GOD OF ALL SYSTEMS-Chapter 85 Let Their Be Explosions
?Appearing in the deeper locations of the infinite treasures mountain, Patrick hovered over the enormous ancient structure with the large seal array formation on it; the ancient building stood at a wanting height of 300 feet tall, its peak even piercing the clouds within the dimension. At the foot of the ancient building, Patrick saw at least five hundred gathered cultivators as they attempted to break the seal by barraging it with multiple powerful attacks. But the next moment, the cultivators seized attacking the seal as they felt the change of Qi in the atmosphere; some cultivators immediately scanned their surroundings, while some looked up as they saw Patrick floating with an authoritative demeanor.
Upon seeing Patrick, some cultivators frowned as they recalled the previous description of the man mentioned on the bounty, Patrick matching the exact description of the silver-haired male, wearing a peculiar black attire. But instead of acting immediately, some cultivators began retreating their steps as they realized who Patrick was. 'This man challenged the Ancient Gong descendant and his one hundred escorts of Star Entities and managed to come out alive and unscratched? Who would dare face him? It will be more like suicide than an actual fight, and if he isn't afraid of killing an ancient descendant, what are we to even stand as his opponent?'
The cultivators analyzed their thoughts as they tried not to anger the floating Patrick. Among the standing cultivators, the Spiral Sword Celestial stood not far from the clustered group as he peeked glances at Patrick, his mind going through the same thought process like the other cultivators, but he didn't retreat any steps back; he instead ignored the situation as if he wasn't involved at all.
Noticing the awkward behaviors of the below cultivators, Patrick ignored them as he began slowly descending, his figure approaching the clustered cultivators blocking the path to the building entrance. Seeing Patrick approach them, the martial cultivators dispersed as they made a clear path leading to the building entrance; Patrick majestically landed on the ground with his black coat fluttering with the swirling breeze. He then made his way to the entrance of the ancient structure with the large array seal; this seal was a level ten array sealing formation as it prevented the cultivators from entering.
"Cancel."
Patrick continued walking towards the array seal as he uttered, the large array seal instantly defusing as if someone wiped it from the space. Patrick continued walking elegantly, hands in his coat as he entered the building, completely ignoring the cultivators' expressions. The cultivators witnessed Patrick casually deactivate the level ten sealing formation with but a word, but they didn't burst out immediately; they waited until Patrick's figure vanished into the building then suddenly.
"WHAT!"
"Did my eyes deceive me? Did I just witness that man solve a level ten array with a word!?"
"A level ten array master can only be found in the core regions of the central continent, and they will be found allied with powerful families, sects, or mostly serving under the overlords. Could it be that he is an array formation master?"
"Yeah, I agree, that will only explain his knowledge of array formations, and the fact that he didn't hesitate to kill a descendant from an ancient family only proves he might be from the core regions. But I think there is more than that; I couldn't sense his cultivation realm, that means he is someone of higher cultivation than all of us."
"You fools are still discussing? Others are already rushing for their high-grade treasures. Hopefully, I get a heaven-grade cultivation art or technique."
Multiple cries broke out as the five hundred plus cultivators tried to uncover Patrick's mysterious background and his relations to arrays. But while others discussed, some took advantage of the opportunity as they barged into the building for treasures. Among the rushing cultivators, the girl who had previously chatted with Patrick stood shocked as she stared inside the entrance building; she was still mesmerized by Patrick's figure, which had faded long ago inside the ancient structure. She then lustfully bit her lip as she spoke. "You are mine." (I wish I could tell her she has no chance, Sigh!)
Inside the now unsealed ancient building, Patrick stood on the first floor as he saw the countless treasures lying around like garbage. There were four rotating arrays engraved on the walls, and from these arrays emerged the treasures; there were different types of treasures, some were pills in white bottles, some were weapons of different types, and some were cultivation manuals and skills. Regardless of the already piling amount of treasures, the four rotating arrays continued bringing forth more pills and weapons as the floor was already submerged in treasures. Patrick spectated the first floor as he saw the stairway leading to the upper floors; he proceeded towards the stairway. Boom!
Suddenly, a loud booming sound echoed the first floor as it scattered the complied treasures; specs of dust covered the scene due to the loud explosion. Seconds later, the dust clouds settled as Patrick got revealed; he stood with one foot stepping forward, speaking after.
"Although the array seal is trash, I can at least give this trap array some credit. It is strong enough to injure a Saint, but killing one isn't possible. But it will be quite tragic for those greedy fools entering here thinking they have made it big. Grace, scan for array traps on this floor."
Patrick spoke as he ordered Grace; from his calm speech, it seems he intentionally stepped on an array trap to see its effectiveness. Patrick's view changed as Grace highlighted the traps on the first floor with red colors; Patrick watched the highlighted traps on the first floor as he spoke.
"Two hundred exploding trap arrays, and each one good enough to injure a Saint, with this many on the first floor, what is there to expect from the second and higher floors? Grace, I will do them a favor, deactivate all the traps on the first floor, and leave a message not to ascend the higher floors. But as humans, their greed will get the better of them anyways, but I will at least find their greedy deaths amusing."
"Yes, Master, deactivating all array traps on the first floor.
Patrick finished his business on the first floor as he headed for the stairway; he casually stretched his right index finger as he wrote on the wall, 'Stop here.' He then headed for the second floor.
Not long after Patrick left, the group of rushing cultivators barged into the first floor as they saw the mountain of complied treasures. "Yes!" Multiple joyful cries rang out as the cultivators rushed for the treasures; some used their space rings to swallow millions worth of treasures as they laughed while on the act. The Spiral Sword Celestial and the girl also rushed as they accumulated millions of high-grade treasures, cultivation manuals, and bottled pills. After twenty minutes, the entire first floor became empty as the previously complied mountain of treasures was no more, but suddenly an old man spoke.
"Hey, if there is this much wealth and fortune on the first floor, imagine what is waiting for us on the second floor." f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂
"Yeah, we should go-"
"Everyone wait, according to the records, the infinite treasures mountain is full of array traps, although most of us headed directly for the core area, we can't be reckless, I think we should be careful-"
"Hey, look here, someone left a message, it says 'Stop here?' is this a message from the owner of this dimension?" 𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖
"Are you stupid? The fact that we didn't activate any array trap only proves some people must have misinterpreted the records, saying there are traps within the mountain that could even kill Saints. I think it is only to reduce competition; they want to accumulate everything for themselves whenever the mountain reappears. And where is that array master who entered before us? Is he dead? No."
"Now that I think about it, you are right; the records must be misrecorded. Let's run quickly before the others reach the other floors before us."
The cultivators chatted as they convinced themselves of the building not having any traps, but while some enthusiastically rushed for the stairway, ignoring the engraved words on the wall, some cultivators, including the Spiral Sword Celestial, and the girl stayed behind as they watched with cautious faces. Seeing that many weren't moving, over three hundred cultivators rushed for the second floor as they didn't take precautions.
Patrick has been steadily climbing the stairways for the past twenty minutes now; he had passed the second and third floors as he headed for the highest floor, the one-hundredth floor. He had heard and sensed the cultivators arrive on the first floor with joyful cries, easily accumulating over millions of high-grade treasures and cultivation manuals without the slightest struggle as it ignited their greed even further. Noticing the cultivators almost reaching the second floor and were about to trigger the array traps, Patrick halted his pace, raised his head as he uttered.
"And I say, let there be explosions."
BOOM!
