Lord Youjian shouted, telling everyone to activate their True Essence barriers to resist the miasma surging towards them.
Subsequently, the martial artists pushed their True Essence to the limit, forming True Essence barriers.
These barriers wrapped around their bodies, resisting the relentless invasion of the deathly miasma.
They felt as if they had fallen into an endless quagmire, making every movement extremely difficult, their eyes showing pain, while their True Essence barriers were swiftly corroded.
The deathly miasma could erode their True Essence barriers, even catching Lord Youjian by surprise.
After all, he was a Daoist Lord of the Great Perfection level, with combat strength comparable to a Half-step Saint Realm expert.
Yet now, his True Essence barrier couldn’t withstand the deathly miasma within the Nine Nether Great Tomb and was being slowly corroded, leaving everyone shocked with fear in their eyes.
"Ah~~" At this moment, a strong expert of Great Perfection in Asking Realm cried out in agony.
His True Essence defense barrier was directly eroded by the deathly miasma, which invaded his body, rapidly devouring his vitality. In less than five breaths, the Great Perfection expert completely perished.
"Ah~~" Successive screams rang out, filling everyone’s eyes with terror.
Martial artists below the Proof of Dao realm simply had no way to resist the terrifying deathly miasma.
The miasma was utterly frightening, and at this rate, within half a stick of incense’s time, all martial artists below the Proof of Dao realm would die in the Nine Nether Great Tomb, as two more Great Perfection experts perished soon after.
Lord Youjian furrowed his brows and loudly commanded, "All those below the Proof of Dao realm, retreat immediately!"
Upon hearing Lord Youjian’s instructions, the strong experts below the Proof of Dao realm quickly fled.
Luckily, they were only about ten meters away from the entrance; otherwise, they wouldn’t have known where to escape.
Lord Youjian furrowed his brows, realizing why the Nine Nether Great Tomb was regarded as the foremost of the Four Forbidden Lands.
In the other three forbidden lands, a strong expert of Great Perfection in Asking Realm entering the Outer Court wouldn’t encounter such danger.
Yet in the Nine Nether Great Tomb, a Great Perfection expert in Asking Realm was injured within a few breaths after entering, and their defenses were swiftly broken by the deathly miasma, leading to immediate death. How could this not be shocking?
Soon, only the martial artists of the Proof of Dao realm were left. The Proof of Dao realm martial artists looked curiously at Lord Youjian, asking, "Lord Youjian, what should we do? Do we continue to pursue Ye Feng?"
"Let’s go a bit further and take a look," Lord Youjian said with a furrowed brow, then led them deeper into the Nine Nether Great Tomb.
Before long, Lord Youjian and his group had ventured several kilometers deeper, and they stopped.
"Lord Youjian, my True Essence barrier is about to give way!" Just then, an early-stage Proof of Dao expert cried out, aware of the dire consequences if their barrier shattered.
"Mine is barely holding up too!" One after another, the early-stage Proof of Dao experts shouted out loudly.
Lord Youjian frowned, sensing the increasingly dense aura of death around him. If they didn’t retreat now and continued further, even he might not endure. Furthermore, they might get lost, unable to find the way out, prompting Lord Youjian to make a decisive decision.
"We retreat first!" Lord Youjian shouted, and upon hearing his command, everyone shuddered with a sense of urgency and excitement, quickly boosting their speed to retreat.
Lord Youjian too, looked terrified. In no time, Lord Youjian and everyone had retreated outside the Nine Nether Great Tomb, gazing at the tomb behind them, all panting, feeling a lingering fear.
They now had to admit the terror of the Nine Nether Great Tomb, the foremost of the Four Forbidden Lands. Had they continued inside, they might have faced annihilation. The group curiously looked at Lord Youjian, asking, "What now, Daoist Lord?"
"Wait!" Lord Youjian loudly proclaimed, "That Ye Feng is only an early-stage Asking Realm martial artist; I don’t believe he could withstand that deathly miasma. Even if he could, it would only be for a short while. He surely wouldn’t dare delve deep into the Nine Nether Great Tomb. We will wait here; he will certainly come out!"
Everyone nodded, agreeing with Lord Youjian, for they had already felt the terror of the Nine Nether Great Tomb. They waited patiently outside for Ye Feng, confident that within a few days, Ye Feng would emerge. If he didn’t, it meant he perished inside.
However, they didn’t know that Ye Feng, after entering the Nine Nether Great Tomb, wasn’t afraid of the deathly miasma at all!
At this moment, Ye Feng was moving deeper into the Nine Nether Great Tomb, inch by inch, his Sky Battle Armor donned. Meanwhile, Ye Feng unleashed the power of his Destruction Dao Body to its fullest.
The Power of Destruction covered the Sky Battle Armor, forming a destruction defense screen. The endless deathly miasma surged against this barrier, as if meeting a natural nemesis, the countless deathly miasma being neutralized by Ye Feng’s destruction defense screen, unable to harm him at all.
Ye Feng continued moving through the Nine Nether Great Tomb, completely ignoring the surrounding deathly miasma. No matter how dense or corrosive the miasma became, Ye Feng remained unbothered, strolling through the tomb like it was his backyard, his expression relaxed and leisurely.
In the Nine Nether Great Tomb, Ye Feng seemed to know the way, advancing without any sign of wandering in circles.
