Golden flames ignited on Osiris's body, instantly raising the surrounding temperature significantly.

He conjured golden flames and burned them towards the ceiling of the maze.

The skull emitted a harsh hissing sound, and a pungent, unpleasant odor wafted out.

The skull began to melt little by little.

However, the melting speed made Osiris frown: "Is this skull so hard?"

You must know that he is a saint. The high-temperature flames he condenses can instantly vaporize even steel, yet this skull has taken so long to show any signs of melting.

Lu Ning glanced at the dissipating death energy around him and calmly said, "It should be the influence of the formation below. The entire pyramid is within the reinforcement range of the formation. Although it is not as solid as the plaza below, it is still very strong."

Osiris and the others frowned slightly.

Ya'en spoke up, "Lu Ning's words remind me of something. Will leaving that formation there have any consequences? And this pyramid should be related to the Hand of the Underworld. Is it alright to just leave it here like this?"

An Lan frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Let's find a way to destroy this pyramid before we leave."

An Lan was clearly also a little worried.

The group had no choice but to return to the square they had been in before.

This time, they weren't looking for any clues, but rather to destroy the death formation here.

This might be troublesome for others, but fortunately Lu Ning has mastered the power of death.

He used the power of death little by little to erase the array runes on it. Although it took a long time, the effect was still obvious.

Several hours later, a small portion of the array runes were erased, affecting the entire array, and the remaining runes gradually dimmed.

They then clearly felt the pyramids tremble, and the skulls that had been held together seemed to begin to shake.

Moments later, the skull on the plaza floor began to disintegrate, and everyone felt a sensation of falling.

Aishalin immediately conjured ice to support everyone.

The skull above began to fall continuously, crashing down on them.

Aisha Lin conjured ice again to block the skull falling from above.

The group stepped on the ice and rushed quickly toward the wall.

Su Qi and An Lan immediately used energy projectiles to blast open the surrounding skulls, quickly creating a passage.

The group quickly fled along the passage and arrived in the sky outside the pyramid.

Everyone turned to look behind them and saw that the inverted pyramid floating in the sky was collapsing little by little, and a large number of skulls wrapped in bandages fell into the viscous pool of corpse water below, filling the pool.

Looking at the skulls scattered on the ground, Osiris once again gathered golden flames.

This time, the flames burned fiercely and quickly burned the huge pile of skulls that resembled a small mountain to ashes. Even the corpse fluid was evaporated, and the bone sand showed signs of crystallization.

Aishalin controlled the ice block to land, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they stepped onto the bone sand.

An Lan, Jerry, and the other ninth-tier awakened individuals looked exhausted.

Steve grinned and said, "My mental energy is almost depleted."

Ling Chuan nodded, somewhat relieved, and said, "Luckily we got out quickly."

The others nodded in agreement. Although the death force inside the pyramid wasn't particularly strong, resisting it for a long time was extremely exhausting.

Although the Saints, including Yann, had also expended a considerable amount of energy, they were not yet completely drained of their spiritual power.

Yaen said, "Let's rest here for a while. Anlan, check if there are any other areas in the desert with high levels of mental pollution. We'll deal with them all. If not, we'll leave."

An Lan nodded, sat down on the ground, and took out the detection equipment to begin her investigation.

Lu Ning also looked around.

He did not see any particularly thick white fog.

The concentration of white fog around us is now about right.

While An Lan was being tested, Ya En looked at Lu Ning and asked, "Lu Ning, is there anything unusual about your gaze?"

Lu Ning shook his head.

Yann and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just to be on the safe side, they still planned to have Anlan tested again.

While Anlan was being tested, Ya'en said with a smile, "Let's also divide up the spoils from this trip."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Although their mission was somewhat dangerous, they unexpectedly encountered an entire cult group's activities, and the results were quite substantial.

After everyone counted, there were only three high-risk soul artifacts, namely the one on the last pilgrim and the two saints from the returning troupes.

There are 52 medium-risk cases and 93 low-risk cases.

However, this is not the final number of Horcruxes.

Because the morticians at those four major array nodes also possessed soul artifacts.

Some of the funeral directors were taken into An Lan's spatial bracelet for research, while others remained at the node location, and they need to make a trip there.

In total, there should be more than sixty medium-risk soul weapons and more than one hundred low-risk ones.

Of course, this doesn't even include the Resurrection Bell in Lu Ning's possession.

Besides the Soul Weapon, there's also some information we obtained this time: the moon's eyeball and the stone carving fragments can be exchanged for merits at the headquarters.

In addition, they unearthed more than 20 million high-purity soul crystals this time.

It can be said that the gains from this expedition in the Fog of No. 233 were enormous.

Jerry exclaimed, "This time was so much better! Last time, following Saint Qinglan was a disaster. I almost died and didn't get anything."

Steve nodded in deep agreement.

Last time, who made them encounter a base city phantom and a projection of the Hand of the Underworld?

It's fraught with dangers but offers absolutely no benefits.

It's all tears when I think about it.
