Chapter 1570 The Real Entrance To The Relic

Amias was absolutely furious. Lord Starry Sword and the others knew they must treat him withcaution. Only by using the god's power would they have the chance to kill him.

"Amias, you are courting death,” Lord Feng said coldly.

"Don't waste your time bragging before you die!" Amias snorted.

He swung the huge black metal rod in his hand, striking suddenly at Lord Feng and the others.With twin booms, two rays of golden light shot outwards from the bodies of Lord Starry Sword andLord Feng.

Instantly, the entire underground cave was completely pierced through by the golden light.

'What is that? Amias thought in surprise.

He probed the strange and powerful aura, feeling wary. “Are these people truly from another era?"he wondered. He had never felt this kind of power before.

"Lord Starry Sword, let's finish this battle as soon as possible!" shouted Lord Feng.

With that, the two of them fully unleashed their god's power. In an instant, the majestic pressurebetween heaven and earth of the Archean Age began to press down on the two of them. They knewthat it was crucial to kill Amias as soon as possible. If they wasted time, it would be dangerous forthem.

"Kill the bastard!" yelled Lord Starry Sword.

A series of Supreme Sword Intent Forms and the tremendous spear intent instantly shot out,hurtling towards Amias.

With a roar, Amias swung his dark metal rod.

He thrust with all his strength to parry the attacks.

Thin hairline cracks formed on the surface of the rod.

Then, with a shattering sound, the weapon of Amias was smashed into pieces. The rod had not beenable to withstand the combined god's power of Lord Starry Sword and Lord Feng.

"No!" bellowed Amias. "My rod! How could it break?" The loss of his divine weapon plunged himinto despair. "What powerful force is this?" he thought, desperate and afraid.

Without his rod, he was defenseless against the attacks. He felt a pain that seemed to penetrate intohis very soul.

In that instant, his body felt lighter than air. It was crumbling into pieces, and each piece wasdissolving into dust.

"Death, I see my death,” he tried to say, but he could no longer speak. In his last moment, Amiassaw the most important events of his life flash vividly through his consciousness. Then there wasnothing. Everything had returned to darkness and emptiness.

Upon the death of Amias, Lord Starry Sword and Lord Feng quickly withdrew their god's power,sealing it in their God Characters.

But the pressure between heaven and earth had also harmed them. Their blood vessels burst,leaving them drained and weak.

"If we had delayed in sealing the god's power, even just a second longer, we would have beencrushed," Lord Feng said darkly to Lord Starry Sword. They collapsed onto the ground. Bloodcovered every inch of their skin

In the consciousness world of the Archean Age, if their bodies were crushed, even the Rule SoulAvatar would not be able to save them.

Seeing that Amias was dead, Darren quietly activated his Assimilating Force. He swallowed a purplelight into his body.

However, Darren still couldn't feel any substantial change in himself. He didn't know what thepurpose was served by the purple light.

"Well, at least the immediate problem has been solved. Give me and Lord Starry Sword a period oftime to recover. Then let's replace the entrance to the relic,” Lord Feng said.

Darren nodded. "I really want to see what this relic looks like," he said musingly.

And so time passed as Lord Starry Sword and Lord Feing recuperated. After three months, they wereready to leave. Indeed, given the fact that in this situation they couldn't use their god's power toheal themselves, they still managed to recover with amazing speed.

It was time to act. Darren and the others began their search for the real entrance to the relic.

"Have you detected the entrance, Rule Soul Avatar?" Darren asked.

The Rule Soul Avatar had spent the past three months using his Spirit Power to look for theentrance. He had checked every inch of the underground cave, including the depths of the freezingwater.

"No, I haven't,” said the Rule Soul Avatar. He was perplexed. He couldn't imagine where theentrance to the relic could be located.

"It's not one of the four passages?”

"No," said the Rule Soul Avatar. He added, "Each of the four passages is only dozens of kilometersdeep. They lead only to dead ends."

The Spirit Power of the Rule Soul Avatar had already infiltrated the passages thoroughly. There wastruly nothing there.

"If we can't replace it, perhaps it's better to retreat for now," suggested Lord Feng.

After all, there was no great urgency in this quest. They were mostly driven by curiosity, notnecessity. Since they couldn't replace the entrance, it would make sense to give up the search, at leasttemporarily.

"If we spend too much time here, the Ling Clan will probably come here and replace out the death oftheir young cultivators,” the Rule Soul Avatar warned them.

The young cultivators of the Ling Clan had been guarding the relic for many years. Their clan shouldhave known that the relic had been opened. It had already been three months. The elders of theLing Clan would definitely send someone to investigate since their young cultivators hadn't returnedyet.

Darren and his companions all knew it would be dangerous to provoke the Ling Clan. They were anancient and very powerful family. The teenager, Romeo Ling, was proof of that. Even at such ayoung age, he was already immensely powerful. One could only imagine the level of power reachedby the greatest masters of the Ling Clan.

"All right,” said Darren. "Let's retreat.” They looked at Lord Starry Sword.

"No problem," he said, shrugging.

With that, the four of them sprang up.

The air whistled past them as they flew quickly up the passageway.

After flying for around two hours, they reached a dark section. They paused midflight, probing thearea around them. It was completely black. There was absolutely no light in this place.

"Why haven't we got to the exit yet? It's not that far away, is it?" Darren asked. He felt that there wassomething wrong.

"Stop!" shouted the Rule Soul Avatar suddenly.

"We are not flying out... we are entering an unknown space,” Lord Feng said slowly. He had alsosensed the abnormality.

The four of them floated in the darkness. There was nothing but emptiness around them. Thepassageway seemed to have disappeared behind them and ahead of them.

"It turns out that flying out is the real entrance to the relic!" Darren said, sounding stunned. Theyrealized that they were now in the passageway to the relic.

The entrance had certainly been hidden in a clever way.

Most people who sought the relic would definitely explore the four passageways first, and theywould certainly fail, probably dying during the search. In this way, the vast majority of people whowanted to replace the entrance to the relic would be eliminated.

Those who realized that the search was fruitless would try to leave the way they had entered, andthat was when they would replace the true passageway to the relic.

However, their search was not over yet. Just because they were in the passageway didn't mean theycould just go forward heedlessly. Many who came this far would still end up eliminated on the wayto the relic.

"Be careful," muttered the Rule Soul Avatar.

They began to fly upward, moving slowly, probing the path ahead of them.

After another two hours of this painstaking progress, the surroundings changed. They sensed manystones floating in the vast darkness around them. The largest stone was as massive as a mountain,while the smallest one was only the size of a cobblestone.

These stones were arranged in an unknown pattern. As the four of them flew, the stones increasedin number, until they were so dense that it blocked the way.

The Rule Soul Avatar reached out and closed his hand around a small stone.

He ran his fingers along the surface of the stone. He couldn't replace anything strange about it. Thenhe clenched his hand around the stone, crushing it.

Instantly, something burst out from the crushed stone. There was a tiny ball of light, almost like abean, floating in the Rule Soul Avatar's palm.

"It's a piece of Archean Spiritual Stone,"

the Rule Soul Avatar deduced. He could sense the majestic Archean energy from the small glowingball.

He focused on the bean-sized ball of light, absorbing it into his body.

"There is something hidden in these stones. But it's not necessarily a good thing," the Rule SoulAvatar said in a tone heavy with foreboding.

"It seems that this is another test of the relic," Darren said.

"Yes, if we want to pass through this place, we must break the stones and create our own path.There must be dangerous things hidden within some of these stones," Lord Feng said.

Lord Starry Sword was silent. He just lifted his sword and swung at a huge rock near him, smashingit into pieces.
