Caroline, Violet, the gnome, and the others hurriedly rushed towards Austin.
The Pot of Chaos had now turned into a huge tripod and was floating above their heads like a magical umbrella. Its size had increased and it was now wide enough to protect everyone.
From the void above the tomb, as if a silver waterfall was flowing down towards them, countless bolts of lightning emanated and began to strike the pot. Sparks flew in all directions as the Pot of Chaos shielded them from its effects, acting like a lightning rod.
The Pot of Chaos had been forged of chaotic gold, which was an extremely powerful element.
The most well-known features of chaotic gold were its weight and strength. It could withstand terrifying amounts of strikes without the slightest bit of damage.
Although the lightning struck the Pot of Chaos thousands of times, and from all possible angles, it wasn't damaged at all.
With the Pot of Chaos floating above them and moving with their position, Austin and his companions quickly climbed towards the top of the tomb.
They weren't the only ones. Numerous other disciples and followers also had advanced secret weapons in their arsenal, which were now suspended above their heads and easily blocking the thunder. The sight would have been hauntingly beautiful if it weren't deadly.
However, there were also some disciples whose weapons and shields were less powerful. Their shields would constantly explode into pieces under the struck of lightning.
And once their weapon was gone, they would then be sent flying out of the area by the falling thunder.
Austin and his group finally managed to reach the top of the tomb a few moments later and saw a strange sight.
Where there should have been the most of it, there was no lightning on the top of the tomb.
Instead, there was a wide platform at the very top, and in the middle of it was an altar.
On the altar, was placed a coffin which, from the looks of it, belonged to someone very special.
Three balls of a radiant light were floating next to the coffin, and shining with a crystal clear glow. They seemed to contain something inside them, but the cultivators couldn't see through them clearly. In fact, even perceiving the balls with their spiritual sense was impossible.
"They must contain the inheritance of the red demonic mouse!"
someone exclaimed in surprise.
Besides Austin and his companions, now the rest of the group also managed to climb onto the platform. They all stood still for a while because they knew rushing headlong into the unknown wasn't a very wise decision.
Hundreds of people now surrounded the altar on the platform.
They were all looking eagerly at the three light balls and the coffin. Their breaths had become heavy by the thought of such a fortune within their grasp.
The treasures left here by the red demonic mouse, one of the ten ancient chaotic creatures of this world, was most certainly not ordinary.
Each of the items they could find here and get their hands on would be worth a king's ransom.
"Ha-ha, they are all mine. No one can take them away from me!
And if you try to do that, don't blame me for what happens next!"
A tall man with a large sword on his back roared with laughter at the sight.
He was a seeded disciple of the Black Tortoise School, and his name was Pope. He had been practicing a highly powerful blade skill for the last few years and it had lent him a very domineering personality.
At least a hundred disciples had lost their lives to him in today's trial.
With a ringing laughter, Pope rushed towards the center of the altar like a ferocious dragon.
"You wish, Pope!"
The rest of the seeded disciples, unwilling to be left behind, also rushed behind him. They weren't about to just let him have it all.
Bang!
Pope, who was at the forefront of this onslaught, was suddenly hit by a huge and invisible force, and was thrown backward.
Bang! Bang! Bang
After him, the others also found themselves flying into the air and falling down several feet away.
The students at the end of the line stopped as soon as they saw this terrible scene.
"Look out! Some sort of invisible array is protecting the treasure!"
someone warned.
Sure enough, on being disturbed, the energy field of the array burst out and began to shine brightly. An array with an ancient aura morphed into existence right in front of everyone.
