Chapter 91: Perilous Steps

Many Tianjiao cautiously moved forward in the ruins space, encountering no danger along the way. However, the oppressive atmosphere permeating the air made everyone feel extremely suffocated.

"Look, there's a platform over there."

Someone exclaimed, and instantly everyone looked over, seeing a wide platform rising like a training platform amidst the boundless sandstorm.

"There's a spiritual energy fluctuation. Could this platform be the gateway to the next stage?"

Zhang Bufan spoke softly, then added, "Who will go up and take a look?"

As his words fell, no one stepped forward. No one dared to guarantee whether the platform was dangerous or not, as hasty exploration could easily result in becoming cannon fodder.

"The Divine Saint Ruins hold profound opportunities. Who wouldn't want to seize the chance to gain an advantage?" Zhang Bufan spoke again, tempting some to consider.

However, the majority remained cautious, unwilling to rashly explore.

"I'll give it a try."

At this moment, a True Martial Seventh Level expert stepped forward and ascended the platform.

His strength was relatively weak, and even if he discovered any opportunities, it would be difficult for him to compete. Thus, he decided to take a gamble. If he could truly seize an opportunity, he might gain some fortune.

Since they had entered this place, they had already prepared themselves to face danger.

"No problem."

The person stood on the platform, seeing no immediate danger, and breathed a sigh of relief. Dozens of Tianjiao also relaxed, preparing to step onto the platform to take a look.

But at that moment, the platform suddenly began to tremble, as if some force had been triggered. Countless sharp blades shot up from beneath the platform, whistling through the air.

Subsequently, the crowd was shocked to see the person standing on the platform being pierced by countless blades, turning into a pool of flesh and blood. The crimson blood flowed on the platform, strangely absorbed by it.

"Hiss!"

This scene made everyone gasp in horror, their hearts pounding wildly. They had almost stepped onto the platform themselves.

"Be careful, there's something wrong."

Zhang Bufan suddenly spoke, his expression unprecedentedly serious as he stared at the platform.

Just as his words fell, the platform began to rotate, spinning faster and faster, accompanied by countless sharp blades whistling through the air like a downpour of swords.

"Ah!"

In an instant, screams rang out, and people began to fall.

"It's a formation, an attacking formation. Be cautious, everyone."

Zhang Bufan's expression changed drastically. Without hesitation, he erupted with power to resist the endless rain of swords.

"Who among you is an alchemist and understands formations? Break the formation quickly." Zhang Bufan spoke urgently as he struggled to hold off the sword rain.

"This is not an ordinary formation; it's a teleportation killing formation that cannot be broken." Among the dozens of Tianjiao, there was indeed an alchemist who spoke heavily.

"What do we do then?" someone asked.

"We can only find the teleportation point and shuttle through the killing formation. It's the only way." The alchemist responded.

"Shuttling through the formation is tantamount to seeking death. I'm not playing anymore; I'm quitting." A Tianjiao's heart trembled violently. Going deeper into the killing formation was even more dangerous. It was a matter of life and death, and he was not willing to take the risk.

"How is that possible? There's no way back!"

But the next moment, the person was terrified. He tried to retreat, but found that there was no way back.

This sudden change made those Tianjiao who had also thought about retreating tremble in fear.

"The killing formation is activated. There's no way out except forward. There's no third option." The alchemist spoke heavily.

The rest of the Tianjiao realized the situation and their expressions became solemn.

There was no third option. Either they broke through or they would be swallowed by the endless rain of swords.

"Alchemists, step forward. The rest of you protect them and find the teleportation point. Everyone, unite, or we will all die." Zhang Bufan was decisive, immediately making arrangements.

There was no dissent among the Tianjiao; they instantly divided into two camps.

All the warriors stayed outside, protecting the alchemists within, and moved towards the platform.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The terrifying sword rain became denser and denser, claiming the lives of more and more True Martial Seventh Level Tianjiao.

"Hold on!"

Zhang Bufan gritted his teeth. If the formation camp fell into chaos, it would be a total disaster.

"Clang!"

Many alchemists seemed to have suffered a great blow, spitting blood one after another. But a voice of joy sounded like heavenly music.

"We've found it. Enter from below the platform; that's the way out."

This voice seemed like the most beautiful sound in the world to the relieved warriors. They eagerly rushed towards the crack below the platform.

Sure enough, it was a teleportation point. As they approached, they disappeared one by one from their original positions.

After the last remaining person disappeared, the terrifying platform formation gradually calmed down, as if it had never operated before.

However, more than ten hideous corpses on the ground testified to the terror of the platform formation.

"Phew, we're finally

 safe."

People appeared one after another in a vast white space, all breathing a sigh of relief, feeling grateful that they had survived.

At that moment, it felt like they had just narrowly escaped death and returned alive, making them realize how terrifying the Divine Ruins space was.

"Looks like we're in another space again. Everyone, be careful." Everyone surveyed their surroundings, a white mist shrouding everything, making it impossible to see into the distance.

After experiencing the platform's killing formation, everyone's minds were completely tense, not daring to be the slightest bit careless as they cautiously moved forward.

"Fog, everyone be careful."

Seeing some warriors stepping forward only to disappear in an instant, Zhang Bufan quickly halted the people from the Purple Hades Domain, vigilantly watching ahead.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, several screams came from within the mist, as if the warriors who had entered earlier had encountered something terrifying.

The piercing screams made the remaining Tianjiao tremble in fear.

What a terrifying ruins space, it's truly full of deadly traps.

At this moment, many regretted why they had entered such a terrifying space in the first place.
