Lin Mu observed the key and the clear spatial fluctuations that were being created.
"What's happening?" Crown Princess Shang asked.
"Looks like this is the true end of the trial." Lin Mu replied, his gaze extending past the reality that was presented to them and into the void. "Get ready, this is not the same as the previous one." He stated.
Unlike the last time, Lin Mu didn't see a teleportation channel. 'Either it hasn't formed yet, or the teleportation is not in the books…' Lin Mu thought to himself.
The first option would still be fine, but if it was the second things would get complex. ~SHUA~
A few seconds later, several glowing lines spread out from where the key was embedded. The lines expanded and took the structure of a circular gate. There were fine patterns on it but these weren't runes. Instead these patterns seem to be showing a mural instead!
"What's this?" Ziran narrowed his eyes and observed the murals closely.
Others did the same and tried to make sense of it.
On the mural they could see tens of figures that had horns and fangs. "Demons?" Qiao De muttered. "No not just demons…" his gaze moved onto a large figure.
It was of a strange creature that had a feminine torso, but the lower half of an insect!
The half woman half insect creature towered over the demons and seemed to be attacking them. ~SHUA~
The group didn't get to observe it for long though, as a split appeared in the middle of the gate before it started to open!

If the channel hadn't been formed, it would have meant that they were being directly thrown into the void for some reason. Once the teleportation channel was fully connected, a suction force could be felt coming from the gate.
~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~
The ten were pulled into the gate in the next moment, causing their bodies to turn weightless. They entered the teleportation channel and passed through it at great speed while Lin Mu observed it as much as he could.
"What in the…" And when he did, he found something astonishing. "Is that… Another plane?!" in front of Lin Mu was an entire Spatial plane!
It was bigger than anything Lin Mu had seen before and the spatial disturbances he could see around it showed him that it was definitely a separate plane. 'There are two planes in the Celestial's Inheritance ground?' Lin Mu was confused.
At first he thought that he might have mistaken one of the other spatial planes. After all, there were multiple of them in the islands from where they had entered. But the intensity of Spatial fluctuations was greatly different for them to be the same.
Lin Mu could at least tell whether the Spatial Fluctuations were coming from a world, a Spatial Plane or just a small Spatial pocket. And what he was feeling from this Spatial Plane was several times greater than all others he had seen so far. In fact, it was almost as great as a world!
"Just how big is this spatial plane?" Lin Mu was at a loss for words.
He also realized that it was taking them quite some time to pass through the teleportation channel, as over thirty seconds had already passed. This was a long time for an inheritance ground, only affirming Lin Mu's belief that they were not going anywhere close.
His eyes were locked onto the large Spatial Plane as he tried to get a sense of it, trying to make out any unique markers for it. He couldn't see inside the Spatial Plane as it was still protected by its barrier and the Spatial Fabric that kept it contained. It was similar to seeing a bubble underwater, but that bubble had a membrane that was made out of thick leather. It contrasted heavily against the rest of the void, thus Lin Mu could tell that this Spatial Plane had existed for a long time.
'It is certainly stable… But for such a large Spatial Plane to exist alongside the Rust Sky World… Is this the work of the Celestial too?' Lin Mu wondered.

And as they were passing by, Lin Mu felt a change in the Spatial Fluctuations. They suddenly dampened, as if something was blocking them. 'Are we close to the end?' Lin Mu turned to look at the Teleportation Channel, but didn't see an exit gate. About a minute had passed by now, and even the others were feeling that this teleportation was not normal. But unlike Lin Mu they could not see what was happening outside the teleportation channel. In fact, they couldn't even tell the others that were around them.
~WOONG~
At a certain moment though, a feeling of absolute dread filled them. Even though they were inside a teleportation channel, all of them felt it clearly. "AHH! What is…" Lady Kang and the others groaned in pain. It was a strange pain that directly appeared in their bodies without any external source.
"My Qi… it's getting slowed?" Crown Prince Feng Shun was shocked.
Among them though, there were two that were extremely alarmed and had a hunch of what was happening.
"The feeling of death!" Monk Hushu said out loud. "It's the aura of death!" Ziran's elven bloodline screamed at him.
It told him to get as far as possible, but that was out of the question since they were stuck inside a teleportation channel.
Lady Kang tried to use one of her abilities, but couldn't muster her Immortal Qi to work. It was being suppressed by the aura of death, making it hard to move.
Lin Mu was getting anxious too and didn't know why they were suddenly feeling the aura of death.
The aura of death continued to grow stronger, until someone else inside Lin Mu's ring sensed it too.
"WHERE ARE YOU?!?" Xukong's voice boomed.
