Lei Yuce's face darkened as he witnessed this scene. He gritted his teeth and shot forward, instantly appearing before the stone gate, placing both hands on the light curtain.

*Chi chi chi!*

One hundred and eight golden needles shot out from his body, each with a lifelike golden dragon carved at the tail, encircling the needle body. The scales and claws were clear, the head and tail distinct, as if about to soar through the clouds, truly a masterpiece of craftsmanship.

With a flash of golden light, all one hundred and eight needles pierced into the crystalline light curtain, embedding themselves nearly halfway.

"Golden Light Immortal Severing Needles!" someone exclaimed from the crowd in the distance.

Lei Yuce chanted incantations, and these golden needles emitted a dazzling golden light, vibrating rapidly.

The crystalline light curtain trembled accordingly, emitting a dazzling crystal light, and also a piercing screech, like the clash of thousands of swords.

"Break!"

A trace of heartache flashed in Lei Yuce's eyes, but the next moment he became firm, executing a hand seal and urging it fiercely, shouting out loud!

The light of the one hundred and eight golden needles shone again, and with a *swoosh*, they all plunged into the crystalline light curtain, exploding within.

A series of loud noises erupted!

Countless cracks instantly appeared on the crystalline light curtain, and then it shattered with a bang, turning into countless streams of light, revealing the dark green stone gate inside, without any obstruction.

Lei Yuce's face relaxed, and the group of cultivators watching from afar cheered again. The cultivators within the ground formation also breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

But at this moment, the lightning patterns above the giant tower suddenly brightened greatly and flashed wildly. Then, countless thick gray-black lightning bolts spewed out from within, far surpassing the previous ones in both power and quantity, sweeping towards all directions in a fan shape.

The black and white whirlwind was already at its limit, and it was easily torn apart by these gray lightning bolts.

The black and white flags fell from the scattered whirlwind, already broken into several pieces, without any spiritual energy left.

Countless gray lightning bolts broke through the black and white whirlwind, raining down and covering the area below.

Lei Yuce's expression changed drastically, and with a sway of his body, he instantly shot back tens of miles, avoiding it from afar.

The cultivators in front of the tower also retreated in shock. Han Li also mingled among them, retreating backward.

He had actually noticed the abnormality of the giant tower's restriction earlier than others, but he did not retreat immediately, waiting a moment to avoid attracting attention.

Although the cultivators in front of the tower were some distance away from the giant tower and reacted quickly, a few who stood too close and could not react in time were affected, their bodies directly exploded, and their nascent souls could not escape.

As for the hundred people within the ground formation, they were still bound in the great formation and had no time to escape, being submerged by countless gray-black lightning bolts.

Dazzling electric arcs flashed and moved, forming a gray-black sea of lightning, with terrifying lightning laws rolling within. Everything that came into contact with the gray-black lightning, whether trees or stones, was instantly annihilated into ashes.

Miserable screams came from the sea of lightning, but they were quickly extinguished and disappeared.

Han Li sighed secretly in his heart at this scene, and then became deeply wary of this Years Tower.

The outside restriction was already so dangerous, so the situation inside was naturally even more so.

But at this moment, his gaze suddenly condensed. He vaguely saw a flash of blue light in the sea of lightning.

Then, a earth-shattering explosion suddenly came from the sea of lightning. A large mass of dazzling white light erupted within, presenting a crescent shape. The light was dazzling and radiant, tearing a gap in the gray-black sea of lightning.

"*Swoosh*," "*Swoosh*," sounds rang out continuously, and more than a dozen streaks of light flew out from the sea of lightning, rushing to the safe area outside like shooting stars, revealing the figures of more than a dozen cultivators.

These people were all the best among those who had entered the formation earlier, with three Grand Unity Realm cultivators and the rest being Golden Immortal Peak and Golden Immortal Late Stage.

None of the dozen people were intact, their clothes were ragged, their bodies were covered in scars, charred black, and some were missing arms or legs, looking both miserable and embarrassed.

The gray-black sea of lightning flashed a few times and quickly dissipated. The ground was charred black, and a layer had been scraped off. The people inside had all disappeared, with only some scattered fragments of immortal artifacts and treasures left.

Seeing this scene, although everyone was mentally prepared, their faces were still ugly.

"Lei Yuce, Wen Zhong, didn't you two say that breaking the restriction was not too dangerous? What's going on now?" Among the dozen people, a middle-aged man in a white Taoist robe stepped forward, looking at Lei Yuce and the others with a livid face, questioning in a cold voice.

A white moon wheel immortal artifact floated in front of the middle-aged man, but its light was dim and its spirituality was greatly lost.

This person was Heavenly Moon Taoist, the master of the Lingyue Pavilion. His cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Grand Unity Realm, which was considered the highest among the dozen people. He had also been selected into the group of one hundred earlier.

Not only him, Lingyue Pavilion was proficient in Extreme Yin cultivation methods. In addition to Heavenly Moon Taoist, most of the people who came in this time from Lingyue Pavilion also entered the Twin Births Formation, and now they were all wiped out. How could he not be furious in his heart?

The others who had escaped by chance were also glaring at Lei Yuce and the others at this moment.

The people of the alliance team also looked at Lei Yuce and them, and nearly half of them had angry expressions.

One person from the Celestial Water Sect also entered the Twin Births Formation but did not die in it and escaped. Therefore, Su Anqian and Jin Liu did not question anything, but just stood quietly to the side.

