Chapter 574: The Inner Palace
It was only upon nearing the altar that they truly realized how massive it was. The thick, undispersed aura of bloodlust radiated in vivid crimson, almost indistinguishable from real blood, stirring terror in the heart.
Even if not for the ancient barriers, few would dare step into that blood-drenched aura.
After passing through the Immortal Tomb, they encountered several more treacherous regions. However, none were as fearsome as the ghost king lurking in the Immortal Tomb.
That tomb was likely the most dangerous trial. Once through it, the hazards that followed could be overcome by a Golden Core cultivator with sufficient caution.
Along the way, they also came across some peculiar ancient arrays that forced them to act alone, scattering their array.
Fortunately, Dongyang Bo had prepared special spirit talismans and artifacts in advance, which allowed Qin Sang and the others to pass through those challenges safely.
Dongyang Bo and Chenyan had a single, clear goal: the inner palace.
Anything else along the way held no interest for them. They didn’t spare a glance for the flickering lights or hidden realms they passed, rushing ahead at full speed.
Qin Sang was naturally delighted by this.
The faster Dongyang Bo moved, the sooner they would enter the inner palace, and the fewer competitors there would be when it came time to harvest the Purple Cloud Fruit. Golden Core cultivators simply couldn't match Dongyang Bo’s pace.
The downside, of course, was that Wandering Man would be left further behind.
Qin Sang could only hope that the time held within the wooden bracelet would last long enough for Wandering Man to catch up.
