To the Death

Luo Feng's gaze swept around. This treasure chamber was entirely forged from G-grade metal, combined with those mysterious sacrificial patterns, making a forced breakthrough unrealistic. "Native, what do you want to do!" Cangjin King held his Lightning Spear, his voice booming, glaring at the elder Qiu Chika. Zizhong King and Huci King also stared coldly at Qiu Chika. Although the treasure chamber door was now closed and they couldn't get out, Luo Feng and the other four powerhouses, including Cangjin King, weren't panicking. This was because they could escape via God Kingdom Teleportation. However, due to mutual distrust and their desire for the treasures, they wouldn't choose to leave immediately. Just then— Outside the treasure chamber. Two streaks of light rapidly flew over, then stopped outside the treasure chamber. They were Menbu and Latimo, two of the native powerhouses. They looked at the two talismans locked onto the treasure chamber door, feeling both excited and pained. "Clack!" "Clack!" Menbu and Latimo easily took down the talismans. They hesitated, looking at the treasure chamber. They knew... their elder was inside the treasure chamber. "Elder!" Menbu and Latimo felt pain in their hearts. "Why aren't you leaving!" A voice directly entered their ears. "Hurry and leave, the tribal inheritance cannot have the slightest slack or carelessness." "Yes." Menbu and Latimo gritted their teeth and immediately transformed into streaks of light, leaving the treasure chamber. "Elder, you must come out alive, you must come out alive." Menbu, running, shouted hoarsely into the corridor. "Elder!" Latimo also shouted. A voice came from the corridor: "If I can live, I will definitely come out alive, but my chances of survival are very low. As long as you can bring back all the inheritances from the inheritance chamber, I will have no regrets." "Elder!" "Elder!" Latimo and Menbu were in tears. At this moment, in the core control room of the Altar Tower, God Lord Pue watched this scene with both excitement and pain. This plan was Qiu Chika's 'Inheritance Plan'. The entire plan was designed to increase the probability of obtaining the talismans. The plan was simple: Qiu Chika would appear and use the treasures to attract these foreign powerhouses, then lead them to the treasure chamber entrance, demanding the talismans to open the treasure. By doing so, the talismans would be left on the door. Qiu Chika would then immediately rush into the treasure chamber, feigning a scramble for treasures, naturally luring the foreign powerhouses to snatch them. Once the treasure chamber door closed, the talismans would fall into Menbu and Latimo's hands. With the door sealed, the foreign powerhouses couldn't get out. Menbu and Latimo could then naturally go to the inheritance chamber and take all the countless inheritances. The entire plan had two elements that required luck: First, whether powerhouses like Cangjin King would trust Qiu Chika and be willing to go to the treasure chamber with him. Second, whether powerhouses like Cangjin King would follow Qiu Chika into the treasure chamber, and whether anyone would notice the talismans on the door and demand to take them. However, even if they took the talismans... Qiu Chika would secretly control the door to close and seal, allowing him to say: "The talismans must remain on the door, otherwise the treasure chamber door will close." Overall, both these points carried some risk. Qiu Chika being the first to rush into the treasure chamber, trapping himself inside... this was the main reason for the plan's success. If he hadn't gone in, or if he had escaped immediately after entering, powerhouses like Cangjin King would naturally have followed him and wouldn't have been trapped in the treasure chamber, which would have affected the Inheritance Plan. "Third Brother." God Lord Pue cried out in pain, "You, you didn't have to enter the treasure chamber." "If I don't go in, they won't go in. If they don't go in... Menbu and the others won't be able to easily get the talismans, and the Inheritance Plan will be hindered." Qiu Chika's voice echoed in the control room. "Everything for the clan!" "Yes, everything for the clan." God Lord Pue also nodded silently. ... Originally, there were three treasure chambers. The first treasure chamber contained very few items, a mere display. The second treasure chamber held a vast amount of treasures, the true hoard. The third treasure chamber contained countless secret techniques suitable for the physical structure of the Yan Ji Continent natives, the true clan inheritance. The inheritance chamber was the most important of the three treasure chambers for the clan, and Qiu Chika could not allow himself to fail. So, the one he entered... was naturally the second treasure chamber. ... Inside the treasure chamber. "What do I want to do?" Qiu Chika, pinned against the wall by the Lightning Spear, smiled at Cangjin King. "Foreign powerhouse, guess what I want to do?" "Still playing games with me." Cangjin King's voice boomed. Luo Feng frowned, looking at Qiu Chika. He felt that Qiu Chika's state was off, as if he had everything under control. "Speak, how can we get you to open that treasure chest?" Cangjin King pointed at the ancient treasure chest in the center of the chamber, bound by 12 chains. "Hmph, hmph hmph." Qiu Chika looked at Cangjin King with a half-smile. "Do you want to die?" Cangjin King suppressed his anger, growling. "Clever!" Pinned by the Lightning Spear, Qiu Chika looked at Cangjin King and said softly, "I just want to die!" Zizhong King, Huci King, and Luo Feng beside them were all somewhat startled. Cangjin King also paused, then