Chapter 152: Graveyard Of Souls And Countless Beasts!!!
The moment Kranos stepped through the Celestial Soul Gate, it felt as though he had plunged into another world entirely. The world behind them, the cracked sky, the ruins, the crowd, vanished like an illusion being wiped clean.
A world of utter silence greeted them.
The air felt thick. There was no breeze, no noise, or scent. It was as if even time itself refused to move forward in this place.
Beneath their feet was an obsidian black soil that stretched endlessly in every direction. There was no sky above their heads, only a vast, oppressive darkness that seemed to pulse with life.
"Where... are we?" Kevin asked, his voice trembling while glancing in Kathryn’s direction.
Kathryn looked around solemnly. "A pocket dimension within the Divine Grave. The true trial is ahead. We should quicken our pace."
Just as her words faded, the land beneath them trembled. Cracks ran through the ground, spreading like spiderwebs before erupting with golden light.
A towering obsidian monument rose from the earth, etched with runes that shifted unpredictably and burned with a celestial light.
Then, the voice returned.
"The Trial of Echoing Sins begins. Let your souls be weighed."
Without warning, spectral chains erupted from the monument and shot toward the cultivators scattered across the field.
Sensing the danger, some of them dodged, while others were too slow. The chains wrapped around several unprepared cultivators and dragged them screaming into the air, then into the monument itself, where they were quickly turned to ash.
