Chapter 438: Chapter 412: The Mysterious Grand Hall in the Maze

"Roar"

The roars of the monsters echoed from behind, furious glares radiating from their eyes as they gazed at the person who suddenly stopped and bent over!

That’s mine!

You thief!

The Li siblings, watching from behind, felt an extreme sense of satisfaction at the sight of Li Chen about to be engulfed by the swarm of monsters.

"Sister, using others to eliminate the problem was truly a brilliant move," Li Yang remarked admiringly.

Li Xinmei smiled gently, "It’s because you threw it so well, brother."

In their eyes, Li Chen was surely doomed this time; even if he survived, he would definitely be seriously injured. Then wouldn’t he be just meat on their cutting board?

Li Chen picked up the Golden Core and swallowed it without a second thought. In a flash, the medicinal effect of the Golden Core burst forth, and a torrent of ferocious energy radiated outwards in all directions!

Like a huge wave in the vast ocean crashing down mercilessly onto the shore!

In an instant, Li Chen felt as if a terrifying force had materialized within his body, filling every vein and muscle with boundless energy from head to toe.

True Qi was rotating wildly, the Mysterious Technique rapidly operating, and Mysterious Energy also surged fiercely, but at that moment, it was as if it were suppressed by the terrifying medicinal effect from the Golden Core.

Experiencing the changes within, Li Chen felt an illusion as if he could control the Mysterious Energy inside his body!

At that moment, he seemed able to control both True Qi and Mysterious Energy, and the medicinal effect bursting from the Golden Core even made him want to expel the overwhelming energy from his body!

The monsters had already charged over. The ones above pounced towards Li Chen, their hideous fangs exposed, their sharp claws outstretched, while monsters on the ground lunged at his legs.

They wanted to bite Li Chen to death!

But suddenly, Li Chen turned around, and it seemed as if the Mysterious Technique momentarily broke through, giving him the illusion that he could control everything!

Clasping his fists tightly, and with a thunderous surge of power, Li Chen directed the energy around him and his punch straight at the oncoming horde of monsters!

With tumultuous force, the charging monsters, as though facing an outburst of wild energy, were sent reeling back by the might of his punch!

From afar, the Li siblings had been anticipating the sight of Li Chen being devoured by countless monsters, but the next moment, they were slack-jawed with utter disbelief.

Is this even possible?

The monsters were uncontrollably flung aside, unable to resist.

Could Li Chen really be so terrifying?

A trace of horror was evident in the eyes of Li Xinmei and Li Yang. The terrifying strength Li Chen was displaying was something they simply could not resist.

There is a saying that when your strength is truly great, no amount of cunning and trickery can prevail, and this saying is correct.

Feeling the need to vent, Li Chen found the swarm of monsters to be the perfect target. His fists were engulfed in a veil of unseen energy, as if wearing an invisible glove.

His punches smashed forward. With each one landing, the heads of two monsters in front were brutally crushed!

Silver-white fluid oozed from the gaping wounds as Li Chen unleashed another punch, single-handedly slaughtering through the group. Against these monsters, every strike was lethal!

Previously, Li Chen had witnessed the vitality of these monsters, but now, a single punch was enough to obliterate them!

With another punch, a monster’s body was punctured with a hole, and what was more horrifying was that the energy and True Qi accompanying the punch were so hot that they swiftly evaporated the creature’s blood and life force!

Watching Li Chen slaughter through the monsters like a War God, the Li siblings’ shock had almost rendered them numb.

Li Xinmei took a deep breath, "Let’s go!"

Li Yang and Li Xinmei turned and left. The might Li Chen had wielded was simply too terrifying; they had to find some other way.

After slaughtering the group of monsters, Li Chen then felt the calm returning inside his body, as if the medicinal effect of the Golden Core had completely dissipated, and the Mysterious Technique that had momentarily advanced reverted back to its previous level.

Feeling the changes within, it seemed that his body was now filled with abundant True Qi. Moreover, a significant amount of Mysterious Energy was absorbed, less than before, while True Qi had increased.

His veins had become sturdier, and within them, the True Qi was almost transforming into a surging liquid, shrouded in mist!

Li Chen felt this change was somewhat strange. Though he had not fully recovered, he felt very powerful.

Shaking his head, Li Chen decided to go find Lin Yi and the others.

Elsewhere in the maze, other experts who entered were also gradually approaching the heart of the Relic.

A man clad in a black robe, his face resembling a skeleton, was walking within the maze.

All who should come have arrived; the only question now is whether they can truly force that thing out.

This man is none other than Brahma, the Main God!

At the same time, in another location, a handsome man with golden hair and a group of others were wandering through the twists and turns of the maze, their clothes somewhat tattered, indicating a previous encounter with humanoid monsters.

