Chapter 952: Chapter 116: Traveller, Awakening_3

After shattering a layer of stone dust, the “black gemstone” embedded in the forehead of the divine statue began to flow rapidly with a pitch-black light——

“Boom!”

After twenty years of silence, the traveller’s robe was covered in dust. With one vibration, the dust scattered and spread in all directions!

Using this statue as a bridge, the traveller’s power began to resurge.

The black gemstone, harboring the spiritual poison, after a “long” charge, shimmered with a glow and began to spew intense light!

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The stone walls of the temple were blasted apart, debris flying everywhere!

At the moment the extreme light spewed out, Gu Shen and Mu Wanqiu simultaneously leapt away from the base of the statue!

Both of them were exceedingly sharp spiritual talents, sensing the danger immediately… The extreme light spewed from the statue was terrifyingly powerful, akin to a strong logical bomb, capable of piercing through the body if hit directly.

In this situation, both displayed exquisite dodging maneuvers.

Gu Shen, in the dark hall with the pitch-black light swirling around, moved at high frequency, the strands of extreme light grazing past him repeatedly, like the overdraft battle with Meng Xiao, he had only recovered slightly.

He was still in a period of weakness, and appeared somewhat battered.

In stark contrast, Mu Wanqiu’s aura was fully restored; she was like a nimble butterfly weaving through flowers, dodging the light beams while circling the giant statue… She intended to circle around and “restore the statue to its original position”!

At this moment, the traveller’s plot during the construction of the Netherworld Palace was revealed. The stone walls engraved with ancient scripts were not sturdy, easily penetrated by the light beams… the ancient scripts fluttered, opening portal after portal!

The dark main hall illuminated with one streak of pitch-black light after another.

Portal after portal shattered amidst tremors…

“Watch out!”

Gu Shen shouted, “Seize the fire!”

Those Holy Judges, left in the temple by the Netherworld King, originally carried resentment and lingered in the void, but sensing the “living” presence amid this mutation, they fell out of the portals…

Mu Wanqiu’s reaction was swift, a gigantic snow-white ghostly silhouette appeared behind her.

The Judge’s eyes glared angrily, raising Chi Huo high above with one hand while grabbing a fast-moving skeleton and hurling it heavily!

“Boom!”

The emaciated Holy Judge, reduced to bare bones, had no time to wail before being thrust into the wall by immense force, sent to another portal’s world.

However, they were the “Undead” created by the Netherworld King…

Their bodies already shattered, leaving only a trace of resentment.

This level of attack couldn’t kill them.

After the Judge unleashed Chi Huo, those lunging Holy Judges instantly lost their target, once again becoming aimless wandering spirits, but terrifyingly…

“Whoosh!”

A streak of extreme light from the black gemstone pierced through a Holy Judge’s chest.

The fallen skeleton never stood again; even the inextinguishable resentment in its chest was shot and dissipated!

Seeing this, Gu Shen was further convinced the traveller was no ally, fully aware of the Netherworld King’s capabilities, planting such a ploy during the construction of the Netherworld Palace.

If the Netherworld King had not been chased out of the Five Continents, forced to abandon the Nether River, but had truly cultivated his own “Undead Army” here.

Then, after the breach, the traveller would have acted, opening all the portals in the Netherworld Palace.

And then slaughter the entire undead army within the Netherworld Palace!

The towering statue, spewing pitch-black holy light, frantically swept through the temple’s undead…

Mu Wanqiu and Gu Shen, in turn, evaded the pitch-black light.

Gu Shen discerned this North Continent female madwoman’s intentions; she wanted to reset the statue!

With a deep sound, it was as if a drum was struck!

Mu Wanqiu, like an agile butterfly, swiftly maneuvered, then suddenly stopped, driving a heavy blade into the statue’s robe, earth and stone flying, the Judge’s energy sinking into the dantian, gripping the hilt tightly, seemingly trying to use it as leverage to send the door back into the darkness…

“Crack, crack, crack…”

Unfortunately, only the sharp sound of shattered stone was heard.

The 1.2-meter war blade was embedded to the hilt in the statue’s robe, and as it slightly turned, the hundred-meter-high monolithic door emitted only a faint movement sound, then stopped moving.

The hands tightly gripping the hilt, the Judge roared with exertion, the massive power transferred, yet the portal remained motionless, but the war blade shattered instantly!

Initially, opening this door was effortlessly simple.

But closing it became a thousand times harder.

Mu Wanqiu wore a grim expression, but she didn’t retreat an inch.

After the blade snapped, she placed both hands on the great door, twisting her waist and lifting her pelvis, with the Judge’s hands overlapping hers, the great door emitted a deep rumble…

She was truly using her own strength to move the statue’s door!

“Madwoman…”

Gu Shen witnessed this, astonished by Mu Wanqiu’s monstrous strength, even more so by her madness!

In such a situation, a normal person would think of escaping the temple…

But Mu Wanqiu’s initial thought was, whoever dares to challenge me, I’ll crush them!

When Gu Shen realized something was wrong with the statue, he was already contemplating the next move, though he hadn’t anticipated the sudden aggression of the statue, but he pondered… this Netherworld Palace should have an exit!

These extreme lights, seemingly erratic… filled the entire hall but must abide by one rule.

Not to destroy the exit.

Gu Shen’s gaze rapidly scanned the entire hall, attempting to locate a “portal” that wasn’t covered by the trajectory of the extreme light, but the moment he glimpsed the statue, his mind went blank.

Mu Wanqiu was moving the door, the constant deep rumbling emanating from beneath the statue.

But in fact…

That wasn’t the sound of moving the door!

The “Divine Statue”, which had been dead for so long, was coming back to life!

The hundred-meter tall “traveller” truly revived, and the sound was actually it shaking its robe!

Gu Shen saw… the layer of black veils of stone dust fell from the face of the deathly still statue, revealing a cold and indifferent face.

Eyes cold to the extreme, looking down, locked onto the overconfident human woman trying to move it.
