The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2236 Terrifying Pressure

The passage where the five of them were located was extremely wide.

On the dome of the passage, every ten feet, there is an inlaid bead emitting soft light.

These beads are like stars in the night sky, illuminating the entire passage as bright as day.

Matthew looked at the beads, his heart full of doubts.

He had never seen such strange beads before. Judging from the light emitted by the beads, this thing must be extraordinary.

The light was pure and soft, unlike any ordinary light source, and seemed to contain some mysterious power.

"After I finish my work, I'll get some of these beads back with me."

Matthew stared at the beads, muttering to himself.

Matthew was thinking in his mind, but without stopping, he walked towards the passage.

His steps were steady and firm, as if he had no fear of the unknown ahead.

With every step he took, he carefully observed his surroundings, not missing any details.

When the four beast kings saw Matthew walking forward, they all followed him.

They did not walk side by side with Matthew, but followed him tacitly.

Their eyes were full of awe, and now they had an instinctive submission to Matthew.

The mystery surrounding Matthew made them dare not slack off in the slightest.

The passage is not absolutely safe. There is a depressing atmosphere in the air, as if danger may come at any time.

However, Matthew had already established a subtle connection with this space through his cultivation and control of the luck of the Mangcang Treasure Pavilion.

He could clearly sense the existence of every restriction in the passage, and could even temporarily suppress the power of these restrictions through the flow of luck.

Matthew walked steadily, his eyes were sharp, and every step he took was extremely calm.

He raised his hand and waved it lightly, and a faint force of luck condensed at his fingertips. As he moved, complex runes vaguely emerged on the walls on both sides of the passage. Those runes originally flashed with dangerous light, but under Matthew's control, they gradually dimmed and finally became completely silent.

The restriction was temporarily closed, and the oppressive feeling in the passage dissipated.

However, Matthew did not let his guard down.

He knew that although these restrictions were temporarily ineffective, their core power was not destroyed, and once he left, the restrictions would be activated again.

The four alien beast kings behind him followed closely. Although they were powerful, they still seemed vulnerable in front of these ancient restrictions.

Matthew had to ensure they passed safely before he could move on.

The passage is not long, but every step is full of unknown dangers.

As Matthew walked, he carefully sensed the changes around him.

He could feel a powerful force surging at the end of the passage, which was the entrance to the core area.

However, he also knew that although the light shield outside temporarily blocked the demons' attack, given the demons' strength, it was only a matter of time before the light shield collapsed.

Matthew secretly calculated in his mind that once the light shield was broken, the demons would quickly pour into the passage.

And this passage is the only way to the core area.

If the demons are allowed to pass through smoothly, the consequences will be disastrous.

Therefore, he must make use of the restrictions in the passage as much as possible to delay the demons' advance before the light shield is broken.

Thinking of this, Matthew quickened his pace.

He must find the core of the ban and activate it completely within a limited time.

Only in this way can we maximize the power of the ban and stop the attack of the demons.

As he went deeper, the atmosphere in the passage became more and more oppressive, and more runes began to appear on the surrounding walls. These runes flashed with dim light, as if warning intruders.

Matthew knew that these runes were the core of the ban, and only by controlling them could he truly control the power of the ban.

He stopped and quickly formed seals with his hands. The energy of luck in his body surged out like a tide, resonating with the runes in the passage.

As he manipulated them, the runes gradually lit up, emitting powerful energy fluctuations.

Matthew could feel that the power of the ban was gradually awakening, and the entire passage seemed to have turned into a huge trap, waiting for the arrival of the demons.

The four alien beast kings behind him felt this power and couldn't help but stop and look around vigilantly.

Although they could not understand Matthew's actions, they instinctively felt that this force had no ill intentions towards them, but was protecting them instead.

Matthew took a deep breath and continued walking forward.

He knew that the power of the ban had been activated, and next, he only had to wait for the arrival of the demons.

But before that, he must enter the deepest part of the core area as soon as possible.

At the end of the passage, a huge stone door slowly opened, revealing the deep space inside.

Matthew stepped in without hesitation, and the four beast kings followed closely behind him.

As they entered, the stone door slowly closed, the restrictions in the passage were restarted, and the runes flashed dangerously again.

Behind the stone gate, the view suddenly opens up and what comes into view is an extremely huge cave.

The scale of the cave was far beyond Matthew's imagination. It was like a naturally formed palace with a dome towering into the clouds. The surrounding rock walls were inlaid with countless crystals emitting soft light, illuminating the entire cave like daylight.

However, this bright light did not bring any warmth, but instead made people feel a biting cold.

The moment Matthew stepped into the cave, he shivered involuntarily.

The chill did not come from the outside world, but surged from the depths of his soul, as if an invisible force was spying on him, causing him to feel a palpitation.

The four alien beast kings behind him also felt this strange aura. Their faces instantly became solemn, and their eyes flashed with vigilance.

The four beast kings looked at each other, and then released their aura without hesitation.

Their aura condensed like substance, transforming into four streams of light that quickly attached to Matthew's body.

Matthew only felt a warm force surging into his body, instantly dispelling the coldness and making his mind much more stable.

At this moment, an extremely terrifying pressure suddenly came from the center of the cave.

The pressure was as heavy as a mountain and as deep as an abyss, as if it could completely crush a person's soul.

Matthew's expression changed slightly, but because he was protected by the aura of the four alien beast kings, he was not greatly affected.

He took a deep breath and looked firmly in the direction where the pressure came from.

In the center of the cave, a huge oval stone stands there.

The stone was about 20 to 30 feet tall, and its surface was covered with dense runes, each of which emitted a faint light.

The air around the stone seemed to become distorted, as if even space could not withstand the power it emitted.

Matthew's eyes were fixed on the stone, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

He could feel that the terrifying pressure was coming from inside the stone.
