The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

After saying this, the girl in white robes fell silent, turned around, and walked towards the west side of the hall. Behind her, three black-robed messengers followed closely.

Chen Er and Zhang Liao exchanged a glance, and then followed.

At first, Chen Er thought the hall was very spacious, but he really didn't expect it to be this vast. The two of them followed behind the white-robed girl for a good half hour before they arrived at the location of the next teleportation array.

What bothered Chen Er even more was that the vast hall was surprisingly empty. Along the way, warriors in black robes hurried by, but no one stopped or made a sound. They were like ghosts.

Although sunlight was still shining in from outside, for some reason, Chen Er couldn't feel any warmth. It was as if he were walking on a vast ice field, and all his heat was being absorbed by the cold of the ice field.

Chen Er glanced at Zhang Liao and noticed that he had been frowning the whole time. He couldn't help but think of the way Zhang Liao had seemed hesitant to speak earlier.

Had he discovered something? Chen Er only realized this now. However, he couldn't ask in front of the black-robed envoy and the white-robed girl.

After that, they walked for an unknown amount of time, so long that Chen Er wondered if he was hallucinating, before the scene before him suddenly changed.

A large bronze gate suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes, decorated with intricate patterns. Chen Er looked at the bronze gate with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

This bronze door stretches as far as the eye can see, far exceeding the previous one. In such an era, could humanity really build such a massive bronze door?

Chen Er took a deep look at the three black-robed envoys and the white-robed girl in front of him. His assessment of the Warrior Tower's strength rose another level.

The three black-robed envoys took out three black tokens from their waists. Unlike the bronze tokens Chen Er and Zhang Liao had seen before, these tokens were made of a material more akin to steel. And without exception, all three tokens bore the character "天" (heaven) in a style resembling bird-script.

It wasn't that Chen Er was so knowledgeable that he could even recognize bird seal script; it was because Zhang Liao had quietly explained it to him.

The three black-robed messengers took out their tokens and walked to the side of the bronze door. Before they could do anything, three holes suddenly appeared in the originally seamless bronze door, each of them a square rectangle.

Three black-robed messengers stood beside a cave entrance, extending their hands and placing the black iron tokens they held inside the rectangular openings.

A series of faint rumbling sounds suddenly appeared, like countless metal blocks rubbing together, or like countless chains colliding. Then, in front of the group, the ground suddenly cracked open, and a five-colored altar rose up.

The girl in white robes stepped forward and took out the token from her hand. The three black-robed messengers remained where they were.

The girl in white robes reached out her hands to Chen Er and Zhang Liao.

"Come up."

Zhang Liao and Chen Er slowly walked up, and then, a burst of light flashed. When Chen Er and Zhang Liao looked around again, they saw that the scenery around them had changed.

The sunlight had disappeared, and the place felt like an airtight space, yet the air currents were slowly shifting. Above, however, a faint light flickered.

Chen Er looked up and was astonished to find a huge, crystal-like object above him. This gave Chen Er a sudden illusion that he was still in modern times, visiting the underwater world at the Oceanarium.

Having witnessed countless strange things along the way, Chen Er was now unfazed. Zhang Liao, meanwhile, remained silent, waiting for the white-robed girl beside him to make arrangements.

The girl in white didn't speak immediately. For some reason, Chen Er felt that her breathing was somewhat rapid in the darkness, unlike her previous steady breathing.

The girl in white robes faced the darkness before her the entire time, as if she could see something in the darkness.

After a moment, she finally spoke:

"You two, wait a while while I go open the Heavenly Pavilion."

After saying that, she took two steps forward, and soon her figure disappeared into the darkness.

There was no sound or light. In the darkness, Chen Er and Zhang Liao's breathing became somewhat labored.

For some reason, Chen Er felt extremely uncomfortable here. It was as if countless eyes were watching him, or as if he were alone facing the vast starry sky.

Just then, Zhang Liao suddenly spoke up beside him:

"Brother, from the time I lost consciousness until I woke up, approximately how long was it?"

"Why are you asking this?" Chen Er paused for a moment. In the darkness, he couldn't see Zhang Liao's expression clearly, but recalling Zhang Liao's furrowed brows earlier, he thought carefully before giving his answer:

"No less than the time it takes for one incense stick to burn, and no more than the time it takes for three incense sticks to burn."

Without a timer, Chen Er couldn't give a precise answer, so this was the only response he could offer.

"Are you sure?" Chen Er could feel Zhang Liao's breath hitch because of his answer.

"Confirmed!" Chen Er said.

"But why do I feel like I only blinked once...?" Before Zhang Liao could finish speaking, a bright light suddenly shone around them.

It's like being in the Arctic, facing the vast night sky, where countless stars scatter their light, and the once dark world is suddenly illuminated like daytime.

But why did the feeling of being watched not dissipate as the darkness faded, but instead become even stronger?

Chen Er had previously gone to Tibet to do missions and had experienced this feeling at night atop the snow-capped mountains.

However, there is one thing that is common between the past life and this life. That is, facing the "starry sky" under the boundless dome, Chen Er felt that he, as a human being, was so insignificant.

Previously, Chen Er was able to confidently declare his intention to demolish the entire Warrior Tower while standing next to the "Abyss Dragon" in the forbidden area. However, now, faced with this scene, the once confident Chen Er suddenly lost his nerve.

How many secrets does the Samurai Tower still hold? With such a vast and powerful foundation, is the Samurai Tower truly a challenge I can take on? Even with knowledge from the future, and the "Smile of Death"...
