taking far longer than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Elrick and the others had kept quiet, watching and waiting with mild impatience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as more hours dragged by, deep frowns creased their brows, revealing their growing annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the oppressive radiation no longer plagued them, they still did not wish to remain in the tomb a moment longer than necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truth was that Cain found the delay frustrating as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt trapped, waiting for a signal that stubbornly refused to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, Cain’s mind spun with possibilities, most of them unpleasant, and one of them became more and more feasible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could they have perished?” Cain wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The irony that the Night Prince’s elite subordinates might have died in the same dangerous corridors where they intended to ambush unsuspecting rivals was not lost on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was not unlike something that could have happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tomb’s hazards were not to be taken lightly, and even high-level cultivators could easily meet their end if they weren’t fully prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the unsettling thought took shape, Cain felt a faint flicker in the secret communication gem stored in his space ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relief washed over him-at long last, the Night Prince’s people had made it to the tomb’s core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Cain signaled back with a simple blink of energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dared not send a longer message for fear that Elrick and the others might detect it and suspect his plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that his patience had paid off, Cain no longer needed to maintain the ruse of a slow recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In under fifteen minutes, he accelerated his healing, allowing the visible gashes and bruises to knit themselves together until only shallow cuts remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, he stood up, eyes gleaming with sharp resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s move,” he declared flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elrick snorted, crossing his arms over his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The haughty scorn in his gaze underscored his contempt for Cain’s supposed frailty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, despite all the time lost, Elrick did not object.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything, he seemed eager to proceed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He merely let Cain take the lead, albeit with a sneer that conveyed his lingering hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Cain suppressed an internal sigh at the hypocrisy and arrogance Elrick displayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, Elrick’s cultivation rank was high, and he possessed substantial battle power, but his pride and vanity had proven to be significant flaws he could not control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, Cain saw no point in arguing with someone who might soon perish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With everyone in tow, he started down the next corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The passage they traversed was cylindrical, its walls made of smooth obsidian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In spite of his constant vigilance-keeping his guard fully raised and scanning for traps-Cain found no hidden dangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No illusions, no barrier spells, no shifting floors or attacking beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps upon reaching this depth, the Sky Sovereign Tomb decided there was no further need to test us,” Cain mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found the notion plausible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far from letting his alertness drop, though, he merely kept an open mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking at a brisk pace, he glanced over his shoulder, eyes settling on Elrick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems there were no more challenges,” Cain remarked with a detached tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You could have advanced without my help, after all.” Though his words carried a simple observation, the mocking undertone was unmistakable-an implication that all the waiting they’d done while he “recovered” might have been pointless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elrick’s face darkened with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His teeth ground together in silent fury, and his clenched fists shook at his sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames of resentment within him grew hotter by the second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One would have to be blind not to see that he toyed with the idea of attacking Cain then and there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he could not rationalize doing so when there was still more of the tomb to explore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain’s choice to needle Elrick this way might seem risky, but he had a motive: anger could lead people to make mistakes, and he wanted Elrick’s mind less focused on caution and planning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single slip would be all Cain needed when the conflict broke out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They continued on in strained silence for nearly forty-five minutes until the corridor opened into a massive obsidian gateway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The single word “Tomb” was carved in stylized script across the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group immediately tensed, realizing that beyond this gate lay what was likely the final resting place of the Sky Sovereign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain stopped and closed his eyes for an instant, sending another subtle signal through his communication gem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An answer pulsed back at once, indicating that the Night Prince’s team was also in position, ready to move in on their side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s no need for further delay,” Cain announced calmly, pivoting back to face Elrick, Auron, Mera, and the Deus Behemoth Brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone’s ready, so let’s take what we came here for.” The others exchanged guarded nods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Elrick, though still brimming with irritation, stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain placed one hand against the gate’s surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his slightest touch, an overwhelming gravitational force snared them, making it nearly impossible to withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gate rumbled open, and the force pushed them all inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain and the rest of the group were hurled into a colossal obsidian chamber shaped like a dome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they staggered to their feet, breathless from the sudden shift, the gate slammed shut behind them with a thunderous echo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might have been trapped, but their minds could not focus on that now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their attention was drawn to a more arresting sight: a corpse sat on a raised dais in the center of the dome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body was that of a man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All fluids had dried up long ago, leaving behind a mummified husk of desiccated skin stretched taut over bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite that, an overwhelming aura of energy and vitality clung to his cells as though some remnant of his immense power refused to fully dissipate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leathery skin and distinctly pointed ears made it clear that the corpse belonged to the Atrox Race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the stunned silence, two words resonated through everyone’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sky Sovereign.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Redsunworld Special shoutout to Jayscribe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Check out his work: The Stonehearted
