Chapter 100 - The Fourth Level

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

With Leonard’s introduction, Romo nodded at each of them to express his goodwill. As for whether the names Leonard had said were true, Romo did not know. After all, they were all strangers who had just met by chance. It was not certain if they would be friends or enemies later. Therefore, these names were meaningless. They were just temporary code names.

Then, they chatted about the situation here. Romo learned that it had been Leonard and Edward who had found this place in the beginning. After exploring it, they realized that with their strength, they were unable to fully open the barrier here. Hence, they returned and found the other three to team up and come here. However, despite the five of them, they were still blocked by the barrier to the fourth level. Leonard said, “Brother Romo, have you been here before?”

Romo said, “I was here once, but I left empty-handed.”

Leonard said, “Then I won’t have to go into details. We have already studied this barrier just now. There is no way to neutralize it from the outside. It seems that the only way now is to forcefully break it from the outside. We have already tried this earlier. We were just a little short despite attacking it with all our might. Now, together with Brother Romo, we should be able to break open this barrier. After breaking the formation, we will distribute the treasures found inside according to our cultivation levels. Brother Romo, what do you think of this?”

“Sure, this is fine.” Romo nodded. He approved of the distribution plan.

“Alright, let’s start now.” The others had no objections. Then, the six of them stood in front of the barrier and activated their magical power together. There was no need for any spell; they just had to use magical power to bombard the barrier in front of them.

Boom!

Instantly, six powerful magical powers charged crazily at the transparent barrier. This barrier was really powerful. Anyone among the six could easily destroy a mountain with his attack, but now, the six of them had attacked the barrier together and actually failed to break open the barrier. It could be seen how powerful the barrier was. The barrier was flowing with brilliant colors, and mysterious magical runes kept appearing on it to resist their attacks. Their magical power attacks formed huge shockwaves. These shockwaves hit the stone walls beside them. The stone walls could not even withstand them. Several walls collapsed from the shockwaves, but only this barrier remained unbreakable.

“This won’t do. We can’t attack separately. We have to attack a point together. This way, at least a hole can be opened. Everyone, attack this point of mine.” Seeing that the six of them were unable to break the barrier, Leonard immediately thought of a solution and said loudly.

When the others heard this, they all felt that it made sense, so they all placed the point of attack at the spot where Leonard was attacking. This time, it was indeed effective. The magical power shockwaves from the six of them had converged, constantly sapping the energy on the barrier, especially at the spot of the attack. Several of the moving magic runes had even been shattered, and the entire magical barrier was rippling like water. This was obviously a sign that it was about to be broken.

“Everyone, work harder. It’s about to break open,” Leonard immediately shouted. He had also increased the output of his magical power. When the others saw this, they also increased theirs. The six of them were basically exerting their magical power with all their might. Even so, they had to bombard the barrier for two hours before a large hole was blasted open.

Hu ~ ~

The six of them heaved a sigh of relief. They had not expected that even with the addition of one person, it would still be so difficult to break this barrier, especially Romo. He had thought that now that he was at the peak of the Great Archmage realm, he could do whatever he wanted here. Now, it seemed that this was not the case at all. If he had not teamed up with these five, he would not even be able to open this barrier, and would have to return empty-handed.

After the barrier had been breached, all of them did not enter immediately. After all, just a barrier blocking the door was already so powerful. There might be an even more powerful attack formation inside. If they were to enter and fall into another formation, they would die. Therefore, the six of them used their mental strength to extend in and explore. However, what shocked them was that when their mental strength entered, they encountered an extremely great resistance. They could not enter further, so they could not detect what was going on inside.

The six of them looked at each other, not knowing what to do next. Should they enter directly? What if there was really an attack formation inside, they might die. But when they were still hesitating, they were shocked to see that the barrier, which had been broken, was actually recovering slowly. It could be estimated that in less than ten seconds, the barrier would be fully restored. Then, their two hours of bombardment with magical power would have been in vain.

“Oh no, the barrier is about to be restored. We have to enter immediately,” Leonard immediately alerted everyone loudly when he saw the situation. They did not want to spend another two hours and expend infinite amounts of magical power to bombard it again. Furthermore, the more dangerous it was inside, the better the treasures inside. Their trip this time would definitely not be in vain. The few of them looked at each other and then decisively chose to enter, especially Romo. The body he had currently had was given by the System, and the time was almost up. Even if he were to leave his physical body here, he would not die. He would only be returning to the ancestral hall, so he was not afraid at all. He strode directly into the fourth level. Seeing this, the others immediately followed.

After they had entered the fourth level, the barrier behind them was restored to normal. Leonard attacked it and found that there was no effect. If they wanted to get out, they would have to do the same as when they had entered. The six of them would have to blast for two hours to open a hole, or perhaps, there could be another way out of here. Everyone was amazed by the power of the formation. What items were such a powerful formation protecting?

They sensed for a moment and could feel that their surroundings were filled with a cold and deadly still aura. They were all of the Great Archmage realm. As long as they had magical power to protect them, they would not feel anything even if the temperature was -10°C low. But now, they could feel a cold chill penetrating directly through their bodies and into their souls. Everyone could not help but shiver. With the invasion of the cold, even their magical power became difficult to circulate. Everyone knew that this was definitely not a normal phenomenon, so everyone was on full alert as they checked out their surroundings..
