Chapter 1230: Empress’s Blessing
Seven seconds ago.
Everyone inside the Absolute Barrier was watching the battle as witnesses. Zhang Wei opened his eyes wide and concentrated, swearing to remember what happened next.
What happened was simple: Pride raised his right hand and snapped his fingers. Then the world washed out in white, almost blinding Zhang Wei. He covered his eyes and screamed, unable to see anything.

The energy didn’t vanish instantly, but faded slowly.
It wasn’t until seven seconds later that those inside the barrier were able to open their eyes.
They realized to their shock that the landscapes around them were all gone. They found themselves inside a valley running around a hundred meters deep, surrounded by lingering energy particles that differed in size. It looked like a golden mine.
