“Men!” Xain shouted.
Immediately, a group of disciples from the Sacerdotal Sect appeared before him.
Then, he ordered, “All of you, charge at the golem.”
“Wh-What?”
They froze.
Upon seeing a powerful cultivator being annihilated, they were not confident in passing through the golem.
“There’s nothing to be afraid of. There’s no way you can’t pass with so many of you going together!” Xain ordered.
“Understood.”
Hearing that, they were at ease. Immediately, they headed toward the golem, while Xain followed close behind.
The others did not act recklessly but observed the situation instead.
When they arrived a few meters away from the golem, the disciples summoned all their strength and rushed toward the golem at great speeds.
At that moment, the golem moved. Then, it waved the sword in its hand, annihilating those who dared approach.
Meanwhile, Xain seized the opportunity and passed through the golem as his disciples were being annihilated, thereby becoming the first to pass the first barrier.
Upon seeing this, realization dawned on the crowd’s faces.
“Let’s move together!”
“Charge!”
…
At that moment, many charged toward the golem. Soon, thousands upon thousands were scrambling to pass the first barrier. Some were annihilated, whereas others slipped through the golem’s grasp.
Upon seeing this, a chill ran down James’ spine. It was too bloody a scene.
However, the Celestial Abode was indeed a priceless treasure. As long as an opportunity presented itself, they would throw their lives away at a moment’s notice.
As they passed the first barrier, they slowly pressed on.
Meanwhile, James and Marcello were at the furthest back.
Marcello whispered, “The next few barriers shouldn’t be too challenging. There’s no need for us to rush things. Once we reach an impassable barrier, we’ll resort to the other option to obtain the Celestial Abode.”
James glanced at him and said coldly, “You’re stronger than I am. Once we annihilate everyone, I won’t stand a chance against you anyway. Wouldn’t that make you the owner of the Celestial Sect?”
Marcello smiled and said, “No worries, James. I promise I won’t turn against you when everyone else is dead. Besides, as long as I can have the Celestial Abode for myself, I promise there’ll be benefits for you as well.”
“Should I trust you?”
James smiled faintly.
He could not bring himself to trust Marcello. Even then, he was silently contemplating the ways to have the Celestial Abode for himself.
