They spoke eloquently, but both Night Chen King’s and Ice Blade’s sides remained secretly vigilant. At present, cooperation between the two sides was necessary to enter the core area, thus maintaining peace on the surface.
Yet once inside the core area…
Given their status as rival alien races competing for the treasure, it would be strange if they didn’t end up in a bloody conflict!
“Hmph.” Zi Zhong King’s gaze sweeping over Luo Feng and others was as sharp as a blade.
Luo Feng also cast a cold glance toward him.
The hostility… neither side attempted to hide it. Everyone was smart enough; there was no need to conceal their animosity.
“Corpses.”
“So many corpses.” As they walked along the circular corridor, the entire corridor was approximately one kilometer wide and three kilometers high, winding repeatedly around the outer periphery of the entire altar tower… Although the tower itself was only several ten thousand kilometers high, the length of this circular corridor stretched hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
The circular corridor occasionally connected to various halls.
In each hall, one could see corpses and skeletal remains.
“All are immortal corpses. The bones and remains are likely from World Lords. As for Domain Lords, Cosmic-level… and weaker beings, they have long since rotted away into dust.” Luo Feng looked at a few corpses inside a chamber that was over a thousand kilometers wide beside the corridor, sighing inwardly. These were all victims of the four peak clans.
The numerous Cosmic Sovereigns of the four peak clans might not have discovered the altar tower.
However, the tower could only hide but not resist soul attacks!
Under the sweeping soul attacks!
Complete annihilation!
Even King-level immortals died instantly, let alone other immortals and even weaker natives of the Yanji continent.
“Yang.” Hu Ci King transmitted mentally.
Luo Feng glanced at Hu Ci King.
“Have you noticed that all the immortal corpses we’ve seen so far have no spatial rings, world rings, or weapons?” Hu Ci King transmitted mentally.
“Haha…” Luo Feng naturally understood the reason.
“They must have been looted clean by Night Chen and Ice Blade.” Hu Ci King said. “They entered earlier. Except for failing to access the core area… they’ve swept through the residential areas thoroughly. The legacies of the six King-level warriors and many other immortals… I wonder how much Night Chen has actually collected. It’s making me really curious.”
“Night Chen King, how much have you gained?” Hu Ci King was straightforward, directly transmitting the question.
“I only managed to acquire three King-level corpses. The Yanji clan is far less prosperous than humans and other peak clans. Those Kings were quite poor, so my gains were nothing special.” Night Chen King replied directly.
“Feigning humility while gaining advantage.” Hu Ci King transmitted mentally.
…
While exchanging mental transmissions, the two groups soon arrived at the entrance to the altar tower’s core area.
“This entrance…” Luo Feng looked at the entrance before him. It was a massive hexagram, with its six points serving as passageways—six channels each about ten meters in diameter. Inside the channels were hazy streams of light, layer upon layer like films, faintly emitting powerful energy that made one’s heart race.
“According to the information we obtained, six warriors must each enter through one of the six channels. They must overcome successive obstacles, then insert their tokens into the corresponding recesses. Only when all six tokens are embedded can the passage to the core area be opened, where the treasure lies.” Night Chen King explained.
“Correct.” Ice Blade also nodded. “Each channel has successive obstacles. A Marquis-level immortal could generally rush through. It should be a measure originally set up by the Yanji continent’s natives to hinder their own younger generations, preventing junior members from entering the core area.”
“Successive obstacles?”
Zi Zhong King from the Qixiang clan cast a cold glance at Ice Blade beside him, snorting, “Ice Blade, are you trying to trick me? The energy faintly emanating from the channels is no weak force. If it contains special attacks that could kill us, what then?”
“Then don’t go in.” Hu Ci King sneered.
“Coward.” Luo Feng also deliberately said.
“Ice Blade, your hired help is this cowardly?” Night Chen King mockingly called out.
The humans sneered.
This caused Cang Jin King, Ice Blade, and Zi Zhong King to slightly furrow their brows. Zi Zhong King glanced at the human faction and merely snorted, not speaking further. However, Zi Zhong King, Ice Blade, Cang Jin King, and others exchanged glances, silently transmitting messages… apparently arguing for a while.
Luo Feng, Hu Ci King, and Night Chen King’s side also communicated secretly.
“I’ve tested it multiple times. Rest assured, I’ll lead the way!” Night Chen King was full of confidence.
“I have the Shi Wu wings and armor… this energy would find it hard to kill me. Besides, this is only Earthman’s main body. Even if something unexpected happens, it’s within control.” Luo Feng was equally confident.
“Night Chen King, I trust you.” Hu Ci King also trusted Night Chen King.
In just a moment—
Both groups had communicated internally. With the treasure right before them, how could they retreat?
“Go in.”
“Go in.” Both groups said the same.
Night Chen King, Hu Ci King, and Luo Feng each took a channel, as did Ice Blade, Cang Jin King, and Zi Zhong King.
Six channels… six powerful warriors…
“This film-like water curtain?” Luo Feng spread his wings, enveloping himself, and charged forward.
“Pop!”
He passed through the water curtain, which offered resistance but couldn’t stop his strength.
