Chapter 48 Greed
Chapter 48 Greed
This oppressive aura was like the breath of an ancient behemoth, heavy and suffocating, causing the space to tremble and inspiring awe in everyone present.
Even those with profound cultivation couldn't help but feel an indescribable tremor in their hearts, as if they were facing not a door, but an ancient being that had transcended time and space.
At the same time, the divine runes on the bronze door seemed to be activated, releasing a dazzling light that illuminated the entire space as if it were daytime. The light seemed to contain some ancient and mysterious power that made people tremble.
However, faced with this ancient pressure, although everyone's expressions were solemn, they became even more determined to explore the secrets behind the door.
The power contained within that oppressive aura is both a challenge and a temptation, seemingly able to connect directly to ancient times and unlock the most hidden mysteries of the world.
"Hold on, the secret behind the door is about to be revealed!"
The elderly human's voice was deep and resonant, boosting morale. His cane traced a mysterious trajectory in the air, releasing bursts of peaceful light in an attempt to stabilize the chaotic space around him caused by the surging energy.
The ancient remnant was not to be outdone. Its scales shimmered with an eerie light, and it let out a low roar. A primal and wild power erupted from its body, resonating with the surrounding energy torrent, as if to awaken dormant ancient memories.
Other races also displayed their unique abilities, some weaving defenses with runes, others exploring the unknown with the power of their souls. The whole scene was magnificent, with various forces intertwined to form a splendid picture that transcended time.
"Snap!"
Finally, with everyone's tireless efforts, accompanied by a faint but clear cracking sound, the ancient seal on the bronze door finally loosened, and cracks spread across the door, as if the traces of time were forcibly removed at this moment.
Within the cracks, there is both the primordial chaos and the clearly audible ancient chanting, as well as the strange phenomena that only exist in legends, all of which arouse awe and longing.
"It's open! It's open!"
As the bronze door cracked, the crowd became excited, cheers rose and fell, and representatives of each faction stared intently at the widening crack, their eyes gleaming with greed and anticipation.
At the same time, as the bronze door slowly opened, an ancient and pure energy surged out like a tide, instantly filling the entire space and giving everyone present an unprecedented sense of freshness and cleansing.
This energy seems to contain the secrets of the beginning of time, making people feel as if they are in a completely new world, and their souls are elevated like never before.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the bronze door opened completely!
At the same time, an ancient and mysterious scene came into view. It was a bizarre and wonderful world, with colorful lights floating in the sky, as dazzling as stars.
On the earth, ancient runes and arrays intertwine to form a net, radiating mysterious and unpredictable power fluctuations.
"call out!"
Just as everyone was immersed in this mysterious world, a voice suddenly rang out, revealing that some being was taking advantage of the distraction to try and enter that world first.
"Someone beat me to it!"
This sudden turn of events jolted everyone present awake, and for a moment, everyone was filled with shock and anger.
They went through so much trouble to open this door to the unknown, how could they tolerate others getting there first?
"Chase him! We can't let him get all the treasure behind the door!"
A sharp glint flashed in the eyes of the human elder. With a shake of his cane, he transformed into a streak of light, following closely behind the one who had gone first.
The ancient remnant also roared, its scales shimmering, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, following closely behind.
Other races also dared not be negligent, and they all unleashed their respective supernatural powers, transforming into dazzling beams of light as they rushed into that mysterious world.
"Bang!"
To everyone's surprise, the seemingly wide-open bronze gate was actually blocked by an invisible wall, preventing those eager to rush in from entering. They were bounced back as if they had hit an invisible barrier, falling to the ground in astonishment.
"What is this? Why can't we get in?"
This scene enraged many powerful ancient beings, who launched another attack. However, this time it had no effect; their attacks were absorbed by the world inside the gate, like stones sinking into the sea.
Not only that, but the next moment these attacks were returned to their masters with even greater force, causing the few who had no time to react to disappear into the world.
Seeing this, no one dared to make a move easily anymore. Everyone began to examine the bronze door, looking for a way to break the deadlock.
"This door... seems to have its own will."
After an unknown amount of time, a human woman skilled in formations seemed to have an epiphany. Her fingertips lightly traced the air, as if touching the invisible barrier: "It seems to be testing us, or... making a choice."
The woman's words startled everyone, and they all focused their attention on the bronze door, trying to understand its meaning.
However, this bronze door is an ancient artifact, and it is beyond their comprehension.
"or·······"
Finally, someone suddenly pointed to the crowd watching from a hundred miles away: "Let them try."
This suggestion immediately caused a huge uproar among the crowd.
Using innocent bystanders as test subjects is undoubtedly an extremely cruel and immoral choice. But faced with the potential inheritance behind the bronze door, greed in the hearts of some people gradually began to take over.
Many people turned their attention to their respective representatives, clearly showing their interest.
"Let them go?"
However, the human elder did not agree immediately. Instead, he frowned, his gaze sweeping over the crowd a hundred miles away, and he hesitated before saying, "Isn't this against morality?"
"Morality? Hmph, what morality is there to speak of on this treasure hunt?"
In response, an ancient remnant with a body like a bear, a nose like an elephant, eyes like a rhinoceros, a tail like a cow, and legs like a tiger sneered, glaring fiercely at the crowd a hundred miles away, and said, "Besides, they are nothing but ants."
"Instead of letting them get away with the easy money after us, it's better to let them pave the way for us first. That way, we'll make the best use of them."
These words immediately brought the various factions present to their senses.
Yes, rather than letting them get away with it, we should let them take the risks for us first.
Once this idea took root in people's minds, it spread rapidly and became an irresistible consensus.
After all, in this dog-eat-dog world, strength and interests are the only standards by which everything is measured.
Even the human elder, though reluctant, ultimately agreed.
