Julius Reed had never heard of Ten Thousand Gods Cave.
Even the Dusty Platform was a place Julius Reed rarely visited.
If it weren’t for the Dusty Platform being affected by Demarco Mount, compromising interests here, prompting a coalition wanting to eliminate Julius Reed, he would never have bloodwashed the Dusty Platform.
He previously did not know that the true master of the Dusty Platform was Ilia Danvers.
Nor did he realize there were such mysteries underneath.
Thus, atop the Dusty Platform, after Julius Reed eradicated the martial artists opposing him.
He opted to leave.
Not continuing to investigate the Dusty Platform.
At that ti, his greatest enemy was Osher Reed, along with the temple that erged from underground.
But until now, the temple erging from the ground had shown no anomalies.
Instead, Ilia Danvers and others had beco a hidden threat.
Julius Reed surveyed the surroundings but did not see Pruitt Wilde.
Presumably, Pruitt Wilde must have entered already.
Julius Reed did not hesitate, directly stepping inside.
Heavenly gods and Buddhas, vanquished with a single sword.
He even ventured into divine realms, what was there to fear?
Stepping into Ten Thousand Gods Cave, it was pitch-black inside, only faintly perceiving the glow behind.
The entrance was narrow, accommodating at most two people simultaneously.
Inside, it was dark and damp.
A musty sll pervaded everywhere.
As he ventured deeper, the light grew dimr.
Soon the light faded entirely, engulfed in darkness.
Tap.
Julius Reed continued walking, noticing that what he stepped on felt different once the light dissipated.
A nacing, oppressive atmosphere continually assailed him.
Constantly vigilant, his ears listened keenly to the surrounding sounds.
Holding the sword in hand.
Yet, all around remained silent.
No footsteps could be heard.
"Pruitt Wilde." Julius Reed called out, unafraid of being targeted, nor worried about attracting attention.
As long as anyone dared approach, Julius Reed was confident in utterly dispatching them!
The fear lay in the enemy huddling in darkness, waiting for them to expose a fatal flaw, ready to strike.
Julius Reed would never simply wait for doom.
He unleashed his spiritual power, intending to sense the surroundings.
But the spread spiritual power was like an ox drowning in the sea, yielding no aningful information.
Seemingly artificially, preventing spiritual power from perceiving anything.
Inside Ten Thousand Gods Cave, for the first ti, Julius Reed felt blind.
And his call received no reply.
"Sothing is amiss! This feeling is familiar." Julius Reed furrowed his brow slightly, suddenly recalling a similar sensation when entering the temple’s interior before.
However, at that ti, it was Green Snake veiling eyes.
Having exited the divine realm, would Green Snake still be like this?
What of White Tiger and Barbaric Ox?
Reflecting on this, Julius Reed focused, tapping the sword’s blade with a single hand.
Buzz!
A sound emanated.
Still, no effect.
Here, it seems it should be dark, should be unseen.
Enemies lurk in shadow while he is in light.
Considering this, Julius Reed checked his phone, illuminating the screen.
Still couldn’t see!
This was indeed bizarre.
Julius Reed was surely blinded.
He sensed that Green Snake and White Tiger remained motionless, and even the later Golden Barbaric Ox was docile.
Apparently, it’s not a divine beast causing mischief.
But why is this?
Having just entered Ten Thousand Gods Cave, seeing nothing, he plunged into darkness.
The flashlight couldn’t see anything, let alone minor phone accessories.
Silence.
Inside Ten Thousand Gods Cave, seemingly Julius Reed was alone.
"Hah!"
Julius Reed took a deep breath and vanished from the spot.
Reappearing, still the oppressive feeling, and the boundless darkness.
Despite efforts, Julius Reed erged again in the sa physical state.
This showed employing Green Snake’s strength couldn’t escape the current predicant.
Julius Reed reached out a hand, finding nothing.
The surroundings held only air.
Attempting to retreat, Julius Reed discovered the path behind vanished unknowingly.
Julius Reed extended his hand, letting evil qi seep from the Dragon King Ring into his eyes.
Curiously.
The mont evil qi entered his body, Ten Thousand Gods Cave’s layout began to clarify.
Julius Reed’s position was an entrance, rely the exit behind had shifted five ters.
Exactly this five ters could potentially trap soone fatally.
On the wall ahead, nurous holes were carved.
Above, divine statues were enshrined.
So had spirit tablets, so bore none at all.
Deathly aura and evil qi clashed, Julius Reed veered towards using evil qi.
He surveyed around and noticed Shadow Kims in a corner, equally afraid to move.
The only one freely moving was Ilia Danvers.
He seemingly could see everything, treading lightly throughout.
Unimpeded.
Julius Reed stood, continuing to feign blindness.
Ilia Danvers quietly approached him, yet not ready.
After a few steps, seemingly worried about noise exposure, Ilia Danvers held his breath.
Unmoving.
Awaiting opportunity.
Shadow Kims appeared to see things too.
For Shadow Kims had an excellent position, unobstructed, desolate around.
Julius Reed looked again.
Not far off, Pruitt Wilde was suspended.
In a comatose state.
Shadow Kims and Ilia Danvers continually conferred, seeking the fastest solution.
If delayed, unpredictably Ten Thousand Gods Cave may stir trouble, nobody could say.
"Is anyone here?" Julius Reed spoke again, pretending blindness.
"Seems this blinding magic indeed is potent. It can actually blind him." Shadow Kims exclaid.
In their maiden venture, nearly perishing inside.
By sheer chance, they uncovered so of Ten Thousand Gods Cave’s secrets.
This might not belong to the outside world, nor to the temple’s domain.
More like a no-man’s-land.
Here, countless gods were enshrined.
Each god possessed a spirit tablet.
At first glance, it was eerie.
Even Julius Reed felt a penetrating chill.
This was not ordinary cold, but internal frigidity emanating from the soul.
"Blind eyes, deaf ears." Ilia Danvers hesitated, uncertain if Julius Reed truly couldn’t see or hear.
But soon, they believed.
For first-ti visitors here couldn’t see entirely unless with gilded eyes.
Covering eyes with gold was rely the beginning, a step against blinding magic interference.
Next, it was necessary to seal off the ears.
The duo chatted without concern, assuming Julius Reed heard nothing.
"Pruitt Wilde was dealt with upon entering, but this Osher Reed, still be cautious." Shadow Kims leaned against stone walls, speaking with effort.
Pruitt Wilde charged in recklessly, ending up trapped nonetheless.
Whereas Julius Reed remained cautious, they found it tricky to strike.
"We’ll wait." Ilia Danvers suggests prudence, opting for continued observation.
During this lapse, Julius Reed glanced at nearby spirit tablets.
Each inscribed with nas, life details, and titles.
Suddenly, Julius Reed recalled the folk legends of the Investiture of the Gods.
Might this be related to the temple?
Yet seemingly, these people had died ages ago already.
As for how they died, it was simply noted, no elaborate ntion.
"Strike." Ilia Danvers, lightly assessing, abruptly rose to ambush!
