Chapter 1570 The Real Entrance To The Relic

Amias was absolutely furious. Lord Starry Sword and the others knew they must treat him with caution.

Only by using the god's power would they have the chance to kill him.

"Amias, you are courting death," Lord Feng said coldly.

"Don't waste your time bragging before you die!" Amias snorted.

He swung the huge black metal rod in his hand, striking suddenly at Lord Feng and the others.

With twin booms, two rays of golden light shot outwards from the bodies of Lord Starry Sword and Lord

Feng.

Instantly, the entire underground cave was completely pierced through by the golden light.

'What is that?' Amias thought in surprise.

He probed the strange and powerful aura, feeling wary. 'Are these people truly from another era?' he

wondered. He had never felt this kind of power before.

"Lord Starry Sword, let's finish this battle as soon as possible!" shouted Lord Feng.

With that, the two of them fully unleashed their god's power. In an instant, the majestic pressure

between heaven and earth of the Archean Age began to press down on the two of them. They knew

that it was crucial to kill Amias as soon as possible. If they wasted time, it would be dangerous for

them.

"Kill the bastard!" yelled Lord Starry Sword.

A series of Supreme Sword Intent Forms and the tremendous spear intent instantly shot out, hurtling

towards Amias.

With a roar, Amias swung his dark metal rod.

He thrust with all his strength to parry the attacks.

Thin hairline cracks formed on the surface of the rod.

Then, with a shattering sound, the weapon of Amias was smashed into pieces. The rod had not been

able to withstand the combined god's power of Lord Starry Sword and Lord Feng.

"No!" bellowed Amias. "My rod! How could it break?" The loss of his divine weapon plunged him into

despair. 'What powerful force is this?' he thought, desperate and afraid.

Without his rod, he was defenseless against the attacks. He felt a pain that seemed to penetrate into

his very soul.

In that instant, his body felt lighter than air. It was crumbling into pieces, and each piece was dissolving

into dust.

"Death, I see my death," he tried to say, but he could no longer speak. In his last moment, Amias saw

the most important events of his life flash vividly through his consciousness. Then there was nothing.

Everything had returned to darkness and emptiness.

Upon the death of Amias, Lord Starry Sword and Lord Feng quickly withdrew their god's power, sealing

it in their God Characters.

But the pressure between heaven and earth had also harmed them. Their blood vessels burst, leaving

them drained and weak.

"If we had delayed in sealing the god's power, even just a second longer, we would have been

crushed," Lord Feng said darkly to Lord Starry Sword. They collapsed onto the ground. Blood covered

every inch of their skin.

In the consciousness world of the Archean Age, if their bodies were crushed, even the Rule Soul

Avatar would not be able to save them.

Seeing that Amias was dead, Darren quietly activated his Assimilating Force. He swallowed a purple

light into his body.

However, Darren still couldn't feel any substantial change in himself. He didn't know what the purpose

was served by the purple light.

"Well, at least the immediate problem has been solved. Give me and Lord Starry Sword a period of

time to recover. Then let's find the entrance to the relic," Lord Feng said.

Darren nodded. "I really want to see what this relic looks like," he said musingly.

And so time passed as Lord Starry Sword and Lord Feing recuperated. After three months, they were

ready to leave. Indeed, given the fact that in this situation they couldn't use their god's power to heal

themselves, they still managed to recover with amazing speed.

It was time to act. Darren and the others began their search for the real entrance to the relic.

"Have you detected the entrance, Rule Soul Avatar?" Darren asked.

The Rule Soul Avatar had spent the past three months using his Spirit Power to look for the entrance.

He had checked every inch of the underground cave, including the depths of the freezing water.

"No, I haven't," said the Rule Soul Avatar. He was perplexed. He couldn't imagine where the entrance

to the relic could be located.

"It's not one of the four passages?"

"No," said the Rule Soul Avatar. He added, "Each of the four passages is only dozens of kilometers

deep. They lead only to dead ends."

The Spirit Power of the Rule Soul Avatar had already infiltrated the passages thoroughly. There was

truly nothing there.

"If we can't find it, perhaps it's better to retreat for now," suggested Lord Feng.

After all, there was no great urgency in this quest. They were mostly driven by curiosity, not necessity.

Since they couldn't find the entrance, it would make sense to give up the search, at least temporarily. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"If we spend too much time here, the Ling Clan will probably come here and find out the death of their

young cultivators," the Rule Soul Avatar warned them.

The young cultivators of the Ling Clan had been guarding the relic for many years. Their clan should

have known that the relic had been opened. It had already been three months. The elders of the Ling

Clan would definitely send someone to investigate since their young cultivators hadn't returned yet.

Darren and his companions all knew it would be dangerous to provoke the Ling Clan. They were an

ancient and very powerful family. The teenager, Romeo Ling, was proof of that. Even at such a young

age, he was already immensely powerful. One could only imagine the level of power reached by the

greatest masters of the Ling Clan.

"All right," said Darren. "Let's retreat." They looked at Lord Starry Sword.

"No problem," he said, shrugging.

With that, the four of them sprang up.

The air whistled past them as they flew quickly up the passageway.

After flying for around two hours, they reached a dark section. They paused midflight, probing the area

around them. It was completely black. There was absolutely no light in this place.

"Why haven't we got to the exit yet? It's not that far away, is it?" Darren asked. He felt that there was

something wrong.

"Stop!" shouted the Rule Soul Avatar suddenly.

"We are not flying out... we are entering an unknown space," Lord Feng said slowly. He had also

sensed the abnormality.

The four of them floated in the darkness. There was nothing but emptiness around them. The

passageway seemed to have disappeared behind them and ahead of them.

"It turns out that flying out is the real entrance to the relic!" Darren said, sounding stunned. They

realized that they were now in the passageway to the relic.

The entrance had certainly been hidden in a clever way.

Most people who sought the relic would definitely explore the four passageways first, and they would

certainly fail, probably dying during the search. In this way, the vast majority of people who wanted to

find the entrance to the relic would be eliminated.

Those who realized that the search was fruitless would try to leave the way they had entered, and that

was when they would find the true passageway to the relic.

However, their search was not over yet. Just because they were in the passageway didn't mean they

could just go forward heedlessly. Many who came this far would still end up eliminated on the way to

the relic.

"Be careful," muttered the Rule Soul Avatar.

They began to fly upward, moving slowly, probing the path ahead of them.

After another two hours of this painstaking progress, the surroundings changed. They sensed many

stones floating in the vast darkness around them. The largest stone was as massive as a mountain,

while the smallest one was only the size of a cobblestone.

These stones were arranged in an unknown pattern. As the four of them flew, the stones increased in

number, until they were so dense that it blocked the way.

The Rule Soul Avatar reached out and closed his hand around a small stone.

He ran his fingers along the surface of the stone. He couldn't find anything strange about it. Then he

clenched his hand around the stone, crushing it.

Instantly, something burst out from the crushed stone. There was a tiny ball of light, almost like a bean,

floating in the Rule Soul Avatar's palm.

"It's a piece of Archean Spiritual Stone,"

the Rule Soul Avatar deduced. He could sense the majestic Archean energy from the small glowing

ball.

He focused on the bean-sized ball of light, absorbing it into his body.

"There is something hidden in these stones. But it's not necessarily a good thing," the Rule Soul Avatar

said in a tone heavy with foreboding.

"It seems that this is another test of the relic," Darren said.

"Yes, if we want to pass through this place, we must break the stones and create our own path. There

must be dangerous things hidden within some of these stones," Lord Feng said.

Lord Starry Sword was silent. He just lifted his sword and swung at a huge rock near him, smashing it

into pieces.
