At this moment, Aogules resembled a raging drill, accompanied by dazzling golden light. The ground trembled and cracked, and within a short time, Aogules had penetrated the bottom layer of the treasure land, delving underground for thousands of meters!
From a distance, the land seemed to be boiling like hot water, endless sand and dust were stirred up, forming tornadoes that tore apart everything visible to the naked eye. As a heaven's chosen level soul puppet, Aogules was exerting himself to the fullest; a simple charge created a terrifying disaster akin to the end of the world.
Until there was a loud “bang!”
Aogules' iron head collided with a hard Barrier...
At this moment, the celestial god, as the master of the soul puppets, connected to Aogules' perspective, allowing him to clearly see that blocking Aogules was a semi-entity radiating silver light.
It was called a semi-entity because what lay before Aogules was composed of metallic silver and seemed to be a substantive energy Barrier transformed from pure energy.
However, the celestial god did not wish to delve into the nature of this object; he simply spoke slowly.
“Resolve it, quickly…”
Thus, a more ferocious attack erupted.
One could see Aogules take a simple stance, raise his right fist, and with an angry roar, this fist, the size of a large pot, violently struck the unknown Barrier in front of him. Accompanied by a harsh screeching sound, the Barrier initially recessed inward, as if trying to absorb all incoming attacks. However, the overwhelming force emanating from Aogules' punch was like a surging river, relentless and unending. Under such an intensity of attack, the Barrier continued to cave in until it reached its limit, at which point it exploded into countless silver fragments.
Finally, a passage that extended straight into the ground appeared before the six heaven's chosen level soul puppets.
…
“Bang!”
At this moment, bathed in golden light, Aogules stepped forward, entering the passage. His thick soles stomped on the steel passageway, producing a deafening explosion.
With Aogules at the forefront, the six heaven's chosen level soul puppets surged forward like an indomitable war chariot, carrying an overwhelming momentum that seemed ready to crush everything as they charged deep into the underground passage.
Treasure Land No. 8564 was not large, and correspondingly, the underground fortress built by Fran and others was also small. At this moment, Aogules and his companions dashed forward with all their might and, in less than two seconds, had reached the end of the passage.
Strangely, there were no traps or mechanisms along the way. Just as Aogules began to suspect if this was also an illusion technique, he saw the target of their mission…
And that low but exquisite unique building!
The building was a clock tower—less than ten meters tall, with a giant clock hanging at the top.
One could see countless runes shimmering on the clock's face, with dim flowing light cascading down, illuminating the entire underground with a pure white glow. At this moment, Fran stood at the very top of the clock tower.
The old man leaned on his staff, dressed sharply in a suit and tie, looking neat and tidy, just like during the first sequential ranking battle. At this moment, Fran’s face was flushed, and he looked down at Aogules and the other six, a smile finally appearing on his aged face.
“I've been waiting for you for a long time…”
His voice echoed from all directions, and Aogules merely squinted. In the next instant, golden light roared upward!
This golden light transformed into a light sphere, quickly rushing towards Fran. The space around the light sphere cracked like a mirror, and the steel structures underground rapidly vaporized in the presence of the golden light. The terrifying heat of the light sphere resembled a newly born star, instantly obliterating the entire underground space!
Even from a distance, Wen Yu could feel the destructive power of Aogules—a force that could annihilate the world. The sand and stones crystallized, the air ignited, and countless waves of heat erupted chaotically, generating faint blue ionization. With just one move, Treasure Land No. 8564 had become a complete zone of life restriction!
