After leaving the passage, everyone's view abruptly widened.
Before their eyes stretched the end of the tunnel, revealing a vast cavern.
At the center of the cavern stood a colossal statue, over ten zhang high, clad in golden armor, wielding a broadsword, commanding unspoken authority, radiating with an overwhelming sense of righteousness.
And surrounding the statue were three piles of gems like mini mountains, emitting blinding light of various colors.
"Top-Grade Primordial Stones!"
"Secret Technique Crystals!"
Everyone stared intently at the three piles of treasures, their eyes gleaming with greed.
Even Zhao Letian and Shi Tao were taken aback with shocked expressions.
It is well known that the ranks of Primordial Stones are divided into Lower Grade, Mid-Grade, High Grade, and Top Grade.
A single Top-Grade Primordial Stone is equivalent to a hundred High Grade Essence Stones.
The mere value of this collection of Top-Grade Primordial Stones surpassed all of Zhao Letian's current wealth.
As for the pile of Will Crystals the size of chicken eggs, emitting light of various elements, they were even more precious.
It is known that the Martial Arts Realm is divided into Stages, Minor Achievement, Unity of Heaven and Man, and then comes the Power of Will.
Will Crystals are the crystallization of the Power of Will that King-level Experts condense while comprehending the Power of Will, containing the force of will, which can help other Martial Artists quickly grasp the Power of Will, possessing incalculable value.
Even for a King-level Expert, it would consume tremendous power to condense a Will Crystal.
As for the final pile of Secret Technique Crystals the size of a fist, also emitting light of varied properties, they were even more treasured.
Because beyond will in the Martial Arts Realm lies the comprehension of Secret Techniques.
Typically, only Monarch Level Experts can grasp the power of Secret Techniques.
These Secret Technique Crystals are the crystallization of Monarch Level Experts while they comprehend the power of Secret Techniques, containing the essence of Secret Technique power, and are invaluable treasures that can aid other Martial Artists in grasping the power of Secret Techniques swiftly.
Likewise, the Secret Technique Crystals are difficult to condense, and even Monarch Level Experts have to expend a lot of energy to produce them.
Both Will Crystals and Secret Technique Crystals are mission items designated by the three great empires.
One could imagine their significance to the people gathered here.
However, the three great empires do not force talented individuals from various nations to hand over Will Crystals and Secret Technique Crystals; these geniuses can choose to keep them or exchange them with the empires for items of equivalent value.
Regardless, these three piles of treasures were something that everyone present was bound to acquire.
"It's a Spiritual Artifact!"
"It's a Top-grade Spiritual Artifact!"
The crowd's gaze shifted upwards, and soon above the three piles of treasures, they spotted three floating Spiritual Artifacts exclaiming in surprise.
The three Spiritual Artifacts were respectively a longsword, a broadsword, and a bow and arrow, all exuding terrifying auras, clearly being Top-grade Spiritual Artifacts used by Monarch Level Experts, floating above the three Treasure Mountains.
"Brother Zhao, why do I feel something's not quite right? Why would these immensely valuable Treasure Mountains be placed here, and those three Top-grade Spiritual Artifacts, why are they floating above the mountains? It feels rather eerie."
With a hint of fiery desire in his eyes but without losing reason, Shi Tao frowned, speaking with a sense of concern.
"Those three Spiritual Artifacts look like the Array Eyes of some kind of Array Formation, seemingly suppressing something."
Zhao Letian also frowned, gazing at the three Treasure Mountains in front of him, speaking calmly, with an uneasy premonition in his heart.
While the value of these Treasure Mountains shocked him greatly, with the memories of the Dragon Clan's legacy within him, he possessed access to a treasure trove of incalculable value, so he was not as excited as the others.
Shi Tao's heart trembled, and a solemn expression appeared in his eyes.
Linking that to the battle traces in the city, as well as the pathway just now, he could confirm that the people in this Small World must have encountered some terrifying enemy.
Could it be that beneath these three Treasure Mountains, a powerful ancient entity from the Ancient Times is suppressed?
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!..."
At this moment, the other Martial Artists could no longer restrain their greed, and almost simultaneously rushed towards the three Treasure Mountains, none willing to fall behind.
Although they also sensed something strange about this place, faced with the immense temptation of the three Treasure Mountains, they couldn't care less.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."
However, before they even got close, they were repelled by a suddenly emerging Array Formation Light Shield.
"Damn it, another array!"
Everyone's faces darkened, and they cursed in frustration.
"Hmph! No matter the array, let's join forces and blast it open!" Thıs content belongs to novèlfire.net
Someone said impatiently.
Everyone echoed in agreement and immediately launched their attacks at the Array Formation Light Shield in front of them.
"Brother Zhao, shall we join them?"
Shi Tao's eyes revealed an eager look, and he couldn't help but ask. The allure of the three Treasure Mountains was too great, and even he was somewhat tempted. If possible, he too wanted a share of the spoils.
"It's pointless; this is a complete fourth-level array, utterly incomparable to the broken arrays outside. With just the power of people in the True Martial Realm, we absolutely cannot break it!"
Zhao Letian smiled wryly and shook his head.
If he wasn't wrong, those three Top-grade Spiritual Artifacts were the Array Eyes of this fourth-level Array, and the three Treasure Mountains were the energy source of this Array. Without severing their connection, the power of those in the True Martial Realm was simply incapable of shaking this Array.
"A fourth-level array? Nothing is absolute; how can we know without trying?"
Shi Tao's brow furrowed, but he spoke with reluctance to give up. After all, the three Treasure Mountains were too tempting. If there was even a sliver of possibility, no one would choose to give up.
"You can go ahead and try."
Zhao Letian responded with a shake of his head and a smile.
A fourth-level Array corresponded to the strength of a Monarch Level Expert, and those in the True Martial Realm before a fourth-level Array were nothing but ants. If they could shake this Array, that would be a ghostly miracle.
"Fine, I'll give it a shot; there won't be any loss anyway."
Shi Tao grinned and directly unleashed a huge blade light, striking at the Array Formation Light Shield.
The next moment, the blade light struck the Array Formation Light Shield, causing an explosive sound. The Top-grade Spiritual Artifacts floating above the three Treasure Mountains simultaneously dimmed with Spirit Light, all falling down.
At the same time, the originally unbreakable Array Formation Light Shield began to flicker, seemingly on the verge of collapse.
"How is that possible?"
Seeing this scene, both Zhao Letian and Shi Tao were stunned with disbelief.
Zhao Letian absolutely did not believe that someone in the True Martial Realm could shake a fourth-level Array, but the reality before his eyes left him no choice but to believe.
Shi Tao also couldn't believe his attack was so powerful that he nearly shattered the fourth-level Array with a single slash.
"No, that's not right!"
Zhao Letian, unwilling to accept this, had a flash of green light in his eyes. He activated his Qingxiao Dharma Eye to take a closer look, and suddenly, his expression drastically changed, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.
