Chapter 526: Bodhi Tree
Rocks exploded into the air as smoke spewed into the sky. The smoke shrouded the sky in black clouds, covering everything underneath it in darkness. The darkness didn’t last long, as the rocks fell down like blazing meteors.
The venerables and grandmasters had a grim expression. Although such an attack was troublesome, it wouldn’t kill them as long as they were careful. The same couldn’t be said for the masters and warriors. Even a graze would kill a peak warrior. Masters had a higher chance of survival, but they could still get grievously injured if they weren’t careful or lucky. In the extreme cases, it would be death.
Every one of them displayed their best movement skills to dodge the incoming rocks. Soon, the area around Mount Underflame was filled with shadows of warriors. The only people that didn’t take action were the ones from Emperor Hall. They stood still as if they weren’t facing possible extinction.
A few venerables even had some expectations in their eyes, as if they couldn’t wait to see the tragic end of the arrogant fools. Unfortunately for them, what they saw made them doubt their eyes.
All the rocks that shot toward them always curved after reaching a certain range and fell harmlessly to the side. Even rocks with a direct trajectory would curve. The venerables and grandmasters boggled at the absurdity, while the weaker ones who witnessed this saw hope. They ran toward the Emperor Hall. As long as they could make it into the range, they would survive!
So, they ran toward the Emperor Hall. Alas, they discovered that even if they were running straight at them, they would inexplicably curve once they reached a certain range. Just like the rocks, the warriors could not enter the forbidden zone, no matter what they did. Their actions only hastened their death as the chances of death dramatically increased the closer they were to Emperor Hall.
In the face of certain doom, many people released their inner thoughts.
“You bastards, are you still human?!”
“I curse you! I curse you to be split into a thousand pieces!”
