999 Chapter 560: The Entry to the Obelisk

Kratos smashed the transcendent of the Knight Sect into a bloody mess. The Soul Chain on its body tightened.

A distorted, struggling, half-transparent soul roared soundlessly in all directions. Kratos pulled him out.

Kratos placed him on his side.

The transcendent boss opened its mouth and chewed the soul into pieces before it swallowed the arrogant warrior.

'Burp!'

The dark soul eater even burped comfortably.

Kratos even ate everything clean.

Richard saw the soul had directly increased Kratos's Soul Devouring Halo from 160,000 dark power to 170,000.

A transcendent soul was a great supplement.

The Dragon's Fang Guild's two players felt a strange emotion after they saw the dust settle.

They had said it before. It was as they expected.

However, the relationship would probably suffer a heavy blow when they returned with the death of the Knight Sect's transcendent. They painstakingly built this relationship up.

However, why were they so happy?

"This bastard deserved to die!

"You degraded players. You were so arrogant. You looked down on everything!!

"There was a price to pay for acting tough!

"Now, he felt good, right? Qingqiu trampled him to death. F*ck!!"

The players vented their emotions. The middle-aged player, the leader of the Dragon's Fang Guild, stepped forward and looked up at the figure who dominated everything.

"Boss Qingqiu, one has sealed the power of the stones of the ancient ones in this obelisk. You'd better be careful if you don't have the means to deal with it.

"This time, thank you for saving my life. The Dragon's Fang Guild owes you a big favor. We'll give our best if you need anything, as long as you let us know."

Richard glanced at them.

"How much do you know about this obelisk?"

It was like the scarlet flame eyes at the top of the obelisk brewed something. It got increasingly terrifying.

The middle-aged player smiled bitterly.

"We don't have much information. We only know the approximate strength of the obelisk and the stones of the ancient ones's power sealed inside. The transcendents from the Kinight Sect control the rest."

Richard wouldn't want to speak. He did not say anything.

He waved his hand.

"All of you, step back."

"We… Can we leave now?"

Richard glanced at them. "Wait until I take over the obelisk. Then you can do whatever you want."

He waved at the transcendent as he spoke and flew towards the obelisk without hesitation.

The two looked at each other and did not say anything.

They quickly and efficiently evacuated the remaining hundreds of soldiers from the obelisk.

However, they didn't go far away and obediently stayed as Richard instructed.

Richard moved on. He was still interested in a few unfamiliar players. But he planned to talk to the two about the obelisk after he obtained it.

There was already a guild in Ell Dimension. He could also bring in more guilds soon.

The Dragon's Fang Guild must have a foundation, although it didn't seem very powerful since they could make the sect send transcendents to complete the mission. 

He could also get different information from here.

Windsor was the master of the Crimson Moon. She prepared to slaughter the gods. He wanted to know movements from the sect recently.

Richard sighed and collected his scattered thoughts. He raised his head slightly and looked at the obelisk before him.

This obelisk was more vast. It had a longer diameter than the obelisk Richard had conquered in Ell Kingdom.

The scarlet eye above his head was even more indescribably strange.

He felt a burning pain in his soul after a bit of stare.

A few transcendents had gathered around, and Loreinna was the first to speak.

"Lord, the power from the obelisk must have disturbed the surrounding space. I felt that one must have sealed an evil god. 

"A breach of this seal would cause enormous damage."

Richard narrowed his eyes.

"Loreinna, go try that eye..."

"As you wish, Lord."

Loreinna's silver eyes suddenly shone with a radiant moonlight.

Her body emitted a blood-colored energy. The blood-colored energy condensed into scarlet bats.

It transformed into a bat storm and swept towards the top of the obelisk.

The bats were already close in a few breaths.

However, before they could do anything, the blood-colored bats suddenly trembled, and their bodies burned with the same flames as the scarlet flame eyes.

Everyone heard the ear-piercing screams.

The bats turned around and circled the scarlet flame eyes that guarded the obelisk.

