Chapter 1183: 1183
Thousand-faced Human Fox walked in front with the Ice Jade . Wherever he went, the liquefied mercury around him would instantly freeze to form a silver floor . When they walked on it, they would only feel it sink slightly, but they would not completely drown in it .
Everyone in the hall had pretty decent lightness skills . They knew that this was because the Ice Jade was not strong enough to affect the entire mercury moat . They tapped against the floor and quickly followed behind Thousand-faced Human Box . Soon, they arrived at the middle section of the mercury moat .
In the blink of an eye, the group entered the mercury moat .
Martial Paragon Bi Xuan’s subordinates were rather unlucky .
When they noticed something strange about Thousand-faced Human Fox, they discussed with each other and wanted to rush over as well . However, the distance was too far . When two among the group stepped on the floor, the mercury became slightly soft, and the powerful suction force instantly dragged them under . They died miserable deaths .
The others might have managed to remain aloft by sheer luck after they executed their body movements, they were still unable to join the group . They accidentally sucked in poisonous gas, and they died in the moat one after another .
And hence, all the subordinates Martial Paragon Bi Xuan brought to the desert palace died . He was now alone .
Happy only watched this by the side coldly . He never extended a hand to help .
Martial Paragon Bi Xuan and the old zither player were different .
The old zither player was the sect master of Zither Sect . He was merciful and kind by nature . However, Martial Paragon Bi Xuan was the national master of the Turks . The goal of his trip was the treasures in the desert palace . For it, he would not even mind sacrificing all his subordinates . If he saved Bi Xuan’s people, not only would he not be able to gain any benefits while they competed for the treasures, he would just be letting his enemy become stronger .
Happy would definitely not do something as stupid as this .
When he heard Bi Xuan’s subordinates fall into the mercury moat, he acted as if he did not hear them . He just continued moving forward .
The old zither player might not be able to help but sigh, but as of current, he understood his status and position in the group . Happy was the leader of the group, and it would not be good for him to cause Happy more trouble as well as increase the risk between them . He could only watch Bi Xuan’s subordinates die in the mercury moat .
Wan Wan and Hou Xibai quietly followed in the group . They did not dare make a sound . They were worried that if they spoke, they would suck in poisonous gas, and things would be too late for them .
The group quietly arrived 162 feet away from the Fire Spitting Beasts of Clouds .
Less than 162 feet behind the Fire Spitting Beasts of Clouds was a huge pyramid with four sides . It looked like a sacrificial altar .
The pyramid was completely surrounded by the mercury moat . Less than 98 feet of it was revealed . The swordsman in black armor, Martial Paragon Bi Xuan, Dongfang Bubai, Ye Gucheng, Evil King, Empress Yin, and Osaya were nowhere to be found .
“…”
Happy was slightly stunned, and he felt a little puzzled . ‘Where did the people in the dao of heaven go?’
But while he remained puzzled, he could not ignore the Fire Spitting Beasts of Flames either .

This was the greatest threat in the mercury moat!
At that moment…
“Up!”
The group had been notified of the plan a long time ago, and they reached their designated positions . As Thousand-faced Human Fox gave his orders, they reacted at the same time . They quickly tapped against the mercury floor and held their breaths to jump higher into the air . They braced themselves and flew in the direction of the Fire Spitting Beasts of Flames .
If Bi Xuan and the others were on the opposite side, they would definitely think that this group had gone mad . They were clearly just flying to their own deaths .
But at the moment they pounced into the Fire Spitting Beasts of Flames’ attack range, Thousand-faced Human Fox quickly flicked his wrist . The Ice Jade he had been holding in his hand was swiftly thrown into a Fire Spitting Beast of Flames’ mouth .
The burning flames and pungent smell of phosphorus instantly faded away in the Fire Spitting Beast of Flames’ mouth .
The savage light shining in its eyes also became darker .
The divine weapon in attacking cities looked as if it had started choking .
It could not spit out the phosphorus flames that were in its throat .
The group was incredibly excited, and they were delighted . They quickly chased behind Thousand-faced Human Fox . They swiftly used the Fire Spitting Beast of Flames’ as a platform, and one after another, they jumped over the Fire Spitting Beast of Flame to land on the stairs at the base of the pyramid .
