CHAPTER 157: CHAPTER 156 LOST ERA
Successfully breaking into the ancient tomb, He Dongsheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
In recent days, he had followed his master, Mu Chunqiu, to many tombs and witnessed numerous historical legends, but none of the tombs’ dangers could compare with today.
Actually, when he saw those spirits, He Dongsheng felt a faint regret over his decision.
But he ultimately couldn’t abandon his master to escape alone, so he steeled himself and charged into the tomb alongside.
After a brief rest, everyone continued deeper into the tomb along the path.
With robotic dogs exploring ahead for traps and professional instruments constantly measuring the surrounding air changes, even if a trap like a falling stone blocked the way, a bomb could easily resolve it all.
The entire tomb exploration proceeded far more smoothly than everyone expected, seemingly as the spirits said, there was no danger like spirits within the tomb.
Finally, after progressing for a while, the group reached the interior of the Beimang Tomb, where the surrounding environment began to change.
Inside the tomb, bronze stairs spiraled upward, and the edges of the steps were carved with twisted beast faces, spewing eternal ghostly flames from their gaping mouths.
The firelight flickered in the darkness, projecting the ancient reliefs onto the stone walls, countless shadows swaying and dancing as if reenacting some long-forgotten sacrificial ritual.
The logistics team quickly began analyzing the ghostly flames from the beast mouths, the composition of the bronze steps, and adjusted the cameras to transmit images from within the Beimang Tomb back to the camp, where numerous experts and scholars began analyzing the architectural style of the tomb.
Moments later, analysis reports were compiled and presented to the representatives of the major forces.
"Doesn’t belong to any dynasty?"
This news shocked all the forces, prompting a representative of a major force to speak up:
"Is there a possibility of forgery?"
Experts and scholars categorically denied:
"Absolutely impossible! Although these buildings, mural styles, and stone carvings do not belong to any dynasty we know of, one can see that their style forms its own system.
This kind of system often requires hundreds of years of accumulation to form, unless someone could single-handedly deduce an era’s artistic system, otherwise, it would be impossible to forge from nothing."
The research results clearly indicated to everyone that behind this tomb, there is likely a hidden powerful civilization built under a lost era and Spiritual Energy.
This has an irreplaceable huge contribution to the research of Spiritual Energy Revival!

Meanwhile, inside the Beimang Tomb, Mu Chunqiu brushed his palm over the mural in front of him, but his brow couldn’t help but furrow tightly.
He Dongsheng, keenly aware of this, asked:
"Master, is there a problem?"
Mu Chunqiu shook his head and replied softly:
"The style of this mural is not from any dynasty I know, and even the materials are not ones I’m familiar with. Some kind of cold aura permeates the rock, making it a luxury to determine the age of the mural through rock erosion.
All my archaeological methods seem to be failing here, a situation I’ve never encountered before, which instinctively makes me uneasy."
Upon hearing this, He Dongsheng immediately felt a tension in his heart.
After a brief pause, the logistics team began laying explosives according to the structure of their target, while the others continued exploring deeper into the tomb.
Finally, after bypassing several chambers, the group finally reached their destination.
The group stood outside the entrance, below lay an abyssal depth, with only a long bridge connecting across.
In the deepest part of the main chamber, twelve towering stone columns supported the dome, each wrapped with different mysterious creature reliefs.
Their eyes, made from unknown gemstones, sparkled with eerie light even in complete darkness, watching every visitor daring to set foot here, a pervasive, indescribable pressure filled the void.
Even the team entering felt a hint of tension, but clearly, the main chamber was the key point of this exploration, and they immediately began preparing in their respective roles to enter the main chamber.
To prevent the collapse of the long bridge, everyone specifically tied safety ropes, giving them a chance to survive, even if the bridge fell.
At this moment, the leader of the elite team suddenly announced:
"All archaeological personnel remain in place to oversee the safety ropes and scan the surrounding architecture."
This statement instantly stirred discontent among the archaeological personnel in the team.
Having explored to the outside of the main tomb but being barred from entering the main tomb meant that their achievements would surely be greatly diminished afterward.
However, the situation left no room for debate; after all, archaeological methods had failed after entering the tomb, leaving them unable to perform their roles effectively, naturally losing their chance to enter the main tomb.
The numerous archaeological members could only start scanning the architecture, with He Dongsheng and Mu Chunqiu being no exceptions.
Mu Chunqiu’s gaze fell on a mural in the main tomb, a hint of bewilderment flashed across his expression.
Curious, He Dongsheng moved over and said to Mu Chunqiu:
"Master, did you discover..."
He Dongsheng had just started speaking when Mu Chunqiu stopped him.
With his palm caressing the mural, feeling the ups and downs of the relief textures, Mu Chunqiu murmured:
"There are words on this mural!"
His palm reached the topmost section, and the textured script emerged in Mu Chunqiu’s hand, causing him to subconsciously read out a name.
"Chang Chun Skill"

The elite team explored across the long bridge to finally reach the interior of the chamber.
Here, a giant bronze coffin was floating in mid-air.
Above the chamber, an azure blue vortex reflected a strange brilliance.
The elite team’s ears received commands from the command center:
"Complete scanning the surrounding murals, and then immediately plant bombs and evacuate the tomb!"
The elite team dared not slack off and quickly began scanning the surrounding architecture.
And just at this time, an angry roar erupted from within the Beimang Forbidden Land.
"Blood God, you forced me to this!"
In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered, and the giant bronze coffin in the main chamber of the tomb emitted roaring sounds, as if some unknown entity was desperate to break free.
"Retreat! Quickly retreat!"
The elite team could only issue a warning when the bronze coffin shattered, with countless fragments easily piercing everyone who entered the main chamber.
Amid screams, a giant figure clothed in Profound Armor, etched with golden inscriptions all over, emerged from the coffin.
He looked at everyone present with angry eyes, his right hand grasped at the souls of the deceased within the main chamber, swallowing the wailing souls in one gulp.
Cameras on the ground clearly recorded the scene before them.
In the next moment, the giant took a step forward, and the originally three-meter-tall figure grew rapidly under the watch of the cameras, quickly breaking through the constraints of the tomb.
In the Beimang Forbidden Land, a gigantic figure, nearly a hundred meters tall, appeared in the world, visible even from Luocheng.
The next moment, the Blood God finally appeared in the Beimang Forbidden Land, speaking with a manic smile:
"The physical body pre-empts its emergence, the path to resurrection is a dead end, let’s see how you escape this time?"
With those words, eight hundred ghostly souls entered his body, and the youthful figure of demonic beauty also transformed into a towering ghost god of a hundred meters.
The two ghost gods confronted each other, captured in clear images by several cameras in Luocheng, once again spreading across the internet.
The whole network exploded with excitement!
