Chapter 182: Finally, After 100,000 Years, You\'ve Arrived (2)
At this moment, Wu Yuan, Bu Yu, Li Yan, and Song Guang finally comprehended why Jin Qing had sought to kill them from the outset. Perhaps he had foreseen the existence of this enormous immortal relic.
A tense atmosphere settled over the group. In particular, suspicion lingered between Wu Yuan and Song Guang, their eyes darting warily at each other, preparing for a sudden attack.
However, as Wu Yuan took the lead and Song Guang followed close behind, both showed no signs of hostility in their demeanor, allowing the other Grandmasters to heave a sigh of relief.
No matter how strong I am, I cannot guarantee a swift victory over Song Guang. If I attack him, the Grandmasters may scatter and flee, disrupting our unity. Wu Yuan had reasoned it out.
He wasn’t confident that he could eliminate all the Grandmasters. Furthermore, they had yet to encounter any of Great Jin’s experts after leaving the waiting area. Therefore, Wu Yuan was reluctant to instigate internal conflict that would only serve to benefit the enemy. For Wu Yuan and the Cloudstride Sect, Great Jin was their number one nemesis.
...
In a mysterious space within the walls of the grand bronze temple.
Boom! Boom! Boom! A giant, standing three meters tall, unleashed thunderous punches that ruptured the air. Each step it took shook the earth.
Whoosh! A figure shrouded in black armor, nearly two meters tall, desperately evaded the relentless onslaught of the giant, not daring to confront it head-on.
The force behind each of the eldritch warrior\'s punches exceeds two million catties. Why is this trial so difficult? Blood trickled down Jin Qing’s lips, his chest bursting with frustration.
At first, he had thought he would be able to engage in combat with this towering giant and eventually kill it. But a single punch had been enough to bring him to his knees.
The giant only executed ordinary combat techniques and seemed unable to employ Power Surge. Yet its combat strength derived solely from sheer power and speed was mind-boggling. Even with the protection of his spirit battle armor, Jin Qing was cautious not to endure another direct blow.
As for close-quarters combat? He tried it once. The giant\'s arms, abdomen, back, and thighs, had immediately transformed into lethal weapons, exerting astonishing strength. The giant operated flawlessly, akin to a perfect fighting machine.
Ten breaths. I just need to endure for another ten breaths longer, and I can complete this trial. I’ve come this far, surrender is not an option. Determination gleamed in Jin Qing\'s eyes.
However, just as this thought entered his mind, the giant suddenly spun and launched a swift kick. The attack was ten times faster than the speed of sound, striking Jin Qing and sending him flying.
Boom! As he collided forcefully with the wall, a fist as hefty as a sandbag soon followed suit, but Jin Qing managed to evade it with every ounce of his strength, feeling the walls and the ground both trembling as he rolled out of the way.
Fuck it. If I don’t go all out, I’ll die! Jin Qing\'s eyes burned with a fiery resolve, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. [1]
He charged forward towards the giant, only to once again be sent hurtling through the air with a single punch, utterly overpowered.
...
As Jin Qing was beaten to a pitiful wreck within the temple, the area surrounding the grand bronze temple was completely desolate, the earth perfectly level.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Wu Yuan, Bu Yu, and Li Yan finally reached the temple, their gaze fixed upon the towering edifice before them.
Each held their breath, their anticipation mounting as they drew nearer to the temple. The sheer grandeur of the structure was overwhelming, filling them with awe and wonder. With every step, they could feel an ancient, powerful energy rushing towards them. It was a sight that made their hearts tremble, as if they were mere ants standing before a dragon. Even Wu Yuan couldn\'t help but be taken aback.
Comparing it to the black pagoda I saw years ago, this temple is truly majestic, a work of immortals and devils.
Not even the ten-kilometer-long interstellar cargo ship he had seen in the past had elicited such a reaction from him. And yet, Wu Yuan’s sixth sense told him that the black pagoda was more mysterious, and was a higher level of existence than this temple.