The pyramid was really grand . Even though only 98 feet of it was revealed outside, each foundation was incredibly sturdy and large . Each level was three feet tall .
When they landed on the stone staircase of the pyramid, they instantly found themselves incredibly small .
Thud thud!
The group landed on the pyramid while completely unharmed . They managed to safely arrive at the place .
From the start to the end, the group did not know why the Fire Spitting Beast of Flame did not cough up those phosphorus flames . Even though they were certain that it was related to the old servant beside the white-clad teenager, they were very sensible and did not ask for answers . The old zither player and his group wrapped their fists in their palms and thanked them at the same time .
“Thank you, Young Swordsman Happy . ”
“I wonder where they are now . We have to search for them quickly!” Happy did not have the mood to exchange pleasantries right now . After they landed on the staircase, he instantly had his spirit sense cover the entire pyramid . He only found a tunnel that could allow a few people enter it at a time at the top of the pyramid .
A small, square-shaped tunnel was opened at the back of the pyramid . It was dark inside, and he could not have his spirit sense reach inside . Happy guessed that the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance as well as the other people in the dao of heaven should have entered the pyramid .
Besides, there was a huge possibility that the secret of the desert palace was hidden inside the pyramid, and it was the catastrophic item Thousand-faced Human Fox and the old zither player believed was here!
“Let’s go!”
Happy tapped against the group and moved to the top of the pyramid .
“Let’s follow him . ”
The old zither player did not break his promise . With one order, he brought his surviving barbarians and quickly followed after him .

Wan Wan and Hou Xibai were also wondering whether their masters had succeeded . They followed behind the barbarians and did not dare fall back too much . With each step they took, they moved up several steps on the stairs .
When they were about to reach the top of the pyramid, the pyramid suddenly started trembling madly .
Ripples had also appeared in the mercury that surrounded the pyramid . It was as if something in the pyramid was shaking violently and making the foundation in the pyramid tremble .
When they sensed the abnormality in the pyramid, the group looked shocked . They stopped moving and put their hands on the ground to support themselves so that they would not be flung off the pyramid .
“What happened?!”
“Something happened in the pyramid! Master, be careful!” Thousand-faced Human Fox cried out in shock behind them .
Happy was the one who led the charge, and he was the one who was affected the most . The powerful trembles and swaying came from within the pyramid, and it came from the bottom . The tremors also became stronger as they traveled up the pyramid .
When he approached the top of the pyramid, Happy felt a sense of danger, as if he was about to be flung off at any moment . He had no choice . He could no longer care about how sturdy the ground was . He turned his hand into the shape of a claw and had his hand sink into the building .
Five gusts of wind pierced fiercely through the building, and a few finger-shaped holes were left behind .
Happy seized the finger-shaped holes, and Happy was finally able to secure himself to the building .
Boom!
The pyramid continued swaying . The sounds inside grew louder .
The violent tremors and shakes caused the calm mercury moat to become even more agitated . The silver ripples struck the area around the pyramid gently . Splashes of mercury flew high into the air and shot at the people on the pyramid . Wan Wan and Hou Xibai were so shocked that they quickly used their skills to protect themselves .
“This is bad!”
The old zither player has been following Happy all along . When the pyramid started swaying and trembling, his expression changed . He listened to his surroundings carefully, and after listening for a while, he sent a private message to Happy .
“This should not be some sort of powerful trap, but a fight between elites . They’ve started fighting in the pyramid!”
‘They have?!’
Happy naturally understood who the old zither player was referring to .
Perhaps only the fight between the elites in the dao of heaven could affect the area outside the pyramid and cause it to shake .
However, the fight inside might not be as simple as it seemed if it could make the sturdy pyramid tremble frequently and even the mercury moat surge about .
When he thought about this in-depth, Happy’s expression changed once more .
The bloody fight between seven people in the dao of heaven was nothing simple . If they could already sense such powerful waves outside, entering it recklessly would not be a good idea .
But right now, they were not safe outside either!
As the battle in the pyramid became more intense, the waves created by the mercury in the moat grew higher, and soon, it could threaten the people gathered at the top of the pyramid .
