Ming Yu quickly rushed through the cave at an extremely fast speed.

The tunnel was originally very narrow, but the deeper they went, the more spacious the tunnel became. Furthermore, the tunnel did not go straight forward, but downwards diagonally.

After running about five kilometers, Ming Yu could feel that the temperature here was much lower than before. Although it wasn't as cold as the Icy Soul Snow Lotus, Ming Yu could still feel a faintly discernible aura seeping into his bone marrow, causing his soul to feel a tinge of cold!

Now that Ming Yu's cultivation had risen by another level, his spiritual force was already able to extend outwards for 10 more miles. He could feel that after another 8 more miles, he would reach the end of this passage.

However, after reaching the end of the tunnel, there was no way for his Spirit power to spread in, so he had no way of investigating it. This made Ming Yu even more puzzled.

"What exactly is hidden at the end of the tunnel?"

Just like this, Ming Yu rushed forward. Not even a moment later, he finally arrived at the entrance of the cave. Immediately, he saw everything that had happened in front of the cave.

In front of Ming Yu, there was a vast expanse of space. This space was circular, and at the entrance of the cave, there was a stone bridge twenty meters wide and five meters thick that was a thousand meters long.

Above the stone bridge, the surface was smooth and the bridge was thick. It glowed with a dark green light as it stretched out to a distance of a thousand meters!

A kilometer away, in the center of this large circular space, there was a dark green thick green pillar erected, and the end of the stone bridge was connected to the top of the pillar!

Therefore, the entire space was made up of stone pillars and a thousand-meter long stone bridge. The rest of the space was empty, and the bottom was the bottomless abyss!

On the high platform at the center of the field, there was a giant white skull. It was looking upwards and opening its mouth wide, there was actually a sacrificial altar inside the white skeleton's mouth.

The light was as bright as the stars, it was as though the ruler of this world was emitting a fearsome aura that intimidated everyone.

Only then did Ming Yu understand that the thing that made his soul feel cold was coming from the center of the stage!

Opening the Soul Touch, Ming Yu focused and discovered that in the center of the dazzling light, a green ribbon rose up. Within the green ribbon, the outline of a sword was faintly discernible.

When Ming Yu saw the sharp sword-shaped silhouette, she suddenly felt a cold chill rise up to her head, intimidating his soul!

Ming Yu was shocked. She never thought that with just a glance, he would be able to release such a terrifying sword qi!

This sword was definitely the Netherworld Sword!

It seemed as if it had a sliver of its own spirituality, something an ordinary Xuan Weapon could not compare to. If he could obtain this sword, his strength would definitely skyrocket, but to obtain this Netherworld Sword, it would be even more difficult!

"Swish."

Ming Yu retracted his gaze. Just now, he was attracted by the Netherworld Sword, but now his gaze was fixated on the silhouettes on the stairs.

Because Ming Yu appeared a little late, the experts from the other caves had already walked forward a small distance. As for Luo Ling who was in the Nether Realm, he had already covered a quarter of the distance.

"Why are they moving so slowly?"

Ming Yu subconsciously took a step out of the cave. At this moment, Ming Yu's body suddenly sank. He felt that he had become extremely heavy, almost unknowingly falling to the ground!

"This is …"

Ming Yu slowly took two steps forward. He finally understood that there was a violent suction force coming from this dark green stone bridge. It was like a giant magnet, and every person that entered it was also a magnet that was about to be sucked into that stone ground!

The suction force was probably over a thousand jin of force. The deeper one went into the stone bridge, the greater the suction force from the ground would be. Because of this, the forty odd people walking in front were so slow.

In addition, Ming Yu also discovered that the further one went, the closer one got to the end of the stone bridge, the stronger the dark green deathly aura released from the high platform in front of them would be.

In other words, if he wanted to get close to the platform, not only would he have to endure the gravitational force, but he would also have to resist the stronger sword aura of death!

"Can I take it?" Ming Yu muttered to himself.

However, just as he was pondering, he discovered that Luo Ling was moving forward step by step. He had already surpassed a quarter of the distance between him and the entire stone bridge!

"We can't let him get there first!"

Ming Yu made the decision without hesitation. She braced herself, tensed her legs, and slowly walked up the stairs.

Ming Yu's arrival attracted the attention of several experts. Seeing Ming Yu coming, the ghost's turbid eyes flashed with fierceness. He said in a deep voice, "Where's Xiao Long!"

