2130 A Tear in the Void

Many people were gathered in the north of Sin City, in the mountain ridge

The people were currently surrounding a mountain valley. To be more precise, they were surrounding the space above the mountain valley.

There was a tear in the void. It was a long and ugly tear, an entryway. However, one would not be able to see anything even if one were to look inside.

Among the crowd of people, an inconspicuous-looking middle-aged man looked at the ugly tear and said in a trembling voice, "I-is i-it really a treasure vault left behind by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage? Why do I feel anxious when I look at it..."

"I feel the same. This tear resembles the bloody mouth of a terrifying beast!" Another person said warily.

"Were there entries of treasure vaults left behind by powerhouses at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage that looked like this?" Many people murmured to themselves.

"I had the privilege of entering a treasure vault left behind by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage a hundred years ago, and I managed to obtain some treasures there. However, the treasure vault left behind by that powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was located underground. Although there were many Formations in there, the entry looked normal. It doesn't look like this," an old man said. From his voice, one could tell he felt wary about the tear in the space as well.

"I think you're all worrying for nothing!" A middle-aged man suddenly said with a frown, "Didn't you see the high- ranking officials from the Seven Kill Alliance, Thousand Years Alliance, and Eternal Alliance entering it? If the tear in the void dangerous, do you think they would carelessly enter it?"

Many people agreed with this man's words.

Yes. The leaders and high-ranking officials of the three strongest alliances in Sin City have already entered... What's there for us to be afraid of?"

"Since they went in, it shouldn't be dangerous if we enter, right?"

"I think so as well."

More and more people agreed, but no one made a move to enter.

After all, the tear in the void was only speculated to be the entrance to the treasure vault left behind by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

The treasures in the treasure vault of a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage held great temptation. However, one's life was undoubtedly more important.

It was fine if one did not obtain any treasure, but if one died, everything would be over!

Suddenly, a young man stepped forward and said to the middle-aged who thought everyone was worried for no reason. "Hey! Since you think we're worried about nothing, why don't you take the lead and enter? If you go in, I'll go with you. What do you think?"

After the young man had spoken, everyone turned to look at the middle-aged man in unison. "That's right! Since you said there's nothing to worry about... Why don't you go in first if you think you're capable!"

"Go on! What are you waiting for? Didn't you say it's not dangerous?"

Yes! Didn't you say that the high-ranking officials of the three strong alliances in Sin City have entered so it's not dangerous? Why aren't you going in then?"

"Are you afraid?"

"If you're afraid, how dare you say there's nothing to worry about? Aren't you just embarrassing yourself?"

All these words were directed at the middle-aged man who told them there was nothing to worry about.

When the middle-aged man heard the comments, he turned pale. He had intentionally said that earlier in hopes that someone would go in first.

So far, only the high-ranking officials from the strong alliances in Sin City had entered the tear in the void into the place that was supposed to be a treasure vault left behind by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.

Those from other alliances or loners did not enter.

In the end, the middle-aged man did not enter the tear in the void, earning him mockeries from the people around him. Although it was not pleasant being the object of ridicule, it was still better than losing his life.

"Black-robed man!!" A scream rang in the air, alerting the people surrounding the tear in the void.

The crowd instantly stopped mocking the middle-aged man. They shifted their attention to the direction where the person who had just spoken was looking at.

There was a figure flying through the clouds and was in the midst of landing.

This person wore a black robe and his face was hidden with a hood. His face could not be clearly seen at all.

"I wonder if he's the real black-robed man?"

Many people had the same question in their minds.

"I wonder if the real black-robed man dares to enter the tear in the void?"

The black-robed man who appeared before everyone who surrounded the tear in the void was none other than Duan Ling Tian.

Since Duan Ling Tian arrived a while ago and heard their discussion, he knew the high-ranking officials from the Seven Kill Alliance, Thousand Years Alliance, and Eternal Alliance had entered the tear in the void.

The people who were loitering around the area were mostly people who did not enter the tear in the void because they were not sure if led to the treasure vault left behind by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form Saint of the Celestial Stage.

If they are so afraid of dying, why are they here?' Duan Ling Tian was rendered speechless by these people.

Before Duan Ling Tian revealed himself, he had asked Elder Huo to check the entrance.

"This is a tear in the void. It should lead to a pseudo realm, "Elder Huo told him.

Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, stunned when he heard this. He instantly asked again,"Elder Huo, I remember you said the Upper Province in the Dao Martial Saint Land is also a pseudo realm?"

"Yes," Elder Hup replied quickly, "The Upper Province of Dao Martial Saint Land is a pseudo realm that was naturally formed. However, the entrance to this pseudo realm was intentionally tom by humans."

Elder Huo continued to say, "In the Mundane Realms, whenever someone successfully passes the Heavenly Tribulation, the power in their bodies will undergo a transformation. Although it won't change into the Celestial Origin Energy, it would be easy for them to open an independent realm also known as a pseudo realm."

"Therefore, the pseudo realm behind this tear in the void is definitely made by a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. Moreover, that powerhouse must have successfully passed the Heavenly Tribulation!"

"However, I'm not sure if the pseudo realm behind this tear is a treasure vault. There's a possibility it's a treasure vault. It requires a lot of effort to make a tear in the void even if it's someone who has successfully passed the Heavenly Tribulation and is about to ascend to the Devata Realm. It's possible the powerhouse has left his treasure here. Naturally, they would only be considered treasures in the mundane realm," Elder Huo said.

Duan Ling Tian continued to fly as he listened to Elder Huo. He had made the decision to enter the tear in the void. Based on Elder Huo's words, he knew the treasures in the vault must be extraordinary since the one who left it behind was not just an ordinary powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He was a powerhouse who had successfully passed the Heavenly Tribulations powerhouse!

One should know that the difference between someone at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who passed the Heavenly Tribulation and someone who had not passed it was very wide.

The former was close to being a celestial being in regard to their cultivation base and level while the latter was not.

A pseudo realm opened by such a powerhouse with so much effort would likely be his treasure vault, containing items he possessed before ascending to the Devata Realm. There had to be many treasures in there.

Do you think he dares to enter the tear in the void?1

"I'm not sure. In the first place, we don't know if he's the genuine black-robed man. However, even if he's the real deal, I'm not sure if he would enter."

"I agree."

"Didn't you see that even the leader and high-ranking officials of the Mighty Tyrannical Alliance haven't entered the tear in the void? Do you think the black-robed man is braver than the Leader of the Mighty Tyrannical Alliance?"

Duan Ling Tian, naturally, heard the discussions around him. Many people doubted he was the real black-robed man, and many wondered if he was brave enough to enter the tear in the void.

The Leader of the Mighty Tyrannical Alliance?' Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian shifted his eyes to where most people were looking.

A group of people was gathered in one place. The person in the lead had a beard, tall, and well built. He was dressed in finely made clothes. One could tell in just a glance that he had been in power for some time. There was a group that gathered there.

He should be Chen Xuan Ba, the Leader of the Mighty Tyrannical Alliance,' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

Chen Xuan Ba, the Leader of the Mighty Tyrannical Alliance, was a powerhouse at the Fifth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. He was ranked in the top 500 on the Supreme Saint Ranking. Apart from that, the Mighty Tyrannical Alliance could also be considered a strong alliance in Sin City. It was only weaker than the Seven Kill Alliance, Thousand Years Alliance, and Eternal Alliance.

Duan Ling Tian still remembered that the first inn he stayed in when he arrived in Sin City, the Welcome Inn, belonged to the Mighty Tyrannical Alliance!
