C169

Lu Chen was thinking about when the illusions he arranged in the Rubble Forest would be discovered and even the contents within them would be spread out.

He did not see that the Phantom Beast at the side had already returned to its senses from its fantasy. Its green eyes shone with malice and its small mouth laughed sinisterly. It looked extremely evil.

At this moment, the Phantom Beast's mind was not here, but in the distant Rubble Forest. As long as it was an illusion created by a Phantom Beast, it could control it no matter where it was or how far it was.

It was currently like this. In the distant Rubble Forest, there was still that cliff, towering into the clouds, causing people to feel intimidated just by looking at it. The densely packed caves on top of it caused goosebumps to appear on one's skin.

However, in such a place, there was such a peculiar sight. A waterfall from a cliff. It was not always possible to see it. One had to be lucky to see it.

And this place was especially safe, becoming a rarely seen safe zone within the Rubble Forest. At this moment, three groups of people came here to set up their camp.

There was a distance between them, and they were all on guard against each other. Even their companions were on guard against each other.

Amidst the quiet and strange atmosphere, all of them took care of their own business, not interfering with each other. However, very quickly, the peaceful atmosphere was broken because the Phantom Beast had made her move.

"Buzz ~ ~ ~"

"Rumble ~ ~ ~ ~"

A deafening explosion rang out, and at the moment the night arrived, this sound broke the silent night sky, like a bolt of lightning breaking the tranquility of the area.

Everyone's eyes looked in the direction the sound came from and discovered that it was a waterfall formed by an underground river rushing out of a cliff. The sound of the water really made those who saw it feel astonished.

It was so beautiful, so spectacular, that only Rubble Forest could witness such a wondrous sight.

That's right, this place is so special. With such a scenery, there won't be any other Demonic Beast disturbing us.

It was a fascinating view of the night.

At this moment, everyone below the cliff looked towards the waterfall. Even their vigilance had lowered by quite a bit. However, this didn't mean that they weren't vigilant at all.

They were still maintaining a wisp of consciousness as they constantly observed the people behind them, in case they needed something.

However, this time, they were destined to not be able to leave any trace of intelligence, because a change had suddenly occurred in this massive waterfall.

Energy vibrated, forming ripples. As they spread out, there was no sound at all. Even the insects stopped breathing, and even the leaves in the surroundings became still.

In that instant, it was as if an eternity had passed, and after this energy vibrated, a gigantic stone tablet was ejected out from the cave that was unceasingly spewing streams of water.

Boom — —

After a loud explosion, a loud explosion shook the area. Everyone felt their scalps go numb, and the thunder-like explosion shocked everyone present.

What is this?

Heavens, this is a huge stone monument. Why would there be a stone monument rushing out from that place?

So scary, there was something strange going on inside, even the people that went in wouldn't be able to come out.

This was a terrifying scene. The massive pressure was simply too shocking. At this moment, everyone present was as quiet as a chicken, their eyes as round as a bird's.

Everyone was afraid of the unknown. They didn't know what was going on, so they all became cautious. However, because they were controlled by the huge pressure, they couldn't move. They could only watch the situation unfold.

The gigantic stone tablet descended from the sky along with the waterfall. It should have slammed into the ground at top speed, causing rumbling sounds. With it being so close, it was possible that a few people died in the process of shattering the stone tablet.

However, none of these things happened. The strange thing was that the stone tablet actually floated in the air after rushing out of the cave.

Waves of energy ripples began to appear around the stone tablet, and at the same time, the pressure from the pain became even more terrifying.

The air in the surroundings was frozen, even breathing was difficult. It could be said that at this moment, no one could move even a single strand of hair.

Boom — —

The terrifying, thunderous boom continued to ring out. After a while, a dazzling light shot out from the stone monument, forming a line of eye-catching words.

At the very least, it was exceptionally eye-catching in the dark night. The dazzling light was extremely eye-catching in the night sky, making it hard for people to even think about it.

Although they couldn't say anything, they were all praying to themselves for the Second Prince's Heaven's Mandate! The appearance of this line of words was truly shocking.

The shock in the hearts of everyone present could no longer be described with words. They had come here to explore the mountains, so how could they have witnessed such a terrifying scene?

[What the hell is going on?] How terrifying!

This content, it really was … Too terrifying. If others were to find out, would we still be alive?

If he survived, he would definitely spread the news and seek refuge in the Second Prince. After all, this was Heaven's Mandate, so there were no other people or Demonic Beast around him, nor were there any unfamiliar auras.

At this moment, in the face of such a miraculous scene, everyone's eyes were focused on her. The enormous pressure made it impossible for them to move.

But no matter what they did, they couldn't help but want to observe this mystical scene. As time passed, the words on the stone tablet began to glow with a golden light. This golden light became brighter and brighter, more and more dazzling.

The stone tablet itself also slowly began to expand and change its shape. It was like a balloon that was being inflated, slowly growing bigger. Finally, the stone tablet expanded to an exaggerated level.

The range of the golden light also started to expand, enveloping everyone present. None of them could see clearly what was happening around them, and all they could see was the piercing golden light.

Boom — —

With a loud explosion, the stone tablet expanded to its final moments, the words and golden light instantly disappearing from the surface of the stone tablet.

The shockwave from the explosion was like countless knives scraping against one's skin. The tearing pain spread to the deepest part of his body, but he could not smell the smell of blood.

Everything within the terrifying aura became blurry, and everyone's vision became blurry. Everyone felt as if everything in front of them was a vast expanse of whiteness, and then they could no longer see anything clearly.

Light filled the surroundings with a piercing golden light. Everyone was confused, but the words formed from light in their hearts couldn't be ignored or forgotten.

It was unknown how much time had passed. When they finally adapted to the environment and were able to see again, the mysterious scene in front of them had completely disappeared. It was as if the wind had blown past and left no trace behind.

Moving their bodies, they discovered that their muscles were extremely stiff and sore. They didn't know how long they had maintained this posture for.

The stone tablet disappeared, the waterfall disappeared, and the night once again enveloped the earth.
