Chapter 483: Chapter 473: If You Look Up, All You See Is One Towering Mountain!

Staring at the white compass in his hand shattering into tiny fragments, Gao Renying’s mind went blank, his head buzzing.

Gone...gone?!

How long has it been?

By this time, those thirty-six should have just met that River Guardian, probably just made contact.

In other words, they were instantly defeated?!

"Instantly defeated..." Gao Renying said, dazedly.

"What?"

"What do you mean instantly defeated? Brother Dao? What on earth happened?" the dwarf shadow asked urgently.

"Those thirty-six were instantly defeated by the River Guardian," Gao Renying replied.

Upon hearing this, the dwarf shadow’s pupils contracted sharply, his body stiffened, almost losing his balance, nearly falling into the river.

"Impossible!"

"How much time has passed? Not even half a stick of incense!"

The dwarf shadow certainly knew the strength and background of those thirty-six individuals, even if the River Guardian was strong, he couldn’t be...strong to such an absurd degree!

Moreover, the River Guardian’s greatest advantage was the ability to manipulate the "River of Time."

But now, he was trapped within a barrier, far from the River of Time, unable to manipulate it, meaning he had completely relied on his own brute strength to slaughter those thirty-six like fish!

"Brother Dao...didn’t they know the true purpose of this mission?" the dwarf shadow inquired of Gao Renying.

"They knew."

"What the lord instructed them was to prioritize ’trapping,’ focusing on ’defense,’ to delay that River Guardian as much as possible, gaining more time."

"There’s only one possibility, which is that they couldn’t withstand a single move from that River Guardian."

After listening to Gao Renying’s words, the dwarf shadow involuntarily swallowed a gulp of saliva.

Couldn’t withstand a single move...

What terrifying strength!

.....

"This is bad!"

The dwarf shadow suddenly thought of something important, "That treasure in the tomb, isn’t it going to be lost?!"

Upon hearing these words, Gao Renying’s expression also changed drastically, "No! That thing cannot be lost, once it falls into someone else’s hands, it’s truly bad."

"If the mission fails and we lose that thing, we both will be hard-pressed to evade blame."

The two were so anxious they were flushed, but there was no way they could intervene, the thirty-six couldn’t withstand a single encounter, and if they went, they’d just be offerings on a platter.

"Right, aren’t those two guys guarding the tomb?" the dwarf shadow remembered something.

Upon hearing this, two small figures flitted through Gao Renying’s mind, "You mean the Barrier Beasts?"

"Right."

"Then there’s no problem, if the Barrier Beasts are guarding the tomb, then nothing will go wrong."

Gao Renying breathed a long sigh of relief.

With the Barrier Beasts’ defensive capabilities, even if they attacked for hundreds of years non-stop, they wouldn’t break through the Barrier Beasts’ defenses.

Furthermore, the Barrier Beasts, having undergone several "baptisms," had also evolved, their defensive power maxed out.

"Brother Dao...are you sure there won’t be a problem..." the dwarf shadow worriedly said.

The River Guardian possessed the terrifying battle power to instantly defeat those thirty-six, could the two Barrier Beasts really hold him off?

"Trust me, there won’t be an issue."

"This is bad!"

"We need to hurry and inform the lord!"

Gao Renying slapped his forehead, nearly forgetting what he came to do.

"Right, right!"

"Let’s hurry!"

Saying so, the two vanished from above the River of Time, heading to a certain time and space.

Meanwhile, in the Iron Wall Space.

Su Mu’s gaze was locked onto the stone gate.

What surprised him was that his Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate through this stone gate.

In the entire Iron Wall Barrier, only the space behind the stone gate blocked his Divine Sense.

With the intensity of his Divine Sense, could it still be blocked by this tiny stone gate?

This piqued Su Mu’s curiosity, he began to walk step by step toward the stone gate, wanting to see what was hidden behind it.

Just as Su Mu approached the stone gate, the two little guys in front of the gate suddenly leaped up, uncontrollably blocking Su Mu’s path, a scepter drawn close, creating a transparent barrier between them and Su Mu.

Seeing these two guys, he raised his eyebrows.

These seemingly harmless little things turned out to be Guardian Beasts?

Because their auras were so weak, Su Mu had ignored their presence.

Unexpectedly, the constructed barrier appeared quite solid.

At this moment, the Iron-Eating Beast came over and recounted everything to Su Mu.

Upon hearing this, Su Mu nodded thoughtfully.

It seems these seemingly harmless little guys are called "Barrier Beasts."

From the Iron-Eating Beast’s introduction, he also roughly understood the origin and background of the "Barrier Beasts."

During the early evolution of the Ten Thousand Realms, a "Origin Boundary Stone" was born, one of the ten Primordial Divine Stones, possessing formidable defensive capabilities.

It is said that later, a great figure of the Ten Thousand Realms obtained it, using the "Boundary Stone" to guard one world, which then became the most stable world among all worlds in the Ten Thousand Realms.

Later, after a "Great Destruction Event," that world shattered.

The "Boundary Stone" then disappeared without a trace.

Later, over countless eras and changes, the "Boundary Stone" gradually developed sentience, splitting into two as "Barrier Beasts."

After learning the identity and background of these two little things from the Iron-Eating Beast, his eyes lit up.

Seemingly harmless, weak, yet quite noteworthy in background.

...

"Esteemed senior, please leave quickly."

"We are also driven by circumstances."

The Big-Eared Barrier Beast said to Su Mu.

To be able to instantly dissolve the trap laid, it indicated the immense strength of the man before them.

Yet, even so, it still didn’t believe this man could break through their barrier defense.

For so many years, except for that "lord," no second person had ever broken their barrier!

But it didn’t dare offend this man either, so it could only dissuade them to leave.

After hearing the Barrier Beast’s words, Su Mu noticed an invisible chain flickering across the feet of these two Barrier Beasts.

Such a powerful restriction!

This high-level restriction left Su Mu in awe, wondering who laid it...

It must be the mastermind behind the scenes...

In response to the Barrier Beast’s dissuasion, Su Mu had no intention to leave.

The main reason was that he wanted to see what treasure lay hidden behind that stone gate.

Being tricked left and right, at the very least, he needed to make the enemy bleed heavily once, right??

With this in mind, Su Mu operated his Cultivation Technique, his aura erupting, as he also wanted to see just how strong the Barrier Beasts were!

Seeing this, the Iron-Eating Beast and the Little Groundhog tactfully stepped back; they too wanted to see whether their master could break through the Barrier Beast’s defenses!
