Chapter 502: Chapter 503 Touching Intelligence [First Update, Subscription Request]

What is a pyramid? To the people on the surface and to those underground, it remains an unsolved mystery.

Take the Pyramid of Khufu, for example. The longitudinal bisector of its square base, when extended to infinity, perfectly aligns with the Earth’s meridian. This line divides the planet’s land and oceans into two equal halves and also bisects the Nile Delta. The diagonals of the base, when extended, encompass the Nile Delta. Furthermore, the pyramid’s center is located precisely at the gravitational center of all the continents. The coincidences were simply too numerous, and the mysteries of the pyramids did not end there.

The Silver Immortal Seekers had come here a few days prior. They too were powerless against the barrier and had been forced to leave. At that time, there had been no pyramid in sight. But now? A pyramid had suddenly appeared? The Silver Immortal Seekers of the Great Sect were utterly shocked, completely petrified.

"I see it now... I finally understand how the pyramids appeared," the leader of the Silver Immortal Seekers suddenly exclaimed, his eyes shining with excitement. A question that had puzzled humanity for ages, one they believed would never be solved, was about to be answered by him.

"What is it?"

"How did the pyramid appear?" the others asked one by one.

The silver-clad leader explained, "It’s simple. We discovered the Abyss, and outside of it is a barrier. Its energy is different from Yuan Force; it must be immortal power. And now, a pyramid has suddenly appeared before the Abyss! Without a doubt, this pyramid is the masterwork of immortals! This means the unsolved mysteries of Earth’s pyramids and all those other miraculous relics must also be the creations of immortals."

He was thrilled, convinced he had finally solved the puzzle. His subordinates heard this and cheered, certain that he was right. There could be no mistake.

"Let’s go! We must reclaim the Abyss!" the leader commanded. "Only our Great Sect is worthy of discovering the footsteps of immortals, and only we are entitled to receive their grace! The entire sect will become Flying Immortals!"

"The entire sect will become Flying Immortals!"

"The entire sect will become Flying Immortals!"

"The entire sect will become Flying Immortals!"

"The entire sect will become Flying Immortals!"

The group roared in unison. For the entire sect to become Flying Immortals was the ultimate goal of the Great Sect, and it was the dream of every single one of its members.

They hurried toward the pyramid, where Wu Tian and his companions were waiting.

"You still dare to linger here?" The Silver Immortal Seekers assumed victory was certain. Seeing Wu Tian, Liu Tianji, and other prominent figures standing behind the rest of their group, they immediately burst into laughter.

The leader of the Silver Immortal Seekers chuckled. "Our Great Sect discovered this Abyss first, yet you killed our people and forcibly occupied it. You have gone too far, so we have no choice but to deal with you harshly."

Within the power structure of the Underground World, the Great Sect did not follow the Evil Path of Immortal Seekers. Therefore, when they killed, they needed a just cause to maintain their righteous standing.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Get on with it," Wu Tian said indifferently from behind Tao Qianyang and the others.

My Spiritual Sense has already told me everything. These men are completely loyal to the Honorable Master. They were tricked by Luo Qingshan into coming here to die. It’s a shame they don’t know it.

"That’s right, bring it on."

"Stop wasting time with words and just attack," the people on Wu Tian’s side taunted.

Hearing this, the Silver Immortal Seekers of the Great Sect all frowned, a flicker of unease in their hearts. After all, they weren’t complete fools. Yet, no matter how they assessed the situation, they couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Even if they weren’t fools, their intelligence was only marginally better. The Silver Immortal Seekers all secretly circulated the Yuan Force within their Spirit Roots, remaining on guard.

"Heh, to be facing death and still putting on an act... I have to admire you. But make no mistake, you will die," the silver-clad leader sneered.

The Great Sect’s Silver Immortal Seekers numbered a thousand, divided into ten squads of one hundred, each with its own leader. Although Tao Qianyang’s group seemed unnervingly fearless, the leader didn’t think they could pull off any tricks. Luo Qingshan had told him that this group had barely managed a pyrrhic victory against their own Bronze Immortal Seekers. Yet, looking at them now, they didn’t have a single scratch. The leader’s first suspicion wasn’t that Luo Qingshan had lied, but that this group was posturing. They were injured but were deliberately pretending not to be to maintain an imposing facade. It had to be said, Luo Qingshan’s reputation within the Great Sect was so sterling that no one would ever doubt him.

Wu Tian and his companions burst into laughter. The sight of these Silver Immortal Seekers from the Great Sect, led to their own slaughter and still utterly oblivious, was truly something else. Their naivete was almost touching.

"Attack! Kill them!" Seeing that Wu Tian and the others still dared to laugh, the silver-clad leader roared, and his group charged forward.

Those at the front, like Tao Qianyang, parted ways to let Wu Tian step forward. His robes billowed as if in a phantom wind, and he faintly exuded the majesty of a Divine King.

Wu Tian clenched his fist. Instantly, Spiritual Power erupted from his body, and the very ground around him began to tremble violently.

What was happening?

The faces of the Silver Immortal Seekers contorted in shock. When they finally got a clear look at the man who had emerged from the crowd, they were stunned.

"That... that’s Wu Tian and his group, the ones who destroyed the Righteous Alliance?"

"How can it be them?"

"Didn’t Young Master Luo say they only managed a pyrrhic victory against our Bronze Immortal Seekers?"

At this point, they finally understood that Luo Qingshan had lied. Their intelligence was pitiable, but not so low that they were beyond hope. Even so, some among the Silver Immortal Seekers still clung to the belief that Luo Qingshan must have been caught in an Illusion Technique. Why else would such a good person deceive them?

Wu Tian raised his fist. A flicker of fear crossed the faces of the Silver Immortal Seekers as they shouted in unison, "The Great Sect is the number one power in the Underground World! You can’t kill us!"

"Our Great Sect is nothing like the Righteous Alliance!"

"Besides, there’s no real enmity between us!"

They pleaded, one after another, truly wanting to avoid a fight with Wu Tian.

"No real enmity?" Hearing this, Wu Tian let out a scornful laugh. "Anyone who wishes to kill me shall be killed by me!"

His words left the Silver Immortal Seekers of the Great Sect exchanging glances. Gritting their teeth, they charged toward Wu Tian in a wave of fury. At that moment, their powers combined, the force of their Spirit Roots erupting as one, causing the very air to howl around them.

Instead of retreating, Wu Tian advanced and threw a single punch.

One opponent? I kill them with a single punch. Two opponents? I kill them with a single punch. An entire group? I’ll still kill them all with a single punch.

Seeing Wu Tian face their hundred-man assault with a single fist, the silver-clad leader felt a surge of hope. He yelled, "Brothers, it took their whole group to destroy the Righteous Alliance! Wu Tian is just one man, so what do we have to fear? Remember our goal! We seek to become Flying Immortals, something they can’t even comprehend!"

The entire sect becoming Flying Immortals... The thought made the Silver Immortal Seekers’ blood boil. It was their ultimate dream. Inside the Abyss, there might be actual immortals. Their dream was right before their eyes.

A wave of passion surged through them. Fueled by this fervor, the combined strength of the hundred men reached one hundred twenty percent of its normal potential. The force of a hundred men collided with the power of Wu Tian’s single punch. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

BOOM!

A thunderous explosion erupted, instantly blanketing the area in billowing dust and smoke.
