Trap

"Is this the Small World inside the tomb?"

After the white light led all the powerful figures into this cemetery, they immediately showed a look of shock.

This was a vast underground palace. With each breath, everyone felt as if they had become lighter, and endless Immortal Qi rushed towards them, making them feel as if they were about to ascend to heaven.

Ahead, the sky was filled with auspicious clouds and rosy hues, a vast expanse of heaven and earth, shrouded in endless radiance and Immortal Qi mist.

There stood a magnificent, towering platform, teeming with chaotic energy and filled with Immortal Qi.

On the high platform, a coffin lay quietly.

"We've finally arrived. Could that coffin be the remains of the Great Emperor Tian Yuan?"

"Impossible. Great Emperor Tian Yuan has been dead for countless years. Even if there were remains, they wouldn't have been ignored. It's most likely the remains of Great Emperor Tian Yuan's Imperial Son."

The high platform was filled with Chaos Qi, making it extremely magnificent.

Everyone's Divine Capital like that of a burning flame.

This might contain the remains of a supreme being.

Once brought back, using this body as raw material, we might be able to refine the legendary eighth or even ninth-order evolution fluid; at the very least, we could create a large number of incredibly powerful mechs.

"Please wait a moment, everyone!"

However, just as everyone was excited, Cao Tianjun, the sage of the Cao Family who opened the entrance to the tomb's underground palace, suddenly unleashed a burst of holy power, and his grand voice echoed throughout the entire underground palace.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then a look of astonishment appeared on their faces. What was he going to do?

However, several quick-witted cultivators suddenly felt a chill run down their spines, as if a dark cloud was pressing down on them, making them feel uneasy.

"What instructions does Cao Tianjun have?" asked the sage of the Sun Never Sets Family.

"There might be the remains of a god in that coffin, or perhaps Divine Armor; but if these things are indeed found, who will they belong to?" Cao Tianjun was calm and composed, his gaze sweeping over everyone with a hint of smugness.

The faces of all the saints immediately darkened.

"What do you mean?" the sage of the Xutuo Family asked in a deep voice.

"It doesn't mean anything. We just want to divide the spoils before opening the coffin. Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry is qualified to stand with us." Cao Tianjun said with an air of self-righteousness.

"That's good. We should kill these rogue cultivators as soon as possible!" The saint of the Lanto Family nodded, his gaze sweeping over the mercenary groups.

In his view, these rogue cultivators were not qualified to stand with them and share in this feast.

Upon hearing this, all the mercenaries around were immediately in an uproar, and even several large mercenary groups couldn't help but change their expressions slightly, glaring angrily at the Zhao Family sage.

"Ancient Sage Lanto, do you think you're invincible?" A saint from the mercenary group finally stepped forward, his Killing Intent palpable, as if he were about to strike at the slightest provocation.

"Haha..." Ancient Sage Lanto Saint laughed loudly, his messy hair flying, and said loudly, "Why do you think we can become the immortal lineage of the Yongheng Star Domain? Which of us immortal lineages has not produced Great Sage? You rogue cultivators dare to compare yourselves with us?"

"Whoosh..."

All the mercenaries erupted in commotion. Such words offended everyone; only the Lanto Family in the entire Yongheng Star Domain dared to say such a thing.

The Lanto Family was a notorious bandit family in the Yongheng Star Domain, whose main business was robbery and human trafficking. They were the most hated family by all rogue cultivators and mercenaries.

"These trash are naturally not qualified to stand with us, but please imagine, this underground palace has no entrance. Even if we seize the treasure, how will we get out?" Cao Tianjun said leisurely.

Ancient Sage Lanto, who had initially looked down on the rogue cultivators with an air of arrogance, suddenly changed his expression.

Not only Ancient Sage Lanto, but also other families and even rogue cultivators, all realized something at this moment.

Immediately, countless people extended their divine senses, and some even prepared to force their way out of the underground palace.

But it was all in vain; the force they unleashed was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, unable to harm the underground palace in the slightest.

"If one needs to use the secret method of the Wu Shi to enter this place, is it also necessary to use the same secret method to leave?" A sage asked, his voice trembling slightly.

