”I only asked the High Priest about the secret behind the Eyes of the Gods. Why did he give me this metal box? What does this all mean?”

Wang Chong carefully examined the metal box under the light of the candles. It was dull and gray, appearing to have been made from the crudest iron. There was nothing interesting about it.

But Wang Chong quickly turned his focus to the small finger-sized crystal attached to the top of the box, the only thing that had drawn his interest. This crystal exuded a dim glow.

Just what did the High Priest mean with this?

Wang Chong's mind was in turmoil. He had tried multiple methods and had attempted to send in Stellar Energy through multiple directions, but the box remained unresponsive. Wang Chong had also tried to use Psychic Energy to probe inside, but the moment he sent it in, it would come out the other side as if the box was just empty air.

After making several dozen fruitless attempts, Wang Chong put the matter aside.

Buzz!

A few moments later, just as Wang Chong was preparing to put the metal box aside, something strange happened. The crystal on the box suddenly exploded with light, blinking jade-green.

”This is…”

Wang Chong's eyes widened as his mind cleared up. As he suspiciously inspected the box, whoosh! A gust of wind blew in.

Wang Chong didn't notice anything at first, but a moment later, he smelled a light fragrance in the air.

Wait! Something's wrong!

Wang Chong's heart trembled as he immediately covered up his nose and mouth. Wang Chong had sensed a strange odor in this gust of wind, not something that could normally be expected in regular wind. Another breeze swept in, but this time, Wang Chong was able to spot several green grains within it.

Poison!

Wang Chong finally understood. Bzzz! Stellar Energy erupted from his body, quickly engulfing him. The candles flickered while the crystal on the metal box in Wang Chong's hand began to flash even more intensely.

More and more green fog began to pour into the room, seeping in through the cracks in the steel house. In a few short moments, the room had become a sea of green.

”Move!”

There was a hoarse cry from outside, and then the door banged open. A figure wearing a black metal mask flew in like a bolt of lightning, somersaulting in the air as it flew toward Wang Chong.

”Hmph!”

Wang Chong coldly snorted. Fwoomp! The candles on the table immediately went out as he turned a palm toward this man in black. Bang! The two palms met, and an enormous attractive force exploded from Wang Chong's body. The black-masked man immediately felt his energy surging like a river into Wang Chong.

”Not good! He's not poisoned at all!”

Beneath the mask, the black-clothed man's eyes were brimming with shock.

”Hurry and get in here!”

Clothes flapped through the air as more people approached. While Wang Chong was suppressing this black-clothed man, two other black-clothed people grasping swords flew through the air like ghosts and approached Wang Chong from the left and right.

Wang Chong grinned. Clap! With his palm, he threw the first man aside, shooting him into a steel wall like a cannonball and embedding his body into it.

At the same time, the two other black-clothed men hit Wang Chong's Stellar Energy as if it was a steel barrier and became incapable of advancing any farther. Boom! Wang Chong's Stellar Energy exploded, sending both of the stunned men flying like they were ragdolls.

These people did not have weak cultivation and were assuredly elite assassins, but at Wang Chong's level, only Great General experts could pose any threat to him.

But it was still far from over. After sending the two men flying, Wang Chong raised his head in alarm.

Rumble! Without any warning, the ceiling and roof of Wang Chong's metal house were hurled into the air by an invisible energy. Immediately after, a figure descended, its aura like a gigantic ocean.

Boom! Wang Chong's eyes chilled as he raised his palms overhead, clashing them with the palms of the descending figure. Winds exploded as a thick violet-black flame shot toward Wang Chong.

This fire ignited Stellar Energy, causing it to hiss, and trails of flame as thin as tree branches flowed along Wang Chong's Stellar Energy and into his body. Plumes of black smoke immediately began to rise from his body.
