaven and earth."

Chang Gongyan frowned as he looked at the ancient gate, his face full of shock.

Shi Yi carefully observed the ancient gate and said in a deep voice, "Although the restrictions on this gate are powerful, they are not invincible. That attack just now has consumed a lot of its power. If we try again, we should be able to break it."

"That's what I think too."

Shi Hao nodded, then looked at everyone again: "Everyone, this time let's not hold back, let's attack with all our might."

The others hesitated for a moment, but quickly unleashed their Noble Phantasms again.

This time, they learned their lesson and instead of rushing in all at once, they kept their distance and attacked the ancient gate simultaneously from different directions.

Shi Hao, Shi Yi, Long Nu, and Chang Gongyan stood at the front, responsible for the main attack.

Qian Renxue, Qin Hao, Luo Dao, Lan Yichen, Hong Huang, and others assisted from the sidelines.

"Let's do it!"

With Shi Hao's command.

Everyone unleashed their strongest special techniques and treasures.

"—BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

Amidst a deafening roar, the runes on the ancient gate began to flash wildly and burst forth with dazzling light.

The door trembled violently, and the light shining through the cracks grew stronger and stronger.

Finally, under the combined attack of everyone, the ancient gate shattered and turned into countless fragments.

"The door is open!"

Someone shouted with delight and rushed inside immediately!

Seeing this, the others quickly followed suit.

Qin Hao and the others wanted to rush in as well, but Shi Hao stopped them.
