The tomb in this stone chamber is a palace.
It stands one hundred meters high and has three tiers.
In addition to a colossal bronze gate on the first level, the second and third levels have no further entrances.
Wang Jilong wanted to jump up, trying to reach the third floor directly from the air!
However, within this stone chamber, an invisible energy was suppressing the group, and the higher they jumped, the greater the pressure became.
When Wang Jilong jumped to twenty meters, the pressure from all around almost crushed every bone in his body.
Several people abandoned the idea of leaping to the top of the palace.
The only way to go is through the giant bronze gate!
When the four people finally pushed open the massive door with great effort, they were immediately stunned by the sight inside the hall!
The palace is supported by golden pillars coiled with dragons and its beams are made of star-spirit stones!
The surroundings were even more adorned with golden decorations and silver walls, more luxurious and exquisite than ancient palaces!
In the center of the palace stood five stone pillars arranged in a plum blossom shape. Each pillar bore a handprint.
Apart from these, the palace was completely empty!
All four were stunned.
Lao Wu stared at the five stone pillars, his eyes wide with shock. Trembling, he lunged toward the pillars and shouted, “Empty! It’s actually empty!”
He kept searching frantically around the stone pillar, his eyes growing redder and redder!
Wang Jilong stood frozen in place, his face expressionless, muttering不甘地, “Is it really over just because we’ve arrived here? For nothing? Why did I almost lose my life for absolutely nothing?”
He saw the stone pillar and realized that without the fifth person, they could not proceed any further.
There’s no way out; did they really want to be trapped here forever?!
Lao Wu was still shouting, “Impossible! There must still be treasure!”
He searched frantically like a madman, constantly shouting, “Why is it not the same as what I know? There should be something here, here, and here as well!”
What Lao Wu knows is about the places in the palace where items were hidden. But now, all those places he knows are empty.
He paid a huge price, almost spending all his savings, to obtain the information, and he nearly went bankrupt.
But, the reward that awaited him was a palace completely devoid of anything!
Lu Yu pointed at the giant bronze stone with a bitter smile and said, “Someone has entered before us.”
There had already been words carved into it. Several people focused all their attention on the palace, neglecting everything else.
“I didn’t expect the owner of this Star Burial Ground to leave behind so many valuable items—I’m taking two of them with me!”
“Old Man Zhanmo came for a visit. Apart from the Golden Stone Ocean, only the Luotian Battle Armor could catch my interest. I’ve taken it with me.”
“Sure enough, I also have the potential to become a tomb robber. Then I’ll take the Poison Dragon Pill and the Luotian War God Body with me!”
A few lines of messages left Wang Jilong, Lao Wu, and Xiao Yu somewhat disappointed.
They are gambling with their lives, yet there is no reward; no one can accept this.
Lu Yu lost much of his hope after seeing several lines of messages on the stone bridge.
He felt it would be a pity not to continue walking, even though he had already reached the stone bridge.
However, after seeing these few lines of messages, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
What these experts have their eyes on is likely the authentic burial item left by the tomb’s owner.
Wang Jilong gritted his teeth and said, “We don’t have anything at all. We don’t even know how to get out. Are we really going to die here?”
Lou Laowu stood there trembling all over, his face filled with resentment. He gritted his teeth and said, “Actually, there’s another way to reach the second palace!”
He felt extremely helpless, deeply reluctant, and somewhat pained when making such a decision!
Lu Yu looked at Lao Wu and said, “Oh, didn’t you say you had no more information about this place?”
Lao Wu looked at Lu Yu and said in a deep voice, “I really don’t have any more information! I just have a way to temporarily gather five people together. But that would expose my abilities. Do you think, if there were another way to get up there, I would willingly reveal my strongest ability to you?!”
When Zhang Qing found Lao Wu Lou, he told Lao Wu Lou about some information regarding the Star Burial Ground.
Lao Wu went to great lengths to learn about the Star Burial Site, even managing to gather some scattered information around Nanjing City.
A star burial site that requires a mutated star soul to unlock generally contains treasures that make people covet.
In the memories of some people in Nanjing City, there is information about this star burial site! These individuals have also been searching for the entrance. However, they are not mutated star souls, nor are they so fortunate!
Lao Wu also heard some information, which prompted him to invest all his savings to obtain some valuable intelligence.
He was especially well aware of the power of the five items located on the first level of this palace—knowing exactly which one was the strongest and which was the best. If they managed to gather all five items, they would still have a slight chance to fight their way out.
Lou Wu’s final hope was the items within the palace, but in the end, it all amounted to nothing.
He was not willing to accept it!
It’s not just about the loss; it’s more about not wanting to just turn back and leave like this!
His dream is to go out there, sweep through Nanjing, and become the ruler of the city!
Lao Wu clenched his teeth and said, “My Star Soul is a Twin Soul! It can split the Star Soul, and also divide the flesh and blood into two separate beings. Now, I have no choice but to do this.”
Lu Yu frowned and asked, “What you’re saying is that the split star soul is still a mutated star soul?”
“Correct!”
Lao Wu said in a low voice: “This is a secret. I hope you won’t reveal it, even if you know it!”
