Chapter 721: The Descent of the Spirit Treasure Secret Realm
At this moment.
As someone exclaimed in surprise, the previously bored and impatient crowd suddenly had their eyes light up with excitement, their gazes all directed toward a specific direction.
In a certain valley, chaotic and violent energy fluctuations began spreading. These violent energies seemed to manifest as the illusory shadow of a giant dragon radiating seven-colored light.
Roar!!
The dragon shadow raised its head and let out a deafening roar.
Then, the dragon shadow dispersed into countless specks of light, which ultimately converged into an enormous gate of light.
The gate of light radiated dazzling seven-colored brilliance, resembling a blazing seven-colored sun. Most peculiarly, the cliffs of the seven surrounding peaks began to crumble, shedding countless rocks.
Eventually, seven massive, colorful peaks were revealed before everyone.
Buzz!!
After revealing their true colors, the seven stone peaks emitted boundless beams of energy into the gate of light, as if continuously channeling power to open it.
"The Spirit Treasure Secret Realm has finally descended!"
Countless people gazed at the massive gate of light with excitement, their expressions revealing intense greed!
The Spirit Treasure Secret Realm.
Also known as the Radiant Secret Realm.
It is a super-large special resource dungeon that only appears on the Radiant Plains.
The timing of its descent is unpredictable.
Sometimes it appears once in decades; other times, centuries pass without its appearance.
Yet every time it descends, it sparks fierce competition among the factions of the Sacred Continent.
Many originally mediocre Professionals have entered the Spirit Treasure Secret Realm, obtained extraordinary top-tier resources, unlocked their potential, and risen to prominence as renowned powerhouses.
Therefore, many Professionals view the Spirit Treasure Secret Realm as a golden opportunity for transformation.
Now.
With the Spirit Treasure Secret Realm having descended, everyone's hearts were racing. Their future prospects now hinged on the encounters they might have in this secret realm!
Under the crowd's watchful gaze,
after five minutes of energy absorption, the massive seven-colored gate finally gathered enough power to open.
Buzz!!
Amidst profound and mysterious fluctuations, the colossal gate of light began to open slowly!
"Charge!"
"The Spirit Treasure is mine!"
In an instant,
countless Professionals let out frenzied roars, and the entire mountain range erupted into chaos. Figures hidden in the mountains surged forward in madness, racing toward the seven-colored gate without hesitation.
Ling Zhan and his group watched the swarm of people rushing forward like locusts, a hint of fervor flashing in their eyes.
Their reason for accepting this Spirit Treasure mission, apart from completing the task, was the same as these Professionals': to find treasures in the Spirit Treasure Secret Realm and further enhance their strength.
Of course...
The most enticing aspect was that simply entering the Spirit Treasure Secret Realm granted immense experience points per second. Furthermore, successfully harvesting a single heavenly material or treasure would yield enormous harvesting experience!
This meant that as long as one entered the Spirit Treasure Secret Realm and relentlessly sought and harvested treasures—whether they were B-grade materials or C-grade materials—they would gain significant experience points upon successful collection.
"We should head out now, or the opportunity will be lost," Avril urged as she stood up.
The group nodded.
Immediately, four figures dashed forward, heading straight for the gate of light.
As Ling Zhan was about to step through the gate, he felt a gaze on him. Turning his head, he saw Ding Haoji, Zhang Mingruo, and Yamashita Masahiko standing on the other side of the gate, staring at him with sinister expressions.
When they noticed Ling Zhan's calm gaze, they raised their hands and slowly made a throat-slitting gesture.
The meaning of their action was clear.
It was a warning to Ling Zhan: once inside the Spirit Treasure Secret Realm, he'd better stay out of their way. If he crossed paths with them, they'd cut off his head!
Ling Zhan paid them no mind and stepped through the seven-colored gate with his companions.
The massive seven-colored gate resembled a vortex or black hole, swallowing everyone who entered without limit.
However, the Spirit Treasure Secret Realm did have a cap on the number of entrants.
This was why the Professionals were so frantic; they feared they wouldn't make it in time and would be shut out.
Soon...
As the crowd surged in, the gate's radiance began to dim, and its seven-colored glow gradually faded.
The heavy gate slowly closed.
"Damn it! Just a step too late!"
Those who had narrowly escaped the Dark Venom Mountain Range's monsters and arrived here after great effort let out despairing wails.
Some even broke down and cried on the spot.
After all, this was the Spirit Treasure Secret Realm!
Missing this opportunity meant not knowing when the next one would come.
After such a rare event, being unable to participate due to various delays was devastating.
Realizing they'd missed countless resources and a golden chance to turn their lives around, some already fragile-minded Professionals began sobbing uncontrollably.
For a while, the picturesque inner region of the Dark Venom Mountain Range was filled with the sound of wailing.
However, this was the Professionals' own fault.
Their strength was simply too weak.
If they got entangled with monsters in the outer area, it would take them half a day to escape.
Ling Zhan had actually been quite unlucky earlier, encountering the Crystal Python King, a BOSS monster of the outer area.
Even teams from organizations like the Demon Dragon Palace and Ten Thousand Beast Alliance would find it troublesome to deal with.
If Ling Zhan hadn't intervened, Avril and the others would likely have ended up just like those crying in despair, unable to enter the Spirit Treasure Secret Realm.
Now.
The Spirit Treasure Secret Realm's closure indicated that it had reached its maximum capacity of 100,000 entrants.
"Crying won't help. No way am I leaving empty-handed!"
"I'm staying right here, waiting for them to come out one by one!"
"If I see someone weak, I'll rob them! Kill them outright!"
As expected,
many ruthless individuals remained.
Even though they couldn't enter the secret realm, they decided to wait at the entrance and prey on unlucky souls as they emerged.
This was the law of the jungle.
Those unfortunate enough to be targeted could only blame their bad luck.
