Chapter 266: Obtaining the Ancient Key, Mysterious Space
Killing Chen Mu was an insignificant task for Lin Yan.
After all, Lin Yan had already reached the Triple Nirvana level, and his true combat ability had always far surpassed his level.
Therefore, not even warriors at the Quadruple or Quintuple Nirvana levels could intimidate Lin Yan.
Under these circumstances, Chen Mu, a mere Single Nirvana warrior, was as fragile as an ant in Lin Yan's eyes.
Originally, Lin Yan planned to move forward, but suddenly, a ball of light appeared in the center of the large hall.
Seeing the ball of light, Lin Yan frowned. He thought it was the ancient key he was looking for, but before he could act, the ball of light suddenly vanished, and the key inside it turned into fragments.
As these key fragments floated towards each statue in the hall, the entire hall suddenly trembled, and cracks appeared in the previously smooth floor.
Rumble!
After a loud noise, the statues on the walls seemed to break a seal and slowly rose. With blood-red eyes, they emitted a powerful energy wave, matching that of Nirvana warriors.
Seeing this, everyone in the main hall was stunned. Their mouths were wide open.
Lin Dong and the others were left speechless, their eyes fixed on the statues in front of them, and then they said fearfully, "This energy! Nirvana! And it looks like there are more than ten of these statues! That means there are more than ten Nirvana experts here!"
Meanwhile, Lin Yan simply smiled disdainfully and, with a quick movement, appeared behind two statues. A punch with his "Thunder God's Fist" struck these two statues.
Boom!
After a loud noise, the two large statues shattered, causing the entire hall to shake again. Seeing this, Lin Dong and the others were amazed.
"Tai Chi Explosion!"
Before Lin Dong and the others could react, Lin Yan moved again behind four other statues and launched another attack that destroyed them.
Seeing that more than half of the statues disappeared in an instant, everyone, including Lin Dong, was impressed by Lin Yan's power.
"Devouring Fire Sea!"
With another move of the large axe in Lin Yan's hand, a large wave of bluish-gray fire crashed into the remaining statues, burning all vegetation and leaving cracks in the walls.
As the wave of fire moved faster and faster, the remaining statues were swallowed by it, and when it disappeared, mounds of cracked rocks appeared in their place.
After all the statues were destroyed, a bright beam of light appeared among them, and within that beam of light, an object resembling a key could barely be seen.
"That's the ancient key!"
Lin Dong and the others shouted excitedly upon seeing the object under the beam of light.
As Lin Dong said it was the ancient key, Lin Yan felt excited and moved towards the object.
Xiao Diao, hearing Lin Dong mention the appearance of the ancient key, instantly appeared in front of him with a look of great excitement on his face.
When Lin Yan heard Lin Dong say it was the ancient key, his eyes lit up seeing that key-like object, and he quickly moved towards it.
Tap tap tap...
After a few steps, Lin Yan successfully arrived in front of the key-like object.
At that moment, the old medicine man, who had been inside Lin Yan all the time, cried out excitedly upon confirming that the object before them was indeed the ancient key: "This is really the ancient key! Young friend, quickly keep it with you."
With the old medicine man's voice echoing from within, Lin Yan nodded and then reached out to grab the ancient key.
But just as Lin Yan grabbed the key, a powerful energy burst forth, pushing back the people around him. However, Lin Yan, holding the ancient key, was not affected at all.
A pillar of light extended from the ball of light and quickly enveloped Lin Yan, and in an instant, Lin Yan's figure mysteriously disappeared before the terrified eyes of Lin Dong and the others.
With Lin Yan's figure gone, the pillar of light began to shrink visibly. At that moment, a ghostly figure rushed towards the pillar of light, and upon entering, the pillar of light disappeared completely.
...
When his body vanished, Lin Yan clearly felt a sense of dizziness spreading from deep within his mind, and everything around him turned dark.
This sudden change startled Lin Yan, but it didn't last long. The darkness before him suddenly broke, and what appeared before his eyes was a faint light.
In that light, there was an extremely wide plaza. This plaza was made of black rocks, radiating a sense of antiquity and depth. However, Lin Yan's gaze didn't stop on these black rocks, but on the center of the plaza.
At the center, Lin Yan saw a figure sitting on the ground. Seeing the figure that appeared suddenly, Lin Yan tensed a bit, and as he slowly approached, he realized that this figure had already lost its life and turned into a skeleton.
Lin Yan's gaze swept over the skeleton, and he was surprised to see that it was quite well preserved. If not for the lack of life, anyone could have mistaken it for a living person.
At this moment, Lin Yan saw that the skeleton was holding a yellowed key in its hand. Carefully observing this key, Lin Yan was surprised to discover that it was quite similar to the one that appeared in the main hall.
Looking at the yellowed key in front of him, Lin Yan immediately thought that this must be the real ancient key.
Just as Lin Yan was about to reach for it, a woman dressed in red appeared in front of him and said with a smile, "Could you give me that, young man? Please?"
Hearing these words from the woman in red in front of him, Lin Yan chuckled dryly and then said coldly, "I can't."
Seeing that Lin Yan had no intention of giving up the ancient key, the woman in red pulled out a whip and struck at him.
Lin Yan, seeing the whip coming towards him, jumped and easily dodged the attack. Seeing that the attacks of the woman in red were easily dodged by Lin Yan, she tried to hit him several more times, but still couldn't touch him at all.
While Lin Yan took advantage of these dodges, he successfully managed to return in front of the skeleton. Then, he looked at the woman in red and said, "Sorry, but I will take this!"
As he spoke, Lin Yan grabbed the key without hesitation and then moved back.
