Ghostly green flames stained the city's night sky. The chilling pressure of the opening Fengdu Ghost Gate was like invisible ice water, soaking into every corner of the city.
Deep within the ancient tomb, Fang Gang stood before a massive bluestone gate covered in runes.
The Shushan Sword Talisman hovered before him, its pearly-white fish-like body buzzing urgently. Its sword tip pointed firmly at the Fengdu Ghost Gate diagram in his hand, conveying a silent warning.
Deep beneath his feet, the cold, deathly still yet anciently majestic aura seeping through the cracks in the stone gate stirred uneasily like a sleeping behemoth that had been disturbed.
"No time." Fang Gang's gaze was sharp as a blade.
Elder Withered Bone's threat, the opening Fengdu Ghost Gate, and the unknown terrifying existence deep beneath this tomb all pointed to one conclusion—he had to quickly find the Earth Vein Weak Point mentioned in Fatty Chen's posthumous work!
He hesitated no longer. His right fist, covered in dark-gold dragon scales, clenched tightly as the immense power of the mid-Aperture Condensing Realm roared within the Power Aperture furnace!
"Open!"
With a low shout, his right fist blasted out! There was none of the earth-shattering force of the World Shaking Dragon Fist, only penetrating power condensed to the extreme!
His fist struck precisely at the crack in the center of the bluestone slab! Dark-gold fist force imbued with Dragon Elephant Prison Suppressing power drove in viciously like a red-hot steel awl!
Crack, crack, crack—!
The hard runic bluestone groaned under the strain, and spiderweb-like cracks spread madly from the fist mark!
The stone gate shook violently, dust raining down in streams!
With a muffled boom, the half-meter-thick bluestone slab shattered and collapsed inward, revealing a deep opening barely wide enough for one person to pass through.
