Chapter 15 Crisis
"Not good!" The elder of the Qi clan's expression changed drastically. "The source of this oppressive will is the location of the stone pillar. We must get there quickly; the stone pillar cannot be lost!"
Zagu nodded, and the two figures quickly darted through the passage, heading straight for the hollow stone pillar.
"Didn't they notice me... and it's actually the Qi Clan! How dare they show up at the edge of the Rift Abyss!"
Lu Xing watched them fly past at a distance of no more than a hundred miles, but they did not notice his presence at all, which confirmed in his mind that their detector level was very low.
It's not their fault; after all, they've been oppressed for too long and have no channels to buy.
"This..." The old man stared speechlessly at the cracked stone pillar. "How is this possible? How could a stone pillar break? Even immortals couldn't do that!"
"The pressure of will is too strong, I can't get through at all!" Zagu tried to fly towards the crack, but his will was not even as strong as Lu Xing's, so how could he possibly touch it?
"Take the stone pillar away first; we can't let those outsiders find out."
The old man flew toward the wall, then took out a transparent hexagonal crystal. With the infusion of his world power, the crystal burst forth with a special suction force, destroying the binding magic attached to the wall.
This scene was naturally detected by the land-based satellites.
"So the secret runes and the stone pillars have nothing to do with each other. If I had known, I would have destroyed them directly!" Lu Xing immediately regretted it. He was worried that the secret runes and the stone pillars were related in some way. If they were destroyed and lost their function, he couldn't guarantee that the suppression of his will could be restored.
He cannot give up on tempering his will; there will be plenty of opportunities to obtain treasures again, but such a good place is not common.
Just as the binding runes were about to be destroyed.
"Walk!"
Lu Xing's figure flashed quickly through the passage; the mere thousand kilometers would only take a moment to reach.
Zagu and the other two were clearly taken aback by Lu Xing's sudden appearance. It was this moment of surprise that led Lu Xing to unleash the Flaming Heaven Strike, striking at Zagu, the strongest among them.
"Boom!"
Caught off guard, Zagu's body flew toward the stone pillar at an extremely fast speed.
"Didn't you want the stone pillar?"
"I'll help you!"
Lu Xing's voice echoed in the hollow.
Before Zagu could finish uttering the word "die," an oppressive force surpassing even that of a world lord instantly struck him, his will swaying like a sapling in a storm.
The sapling was uprooted with just a touch, and the torn trunk was quickly destroyed in the storm.
"Zagu!" the elder of the Qi clan roared. He had thought that two high-level Realm Lords would be enough to deal with the unexpected, but he did not expect that one of them would perish in a single exchange, and that it was Zagu who had fallen, the future hope of the Qi clan.
"I truly have a connection with your Qi clan." Seeing that Zhagudi's life force had disappeared, Lu Xing turned to face the Qi clan elder. "Tell me about the stone pillar, and I can let you leave."
"Hahahaha!" The old man became somewhat deranged. The fall of Zagu, the hope of breaking through to immortality, was equivalent to shattering the last hope of the Qi clan.
"You must be a genius from the Shadow Tower, right? I'll trade my life for your genius..."
"It's worth it!"
The Qi clan elder's world power surged wildly, his aura rapidly soaring, and he mobilized the last remaining portion of his origin at this moment.
"This is... a self-destruction!"
Upon seeing this, Lu Xing instantly took out the E9-class peak spaceship, entered it, and then his armor covered his entire body.
"Walk!"
The spaceship's propulsion system activated instantly, and it fled into the distance. He was not afraid of self-destruction; with his immortal armor, self-destruction posed no threat to him.
The real danger comes from the stone pillar; he has no confidence in attacking it through willpower.
"Boom!"
A massive amount of energy swept through the entire cavity.
"Click...click..."
In an instant, the cracks on the stone pillar widened countless times, the pressure of will began to rise sharply, and the surrounding space became distorted.
"Hurry up!"
"Faster!"
Although the energy from the self-destruction struck the surface of the spaceship, it only caused the ship to vibrate slightly, and the not-so-small hull continued to fly outwards.
"what!"
Lu Xing's screams echoed through the spaceship. The oppressive will targeted any form of life. At this moment, his consciousness was as if it were being placed in a giant millstone and began to be ground and crushed bit by bit.
"Full speed ahead! Laser cannons activated!"
The command was issued, but fortunately, the auxiliary intelligence was just a program, including the spaceship. Although it had some impact, it was not strong enough to completely disable it.
The cannons at the bow of the ship began to charge, emitting a faint blue light.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Four cannons converged on the rocks in front of the spaceship, blasting away the walls that needed to be smashed first, improving the spaceship's performance as much as possible.
"Damn it!"
Lu Xing's sea of consciousness was torn open, and his vision went blank. He collapsed inside the spaceship.
But it was precisely at this moment, as the speed of his departure exceeded the speed at which the pressure of his will increased, that his consciousness was preserved. As for when he would awaken, that would depend on fate.
It was only thanks to the presence of a top-tier E9-class spaceship on the continent, coupled with their swift reaction, that one life was saved, while the others exploring the surrounding area were spared.
Without exception, they all perished!
The key figures who fell were all realm lords, and the relationships between them were extremely complex, undoubtedly causing a great sensation in the outside world.
Virtual universe, Shadow Tower headquarters conference room...
A stone table and four stone chairs symbolize the four immortal-level powerhouses of the Shadow Tower.
"The secret realm has erupted in chaos, and it's suspected that a major treasure has been unearthed. Let's all discuss how to distribute it this time!" Mura spoke first, since he had been in charge of the secret realm recently.
"Hehe! This time, the distribution of profits has nothing to do with you!" A soft, charming voice rang out from the right. It was Yueying, the only soul master among the four.
"That's right!" A large hand slammed onto the stone table, followed by a rough voice. It was Abi Li, an immortal of the Lion-Man race. "We can agree on the last site. You won't be involved in the distribution next time."
"This treasure is extraordinary. The four world lords nearby perished instantly without even a word being sent out. I did say I would give it to you next time, but this treasure is exceptional. Only by keeping it in my hands can I maximize my benefits," Mura replied.
"I am only one step away from being ennobled. If I could be ennobled, what a boost it would be for my Shadow Tower."
At this point, Mura didn't care about saving face, but what he said was true. After digesting the treasure from last time, he was not far from being granted the title of Marquis.
"That sounds nice, but you said the same thing last time. Why haven't you broken through?" Abi Li retorted directly, showing no regard for Mura's feelings.
"alright!"
The man seated at the head of the table spoke, "We haven't even figured out what the treasure is yet. Our top priority right now is to get our hands on it. As for how to distribute it, we can talk about that later!"
"If that thing can really get Mura a marquisate, then let's prioritize using it. No objections, right?"
"no."
"no."
"no."
