Chapter 280: The Gate of Life and the Gate of Death

His figure paused slightly at the Heavenly Gate, as if he was feeling the breath inside the gate.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and everyone held their breath, waiting for his next move.

He turned around, with a somewhat smug look on his face, and shouted to the human cultivators and monsters who were watching:

"Haha, I'm in! Look, nothing happened. You guys who are dawdling behind can only pick up what I don't want!"

His voice was full of pride and arrogance, as if he had become the winner of this battle for opportunity.

As soon as the voice fell, his figure quickly disappeared into the Heavenly Gate.

The ancient and majestic Heavenly Gate seemed like a mysterious passage that swallowed him in an instant.

Everyone looked at the place where he disappeared, and their hearts were filled with complex emotions.

No one knew what the scene behind the Heavenly Gate was like, but everyone was aroused by his words and was ready to move.

"Damn it, let's fight! I'm going in too!"

"If you're afraid of everything, you'll never achieve anything big in your life!"

"Are you going in? If not, I won't wait for you."

As everyone was talking, the atmosphere on the scene became more and more tense and heated.

One after another, figures entered the Heavenly Gate.

With their own expectations, they rushed to the mysterious Heavenly Gate without hesitation.

Everyone rushed in, like a group of hungry beasts pouncing on their prey.

They were afraid that if they were a step slower, someone else would take away their chance.

Everyone's face was full of eagerness and desire, and their eyes revealed their curiosity and yearning for the unknown world.

At this tempting moment, whether it was a human or a monster, it was difficult to get rid of the influence of the herd mentality.

Especially when someone took the lead, it was difficult for everyone to remain rational and calm.

They were infected by the surrounding atmosphere and driven by their inner desires, and they joined involuntarily.

But Shen Lang was not among these people.

Although he also wanted to go in and feel the wonders of the blessed land, after all, it was a place that countless people dreamed of.

However, Shen Lang knew that he had only one life, and he didn't want to fall into an irreversible situation because of a momentary impulse.

He preferred to act cautiously and would not take risks easily before fully understanding the situation.

Shen Lang stood quietly aside, watching the figures rushing into the Heavenly Gate frantically, thinking about his next move in his heart.

Since there was no obstruction from the mist barrier, Shen Lang decided to double his mental power and feel the situation first.

He closed his eyes, concentrated his energy, and slowly spread his mental power around like an invisible tentacle.

Shen Lang knew that it was crucial to understand the surrounding environment before entering an unknown place.

So as not to be in the dark after entering and fall into a too passive situation.

Thanks to Shen Lang's patience, he was able to keep his composure and sit steadily.

He concentrated on sensing the situation around the blessed land, not missing any subtle changes.

As time went by, Shen Lang's face gradually became solemn.

When he finally completed the perception of the surrounding situation, his heart skipped a few beats.

His face showed a rare fear.

Fortunately, he didn't get excited just now and rushed in with everyone.

Because after Shen Lang investigated the surrounding situation, he suddenly found that this was actually a formation within a formation.

It was an extremely complex and dangerous formation structure, one formation within another, layer upon layer, making it difficult to grasp.

If you rush in rashly, you may fall into endless danger and be unable to extricate yourself.

At first, Shen Lang thought there was only a fog formation here.

In his cognition, this fog formation was a barrier formation specially set up to prevent everyone from entering easily.

When this formation is activated, it will continuously emit fog.

The fog spread out, like a thick curtain, blocking people's sight, making it difficult for people to see the real scene in it.

As the fog dissipated, Shen Lang's perception became clearer.

He was concentrating on investigating the surroundings, not missing any slight changes.

However, after further investigation, Shen Lang was surprised to find that there was a life and death formation inside the mist formation.

This discovery made him feel nervous, and he realized that things were much more complicated than he had imagined.

In other words, at first glance, there seemed to be only one ancient-looking gate.

However, in fact, there are gates of life and death hidden here.

If you find the right gate of life, you will truly enter the paradise and start an adventure full of opportunities and challenges.

But if you fail to see through this disguise and cannot distinguish between the gate of life and the gate of death, endless dangers will be waiting.

It may be an unpredictable trap, a powerful enemy, or other unknown terrifying existence.

In short, once you go to the wrong door, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Ah!"

"God, help me!"

"Back, back, back, back, all back out!"

A creepy scream suddenly came from inside.

The sound seemed to come from the depths of hell, sharp and shrill, making people shudder.

Even though Shen Lang was so far away, he couldn't help but break out in a few cold sweats.

Shen Lang was not the only one who had this reaction.

The human cultivators and monsters who had not yet entered were all the same.

Their faces turned pale in an instant, and their eyes were filled with fear and anxiety.

Especially the three major tribes among the monsters and the four major sects among the human cultivators, who had just wisely not let their disciples rush in. Now they all patted their chests with lingering fear and sighed.

The leader of one of the monster tribes narrowed his eyes slightly and said with amazement:

"It is indeed a paradise left by an emperor. The layout is too exquisite. It is a little too smart. I feel that its strategy and wisdom are not much worse than that of a human brain."

"The combination of the fog array and the life and death array has deterred many creatures. If we had not acted cautiously, we would have fallen into endless danger at this moment."

Another elder of the sect stroked his beard and said solemnly:

"At the beginning, it was said that the paradise appeared and swept away the corpse of the emperor. I didn't believe it. I thought how could an ownerless space have this ability?"

"But now I believe it. The mysterious power and complex array contained in it are definitely not something that ordinary places can possess."

From just now to now, so many lives have disappeared before everyone even entered the ancient and majestic Tianmen.
