After seven days, the ban is lifted.

At that moment, more than five thousand people moved at the same time.

Some people rushed to the door, some fought with each other, and some were killed before they even got close to the door. Blood instantly stained the steps in front of the door, and the screams, roars, and weapons clashed together, and the entire wasteland was shaking.

Lin Qin stood in the distance, watching those who rushed to the front fall one by one. Some were swept away by the aftermath of the ban on the gate and turned into powder on the spot; some were attacked by people from behind and fell to the ground with a knife in the back; some killed each other, and both of them died together.

The first batch of people who rushed forward were at least three hundred, and those who could enter the gate alive were less than fifty.

The second batch rushed up again.

The third batch, the fourth batch----

Half an hour later, the bodies in front of the door had piled up into a mountain. The living people finally learned to be smart and no longer rushed in a swarm. Instead, they were wary of each other and moved slowly towards the door.

Lin Qin then took a step forward.

He passed through the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, and stepped into the gate.

The moment he stepped inside, a terrifying gravity enveloped his whole body.

One hundred times gravity.

Lin Qin's feet paused for a moment, and then returned to normal. A hundred times the gravity, it was just a little uncomfortable for him. He looked up and looked ahead. In front of him was a long corridor, straight ahead, with no end in sight. On both sides of the corridor were stone chambers, one every five hundred feet or so, so densely packed that he couldn't count how many there were.

Gravity Corridor.

According to Fiend Castle's information, this corridor has two thousand floors, and there is a treasure room every five hundred floors, which contains the treasures left by Earth Sovereign. If you want to pass through the corridor, you must go all the way to the end and enter the second floor. With every step forward, the gravity will increase by one point. When you reach the first thousand floor, the gravity will reach 500 times; when you reach the second thousand floor, the gravity will reach a terrifying thousand times.

A thousand times gravity is enough to make it difficult for ordinary Seven-Star Fiend to walk, and Six-Star Fiend to lie directly on the ground unable to move. Only people with strong enough physical bodies can complete the entire journey.

Lin Qin steps forward.

One step, two steps, three steps----

He didn't walk fast, but every step was steady. He seemed not to notice the hundredfold gravity pressing on his body. His clothes didn't move at all, his steps didn't pause for a moment, and he didn't even breathe.

There was a noisy sound behind him. It was the people who were pouring in. Some were still fighting at the door, and some had already rushed into the corridor.

Some people screamed and fell down as soon as they stepped in, and the sound of broken bones could be clearly heard; some gritted their teeth and persisted, taking the first step with difficulty; others attacked each other, pushing the people around them to the ground, and stepping on his corpse to move forward.

Lin Qin There is no looking back.

After walking five hundred feet, he saw the first treasure room.

The door of the treasure room is open, and it is empty inside. Only a jade bottle is placed on the stone platform in the center. The jade bottle is completely transparent, and there is a drop of golden liquid flowing slowly inside - Sovereign’s Might.

Lin Qin walks in, picks up the jade bottle, and collects Space Ring.

There were rapid footsteps behind him. He looked back and saw three people rushing towards him, all of them Six-Star Fiend. When they saw the jade bottle in Lin Qin's hand, greed flashed in their eyes.

"Hand over the jade bottle!" the leader shouted.

Lin Qin said nothing.

When the man saw him Immovable, he laughed ferociously and rushed forward. The two people behind him also took action at the same time, with three attacks coming from three directions.

The sword flashed.

The three of them froze at the same time, looking down at the knife marks on their chests, their eyes filled with disbelief. They didn't even see clearly how Lin Qin drew the knife.

Three bodies fell.

Lin Qin Sheath the sword and continue moving forward.

The three people fell in a pool of blood, their eyes still open, and they were not able to close their eyes. Someone behind them saw this scene from a distance, and their footsteps immediately stopped, and they did not dare to come closer.

After walking thousands of feet, he met the first group of people.

There were seven or eight Six-Star Fiend, gathering together and talking in low voices. When they saw Lin Qin approaching, they stopped at the same time, and their eyes fell on him. Some people had fear in their eyes, some were eager to try, and some took a step back subconsciously.

Lin Qin ignored them and walked past them.

After walking ten feet, there was a sound of breaking through the air behind me.

He didn't look back and stabbed him with his backhand.

