Chapter 646: Chapter 485: The Sealed Gate, Entering the Treasure Vault (Part 2)

The activation of Heaven-Burning Purgatory requires preparation; during a battle with experts, your opponent naturally won’t give you time to prepare, using it rashly might instead create a fatal flaw for yourself.

Zhuge Yu heard this, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: “After all, we are one, can’t do without each other.”

“That’s right!” Taishi Feng laughed heartily, “Being able to witness the true power of the Ten Great Guns, and taking on such challenging trials together, this relic expedition was worth it!”

Huo Yuansheng nodded as well, a smile appearing on his face.

The battle earlier with the Ice Qilin was risky, but in the end, not only did they succeed in passing, they also witnessed the divine might of the Ten Great Guns, which was a rare experience for them.

Qin Tian looked at the candid smiles of the three, a warmth surged in his heart.

He chuckled, saying, “The Ice Qilin has been dealt with, let’s proceed to the next stage.”

The group nodded, their gazes simultaneously turning towards the towering ice-sealed gate in the distance, eyes full of anticipation.

After overcoming two tough trials, their curiosity about the treasures within the Ice God Treasure Vault grew stronger.

Passing through the Gate of Space, a towering ice palace suddenly appeared before the four.

The entire palace was carved from millenary Profound Ice, the palace walls soaring dozens of meters high glowed with a sacred ice blue light, the walls densely engraved with complex Ice God Race runes, with faint coldness flowing between the patterns.

At the center of the palace, a giant door also forged from Profound Ice was closed, the door panels extremely heavy, the surface runes were of the same source as the previous ice stele and stone gate, evidently the final entrance to the Ice God Treasure Vault.

“Finally here!” Taishi Feng couldn’t help but exclaim, having passed two stages, endured the puppet blockade and life-and-death battle with a Tier Seven Spirit Beast, all exhaustion seemed to vanish upon seeing the treasure vault door.

The four quickly stepped forward, and Zhuge Yu was the first to reach out, his fingertip gently touching the door panel.

A cool sensation was transmitted, without any energy fluctuations, nor triggering any restrictions.

“Looks like simply touching it is not dangerous.” He withdrew his hand, nodding to the group.

Taishi Feng, unable to hold back, stepped forward, pressing both hands on the door panel, exerting force explosively.

But the giant door remained motionless, as if fused with the entire ice palace.

Unconvinced, he urged golden Spiritual Energy, veins bulging on his arms as he streamed Spiritual Energy into the door panel, but the door still stood firm like a mountain, not even a sliver of gap appeared.

“Everyone, let’s push together!” Qin Tian called out upon seeing this.

All four stepped up simultaneously, infusing Spiritual Energy into their arms, pushing fiercely against the door panel.

“Boom—” the giant door lightly shivered, runes on the surface of the Profound Ice flickered with a glint of light, yet there was still no sign of opening. After pushing for a while, the foursome had spent considerable Spiritual Energy, but the door remained resolutely unmoving.

“This door is too solid!” Taishi Feng wiped sweat off his forehead, suggested, “How about we just use our weapons to smash it open?”

“No.” Zhuge Yu immediately shook his head, pointing at the runes on the door panel, “Look at these patterns, they’re the Ice God Race’s restriction demon pattern, forcibly breaking it might trigger the guarding restriction inside, light we lose the treasure vault, heavy we all get trapped in here, consequences unpredictable.”

Taishi Feng’s brows furrowed: “Then what should we do? We can’t just stand here and watch the treasure vault right in front but can’t enter, can we?”

Zhuge Yu rubbed his chin, his gaze flitting between the door panel runes and the surrounding environment, he spoke slowly: “Let’s guess the thoughts of the Ice God Race. What’s their core purpose in building the treasure vault?”

“Obviously to leave behind a legacy, preserve valuable treasures for future generations.” Taishi Feng blurted out, Huo Yuansheng also nodded in agreement, this was a self-evident answer.

“Since that’s the case, they certainly hope only their own people, or someone capable of inheriting the Ice God Race’s will can enter, right?” Zhuge Yu continued guiding, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

The eyes of Qin Tian and the other two widened simultaneously, instantly realizing his meaning.

“A Yu, are you saying that the key to opening this door is using the Ice God Race’s power?” Qin Tian asked.

“That’s right.” Zhuge Yu nodded, “The restriction demon pattern on this door likely requires pure Ice God Race energy to activate. The reason we couldn’t open it by pushing with Spiritual Energy earlier was due to the incorrect energy attribute.”

“But none of us are from the Ice God Race, nor do we have a Spiritualist with ice attributes on our team!” Taishi Feng showed a difficult expression.

“It doesn’t necessarily require an ice attribute Spiritualist.” Zhuge Yu raised his hand, taking out a bronze Array Plate, injecting Spiritual Energy from his fingertips, “My Spirit Gathering Array can absorb the surrounding chill and convert it into pure Power of Ice, we can give it a try.”

The group had their eyes lit up, collectively stepped aside to make space for Zhuge Yu.

Zhuge Yu placed the Array Plate in front of the door, quickly formed hand seals, the plate suddenly bursting into cyan-golden light, one after another array patterns spread along the ground, forming a Spirit Gathering Array with a diameter of ten meters.

The chill in the surrounding space was absorbed into the array like a tide, condensing at the array’s center into a dense ice blue energy ball. As the cold continued to flow in, the energy ball grew larger, the Power of Ice it emitted became increasingly pure.

“It’s working!” Zhuge Yu shouted lowly, manipulating the ice blue energy ball, slowly surging towards the restriction demon pattern on the door panel.

The instant the energy ball touched the runes, they suddenly lit up with an ice blue glow, resonating with the energy ball’s pulsation, the entire giant door began to tremble slightly, even revealing a tiny crack on the door panel!

“It’s effective!” The group was overjoyed, hope ignited in their eyes.

Zhuge Yu dared not slacken, pushing his Spiritual Energy to the limit, the Spirit Gathering Array operating at full peak, continuously converting chill into Power of Ice to inject into the door panel.
