Lord Death Is Now Back Home by Chris novel Chapter 1226

Chapter 1226: The Giant Stone Statues

Cultivators above the Grandmaster realm fared better. However, those at the Grandmaster level could not withstand the onslaught of hundreds of ancient soldiers. If this continued, it was uncertain how many would survive.

Suddenly, Chris Shelby shouted, "I found the formation eye! This killing array has many formation eyes; we must break them all. The formation eye for these ancient soldiers is on that ancient general."

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed. Not far away stood a figure wearing armor distinct from the surrounding soldiers. Clearly, this was the ancient general.

Seeing this, Peterson Abernathy and Daniel Williams quickly charged forward. After a fierce battle, they killed the ancient general. Meanwhile, Chris Shelby discovered another ancient general and swiftly killed him as well. One by one, Chris Shelby and his team broke several formation eyes.

When the last formation eye was destroyed, all the ancient soldiers vanished. The massive palace fell into an eerie silence. Despite this, no one dared to relax their guard. They had a premonition that the killing array was not entirely broken. What awaited them could be even more dangerous.

At this point, fewer than ten thousand people remained on site. Peterson Abernathy had brought ten thousand elite members of the Abernathy family; now only around five thousand were left. Daniel Williams also brought ten thousand men, but only four thousand survived. Chris Shelby brought a thousand royal guards, and now only about eight hundred remained.

Each side suffered significant losses. Nearly half of their forces had perished along the way. Now, those who survived were mostly cultivators above the Grandmaster realm, with a few at the Transcendence level.

Despite such heavy sacrifices, they still had not reached the ninth level of the tomb. No one dared to move recklessly because they sensed an impending danger.

Chris Shelby took a deep breath and said to everyone, "If I'm right, we still face one final terrifying killing array. This array has three attacks; we've broken two so far. This last attack..."

Chris Shelby didn't finish his sentence. Since he began studying formations, he had never encountered such a formidable killing array.

Hearing his words, everyone's faces turned grim. How many would survive this final attack? What kind of danger awaited them?

For a moment, no one dared to take another step forward. But what had to come would come eventually.

Chris Shelby took two steps forward, followed closely by Tiger and others. He turned back and saw Peterson Abernathy and Daniel Williams still hesitating.

"Let's go! Staying here won't help. Our only option is to unite. If we want to obtain the Dragon Emblem fragments, we must be prepared to pay a price!"

Hearing Chris Shelby's words, Peterson Abernathy and Daniel Williams fell silent. They knew he was right-they were all in this together. Only by uniting could they successfully navigate through the killing array. Otherwise, more people would die, making the path ahead even tougher.

Moreover, everyone here was after the Dragon Emblem fragments. Those who made it this far had faced countless life-and-death situations. If they were afraid of death, they wouldn't have such strength today.

Soon, Peterson Abernathy and Daniel Williams joined them. They were now only a hundred meters from the end of the palace.

But then everyone stopped because they sensed several extremely dangerous presences nearby.

Chris Shelby stood at the front and saw it most clearly-neatly arranged statues lay ten meters ahead. These statues were all made of giant stones, emanating terrifying auras.

There were ten statues in total, each nearly three meters tall.
