Lord Death Is Now Back Home by Chris

Chapter 1226: The Giant Stone Statues

Cultivators above the Grandmaster realm fared better. However, those at the Grandmaster level could not withstand the onslaught of hundreds of ancient soldiers. If this continued, it was uncertain how many would survive.

Suddenly, Chris Shelby shouted, "I found the formation eye! This killing array has many formation eyes; we must break them all. The formation eye for these ancient soldiers is on that ancient general."

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed. Not far away stood a figure wearing armor distinct from the surrounding soldiers. Clearly, this was the ancient general.

Seeing this, Peterson Abernathy and Daniel Williams quickly charged forward. After a fierce battle, they killed the ancient general. Meanwhile, Chris Shelby discovered another ancient general and swiftly killed him as well. One by one, Chris Shelby and his team broke several formation eyes.

When the last formation eye was destroyed, all the ancient soldiers vanished. The massive palace fell into an eerie silence. Despite this, no one dared to relax their guard. They had a premonition that the killing array was not entirely broken. What awaited them could be even more dangerous.

At this point, fewer than ten thousand people remained on site. Peterson Abernathy had brought ten thousand elite members of the Abernathy family; now only around five thousand were left. Daniel Williams also brought ten thousand men, but only four thousand survived. Chris Shelby brought a thousand royal guards, and now only about eight hundred remained.

Each side suffered significant losses. Nearly half of their forces had perished along the way. Now, those who survived were mostly cultivators above the Grandmaster realm, with a few at the Transcendence level.

Despite such heavy sacrifices, they still had not reached the ninth level of the tomb. No one dared to move recklessly because they sensed an impending danger.

Chris Shelby took a deep breath and said to everyone, "If I'm right, we still face one final terrifying killing array. This array has three attacks; we've broken two so far. This last attack..."

Chris Shelby didn't finish his sentence. Since he began studying formations, he had never encountered such a formidable killing array.

Hearing his words, everyone's faces turned grim. How many would survive this final attack? What kind of danger awaited them?

For a moment, no one dared to take another step forward. But what had to come would come eventually.

Chris Shelby took two steps forward, followed closely by Tiger and others. He turned back and saw Peterson Abernathy and Daniel Williams still hesitating.

"Let's go! Staying here won't help. Our only option is to unite. If we want to obtain the Dragon Emblem fragments, we must be prepared to pay a price!"

Hearing Chris Shelby's words, Peterson Abernathy and Daniel Williams fell silent. They knew he was right-they were all in this together. Only by uniting could they successfully navigate through the killing array. Otherwise, more people would die, making the path ahead even tougher.

Moreover, everyone here was after the Dragon Emblem fragments. Those who made it this far had faced countless life-and-death situations. If they were afraid of death, they wouldn't have such strength today. Soon, Peterson Abernathy and Daniel Williams joined them. They were now only a hundred meters from the end of the palace.

But then everyone stopped because they sensed several extremely dangerous presences nearby.

Chris Shelby stood at the front and saw it most clearly-neatly arranged statues lay ten meters ahead. These statues were all made of giant stones, emanating terrifying auras.

There were ten statues in total, each nearly three meters tall.

Chris Shelby frowned at these statues and suddenly stepped back two paces, shouting, "Everyone be careful!"

This palace was already filled with killing arrays; now these ten statues appeared out of nowhere. Even a fool could see that these statues were not simple.

Moreover, the aura emanating from these statues was terrifying.

Hearing Chris Shelby's warning, everyone became highly alert.

Soon after, the statues began to move.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The entire hall shook as if an earthquake had struck.

The ten giant stone statues formed a line like towering mountains blocking Chris Shelby and his team from entering the next palace entrance.

"The strength of these stone statues is no less than Chief Master level; be careful!" Chris Shelby said gravely as he felt their powerful aura.

With those words, a sword appeared in Chris Shelby's hand. Now wasn't the time for talk-the statues blocked their way forward. They had to destroy them to proceed to the next level of the palace. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Peterson Abernathy and Daniel Williams joined Chris Shelby's side.

They examined the stone statues in astonishment and said, "Chris Shelby, these statues won't be easy to deal with!"

Before their words even faded, the ten stone statues launched an attack on them.

Despite their massive size, these

stone statues moved swiftly and

reached Chris Shelby's group almost instantly. Their huge fists came

crashing down on them with great

force.

If hit by these fists, Chris Shelby had no doubt he would be crushed into pulp.

Raising his sword to block the attack, Chris Shelby was pushed back three steps by their immense power.

He looked up in shock-despite his strength; he was forced back by these stone statues?

Feeling their tremendous power

made Chris Shelby's eyes burn with

determination. If he could bring these stone statues back with him, they would significantly bolster his combat strength.

But it was just a thought for now-not only would transporting them be difficult but controlling them would also be a major challenge.

Chris Shelby could tell that these stone statues were products of advanced ancient mechanisms likely lost to time.
