As soon as they came out of the end of the tunnel, they saw that they had appeared in a giant pit.
They didn't know where this pit had come from, but on the cliff walls around them were many different holes.
None of them were fools and they knew that this should be some kind of trap, so they immediately turned to run back into the tunnel that they came from. However, before they could even turn around, the tunnel had closed behind them.
Once again, not a single one of them hesitated at all as they immediately released attacks at the wall where the exit of the tunnel had been.
Their attacks immediately hit the wall and created an explosion of dust before sending pebbles flying all over.
When the dust settled, they saw that there wasn't a tunnel in the wall of the cliff at all. It was as if the tunnel that they had come by had never existed.
Lei Feng, Shi Yi, and the other cloaked figure didn't give up as they attacked the wall again, but the figure with the different coloured cloak had already turned his attention to somewhere else.
His eyes swept over the various holes in the wall around them, almost as if he was looking for something.
Then as if he had noticed something, he immediately looked at the center of the pit where there was a vine sticking out of the ground. As soon as he saw this vine, he immediately knitted his brows.
This vine was what he was sensing the aura of the Alchemist King Hall group from, but he could clearly tell that this wasn't the real thing. It was nothing more than an outlet to release this aura to fool him.
As soon as he realized this, he started looking at the various holes in the wall of the pit around him. He realized that none of them were close to the hole that they had just come from and it was faint, but he could sense the aura of beasts coming from them.
Once all these things were made clear, the figure with the different coloured cloak immediately turned around and said, "Forget about that hole! All of you separate and run for different tunnels!"
Without even waiting for the other three to respond, the cloaked figure immediately jumped up and flew out at the closest hole to the right.
However, before he could reach it, there were different coloured attacks that flew out at him.
The cloaked figure took a look at these attacks and gave a snort as he raised a hand to create spikes of ice. The spikes of ice clashed against these attacks and shattered them, not stopping him for a single second.
However, before the cloaked figure could reach the tunnel, there was a barrier that suddenly appeared in front of him that sent him flying back into the middle of the pit.
As for the other three that were still left in the pit, they were also instantly surrounded by attacks that came from every direction.
They tried to block it, but they didn't have the same power as the figure in the different coloured cloak. Even with the Child Soul Realm Artifacts that they had, they were knocked to the ground by the various attacks that fell onto them.
All three of them spat out mouthfuls of blood after having these attacks rain down on them.
The figure in the different coloured cloak didn't pay any attention to the three of them as he studied the barrier that he had just slammed into.
He could see the power behind this barrier and he was shocked by it. After all, this was a barrier that was at a higher level than even the ones that he possessed, so he couldn't help being shocked.
Could it be that there was another kingdom that was making a move here?
No, that shouldn't be possible.
They had already sealed off all information about this place, so it wasn't possible that there was another kingdom making a move.
So just what was happening here?
However, he didn't have time to think about this as more attacks rained down on him.
When he raised his hand to condense ice spikes to block these attacks, he realized something and waved his hand instead. The ice spikes that would have condensed suddenly shattered into ice crystals that immediately formed a wall of ice around him, creating a barrier that stopped all these attacks.
However, when the attacks landed on the wall of ice that he created, he could see the cracks that had started to form.
He immediately knitted his brows and condensed more ice crystals that immediately reinforced the wall of ice and fixed these cracks, but his brows knitted even more as he defended against these attacks. After all, with more attacks that he took, he could feel that the power behind these attacks were getting stronger.
The cloaked figure knew that if he continued holding back his power, he wouldn't have a chance to do anything. Rather there was even a high chance that he might get seriously injured or even die if he kept holding back.
As soon as this thought passed through his mind, there was a strong feeling of rage that filled him.
He couldn't believe that people of this lower realm were able to push him to this extent!
It was a blow to his pride that he wouldn't allow!
So without another thought, the cloaked figure's aura started to rise. It continued to rise until it broke free of the Child Soul Realm and reached the Nascent Soul Realm.
As soon as it reached the Nascent Soul Realm, he raised his other hand and spikes of ice began appearing along the wall of ice that he had formed around himself. These spikes of ice were covered in a layer of ice crystals that blocked all the attacks falling on him as they condensed.
Once all the spikes of ice were condensed, he flicked the hand that was controlling them and the ice spikes flew out in every direction.
He didn't know where the person controlling these attacks was, so he had no choice but to use a wide area attack to draw them out.
However, as soon as those spikes of ice flew out, there was the same barrier that had knocked him down that appeared.
The cloaked figure wasn't worried about this barrier at all since he had thought that it wouldn't be a match for him now that he had increased his power, but his thoughts turned out to be wrong in the end. As soon as the spikes of ice slammed into the barrier, they were immediately shattered into pieces.
The only effect that they had on the barrier were a few ripples that ran through the barrier itself. However, those ripples disappeared almost immediately after they appeared. It was almost as if they had never happened.
But the ripples that appeared did allow the cloaked figure to see the barrier around him.
When he did, he couldn't help being surprised by it since he couldn't believe that this was an array that was being used in this lower realm. After all, even with his experience, he had never seen an array at this level before.
Just who was the person that had set up the array?
Why were they going against him like this?
The cloaked figure inside the ice wall looked around himself, trying to find the ones attacking him as he shouted, "Who are you! Why are you doing this!"
But all that met his questioning was another round of attacks that landed on the ice wall around him.
Just like before, the attacks were instantly repelled.
It was like this that the two sides had reached a stalemate.
Naturally Lin Fan had been watching this the entire time, so he could see what the situation was. With the current array that he was using with his pets, it would be very hard for him to break through this ice wall shield since this array was one that only gathered life energy.
Even if he had plenty of pets, the life energy alone gathered together wouldn't be a match for a shield in the Nascent Soul Realm.
However, that didn't mean that he couldn't do anything about this.
He had spent a hundred years commanding his beasts, he had plenty of arrays that he could choose from.
Not to mention that he had Brainy on his side now, so even if these beasts hadn't been trained, he could still get them in formation with Brainy helping him manage the array.
So with a single thought, the attacks stopped raining down on the wall of ice.
The cloaked figure was surprised to see this, but he didn't let his guard down by releasing it. He just focused his mind as he released his spiritual sense around him, paying attention to anything that might happen.
There was only silence for the first minute, but then out of the various holes around him came over a hundred different beasts.
When the cloaked figure saw all these beasts surround him, this time he was filled with shock instead of just surprise.
After all, these over a hundred beasts were all in the Child Soul Realm!
The beasts didn't give the cloaked figure any time to make a move as they all roared out and released their auras at the same time.
As they did so, there was another barrier that formed around the cloaked figure in the pit.
