After everyone had rushed through the stone gates,
Tongtian immediately reversed the magic array to close them!
Rumble!
As the magic array reversed, everything damaged on the altar was restored. Not only the shattered stone statues, but even the four pillars Tongtian and the others had destroyed returned completely to their original state!
Restoring the magic array was easy, however; closing the gates was no simple task.
"Close, damn you!"
Tongtian gritted his teeth, divine light coursing through all four limbs,
pushing the Godslaying Array he had already inscribed to its utmost limit.
Yet the massive stone gates, a thousand feet tall, still closed at a turtle's pace.
The Prince of Dong'an, the Old Sword God, and the other Primordial Chaos Realm experts all rushed over, hoping to help Tongtian close the gates,
but the moment they intervened, the magic array on the gates ground to a halt!
"This magic array can only be operated by one person!"
"Prince of Dong'an, Old Sword God, take everyone inside immediately! The farther away, the better!"
Everyone froze at his words.
The Old Sword God had never thought much of Tongtian, but this sight left him astonished.
"You're that lad with the enormous appetite. I remember you!"
"My Divine Sword Sect owes you a favor!"
"Take care of yourself!"
With that, the Old Sword God immediately led the Divine Sword Sect disciples deeper into the secret realm, vanishing into the halo of light in the blink of an eye.
The Five Elements Sect elder hesitated, but once he sensed the aura of Spirit Treasures within the secret realm's halo, he immediately made his decision.
"Brother from the Human Emperor Manor, my Five Elements Sect owes you a favor too!"
"We'll wait for you inside the secret realm!"
Apart from those two factions, however,
