203: Hope of living!

On a giant rock on the second level of the Heavenly Tomb, a black-armored figure sat cross-legged.

During this time, the black-armored figure, an energy body of the Heavenly Tomb who had once forgotten what time was, reconnected with time.

The confusion in his eyes had dissipated significantly, as if he was contemplating the meaning of existence.

"Time is up..."

At a certain moment, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and a white jade token appeared in his hand.

The next moment, the jade token was crushed.

A wisp of Soul Power vanished into space.

And just after he crushed the jade token, at the edge of the sky, a brilliant line connecting heaven and earth was rapidly spreading towards them.

"The Heavenly Tomb's energy great storm!"

Looking at the terrifying energy storm that swept across the entire world, the black-armored figure showed no fear in his eyes.

During this period, while counting time, he also thought about many things.

As someone who had passed away long ago, he felt that there was no point in him staying. This Heavenly Tomb, which had become a place where the strong preyed on the weak, was not suitable for the deceased to rest in peace.

The original Heavenly Tomb was indeed a resting place for the deceased, but now, the energy bodies within the Heavenly Tomb devoured each other.

It had long lost its former beauty.

"It's time for complete destruction..."

The black-armored figure stood up, not to flee, but to meet the energy storm.

At the same time, after the black-armored figure crushed the white jade token, Gu Fei, who was at the edge of the third level of the Heavenly Tomb, sensed something and stopped.

"Time really flies!"

"It seems I should go back to the second level!"

Gu Fei muttered to himself, then changed direction and walked towards the edge of the Heavenly Tomb's third level, arriving at the crystal wall shortly after... "Xun'er, it's great that you're alright!"

At the entrance of the Heavenly Tomb's third level, Gu Qingyang and Gu Yao were the first to escape here.

Upon seeing Xun'er had arrived here early, Gu Qingyang immediately let out a sigh of relief.

"Where is Young Master Gu Fei?"

Gu Yao's gaze swept around Xun'er, and he frowned, asking.

"That's right, wasn't Young Master Gu Fei with you?" Gu Qingyang also frowned.

Gu Fei was the most outstanding Genius of their Gu Clan, and absolutely could not encounter trouble in the Heavenly Tomb.

"I don't know. I guess Big Brother Gu Fei must have entered the third level!"

"However, the energy light barrier at this third level entrance has already solidified. I tried to break through it, but the speed was too slow!"

"Moreover, there are Ancient Devouring Worms inside that crystal wall. The places I cleared gradually closed up again due to the energy they spat out, so I had to retreat first!" Xun'er pointed to a pit in the crystal wall and slowly explained.

"Ancient Devouring Worms?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyang and Gu Yao frowned again. As members of the Gu Clan, they both knew about such things.

Ancient Devouring Worms were a type of small Demonic Beast that lived in ancient times.

They were extremely tiny in size, but their numbers were endless, and they could devour everything, then continuously secrete pure energy. This massive energy crystal wall was created by those little creatures.

"What should we do?"

"The energy great storm will reach here soon. If we don't enter the third level, we will all die here!"

Gu Yao and Gu Qingyang were in a difficult situation.

And then, Huo Zhi and Huo Xuan also arrived at this place.

Following them, eight people from the Lei Clan, Medicine Clan, Shi Clan, and Ling Clan arrived one after another.

"Never mind, even if there are Ancient Devouring Worms inside, there's still a glimmer of hope. If we stay here, it's a dead end!"

Gu Qingyang made a decision, intending to blast the energy crystal wall in front of them.

As his voice fell, the Dou Qi within Gu Qingyang and Gu Yao surged like a flood, finally transforming into exceptionally massive Dou Qi torrents that fiercely slammed into the solidified light barrier in front of them.

Even though the light barrier was extremely hard, it cracked under such an assault, and finally, with a 'crack,' a small pit, half a zhang wide and three or four meters high, appeared.

However, at this speed, it would probably take several days to break through a several-hundred-zhang-wide energy crystal wall, not to mention the extremely dangerous Ancient Devouring Worms inside.

"Where is Young Master Gu Fei? Why isn't he here?"

Although Huo Zhi and Xun'er did not have a good relationship, she proactively spoke to Xun'er at this moment.

A total of sixteen people came in this time, but now only thirteen had gathered here.

No one cared about the two from the Hun Clan; many were concerned about where Gu Fei had gone.

"Big Brother Gu Fei arrived at the third level early!"

Xun'er answered with extreme certainty at this moment, because she believed that with Gu Fei's strength, if he were still on the second level, he would have arrived here long ago.

"As expected of Gu Fei, he can enter the third level alone!"

Upon hearing that Gu Fei had reached the third level, Huo Zhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huo Xuan, move!"

"Lei Luo, Yao Xingji, Shi Lezhi, Ling… if you guys keep watching, prepare to die here!"

The next moment, Huo Zhi also joined the team clearing the crystal wall and spoke up to remind the others from the Lei Clan, Medicine Clan, and Shi Clan.

Of the two from the Medicine Clan, one was Yao Xingji, and the other was a young woman in fiery attire. Upon seeing Huo Zhi's actions, they also joined in to help.

No one wanted to die here.

The group continued to advance, and after ten minutes, they finally pushed forward a depth of over ten zhang.

At this time, the energy pressure coming from outside grew stronger and stronger.

They could even faintly hear the whooshing sound of the wind brought by the storm.

"This won't do, time is too tight, and our speed is so slow!"

Lei Luo's face showed impatience, and he stopped smashing the passage, lamenting, "If Big Brother Lei Dong had come to the Heavenly Tomb this time, he would have smashed through this damned crystal wall long ago!"

"Yeah, Big Brother Lei Dong has already reached the Two-Star Dou Sheng... Alas, it's a pity Big Brother Lei Dong is still in the Lei Pond trial!"

Another person from the Lei Clan also stopped.

"What's the use of saying that? Hurry up and act, or we'll all die!"

Seeing this, Huo Zhi looked at the two from the Lei Clan with great disdain.

And just as the two from the Lei Clan were resting, everyone discovered that the crystal wall was slowly closing up, with some white worms wiggling within.

"How could this be?"

At this, everyone became even more desperate.

What was absurd was that Ancient Devouring Worms appeared in large numbers, even able to devour their attacks.

"I seem to have sensed the aura of a Heavenly Flame..."

Suddenly, a red light shone brightly from Huo Zhi's glabella, giving her a special kind of beauty.

"What Heavenly Flame?"

Huo Xuan stopped and looked at Huo Zhi in surprise.

"This is Gu Fei's aura!"

Huo Zhi carefully sensed her surroundings, then suddenly looked towards the front right of the passage with pleasant surprise, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation.

Everyone's gaze followed suit.

There, the incredibly hard passage wall was melted without any resistance, and a dazzling blaze illuminated everyone's faces.

Everyone's eyes instinctively narrowed.

Behind that blaze, Xun'er, Huo Zhi, and the others saw a familiar figure.
