Chapter 5651
Finally, after passing through a misty area, a magnificent hall appeared before them.
Soaring into the clouds, the hall was imposing, as if it were the abode of an ancient deity.
The walls were constructed of massive stone blocks, each carved with exquisite patterns—mythical beasts, mysterious runes, and formations.
Kai and Liu Xue slowly approached the hall. The doors were tightly shut, covered with intricate runes and patterns, emanating a powerful restrictive force.
Kai carefully examined the runes on the doors, discovering a close connection to the runes they had encountered in the stone forest.
“It seems that to open this door, we need to break the runic restrictions,”
Kai said, closing his eyes again to deduce the runes’ mysteries in his mind.
Liu Xue stood quietly to the side, her gaze fixed on the doors, filled with anticipation and tension.
After arduous calculations and attempts, Kai finally found a way to break the runic restrictions.
He rapidly formed hand seals and chanted incantations, beams of light shooting from his hands towards the runes on the door.
As the light flickered, the runes began to change; the tightly connected lines loosened, and a powerful force surged from within the door.
“Now!” Kai shouted, pushing hard with both hands, and the door slowly opened.
An ancient and mysterious aura rushed out, as if transporting them to a completely new world.
The interior of the hall was spacious and bright, the floor paved with smooth marble, engraved with various mysterious patterns and runes.
Around the hall stood many enormous statues, each with a different form—some majestic and solemn, others enigmatic and unpredictable—as if guarding the secrets within.
In the center of the hall was a massive stone platform, upon which rested an ancient book radiating golden light.
Kai and Liu Xue slowly approached the platform, their gazes fixed intently on the ancient book. They could sense that this book contained endless mysteries and immense power.
“Could this be the legendary treasure of the Tianmen Mountain ruins?” Liu Xue said softly, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Kai nodded and said, “Very likely, but we still need to be careful. There might be other hidden dangers in this hall.”
Just as they were about to reach for the ancient book, a deep rumble suddenly echoed in the hall, and the ground began to tremble violently.
Immediately afterward, beams of black light shot out from all around the hall, converging to form a massive black vortex.
A powerful and malevolent aura emanated from the vortex, sending chills down everyone’s spines.
“Not good, danger!”
Kai shouted, quickly shielding Liu Xue behind him while simultaneously forming hand seals to prepare for the impending danger.
A figure slowly emerged from the black vortex—a mysterious man clad in a black robe, his face shrouded in a layer of black mist, obscuring his features.
“Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Tianmen Mountain ruins!”
The mysterious man’s voice was deep and hoarse, as if it came from hell.
Kai stared fearlessly at the mysterious man and said, “We came here by chance and have no ill intentions. However, we are determined to obtain the ancient book in this hall.”
The mysterious man sneered and said, “You think you can take this ancient book? You’re delusional! This ancient book is a treasure I’ve guarded for many years, and none of you will be able to take it away today!”
With that, the mysterious man waved his hands, and waves of black energy swept towards Kai and Liu Xue.
Kai quickly used his spiritual power to form a protective shield, protecting Liu Xue within it.
At the same time, he rapidly formed hand seals, and powerful streams of spiritual power shot out like arrows, colliding with the black energy waves.
“Boom!”
With a loud bang, the spiritual power and the black energy waves canceled each other out, bursting into a burst of intense light.