Wang Jilong knew there was still a chance to reach the upper level again, and he exclaimed with wild joy: “You can rest assured. As long as you help us gather five people to enter the second level, I will take this secret to my grave. And I, Wang Jilong, swear that as long as you don’t come into conflict with my Blood Eye, I will forever be your ally!”
Lou Lao Wu sneered coldly and said seriously, “Moreover, my requirement is this: if there are five items above, I will take two by myself. If there are more than five items, after each person takes one, I have the priority to choose the remaining ones!”
Lu Yu and others didn’t feel anything was wrong. If they could really get in, Lao Wu had put in twice the effort, so it was natural for him to receive more in return.
Lao Wu, seeing that all five of them opposed him, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to look pained.
A crimson line splits from the crown of the head down to the forehead, continuing onward—
Bang!
In an instant, Lao Wu’s body was split in half as if someone had cleaved him from head to toe. As the two halves separated, they rapidly exploded into a mist of blood.
Then, within the crimson mist, his body reformed into two separate figures.
These two people looked exactly like twins, both in facial features and appearance, and even wore the same clothes.
Lu Yu had never seen such a strange situation before, and couldn’t help but feel startled.
The two Lao Wu from the building nodded together and said, “Alright, go ahead and go up!”
The two moved in unison and stood before a stone pillar.
Lu Yu and the other two people each walked to a stone pillar and stood ready.
When the five placed their palms on the handprints of the stone pillar, a circular beam of light shot up from the center of the stone platform’s ground, reaching all the way to the dome above.
The pillar of light flickered slightly!
“I hope this one is empty too,” Lao Wu Lao said, though he couldn’t be sure this time.
Lao Wu took a deep breath and walked in.
He stood within the pillar of light, which flickered slightly once again.
Lu Yu frowned. No one had entered, so why was the pillar of light flickering?
Lu Yu’s heart quivered slightly, and suddenly he darted forward, becoming the second person to step into the pillar of light.
When he appeared on the second level, he was standing in the light at the center of the palace.
This place was no different from the first level, as if it were a smaller replica of the grand hall.
Lu Yu swept his gaze around. Apart from the five stone pillars surrounding the beam of light, there was nothing else except a heart suspended directly above the stone pillars.
Lao Wu was standing at the side, observing the heart floating above!
Lu Yu barely hesitated before suddenly raising his hand.
Boom!
Two hundred thousand demon-slaying swords were unleashed simultaneously, slashing from all directions toward the heart!
The Demon-Slaying Sword did not merely strike at the heart; it slashed in all directions.
The Twenty Thousand Demon-Slaying Swords went berserk, filling the surrounding space completely.
Lao Wu was slightly taken aback. He suddenly realized that countless Demon-Slaying Swords around him were slashing towards him. He couldn’t help but roar in anger, “Lu Yu, are you trying to seize it for yourself?!”
When Lou Laowu was filled with rage, Wang Jilong also rushed in through the beam of light.
He happened to hear Lao Wu’s voice from above. Without a second thought, he threw a punch at Lu Yu and shouted, “Damn it, you can’t even wait until we reach the top?”
But just then, near the heart of the sky, the Demon-Slaying Sword seemed to slash through something in the void, and blood began to seep out.
“Look at the sky!” Lu Yu pointed to the area over his heart, ignoring the punch Wang Jilong threw at him.
Wang Jilong and Lao Wu looked up and, the moment they saw the sky, hundreds of demon-slaying swords slashed toward a single direction.
There, in the void where the Demon-Slaying Sword had passed, countless bloodstains emerged out of nowhere.
Then, Zhang Qing emerged from the void.
One of his hands had already reached the heart.
“Haha!” Zhang Qing ignored the hundreds of wounds on his body and suddenly teleported dozens of meters away, clutching his heart and laughing maniacally.
At this moment, Lao Xiaoyu also entered this floor!
At this moment, everyone present had already understood everything.
Zhang Qing never actually died; he knows everything about this place.
From the very beginning, he was after this heart all along!
Lao Wu was almost driven mad with rage. He rushed toward Zhang Qing, roaring, “Damn it, so you were the one deceiving us all along!”
“Believe me, you will come,” Zhang Qing said, holding his heart. “Do you know why I chose you as my first opponent? It’s precisely because you possess the Twin Star Soul. Even if I were to feign my death, you would surely come up.”
Lou Laowu was taken aback for a moment, and then everything became clear. He stared at Zhang Qing, clenching his teeth, and said, “You also had someone deliberately feed me that information about this place.”
Zhang Qing clutched his chest, excitedly saying, “I should thank you for your generosity.”
“Die for me!”
The two old five-story buildings merged back into one person on their way to attack Zhang Qing.
“Get out!” Zhang Qing suddenly raised his hand, and the power surging from his palm transcended the peak of the fifth level, reaching directly to the sixth level.
Then, in an instant, the power of the Star Soul surged to the peak of the sixth level!
An attack power of nearly one billion surged toward Old Five like a tsunami in a storm, even more ferocious!
Boom!
The moment the two fists collided, Lao Wu’s arm exploded from the impact.
Zhang Qing slapped Lao Wu so hard that he flew far away, then laughed and said, “Don’t worry, you’re still useful.”
