Ripples of golden light still trembled over Ye Han's body, strings of Purple-Gold Runes whirled across his muscles, and a storm of aura churned around him.
Unleashing his full strength like this placed a considerable burden on his physical body. Had he not cultivated the Eightfold Bone Refining Art to the fifth layer, turning his bones into something akin to metal, the recoil alone would have been enough to shatter them.
The ripples of golden light over Ye Han's body subsided as he looked toward the passage beyond the open stone gate...
The passage looked just like the one through which they had entered the Great Hall in this mysterious space: bare rock walls, with nothing inside.
An astonishing abundance of heaven and earth spiritual energy and power of the stars surged out from ahead.
Only a stone gate separated the two spaces, with no restriction between them. Why was the heaven and earth spiritual energy here so abundant?
Moreover, he had already absorbed so much heaven and earth spiritual energy in this mysterious space. Why had the spiritual energy beyond this stone gate remained unaffected?

Yet the puppets ahead had only traveled a few hundred zhang!
Suddenly!
Boom! Boom! Two muffled explosions rang out. All Ye Han saw was a burst of gray light blazing
