However, the Black Flame Python has an advantage.

It can move.

As for whether it’s a loss or gain, that’s subjective.

At this moment, Shen Yun pondered, "So those ancient weapon blueprints from the Dwarf Race originated like this."

Everyone suddenly nodded in understanding.

"Brother Xing, now that we’ve defeated the final BOSS, can we leave?" Cheng Jianyong asked.

Han Xing nodded, "Yes, let’s go."

After he spoke.

He led everyone out of the loot room.

And at the spot where the Black Flame Python died, a purple teleportation gate appeared.

A voice broadcast came on.

"This relic challenge is complete, challengers please exit 13th relic through the teleportation gate..."

Just as everyone was about to step into the teleportation gate.

Han Xing suddenly noticed.

The position displayed on the mini-map.

[13th Relic 14th Floor...]

Han Xing instantly stopped.

"Wait a minute."

Hearing his voice, everyone turned back to look.

"What’s wrong, Brother Xing?" Cheng Jianyong asked puzzledly.

Han Xing said, "When we were outside earlier, we saw the appearance of this relic."

"It looks like an inverted triangle."

"This relic clearly has several more layers below."

"Why does it end here?"

Everyone realized something at that moment.

"Brother Xing, you mean there are more layers below we can explore?" Cheng Jianyong asked.

Han Xing nodded, "It’s very possible."

Everyone scanned the surroundings.

"But, hasn’t there always been a passage to the next floor before?"

"There’s no passage here, though?" Shen Yun puzzled.

Han Xing said, "There isn’t."

"Let’s not leave yet, let’s search this floor first."

The team members nodded in agreement.

Then, they split up and began exploring.

A few dozen minutes later.

The 14th floor was almost thoroughly explored by them.

But, they still didn’t find the passage.

At this moment, Shen Yun suddenly said, "Brother Xing, there’s something here, come take a look."

Everyone gathered towards Shen Yun’s location.

Here.

In a corner of the 14th floor.

A broken machine appeared in front of them.

Cheng Jianyong curiously asked, "Xiaoyunzi, isn’t this just a broken machine? What’s the issue?"

Shen Yun pointed, "Look below."

Everyone focused their gaze on the ground.

Underneath the machine, there was a faint mark of an underground passage gate.

The team members’ eyes lit up instantly.

"Wow! The passage was hiding here all along!"

"Seems like someone deliberately placed a machine here to block it," Cheng Jianyong exclaimed.

Han Xing nodded.

Then.

He directly pushed with force.

The heavy machine was pushed aside.

In front of them appeared a strange array inscribed with mysterious writings.

At this moment.

An alarm sounded.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

"Challengers, please note, you have touched a forbidden area of the 13th relic, please stop attempting, leave the 13th relic immediately."

Listening to the alarm ringing in their ears.

Everyone’s expressions turned odd.

However, this also indirectly proved they found the right place!

At the same time, the attributes of the array appeared before them.

[Underground Passage Gate]: Defense Value 500,000, with an Advanced Divine Power Barrier.

"Advanced Divine Power Barrier, what is that?" Shen Yun asked puzzled.

However, Cheng Jianyong nonchalantly said, "Whatever it is, I’ll slash it with my sword and find out!"

With that said.

Cheng Jianyong slashed out a sword qi.

"Swoosh!"

However.

The sword qi landed on the gate, causing a burst of blue energy waves.

Moments later.

His sword qi dissipated without a trace.

As for the gate.

Not even a white scratch appeared.

The 500,000 Defense Value didn’t decrease at all.

At this moment, Cheng Jianyong was dumbfounded.

"What the heck, not a single point off its Defense Value?"

"This thing, is so terrifying?"

Han Xing thought for a moment, analyzing, "It’s probably because of that Advanced Divine Power Barrier."

"If we don’t disable the barrier effect, we can’t damage the passage gate."

Everyone fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Within the ancient ruins.

Their divine power couldn’t be utilized.

And this Advanced Divine Power Barrier was clearly set by a Demigod, or even above Demigod Level presence.

With sheer force, there’s no hope of breaking it.

Shen Yun regretfully said, "Seems like the previous existence anticipated someone would be curious and explore the layers below."

"So they set up countermeasures in advance."

"Even the Dwarves probably haven’t explored here."

Han Xing nodded.

Just as everyone was about to give up.

Han Xing suddenly thought of something.

He remembered that the Giant Beast’s Spike he got had the [God-Breaking Spike] effect.

[God-Breaking Spike]: The tail spike contains strong laws of divine power, with the Absolute Forbidden Break effect, can pierce the divine power domain of Low-tier Divine Spirits and below.

Han Xing’s eyes lit up instantly.

Then, he directly took out the Giant Beast Tail Spike from his backpack.

In an instant.

A giant ’silver needle’ several hundred meters long appeared suddenly.

The moment this tail spike appeared.

Everyone felt a terrifying tearing sensation across their bodies!

For a moment, blood seeped from their pores.

Even Han Xing wasn’t much better off.

But he gritted his teeth, lifted the Giant Beast Tail Spike, and fiercely stabbed at the passage gate.

"Pop!"

With a sound like a bubble being popped.

Han Xing quickly put the Giant Beast Tail Spike back into his backpack.

The tearing sensation all over disappeared.

At this moment, the entire relic blared with a harsh alarm.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"Your actions have seriously violated the taboos of the 13th relic, please stop immediately! Stop immediately!"