"Everyone, calm down. This matter was also beyond Lei's expectations. Lei originally thought that after breaking the restriction on the stone gate, the Thousand Shredding Yin Lightning Formation on the tower would also dissipate, but I never thought that such a change would occur," Lei Yuce explained with a slightly dimmed expression.

Heavenly Moon Taoist snorted coldly upon hearing this, his anger not diminishing at all on his face.

"Everyone, such a tragedy has occurred, and the alliance leader and I are also extremely heartbroken. But I have also said before that when we break into immortal mansions and explore secret realms, we are taking great risks. No one knows when they will die where, and life and death can only be left to fate. Moreover, the alliance leader destroyed two personal treasures in order to break the restrictions outside the tower, and the loss is also enormous." Wen Zhong, standing next to Lei Yuce, took a step forward and said slowly.

"That's right, such a thing happened is an accidental calamity. How can it be attributed to individuals? The alliance leader is also working so hard to break the restrictions so that all of us can enter this Years Tower to explore treasures. If not, the casualties would probably be even greater. Everyone, please calm down," Jin Liu coughed lightly and said.

"For those who died unfortunately, the alliance will provide some compensation after exploring this immortal mansion. Please rest assured," Wen Zhong said again.

Since the Celestial Water Sect and the Soaring Heavens Sword Sect said so, Heavenly Moon Taoist's expression was uncertain. He snorted coldly and brushed his sleeves away.

The others were afraid of the power of the two sects and did not dare to say anything more.

Han Li stood in the crowd, ignoring the dispute. His gaze swept towards the dozen or so people who had just flown out, behind them, where a man and a woman were standing quietly. It was the Lan siblings.

Under the sudden change just now, others may not have noticed, but his spiritual sense was extremely powerful, and he clearly sensed an unusual powerful spiritual pressure in the sea of lightning. It seemed to be a water-attributed cultivation method, not at all inferior to his own.

It was this spiritual pressure that truly broke through the sea of lightning, not Heavenly Moon Taoist's moon wheel immortal artifact.

"Judging from the aura of that spiritual pressure, it is these two people. They are so secretive, their identities must be unusual. Looking at their clothing and the fact that they are cultivating water-attributed cultivation methods, and there are two of them, could they be the Lan siblings of the Golden Splendor Immortal Palace!" Han Li quickly withdrew his gaze, calculating silently in his heart, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Brother, I'm sorry. In the heat of the moment just now, I slightly intervened to break open the sea of lightning. Has it already been discovered by anyone?" Lan Yan whispered with a trace of shame in her eyes, transmitting her voice.

"The situation was critical just now. Even if you didn't take action, I would have taken action. Moreover, the Yin Lightning power in the sea of lightning was surging just now, which was enough to cover up the aura of your action. With the spiritual sense of these people present, it is impossible for them to have noticed anything." Lan Yuanzi comforted her with a voice transmission.

Lan Yan was slightly relieved when she heard this.

The Celestial Water Sect and the Soaring Heavens Sword Sect came together and discussed in a low voice for a while.

"Now that the restrictions on this Years Tower have been broken, let's not delay outside. Let's go in as soon as possible, lest others get there first. However, the restrictions outside this Years Tower are so terrifying, the tower must be even more dangerous. The alliance leader and the deputy alliance leader have just discussed and decided that cultivators with slightly lower cultivations should not go in, lest there be more casualties and some people become resentful," Jin Liu stepped forward two steps and said to the crowd.

As soon as this was said, everyone present forgot their sadness and anger.

"Senior Jin, what do you mean by 'slightly lower cultivations'?" A loose cultivator of the Golden Immortal Realm immediately asked.

"Fellow cultivators below the Golden Immortal Realm are too weak, and their probability of survival inside is really not high. Just stay outside the tower and be vigilant," Jin Liu waved his hand and said.

"How can this be! This is unfair!"

"When breaking the restrictions just now, many True Immortal Realm cultivators were called into the formation. Now that the gate of the Years Tower has finally been opened, but we are not allowed to enter. What is the reason!"

"That's right, we will never agree!"

The True Immortal cultivators under the sects were still quiet, but those from loose cultivator backgrounds immediately shouted.

"Silence!" Lei Yuce frowned and shouted in a deep voice.

His voice was not loud, but the nearby void vibrated with a buzzing sound, as if echoing in a valley, with only an intimidating power.

Those True Immortal Realm cultivators who had planned to take advantage of the momentum to complain, their expressions changed at this time, and they were all as silent as cicadas in winter.

"This decision is also for everyone's safety. How about this, the alliance will take out 30% of the harvest from the tower and distribute it to the fellow cultivators outside as compensation. At the same time, you don't have to guard outside, just leave a few people here to be vigilant, and the others can continue to explore elsewhere. After all, this secret realm is very large and time is limited. There is no need to stare at this one place," Lei Yuce continued.

Hearing this, the expressions of those True Immortal Realm loose cultivators looked better.

They secretly weighed their own strength and the risk of entering the Years Tower, and immediately felt that this was also quite beneficial, so they nodded one after another.

Those sect forces already had many people who did not want to bring True Immortal Realm disciples into the Years Tower. Hearing that there would be compensation afterwards, they were even more willing and ordered their True Immortal Realm disciples to guard outside.