The sword flashed, and a scream came from behind. The sneak attack Six-Star Fiend fell to the ground, with a knife mark on his chest running through the front and back. The expressions of the remaining people changed drastically, and they no longer dared to move.

Lin Qin Keep moving forward.

Those few people stood there, not daring to let out their breath. It wasn't until Lin Qin's figure disappeared into the distance that someone trembled and said, "Then - who is that? Why have you never heard of this person?"

"I don't know----but remember his face and walk around him when you see him in the future."

After walking two thousand feet, the gravity has increased to two hundred times.

Lin Qin still has no feeling. His physical body is only a thin line away from Sovereign Artifact, with two hundred times the gravity, just like the breeze blowing, not worth mentioning.

Another treasure room appeared ahead.

This room was larger than the first one, and the stone door was tightly closed. Lin Qin pushed open the stone door and walked in. On the stone platform in the center of the stone room, there was a fist-sized fruit, which was all green and emitted a faint light.

Earth Soul Fruit. A treasure that strengthens the soul.

Lin Qin took a look, picked up the fruit, and collected it Space Ring.

When they walked out of the stone room, there were already more than a dozen people gathered outside. They were all Six-Star Fiend, and there were two Seven-Star Fiend. They stared at Lin Qin, their eyes full of greed and fear.

"Hand over Earth Soul Fruit." Seven-Star Fiend spoke with a deep voice, "We can let you go."

Lin Qin looked at him and said nothing.

The other Seven-Star Fiend sneered, "Don't think that killing a few losers is enough. We two Seven-Star Fiend, plus these dozen people, can you stop it by yourself?"

Lin Qin still didn't speak.

He just pulled out the knife.

The expressions of the two men changed, and they took action at the same time. A dozen people behind them also swarmed forward, and all kinds of attacks came overwhelmingly.

The sword flashed continuously.

Three breaths later, there were seventeen more corpses on the ground. Two Seven-Star Fiend fell at the front, their eyes wide open, and they refused to close their eyes.

Lin Qin Sheathed the knife, walked past the corpse, and continued forward.

His pace was still steady, and there was not a drop of blood on his robes. The seventeen corpses behind him were lying in a mess, with blood flowing into rivers. Someone came from behind, and when they saw this scene, their faces were pale, their legs were weak, and they collapsed directly on the ground.

After walking three thousand feet, the gravity increases to three hundred times.

Lin Qin's pace is still steady. Occasionally, someone catches up from behind, sees him walking alone, and wants to take action, but he kills them all with one strike. One kills one, two kills a pair. After killing more than a dozen people, no one dares to approach him anymore.

Those walking behind would take the initiative to avoid him when they saw him from a distance. Several times he stopped to check the direction, and those behind him were even scared to stop and did not dare to move forward.

Lin Qin ignored them and continued on his way.

When he walked out 3,500 feet, he saw a Six-Star Fiend lying on the ground, shaking all over and bleeding from all his orifices. When the man saw him coming, he stretched out his hand with difficulty and moved his lips, as if asking for help.

Lin Qin walked past him without looking down.

A desperate whimper came from behind, and then became silent.

After walking four thousand feet, he saw the third treasure room.

The stone door was wide open, and there was no one inside. Lin Qin walked in, and there was a golden fruit on the stone platform, exuding a warm breath.

Earth Origin Fruit. A treasure that enhances the physical body.

Lin Qin picked up the fruit and took it into Space Ring. This kind of treasure is of little use to him. His physical body is already close to the strengthening effect of Sovereign Artifact and Earth Origin Fruit. But since he has encountered it, there is no reason not to take it.

When I walked out of the stone room, there was no one outside.

Those people learned wisely and knew that he was not someone to be trifled with, so they stayed away from him.

But Lin Qin knows that they will not hide forever. The further they go, the greater the gravity, and the fewer people can keep up. When they get to the back, those who can survive are the strong ones, and the strong ones are often more greedy.

After walking five thousand feet, the gravity increases to five hundred times.

Five hundred times the gravity is enough to make ordinary Six-Star Fiend lie on the ground unable to move. Lin Qin saw several people in front of them crawling forward with difficulty, gasping for a long time with every step. They saw Lin Qin walking by as if they were walking on flat ground, their eyes full of shock and despair.

