Chapter 1079 - 968: The Eerie Divine Temple
The martial artists present had all sorts of little calculations in their hearts.Some martial artists really wanted to venture inside, but after carefully weighing the pros and cons, they felt that with their strength, entering would only lead to their deaths.
Therefore, those martial artists who knew their strength was weak decided to stay outside and not enter.
The only ones who could choose whether to stay or leave were the second team, and as every member of Duan Gujin's team was cursed, they were afraid that the Residual Soul might tamper with the curse's power.
Helplessly, they had no choice but to venture into the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace together.
Clang!
Suddenly, everyone heard the sound of the previously immovable iron gate in front of them opening automatically.
Seeing the iron gate open automatically, everyone immediately thought it must be the doing of the Residual Soul.
Seeing the iron gate open automatically, several martial artists who initially wanted to venture inside started to retreat, feeling that the Residual Soul was not simple.
Such a complex Residual Soul would surely be up to something in the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace, making some timid martial artists naturally reluctant to take risks.
"Let's go in!"
Once the iron gate fully opened and the air inside cleared a bit, some martial artists entered.
Upon entering, everyone saw a very long hallway ahead, discovering that there were various dragon images on both sides of the hallway.
"Why are there so many images of dragons in different forms here?"
Some martial artists carefully examined the dragon images on the sides of the hallway but could not find anything peculiar about them.
"Are the dragons on this wall merely posing in various positions?"
Looking at the dragon images, Duan Gujin frowned deeply.
Although he didn't know what those dragon images in the hallway meant, Duan Gujin felt there must be profound significance behind them.
"The stones I saw in the valley had dragons trapped there by Earth attribute power!"
They moved forward over two hundred meters and arrived at a hall.
The hall was filled with various giant eggs.
"What kind of eggs are these?"
Many martial artists, like Duan Gujin, were intensely interested in the giant eggs placed in the hall.
Seeing the giant eggs, Duan Gujin stepped forward and used Divine Sense to inspect them.
After a while, he confirmed that the giant eggs were imprisoned by the same powerful Earth attribute power as the stones he had examined outside the valley.
One martial artist, curious upon seeing the giant eggs on the ground, directly crushed one.
After the giant egg was broken, a large sphere was revealed.
Upon seeing the sphere, everyone immediately thought that the giant egg was likely imprisoned within by other living creatures using Earth attribute power.
"What kind of place is this? Why is it so terrifying?"
This thought inexplicably flashed through the minds of many people.
Everyone circled around the hall once, eventually arriving at another hallway.
This time, they saw dozens of Earth Dragons lying on the ground, each three meters long.
"Why are there so many dragons here?"
The same question flashed through everyone's minds simultaneously.
"Let's keep going!"
Everyone prepared for battle and continued forward.
Soon, they found themselves in front of a circular hall.
It was a true circular hall, capable of accommodating over a thousand people.
In the center of the circular hall was an altar, three meters high above the ground.
With curiosity, everyone rushed inside, with their first thought being to rush up and see if they could be the first to grab the Treasure on the altar.
Some martial artists initially planned to use a Flying Technique, but quickly realized they couldn't perform it and had to rely on extreme speed to get there.
Duan Gujin frowned, thinking that such a place couldn't possibly be without traps.
Therefore, unlike the other martial artists who seemed like they had injected themselves with adrenaline and rushed at the altar, he held back.
Swish, swish, swish!
Suddenly, everyone heard a series of faint, rapid noises ahead.
Immediately after, many martial artists at the front of the group were hit by arrows.
"Ouch! That hurts!"
Many martial artists screamed in agony, and after being hit, quickly sealed some of their meridians to prevent the poison from the arrows.
However, the injured martial artists took Detoxification Pills and lay down to heal.
Fortunately, the martial artists present had at least reached the First Level of Martial Saint cultivation, so ordinary traps couldn't harm them.
The reason those martial artists got hit was because they were too close to where the trap was triggered.
Additionally, since they charged forward in a group, they couldn't hear the crisp sound of the trap being activated.
Had they been in an ambush with enemies, those who were hit by arrows now would not have been so reckless.
But earlier, their sole thought was to be the first to seize the Treasure on the altar.
Although they didn't know the origin of the Residual Soul, they believed that its Treasure was no ordinary one.
That led them to lower their guard and get injured by the trap's arrows.
Fortunately for them, the arrows weren't coated with any poison.
Originally, the arrows were poisonous, but over time, the poison had dissipated.
Therefore, the martial artists hit by the arrows suffered only minor injuries.
With just a little rest, they could fully recover.
The once feverish martial artists immediately calmed down, unable to determine if there were more traps on the altar.
So, they circled the altar several times to check for any mechanical traps nearby.
Once they confirmed there were no additional traps around the altar, they breathed a sigh of relief.
However, unable to perform the Flying Technique to ascend the three-meter-high altar, they decided to use various Flying Treasures to soar up.
Nevertheless, to their shock, they quickly discovered a powerful gravity pressure above the altar, forcing them back down when they tried to ascend with their Flying Treasures.
Seeing this, Duan Gujin's eyes flashed. He immediately took the White Bone from the storage ring and placed it on the ground.
A moment later, the White Bone emitted a dazzling light, and the Residual Soul appeared once more.
"Hahaha, I've finally returned!"
The Residual Soul laughed excitedly upon seeing the altar ahead.
The sound of the Residual Soul's mad laughter sent chills down everyone's spine.