Loreinna spat out a mouthful of blood when the scarlet flame eyes corrupted. Her face turned pale.

She looked in the eye with some shock.

"Lord…I can't detect that power!

"It burned my soul…"

Richard narrowed his eyes.

He knew it wasn't that easy.

However, he did not stop.

He ordered Dark Valkyrie and Centaur Emily to attack from afar.

The explosive power of a transcendent was extremely ferocious.

The surrounding space shattered and distorted. It nearly destroyed the city walls.

However, it instantly disappeared when this attack came within 20 to 30 meters of the scarlet flame eyes.

It was as if an invisible giant hand had erased everything!

Richard's heart jumped.

Fortunately, he didn't rush.

Breaking the situation would not work from the outside.

He looked at the bottom of the obelisk.

A tall stone door was now open to both sides. It was dark inside, and one couldn't see anything. That gave people an inexplicable psychological pressure.

Richard looked to his side.

He waved at the soldiers beside him.

"The stone statues of the dead from the team in front, immediately go and investigate."

He didn't receive a notification he had taken down the obelisk. In such a strange situation, he didn't know what kind of threat he would face if he went there rashly.

The stone statues of the dead immediately moved. They flapped their wings and quickly approached.

However, their bodies suddenly stiffened when he was about twenty to thirty meters from the stone door. Then, his body shattered bit by bit from the outside under everyone's gaze. They turned into dregs.

The stone statues of the dead did not even struggle or resist.

They died inexplicably and strangely.

Richard's eyes turned grave.

The power of the stones of the ancient ones. What a familiar aura!

But why didn't he sense any danger?

He had thought of something. He slowly took out the stones of the ancient ones from his bosom.

At this moment, the ancient god statue emitted a dim light.

Richard released a dim light that enveloped him.

Then, he stepped from the skeleton blood dragon down and flew straight to the obelisk while he controlled the sand to float.

"Lord!"

The scene shocked the transcendents when they saw it.

Richard raised his hand and waved it back. He stopped and followed afterward.

He could only watch his movements nervously.

His troops could rush up to save them if anything went wrong.

Richard did not feel any danger. Instead, he felt eager to try as he approached the obelisk. That was the emotion transmitted to him by the ancient god statue.

It looked like this statue yearned for something.

In a moment, Richard stood before the stone statue of the dead. He flew past it without hesitation.

At this moment, he felt a gentle energy sweep across his body like a wind. His hair stood on end.

But then, the energy disappeared without a trace.

His tensed heart finally relaxed.

He immediately sped up and descended from the sky to the vast stone door. It was ten meters tall or more.

Ordinary people would feel tiny standing before such a vast door.

It was still pitch-black inside. One could not see anything.

The light behind him elongated his shadow. That has concealed him in the darkness after being cast a few meters away. 

Richard took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and strode forward.

The dark light on the ancient god statue suddenly shone brightly.

He passed through the stone door in just a few breaths.

The scene in front of him changed at this moment.

The endless darkness quietly disappeared, and a blood-colored world appeared before him.

The ground was blood-colored. The walls were blood-colored, and even the air that floated was blood-colored. They all appeared hazy.

In this endless blood-colored hue, a broken corpse that towered into the clouds stood erect.

It looked like a giant's corpse with countless scars. A machine cutter must have wantonly destroyed it. It had long been unrecognizable.

This corpse stood 30 meters tall or more. That mostly shocked all. Countless tentacles filled its head. The scene made people feel uncomfortable.

Richard felt that the tentacles on it were very familiar and subconsciously looked down.

This corpse! It was 70% similar to the ancient god statue!!

At this moment, the ancient god statue emitted a unique hot aura in the blood-colored light.

It had transmitted countless immature feelings and emotions of desire, excitement, and anticipation. 

A unique one rose in Richard's heart.

He has spent countless amounts of effort to nurture it since he obtained the ancient god statue until now. This treasure also helped him overcome many difficulties.

Now, he discovered something remarkable.

He raised his head again and carefully examined the broken corpse. Something happened in the three eye sockets on the head.