Someone reached out to grab his ankle to ask for help, but he kicked him away and rolled into the abyss on the roadside.

No one dared to speak out.

Lin Qin Keep moving forward.

When he walked five thousand five hundred feet, he saw an acquaintance.

It was Seven-Star Fiend, whom I had seen before at the door. The man was resting against the wall, sweating profusely, and his face was pale. When he saw Lin Qin approaching, his pupils suddenly shrank and his whole person became tense.

Lin Qin ignored him and continued to move forward.

The man breathed a sigh of relief and waited until Lin Qin was gone before he dared to move forward.

After walking six thousand feet, the gravity increases to six hundred times.

There are even fewer people here. Lin Qin Looking around, there are only a few figures struggling to move in the empty corridor ahead. They have to stop and breathe every step they take, and some people have to lie down and rest for a long time after taking a few steps.

Lin Qin walked past them as if walking on flat ground.

Those people looked at him with disbelief in their eyes.

"Who--who is this person?" someone murmured.

"I don't know--but remember him, you can't afford to offend someone like him."

After walking seven thousand feet, the gravity increases to seven hundred times.

Lin Qin finally felt a slight pressure. His body was heavier than before, and his pace was half a minute slower, but that was all. He continued to move forward, his breathing was still steady, and there was no sweat on his forehead.

Ahead, he saw the fourth treasure room.

This room is larger than the previous ones, and the stone door is half open. Lin Qin pushed the door open and went in. There was a palm-sized piece of metal placed on the stone platform. It was completely dark, with golden lines flowing on the surface.

Earth God Gold.

Lin Qin picked up the metal and collected it as Space Ring. This thing is priceless and can be exchanged for many good things.

When I walked out of the stone room, there were two people standing outside.

They were all Seven-Star Fiend, a man and a woman. They had strong auras, and they were obviously not ordinary people. When they saw the metal in Lin Qin's hands, greed flashed in their eyes, but they quickly suppressed it.

"Friend." The man opened his mouth and cupped his hands, "Li Feng, this is my roommate Li Yu. We, brother and sister, don't mean any harm, we just want to ask, there is still a long road ahead, friends, would you like to go together?"

Lin Qin looked at him and shook his head.

Li Feng's expression remained unchanged, but he just sighed, "That's all. Invite my friends."

He stepped aside to get out of the way. Li Yu also stepped out of the way, but his eyes kept looking at Lin Qin, thoughtfully.

Lin Qin walked past them and continued forward.

After walking far away, Li Yu's voice came from behind. "Brother, why didn't you stop him?"

"Stop?" Li Feng smiled bitterly, "Don't you see how relaxed he is? Such a person must be extremely strong. Although we brothers and sisters are not afraid of trouble, there is no need to seek death."

"But that Earth God Gold----"

"Life is more important than divine gold." Li Feng interrupted her, "Let's go, there is still a chance ahead."

After walking eight thousand feet, the gravity increases to eight hundred times.

Lin Qin's pace is still steady, but the speed is slower than before. Eight hundred times gravity can already make ordinary Seven-Star Fiend feel strenuous. But for him, it is far from the limit.

Ahead, we finally saw the fifth treasure room.

This treasure room is larger than all the previous treasure rooms. The stone door is black and is engraved with complex formation patterns. The stone door is tightly closed, and there are three people standing in front of it.

They were all Seven-Star Fiend. Two men and one woman, with deep breaths. They were obviously strong among Seven-Star Fiend. They were studying how to open the stone door, and when they heard footsteps, they turned back at the same time.

Seeing Lin Qin, the three people's eyes froze at the same time.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing dark gold armor. He looked Lin Qin up and down, fear flashing in his eyes.

"My friend came just in time." He spoke in a deep voice, "There is a restriction on this stone door, and the three of us are studying how to crack it. If my friend has a way, we might as well come together and share the treasure inside equally."

Lin Qin ignored him and walked directly to the stone gate.

The faces of the three people changed. A tall and thin man snorted coldly, "Boy, don't you know how to show appreciation? There are three of us Seven-Star Fiend, and you want to monopolize it all by yourself?"

Lin Qin still ignored him.

He stood in front of the stone door and put his hand on the door. His spiritual consciousness reached out and felt the restricted fluctuations on the stone door.

