Chapter 368 Violent Breaking
Li Ye stood alone, proudly in front of the towering and gloomy gate of Tartarus.

All around him, the darkness of the eternal night was like thick ink, surging wildly and wrapping him tightly. Only the purple-gold spiritual light emanating from his body, like an unyielding scorching sun, shone tenaciously in this dead land.

The gate of Tartarus was made of huge black rocks, and the surface was covered with twisted and hideous runes, exuding an ancient and evil aura. Each rune seemed to be a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness, staring coldly at the uninvited guest.

On both sides of the gate, there stood giant stone statues like ancient demons, with bared fangs and claws, as if they would come alive at any time and tear intruders into pieces.

Li Ye held his head high, his posture as straight as a pine tree, his black hair flying freely in the wind. He was wearing a black suit, the corners of his clothes rustled in the wind, and the golden silk thread embroidered on it shone with a mysterious luster under the reflection of the spiritual power.

At his waist, the hilt of the Longquan sword trembled slightly, as if it was impatiently eager for a fierce battle.

Li Ye took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling violently. Then, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes like torches, and shot directly at the door, and he let out a deafening shout:

"Li Ye from the Hall of Heroes, come knock on the door!"

The sound was like rolling thunder, exploding in the darkness. With an unstoppable momentum, it broke through the darkness and rolled into Tartarus.

Wherever the voice reached, the darkness seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, rippling everywhere. Even the runes on the gate flickered slightly at the shout, as if they were impacted by some powerful force.

As Li Ye shouted, the air around the gate of Tartarus suddenly became oppressive, and an invisible pressure surged towards him like a tide.

But Li Ye did not retreat. He planted his feet firmly on the ground, spiritual energy surged around him, and the purple-gold light became more and more dazzling, blocking out the oppressive force.

His eyes were firm and fervent. With a desire for unknown challenges and absolute confidence in his own strength, he quietly waited for the response from behind the door.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the thick darkness like ink spread wantonly in this land of eternal night, like a layer of cold curtain, tightly isolating Li Ye from Tartarus Castle.

Li Ye's shouts echoed back and forth between the thick walls of the castle and finally dissipated in endless silence, but never elicited even the slightest response.

Li Ye stood quietly in the same place, the purple-gold spiritual light around him became more dazzling against the darkness, like an eternal lighthouse, shining brightly. His face was as cold as frost, and his eyes were like cold stars in the cold night, revealing bone-chilling coldness and determination.

At this moment, the tightly closed door was no longer a simple obstacle in his eyes, but a barrier that he had to break through to move towards the unknown and prove his own strength.

"In that case, I have no choice but to break the door violently!" Li Ye finally broke the silence, his voice low but firm, like a verdict coming from the Netherworld.

Before he finished speaking, his aura suddenly rose, and the purple-gold spiritual energy light was like a surging tide, surging and surging wildly in the surroundings with him as the center.

The originally calm air was instantly disturbed, making a sharp whistling sound, as if playing a prelude to the coming storm.

Li Ye slowly raised his right hand, palm facing up, and spiritual power gathered and swirled in his palm like a nimble dragon.

In the blink of an eye, a dazzling purple-gold spiritual power ball condensed into shape in his palm. Arcs of electricity flashed on the surface of the sphere, making crackling sounds. Each arc contained enough power to destroy everything.

The spiritual power ball continued to expand, and its light became more and more dazzling, dispersing the surrounding darkness further away, and even the gloomy walls of Tartarus Castle were illuminated.

Then, Li Ye swung his arm violently, and the ball of spiritual power in his palm was like a cannonball fired from the barrel, carrying an overwhelming force, and whizzed towards the gate of Tartarus.

During the flight, wherever the spiritual power ball passed, the air was instantly torn apart, leaving a twisted black track, as if the space could not withstand the impact of this powerful force. The purple-gold spiritual power ball, with the momentum of destroying the world, slammed heavily into the gate of Tartarus.

Just as it was about to touch the ancient and heavy door panel, there was a loud "bang", like the roar when the world was first created. The spirit ball seemed to hit an invisible steel wall, and suddenly burst into an extremely blinding light.

In the strong light, a layer of huge spiritual power barrier appeared. This barrier was translucent, with a faint blue luster, like an inverted giant bowl, tightly protecting Tartarus Castle.

Above the spiritual power barrier, mysterious runes flickered and flowed. They intertwined and collided with each other, emitting powerful and stable energy fluctuations, as if declaring to the outside world their own indestructibility.

The purple-gold spiritual power ball that was blocked by the barrier turned into countless spiritual power streams at the moment of impact, splashing in all directions like fireworks.

Each stream of spiritual energy contained Li Ye's surging power. Wherever it went, the air was burned and distorted, and bottomless, criss-crossing gullies instantly appeared on the ground.

A pungent burnt smell emanated from those gullies, as if the land was also trembling under the impact of this powerful force.

Seeing this, Li Ye frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but more of it was the burning excitement and fighting spirit.

He had not expected that Tartarus would be protected by such a powerful spiritual barrier, which undoubtedly added a huge obstacle to his progress. However, as a strong man, challenges and obstacles would only inspire him to fight harder.

"Interesting." Li Ye murmured in a low voice, with a confident arc on the corner of his mouth.

The purple-gold light around him became more and more dazzling, and his whole body seemed like a ignited sun, continuously releasing powerful energy.

The power of the martial god's body and numerous spirits in his body gathered together like a surging wave under his mobilization, providing solid support for his next actions.

Li Ye shouted loudly, "Thunder in the Eight Desolations!", and the Longquan sword in his hand swung out a sharp sword flower, leaving a trail of afterimages.

In an instant, the purple-gold lightning on the sword body roared and surged like an angry dragon. The lightning rushed along the blade and gathered, emitting a dazzling light, as if to tear apart the endless darkness completely.

As he slashed out with his sword, a powerful force spread rapidly with the Longquan Sword as the center. There were bursts of explosions in the air, as if countless thunders were exploding in his ears.

Wherever the purple-gold lightning reached, the space was like a broken mirror, with fine cracks appearing. The surrounding darkness was instantly dispelled by the lightning, revealing an area of ​​dazzling light.

The lightning, with an indestructible momentum, roared towards the spiritual power barrier.

The moment it collided with the barrier, there was a deafening sound, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.

The originally stable dark blue spiritual power barrier began to vibrate violently, ripples appeared on the surface, and the rune light flickered due to this powerful impact, as if it was in some kind of predicament.

Li Ye did not stop, his eyes burned with a fiery fighting spirit, and he swung the Longquan sword in his hand again. The second and third purple-gold lightning shot out like arrows, continuously hitting the spiritual power barrier.

With every impact, the barrier vibrated more violently and the cracks became more obvious.

The surrounding air was stirred into chaos by the powerful energy, forming small energy vortices that drew the sand, stones and dead branches on the ground into them and crushed them wantonly.
