Chapter 582: Chapter 576: Sudden Change

"Ye Xuan, how do you know the Demon Clan’s script? Could it be that you also have Demon Clan bloodline?"

After a brief moment of astonishment, Ximen Ying also asked somewhat surprisingly.

"No. I’ve only studied it a little before," Ye Xuan shook his head.

"I see."

Ximen Ying nodded; he didn’t have much suspicion. People who knew the Demon Clan’s script were not particularly rare on the Spirit Martial Continent, and in his mind, Ye Xuan definitely came from some superpower, which made it even less astonishing.

Those top forces on the Spirit Martial Continent even had dealings with the Evil Domain, albeit these interactions were typically very secretive and rarely known to the outside world.

"The problem now is, even though we know what this place is, we still have no way to enter," Qian Wuchen frowned and said.

"It’s not entirely impossible."

Ye Xuan’s gaze landed on the other side of the stone door, where dense Demon Clan script was also engraved, "It’s written here that there’s a way to get inside."

"Oh? What is it?"

Upon hearing this, Ximen Ying and Qian Wuchen were overjoyed. It seemed that bringing Ye Xuan was indeed the right choice; otherwise, no matter how much they struggled, they would likely never uncover this tomb’s mystery.

"This method requires cooperation between Master Qian and me."

Ye Xuan quickly scanned the information on the door, then revealed a thoughtful expression, "It says here that this gateway needs strong soul power as a key to open. I’ve just used my soul power to probe, and inside the keyhole, there is a soul slot that needs to be filled with soul power in order to trigger the Prohibition mechanisms."

"What are we waiting for then?"

Qian Wuchen immediately stepped forward. A Demon Clan’s tomb surely contained many treasures, and there might even be some of the notorious Demon flames as well.

"I’ll input my soul power first, you follow closely after."

Without further ado, Ye Xuan started to stimulate his soul power and injected it into the keyhole in streams, and Qian Wuchen did the same in a similar fashion.

Minutes later, the keyhole suddenly lit up, yet the light fluctuated, weak and strong, resembling fireflies.

"Increase the strength!"

Ye Xuan suddenly shouted, and then his forehead trembled. The next moment, with the continuous infusion of soul power, the light from the keyhole began to spread in all directions, clearly activating the patterns on the stone door.

A strange spatial fluctuation suddenly permeated the area.

"What a hassle."

Ye Xuan felt the strain, but they were just a bit short of completely filling the slot.

"Master Qian!"

He shouted again at Qian Wuchen, whose face changed, and then he suddenly released a mighty fluctuation from his entire body. The soul power of both men merged, and in the next moment, the tomb in front of them started to stir abruptly.

Boom!

A thunderous noise suddenly erupted, and from above the tomb, a highly imposing black beam burst forth, breaking through the constraints of the subterranean mineral veins, shattering the ground, and shooting toward the sky.

The commotion was immense, and within hundreds of miles around the entire Tianming mines, everyone could see the black pillar of light shooting straight into the sky, shaken by the scene.

Instantly, within hundreds of miles, there erupted a burst of uproar.

"What is this, could it be that some heavenly treasure has appeared?"

"It doesn’t look like it. This scene rather seems like some ancient ruins have surfaced!"

"What are we waiting for then, let’s go!"

One after another, figures dashed toward the location of the Tianming mines like bolts of lightning.

"This isn’t good; we’ve probably alarmed quite a number of people."

Ximen Ying’s face looked somewhat unsightly. The anomaly just now had broken the mine’s confines, burst through the ground, and surely alerted many powerful individuals. Apparently, many were already rushing here at full speed.

After the infusion of soul power continued for about a few minutes, the groove finally filled up, and with a "buzz," all the patterns on the door lit up, followed by a crack appearing.

"It’s open!"

Joy appeared on Ximen Ying’s face. Once they entered the tomb, he would immediately seal the area. Even if others were alerted, he had to make sure they couldn’t find it easily.

Buzz!

The black pillar of light continued to erupt, the six-pointed star emitted strong energy fluctuations. The energy was terrifying, and as the six-pointed star was fully activated, the stone gate in front of everyone blasted open, revealing an energy vortex inside, which crazily spun, swallowing everything from outside.

Caught off guard, at least half of the people were sucked into the energy vortex. Inside the stone door, it seemed like a black hole, and what was on the other side of the black hole, no one knew.

"What’s going on?"

Ximen Ying forcibly stabilized his form, which saved him from being sucked into the vortex, but nearly a dozen experts from the Ximen family were almost all sucked in.

"This place isn’t an ancient tomb; it’s the Demon Clan’s Soul Altar!"

Ye Xuan’s face also shifted, only realizing the true nature of this place after opening the door — it wasn’t some Demon Clan warrior’s tomb, but a Soul Altar!

A so-called Soul Altar was an outpost established by the saints of the Demon Clan on Spirit Martial Continent, serving as a bridge and channel connecting the Evil Domain and Spirit Martial Continent. However, even Ye Xuan didn’t know what a Soul Altar precisely looked like, and in his carelessness, had been deceived by the disguise.

Ye Xuan had completely transformed into his dragon form, his dragon wings beating rapidly, trying to escape the pull of the force. Likewise, Ximen Ying and Qian Wuchen were doing their utmost, not wanting to be pulled into this evil, unknown force. But the vortex’s sucking power was too strong; even if Ye Xuan and the others used all their means, they could only delay being sucked in, which was ultimately futile.

However, not only underneath this vein, but in the sky above the mines as well, a huge black vortex had also appeared, crazily devouring everything from the outside.

And the powerful individuals who had eagerly rushed here were also suddenly caught by this suction force, rendered unable to move.

"What’s going on? I can’t control my body!"

"There’s something fishy, let’s go!"

Realizing something was amiss, those figures hastily tried to withdraw, attempting to escape the area.

However, trying to leave at this time was obviously a bit too late. The energy vortex, like a giant mouth of emptiness, crazily sucked everything in, pulling in all the strong individuals within a hundred miles. The screams and cries gradually faded away.

The entire area returned to silence, as if nothing had ever happened.
