Everyone was shocked by the scene unfolding before their eyes.

The pillar of light shooting into the sky, the enormous vortex at the center of the lake, and the receding

water—all signs pointed to a major change.

The tension between the two factions was forgotten as their attention shifted toward the extraordinary

phenomenon in the lake, silently hoping for the revelation of treasures.

The central vortex in the lake spun faster, expanding its reach as the receding water vanished into the

vortex. In just half an hour, the lake had dried up significantly.

Finally, a palace-like structure hidden beneath the lakebed unveiled itself. The grand building was

cloaked in an eerie black hue and covered in moss.

Standing in quiet majesty, it resembled a dormant ancient colossal beast, emitting an overwhelming

sense of oppression.

"There really is treasure here! This is fantastic!" The sight of the palace excited everyone.

Judging by its size, the previous owner must have been incredibly wealthy, possibly even a royal family

member from ancient times.

Such a distinguished figure would likely boast an extensive collection of treasures, enough to establish

dominance over others.

Right then, the resonance of Dustin's Celestial Eye intensified, signifying the presence of invaluable

treasures concealed within the palace.

After another half an hour, the entire lake had completely dried up, exposing a dark lakebed. At the

heart of the lakebed was a massive hole with a raging underground river underneath it.



Clearly, the lake's waters, along with its monstrous inhabitants, had been drawn into the underground

river.

The entire lake now resembled an enormous sinkhole, with the black palace standing proudly in the

center.

Other than the black palace, the lakebed was also filled with a multitude of animal skeletons in all

shapes and sizes. Intricately arranged, they presented a creepy sight.

In the wake of the pillar of light's emergence, various factions were drawn towards the lake from

different directions. All of them were groups who were in search of treasure.

The pillar of light was so conspicuous that anyone who entered the oasis would be alerted of its

presence.

Some groups who were in close proximity had already arrived at the scene, while others who were

farther away were en route.

Even though nobody knew what had caused the phenomenon, its sudden appearance naturally piqued

their curiosity.

In less than an hour, several forces had already converged around the lake.

Among them were exploration teams, martial arts sects, governmental authorities, and even foreign

entities. It was truly a diverse mix of groups.

"Damn it! So many people showed up? This is going to be a problem!" Bran surveyed the

surroundings, his wariness increasing.

Their initial strategy was to convince Grace to join them in exploring the lake.

Once the treasures were found, they planned to seize the opportunity to eliminate her group and claim

the treasures for themselves.

However, with such intense competition, monopolizing the treasures seemed impossible now.

"Adarna, Shadow Isle, Mistral Valley, Elysian Sect... Almost all major forces from Southwest and

Northwest are here!" Jackson frowned, his expression growing serious.

The Drakes Dominion Order and Frostwing Sect were hard enough to deal with, and now the arrival of

significant forces from both Southwest and Northwest made it even more challenging.

It seemed like they would have to fight their way through to secure treasure.

"Ms. Linsor, it's too late for regrets now. We'll let fate decide our course from here on out!" Yonah

declared darkly.