looked at this native powerhouse in disbelief. "I just want to die." "Did you understand?" "It's been too long, I've lived too long, and suffered too long. The clan faced a devastating catastrophe, and for countless years, I've been struggling and fighting. I'm too tired, too tired. Now it's time to end." A hint of relief appeared in Qiu Chika's eyes. "Perhaps in death, I can drag one or two powerful foreign King-level experts with me, haha, how delightful." "Not good." "This native is insane." Zizhong King and Huci King were shocked. This native Qiu Chika was also a peak King-level expert. If he self-destructed, Cangjin King might be fine, but they would be in deep trouble. "The inheritance is finally secured." Qiu Chika closed his eyes, smiling. "I've done enough." "Masha!" "My beloved... from the moment you grew old and fell, I wanted to leave with you. But I couldn't. Now... I come to join you in eternal slumber in the silent land." Qiu Chika's closed eyes held a serene smile, and then the energy fluctuations around him erupted violently. ... "No!!!" God Lord Pue in the control room saw the scene in the virtual projection and roared in pain, "No!!! Third Brother, stop, don't do this!" Whoosh! Whoosh! Two streaks of light flew into the control room. It was Latimo and Menbu, who had obtained the inheritance. They both stared, stunned, at the scene in the virtual projection. "Elder!" "No." ... Inside the treasure chamber. "No!" Huci King's eyes widened. He fiercely slammed the nearby wall, but the treasure chamber's walls were incredibly tough. "Madman, madman, madman!!!" Zizhong King gritted his teeth, cursing wildly in his heart. "Truly a madman." Cangjin King also let out a low growl, standing there indifferently. Luo Feng, meanwhile, wrapped himself with his wings, silently thinking, "I wonder if I can endure this." Qiu Chika, whose entire body was erupting with terrifying energy fluctuations, smiled, then closed his eyes. "Rumble~~~" Every cell in his body instantly ignited, releasing a terrifying, heart-stopping energy. The Immortal Divine Body, cultivated for billions of years, gathered all its power for this explosion! "Bang~~~" A violent energy blast, comparable to the combined might of a million Sector Lord-level kings, swept through the entire treasure chamber. The treasure chamber was only so big; there was nowhere to hide! "I cannot die!" Huci King roared. "Hmph." Zizhong King grunted, a faint purple bell shadow appearing around his body. Luo Feng wrapped himself with his wings. Cangjin King watched it all indifferently. The powerful energy storm instantly engulfed these four powerhouses. At this moment, Huci King and Zizhong King fought with all their might. "Bang!" The impact, greatly weakened after being doubly reduced by the Shi Wu Wings and the silver armor, still completely shattered Luo Feng's last layer of Moyun Battle Armor. The Moyun Battle Armor's toughness was comparable to a beginner King-level human's, and even a general high-level King-level expert would find it difficult to shatter it directly. Completely shattered meant a huge disparity. "Rumble~~~" The doubly weakened impact, almost entirely resisted by the Moyun Battle Armor, left a residual shock that made Luo Feng's body tremble, instantly destroying 80% of it. However, with a massive influx of energy, it rapidly repaired itself. Cangjin King, Zizhong King, and Huci King, without the Shi Wu Wings or the silver armor, were different. Cangjin King stood there indifferently, his body instantly shattering but immediately re-condensing, his expression still cold, staring icily at Zizhong King, Huci King, and Luo Feng. ... The tragic scene in the treasure chamber goes without saying, but in the core control room. Pue, Latimo, and Menbu were all in immense pain. Their clan had been annihilated, and under Qiu Chika's leadership, they had been struggling. Qiu Chika was their spiritual leader, always shielding them from wind and rain, solving many difficulties and dangers. Now that the inheritance was secured, Qiu Chika was gone forever. "This is a final message left by my master before his demise, for you after his death." The Altar Tower's intelligent voice echoed through the control room. Pue, Latimo, and Menbu held their breath. At the same time, Qiu Chika's voice sounded. "Pue, Latimo, Menbu, by the time you hear this, I will have fallen. Forgive me, I am an evader! For billions of years, I have only been sustained by faith. Now that the inheritance is secured, I am content. The rest is up to you. Remember, the treasure chamber door is closed. Those foreign races cannot get out, and they cannot open the treasure chest. I believe they will eventually choose to teleport away via their God Kingdom. Once they leave, arrange for one of you to quietly retrieve the treasures from that treasure chest!" "This is the most perfect outcome. If other foreign races arrive, immediately use the spatial channel to enter the God Kingdom and destroy the spatial channel." "Have a backup plan." "Pue, my brother, Latimo, Menbu, my children, the future of the clan is in your hands. Forgive my evasion..." The voice faded. Pue, Latimo, and Menbu couldn't help but cry. These Immortal Divine Spirits, who survived the clan's annihilation, had supported each other for billions of years, and their bonds had long become incredibly deep. Qiu Chika was like an elder brother, always protecting the clan. "You are not evading, Third Brother, you are not evading. You are just too tired, too tired, and need rest." Pue murmured, while Latimo and Menbu beside him were already sobbing uncontrollably. For the sake of the clan, their elder Qiu Chika... had fallen...