Very strong. But to him, it's nothing.

He used the power within his body and pushed hard.

The stone door suddenly opened.

The faces of the three people changed drastically. Greed flashed in the eyes of the tall and thin man, and he rushed directly to the stone room. The other two people also moved at the same time, and three figures rushed into the stone room almost at the same time.

Lin Qin didn't move.

He stood at the door, watching the three people rushing in, watching them pounce on the treasure on the stone platform, and then boom!

A flash of sword light flashed past, and the tall and thin man took the brunt of the attack. He was knocked away and a big hole was opened in his chest. The other two were not much better, one had his arm cut off, and the other was shocked to the point of bleeding from all his orifices.

The three of them fell to the ground, screaming in agony.

Lin Qin then stepped into the stone room.

The treasure on the stone platform is still there - a fist-sized fruit, dark red all over, with fine lines on the surface. It is Abyss Fruit. After taking it, Six-Star Fiend can have the strength of Seven-Star Fiend, but from now on, the strength cannot be increased by half a point.

Lin Qin picked up the fruit and received Space Ring.

He turned and looked at the three people.

The tall and thin man was already dead. The man with the broken arm struggled to stand up. When he turned around, his face turned pale: "No----don't kill me----"

Another woman collapsed on the ground, her eyes full of fear.

Lin Qin glanced at them, said nothing, walked past them, and left the stone room.

Two long exhales came from behind.

After walking nine thousand feet, the gravity increases to nine hundred times.

Lin Qin was still walking on flat ground. He turned around and glanced behind him. Those people who were originally following him were no longer visible.

Nine hundred times the force of gravity is enough to eliminate 99% of people. Those who can reach this point are either Seven-Star Fiend or Six-Star Fiend, who is extremely physically strong.

Ahead, the corridor gradually becomes narrower. Murals begin to appear on the stone walls on both sides, carving some ancient patterns--

Some people are fighting giant beasts, some are worshiping gods, and some are overlooking all living beings from the top of mountains.

Lin Qin didn't look any further and continued moving forward.

After walking thousands of feet, gravity finally reached a thousand times.

A thousand times gravity is enough to slow down the movements of ordinary Seven-Star Fiend, and make even the strong Asura level feel the pressure. Lin Qin finally felt the pressure, his body sank slightly, and his pace slowed down a bit.

But that's all.

He continued to move forward, his pace still steady.

Ahead, I finally saw the end of the corridor. It was a huge stone door, about ten feet high, all earthy yellow, and covered with complex formation patterns. The stone door was half open, and a faint light could be seen coming from inside.

Entrance to the second floor.

Lin Qin quickened his pace and walked towards the door.

Suddenly, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps behind him. He looked back and saw the three Seven-Star Fiend walking towards this direction with difficulty - the same three people who stopped him before. They were shaking all over, and every step was extremely difficult, but there was a crazy light in their eyes.

Seeing Lin Qin turn around, the three of them stopped at the same time.

Shi Feng gasped and said with difficulty, "Friend----friend----it's the second floor in front----you go first----we won't grab----"

Lin Qin looked at them without saying anything.

His eyes swept over the three of them. Shi Feng's legs were shaking, Qing Zhu's face was as pale as paper, and there was blood on the corners of Lie Yun's mouth. A thousand times gravity was already the limit for them.

Lin Qin withdrew his gaze and continued walking towards the stone gate.

When he reached the door, he stopped and pressed his hand on the door.

He glanced back behind him.

The three people were still moving forward with difficulty, still three hundred feet away from him. At their speed, it would take at least half an hour to get here. And further back, no one could be seen.

Lin Qin withdrew his gaze and pushed open the stone door.

Behind the door is a huge space. In the center of the space is a huge Maze, which is composed of countless passages, winding and intricate. There is a thick fog hanging above Maze, which cannot be penetrated by spiritual consciousness.

Second floor, Maze.

Lin Qin stood at the door and his eyes fell on the Maze. Maze was so big that it was so big that the edges could not be seen. Countless passages were intertwined like a spider web, some going straight forward, some twisting, some circling upwards, and some extending downwards. Each passage was exactly the same, making it difficult to tell the direction.

Above Maze, thick fog rolled and surged, and occasionally lights could be seen flickering in it.

Lin Qin stepped into Maze.
