Chapter 2208 - 2201: The Gate of Giants
"What happened?" Everyone gathered at the spot where they came in, but the entrance had already vanished, and no one even noticed when it disappeared.
"Perhaps some geological changes occurred just now, and the exit was relocated," those Realm Breakers appeared very calm. After all, in their view, even if the exit really disappeared, with their power, it would just take a bit of time to penetrate the rock layer and escape.
"Maybe something is just blocking it?" A Realm Breaker from Honghu Academy stepped forward.
"We tried just now, but it won’t open at all."
"Isn’t it possible that your strength is just too weak?" That Realm Breaker was obviously arrogant, and he sneered contemptuously, after all, these people were merely Peak Transcenders, and the gap in power between them was like a chasm.
He swung his fist at the position they entered, directly smashing a fist shadow onto the wall.
But the punch only knocked off some sand and stone, not leaving even a trace.
"How is this possible?" His face changed dramatically, even though he only used a fraction of his strength with this punch, easily capable of killing a Peak Transcender in a second, yet how could he fail to break through a wall?
He suddenly became much more serious, and even the surrounding Energy turned violent.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
He struck forward relentlessly with his fists, but there was absolutely no effect!
"What kind of rock is this?" Another Realm Breaker tried in other areas, but no matter how he attacked, he couldn’t inflict any damage on the wall, and even a few unlucky Transcenders were injured by the shock of this powerful force.

"Stop acting insane!" The leader from the Moyan Family sternly reprimanded, "What kind of panic is this? Just this little issue and you’re all losing your heads? Who knows how you’ll handle even bigger problems in the future!"
This rebuke calmed the few members of the Moyan Family who had lost their composure, their faces turning somewhat red; their earlier outburst had indeed been quite embarrassing.
"It seems like we’re trapped!" Reluctant to admit it, but it does appear to be true, which is incredibly troublesome.
The entire underground space had no exits, surrounded by these walls, even the Peak Realm Breakers found it exceedingly difficult to break through.
"He was right after all," Zhang Menglong was mentally prepared so he wasn’t overly panicked. He believed there must be a way out; they just needed to find it. Didn’t he mention a door earlier? If there’s a door, there must be a way out!
Of course, finding that door wouldn’t be easy, and opening it would likely be even harder.
Ignoring the noisy crowd, Zhang Menglong continued examining the information left by a predecessor.
"Damn, isn’t this trying to get us killed?" Zhang Menglong suddenly cursed while reading.
When that predecessor was trapped here, he had found the door, but opening it required the use of Soul Power!
However, in this space, there is a Will of the Soul, which, upon feeling any presence of Soul Power, immediately eradicates it, something even the Realm Breakers’ souls cannot resist.
Indeed, either they die trapped inside or they’re erased by that Will of the Soul, truly leaving no hope!
"There’s really no useful information," Zhang Menglong shook his head, but then he thought, if those people truly had any clues to provide, they probably would have escaped and wouldn’t be trapped here.
"Dean, could this Will of the Soul be related to the Ancient Humans’ soul on you?"
"Probably not," Zhang Menglong considered, but his soul would have a very clear response when encountering related things.
Like the golden colloid on the Blood Slave Beast, and also when he encountered Xiaolin at birth, that reaction was magnified tenfold and a hundredfold.
Logically, those golden alternations are related to the Blood Pond, and the Blood Pond is connected to this cave, leading Zhang to think there might be some connection between the cave and his soul.
But since entering here, he hasn’t felt anything, causing him some disappointment.
The information left by the predecessor included only these details, and also described the underground space; back then this wasn’t a lake, but a mountain.
One night, a golden light beam shot to the sky, accompanied by a towering golden Giant, spreading a vast Soul Power.
Everyone who felt this power guessed there must be a treasure, so they came in droves.
Regarding this place, there is no written record, nor even legends.
"Found it, found it!" At this moment, someone shouted in surprise.
Someone had vented impulsively against the surrounding walls due to agitation, unexpectedly collapsing part of a wall, revealing two gigantic doors!
The doors were nearly a hundred meters tall, and entirely dark gold, each engraved with a Giant.
At first glance, the two Giants seemed identical, but upon close inspection, there were many differences in detail. The Giant on the left looked relatively rough, while the one on the right appeared more exquisite.
The Moyan Family was merely here for their ancestor’s corpse, and since they’d already obtained it, they weren’t much interested in other things. Their sole desire now was to leave this cursed place swiftly.
But when they attempted to push the doors, they wouldn’t budge, not even by using brute force.
"To open this door, it likely requires Soul Power!" someone reminded from the side.
"How do you know?" Everyone turned their gaze toward the speaker.
He was just a Peak Transcender, and suddenly being targeted by so many Realm Breakers left him struggling for breath.
"I... I found some information on a skeleton describing just that, but whether it’s true, I don’t know."
"Using Soul Power? Isn’t that courting death?" The Realm Breakers who had suffered losses previously complained, "What’s your agenda?"
Suddenly, a wave of pressure bore down on him.
The Peak Transcender’s back was almost soaked with sweat, fearful of deceiving them.
"You give it a try!" Suddenly, a burly man from Honghu Academy looked at him and said.
"Me?" He retreated several steps, "Using Soul Power will result in backlash."
"That’s why you need to try," the burly man sneered, "If you try, you might survive; if not, I’ll kill you now!"
