”The princes are so strong!”
”It is our country's blessing that the princes have such amazing power!”
”The Eldest Prince's skill art 'lashing the waves' is simply wonderful!”
”The Second Prince is not weak either, his skill art 'breaking through manifestations' totally destroyed the ancient armored puppet!”
”The Third Prince has the strongest power, look at his 'explosive hammer blast'!”
”The Eighth Prince should be the strongest. He's taking on two puppets at one time and has withstood three hits so far without shedding any blood!”
...
Many people scrambled to flatter the prince that they were supporting!
Booommm!
Suddenly, a deafening sound was heard that seemed to come from deeper inside the tombs. That sudden ruckus made everyone descend into silence!
Everyone stayed quiet. They were puzzled and looked at the passageway that led to the deeper tombs with uneasiness!
The noise had been very loud and it made a lot of people feel dismay and fear.
A magnificent aura could be felt from the depths of the tombs, followed by heavy, constant sounds of something knocking against the ground!
Stomp!
Stomp!
Stomp!
Every time the heavy sound was heard, it was as if a hammer was mercilessly dealing a blow to everyone's hearts.
Everyone was shocked; the several princes were appalled too. They quickly dealt a finishing blow to the puppets that they were engaging with and retreated to the back.
”What's that thing?”
”Could it be that new ancient armored puppets are coming out?”
”But it can't be. There has never been such an event in the previous contests!”
”This aura somehow doesn't feel right!”
”We are just dealing with the third wave of the ancient armored puppets. Come on, there shouldn't be anything new at this point?”
”Did someone accidentally activate a trap or something?”
Everyone was increasingly perplexed by the unforeseen situation.
Outside the Imperial Tombs, the Metal Emperor and the crowd were taken aback as well.
From the Heaven and Earth Mirror, they could clearly see and feel what was happening. They could also feel the reverberations of the sudden deafening sound and the mighty aura, as if they were also inside the burial chamber as well!
”This is bad, such aura, it's the golden puppet that appears every 100 years!” exclaimed the Metal Emperor who suddenly thought of something. He suddenly stood up with a flabbergasted expression. ”Quick!” the Emperor shouted abruptly to the old eunuch. ”End this contest and get them out of there!”
”Ah? Your Majesty, it's… it's too late now,” the old eunuch replied in a terrified manner. ”The restrictive enchantment has blocked all the entrances. Nothing can get inside now. We can only wait for them to come out!”
”This is abominable! The golden puppets only appear every 100 years. The last time they appeared was 30 years ago. Why did they appear again?”
The Empress Dowager inside her divine chariot spoke calmly, ”do not worry, my son. The golden puppet moves slowly, so once they see them, they'll quickly retreat!”
...
The crowd started to create a commotion.
The golden puppet that the Emperor had spoken of… they had heard of it before.
That was the strongest obstacle in the Imperial Tombs and would only appear every 100 years!
The golden puppets were seven-star magical weapons. There were over a hundred of them and they were extremely sturdy. They were equivalent to Infant Transformation Stage cultivators.
The cultivators inside the burial chamber were all in the Original Infant stage. Even if they had their six-star magical weapons, they wouldn't stand a chance against the golden puppets!
”This is bad!”
”How did this happen?”
”Maybe something has happened to the restrictive enchantment and released the golden puppets?”
