102 Mausoleum
Not only that, it seems that when he got that map and activated the spirit in it, it seems to have caused some sort of chain reaction; otherwise, the timing would not be the same.
He did not believe in such a coincidence; there is definitely a problem here. Because of the rumours, many martial artists seem to be moving in and out of the Phoenix Valley, trying to get the treasure or obtain some lucky chance to break through or change their destiny.
But as many martial artists ventured into the valley, the beasts there were also agitated and attacked numerous martial artists in the valley; some even started to roam outside the valley, creating more chaos.
Such change did not stop the martial artists from coming here to get a chance to change their destiny, so now the valley is crawling with humans and beasts trying to find the treasure.
"Let's see how the Phoenix Valley is."
Now that he had a general understanding, he left the city and went towards the Phoenix Valley.
When Jiang Chen came close to the valley, he started to see groups of martial artists coming out and going into the Phoenix Valley.
Many of the individuals attempting to obtain the treasures in the valley were spirit masters due to the strength of the beasts there. However, some innate martial artists were taking risks. In the last two weeks, numerous natural treasures of heaven and earth have been discovered by various martial artists.
He did not care about all of this and quickly entered the Phoenix Valley. After he moved a little deeper into the valley, he already felt the change in the surroundings.
The heaven and earth qi in the valley seems to be more violent, containing a bit of a Phoenix aura, making it difficult for ordinary martial artists to absorb the qi. Not only that, he even felt the space around him had many fine cracks that made it difficult for King realm martial artists to tear apart the space to move.
A little carelessness might lead to a disaster or space storm that either shreds the martial artist into millions of pieces or teleports him to an unknown place, which can be as far as millions of kilometres to another world in severe cases.
Because of this, Jiang Chen did not dare to fly while tearing space, as he still did not want to leave this world.
But even then, his flying speed was unimaginably fast, and he quickly entered deeper parts of the valley where the strongest beast resided.
He moved in the direction mentioned on the map with caution, as he could not be sure what was in that place; it could be a treasure or a trap. So, he used his spirit to scan his surroundings to be ready to face anything.
"This should be the place."
Jiang Chen finally arrived at the exact location he got from the old map, but looking around, it looked like an ordinary place with nothing here.
"No, it's weird here."
He felt a little different here, as his spirit seemed to be suppressed, and there seemed, to be a gap in the space.
"Formation!"
He immediately understood the reason, as there seemed to be a formation that was hiding the space, which is even more difficult for King Realm martial artists to find.
Jiang Chen was also able to find the peculiarity because he knew the exact location, and after careful observation, he knew the difference.
He had some knowledge of formation, and although this formation is quite high-grade, maybe the formation was cast thousands of years ago, and now that it is already very old, there seem to be some small cracks in it.
All he needed to do now was attack the weak point with his strength to fully break the formation. The attack at least needed to reach the middle stage of the human king realm to damage the formation.
Thankfully, Jiang Chen now had such strength; otherwise, even knowing this place, he would not be able to open it.
The aura around him immediately changed as a dark, crimson, murderous aura filled with slaughter covered him, shaking the space hundreds of metres around him.
Slowly, the murderous aura around hundreds of metres condensed into a two-metre-long sword and appeared in his hand.
Jiang Chen looked at the space covered by the formation and slightly moved his hand.
"Cut!"
And instantly, he slashed the hidden formation in front of him with the Dark Crimson Slaughter sword.
Zzzz! Zzz!
The void around him started to tremble as the sword touched an invisible barrier, which was trying to stop Jiang Chen's sword.
Crack! Crack!..... But after a second, the formation barrier could not seem to hold on, and with a bang, it broke.
Boom!
A large explosion happened, creating a large shock that destroyed a few kilometres of nearby land and plants.
But as the formation broke, suddenly, a big ancient mausoleum appeared that was hidden in the formation, releasing a supreme aura and a gigantic sky-reaching light pillar that could be clearly felt or seen by the martial artists in the valley, even outside the Phoenix Valley martial artists of various kingdoms can also see and feel the vastness of the large light pillar in the sky.
The pillar that seemed to touch the sky shocked all the martial artists or the beasts who suddenly saw it, especially the martial artists and intelligent beasts in the Phoenix Valley.
They felt the supreme and vast aura that made their blood and soul tremble with fright, feeling the horror of it.
But that fear appeared for a moment, and only the excitement and greed left the hearts of all martial artists who looked at the pillar in the sky.
Whether they were human martial artists or the Beasts, all of them, galloped in that direction without caring about anything else.
They all wanted the opportunity that suddenly appeared.
Because of the noise made by the appearance of the mausoleum, martial artists at that time did not notice that the aura of the Phoenix Valley was changing, becoming more weird and eerie.
