Graveyard of the Gods towered like a mountain, standing on the dark bottom of the sea. Lin Qin and the other four God-level experts did not stop at the bottom. They rose up and flew upward along the cold tomb wall carved with ancient patterns.
As they went higher, the pressure brought by the sea seemed to weaken, but the vastness and deathly silence in the air became stronger. Soon, they reached the twelfth level of the cemetery. Here, a huge, dark hole with irregular edges appeared on the tomb wall, as if it had been gnawed out by some giant beast. The interior was deep, and it was unknown where it led. There were faint chaotic energy fluctuations emanating from it.
"We're here." War God O'Brien stopped, glanced at everyone, and finally paused on Lin Qin, "The entrance to the twelfth floor. Lowgod can only start from here. The eleventh floor and below are the battlefields of the Saint Realms, and the rules do not allow us to break in directly."
High Priestess Catherine A soft voice sounded, with a reminder: "Within the tomb, the space is chaotic, and each floor may be connected to different dangers. Even if it is the same floor, what you encounter may be completely different every time you enter. Be careful."
Dylan's narrow eyes flashed with cold light, and he added, "Don't expect anyone to save you. When in danger, rely on your own methods. If you die, you can only blame your own lack of strength."
Lin Qin just nodded slightly and quietly observed the deep cave entrance with his own light. He could feel some chaotic law aura remaining near the cave entrance, including Wind Element's lightness, Fire Element's explosion, and even a hint of death. This confirmed High Priestess's words that the environment inside was by no means static.
"Let's go." War God said no more. A stream of crimson flames appeared all over his body, and shot into the hole first, and his figure was instantly swallowed up by darkness.
High Priestess was surrounded by a soft green light of life, following closely behind. Dylan snorted coldly and turned into a blurry phantom. Cesar winked at Lin Qin, and his figure melted into the shadows like a ghost and disappeared at the entrance of the cave.
Lin Qin's body was surrounded by khaki light, and Earth Divine Power formed a solid shield on his body. He no longer hesitated and stepped in.
When passing through the hole, it seemed as if an invisible film had been passed, and the space was slightly distorted. The scene in front of me suddenly changed.
It was no longer the cold seabed, nor the expected tomb passage. What came into view was an endless dim yellow sky, with cracked, dry and hard earth underfoot, and some withered and strange thorns growing here and there. In the distance, there stood several dark red stone mountains pointing to the sky like giant swords, and the air was filled with the smell of sulfur and a deep silence.
"It is indeed an independent space." Lin Qin's spiritual consciousness dispersed instantly, but he immediately felt a strong suppressive force. The detection range of his spiritual consciousness was extremely compressed, and could only cover a few hundred meters around him. Moreover, the elemental energy in this piece of heaven and earth was extremely thin, especially Earth Element, which was far less active than Yulan Continent.
War God, High Priestess, Dylan, and Cesar are all not far away, each looking at the environment.
"It's the Desolate Gobi environment." High Priestess Catherine said, his voice still soft, but with a hint of solemnity, "In this environment, there may be more earth and dark creatures, and the elements are thin."
As soon as she finished speaking, the ground beneath everyone's feet suddenly shook slightly.
"Here we come." Dylan looked sharply.
Click! Click!
The ground a few hundred meters ahead suddenly cracked open, and three huge figures crawled out from the ground. They were made of dark yellow rocks and resembled a human shape, but their heads were square, with two green flames burning in their eye sockets. They were more than five meters tall, and their arms ended with sharp stone claws.
"Rock Golem? No, the aura is stronger." Cesar narrowed his eyes.
"It is the degraded body of Molten Core Giant, the product of being corroded by the breath of death." War God O'Brien affirmed, "The strength is roughly equivalent to the limit of the Saint Realm, but the defense is extremely strong, and the core is not broken, so it can continuously absorb the energy of the earth to repair itself."
The green flames in the eyes of the three rock giants locked onto the five God-level, they let out a silent roar, took heavy steps, the ground trembled, and they rushed towards them. The speed was not slow at all.
"Hmph, ant." Dylan was disdainful, and his body shook, leaving an afterimage on the spot, and his true body appeared on the shoulder of a rock giant. His five fingers formed into claws, and gray energy with Destruction's breath lingered on his fingertips, and he easily inserted into the rock giant's hard neck.
"Pfft!"
The gray energy exploded, and the head of the rock giant was instantly shattered into powder. The huge body shook and fell to the ground. But strangely, the fractured part of its neck did not completely lose its activity, and the dark yellow energy was still trying to condense.
"The core is in the chest." High Priestess reminded, she did not take action, just observed quietly.
