Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 1135 - 1145: Soul-locking Chain

Chu Feng didn't continue bickering with Ye Wu because the way ahead was filled with mist, requiring caution and vigilance.

If they were to be attacked by the hidden spirits inside, it would be disastrous.

Since she wanted to form a team with Chu Feng, so be it. After all, for Chu Feng, it wouldn't be a loss.

Before reaching the core forbidden area of the Immortal Tomb, these tomb raiders should maintain basic unity. They wouldn't fall out so quickly.

They had been running forward for a long time before Chu Feng realized that Wangxiang Platform was very safe.

Besides the mist that allowed people to see past events in this life, there was no other danger. Unless some unfortunate soul accidentally fell from Wangxiang Platform, then they could only blame their short lives.

Finally, they rushed to the other end of Wangxiang Platform.

"Oh my God, what is that?"

Ye Wu covered her open cherry lips with her hand.

In front of them was still thick mist, with a black chain extending from the edge of Wangxiang Platform into the depths ahead, connected to an unknown destination.

Chu Feng's gaze pierced through the mist and saw that it was empty below.

In other words, the black chain ahead was suspended in mid-air.

How high could it be? It took Chu Feng two full days to climb up from below. The height was conservatively estimated to be over fifty thousand meters.

A conspicuous giant stele stood beside the start of the chain.

"Soul-locking Chain!"

This black chain, as thick as an arm, was called the Soul-locking Chain. Its length was impossible to estimate.

Only by walking over could they know how long it really was.

"Once you enter the Ghost Gate, there's no return. I urge you to think thrice and act with caution!"

Bright red ancient script warns every aspiring traveler who wishes to step onto the Soul-locking Chain and enter the Ghost Gate Pass. The road ahead is a no-return path; once you step on it, there's no turning back.

This Soul-locking Chain is much harder to traverse than a single-plank bridge.

"Look, there's someone on the Soul-locking Chain!" Chang Erliu's startled voice echoed.

Through layers of mist, Chu Feng indeed saw a blurry figure moving forward with difficulty.

It seemed like there was a strong Yin Wind blowing at the chain's center. The figure on the chain swayed and stumbled, making one sweat for them.

Really worried he might fall off.

"It looks like the silhouette of Senior Qin Jian!" Chu Feng was deeply shocked.

Scholar Qin Jian should be one of the foremost among all the tomb explorers this time.

The strength of others was clear, and coupled with his in-depth understanding of the Immortal Tomb, it's no wonder he could maintain a lead. It's only natural.

"We should hurry over as well! If we go too late, the inheritance of the Qiankun Sword Emperor and many treasures might be monopolized by Scholar Qin Jian." Ye Wu gritted her teeth and resolutely stepped onto the Soul-locking Chain.

As soon as she stepped on, her body started shaking violently.

After a moment, she stopped shaking, but her entire self had undergone a slight change. She could no longer turn back or make a sound.

"Could this Soul-locking Chain be a Magical Treasure?" Chu Feng carefully examined the Soul-locking Chain, and it indeed seemed possible.

Not to mention its other attributes, just its length isn't something an ordinary person could manipulate.

If it's indeed a Magical Treasure, it's at least of the Innate level.

"Brother Chu, are you going or not?"

"If Ye Wu didn't hold a grudge against this young master, I wouldn't leave you this golden opportunity to curry favor." Chang Erliu blinked slyly at Chu Feng.

This guy's skin is ridiculously thick.

Chu Feng didn't even engage with him, yet he kept trying to chat with Chu Feng proactively.

"Since we're here, let's be at ease, life and death are determined by the heavens, my fate depends on me, not the heavens!" Chu Feng also resolutely stepped onto the Soul-locking Chain.

Upon stepping on, he felt like a piece of magnetic metal, firmly attracted to it.

He couldn't move, and his Divine Soul was firmly locked by some mysterious force. No wonder Ye Wu shook all over when she stepped on.

Now, Chu Feng was experiencing this firsthand.

With the Divine Soul locked, it felt as if he was under a spell.

He couldn't turn back, couldn't speak, just knew to walk forward like a zombie. He hadn't completely lost consciousness, though.

He merely became a robot, with his mind programmed for the first sequence, second sequence...

Chu Feng's primary directive was to walk along this Soul-locking Chain until he reached the end at Ghost Gate Pass.

Whoever originally designed this chain likely intended to prevent spirits from suddenly turning back once they stepped onto it.

There are plenty of spirits unwilling to enter the Ghost Gate Pass.

Humans often have such legendary tales, of someone considered dead after days of unconsciousness surprisingly waking up and recounting a dream of nearly reaching the Ghost Gate Pass but escaping back.

People would then bless such a person, saying they survived a great ordeal.

Walking on the Soul-locking Chain, one only mechanically steps forward.

As he moved deeper into the chain, the Yin Wind blew stronger, and the swaying of the chain grew more intense.

Chu Feng gradually found it strenuous, nearly falling off multiple times.

He was sure that falling off would mean becoming a native here, possibly soon serving under the Wailing Ghost King as a Ghost General.

He now understood why, even with Scholar Qin Jian's strength, it was so difficult to walk on the Soul-locking Chain.

Even experts at the Earth Immortal Realm Perfection would tread carefully.

The length of the Soul-locking Chain was much longer than expected, initially thought to be at most a few kilometers. Now they realized it was over ten thousand meters long, possibly even longer.

It seemed to connect two different realms.

While Wangxiang Platform belonged to the underworld, there was a chance to return to the Yang World.

But once one entered the Ghost Gate Pass, there would no longer be that opportunity.

The Yin Wind fiercely lashed against the body, penetrating deep into the soul, inflicting unprecedented pain on Chu Feng.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King drifted out voluntarily to embrace the Yin Wind.

"Mokeboer, what are you doing?" Chu Feng sent a message through Divine Sense.

He noticed a slight delay in his Divine Sense transmission.

"Master, these Yin Winds are extremely rare Soul Corrosive Cold Winds, usually found only in the abyss of the Netherworld. It's truly strange to find them here. Could this place really be a corner of the Netherworld?"

The Demon Eye Evil Spirit King was knowledgeable, especially about matters concerning the underworld.

"Soul Corrosive Cold Wind harms all spiritual bodies. However, this is only superficial, as it can actually be used to deliberately temper one's soul body, making it stronger and more solid. Cultivating here for two hours is equivalent to cultivating outside for more than ten years."

No wonder the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King came out to embrace the Yin Wind.
