Rise of the Otherworld.

The moment the treasure box opened automatically, a powerful force surged from it like a surging wave, instantly enveloping everyone. This power was powerful and mysterious, carrying an ancient and profound aura, filling people with both awe and curiosity. It seemed alive, flexing and entangling everyone, like countless invisible hands tightly pulling and squeezing them.

Zhang Hao felt his body tightly bound by an invisible pressure, nearly paralyzed. He gritted his teeth, struggling to resist the pressure. Veins popped on his forehead, and sweat streamed down his face. Every breath became incredibly difficult, as if a huge rock were pressing down on his chest. His eyes were firm and determined, with only one thought in his mind: he could not be defeated by this unknown force.

The woman screamed in shock, her body involuntarily stepping back. The little girl clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, her face pale with fear, tears welling in her eyes. The woman tried hard to stand firm and protect the little girl from harm, but the force was too strong, and her efforts seemed so powerless.

The mysterious man tried to approach the treasure box and explore its secrets, but each step forward was incredibly difficult, as if he were walking against a strong wind. His steps were heavy, and each lift required immense effort. His expression was serious, and his eyes revealed a desire and challenge for the unknown.

Lingyu and the old man were also thrown to the ground by this sudden force, their eyes filled with shock and confusion. Lingyu tried to cast a spell to resist the force, but found that his magic power was completely useless in the face of such a powerful force. The old man tightly grasped his staff, muttering something, trying to use the staff's power to stabilize his body.

As everyone struggled to hold on, a multicolored gem slowly rose from the treasure box. Its radiance was dazzling, dreamlike, illuminating everything around it with a vibrant brilliance. The light was as brilliant as a rainbow, yet held an irresistible allure.

However, behind this beautiful light lay a great danger. As the gem's radiance intensified, its power grew increasingly violent, distorting the very air around it. Tiny cracks began to appear in the once tranquil space, as if it were about to shatter.

"No! This force is too strong! We might not be able to withstand it!" the old man shouted, his voice filled with fear and despair.

But it was too late. The power within the treasure box suddenly erupted, creating a powerful shockwave. Everyone was instantly blown away, falling heavily to the ground like leaves in the wind. Their bodies collided with the ground with a dull thud.

Zhang Hao felt his vision go black and he lost consciousness. He seemed to have fallen into an endless dark abyss, and there was silence all around him.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Hao slowly awoke. He slowly opened his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar place. The surroundings were a desolate landscape, barren of grass and cracked earth. A layer of gray fog hung in the sky, leaving a feeling of oppression and despair.

"Where is this?" Zhang Hao struggled to stand up, feeling aches all over his body. His body felt as if it had been run over by countless carriages, and every joint ached.

At this time, several other people also woke up one after another, and they also looked confused and terrified.

"Were we brought here by the power of the treasure box?" the woman asked in a trembling voice. Her eyes were filled with helplessness and fear, and she held the little girl tightly in her arms.

The mysterious man looked around with a serious expression, "I'm afraid that's the case." His voice was low and hoarse, as if he was also shocked by the desolate scene.

Just as everyone was at a loss, a deep roar suddenly emanated from the distance. It sounded like the roar of an ancient beast, filled with rage and majesty. Everyone's faces instantly paled.

"What is this?" Ling Yu asked tremblingly.

The old man took a deep breath and said, "I don't know, but we must be careful."

Everyone looked nervously in the direction of the sound, only to see a huge figure gradually emerge...
