Lord Death Is Now Back Home by Chris

Chapter 1231: The Ninth Palace

Boom! Boom! Boom! The battle grew increasingly fierce, with dust and debris flying everywhere. Countless trees were snapped in half or uprooted entirely. Even a small hill was flattened in the intense fighting. The combat reached a fever pitch as all the cultivators unleashed their most powerful moves. The danger was immense; a single misstep could mean death.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!" The saber-toothed tiger let out several angry roars, already gravely injured. Despite its strength, it couldn't withstand the combined attacks of the cultivators. Realizing it would surely die if the fight continued, the tiger turned and fled without hesitation, disappearing into the forest within seconds.

Everyone stood stunned, exchanging bewildered glances. No one had expected the once-mighty saber-toothed tiger to suddenly flee. However, seeing it escape brought a collective sigh of relief. The tiger's strength was formidable; continuing the fight would have resulted in significant losses for them.

Turning around, they approached the altar and discovered ten treasures placed around it. Each item radiated a dazzling light, clearly not ordinary artifacts.

"These are divine weapons!" Peterson Abernathy exclaimed in surprise upon closer inspection. In martial arts, treasures are ranked, with divine weapons being the highest tier. These weapons are forged from special materials and can enhance the user's power. Finding ten divine weapons here was astonishing.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes gleamed with greed. Divine weapons were extremely rare in this world. Even the Abernathy family possessed only one, held by Nathaniel Abernathy and seldom used unless absolutely necessary. Divine weapons could significantly boost one's strength, making them highly coveted.

Soon, a mad scramble ensued as everyone rushed to seize the divine weapons. Chris Shelby was the first to act, grabbing a golden longsword that exuded a powerful aura. Peterson Abernathy chose not to contest him for it but instead reached for a large blade that looked incredibly sharp and indestructible. Daniel Williams managed to secure a suit of soft armor made from celestial silk, both lightweight and impervious to weapons. Tiger grabbed an iron hammer so heavy it created a crater when struck against the ground-perfect for his preference for brute force weapons.

All ten divine weapons were quickly taken, leaving many empty-handed. Luck played as much a role as strength in securing these treasures. Devil's Frown looked particularly displeased since he had proposed coming to Jefferson Village but ended up with nothing.

Chris Shelby smiled and said, "Now that everyone has what they wanted, let's move on. The next palace should contain the Dragon Emblem scroll."

"Yes, there's no need for further cooperation," Daniel Williams suddenly attacked Chris Shelby with his sword while shouting, "Mr. Abernathy, now is our chance! If we don't kill Chris Shelby now, when will we?" Peterson Abernathy hesitated briefly but then decided to join in. "Kill Chris Shelby!" he roared, charging at Chris Shelby with his sword in hand.

Simultaneously, members of the Abernathy family and Daniel

Williams' followers launched their assault on Chris Shelby. Despite being outnumbered, Chris Shelby remained unfazed; he had

alliance had always been temporary due to the dangers of the House of Rainstorms.

With the Dragon Emblem scroll so close, Daniel Williams and Peterson Abernathy saw their chance to eliminate Chris Shelby, whose strength posed a significant threat to their plans.

"Bring it on Chris Shelby shouted as

he clashed with Peterson Abernathy and Daniel Williams. Meanwhile, Tiger fed his royal guards against their adversaries in a fierce battle where lives were lost continuously.

Despite their combined efforts, Chris Shelby held his ground against Peterson Abernathy and Daniel Williams both formidable opponents in their own right. However, he didn't want to waste time; obtaining the Dragon Emblem scroll was his priority.

"Tiger," Chris Shelby commanded, "ignore them and head to the entrance of the next palace!"

"Yes!" Tiger responded loudly and led his royal guards towards the ninth palace's entrance. Despite fierce resistance from their enemies, Tiger's forces broke through due to their previous heavy losses. Soon after, Tiger and hundreds of royal guards charged into the ninth palace. Seeing this, Chris Shelby smirked at Daniel Williams and Peterson Abernathy before saying, "I'm done playing with you."

In an instant, Chris Shelby vanished into a blur and disappeared into the ninth palace's passageway before his opponents could react.

"Damn it!" Both men cursed as they watched him disappear but quickly regrouped their forces and followed him into the ninth palace without hesitation.
