Apotheosis

These level eleven beasts really were so much more powerful than Zen had imagined. He was fortunate enough because with his high speed, he was able to get rid of the purple mineral-devouring bugs. Jumping away, he fell straight into the ring of light at the bottom of the tree. The moment his feet touched the ring, he was worried that the bugs would chase after him and exit the pyramid in their pursuit. If they really managed to come out of the pyramid, how were the Virtual Tribulation Realm warriors going to fight against them?

Thankfully, the bugs were unable to catch up to Zen, and when they discovered that there were a few other humans digging on the tree, they surged towards them like a tornado.

Callan was completely immersed in mining in the 27th layer when he suddenly heard loud noises. He raised his head and his expression immediately changed.

"Wh-what the hell are those things?" He blankly stared at those large purple-colored bugs which were rushing down rapidly.

"Ahhhh! Help! Help me!" Not too far away from Callan, a divine-level talent was caught by a purple mineral-devouring bug and was immediately tossed into the air.

When warriors left the leaves, they were pulled downwards by a massive gravitational pull even stronger than the Earth's. However, a single purple mineral-devouring bug was able to completely cancel out that gravitational pull and throw a warrior into the air. One could imagine just how powerful the creature was!

"Help me!" Other than instinctively calling for help, the warrior wasn't left with much to do. The bug was simply too powerful.

After the warrior was thrown into the air, the other bugs immediately surrounded him. They stretched out their slender feet and began to tear him apart.

Mineral-devouring bugs only ate ores to survive and weren't concerned about human flesh. This meant that by tearing their prey apart, they were simply torturing him in a cruel streak of fun.

How could the body of a Virtual Tribulation Realm warrior withstand the tearing attacks of several level eleven beasts? The warrior's screams and cries for help came to an abrupt stop after only a few seconds. Immediately after being grabbed, he was torn into pieces, and the bloody confetti from his corpse fell towards the bottom of the tree.

When the other warriors, including Callan, saw this, their faces turned pale instantly. After witnessing such a dangerous event, even a fool would know that he had to run for his life. Everyone jumped off and dashed towards the bottom of the tree.

Outside the pyramid, the vast majority of warriors weren't even aware that such a fatal change had occurred. Most of them were still busy trading their ores or bargaining with Camilla.

The number of supreme life vitality crystals that she had gathered had already reached around 70, 000!

Such a number of supreme life vitality crystals was enormous, even for a crown prince of a divine kingdom, who would consider this a large amount of money. In each of the four divine kingdoms' national treasuries, normally about 200, 000 to 300, 000 supreme life vitality crystals were stored. But in just about nine hours, Camilla had already earned around 70, 000 supreme life vitality

ng either. I'm going to scavenge through garbage too!"

"Yeah. Let's go. It's better than throwing our lives away here!"

A lot of warriors were filled with righteous indignation when they heard this. They walked around the pyramid in groups of three or five and headed in another direction.

Only then did Randy walk over with a wry smile. "Thad, did you really lure the purple mineral-devouring bugs down just now?" he asked.

Zen nodded. There was nothing he could do except admit to what he had done.

"How many?" Randy didn't care about the life or death of the other warriors. Moreover, the warrior who had just died wasn't from the Harlen Divine Kingdom which meant that he cared even less. The death of that divine-level talent could only be considered as his own bad luck.

"I think there were five," Zen replied.

Randy was rendered speechless.

Zen had been able to lure five purple mineral-devouring bugs at once. The most surprising thing was that this fellow was able to escape unharmed. For a while, Randy didn't know what to say.

"I advise you not to enter the pyramid again, Thad. The 40th layer is too dangerous. If you get surrounded by five or six purple mineral-devouring bugs, then I'm afraid you won't be able to escape either!" Randy advised.

Zen shook his head slightly without any hint of hesitation on his face. No matter how dangerous it was inside the pyramid, he simply had to go in!

Randy also knew that Zen was stubborn. He couldn't persuade him, so he said nothing more.

"Why were they talking about scavenging through garbage? What were they talking about?" Zen asked Randy before he ventured inside again.

"Scavenging through garbage?" Randy smiled. "They are going to scavenge through the trash of this place to find some weapons which were not cursed. Perhaps they'll do so in the abandoned arsenal. This place is known as the Feather Emperor Secret Land. It was originally a mine belonging to the Dragon Lineage Human. There were numerous weapon refiners of the Dragon Lineage Human who once came to this island to refine weapons. Among them, the most famous one is the Feather Emperor."
