“What time is it now?”“It’s almost five o’clock.”“If we were outside, we’d have seen daylight already.”“That was a real close call. If Mr. Rockefeller didn’t have such amazing martial arts capabilities like a Cultivation Guru, and the fact that he’s even stronger than my father, we’d have all been dead together in this place.”“If William truly returned here on his own, he’d have been in grave trouble if he bumped into this!”In the giant tomb, beneath the half-remaining tower, Alex Rockefeller and the rest buried Darven Mikail’s body. Kenneth Sunder, Quincy Zoppins, and Zayne York drank the liquor they brought along and ate dried meat while chatting.Susan Hunter still felt guilty. She sat in front of the grave and didn’t move at all.Dorothy Assex and Freya Mayer were recovering their energy.Waltz Fleur and Maya Howards occasionally glanced at Dorothy Assex. For some reason, they still found her a little odd.Meanwhile, Alex Rockefeller had focused his attention entirely
After hearing that sentence, Quincy Zoppins ate the pill.Alex Rockefeller returned to the edge of the cliff near the passageway and looked around. Since it was far too deep under the cliff, he couldn’t see the bottom either.However, Alex still circled around the half-remaining tower.There weren’t any other passageways.“The cliff is so tall. We have no idea what’s down there. We’d definitely die if we jump down. Where do we go?” Kenneth Sunder asked with a frown.“West of Caesar’s Tomb…” Susan Hunter repeated while looking around the half-remaining tower. After a while, she suddenly said, “I think I get it.”“What were you thinking of?” Everyone became excited.Susan pointed at the place where the eight chains remained. “This is where Caesar’s coffin was hung. From what the ghost emperor said, this was the place where he was truly sealed. Hence, this is where Caesar’s tomb is located. This half-remaining tower is his tomb.”After that, she pointed at the eight chains.“Th
Splash!Alex was the first to dive in.The water was quite chilly, but it wasn’t unbearable. It shouldn’t be a problem for anyone, even if they had no powers like Alex. Susan was the one in most discomfort. Since she had just taken a blood energy pill, the water temperature should be alright for her, but she might need help when it came to holding her breath underwater.In just moments, all of them dove in.Alex was initially worried about Susan. He wanted to ask Waltz to help her out. Unexpectedly, Susan had made preparations for this, taking a tiny mask and snorkel out.“Are we diving to the bottom?” Kenneth asked. “We just tried that earlier. We have no idea how deep this is. It’s not just hundreds of meters deep. I don’t think most of us could handle such strong water pressure.”Everyone froze, thinking about this problem as well.Alex and Dorothy wouldn’t have any problems in this process, but even Waltz, a strong fighter, would be uncomfortable with such pressure on her lu
Quincy asked, “Is it possible to train, even just with half of it?”“Yeah, it is,” Zayne replied. “But there’s no way that we could actually become cultivators! One thing though, this definitely greatly improved my training.”Alex pondered and asked, “If you’re willing to, Mr. York, you can show me the Drifter Skill Book once we’re out of here. I’ll see if I can help make some changes to it.”“Change… the book?” Not only Zayne was shocked, but Freya was surprised as well.‘All skill books that were passed down for generations had been fully thought out and practiced. How can you just say that you’re going to change it after taking a look? Are you for real now?’“Don’t be so shocked,” replied Waltz. “My brother’s skills are out of this world. You simply cannot imagine what he can do. He amended my skills and Maya’s as well.”“Ah… he’s that powerful?”Just as Zayne was getting fired up, the water levels had reached the very bottom. Everyone could feel the ground beneath their fe
“I can save Mom!” Alex was overwhelmed.The two main reasons he came to this tomb were to find Soul Substitute Lotus Seeds and follow his father’s tracks.It seemed he was about to complete his first mission.At that moment, the others crossed the barrier successfully as well. After the soul of the ghost emperor of Caesar's tomb was destroyed, every danger in this large tomb seemed to have disarmed themselves.It stood to reason that the person who planted all these traps probably didn’t want to kill every person who entered the tomb. They wanted to leave some form of hope for them.As long as they’ve found this small glimmer of hope, it wasn’t necessary to set any more traps. Just like how players could get through a game by passing each level, any other traps would be like little raindrops compared to the 100 thousand resentful spirits and the ghost emperor within the blood river.“Black Soul Lotus!” Freya shouted as soon as she saw the lotuses on the large pond.“Are there
‘I can’t possibly let this beast eat any more lotus plants. I have to get them!’“How dare you, beast!?” Alex yelled.He stomped harshly on the ground and leaped into the air, lunging towards the black beast in the middle of the pool. In his hand was the Seven Blades of Death, slicing the air with sheer murderous intent as he formed a shield on the beast’s head.Just then, the beast finally realized that there were other strangers around the pool.Pausing for a slight second, it immediately swung its big tail towards Alex.“Kill! Seven Blades of Death!” Slash!!!A large wound was sliced across the beast’s face, causing it to bleed profusely.However, the beast’s tail still managed to hit Alex’s body harshly, sending Alex flying into the pond like a missile.“Alex!” Waltz shouted in panic, rushing toward the pond to help.Seeing this, Dorothy stopped her and huffed. “You’re weak, so are you looking for a death wish? I’ll help. Maya, take this chance and collect some of those
“Demon?” Susan was appalled.Even as a tomb raider, she had never seen demons her entire life.“There’s literally a ghost emperor here, so I don’t think demons are extraordinary!” Dorothy replied. “Demons have already blended in with humans and have been around us since the Stone Age! They could have existed earlier than humans too! Hence, many humans have the blood of demons running un them.”She then turned to look at Susan. “Like you, you have Clairvoyant Eyes. That’s because you have the blood of some demon within you.”Quincy chuckled. “So you’re saying that Susan’s a mongrel?”Susan glared at him. “Quincy Zoppins, you’re always spouting such bullsh*t!”Quincy replied, “If you could actually spout bullsh*t out of your mouth, I’ll call you master.”Susan was so angry that she started heaving, but she couldn’t do anything at the time. Even so, she was still quite interested in Dorothy’s explanation of demons.“Then what demon blood do I have in my body?”Dorothy said, “It
However, this was just a temporary solution. Alex knew that he still had to find a way to completely solve the problem of Brittany’s lack of a soul.***Splash!Alex went back into the water and collected both the cores and barbels from the smaller beast corpses.Suddenly, he noticed that there was a large entrance to the Hell Fish’s nest. After putting in some thought, he crawled into the cave.‘There’s probably no old Hell Fishes around, right?’Alex held the Seven Blades of Death in one hand and a flashlight in the other.He then noticed that the cave was abnormally huge. After swimming further into it, he even found a ray of light from within.‘What is this?’‘This is probably thousands of meters underground! How could the bottom be linked to anywhere outside? Where did this light come from?’Just as he was drowning in confusion, he felt something grab his foot.‘Holy sh*t!’ Alex was shocked, swinging his Seven Blades of Death. However, he stopped abruptly as soon as he
