As soon as the gate opened, with the signal of the princess, everyone ran from their sea ships in a hurried manner as if their lives were at stake. Each and everyone was not willing to be the last. They wanted to seize the treasure they could see as soon as possible. Although the ancient race had clearly declared that they would get half of the total treasures, who could hold themselves back? Perhaps they might not able to get the strongest treasure, however, if they presented it themselves to the ancient race, it's a different story. Of course, they would not dare to get ahead of the Sea Princess and the Nine Immortals. They could only use their senses to detect if there was a treasure they could cross aside from the point where the ancient race had found the tons of treasures. All in all, they were just testing their luck casually.
Soon as the crowd was gone, Jin Rou and Lang Zing entered the island as well. What presented them was a very desolate area, as if there was no single living being here. The clouds were grey and there were thunder clouds looming over them. The atmosphere was so heavy that it made those juniors with low cultivation suffocate. If not for the Immortals beside them, they would already have died countless times.
These juniors wanted to expand their horizon that's why they decided to be part of the expedition. Besides, the ancient race said that everyone was welcome to enter, so what's there to fuss about? Furthermore, they were with the strongest ancestor in their sect or clan. So for them, there's no need to act reserve at all. However, they already expected that the island would be terrifying, but they did not expect that it would be this terrifying. It was like as if they entered hell. How the hell would a treasure unexpectedly show itself here?
But since the ancient race had said there were treasures, then there were treasures indeed.
As they walked deeper and deeper towards the island, with the ancient race in the front, everyone noticed that the atmosphere became heavier and gloomier. The grey clouds turned greyer, almost turning to black. What's worse,terrifying grey-coloured thunders occasionally pouring against them, which a few of the juniors were not able to defend and die a miserable death, though their protectors tried their best to protect them.
"Those thunders are called Death Thunder, it would immediately kill a cultivator below the Immortal Realm if they were not protected well. So please use all your defensive means to protect your descendants." The Sea Princess smiled and reminded everyone.
Those sects who just had received a casualty frowned in displeasure for a moment. How could the ancient race leave this information out until someone died? However, they could not voice out their discontentment, afraid that the ancient race would take a grudge against them and decided to exterminate them without leaving anyone alive. Losing a descendant was better than losing their sect and their very foundation.

Walking deeper and deeper, everyone was now being suffocated by the heavy atmosphere. Some already coughed blood, even those who were Immortals. After a few minutes, Immortals after Immortals had fallen. As soon as they died, their juniors would die as well. After all, even their protectors were not able to protect themselves, how could they survive with such low cultivation?
From hundreds of people who entered the island, there were only more or less fifty who remained.
They now realized the true horror of this island. Even without powerful monsters or whatnot, with just this suffocating atmosphere and the death thunder, those below the Immortal Emperor Realm was not qualified to enter at all as they could not defend themselves. Even they were able to defend, what lies in the deepest part would just kill them without knowing how they died. Of course, it's different if they had heaven-defying treasure in their possession. This was the main reason why only an Immortal Emperor was qualified to enter. Not to mention, even Immortal Emperors had fallen in this place, what's more for the those Immortal and below? Being devoured by greed was a fatal mistake here.
The ancient race had not bothered with those who died. They did not even turn their back when some asked for protection of the race.
Lang Zing, who was not affected even the least, asked Jin Rou with cold sweat, "Young Master Jin, this island is really scary. Many have already died. And the ancient race did not bother to save them even once at all."
Although the Sea Ancient Race had declared that they would not be held liable for any mishap, turning a deaf ear to those who tried to seek for help was a bit uncomfortable for the young man like Lang Zing. As time went by, that would be more dangerous and perhaps, even Immortal Emperors would not be able to take it.
Jin Rou answered, "It's their business. Whether they die or not, it would not be our business, much less to save them."
Jin Rou did not want to stick his nose where it doesn't belong to. Especially for those people with dark inner hearts. Those who have died can be said that they deserved their death here. As a matter of fact, except for Lang Zing, almost everyone had a dark and terrifying inner heart that made Jin Rou's blood turn cold. So what if they die? Then they could just die. It was already merciful of him not to ban them from the Yellow River of Reincarnation.
A few hours had already passed, and from more than 50 people who survived a while ago. There were only 25 or so left. There were already Immortal Emperors who died in the way and those who survived where Second-Generation Immortal Emperors of the powerhouses that were included in the top 10 of the Sea Continent. And the Revenant Heavenly Sect was one of them who survived.
"We are already reaching the deepest part of the island, where the treasures lie. And the atmosphere will be suffocating to its maximized degree. It will be surely hard, even for us, to breathe regularly. So we will not be able to protect anyone so please use any means to protect yourselves." The Sea Princess declared.
Hearing this, Jin Rou sneered. As if they were protecting anyone from the start up to now, right?
