204: Chapter 169.5 : The Swamp

Chapter 169.5 : The Swamp

With the gates fully opened and the tomb at their sight, nothing was stopping the large crowd from venturing in. However, no one had the guts to move first as they were impatiently waiting for the big factions to enter first. No one dared to offend these powers so all they could do is begrudgingly wait for the 'strong' to enter first.1

What made them helpless is that the first ones have a big advantage as they would seize the good treasures and only leave the trash. Some people were content with this whilst others were secretly unhappy, but they still bore with it.

Soon enough, the youth who came out from the chariot headed towards the gate and entered the tomb with his sister, who curiously followed him.

The juniors from the three big factions soon followed with Cold Sword going in last after throwing a piercing glare towards the middle-aged man, Kang Amidel.

Arthur was amongst the group of rogue cultivators, which entered right after Cold Sword went in. The big crowd flew towards the lush forest with both excitement and wariness. He spread his Sixth Sense in all directions and raised his alertness to its maximum. He doesn't know what may lurk inside, and despite having a strength equivalent to a Peak God, more or less, he should never be overconfident and underestimate this tomb.

His target was the Spatial Master, who secretly followed Kai Min without anyone realizing it. The big crowd soon dispersed in all directions when they entered the small Realm. The atmosphere was fresh and relaxing, contrary to how an ancient tomb should be.

Since he needed to find Kai Min's group, which belonged to the Water Cloud Sect. The figure of the young man he was currently possessing turned increasingly blurry until it vanished. He used his movement technique to venture deep into the forest for he knew that a big power like the Water Cloud Sect won't scavenge meager treasures but instead, would try to aim for the big fish.

It is widely known that the tomb contained many mysterious treasures and ancient relics, one of them is the Physique Manuel, which is a priceless thing coveted by many, even in a Medium-Realm such as the Green Leaf Realm.

With [Sneak] still activated and a few other passives, Arthur's aura was almost nonexistent as he dived into the ground to gain more terrain and wider space for his search. Once he reached a certain point inside the forest, different kinds of beasts started appearing. First, there were a large amount of Spirit Beasts which were mostly venomous or carnivorous plants.

Beasts that broke through to the Spirit Realm have different ranks, they are Spirit beasts, Heavenly Beasts, Deity Beasts, Immortal Beasts, Divine Beasts, and God Beasts.

The Spirit Beasts he encountered didn't sense him and continued hiding in their nests, waiting for a prey to come. Approximately half an hour after he entered the small realm, he was forced to stop many and this was one of them. His body emerged from the ground followed right after by a thick black vine which had insane speed.

Arthur waved a hand, creating a big wave of dark red fire which burned everything it met. The black vine was turned into cinders immediately, even the hard earth was scorched black. The beasts which attacked Arthur from underground shrieked loudly from the pain, alas, it couldn't escape its fate as the flames burned its vine and continued to scorch the remaining of its body.

'This is the ninth Divine beast... I suppose it's not as dangerous as I had predicted.'

The soon to be dead plant that was attacking him was a venomous Divine plant which can match Divine beings, it is by no means weak but again Ancient Fire at its full intensity, it's obvious that it'll not survive as even a God would suffer if he were to receive a full head-on blow from such a fire, on condition that he did not wear a powerful protective armor, that is.

Logically, Kai Min wouldn't be able to venture this by only relying on his strength, however, this wasn't the case as he had the protection of a powerful Spatial Master and their goal is most likely the center of the tomb, where the manual is, at least that's what Arthur speculated.

His figure blurred again as he took a step forward and advanced at an extremely rapid pace. In terms of speed alone, he would be at the peak of all Gods, if he wants to escape, not even three peak Gods would be able to stop him. As he was bypassing monsters, Arthur's map caught sight of a mid-sized group of people. He silently got closer to them without the latter noticing him and was delighted to see familiar faces, faces that he wanted to see. It was actually the people under Elo Huo, the boy from the academy.

Arthur's plan was to use his people, mainly, the two gods who will join him later, to stir trouble with the Water Cloud sect. If his plan is successful and smooth, then taking down that Spatial Master is an already foregone conclusion.
