Chapter 1117: Lion’s Roar, Fatal Thread

Happy slowly turned around in the dark hall and faced the two balls of blinding light that were like the will-o’-the-wisps in the darkness .

The astonishing in the Buddha statue forced him to temporarily stop his plan of continuing to get the silver treasure box . He frowned a little, narrowed his eyes, and sized up the Buddha statue a few times .

Compared to its previous solemn and dignified appearance, once the Buddha statue changed, it turned into a mechanical monster that released a grim and violent presence . Its eyes were locked up on him, and it gave off a pressure that only those who were superior would give off to those who were inferior .

But that was all to its changes . Even though the Buddha statue gave Happy a strange sense of danger, it did not do anything else . It only stared at him coldly while he stood at the center of the hall, and it was like a wild beast that was lying in ambush and was accumulating strength to hunt its prey .

But Happy did not dare to treat the Buddha statue with slight .

The huge net of chains at the fourth level of the treasure house was already dangerous enough that it could easily kill a Myth Realm martial artist . This Buddha statue also did not appear to be a normal object .

Thud… Thud!

Happy solemnly and slowly walked near the Buddha statue, but strangely, as the distance between them shortened, the sense of danger became much weaker .

The will-o’-the-wisps were just two huge, red gemstones serving as the Buddha statue’s eyes . It was just sealed into its eye sockets using a unique material . It was terrifying when he stared at it in the dark while he was further away from it . Due to the distance and the atmosphere in the room, it became incredibly terrifying .

But that ruthless presence did not weaken in the slightest .

Happy observed it carefully for a moment before he noticed that the huge Buddha statue that was more than thirty feet tall seemed as if it had been cast in steel . Even if he used Recondite Steel Heavy Sword against it, it was very difficult for him to deal any clear damage to it . When he saw this, he did not even know what he should say anymore .

He just felt that there was a mysterious and dangerous element surrounding the Buddha statue, and it caused him to feel uneasy .

But if he wanted to destroy this huge thing, he would need at least half a day to do so . Perhaps he could destroy a certain, small, external part of the Buddha statue .

Yet Happy knew that he did not have much time to waste .

He turned around, and Happy could only temporarily squash down the uneasiness and puzzlement in his heart to cast his attention on the silver treasure box high in the air once more .

The difficulty in this treasure house increased once more .

By now, Happy was even more certain that the item contained in the silver treasure box was not normal, and he was even more curious about the box . The urge to unravel the secret with his own hands grew in his heart .

‘No matter what you are, I’m getting that treasure box . If the Buddha statue tries to stop me, I’ll destroy it . ’

Happy cast the Buddha statue a glance through the corner of his eye . He stepped against the floor, and a powerful hidden force swiftly crushed a stone tile . Two shattered stone tiles flew into the air and landed automatically in Happy’s palm .

He did not stop in the slightest .

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two rather large stone tiles were sent flying in the air at lightning speed one after another . A sword glare swept at then, and Happy rose into the air .

The entire process was done in one single fluid motion . His speed was faster and more decisive than before .

If anyone else were beside Happy right now and saw this scene, they would find it incredibly familiar when they saw Happy’s expression, because Happy had the same expression when he faced Evil Emperor the second time . His gaze was calm, cold, and confident .

Thud! Thud!

At the same time he jumped up, Happy did not ignore the changes in the Buddha statue in the air . He multitasked . While he observed the actions from the Buddha statue, he stepped on the stone tiles and got to a spot that was 131 feet high in an orderly fashion . He quickly drew near the huge net with iron chains and the silver box .

When he saw less than 16 feet away from the net and the box, Happy quickly cast a glance at the condition of the silver box .

One of the four thin and exquisite chains had already snapped . However, the other three iron chains binding it from three other directions still bound the silver box tightly, and it showed no traces of shifting in position .

Whoosh!

He activated Full Winds in Long Skies and Sun Finger .

Since the Buddha statue did not move, Happy would naturally not miss the chance . He used his strongest attack and swiftly attacked . The milky-white finger-generated wind took shape in the air .

When the full power of the fourth realm Full Winds in Long Skies exploded forth, it did not lose to the power of a casual hit from those who were One with the World .

Powerful spiritual energy from the world surged into the finger-generated wind and snapped the second chain on the spot .

*****

“ROAR!”

However, just when Happy charged into the fourth level and attacked, the Buddha statue that had not moved even a single time suddenly opened its mouth, and the roar that was like those of a lion who just woke up swept toward Happy like a tornado sweeping across countries .

This was the Buddhist’s Lion’s Roar!

But this was much stronger than the Lion’s Roar that Shi Huasheng used . The qi wave seemed as if it had substance . It created a circle-shaped impact in the air and instantly went for Happy’s face like a cannonball .

Boom!

He was airborne, and the powerful sound wave from Lion’s Roar crashed violently into Happy’s body like a bulldozer . He grunted, and his true origin aura was unable to block the Lion’s Roar that came from the Buddha statue . His body trembled, and he crashed violently against the wall before he plunged down to the ground from dozens of feet high .

Bang!

As his qi and blood surged, he was unable to properly control his balance, and he crashed against the ground . The tiles were crushed to powder because of it .

But the defense from true origin aura and the strong physical body granted to him after he mastered Tendon Changing Classic allowed Happy to remain alive .

Happy could only count his lucky stars .

‘What a domineering Lion’s Roar!’

If he had not been prepared to retreat when he attacked and swiftly left the fourth level, that Lion’s Roar might have made him permanently killed him at the fourth level, because when he was pushed to the fourth level, he would have to wait for the fate of being pierced through by ten thousand needles!

