I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Sect Leader Ye was extremely anxious, and the sect had already activated its highest level of alert.

However, he knew that facing such a level of change deep within the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, even an ordinary elder would likely face dire consequences, let alone find and bring back Ye Chuhan and Jizhou in a short period of time.

"No, I can't just wait here!"

A resolute glint flashed in Sect Master Ye's eyes; he had to go personally!

Even if it's just for the sake of providing support, we must get close enough!

With a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of azure light, bursting out of the sect's main hall, tearing through the clouds, and hurtling towards the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts at top speed!

He couldn't even wait to gather more people, and only brought two trusted elders who had followed him for many years and were highly skilled in cultivation.

However, when they rushed to the outskirts of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts and prepared to break in as usual, something unexpected happened!

"Om-!"

An invisible yet incredibly strong barrier appeared in front of us without warning!

Sect Master Ye reacted extremely quickly, stopping abruptly just before the collision. However, the immense spiritual power he carried rubbed violently against the barrier, unleashing a blinding light and a muffled roar!

"This is... a barrier?!" Sect Master Ye's expression changed drastically. He reached out and carefully touched the void in front of him.

A cold yet solid touch came from my fingertips, as if I were pressing against an invisible barrier of divine iron!

With his cultivation level, which was enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, he couldn't even budge it in the slightest!

This barrier is enormous, like an inverted giant bowl, completely covering the core area of ​​the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts and a large area around it!

The surface of the barrier shimmered with light, and countless mysterious and obscure runes were faintly visible, emanating an ancient, savage, and powerful force with an absolute sense of repulsion!

"Sect Master, the power of this barrier is extremely strange; even with our combined efforts, we cannot break it!"

The two elders who followed also tried to attack, but their spiritual power landed on the barrier like mud sinking into the sea, failing to even stir up a ripple.

Just as Sect Leader Ye was extremely anxious and preparing to try even stronger methods at any cost, another sharp streak of light came from the sky, even faster than theirs had been.

However, it also stopped abruptly in front of the barrier, revealing a figure.

Mingchuan!

He had obviously just arrived as well, and his face was even more gloomy and cold than Sect Master Ye's. His sharp eyes were fixed on the invisible barrier in front of him, and the low pressure emanating from his body almost froze the surrounding air.

"Mingchuan!" Sect Leader Ye rushed forward upon seeing him, his voice urgent, "You sensed it too? Jizhou and Chu Han..."

Mingchuan didn't turn around, his gaze still fixed on the barrier, his voice as cold as ice: "They're still inside."

He sensed Ji Zhou's aura more clearly than Sect Master Ye. Although it was faint, it was indeed still within the barrier, but it was isolated by this strange barrier and could not be accurately located.

"What the hell is this thing? When did it appear?" Sect Master Ye was both anxious and furious. He slammed his palm against the barrier, but it was still in vain. "Even with our combined strength, we can't force our way through?"

Mingchuan slowly raised his hand, and a ball of extremely condensed, dark spiritual power that seemed capable of devouring light gathered in his palm, which he gently pressed onto the barrier.

This time, noticeable ripples finally appeared on the surface of the barrier, but then an even stronger counterforce surged in, slightly pushing Mingchuan's hand away, and the ripples quickly subsided.

“This is no ordinary barrier.” Mingchuan withdrew his hand, his eyes extremely solemn. “It contains the power of spatial isolation and law repulsion… It’s more like some ancient seal has been fully activated, or… it’s a domain of some existence that has opened up on its own, refusing entry to all outsiders.”

Regardless of the possibility, it means that what happened in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts is far more serious and complicated than they imagined!

The two beings who stood at the pinnacle of the spiritual realm were now firmly blocked outside by a sudden barrier, powerless to help the situation of the person they cared about.

"Are we just supposed to wait here?!" Sect Master Ye was on the verge of exploding.

Mingchuan remained silent for a moment, his eyes flashing with a dark light, as if he was rapidly thinking of a solution.

Forcibly crossing the boundary is too risky and could lead to unpredictable consequences, possibly even affecting Jizhou inside.

But waiting also means entrusting the life and death of Jizhou and Ye Chuhan to an unknown fate.

Just when they were caught in a dilemma, the light flowing on the enormous barrier that covered the sky and the earth seemed to undergo some extremely subtle change!

The moment the barrier's light underwent a subtle change, Mingchuan's pupils contracted, as he keenly noticed this anomaly.

This change is not a weakening of the barrier, but rather an adjustment in the internal energy flow, with the insulating power increasing rather than decreasing!

Can't wait any longer!

He gritted his teeth and shouted at the three beings in his sea of ​​consciousness, "Wake up! Get up and help me see if there's any other way!!"

Blood Dragon's steady voice was the first to respond: "A nauseating smell of devouring and death... It's like the work of the Soul-Devouring Ancient Beast, but it's also different."

"This barrier is its absolute hunting territory, repelling anything that might threaten its prey. Forcing its way in is probably not an option."

The dragon echoed, "That's right. But a direct assault isn't necessarily necessary."

"What do you mean?" Mingchuan asked anxiously.

The dragon's voice carried a thoughtful tone: "Every barrier has its own rules of operation, and this Devouring Domain is no exception. It rejects complete outsiders, but if you can simulate a certain aura that it has marked or contaminated within, you might be able to mistake it for captured prey or dissipated energy the moment the barrier recognizes it, thus finding a crack."

“Marking? Contamination?” Mingchuan immediately grasped the key point.

“Yes.” Blood Dragon added calmly, “For example, the energy that has already been generated inside is deeply entangled with the core energy of the mother explosion, which is equivalent to being marked with a strong temporary mark.”

"This mark is to the barrier what... half-digested food residue is."

“Yes, yes, yes!” The fallen dragon, who had been silent until now, finally chimed in, “That’s exactly the point! Try to capture the chaotic battle power inside and use it to temporarily cover your spiritual energy fluctuations.”

"When the barrier's operation fluctuates periodically, and the identification mechanism relaxes slightly, it might be possible to slip through!"

Just then, the light of the barrier changed again, and the speed of the flowing runes seemed to slow down slightly for a moment!

Mingchuan nodded immediately, "Okay, I understand."

He made a hand seal, closed his eyes, and began to feel as they instructed.

He was gradually absorbing the aftershocks of the battle in the air into his body...

Faster, faster...

What exactly can be used? Come out now!
