Five dark red portals, like five pathways, connected different worlds.
"These are the doorways to the King Statues!" Lin Xuan was shocked; he had originally thought there was just one statue, but it turned out there were five.
He approached for a closer investigation.
However, when he neared those portals, he discovered an inexplicable force preventing his progress.
"What is this?" Lin Xuan frowned.
"Young man, these are the Soul Martial Gates," the Dark Red Divine Dragon conveyed telepathically.
"Soul Martial Gates?" Lin Xuan was astounded.
"Yes, the Soul Martial Gates. If you wish to enter the Stone Gate, you must withstand the assault of the Martial Souls from the statues on both sides. Only those who can withstand it can enter."
"If one cannot withstand it, they cannot enter at all."
"So that's how it is," Lin Xuan realized. Unsurprisingly, even entering the gate set by a King Statue involved such trouble.
However, he was not at all afraid of the trial by Martial Souls.
