Chapter 113: Titan’s Quake
"He's gone up there!"
As Timothy stepped onto the path of bones, Aria froze in place.
The disciples from Cloud Pavilion Sect beside her, along with representatives from various factions who had stopped in their tracks, were all dumbfounded.
If it weren't for the horrific scene before them, Timothy's actions might have been understandable.
But now, even the formidable practitioners from Ocean's Gate were deeply ensnared, their spiritual resolve on the verge of complete collapse. How could Timothy dare to continue walking into this?
The path of bones offered no retreat, only forward.
Timothy's journey was akin to seeking his own demise!
"Sister Aria, Brother Timothy has entered the path of bones, what should we...?" Aria's fellow disciple asked in a panicked rush.
"We...
We should just wait here and watch Brother Timothy..." Aria's lips were pale as she watched Timothy's receding figure, lacking any courage to follow him.
Being in such dire straits might have given her a chance to get close to Timothy, but she simply didn't have the courage.
Setting foot on the path of bones was almost akin to seeking death.
Even if she wanted to save face and catch Timothy's attention, she wouldn't dare gamble with her own life.
Even the Undead Sanctuary had not seen anyone cross this path for thousands of years,no one believed it was truly possible to succeed here.
"Sister, that woman went too!"
Just then, everyone suddenly noticed that the mysterious woman in a black robe had also stepped onto the path of bones.
Her robe fluttered with the scent of blood, and each step she took seemed effortless, as if she harbored no fear at all.
Timothy, and now this woman in black—what kind of monsters had come to this forbidden place today!
For a moment, everyone stared in disbelief at the scene unfolding before them.
Beneath his feet, the path made of sword-shaped bones made Timothy acutely aware that with each step, the chilling cold grew denser.
By the time he stepped on the fifth bone, the sensation had sharply increased.
"Roar."
In an instant, a howling wind blasted past his ears.
A gray, bloody stench wafted through the air, seemingly filled with the souls of countless tormented spirits.
These spirits, in agony, screamed and howled, struggling to break free and swarm towards Timothy.
At the same time, an endless surge of malevolent energy pressed down from the sky, burdening Timothy with every step as if he were carrying a massive weight.
Such terrifying pressure was unbearable even for a Mystic Core practitioner.
"Activate the Diamond Indestructible Form."
As the words fell, a light enveloped Timothy, and moments later, his entire body was covered in a golden, hard shell.
This majestic golden armor seemed impervious to the wailing spirits, completely resisting their assaults.
Having crossed the sixteenth bone, Timothy reached out and threw a practitioner from Ocean's Gate who was trapped on the path of bones back to safety.
"Thud."
Deep footprints were imprinted on the bones, and the oppressive force around him grew even more terrifying.
Even the seemingly indestructible armor began to show faint cracks.
Twenty bones!
When Timothy crossed the twentieth bone, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes in disbelief.
If practitioners from Ocean's Gate could only make it to the tenth bone, how on earth did he manage this?
"And that girl behind him..." Aria stared in disbelief at the figure in the black robe.
Although the woman hidden beneath the black robe was following Timothy, Aria could clearly feel it.
Facing the path of bones, laden with endless lethal traps, the woman in the black robe seemed even more at ease than Timothy.
Who exactly is she, and why does she have a connection with Timothy?
"Boom."
At the same time, accompanied by a heavy sound.
Timothy had stepped onto the thirtieth bone, the endless chilling winds bringing a terrifying weight. This step shattered the bone beneath him.
Although the distance Timothy had covered was beyond anyone's imagination, many suddenly noticed.
The golden shell covering Timothy was completely failing, with cracks increasing and nearly shattering completely.
It seemed that even the seemingly indestructible golden armor was about to lose its effect.
Watching the golden fragments gradually falling off, Timothy didn't hesitate to shake his body, shattering the golden armor completely and scattering it on the ground.
Instantly, it was as if a switch had been flipped.
In the blood-red, foul wind, countless tormented spirits opened their claws and teeth, emitting either tearing laughter or miserable cries, endlessly and innumerable, rushing towards Timothy.
They seemed determined to knock him down, tear him apart, devour his flesh, drain his essence, and completely consume him right there!
"Activate the three meridians of the Ancient Saintly Body!"
Suddenly, flames blazed around Timothy, emitting an intensely hot temperature.
More importantly, a colorless, murky mist began to float up.
This chilling, mysterious air stopped the approaching spirits in their tracks, not only halting their advance but also causing their bodies to continuously dissolve and vanish.
The spirits that had intended to tear Timothy apart were shocked to see their own forms beginning to disappear.
In an instant, they were terrified, desperately trying to break free.
But the spirits soon realized they were firmly held by an invisible hand.
As if caught in an inescapable net, they found nowhere to hide.
"Boom!"
The spirits surrounding Timothy suddenly dissipated, and even the eerie oppression of the Grim Expanse's secret realm significantly weakened.
"Holy Maiden, are you alright?" Timothy calmly looked back at Holy Maiden Aeliana, clearly feeling that she was somewhat struggling.
"As long as you, Brother Timothy, are alright, I'm fine.
But if you're tired, maybe we could chat for a bit to relieve the fatigue before continuing."
Holy Maiden Aeliana smiled charmingly, her voice soft and enticing.
"Then I shall humbly comply."
Timothy stopped moving forward, walked over to Holy Maiden Aeliana, and applied a highly skilled massage technique to a key pressure point on her shoulder.
A twist, a turn, a press.
"Ying."
Accompanied by a very soothing, gentle moan.
Holy Maiden Aeliana, who had been feeling a bit strained, suddenly felt much better.
This surprised her a little.
What kind of mysterious method was hidden in Timothy's seemingly ordinary massage technique that it could even affect her Holy Emperor body?
[Successfully massaged Holy Maiden Aeliana into moaning and caused her astonishment.
Reward obtained: Titan's Quake]
With one step, the host can produce a majestic and destructive tremor like that of a titan, capable of shattering the ground.
As the system voice fell, Timothy became even more fearless.
"Boom."
Timothy stepped forward, and the bones beneath his feet shattered with a crash.
With the second step, the ground trembled ceaselessly.
With the third step, in front of him, only the last three steps remained!