Even if this Small World is rich in spiritual energy, with so many saints trapped here, this energy certainly won't last long; it will be exhausted within a hundred years. Then everyone will die here.

At this moment, Dao Yi was also suddenly shocked. Could this be a trap?

However, he remained calm, as if everything was under control. He slowly walked to his protector and asked telepathically, "Well, is there a way to get out?"

The old man said, "We can't get out. The space here seems to be completely suppressed by some extremely terrifying force, and there's no way to get out. Even using the Immortal Armor might not work."

"The suppression is most likely due to that stone tablet, which contains the Dao of several Supreme Beings... This place should have Wu Shi by Wushi to his successors. Only those who have cultivated Wu Shi's Dao and Dharma can freely enter and exit. We were reckless this time!" Dao Yi sighed inwardly, but he remained calm.

With both the Imperial Weapon and the Emperor-level forbidden artifact in his hands, he was still quite confident that he could get out. However, the price he might have to pay this time was a bit too high; at least his forbidden artifact might have to consume a lot of power.

"Cao Tianjun, do you intend to use this to blackmail us and take the treasure for yourself?" All the Ancient Saint looked at Cao Tianjun with solemn expressions.

"Of course, it's not about coercion, but in terms of distribution, our Cao Family wants to take 50%!" Cao Tianjun made an outrageous demand, directly quoting 50%.

"Heh heh, fifty percent, your Cao Family really has a good plan. But are you so sure that the secret technique you possess will allow you to leave this place?" The Fan Family Saint sneered.

Cao Tianjun was very confident. He once again activated the secret technique left behind by Wu Shi and said leisurely to one of his juniors, "Very well, I will send one of my Cao Family's juniors out first and then we can have a proper discussion!"

However, the descendant of the Cao Family did not make a move and remained standing in the same spot.

"Go!" Cao Tianjun shouted softly.

They remained motionless; their junior had not left.

"One more time!" Cao Tianjun was getting a little impatient.

However, his own descendants remained standing there, unmoved.

"Damn it, what's going on?! It's an illusion! It must be an illusion!" Cao Tianjun panicked, feeling like crying. He had started out giving advice and guidance, but in the blink of an eye, he was proven wrong. The contrast was too great.

But nothing had changed. His junior stood there, completely bewildered. He panicked; the consequences were dire!

Not only are others trapped here, but he himself is trapped here too!

Zhou Tong chuckled.

Yes, it was definitely an illusion!

When did you start to have the illusion that you could control this place?

"Cao Tianjun, you can't leave either?" The others' expressions changed drastically. If even Cao Tianjun, who had opened the door, couldn't get out, what were the others supposed to do?

"Oh no! The coffin is empty!!"

Just as everyone was getting anxious, someone exclaimed in surprise.

While they were discussing it, someone had already secretly climbed onto the platform and opened the coffin.

Everyone turned their attention to the high platform. Someone had even turned the coffin over, but there were no treasures inside.

"Could it be that we're too late, and the things here have already been taken by the successor of the Wu Shi One?" Everyone subconsciously thought of this.

Countless people were in despair; they had no treasure and were trapped here.

At the same time, Zhou Tong, who was far away in Eternal Ancient Star, suddenly looked at his palm, and the phantom of the Tian Yuan Stone Tablet appeared. "Everyone has entered that tomb, and next is the sealing of the secret realm."

"All those who pose a threat to me have been temporarily trapped. The entire Yongheng Star Domain is now at my disposal!"

"However, we still need to speed things up, otherwise by the time the Divine Organization and Dao Yi react, that Small World won't be able to hold them at all." Zhou Tong got up and headed straight outside.

The Divine Organization has Quasi-Emperor. If that Quasi-Emperor goes to the rescue, they can definitely break through that Small World by attacking from both inside and outside. If Dao Yi decides to spare no expense, even if it means consuming his own forbidden artifact, he can also break through that Small World.

Everything Zhou Tong is doing now is simply taking advantage of a time difference.

Get everything sorted out before they realize what's happening.
