Crackling sounds incessantly filled the air, and Duan Gujin saw the platform he was standing on rise unbelievably.
Moments later, he witnessed at least a hundred giant stone blocks, triggered by a mechanism, swiftly shooting upward into the sky.
Boom, boom, boom!
The giant stones shot out with great speed, piercing through the top of the palace's ceiling and shattering the upper layer of the entire palace.
Seeing the blue sky above, Duan Gujin guessed that the palace must have risen from the ground.
"What incredible speed!"
Duan Gujin's expression drastically changed as he pondered what treasures might burst out from beneath the entire palace soon.
The crackling sounds continued, and after a while, he saw that he was now standing high up, looking down at Xiao Yueyue and others.
Previously, Xiao Yueyue and the others felt a severe earthquake coming from the ground and immediately retreated; they knew that the underground treasury was likely triggered by Duan Gujin.
Next, they saw a massive crack appear on the ground, and a circular building slowly rose from the crack.
Everyone speculated that this circular building was probably the treasure of this place.
After a while, they saw the top of the circular structure being penetrated by one giant square stone after another.
When the top of the building was breached, they saw Duan Gujin standing on a platform.
People immediately thought that the circular building must have been triggered by Duan Gujin, who must have also found the treasure of this place.
Many looked at Duan Gujin with eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment, yet no one present rushed to forcibly stop the building.
Everyone knew that if Duan Gujin had not decisively acted earlier to capture the leader here, they all would have been trapped here for life, dying one by one in this place from diseases, old age, violence, or overwork.
Despite many warriors once having the cultivation of the Martial Emperor Realm, years of torment had severely weakened them, and even after a day's recovery, they knew they were not strong enough.
While Duan Gujin stood puzzled on the platform, looking around, he couldn't quite understand and couldn't predict how things would unfold next.
After a while, a stele slowly rose from the platform.
After reading the text on the stele, Duan Gujin immediately gasped in shock.
"So all the treasures inside this Array are destined for the Jiuzhou Continent!"
He had never anticipated such a conclusion, which completely overturned his previous understanding.
When the stele finally rose completely, a piece of blue stone appeared at the bottom of the stele.
The stone, about the size of his fist, was picked up by him, and he introspected it with his Divine Sense.
After a moment, his eyebrows furrowed deeply.
"What kind of material is this Green Stone? Why is it so bizarre?"
If it weren't for the stele indicating that activating the Array would reward a supreme treasure, he would have thought this Green Stone was just an ordinary stone.
He checked around but found no other items nearby.
"Could it be that I just get such a stone after activating the Array?"
He looked around and noticed that the eyes of the surrounding martial artists were all turning towards him.
He immediately shouted loudly, "Everyone, get ready for battle now! In a moment, the array here will be activated! Once this array is activated, all the treasures inside will rush towards Jiuzhou Continent! The Forbidden Space Power ahead will completely disappear!"
Upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, the group of martial artists below immediately made preparations for battle.
Moments later, a loud bang was heard, followed by countless white lights shooting out from beneath the palace.
The crowd had been paying attention to the palace, so they saw everything that happened inside it very clearly.
Beneath the palace, there were many huge stones, and as the array activated, some of the massive stones surged out rapidly, while others fell directly into the deep pit below the palace.
Following that, numerous fine white lights flew out from the palace.
Though these fine white lights were small in size, nearby martial artists could clearly see that they were various Dark Weapons.
"Excellent!"
Duan Gujin had previously told them that those white lights were speeding towards Jiuzhou Continent.
Thus, the group of martial artists below immediately flew into the sky to chase after those white lights.
With their Divine Sense extended, they saw that there was no longer Forbidden Space Power in the air ahead.
Just now, the martial artists had seen those white lights explosively shooting out from the palace and continuously flying forward, indicating that there should be no Forbidden Space Power ahead.
If there was still Forbidden Space Power ahead, those Dark Weapons wouldn't have been able to fly out.
The group of martial artists followed the direction of the Dark Weapons, speeding ahead and disappearing from sight soon after.
Duan Gujin had previously seen the Stele, which stated that those treasures belonged to Jiuzhou Continent and were to be returned to it.
Therefore, upon the activation of this underground treasury, all the treasures within it were to fly to Jiuzhou Continent.
As for who would ultimately get those treasures, the builders of the palace would no longer care about this issue.
To those builders, it was sufficient that all treasures in the palace returned to Jiuzhou Continent.
Clearly, the builder of this palace did not want the Devil Clan here to obtain those Dark Weapons.
Before the Dark Weapons were shot out, there were still significant defensive forces surrounding the palace, preventing people below from rushing up, and Duan Gu could not go down immediately either.
Once the Dark Weapons were shot out, all the arrays in the entire palace completely failed.
Duan Gu took this opportunity to come down from the high platform, found Xiao Yueyue, and then slaughtered all the Devil Clan leaders behind her, before rapidly flying towards the direction from which the Dark Weapons had been shot.
They were very clear in their minds that they would definitely encounter various Demon Beasts on the way.
But the situation was urgent now, and he could no longer worry about that.
Nearby Demon Beasts saw the faint lights in the sky and the Human Warriors.
Some flying Demon Beasts then pursued them, but earlier, the Human Warriors had already discussed strategies; they were rushing forward in groups, ready to counter-attack their pursuers if possible, and if they couldn't retaliate, they could only lament their bad luck.
If some did not turn back to counter-attack their pursuers, others could not blame them.
After all, this was a life-and-death moment, where powerful Devil Clan and Demon Beasts were everywhere; escaping was their top priority.
