Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 669: Chapter 666 Restriction

Hearing this, the two figures paused and sighed, but they immediately obeyed the command.

As they charged out, Qingyi headed straight for the Sage’s Skull.

His speed exploded to extremity, yet after entering ten meters below the cave, he encountered an indescribable, astonishing force from the eleventh meter that suddenly struck!

It was not just resistance, Qingyi felt as if he had plunged into water, with tremendous pressure sweeping around him. He seemed to be in the midst of a storm. This oppressive force bombarded him and finally made Qingyi understand why the speed of the previous two had been so slow.

With difficulty, he pressed forward while resisting the pressure from all around. The consumption of his Dragon Power was incredibly fast, depleting about half in just this short period.

”How could there be such a great resistance? When I obtained that Sage’s Skull before, there wasn’t such a great force!”

Anxious in his mind, Qingyi looked back as he advanced, only to see that the Sect of the Battle God and Chang’an Mountain Gate had also joined the battlefield. People from the Nine Heavens Tower were continually spitting blood, some falling to the ground, never to make a sound again, clearly dead.

In this brief time, more than fifty of the over three hundred people from Nine Heavens Tower had already been lost.

At this rate, it wouldn’t take long for them all to be killed.

The Nine Heavens Tower had initially come with a thousand people. If three hundred were to die as of now, it would greatly impact the imminent final eruption.

”What should I do?”

Qingyi was conflicted internally; he didn’t want to give up. Though the pressure around him and the resistance ahead were immense, he could endure it. Given time, he would be able to acquire that Sage’s Skull.

But, it seemed that these three hundred people might all perish, and the time they could buy for him wouldn’t be much.

”Hold on a bit longer; if a hundred people die, we’ll immediately cease resistance,” Qingyi gritted his teeth, feeling a twinge of pain in his heart.

He was advancing at the fastest pace, while behind him, the continuous booms signaled the figures of the Nine Heavens Tower being struck down time and again, rejoining the fight if not dead, to block the attack.

Time seemed extremely slow at that moment; when the death toll of the Nine Heavens Tower neared a hundred, Qingyi finally reached three quarters of the distance.

After all, he was a Dragon God Realm Peak, and he had many more methods than the previous two individuals.

At that moment, feeling the shattering of the hundredth Lifeblood Crystal in his storage bag, Qingyi could no longer hold back, and turning his head, he roared, ”Everyone, stop blocking! Those who are not injured, come in!”

The remaining two hundred or so from Nine Heavens Tower could barely hold on any longer; hearing this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, avoiding the battle and rushing toward the Sage’s Skull.

Other forces, such as the Sect of the War God, Ji Family, and Divine Transformation Pavilion, without anything to restrain them, no longer pursued the people of Nine Heavens Tower and surged into the cave all at once.

The great resistance and pressure attacked from all around and ahead, causing everyone’s expressions to change.

Ji Mingkong pulled out a pair of Low-Grade Holy Spirit Level boots, slightly increasing his speed, but just slightly.

These boots, which originally doubled the speed, were now much less effective.

Han Yiming swung his palm, and a golden Great Cauldron appeared, featuring three legs shimmering with the light of Mid-Grade Holy Spirit Level on them.

At that moment, the Great Cauldron enveloped him, speeding up as it headed straight for the Sage’s Skull.

As for the others, each was deploying their own methods to move as quickly as possible.

Qingyi, however, had taken the lead early on and was now moving towards one-quarter of the distance.

Seeing everyone rushing forward, Liuyun grew anxious again.

”Sect Master, it seems there is a great resistance inside, totally different from when we obtained the first Sage’s Skull. We have already delayed a lot, and if we do not enter now, we will completely lose our chance!”

Shangguan Mingxin pulled at him once more, but this time Liuyun would not listen.

”Is the Sect Master planning to wait for them to retrieve the Sage’s Skull and then snatch it away?”

”That method is indeed good and saves us effort, but the key issue is these rascals; each has extremely strong life-saving methods. Just like the previous Wang Mu, if they decide to flee, we likely won’t be able to stop them!”

”Sect Master, I suggest we go in and compete for it now. Even if we truly cannot seize it, we won’t leave regrets. If someone else gets it, we can just snatch it from them then.”

Liuyun, frantic like an ant on a hot pan, kept pacing in front of Su Han, causing Su Han, who had his eyes closed, to finally open them.

”What’s the rush?” asked Su Han with a smile.

”How can I not be anxious!”

Liuyun wrung his hands: ”If I don’t get anxious now, the Sage’s Skull will be snatched away by them! These guys, each one belongs to either the Thirteen Families or a Super Sect, and even the Chang’an Mountain Gate is comparable to the Thirteen Families. If they get their hands on it, it will be hard for us to snatch it away later!”

”Most importantly, this Map Bone was obtained by us through enormous hardship, so why should we be making wedding dresses for others? This was activated by us!”

”Sit down first.”

Su Han waved his hand and smiled: ”No need to worry, I have my plans.”

”What plans do you have, Sect Master?” asked Liuyun.

Su Han pondered for a moment, pointed towards the cave ahead, and spoke lightly: ”This place is mysterious, different from the first Sage’s Skull we obtained. Just now, I examined it with a special method. Not only is there strong resistance and pressure, but there are also some restrictions. Even if they have reached the front of the Sage’s Skull, they probably cannot get it immediately.”

”Restrictions?”

Liuyun’s eyes lit up, then he spoke with confusion: ”Sect Master is wise, perhaps I was a bit too anxious. However, I do not understand why when we obtained the first Sage’s Skull, there were no restrictions or resistance, but here there are?”

”Very simple.”

Su Han smiled slightly: ”Because here, there is not only a Sage’s Skull.”

”You mean...” Liuyun’s eyes brightened, and the others gasped, seemingly realizing something.

”This Sage’s Bones must not have died naturally, but rather likely suffered extremely severe injuries or died of old age,” explained Su Han. ”Thus, before his death, he set up restrictions and resistance. These restrictions and resistance when set up, must have been extremely strong, but with time passing, after countless years, they have been worn down a lot by the years. Do you think I was waiting? Not really, I was refining a Rune to unlock those restrictions and eliminate the resistance.”
