Top-class Bodyguard

At this very moment, the scene above the South Pacific Ocean was utterly震撼.

Not far away, in the Thunderstorm Layer that spanned heaven and earth, a gap like a canyon appeared in the middle. Terrifying, abundant Spiritual Qi surged out from within, and the density of this Spiritual Qi was simply unimaginable!

Some experts even began cultivating and performing breath exercises the instant they felt this dense Spiritual Qi. In an environment like this, their cultivation speed would be incredibly fast.

"This only happens the first time the relic grounds open." One expert stared at the gap that was still spewing Spiritual Qi. "During the first opening, the excess Spiritual Qi contained inside the Array will gush out. Once the Qi disperses, we can go in."

That canyon-like gap was still shrouded in mist, but the lightning and howling gales inside had decreased enormously.

Compared to other parts of the Thunderstorm Layer, the power here had been weakened by ninety percent. A storm layer of this level was completely within these experts' tolerance range.

The experts in the rear also flew over. The clouds in the canyon gap were still writhing, lightning still flashing and thunder rumbling, and the sky inside seemed entirely grey.

Sima Nan from Sword Pavilion and the others also arrived at the front. At that moment, the Spiritual Qi spraying out began to weaken.

"We can go in now!"

In an instant, countless experts' figures frantically flew inward, like countless streaks of light drilling toward that gap at extreme speed!

"I'll go in first and take a look."

As Mu Han's voice fell, his figure flickered, closely following the others as he slipped through that thin layer of clouds. Just like the rest, his silhouette quickly vanished within the clouds.

Ren Feng's fighter jet hovered in midair. At that moment, he felt that strange binding force descend on him again, and his strength was suppressed once more.

In their current group, Ban Tianzi and Cyan Dragon hadn't come. With Ban Tianzi here, Cyan Dragon still needed to go back later to continue the mission, while Ban Tianzi had to guard the Starry Sky. So this time, the only ones entering the ancient relic grounds were Ren Feng and a few others.

The experts behind brushed past them, flying into the cloud layer within the gap, their figures dimming and disappearing.

After just a brief moment, Mu Han's figure reappeared.

"No problem, let's go."

Sima Nan and the others said nothing further and directly pierced through that thin cloud layer, entering the gap. Ren Feng piloted the fighter jet through the clouds as well; the feeling was just like penetrating the watery curtain when passing through a barrier.

At the instant he entered the canyon gap, Ren Feng felt as though he had stepped into a completely different world. Clouds were everywhere in all directions, and terrifying lightning was contained within them, thunder rolling endlessly. Above, everything was a grey layer of lightning.

On both sides not far away stood what looked like perfectly trimmed walls, and behind those transparent walls lay even more terrifying thunderclouds and storms, with cutting gales constantly slicing through.

It felt like an apocalyptic scene. Ahead, countless experts were flying forward at high speed, still dodging the bolts of lightning crashing down.

Ren Feng felt his strength being rapidly suppressed, from the Yin step of the Yin-Yang Realm, continually crushed down to the Unity Realm, then to the Profound Realm!

And it was still being suppressed!

He had expected this, but Ren Feng hadn't thought the suppression would be this ruthless!

It kept pressing down. He felt his realm still retreating wildly, and in that moment, even his Soul Sea seemed to be enveloped by a strange energy, forcing the entire Soul Sea down.

"Damn it, even my Soul Sea is suppressed?"

Ren Feng's expression changed. He tried to release his divine sense, only to discover that he couldn't extend it at all.

"My realm has been suppressed."

Ren Feng spoke quickly.

Long Yue was somewhat puzzled. "I haven't been suppressed. I'm still in the Divine Realm."

Ren Feng's gaze flickered with surprise, and just then, when he turned his head, he saw that not far away in a patch of dark cloud, lightning seemed to be brewing.

For some reason, Ren Feng had a gut feeling that this lightning was aimed directly at him!

In that split second, Ren Feng pushed the control lever hard, yanking the fighter sharply upward, and that bolt of lightning struck straight down below!

Ren Feng's face was extremely solemn. He glanced ahead again; the front was like a thundercloud apocalypse. Although its power had been weakened many times over compared to before, it was still full of obstacles for them.

Moreover, at this moment, Ren Feng noticed that the dark clouds up ahead were starting to flicker, as if brewing another lightning tribulation.

"Hold on tight!"

Ren Feng's hands moved rapidly, and the fighter jet began weaving at high speed through the dark clouds, flying in a stunt-like pattern—suddenly banking hard to the left, then abruptly veering sharply to the right.

Beside the fighter, countless bolts of roaring lightning flashed past. Those lightning strikes seemed capable of actively choosing targets; every single bolt shot straight for Ren Feng's fighter!

Ren Feng's strength was still being suppressed, but he had no time to worry about that now. He had to survive this stretch first!

"Why are these lightning bolts attacking us?" Long Yue had also noticed it: this lightning behaved like an active assault, not random strikes.

"No idea. It might be set up by whoever arranged the Array—like a test. If you can't pass the trial, you don't qualify to enter the ancient relic grounds."

As Ren Feng spoke, his hands didn't stop. He pushed his perception as far as he could; whenever lightning came crashing in, he maneuvered the fighter to dodge.

His strength kept being suppressed, from the Profound Realm all the way down to the Spirit Realm, then to the Divine Realm, where it finally stopped.

Could it be that everyone entering these relic grounds would have their strength suppressed to the Divine Realm?

The thought flashed through Ren Feng's mind, but his hands did not pause. The fighter howled as it shot forward at full speed.

Up ahead, many experts were having their strength suppressed to the Divine Realm as well, all of their faces changing.

Though they still flew onward, their internal Qi Force consumption spiked sharply, and dodging the lightning around them made it even more taxing.

The power of these lightning strikes was many times more terrifying than normal lightning, and with thunderclouds so dense, it was practically a massive area-of-effect, indiscriminate bombardment!

One expert's expression was extremely ugly. "Don't tell me we can only use a portion of our Qi Force? This suppression is way too brutal!"

Aside from a small fraction, the Qi Force in his body couldn't be mobilized at all. In other words, at this moment, no matter his combat strength or Qi Force, he could only exert the level of the Divine Realm!