When he fell from the air, the trap above him would automatically stop shooting . The Buddha statue also shut up and returned to its state of accumulating strength .

When he saw this, Happy gained a vague understanding of what happened .

Unless he activated the trap, the hidden weapons around the huge net of chains would not be fired .

But once he entered the fourth level, the Buddha statue would immediately attack .

The power in Lion’s Roar was incredibly great . It could ignore the defense in Happy’s true origin aura . If Happy had reacted to the situation a little slower, he might have ended up dead .

When he thought of this, Happy found his heart filled with lingering fear . He sat down cross-legged to recover his damaged organs, which were injured by Lion’s Roar . At the same time, he recovered his qi .

Right now, two of the four chains binding the silver treasure box had snapped, and with just two more strikes, he could get that box!

Even if he faced the dual threat of the Buddha statue and the trap, Happy did not intend to retreat .

A few minutes passed .

The Buddha statue did not move .

Happy stood up from the floor .

“You can’t stop me . ”

*****

Bang!

As Happy crashed against the floor violently from the air and caused a huge pit to form on the floor, he was once again injured slightly because of Lion’s Roar .

But this bit of injury had come in exchange for the third chain binding the silver box snapping .

Once it lost support from three chains, the silver box lost its balance . One end of the box was caught by a chain that was the size of a fist, and it hung high in the air while it swayed nonstop .

Happy did not observe it for long . He went to sit down and recover his qi as well as to treat his injuries .

The power in the double-layered trap was great . If any normal person came over, it would already be very difficult for them to get up so high, much less break those sturdy chains that were made of unique material while they had to face the dual threat from the countless hidden weapons and Lion’s Roar .

‘Let’s hope that the item inside the treasure box won’t disappoint me . ’

Happy knew that one last attack was left before he could get the box . He recovered and immediately took action .

This was the final step . Happy became even more careful than before .

He pointed forward .

Snap!

The chain snapped on the spot . It lost the last thing securing it in the air, and Happy caught the silver box decisively with one Dragon Capture .

But what surprised Happy was that the springs in the fourth level did not start making noise . The Lion’s Roar he had been expecting also did not come at him .

But a change he had not been expecting appeared below him . The sound of springs did arrive, but it came from below him, and it seemed as if something had shot out . The walls around him in the hall also started continuously making a faint buzz like that of a mosquito .

‘What’s going on?’

Happy might not have managed to snap out of the mindset of expecting the Buddha statue and huge net of chains to attack him, but based on where the sounds came from, he could quickly identify that this was the sound of the third trap, and it was coming from the spot right below him .

If he fell down, he would land straight into the trap .

He practically did not think . Happy put the silver box away into his Universe Bag, and with one Dragon Capture, he grabbed the thin chain that slumped down from above .

He hung in the air, just like that .

Rustle!

Once it had to withstand Happy’s weight, the thin chain was instantly yanked down a little further . The heavy but stable net of chains was affected once more, and the familiar sound of springs rose .

‘Oh no!’

Happy was shocked, and he knew that things were bad .

At that moment, Happy could already detect what happened below him during that brief pause in the air .

Countless thin metallic threads made of a unique material intersected with each other and covered the entire hall in a dense manner . It was like layers of spider webs that intersected with each other .

But the difference was that a spider web’s function was to capture prey, and this web that filled the entire third layer of the hall was made of multiple threads that could cut through everything easily the moment anything fell on them .

Those were fatal metallic threads where one small section of it already cost thousands of gold, and it could compare to divine weapons .

The entire hall was filled with this web, and he had no way of avoiding it, and they were so tightly packed against each other…

Happy had no doubt that if he let go and fell, he would be cut into thousands of pieces . Compared to the fatal metallic threads down there, Happy would much rather…

“ROAR!”

‘Gosh, these disasters just keep piling up one after another, huh?!’

Happy tugged the chain and rushed to the top of the fourth level . He stuck close to the dome-shaped roof . At that moment, the other trap that he had ignored descended on him, and at such a critical moment, to boot .

Lion’s Roar!

Three threats landed on him .

Below him was the accursed death trap, in front of him were endless flying needles, behind him were some flying needles he had to withstand, and now, the sound wave from Lion’s Roar arrived!

Anyone else would face certain death .

But at that moment, Happy entered the state where nothing could affect his state of mind, and he was composed . He swiftly shoved Recondite Steel Heavy Sword into the gap between his back and the roof . At the same time, he focused before he let out a shout that sounded like a dragon’s roar in the direction of the sound wave from Lion’s Roar charging at him .

“Get lost!”

Right when the seemingly substantial dragon roar appeared, the numerous flying needles that danced in front of him were sent into disorder by a peerless force . They gathered into a huge dragon head and went to charge against the sound wave that came from the Buddha statue .

Boom!

“ROAR!”

“ROAR!”

The Lion’s Roar went up against Happy’s dragon roar!

An astonishing qi wave exploded in the air, and the countless needles swept outward in all directions as the chaotic and violent qi wave blew everywhere .

Happy still suffered a bit of a setback . Even though Recondite Steel Heavy Sword helped him block quite a number of flying needles, he still had many flying needles stab into his back continuously, and his true origin aura was reduced to the point that it was now less than one-third its original size .

But this hit caused the most of the compact flying needle trap at the fourth level to be destroyed . The needles flying around in a disorderly manner caused many holes to be ruined . The threat of the fourth level instantly became much lower .

A ray of hope leading to survival appeared in the fatal trap!