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
He rushed through layer after layer of water curtains. Though each layer was stronger than the last, Luo Feng’s Earthman main body possessed over ten thousand times the power of a World Lord, easily reaching the end of the channel. At the channel’s end, on one side of the wall, was a triangular recess perfectly matching the token Luo Feng had previously obtained.
Luo Feng’s palm revealed the token, gently inserting it.
“Ding!” The token merged in, and the law inscriptions within the channel began to gradually illuminate, the space emitting a vibrating sound.
“Ding!” Similar vibrations echoed from other channels.
In a moment, all six channels began vibrating simultaneously.
The inscriptions in all six channels grew increasingly bright… this sight made the six powerful warriors tense. Such treasure-seeking was inherently risky; without taking risks, who would dare to venture in? Moreover, everyone had determined the danger was low before directly entering. Even so, no one had complete confidence.
…
Inside the core control room of the altar tower.
A three-dimensional virtual projection of the altar tower was floating. Through this projection, one could see various areas of the tower. When Luo Feng and the other five alien warriors had just entered the tower…
“Alien invasion.”
“Alien invasion.”
Seated in the control room was a six-armed mechanical puppet entirely constructed of alloy. Modeled after the native form of the Yanji continent and embedded with artificial intelligence, this puppet had monitored the entire altar tower for countless years. Over the long passage of time, it had evolved into an intelligent lifeform.
For countless years, it had finally detected alien life invading.
“Whoosh!” It immediately stood up, stepping directly into a nearby water curtain.
This water curtain was a divine realm spatial channel.
Like the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, which had built a fixed spatial channel to its divine realm in the capital star, fixed spatial channels are related to distance. The farther apart two spatial points are, the more astonishing the cost of building and maintaining the channel. Conversely, the closer they are, the lower the cost.
If even an immortal of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire could maintain such a channel, building one in the core control room of the altar tower was a simple matter.
…
The intelligent robot appeared atop a vast mountain peak, in front of a majestic temple. Looking down from this mountain peak, one could see densely packed residential areas far below, where countless Yanji natives lived on this vast divine realm continent.
“Whoosh!” A tall, six-armed figure clad in a golden robe appeared out of nowhere—it was a Yanji clansman.
“Master.” The intelligent robot respectfully said.
“You left the altar tower? Why come here?” The golden-robed figure asked in a deep tone.
“Master, intruders have been detected in the altar tower.” The intelligent robot replied.
“Intruders?”
The golden-robed figure’s eyes immediately lit up, like two laser beams causing the space to crackle. Then he burst into laughter, “The altar tower… our clan’s ancestral altar tower! How long has it been… how long… our lineage has been hiding, secretly surviving on mineral planets. Once discovered… we immediately fled, barely surviving!!”
“Haha…”
“Finally, there are intruders! Finally, there are intruders!” The golden-robed figure laughed heartily.
“Summon all the King-level immortals. Third Brother, bring them all.” The golden-robed figure’s voice instantly echoed across many regions of the divine realm.
In just one breath’s time.
Eleven powerful figures instantly appeared beside the golden-robed figure. These warriors… all had six arms, their skin like jade, bald heads—clearly all natives of the Yanji continent. Moreover, the aura they emitted was incredibly powerful… already reaching the King-level immortal tier.
“Divine Sovereign.”
“Divine Sovereign.” The eleven King-level immortals looked at the golden-robed figure in confusion.
“Why the urgent summons?”
“The altar tower we once boarded has finally, finally received alien invaders.” The golden-robed figure said.
“Ah.”
The eleven King-level immortals trembled with excitement, with more than half weeping tears of joy.
“How many years has it been, how many years! Back then, our clan faced annihilation… and the Sovereigns were the primary targets of the four peak clans. We split into ten thousand groups, fleeing separately, each carrying our clan’s heritage and treasures, hoping to rise again. However, the four peak clans struck too quickly. Of our ten thousand groups, few probably escaped. Our group’s six leaders were still arranging the clan members into the altar tower when the attack came!” One of the King-level warriors, tears streaming down his face, trembled all over. “Some of us immortals were placed in the core area. Fortunately, Third Brother was wise enough to leave tokens inside the altar tower in case of emergencies. We few directly teleported to Third Brother’s divine realm.”
“Who knew… when we returned to the altar tower again…”
“We found it already dead.”
“The six leaders, arranging the clan members, all died outside the tower. Without the six tokens… we couldn’t open the treasures inside the altar tower. Without our clan’s heritage and treasures, although our divine realm had countless clan members, we struggled to cultivate strong warriors.”
“Without tokens!”
“The core area passage was sealed. Even if we teleported into the core area, we couldn’t leave it.”
“We dared not return to Yanji continent.”
“Dared not return at all.”
“We couldn’t take the risk… once discovered, the four peak clans would exterminate us completely. Our lineage would perish directly.”
“It’s been too long, too long.”
The aged King warrior’s face was wrinkled, tears streaming, yet his eyes burned with madness, “Finally, finally, finally, alien invaders have come. They will bring the tokens… we will finally obtain the tokens, finally get our clan’s treasure.”
“Finally, the opportunity has come.” The golden-robed figure said in a low voice.
Other King-level warriors’ eyes also burned with madness.