The group of seven individuals came to a halt a few hundred meters away from the temple, their eyes scanning the surroundings.
“Jin Qing and the others are nowhere to be found,” Tie Tuo voiced. “We’ve yet to see any signs of them the entire way here.
“Perhaps they intentionally covered their tracks. After all, for a Grandmaster, leaving no traces behind isn’t a difficult feat.” Song Guang suggested. “At this moment, I believe Jin Qing and his team are likely already inside the temple.
“This temple has quite a few doors,” Song Guang pointed to the distant temple.
Everyone began contemplating their next move.
Rising over 500 meters high and spanning a width of nearly twenty kilometers, the bronze behemoth was closer to a colossal wall than a temple. At the base of the temple were hundreds of doors, each one around 150 meters apart, stretching endlessly in every direction.
Li Yan broke the silence. “Judging by the distance, we have reached the center of the Eldritch Realm, and this should be none other than the Eldritch Chamber. With no further clues from the mysterious voice, we are left with no choice but to venture inside if we wish to claim the treasure that awaits us.”
"Now, the time has come to decide," Li Yan declared. "Shall we all enter the same door? Or shall each of us choose a separate door?"
His gaze surveyed the crowd until it settled on Wu Yuan. "Brother Shadow Blade, this time I opt to go alone."
"Alright," Wu Yuan nodded in agreement.
No one knew what secrets lay within the temple. It should be noted that the doors were not particularly large, standing only twenty meters tall. However, once inside, darkness consumed everything. None knew where each door led to.
Venturing alone was far riskier, but no one was willing to share a treasure they had obtained.
"I, too, choose to go alone," stated Song Guang.
"Let us split up!”
“Considering the number of doors, the odds of encountering an expert from Great Jin are relatively slim.” Each individual made their choice.
An opportunity had presented itself, and everyone yearned to seize it.
"Shadow Blade, it would undoubtedly be safer if I follow you. But if I were to select a different door, our sect\'s chances of acquiring valuable treasures would rise substantially," Bu Yu spoke to Wu Yuan, cautious enough to refrain from using his true name. “Besides, if I do encounter danger, I won\'t weigh you down."
"Take care," Wu Yuan said softly.
"You too."
Finally, with a tacit understanding, the seven Grandmasters went through separate doors.
Song Guang boldly stepped in first, swiftly swallowed by the enveloping darkness. Bu Yu followed suit. Eventually, only Wu Yuan remained, standing before the massive temple.
He meticulously studied every door, his gaze lingering on each one in search of any clues, but there was nothing. As each Grandmaster entered, no sound could be heard from them as if the darkness had consumed them entirely.
Let\'s go in. Wu Yuan made up his mind. With closed eyes, he reached out and selected a door at random. Stepping through it with confident strides, he suddenly found himself submerged in an abyss of darkness, devoid of any guiding light. Doubt crept into his mind, causing him to hesitate.
Then, a low hum resonated through the air, an invisible ripple passing him by. Surprise flickered in Wu Yuan\'s eyes. But before he could even contemplate fleeing, space warped, and his body disappeared from its original location.
...
Hum~ Wu Yuan’s vision was blurry as dizziness washed over him. It reminded him of the sensation he experienced when he first entered the Chu-Jiang Immortal Realm. As the surrounding scene solidified, he felt the firm ground beneath his feet.
This? His pupils contracted in astonishment as he beheld a towering temple before him. It reached an impressive height of 100 zhangs and its length and width were several hundred zhangs.
Every surface of the temple, from its walls to its floor, was crafted in gleaming bronze. Gargantuan jade platforms replaced conventional seats, appearing more suitable for giants than ordinary humans.
Suddenly, an indifferent voice, ancient and indistinct, echoed throughout the vast temple. "Finally, after 100,000 years, you have arrived."