Just when they were in a situation where they could not retreat…
Happy and the old zither player noticed a powerful killing intent surge out from the depths of the tunnel in the pyramid, and with a shocking speed, it charged out into the air with a prideful roar .
“ROAR!”
The sound of a tiger’s roar made the entire pyramid tremble .
That tiger’s roar was also mixed with an incredibly brutal and cruel presence . When they sensed it crashing against them, they felt as if they were about to be unable to stand on their feet .
Soon, a sharp glare in the form of a large, white tiger that seemed to have substantial shape charged out of the tunnel in the pyramid in a savage and brutal manner .
Their robes fluttered . The people outside the pyramid could barely stand steadily in the howling wind . They bent their backs and tried to steady their bodies .
But at that moment, many people’s weapons started vibrating madly on their backs .
The weapons hummed together .
“This is…”
Even Happy’s Heaven Crystal started vibrating and humming a little at the moment the seemingly physical white tiger rushed out of the pyramid . The sword will contained in the sword gushed out controllably and in frenzy .
Heaven Crystal’s sword will roared .
“The attack has turned into the shape of a tiger, and it’s looking down at the world! It’s a saber glare in the shape of a tiger!”
At the moment Happy noticed something strange, the old zither player was so shocked by the white tiger charging out of the pyramid that his eyebrows shot up . He could not help but have his voice raise when he cried out in surprise, “This is bad! The item sealed in the desert palace is the most catastrophic item during ancient times!”
It was only then that the old zither player realized just what sort of item was sealed in the desert palace . He was so shocked that his face turned pale . Suddenly, an astonishing sword will that was so sharp that it could not be blocked rose up beside him . The sharp glare charged into the air as if it was sucked by a magnet . It managed to destroy the tiger-shaped saber glare that came out of the pyramid . The old zither player’s expression changed .
“This is…?”
He redirected his gaze, and he saw that the strange-looking longsword in Happy’s hands was no longer as unassuming as before . It now shone with the pure sheen of white crystal, and an amazing presence radiated off of it .
“Heaven… Crystal?!”
The old zither player was full of disbelief . He stared at the longsword in Happy’s hands and slowly said those two words after a few seconds .
Wan Wan and Hou Xibai were shocked . Their gazes were instantly drawn to Heaven Crystal, which was still releasing astonishing waves of sword wills in Happy’s hand .
At that moment, even a person who lacked general knowledge could tell just how extraordinary Happy’s sword was .
However, everything happened too quickly . When the tiger-shaped saber glare appeared, Heaven Crystal’s sword will showed up . Once they clashed against each other, another pure white tiger-shaped saber glare roared and charged out of the tunnel in the pyramid . The feeling of the saber glare trying to cut into them was more than ten times stronger than before .
Before the saber glare touched them, the tiger’s roar had already entered their ears .
The old zither player’s barbarian disciples were affected so much by the presence of the saber glare that they could not stand firmly . They were flung off the pyramid and started falling into the mercury moat .

The Elemental Arena
*A Rational-Adjacent litRPG Survival Series.* The time for the trials has come, pitting the mortal species of the galaxy against one another. By completing challenges, clearing dungeons, and defeating rival species, the players may forge themselves stronger and smarter. But only one species will be declared the winner. Earth has finally qualified... ...and participation is mandatory. A twenty-nine year old data entry clerk works together with a group of internationally diverse players to survive. Learning synergistic skills and using teamwork, can humanity achieve an upset? If they don't, their lives are forfeit. Author's note: Chapters will be anywhere from 6k to 10k in words, varying based on the plot beats instead of specific word counts. Realistic actions and teamwork will be important aspects of my story. I'm trying something a little different in writing a realism focused litRPG, hoping to capture the essence of how real people would react to their situation. People are complex and don't always get along. I don't recommend starting the series expecting wish fulfillment tropes just because it's tagged litRPG. It's a survival story with the game settings on Hell difficulty. The plot hasn't gotten there yet, but in the future of the series I want to recreate my nostalgia of forty person raids on Ragnaros, but with the high stakes of boss battles in Sword Art Online. I also love puzzle rooms so expect one of those each book. Warnings: mild PG-rated language, graphic violence and gore, and graphic medical content.