The Main God, Apollo!

Along with the previously seen Polar God, it could be said that a quarter of the Twelve Main Gods were now present within this Relic.

Combined with Li Chen, a third of the Main Gods had gathered here. Considering Earth’s vast population and the elusive nature of Main Gods, the chances of them being all together like this were incredibly slim.

At this moment, it seemed like they were at the center of the maze, or perhaps at its edge, but astonishingly there existed an extremely vast grand hall!

Within the hall, solemn and majestic statues were carved, surrounded by murals on all sides, depicting lofty mountains, dragons with bared fangs and claws, Pegasus with wings on their sides, and even a massive Alchemical Cauldron, along with an Alchemist dressed in a Taoist Robe decorated with unusual patterns!

It looked as if one were in an ancient palace from times long past, one could feel the solemnity and bizarreness of that era assaulting their senses!

Apart from the murals, the bricks on the ground were also extraordinary, uneven in height and not flat.

In several spots, different statues stood erect, a total of eight statues, each with a unique form, including armored generals and oddly dressed magicians, among others.

And in the middle, there was a platform on which, dazzlingly, there rested a shining Golden Core!

All of this combined to give anyone looking on a feeling of shock and insignificance!

Just then, a group of mercenaries happened upon this hall by chance!

"Eh! Look quick, isn’t that a Golden Core?"

"My God, it’s exactly like the description we heard!"

"Go grab it!"

The excitement of these few mercenaries knew no bounds as they charged toward it, but as soon as they stepped on the floor tiles, suddenly, several round holes opened up in the distant murals, and in the blink of an eye, the sound of "whoosh whoosh whoosh" rang out!

Numerous cold arrows shot directly at them, the arrowheads gleaming with a cold light, and on them, there was even a deep green poison!

"Pfft!"

The few didn’t even have time to react before they were struck by the cold arrows, which had so much force they pierced through one and then lodged into the body of a second person!

"Ah!"

"There are traps!" a mercenary shouted loudly, but before he could finish, a cold arrow pierced his chest, and he fell powerless to the ground.

It looked like these mercenaries had come just to try their luck, their strength was lacking, and after a salvo of cold arrows, they all ended up dead on the ground.

For a moment, the hall fell silent once again.

But then, the second person to discover the hall came.

...

Elsewhere, Li Chen had also regrouped with Lin Yi, now ever fearful that something more might happen to Lin Yi.

"Are you alright?" Li Chen asked with concern.

Lin Yi shook his head, tenderness in his eyes, "I’m fine as long as you are."

"Mr. Cheen, I would’ve been scared to death if you hadn’t shown up," Yue’er sighed in relief. Although she was still on edge, she was somewhat better than at the start.

Li Chen looked at the somewhat recovered Ginseng Doll in his arms and gently touched it, "Let’s keep moving."

The two women nodded and the trio continued along the maze.

Up to now, Li Chen still didn’t know where he was headed, but by chance, the route corresponded exactly with the way to the grand hall!

Inside the hall, there were already several groups of teams, among them a Mercenary Team that was ranked just below the Cobra Team. However, they all just stood aside, showing no intention of taking action.

"Eh? There’s a grand hall here too?"

A voice sounded, and everyone turned to look, only to see a man with blond hair who had spoken, followed by a team.

Apollo, seeing the hall, immediately took a keen interest and led his group over, and in just a moment, his gaze focused on the platform at the center.

Golden Core!

"Could this be the secret of the Relic of Life?" Apollo pointed at the Golden Core and someone next to him immediately nodded respectfully in affirmation.

"Haha, it seems this treasure is destined to be mine," Apollo laughed heartily. The other Mercenary Corps were instantly dissatisfied, but as a few whispered about Apollo’s identity, their faces changed drastically.

Main God!

Shit, one of the most terrifying characters on the ranking list had arrived?

The top-ranked Mercenary Team still made no move, but when they saw Apollo wanted to take the Golden Core, a glint of determination flashed in their eyes!

Apollo leaped up, almost as if flying, heading straight for the Golden Core on the platform.

With a push-off from the ground, he closed the distance to the Golden Core, but just then, a golden net fell from above, precisely where Apollo was.

"Young master, be careful!" someone at the back yelled.

Apollo looked up and immediately dropped down, changing positions, but as he moved, other traps were triggered.

To the left, a row of cold arrows shot straight at him, their speed so fast it even startled Apollo. He dodged again, but just as he was about to land, flames erupted from the ground, shooting straight towards him!

That wasn’t all; several massive stones from above suddenly came crashing down, as if intending to crush Apollo to death with their massive weight!

Seeing this sudden turn of events, the mercenaries and Apollo’s companions all turned pale, this damn trap was just too terrifying, wasn’t it?
