I Created A Dungeon In A Cultivation World

Chapter 229 229: Arrive At The Hidden Place (part 2)

Their elemental prowess, combined with their extraordinary combat skills, turned the plateau into a battleground of epic proportions. Fire clashed with darkness, water quenched the undead's thirst for flesh, earth quaked under the force of the battle, and wind carried the echo of their battle cries.

As the alliance leaders fought back-to-back, they moved in perfect synchronization, their camaraderie and trust evident in their every move. Their bond and shared purpose made them an unstoppable force, and together, they pushed back the relentless undead horde.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the alliance leaders, Tan Zong had quietly disappeared from the plateau. His gaze shifted toward the sky as he focused on a distant location, and with a flash of spiritual light, he teleported back to the presence of Argon.

In the grand hall of Argon's palace, the atmosphere was thick with power. Argon sat regally on his throne, emanating an aura of ancient wisdom and boundless strength. When Tan Zong appeared before him, he acknowledged his presence with a slight nod.

"My Lord, the task is already complete," Tan Zong said, bowing respectfully to Argon.

Argon regarded him with a steady gaze, his voice deep and commanding, "Good job, Tan Zong. You have done well in guiding the alliance leaders to the hidden place."

A small smile tugged at the corners of Tan Zong's lips, grateful for Argon's approval. "It was an honor to assist them in their journey, My Lord. The hidden place is indeed a remarkable location."

Argon's eyes narrowed slightly, a glint of intrigue dancing within them. "Remarkable, indeed," he mused. "And now, they will build their new base within its sacred confines."

Tan Zong nodded, "Yes, they were thrilled with the location and the potential it holds for their alliance."

Argon's expression remained inscrutable as he continued, "You have served your purpose well, Tan Zong. Now, return to them swiftly before they realize your absence."

"I shall do so, My Lord," Tan Zong replied, turning to leave.

Before he could take a step, however, Argon's voice resonated through the hall once more, "But know this, Tan Zong, there is more to this hidden place than meets the eye."

Curiosity sparked within Tan Zong's mind, but he knew better than to question Argon further. "As you command, My Lord," he said respectfully and teleported back to the plateau where the alliance leaders valiantly fought the undead horde.

Back at the hidden place, the alliance leaders continued their epic battle against the relentless undead. The clash of elements and the unity of their movements became a mesmerizing dance of destruction and defense.

Alix unleashed torrents of fire, engulfing the undead in a blazing inferno. Yara manipulated the water around them, creating tidal waves that swept away the advancing zombies. Lady Xin used her wind affinity to create gusts that sent the skeletal warriors flying, leaving them vulnerable to Captain Zao's powerful earth-based strikes.

But just as the alliance leaders began to gain the upper hand and the undead monsters started to dwindle, a bone-chilling roar reverberated through the plateau, shaking their very souls. The ground trembled beneath their feet as they turned to face the source of the ominous sound.

In the distance, a colossal skeleton emerged from the mist. Towering at an astonishing 15 meters, the skeletal creature was enveloped in blue fire, giving it an eerie and menacing appearance. It was clear that this creature was no ordinary undead; its power far surpassed that of the typical foes they had faced so far.

Alix's eyes widened with apprehension. "This is bad," he exclaimed, his voice tinged with worry. "That thing is a half-step Core Formation Realm. Its power is beyond our current capabilities."

The other alliance leaders exchanged concerned glances, realizing the gravity of the situation. A half-step Core Formation Realm was a cultivation level far above Alix's Peak Gold Core Realm, making it an overwhelmingly powerful adversary.

Captain Zao's grip on his axe tightened, his determination unwavering. "No matter its strength, we must face it together. Our alliance and the future of this hidden place depend on it," he declared, rallying his companions.

The massive skeleton closed in with thundering footsteps, and the alliance leaders steeled themselves for the impending battle. Each of them infused their weapons with even more potent elemental energy, knowing that this formidable foe required their full power.

Alix's fists were engulfed in searing flames, ready to unleash the full force of his fire manipulation. Yara channeled the water around him, encasing his arrows in an icy sheen that promised freezing devastation. Lady Xin's whip crackled with gusting winds, and Shadowblade's shadowy strikes intensified, projecting a veil of darkness around him.

With a coordinated battle plan, the alliance leaders launched a united assault on the colossal skeleton. Alix's fiery punches collided with the creature's bones, but the blue flames around the skeleton proved resistant to the inferno. Yara's water-infused arrows struck with precision, momentarily slowing down the monster, but it swiftly pushed forward.

Shadowblade, utilizing his agility, darted around the colossal creature, delivering precise strikes, yet the skeleton's ethereal nature made it difficult for the dagger-like blows to deal any substantial damage.

The alliance leaders realized that brute force alone would not be enough to defeat this powerful foe. They needed a new strategy, one that played to their elemental affinities and exploited the creature's weaknesses.

Alix quickly assessed the situation and shouted above the roar of the battle, "Our elemental affinities might be the key! We need to combine our powers in unison!"

Alix focused his fire element and released a concentrated inferno Yara nodded, understanding Alix's idea. "I'll use my water to freeze its joints, and then Lady Xin's wind can shatter them!" he suggested.

Lady Xin's eyes gleamed with excitement. "And Captain Zao's earth can immobilize it further, leaving it vulnerable to our attacks!" she added.

Captain Zao grinned, seeing the plan forming. "Then let's do it!" he exclaimed, as the alliance leaders prepared to execute their coordinated attack.

Yara unleashed a torrent of freezing water, encasing the colossal skeleton's limbs. Lady Xin followed up with a powerful gust of wind, shattering the frozen joints, rendering the creature partially immobile.

Seizing the opportunity, Captain Zao slammed his axe into the weakened parts, further incapacitating the skeleton. Meanwhile, Alix focused his fire element and released a concentrated inferno that engulfed the creature's core.