War God O'Brien pointed like swords, and a red line of fire that was condensed to the extreme and was only as thick as a finger shot out, instantly piercing the chest of the other rock giant. The line of fire penetrated, leaving a molten hole in the giant's chest. In the center of the hole, a crystal stone emitting an earthy yellow light shattered with a "click". The movement of the rock giant stopped abruptly, and completely turned into a pile of stubborn rocks.
Cesar was even weirder. His figure circled the third rock giant like smoke. The giant's forward movement suddenly froze, and countless fine black lines appeared on the surface. Then the whole body was like a weathered sand sculpture, shattered inch by inch, and annihilated into ash, leaving only a dim khaki crystal core falling to the ground.
Lin Qin faced the last approaching rock giant and did not use any fancy skills. He simply punched out. There was no dazzling light on the fist, only a layer of earth-yellow divine power that was condensed to the extreme.
"Boom!"
His fist hit the stone claw swung by the rock giant. The stone claw shattered inch by inch like fragile glass, and the punch kept punching directly into the giant's chest.
An invisible stream of Pulsation Power containing high-frequency vibrations instantly penetrated into the giant's body.
"Hum one"
The giant's forward body suddenly stopped. The surface of the body seemed to be intact, but the internal structure had been completely shaken into the tiniest powder by the terrifying Pulsation mystery. The green flames in its eyes were extinguished instantly, and the huge body maintained its forward posture, standing frozen on the spot. Then the breeze blew by, turning into a cloud of fine yellow sand, falling down, and even the core crystal stone was turned into powder.
Clean, neat and efficient.
The eyes of the other four God-level experts moved slightly. War God had a flash of recognition in his eyes, High Priestess was thoughtful, and Dylan snorted coldly., but his eyes were more serious. Cesar whistled directly. "Tsk tsk, Lin Qin brother, you Laws of the Earth are a bit interesting. This shock force is powerful enough!"
Lin Qin withdrew his fist and looked calm. "Just cleaning up the soldiers."
War God O'Brien said, "This is just the beginning. The further you go in, the stronger the guards will be. This twelfth floor is not a small space, and we need to find the entrance to Thirteenth Floor. The entrance location is not fixed, and there are usually stronger guards guarding it."
"Search separately or together?" Dylan asked.
"Together." High Priestess Catherine said immediately, "This place is weird, and it is too risky to act alone. The five of us join forces, even if we encounter other guards in the middle God-level, we can still fight."
This proposal was acquiesced. Although the five God-level are not monolithic, in the face of unknown dangers, temporary alliance is a wise choice.
The five people no longer delayed, selected a direction, and flew away at low altitude. Lin Qin flew in the back position. While flying, they silently felt the spatial structure of this "Desolate Gobi" and The anomaly of Laws of the Earth. He discovered that although the earth element here is thin, the legal context is extremely clear, but it is mixed with a deep meaning of death and chaos. The risk of understanding it is not small, but if the impurities can be eliminated, the harvest may be greater than the outside world.
After flying for about half an hour, they encountered several waves of similar rock giants along the way, and even some giant poisonous scorpions hiding under the sand and flying bone birds that could spit corrosive acid, but they were all easily dealt with by the five people.
Suddenly, War God O'Brien flying in the front suddenly stopped and raised his hand to signal.
Everyone looked attentively.
A few miles ahead, Earth Split opened a huge canyon. On the opposite side of the canyon, stood a strange altar made entirely of bones. At the top of the altar, suspended, was a constantly rotating black vortex that emitted space fluctuations.
"Thirteenth Floor's entrance." Cesar whispered.
However, in front of the altar, on the edge of the canyon, stood two figures.
They were two knights wearing broken black armor and holding huge Bone Blade. They were riding Nightmare Beast, which was also made of white bones, and their eye sockets were burning with pale Soul Fire. The energy fluctuations emitted by them far exceeded any guards they had encountered before, and had already reached the Lowgod level!
"Death Knight----" High Priestess Catherine's voice was solemn, "And there are two of them. It seems that these are the gatekeepers of the twelfth floor."
The two Death Knight slowly raised the Bone Blade in their hands, and the pale Soul Fire locked onto the five God-level in the air, and cold murderous intent spread.
War God O'Brien was filled with burning fighting spirit. "One person at a time, solve the problem as soon as possible. Lin Qin, you have just become a god, please stay aside to prevent accidents."
Dylan and Cesar had no objections and each chose their target.
Lin Qin nodded and did not fight. He stepped back slightly, and his consciousness spread out with all his strength, covering the surrounding area. At the same time, Earth Divine Power secretly activated, guarding against possible attacks from other directions. He knew that this was both care and observation. He needed to see with his own eyes how these veteran Lowgod fought.
The battle is about to break out.
