Chapter 67 Ch 67: Earth King's Temple

It took a lot of effort for the 29 people to deal with both Dark Devil Storm and the monster.

After that, many people raise an objection and said they don't want to continue moving forward. They'll stop here and look for ways to return.

After conversing for more than half an hour, everyone other than Alex, Eloise, Ivaan, Aaban, Aayan, and five more people chose to stay at their places and look for ways to return. And if they failed, they'll just wait for the Ancient Land to close. At that time, they'll automatically be teleported out.

After that, Alex, and the other nine people continued to move forward.

Since they've already passed the Second Stage, it was time for them to take the third Stage which is unknown to them. It is because the information that appeared in their mind only told them that there are three stages on the Second Floor, where the first stage was Dark Wind Void and the second stage was Dark Devil Storm.

As for the third stage, there was no information about it.

These ten people didn't even walk for fifteen minutes when their surroundings suddenly changed as they appeared in front of a huge rock. Actually, there was a humongous mountain in front of them and the huge rock doesn't seem to be part of the mountain. Instead, it seemed to be an outer object that is hiding something behind it.

"In such situations, there is usually a cave hidden behind this kind of huge boulders. Let's break it and see if there is really a cave behind the boulder or not?"

It was Eloise who come forward with this suggestion. Alex was surprised when he heard this, but when he thought about it, he also approved of Eloise's words. It was not only Alex but other people also nodded their heads agreed with her.

"Open!"

Ivaan took action as he shouted in a low voice. The huge rock suddenly moved three meters to the north, revealing a ghastly and deep black hole.

"There really is a cave behind the boulder. What Eloise said is really right!" One of the people said in surprise and everyone nodded their heads.

"Let's go."

Aaban walked to the entrance of the cave and said to Ivaan and the others calmly. Then he took the lead and entered the cave.

Ivaan, Aayan, and the others looked at each other and hesitated for a moment. They were a little worried as they don't know what they'll be facing after entering the cave.

"Why aren't you guys coming?" Aaban stopped when he saw no one followed him and frowned.

"You guys just follow behind me."

Ivaan finally decided to enter the cave. Then he turned and told others to follow him and then walked into the cave.

Everyone walked around three to four miles inside the dark cave. Not long after, everything in front of them suddenly became clear. What appeared in front of them was an ancient city with a long and ancient aura.

"God, what place is this?"

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the scene in front of them.

Under the lead of Ivaan and the other two, everyone walked into the building. Along the way, there saw all kinds of weathered statues around them. Alex could vaguely feel a trace of the killing aura coming from these statues. It seemed like these were the means that the owner of this building had laid down all those years ago for safety purposes!

After walking for another two to three hundred meters, they passed through long corridors and stopped in front of a staircase that was dozens of feet wide and long but had no head.

"Is this really the last test, the third stage of Second Floor?"

A trace of doubt flashed across everyone's eyes.

Aaban looked up the stairs and said to one of the weaker people, "You go up and open that door. Maybe, there are treasures behind that door. After entering, you can choose one treasure before anyone else. How about it?"

"Alright."

That person nodded his head and said. Although he was unwilling in his heart, because of Aaban's strength, he didn't dare to voice out his objection. He was fully aware of what kind of person Aaban is, for he also comes from the Hundred Poison Sect. He knew he has no way out. He took a deep breath then stepped onto the stairs and walked up.

"You go up too!"

Thinking of something, Aaban again looked at Alex and said coldly.

"This guy... is he planning something?"

Alex's face turned cold when he heard Aaban and he snorted in his heart. However, he was also curious about what is behind the door, so he didn't say anything and walked up the stairs and caught up to the other person after taking a few steps.

Ivaan wanted to retort Aaban and say something but he saw Alex going up, so he stopped and didn't say anything.

At the same time, outside the cave, a flash of light appeared and swirled around suddenly. Then, with continuous flashes of light, a few bandit-type people appeared.

They looked at their surroundings in confusion. One of them said, "Haven't we all died under that dragon's claw. How did we appear here?"

It was only him, his other companions were also confused. However, when they looked at each other, they were shocked. One of them exclaimed fearfully, "Leader, look at us. We don't have bodies. It seems we are in the soul form!"

"What are you saying?"

The bandit leader snorted and looked at others' bodies. His eyes widened. He couldn't help but look at his own body then. He saw just like others, he doesn't have anybody. He was in the soul form currently. This shocked the bandit leader.

Everyone started panicking.

What was happening?

Is this the afterlife?

Before they could even think of something, the sky outside darkened as dark thunderclouds appeared. Thunder rumbled in the sky and then a huge face appeared.

If Alex was here, he would have been shocked to see that the huge face, which suddenly appeared in the sky, was actually the face of Atticus Finch.

Atticus's eyes lit up and then a few beams of light shot into the bandits' bodies. The next moment, silver light flashed as the bandits' souls drowned in silver light. When the silver light disappeared, the bandits were shocked to see that they were no longer in the soul form. Instead, they now have their bodies.

They looked at the face in the sky as if they were looking at a god. This kind of thing... Only a god can do this kind of thing. Only a god can create a body out of nowhere.

What they didn't know was that Atticus is the strongest person in the entire Universe.

What does Strongest in Universe mean?

No one can even imagine the unfathomable strength of the strongest person in the entire universe.

At this moment, a voice appeared in their mind, telling them that if they want to live again, they'll have to kill the people inside the cave.

After the voice appeared in their minds, the face from the sky disappeared and the dark thunderclouds also disappeared.

The bandits looked at each other in shock. Then they nodded their heads with determination in their eyes.

They are bandits. They have killed too many many people in their lives, so killing a few more doesn't means anything to them.

Since the god wanted them to kill the few people inside the cave, they'll definitely do that. This way, God will be happy and they can also live once again.

"Let's go inside!"

The bandit leader faintly said and then slammed his palm onto the huge rock. The huge rock exploded with a bang and shattered into pieces. Before this, only one-third of the entrance of the cave could be seen, but now, a huge, pitch-black hole appeared in front of everyone.

The bandit leader's eyes revealed a trace of joy and he sniffed like a dog, and then said, "From the looks of it, this should be a tomb of someone. Come, follow me down!"

After saying that, he took the lead and entered the cave, followed closely by his subordinates.

After a while, they also saw the shocking building complex.

Everyone's face revealed a shocked expression. The bandit leader soon found a familiar pattern here. This pattern was something he had seen in his previous life before his death.

"Earth King's Temple! It's actually the pattern of the Earth King's Temple. In other words, this place is either the ruins of the Earth King's Temple or the burial ground of some expert in the Earth King's Temple?"

The bandit leader waved his hand and said, "Let's go! Follow me in and take a look. This place is extraordinary. All of you, spread out, or you might be killed by the formation!"

"Also, there are other people that 'God' talked about. We have to look for them and kill them!"
