Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 897 857: Divine Punishment Has Truly Arrived

~3 minute read · 827 words

Just when the thick mud disappeared by nearly half a meter, something unusual suddenly occurred.

The original mud vanished, replaced by a hard surface.

This made Lin Yi's brow slightly furrow. According to common sense, the mud's thickness shouldn't be so shallow.

After all, this pond is eight to nine meters deep, and its mud depth should reach nearly two meters.

But now, it is clearly abnormal to encounter a hard surface when only half a meter in.

However, Lin Yi quickly figured it out; perhaps this is the reason he was searching for.

Sure enough, upon encountering the hard material, he bypassed it and continued working nearby.

In a matter of moments, this area had been completely absorbed clean by him, essentially lifting the pond over half a meter deep,

Yet apart from the central area and a long strip leading to the edge, the mud depth in other places exceeded one and a half meters, verifying his hypothesis further.

Due to his swift actions, the lakebed underwent a transformative change, revealing a long passageway and a sizeable stone chamber.

Following the passage, Lin Yi quickly found the entrance, which was the stone door located about two meters below the lake surface.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yi's lips curved into a slight smile, and he couldn't help but marvel at the ancient people's ingenuity,

They managed to construct a secret chamber at the lakebed, a feat not easily achievable even in the 21st century.

Building a secret chamber underwater requires considering its airtightness first, as being submerged for a long time might cause leakage.

Lin Yi's series of actions naturally drew the guards' eyes; however, unlike the instructions from King You, these guards dared not stop him even after witnessing this,

None had the courage to utter a single word, and some timid guards quietly retreated.

Indeed, Lin Yi's displayed techniques were terrifying, thoroughly frightening them,

Now, they could only watch the Immortal before them operate, casually draining the water and vanishing the lakebed mud.

Not only that, but he easily found the underground secret chamber.

The methods used were rather ruthless, akin to a violent search.

Gazing at the chamber and passage below, then turning to the crowd hidden in the bushes, Lin Yi's lips slightly curled; yet, he ignored the surrounding people and directly approached the grand door.

He reached out to open the door but suddenly halted, withdrew his hand, revealing a mischievous smile and moved on top of the secret chamber.

He knocked above, finding hard stone underneath, and used the Armor's detector to examine the stone.

After detecting the stone's thickness, Lin Yi waved his hand, and a palm-sized object appeared in his hand,

If seen by people today, they would surely exclaim—it was a directional blasting explosive.

Indeed, Lin Yi held a directional blasting explosive specially designed for explosions; this bomb's unique feature allows it to blast in a designated direction.

As for the people inside, unless standing directly below, they generally wouldn't be harmed much.

Lin Yi brought it out and casually attached it to a pre-measured spot, then pressed the switch on it.

Suddenly, a red number bounced above, ticking:

60.59.58.

Watching the quickly changing red numbers, Lin Yi's lips curved as he exerted force on his feet, instantly floating in mid-air and shooting towards the sky.

Once high enough, he folded his arms, gazing below, waiting for the explosive's detonation.

Meanwhile, inside, King You and the guards stood around the chamber, faces against its walls, listening to the unbearable sounds.

The excited King You slapped Concubine 79 in the face hard amidst his manic laughter.

Right then, at the critical moment, suddenly came a thunderous rumble, shaking the ground beneath him.

Unsteady standing, King You fell down on his butt.

Once rock-solid, he now jumped in fright.

Instantly, he was like limp noodles.

Looking up at the ceiling, the stone wall had a massive hole punched through it.

While no large stones fell, small pieces rained down, a few landing precisely on him.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, covering the noodles with both hands, barely saving them.

Concubine 79 was already petrified. Exhausted from King You's torment, now utterly collapsed like a heap of mud.

The guards around were similarly startled by the sound, hardly reacting when the earth-shattering movement shook them to the ground.

Even those who didn't fall stood stunned, the sound and movement utterly terrifying them—was it divine punishment?

Not just in the soldiers' minds; even King You wondered the same—it's divine punishment, definitely.

Finished, this time, utterly finished, all is over.

Only divine punishment wields such destructive power.

Thinking this, his face paled—able to enact divine punishment—only an Immortal could.

The reason for divine punishment must be tied to that person.
