Chapter 1181: Chapter 1181: Twilight Qi of the Saint Tomb Chapter 1181: Chapter 1181: Twilight Qi of the Saint Tomb The desolate divine eye scattered its divine might, sweeping over the entire Saint Tomb!

Under the gaze of the desolate divine eye, the entire Saint Tomb had no place to hide!

“Huh?” Seeing this, both Jocelyn and Chase Field's faces changed drastically!

The more they looked at the young man in front of them, the less they could understand. Just what secret was he hiding?

“Do you think I absolutely need you?” Ethan Smith coldly responded.

Jocelyn and Chase were left speechless.

At that moment, Ethan Smith put away the desolate divine eye.

With his hands clasped behind his back, he casually said, “But of course, I can consider splitting the loot evenly with you, after all, you are the ones who found this tomb.”

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of surprise flashed in their eyes.

“Are you serious?” Jocelyn asked.

Ethan Smith stood with his hands clasped behind him and indifferently responded, “Of course, I'm not an unreasonable person.”

After all, these two were from the Holy Region, and he still needed their help to journey there. It wouldn't be wise to create conflict with them now.

“Let's go,” Ethan said.

At this point, Jocelyn and Chase had no choice but to follow Ethan's plan.

Supported by their magical artifacts, they were barely able to withstand the Holy Power and headed into the tomb.

It was a tremendously grand palace, resplendently golden, and incredibly imposing.

Entering the palace, the first thing that catches their eyes were nine large pits.

Although there were no bones to be seen in the pits, the dark energy that they emanated allowed Ethan Smith to guess the pits' origins.

“Could these be burial pits?” Ethan Smith scowled.

Considering the lavish construction of the Saint Tomb and these pits, Ethan Smith surmised that the tomb's original owner might have been a high official in his time.

“The Grave-pit usually doesn't have any treasures. It's safer to keep your distance from it,” Jocelyn advised.

Ethan Smith glanced at him and nodded slightly.

To them, the Grave-pit was a sign of ill omen and untouchable. However, for Ethan Smith, it could serve as a training ground.

After passing the Grave-pit, a massive Stone Door loomed before them.

The Stone Door was enveloped in Yi Yun Qi, cascading downward like a waterfall, creating an incredibly mysterious sight.

Jocelyn and Chase stood in front of the door for a long time without approaching.

“What's wrong?” asked Ethan Smith.

Jocelyn replied solemnly, “This is the Saint Tomb after all, the place where the ancient saints were buried. We dare not act recklessly.”

“Originally, we wanted to use your disciples to scout the way ahead, but unfortunately, you didn't permit it,” Chase said, somewhat displeased.

Ethan Smith cast a glance at them both, snorted lightly, and challenged, “You are from the Holy Region. Don't you have any Dharma Treasures to explore with?”

“No,” Jocelyn answered bluntly.

“I'll go,” Frederick Cohen stepped up at this moment.

Ethan Smith held Frederick back and said, “Let me do it.”

Although Frederick Cohen's body was extremely sturdy, there was still a gap compared to the current Ethan Smith.

A green radiance burst from his body, and the azure wood true body wrapped his body.

This was indeed the tomb of the ancient saint, even Ethan Smith dared not neglect it.

He cautiously approached the door and reached out to open it.

At that instant, a burst of radiance emitted from the door, aiming straight for Ethan Smith.

At such close range, even if Ethan Smith were to activate the line word formula, he wouldn't be able to evade it!

“Bang!”

Struck by the attack, Ethan Smith was hurled backward, his chest marked with a bloody hole.

“Whoosh”

Inside the Saint Tomb, it seemed as if a breeze blew by, carrying a waft of cold, evil air.

This was not ordinary dark energy. The air that hovered over them was actually absorbing their spiritual power!

“Damn it! The worst has happened!” Jocelyn's face paled.

Ethan Smith could also feel the loss of spiritual energy in his body, but he didn't panic. Instead, he asked, “What's happening?”

Jocelyn explained, “This is the Twilight Qi. Usually, it appears in the mausoleums of top-level figures! This kind of air absorbs cultivators' spiritual energy. Once the spiritual power is completely absorbed, it begins to siphon off the lifespan!”

“That's terrifying?” Ethan Smith couldn't help but feel shocked!

Even the lifespan could be absorbed? Wouldn't that mean that everyone here would age rapidly?

“Do you have any countermeasures?” Ethan Smith asked, looking at the two.

Jocelyn responded gravely, “Opposite to the Twilight Qi, there is the Vitality Qi. Only by counteracting the Twilight Qi with the Vitality Qi can we survive. Unfortunately, we do not have any of this Qi with us.”

“We should leave first. Otherwise, all of us will age to death here,” Chase suggested, ready to retreat. He turned around and prepared to leave.

But Ethan Smith was somewhat unwilling.

The Saint Tomb was the mausoleum of an ancient saint. Who knows how many Dharma Treasures it could be hiding!

With the opening of the Holy Region imminent, if he didn't enter the Saint Tomb today, he probably would never get another chance.

“You guys go first. I'll take a quick look inside,” Ethan Smith proposed.

“Judging by the rate at which I'm currently losing spiritual energy, I should be able to enter and exit safely.”

Chase scoffed from the sidelines, “You're oversimplifying things. If it were that easy, we wouldn't be so wary.”

“What do you mean?” Ethan Smith frowned.

Chase said indifferently, “This is merely the entrance of the Saint Tomb. Naturally, the Twilight Qi here wouldn't be too concentrated. But as you go deeper into the Saint Tomb, the Twilight Qi will become increasingly dense.”

“Right now, the loss of spiritual energy may seem negligible. But with each step you take, the rate of loss will double. You won't be able to walk many steps before your spiritual energy and lifespan are completely drained.”

Ethan Smith's brow furrowed, Chase's words undoubtedly gave him a headache.

But the Saint Tomb was right in front of him. It was a treasure trove itching to be discovered, and it pained him to let it go.

If he could acquire a Dharma Treasure from within, he would hit the jackpot.

“I still want to give it a try.” Despite much deliberation, Ethan Smith ultimately decided against taking their advice.

He moved closer to the door, one step at a time. Soon, he was standing right at the door.

“Hmph, a fool who rushes in,” Chase couldn't help but sneer.
