"I can't penetrate the barrier's power, nor can I move the altar's bluestone. I'm considering using a sacred symbol to shake this energy barrier and then retrieve the treasure chest!" Xiang Han said.
"The sacred symbols are painstakingly crafted by the Land God, and you'd use them to smash rocks and break barriers?" Ye Chen glared, thinking it too wasteful.
"I know it's wasteful, but I have no other way. Only this can break the barrier!" Xiang Han said.
"Ah, Ye Chen, save me!"
Just then, Fang Ruolan touched the barrier, and her body was instantly flung away.
"Bang!"
The holy woman fell to the ground, nearly splitting her bottom in two, but Ye Chen did not rush over to save her.
"Ye Chen, why didn't you catch me!" Fang Ruolan fumed with anger. Just moments before, Naimei Xue also had been flung away and caught by Ye Chen in mid-air, which made Fang Ruolan quite jealous. Thus, she intentionally did the same, but unexpectedly, Ye Chen did not move to help, and she ended up sprawled on the ground.
"..." Everyone was speechless at the holy woman's odd behavior.
"Is this energy guard really so strong that even a Grandmaster is flung away in the blink of an eye?" Ye Chen stepped forward, wanting to feel the strength of this invisible force.
"Be careful. That power is boundless and endless. Even I have to be repelled!" Xiang Han warned.
"Don't worry, I know my limits."
Ye Chen stretched out his hand towards the invisible energy barrier, trying to understand its mysteries and find a way to break through it.
However, as Ye Chen's hand touched the barrier, the layer of power surged lightly but did not repel him with any force.
"This?"
Xiang Han was shocked, her expression incredible.
Xiang Han had bombarded this energy barrier countless times, but no matter how she attacked, the barrier's power never dissipated, which led her to consider using a sacred symbol.
Even with the use of a sacred symbol, Xiang Han was not sure if she could break through the barrier, as it was terrifyingly strong, like an immeasurable ocean, seemingly unbreakable.
But Xiang Han hadn't expected that when Ye Chen touched the barrier, he wasn't rebounded at all and effortlessly passed through it, reaching the treasure chest!
Xiang Han's mind flashed brightly—this was indeed a man of great fortune!
"Why does this treasure chest look so familiar?"
Ye Chen took out the chest, holding it in his hands and looking at it, when his eyelids began to twitch uncontrollably.
At the same time, a restlessness stirred within Ye Chen. The aura leaking from the chest was affecting his state of mind.
"Ye Chen, this treasure chest is mine. What are you doing with my stuff!" Xiang Han's expression turned cold.
"Then take it. I am a gentleman and never steal from others!" Ye Chen suppressed the turmoil within him, and with a flick of his hand, he tossed the chest away.
Xiang Han's eyes widened in disbelief, thinking she was hallucinating, for the expression Ye Chen had when he tossed the chest resembled someone throwing away a hot potato.
However, Xiang Han still extended her hand and caught the chest.
"Boom!"
At that moment, an unrivaled force erupted. It was the terrifying power of ghostly gods, as someone activated a sacred symbol, unleashing the power of a Land God, aiming to overwhelm Xiang Han!
"You ninja indeed had no good intentions!"
Xiang Han's expression chilled, then she swung the cushion held in her hands, colliding with that immense power.
"What!"
Naimei Xue's expression changed, unable to believe what she was seeing. Xiang Han's cushion actually blocked the power of the ghostly gods!
"Lucky I obtained this treasure cushion, otherwise, today you really might have schemed against me!" A murderous intent flashed in Xiang Han's eyes.
"Damn it!"
Naimei Xue's face chilled as she saw Ye Chen took out the treasure chest, her greed uncontrollable because this chest was extraordinary, certainly harboring divine treasures.
So when the chest was transferred to Yun Xianghan, she did not hesitate to unleash a mystic symbol, preparing to fatally strike Yun Xianghan and snatch the chest.
Naimei Xue had three mystic symbols on her, enough to let her break through and intimidate Ye Chen, but she never expected that the prayer mat in Yun Xianghan's hand could block the power of her mystic symbol!
In an instant, Naimei Xue flew to Ye Chen's side, fearing Yun Xianghan might kill her, but she felt that Ye Chen could protect her.
This idea was absurd and bizarre; in any case, she just hid behind Ye Chen.
"..."
Naimei Xue's actions made the atmosphere tensely awkward, as if time itself eerily stood still.
"That treasure chest looks just like the one we found last time!" Fang Ruolan said after a silence.
"Yes," Ye Chen nodded.
"Then why did you throw it away? Last time you got a Qiankun Bag from it, maybe this time there might be another miraculous treasure!" Fang Ruolan wondered aloud.
Ye Chen remained silent; the chest had a strange aura that could influence his mind, which was why he had thrown it away.
"How do we open this chest?" Yun Xianghan looked to Ye Chen, eager to open the chest after hearing their conversation and see what was inside, but the chest seemed like a solid block of wood without any mechanisms to open it.
"Smash it!" Fang Ruolan said. "This chest has no locks or secret mechanisms; if we want to get what's inside, we must smash the chest."
"So that's it!" Yun Xianghan smiled at the corner of her mouth.
"Boom!"
Yun Xianghan exerted supreme strength and then smashed the chest onto a bluestone altar, shattering the chest.
"My Qiankun Bag!" Yun Xianghan dove forward, fearing someone might steal her treasure.
"Whoosh!"
Just then, the situation suddenly changed as a streak of spiritual light burst out from the broken chest.
This spiritual light moved quickly, darting across the bluestone altar as if it were a flickering ghostly flame.
"What!" This sudden twist made Yun Xianghan's face change.
"Could this be?!"
Yun Xianghan was shaken to the core, recalling some ancient records, which made her wildly elated with conjecture.
Then, Yun Xianghan quickly gave chase to the spiritual light, trying to capture it in her hands.
"How could this happen!" Ye Chen exclaimed.
The chest broke, not yielding any treasures but instead releasing a spiritual light. What on Earth had happened?
However, Ye Chen could see that Yun Xianghan was ecstatic. This streak of spiritual light seemed like some unparalleled treasure, making her frantically chase after it.
Ye Chen also wanted to intervene, but the aura around Yun Xianghan was fiercely violent, with an energy that seemed to say she would fight anyone who dared interfere, causing Ye Chen to hesitate about making any sudden moves.
However, this spiritual light moved incredibly fast, flying as if teleporting instantly; despite Yun Xianghan's full burst of energy, she could hardly keep up.
"This spiritual light is so mysteriously unpredictable, it's likely a special legacy that could propel a Land God into rapid advancement!" Yun Xianghan was exhilarated, pushing her speed to the limit, yet still struggling to catch up with the spiritual light.
"Whoosh!"
This spiritual light, hotly pursued by Yun Xianghan, circled around the bluestone altar for a few rounds before suddenly bursting into a brilliant divine light and shooting towards Ye Chen.
