Chapter 174
But soon, Adam understood.
Although the cultivators on the periphery were relatively weak, there were simply too many of them.
The guards from the major factions couldn’t hold the line, these people were like a massive school of fish.
They didn’t care if one or two died in the rush.
Adam sighed, humans die for wealth, just as birds die for food.
Suddenly, he noticed Codin was standing in place, unmoving, he asked curiously, "Why aren’t you charging in?"
"I’m not that stupid. The Saint’s Tomb just opened, so the competition is at its fiercest, charging in now is courting death. I might as well wait until they finish robbing the place, and then I’ll rob them!" Codin chuckled, his face full of shrewdness.
Adam’s mouth twitched, this guy is truly honest.
"Seventh Brother, why aren’t you going in?" Codin suddenly asked back.
"I told you, I like reading books. Hmm? Wait, who is your Seventh Brother?" Adam frowned.
"Didn’t we become sworn brothers just now? Before you, I already made five other sworn brothers. Although my skills aren’t high, I’m kind-hearted and value loyalty!" Codin patted his chest proudly.
RUMBLE!
Suddenly!
Just as Codin finished speaking, another deafening explosion rang out from the Saint’s Tomb.
An azure-black grand formation abruptly shot into the sky, completely enveloping the entire Saint’s Tomb, except for the outermost layer.
A terrifying aura instantly spread out.
Everyone who hadn’t entered felt their hair stand on end, a wave of palpitations washing over them.
"Quick, quick! Something unexpected happened! Quickly contact the clan to send reinforcements!"
The disciples of the major factions who stayed behind wore expressions of sheer panic.
"Oh my goodness, thank goodness I didn’t go in!" Codin’s mouth fell open, his face full of shock.
"Hey, Seventh Brother, what are you doing? You don’t want to go into the tomb, do you? Don’t do something you’ll regret!"
He suddenly saw Adam walking toward the tomb and was even more shocked.
Adam ignored this overly familiar guy.
Right now, all the peak combatants of the major factions had gone deep inside, and the people outside were in complete chaos. It was the perfect time to move the books.
Codin looked at Adam’s back and wanted to pull him back, but seeing that terrifying grand formation, he shrank his neck and gave up.
Instead, like everyone else, he backed far away from the Saint’s Tomb.
Adam entered the outermost tomb chamber without obstruction.
Perhaps because of the azure-black grand formation, the guards in the chamber had all been scared away.
This made it incredibly convenient for Adam.
Wait, no!
Taking books isn’t stealing!
Looking at the packed bookshelves, the corners of Adam’s mouth split into a grin that nearly reached his ears.
Opening the first storage bag, he began to pack up the books.
He cleared them out bookshelf by bookshelf.
"So satisfying!"
Very quickly, an entire tomb chamber was completely emptied by Adam, leaving behind only the bare stone floor and tomb walls.
Next room!
Adam didn’t dilly-dally, immediately rushing toward the next chamber.
Deep inside the Saint’s Tomb.
Aaron Solar and the others were enveloped in azure-black mist, visibility was extremely low.
Even their divine abilities couldn’t disperse this fog. Furthermore, this grand formation was bizarre to the extreme.
There were originally nine of them, but suddenly, a person had vanished, eithout the slightest sound.
Moreover, continuous, chilling screams drifted out from within the mist.
Everyone’s faces were solemn.
They hadn’t expected a deadly trap array waiting inside.
"Elder Aaron, what should we do now?" Alice Bloom asked, her delicate brows knitted tightly.
"It’s too late to retreat, ee must find the formation core and break this formation!" Aaron said in a deep voice.
"But where is the formation core?"
"Usually, the formation core will be in the center of the tomb. We can only move forward." Aaron took a deep breath.
Everyone’s hearts jolted, but there was no better option.
"That’s the only way. Dao Child, stay close to me. Hmm? Dao Child? Dao Child, where are you?!" Aaron turned abruptly, his pupils contracting violently.
The Dao Child who had been right behind him had vanished into thin air.
!!!
Hiss!
Everyone drew in a sharp breath of cold air.
Terror spread from the depths of their hearts.
That was a Dao Child.
He might have been the strongest individual among their group. Yet he had vanished so suddenly, and his life or death completely unknown.
"We must break the grand formation quickly, otherwise we don’t know who will vanish next!"
Aaron’s face was exceptionally ugly, how was he supposed to explain this to the clan?
"Everyone, hold hands! Do not let go! If anything happens, shout immediately!"
The crowd nodded, knowing this was their only hope for survival.
Outside the grand formation.
Adam finally placed the very last book into his storage bags.
They were wrapped tightly around his waist in a full circle, looking like ears of wheat after an autumn harvest.
Fruitful and abundant.
Looking back at the final tomb chamber, now completely empty, Adam felt an unparalleled sense of joy and overflowing satisfaction.
He took a step forward, preparing to slip away.
But in the next second, his vision blurred.
The familiar corridor vanished, and what appeared before him was a space filled with azure-black mist.
Adam’s expression froze.
What’s going on?
Golden light surfaced on his skin.
Indestructible Golden Body activated.
He had been abruptly pulled into this unknown space by a mysterious force.
No, it’s not unknown.
I was pulled into the grand formation!
Adam’s brows furrowed tightly as he vigilantly scanned his surroundings.
Something isn’t right.
Adam’s comprehension of formations had reached the pinnacle of perfection, generally speaking, a formation did not possess the ability to actively pull someone inside on its own.
Unless someone was controlling it.
But this was the ancient tomb of the Book Saint, a figure from the previous Heaven and Earth Upheaval era, who knew how much time had passed since then.
How could there still be someone controlling this grand formation?
Goosebumps broke out all over Adam’s body.
Is the Book Saint not dead?
How is that possible? Back then, the Book Saint had helped the Human Race quell a major demonic uprising but suffered critical injuries, his foundation of the Dao was irreparably damaged, which was why news of his death had spread.