Mingyu said, "She's not dead, she's still inside the cave. "If you don't believe me, go investigate the cave yourself."

"Alright, I'll believe you this time!"

The ghoul turned its head to look at Luo Ling, who had thrown him about ten meters away, and said in a deep voice: "But, I want to take a step ahead of Luo Ling and get the Netherworld Sword. You can't withstand this terrifying suction, go back and take care of Xiao Long now, if anything happens to her, I'll eat you!"

The ghoul and Ming Long grew up together. It could be said that there was a deep bond between them, even to the point of kinship. He treated Ming Long as his own sister.

The ghoul was also at the eighth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage. It had the strength of 6500 lions, which was only 400 lions weaker than Luo Ling.

Amongst this group of climbing martial artists, he was the only one who had the ability to stop Luo Ling. If he did not use his full strength, once Luo Ling obtained the Yellow Springs Sword, the consequences would be unimaginable!

In response to the ghoul's order, Ming Yu merely spat out one word, "Ridiculous."

And then, he started climbing up the stairs step by step.

"Stupid!"

He wanted to tear Ming Yu into pieces right now, but the violent suction didn't allow him to do so. Moreover, while he was talking with Ming Yu, Luo Ling took another five steps forward!

"Enough is enough. The Underworld Sword will be mine, and all of your blood will be refined by me and become my stepping stone." At the front, Luo Ling turned around and looked at everyone as he spoke in an indifferent manner.

Luo Ling was the strongest among the group. His strength had already reached the eighth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage, returning to the Essence of 6900 lions. Not only that, this was far from his limit.

If he could refine the blood essence of everyone here, including the ghouls, he would at least have the strength of 7500 lions!

And once he obtained the Netherworld Sword and gave it to the Nether Palace Lord, his father, then he would receive even more rewards and feedback.

Perhaps, his strength could increase crazily until he had reached the strength of 8000 lions or even higher!

A powerhouse at the ninth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage who possessed eight thousand lions was a terrifying existence!

With these thoughts in mind, Luo Ling slowly walked forward step by step.

The group of people behind him did not stop. They all possessed powerful physical qualities and were able to withstand the heavy weight.

However, after advancing for just a short period of time, the experts behind them had already arrived at the place where the ghouls were. There were already over a dozen people who had no choice but to stop.

Because of the increasingly violent suction force from the ground, their spines were all bent. Even though they were trying their best to straighten their waists, they were still unable to do so.

It was difficult to take even one step forward.

"BOOM!"

The few experts couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground at an extremely fast speed. It was as if they were sticking to a stone bridge.

They wanted to borrow force, but their heads, arms, bodies, and legs were all attached to the stone bridge. They had nowhere to exert their strength to push at.

It was obvious that they no longer had any hope of getting the Netherworld Sword, and as the leading troops advanced forward, their speed also became slower and slower.

At this moment, Ming Yu finally walked past the group of experts on the stone bridge and continued forward.

The current Ming Yu had the strength of 6400 lions. The first half was very stable and he definitely wouldn't fall, but Ming Yu could feel the suction force from below getting stronger and stronger.

However, Ming Yu did not give up, nor did he give up. His steps were firm and steady as he chased after Luo Ling and the ghost!

The gluttonous ghost was about half the distance away, but he had no choice but to stop and rest.

Large drops of sweat dripped from his forehead, completely soaking his tight black clothes. Furthermore, his chest was violently rising and falling; it was obvious that he was under a lot of pressure.

Most importantly, the further he went, the terrifying Sword Qi of Death that was emitted from the green light made his soul tremble. With every step he took, his soul felt a strong sense of oppression.

Under these circumstances, he still wanted to move forward. Even if it was going to be difficult, he had to take the risk.

The hungry ghost knew that he was under a lot of pressure. He would never allow Luo Ling to snatch the Netherworld Sword. He had to fight it out with Luo Ling before he could do anything!

As he thought of this, he took another step forward.

However, the stone bridge was producing an even more violent suction force, and the Death Sword Qi in front was getting stronger and stronger, the devils gasped for breath, and their speed gradually slowed down.

I can't give up! I'm the only one who has the ability to fight! I can't let Luo Ling succeed, I can't let him kill Xiao Long!

He was sweating profusely and his muscles were trembling. However, what he did not know was that right behind him, a young man was slowly approaching at the same speed as before!
