The surrounding land felt menacingly alive, far more frightening than expected. Unlocking this ancient tomb was clearly no simple feat.Tyron had a surprised expression. "Who knows if we can even open this tomb at this rate."Adrian replied calmly, "Whether it’s really a tomb or something else entirely is still up for debate. The divine lightning seems to injure even Divines. One misstep and they'll be smashed to pieces. Although the passage does reveal some treasures, they're not particularly rare or valuable. It feels like these treasures are just bait, tempting people to advance."Tyron’s eyes widened as he considered Adrian’s words. Indeed, the items drawing everyone’s attention were mere trinkets by Adrian’s standards. The vast passage radiated an unnatural allure, yet the scene itself was disturbingly eerie. It was hard to fathom the horrifying presence that could guard such a place.Boom!Violent tremors erupted again. Terrifying forces crashed down, leaving the crowd shock
The area before them seemed anything but ordinary, and everyone hoped the hidden expert would finally lend a hand. Only then would they stand a chance of breaking the barrier. Though the group’s combined efforts were powerful, the true deciding force lay with the concealed powerhouse."Very well."Suddenly, a voice echoed from the void, and the crowd’s morale surged."Hear that? With a senior willing to act, let’s give it everything to shatter this barrier! With luck, the lightning from above will vanish and we can seize the treasure. We can maybe even secure a way out of here," a leader rallied the group.After all, everyone was here to gain strength, to claim the treasures within. Channeling their energies into one, they released intense power, their strikes reverberating across the skies with such force that it seemed as if they were on the brink of splitting heaven and earth.Whoosh!Fierce winds roared, the combined strikes of the assembled experts shaking the surrounding sp
From Adrian’s perspective, the power emanating from inside the barrier seemed increasingly peculiar. He suspected that even if he ventured inside, he might struggle to control it.This realization filled him with hesitation, and he deliberated over whether or not to proceed. Charging forward recklessly could yield unpredictable consequences.Boom!Amidst the flickering, violent energies, Adrian’s expression remained icy and tinged with a murderous glint. In front of him, a Divine led the charge, his aura erupting with intense raging force.The Divine’s leadership proved crucial, and those around him quickly followed his cue and cast their attacks toward the barrier. Even the hidden expert in the shadows contributed, launching a powerful, earth-hued energy that blanketed the sky. This force alone matched the strength of hundreds, demonstrating the advantage of absolute power—strong enough to replace the effort of many.Boom!The barrier trembled, and the crowd watched hopefully.
Seeing this scene, Tyron looked astonished. "It seems like the barrier has been broken."Adrian sighed and replied, "Look carefully at the barrier. It’s only been torn open to form a large gap. Although everyone can enter, the divine lightning still looms in the air. Breaking this barrier completely isn’t as simple as it looks. It requires a specific formation-breaking technique."Adrian examined the ancient tomb's barrier in the distance, noting its structure and understanding the intricacies involved. He had a plan, but he wasn’t ready to make his move just yet.Observing the failed attempt, he wanted to let the others realize why their approach had fallen short. While the others celebrated, believing the large opening meant success, the leading expert wore a grim expression. Unlike the others, he sensed that the barrier hadn’t truly been broken. They’d only torn open a temporary gap. If they continued forward, they’d likely meet the same fate as the unfortunate man who’d been str
In the opinion of those who had left, there was no point in staying behind just to court death. Their current strength had reached its limit, and any further attempts to advance would be futile. They fully understood their situation and had no intention of wasting time here. Lingering any longer would only lead to death, and as more people left, the strong one hidden in the shadows grew displeased.Seeing the crowd thinning, one advanced Divine in the sky narrowed his eyes and said with an edge in his tone, "Everyone, if we keep going like this, we won’t accomplish anything. We may as well head home now. Here’s what I propose. Let’s make one final attempt to break through the barrier by directing our combined power through the gap. If we still fail, then this tomb was simply not meant for us."The crowd’s eyes flickered with determination. They knew this was their last hope, and despite the risk, they weren’t ready to surrender just yet. Some voiced their agreement, saying, "Alright,
Adrian knew it was crucial to proceed cautiously. "Wait a little longer. Now isn’t the best time to make a move,” he said.With a cold gaze, Adrian felt that rushing in now would be premature. He needed to wait patiently because charging in recklessly could lead to unforeseen consequences. A well-timed, decisive strike would be far more effective.Tyron nodded in agreement. "Alright, we’ll follow your lead." He understood that Adrian had a plan, and that acting impulsively might ruin everything.A terrifying power surged out, and Adrian watched with a steely gaze. It was unclear how long this standoff would last, but he sensed a resolution might be close.“Let’s see what happens soon,” he murmured as the ominous energy relentlessly battered the barrier before them.Boom!A powerful surge struck the barrier, causing everyone to tense up, watching in horror as the once-sturdy barrier trembled under the relentless onslaught. The rip expanded, and, to everyone's shock, the barrier fr
Yet, as soon as the man spoke, there was complete silence from the shadows. It was as though his plea was nothing more than a joke. No response came, and the lead expert’s face fell. He understood what was happening. The powerful figure lurking in the shadows had no intention of helping.The others below grew visibly anxious, fully aware of the devastating power of the divine lightning. Anger rose among them as one person shouted, “Cowards! They want us when we’re useful, but now that we’re facing this, they just leave us to fend for ourselves. Disgusting!”Everyone was deeply resentful. They had invested considerable effort in breaking the barrier, only to be abandoned now. But the reality of the situation left them no choice but to brace themselves for what was coming.Boom!The lightning descended in torrents, transforming into terrifying bolts that resounded through the sky, accompanied by furious winds lashing down from above. Everyone’s expression changed drastically, realizi
”Ahhh!”Screams echoed around as people struggled, some able to withstand the strikes of lightning, while others could not. The bolts struck in random directions, and while those with significant strength managed to hold their ground, the weaker ones were quickly overwhelmed. Under the terrifying power of the divine lightning, everything seemed minuscule and insignificant.“Ahhh…”“No!”“Help me!”The air filled with cries of agony, and in the distance, a glint of coldness appeared in Adrian’s eyes as he watched. “This is the perfect opportunity. Tyron, you and the others stay here and wait for me. I’m going in to test the strength of this lightning.”With that, Adrian surged forward at lightning speed, his expression filled with excitement. To him, this lightning was the ideal tool for refining his body, and he was eager to rush into its path to strengthen himself.Tyron and the Violet Rain Bird looked on in surprise, but they knew Adrian never followed a conventional path.
