Mrs. and Mr. Smith

"Big Brother, you killed Lone Shadow? We were just betting on whether you'd survive to come in. His dominator power gave me a headache too, I didn't expect you could actually kill him."

Little Lorianne laughed as she asked.

Rain's expression was also quite surprised. Although the two forces were completely hostile, he knew the strength of Lone Shadow, one of the four major leaders, yet he didn't expect Ethan Smith to be the one who could enter here in the end.

"Lucky."

Ethan Smith said coldly.

"I'm sorry, young friend Ethan. I thought the Book of Wishes could completely suppress everyone, but I didn't expect Lone Shadow to use the suppression of the Power of Celestial Punishment and his dominator power. These two layers of power combined actually resisted the Book of Wishes."

Azure Cloud apologized.

"It has nothing to do with you, this man's schemes run deep. From the beginning, he planned to attack me, even ready to betray the Order's Guardians. But in the end, it all came to nothing."

Ethan Smith laughed coldly, not intending to hide anything.

Facing these cultivators, showing a bit of his own strength was also a strategy.

"It seems there are treasures on you more precious than those in the Heavenly Sin Tomb. Without sufficient strength, you can't protect such treasures."

Rain lightly flicked the dagger in his hand, which spun several times in the air before returning to his palm.

"You want it? Come and take it, and I'll have you eat dirt again!"

Ethan Smith sneered as he spoke.

"You're looking to die!"

Brought up a sore spot for Ethan Smith again, Rain's face instantly became grim.

"Alright, everyone be quiet. Our goal is not infighting but this Heavenly Sin Tomb before us."

Azure Cloud slightly frowned.

"I have some bad news to share. This time, the Heavenly Sin Land is different from the previous three occurrences."

"How is it different?"

Little Lorianne chuckled as she asked.

"It's much more powerful than before. Previously, the divine generals of the First Layer were not this formidable. Not even reaching one-fifth. Remember, the appearance of the Heavenly Sin Tomb is to punish the guilty, it can perceive the strength of a sinner's Bloodline."

Azure Cloud looked somewhat solemn.

"Could there be a sinner with a very strong Blood Inheritance here, and our entry naturally affected us?"

Ethan Smith quickly caught on.

"That's right, based on the previous intensity of the Heavenly Sin, even in the Third Layer we were confident of passing through, and might even attempt entering the Fourth Layer; but for now, let's try to survive first."

Azure Cloud said with a wry smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into silence, mist shrouding the huge Divine Temple space.

The sounds of killing within had gradually died down.

Meaning that of the nearly hundred thousand who entered, there were less than three thousand remaining by the time of the Second Layer.

Thick blood was slowly seeping into the exterior of their area.

Yet the gradually rising blood seemed to be obstructed by a force, just slowly rising.

As though the swelling tide of a sea, only stopping when it reached halfway up the Divine Temple.

This was the terrifying power of the Heavenly Sin.

Almost a hundred thousand cultivators, just the First Layer's trial had killed so many.

Yet the remaining three thousand were mostly living beings in the Ninth Level of the Path Realm or higher.

Some even having cultivated the Pinnacle Force, this place was practically gathered with top cultivators.

And these people also seemed to have their teams present.

But when these people saw Ethan Smith and his team, they all did not approach them.

And many showed signs of apprehension on their faces.

"It should be related to that blonde woman."

Seeing their expressions, Ethan Smith speculated.

Who on earth is Alex?

Ethan Smith glanced at the expressionless woman, feeling puzzled.

"Old man, why can't we enter the next layer yet?"

Little Lorianne shouted loudly, getting a bit impatient.

"There may still be living beings present in the Divine Temple, so the Second Layer's call hasn't been activated yet."

Azure Cloud speculated.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

A figure in White Robes gradually appeared before everyone with heavy footsteps.

Ethan Smith's heart was shaken. The figure before him was someone he was all too familiar with.

Big Brother Ken Middleton!

The scene of the confrontation between the Southern Continent Northern Territory appeared vividly in his mind, even after death Ken had saved him in the Ghost World.

Though the price seemed to be the loss of his memory, for now, he seemed to have completely forgotten Ethan Smith.

"What a terrifying power, able to evade the perception of these divine generals just by walking step by step here."

Azure Cloud was also showing signs of being shocked for the first time.

"And to avoid the divine generals' scrutiny not by Pinnacle Force, but by understanding the rules here."

In such a short time, finding the key to breaking the predicament displayed an unbelievable talent that shocked everyone.

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting."

Ken Middleton smiled as he spoke.

For a moment, Ethan Smith felt a bit disoriented, as if the battle scenes he fought alongside Ken were just yesterday.

Ken stood in thought not far from Ethan Smith, seemingly deep in thought, not even noticing Ethan Smith who kept looking at him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I propose that the situation here is not right, more dangerous than our previous assumptions. Based on everyone's understanding of this tomb, each is here for their chance of fortune, so we should try to cooperate. Only this way can we defeat the evil Heavenly Sin!"

A Fatty blathered as he spat.

To Ethan Smith's surprise, this person's strength seemed pathetically weak, if he guessed correctly.

This Fatty should probably be around the Fifth Level of the Path Realm, yet he had nine guards beside him.

And each one's aura was at the full Ninth Level, likely cultivators of Pinnacle Force.

"Fatty, if you've got something to say, spit it out!"

Someone couldn't hold back and said impatiently.

"Alright! Alright! I suggest that before the Second Layer opens, we exchange treasures among ourselves. If we can swap for suitable treasures, won't our subsequent actions be much smoother!"

Fatty's eyes sparkled, one hand clutching a handful of talismans.

The other hand held a large bag, surprisingly filled with magical artifacts.

Upon appearing, these magical artifacts exuded a strong aura.

"Are these all top-notch magical artifacts?"

Ethan Smith sensed it carefully, feeling truly unbelievable.

There were even a few talismans where Ethan Smith could feel the world-ending aura within, definitely crafted by supreme cultivators.

"Don't underestimate this Fatty."
