Chapter 178
Alice and the other two furrowed their brows tightly, they never expected Aaron to meet such a tragic end.
"Spacing out again?! Can’t you see the enemy is charging up another ultimate move? Attack quickly!" Adam really wanted to slap these three across the face, after yelling, his heaven-shaking sword qi slashed toward the one-armed human skin.
But the head of the human skin suddenly peeled wide open.
The entire head peeled open, revealing a massive hole.
Then, like a whale inhaling water, the old man sucked all the azure-black mist filling the sky into his body, and his form rapidly ballooned, even the sword qi was deflected.
Adam frowned, what kind of monster is this? Fighting one battle and leveling up twice?
The divine abilities of the other three bombarded the old man one after another, however, just like the sword qi, they were all bounced off.
As he continued inhaling, the pitch-black mist grew thinner and thinner. Finally, it was completely sucked into his body.
Without the mist, Adam and the others could finally see the tomb chamber clearly.
The floor was made of azure-black stone slabs, and the circular walls were black-grey, but traces of blood were dripping down the walls like rain, nearly dyeing them a dark, bloody red.
The four of them looked up toward the ceiling, every single one of their pupils quaked violently, their faces turning uglier than the last.
Because on the ceiling, densely packed together, were corpses, they had been viciously nailed up using bamboo slips, their eyes were wide open, as if about to tear at the corners, and blood flowed like rivers.
These corpses were the cultivators who had charged in from outside, their strength was too low.
The moment the grand formation activated, they had immediately become the old man’s prey.
Hiss! Adam drew in a sharp breath and lowered his head, this was his first time seeing such a scene, the level of gore and terror was maxed out.
However, since he was playing the role of the strongest senior, he couldn’t show fear.
The others weren’t doing much better, even the military general, who had ridden across battlefields for years, was seeing this for the first time.
To think bamboo slips, items so deeply imbued with scholarly elegance, would be used for such a horrifying purpose.
Adam slashed out several streams of sword qi, snapping them out of their daze.
They began pulling out their ultimate trump cards, desperate to kill the old man, but his body was like a rubber ball, no matter what hit it, everything was deflected.
Finally, the old man inhaled the last breath of azure-black gas, his strength surged upward by another massive margin.
He had broken through to the Heaven and Earth Deity realm, he was even much stronger than the Demonic Sect Master. However, he wasn’t a true Deity, it was some alternative method of elevation.
Adam frowned, hiding my strength will be difficult now, couldn’t these three be a bit stronger?
"Stop hiding your strength! Pull out whatever trump cards you have!" Alice shouted, then turned to Adam.
"Senior, we will do our best to suppress him! I beg Senior to go all out, otherwise we will all die here!" Alice pleaded.
From the beginning, Adam had only been using two fingers as a sword to shoot out sword qi, anyone who wasn’t stupid could tell he wasn’t using his true strength.
"Alright!" Adam nodded, since they had seen through it, there was no helping it.
Alice and the other two began executing their ultimate trump cards.
The opponent’s aura had broken through to the Deity realm, holding back now would truly get them killed.
But suddenly, an exceptionally terrifying aura birthed behind the three of them, then, in the very next second, they watched as the old man’s body was violently shredded, sliced into countless tiny pieces, not even a palm-sized piece of skin remained.
!!!
The three of them opened their mouths so wide they couldn’t possibly open them further.
What’s going on?
Countless shreds of human skin slowly fluttered to the ground, like scraps of torn paper.
The old man who had been fiercely alive just moments ago now lay dead silent on the ground.
Their minds went completely blank.
Senior, if you were this strong, you should have struck earlier! Was there really a need to play around with us for so long?!
Adam stared at the shattered human skin on the floor, his brows furrowed tightly, something wasn’t right.
It was extremely strange.
The human skin’s strength was formidable and it possessed bizarre abilities. It alone had slaughtered countless cultivators and many Mortal Supremes.
But compared to him, it was still vastly inferior.
It absolutely did not possess the strength to forcibly drag him into this grand formation.
"Senior, thank you for saving our lives!" Alice and the other two walked over, bowing deeply and cupping their fists in salute.
However, they noticed Adam’s expression remained incredibly grim.
He had clearly just eliminated the great enemy, the mist had vanished as well.
The threat should have been entirely neutralized.
"I was forcibly dragged into this grand formation!" Adam swept his gaze over the surroundings and spoke indifferently.
The trio froze, not immediately grasping his meaning, but in the next second, their pupils violently contracted, and the hairs on their bodies stood on end.
The implication was utterly terrifying.
Given Senior’s strength, this human skin definitely did not have the capability to pull him into the formation, that meant the one who dragged Senior into the formation was someone else, and their strength was unimaginable.
"S-Senior... what should we do now?" Alice pressed closer to Adam, her face stricken with panic.
Adam was just about to speak.
Suddenly, the Dao platform beneath their feet flared with azure light.
The group’s bodies stiffened, and they immediately leaped into the air, attempting to evade the azure light below.
But the azure light was far too fast, instantly enveloping all four of them.
