Chapter - 3246

Behind the large door, darkness enveloped everything, resembling a gaping abyss that devoured anything daring to approach.

Inside, a suffocating scent of decay lingered, making Zeke's heartbeat accelerate.

As he neared the entrance, it finally responded.

A force emanated from within, pushing Zeke back.

Gritting his teeth, Zeke resisted the pressure with great difficulty.

However, the further he advanced, the stronger the repulsive force became.

When he was just five meters away, he couldn't move forward even an inch.

At that moment, the intense repulsive force stripped off Zeke's hair and skin, nearly bursting his eyeballs under immense pressure.

Yet, his mysterious power remained dormant.

Left with no choice, Zeke drew upon his life force, using the last bit of strength to inch forward, hoping to awaken the mysterious power within him.

If he couldn't activate it again, he had no other options.

Thankfully, the mysterious power finally awakened, countering the repelling force.

The pressure on Zeke lessened considerably, allowing him to stride forward three or four steps in one breath.

Edurne and the others watched, their eyes sparkling with surprise.

They never expected Zeke to make it that far.

Even their clan leader, Callan Kush, only managed to get within three meters of the entrance.

Zeke, now three meters away from the door, continued moving forward relentlessly.

Tanner voiced his suspicion, "Edurne, I can't shake the feeling that this guy is deceiving us. His strength is definitely greater than that of a Celestial Class."

Alta added, "Hmm, I'm almost certain his strength is not far off from our clan leader's."

Cullen asked, "Edurne, what do you think his real intentions are for getting close to us? Is he after the treasure we possess?"

Edurne replied, "One thing we can be sure of is that he's hiding something from us. He's not as simple as he appears. As for his strength, haven't you noticed? The power he's using now isn't his own; it comes from another source."

Tanner nodded. "Hmm, it must be some kind of power bestowed upon him by the Gods."

Alta sighed. "The heir apparent of the Gods is truly exceptional. Wherever he goes, he carries the God Emperor's counterpart and some mysterious power."

Edurne cautioned, "Everyone, stay alert. Mr. Hayes will likely enter the ancient archaeological site. When the time comes, let's see if we can seize the opportunity to enter as well. You all understand the significance of venturing into the ancient archaeological site."

The members of the Kush Clan eagerly anticipated their chance.

Their excitement was indescribable.

Entering the ancient archaeological site meant receiving immense legacies and opportunities. It was even possible for their strength to reach Eternal Class.

Once they achieved Eternal Class, they could act with impunity everywhere, including the Secret Realm of Mount Kush.

Looking back at Zeke, they saw he was only a meter away from the door.

One meter was just a half-step away.

With that half-step, he would receive a significant boost.

Everyone's hearts raced, hoping Zeke could take that next step.

At the same time, they sought opportunities to share in Zeke's glory, hoping to accompany him into the ancient archaeological site.

However, at that moment, Zeke froze, struggling to take another step.

The previous battle with the God Emperor's consciousness counterpart severely impacted his mysterious power. Even at full strength, coupled with Zeke's raw power and the assistance of Draco and Bianca, their combined strength barely matched the repulsive force released from the door.

With time, he would inevitably exhaust himself and be pushed back, wasting all his previous efforts.

I can't accept this. I just can't!
