Chapter 62: The Ultimate Trial

The team, filled with tension and anticipation, walked deeper into the heart of the temple. The more they went in, the stronger the mysterious aura in the air became, as if each step they took was onto the edge of the unknown.

Finally, they arrived at a vast hall. The ceiling was inlaid with countless twinkling gems, resembling a brilliant starry sky. In the center of the hall stood a tall altar, on which rested a treasure chest emitting a dazzling light. A mysterious energy shield surrounded the chest, making it difficult to approach.

"Is this the place where the ultimate power is stored?" a team member whispered. Lynn nodded, his gaze firm on the chest, saying, "Yes, but this last trial won't be simple. Everyone prepare."

Just then, a group of shadows suddenly surged from all directions of the hall. These shadows had various forms, some like ghosts, others like demons, exuding an evil aura.

"You foolish creatures, daring to enter here. This ultimate power belongs to us, none of you will take it away!" a low voice came from the shadows.

Lynn shouted fearlessly, "We won't let you succeed. We came here to save the wasteland world, and this ultimate power must be in our hands!"

The battle erupted instantly. The shadows surged toward the team like a tide, their attack speed incredibly fast and their techniques strange. The team quickly unleashed the power of their divine artifacts for defense while searching for opportunities to counterattack.

In the fierce battle, the team discovered that these shadows were stronger than they had imagined. They seemed to be able to absorb the surrounding dark energy, making themselves even stronger. Moreover, the shadows seemed to have a certain coordination, working together to form attack barriers that made it difficult for the team to break through.

"This isn't working. We need to find a way to break their defenses," Lynn said loudly. The team began to think of a strategy. Suddenly, one member noticed that the shadows had a brief pause during their attacks, just like the dark wizard and the statues they had encountered before.

"Everyone pay attention, they pause during their attacks. We should seize this chance to concentrate our attacks!" the member shouted.

The team nodded and waited for the opportunity. When the shadows launched another attack, the team seized the brief pause, concentrating the three attributes of their divine artifacts and the mysterious power to launch a fierce attack against the shadows.

A powerful energy wave surged toward the shadows. The shadows wobbled under the impact of the energy wave. Seeing the effect, the team grew more excited and intensified their attack. However, the shadows quickly recovered, and their attacks became even more frenzied.

Just then, Lynn suddenly remembered the key he had obtained from the second trial. He took out the key and thought to himself, "Could this key be related to the shield protecting the chest?"

Lynn decided to try. He walked toward the chest, carefully avoiding the attacks of the shadows. As he approached the chest, he inserted the key into a seemingly suitable hole in the shield.

A miracle happened. As the key was inserted, the light on the shield began to flicker, then gradually dimmed. Finally, the shield disappeared, and the chest was fully exposed before everyone.

"We succeeded!" Lynn shouted excitedly. Seeing this, the team's morale soared. They fought even harder against the shadows, trying to give Lynn time to open the chest.

Lynn quickly opened the chest and found a gem emitting colorful light inside. The light of the gem illuminated the entire hall, filling people with a sense of unprecedented sanctity and power.

"Is this the ultimate power?" Lynn murmured to himself. Just as he was about to pick up the gem, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the chest, directly striking Lynn.

Lynn felt a dizzying sensation, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. It turned out that the gem needed to undergo a special trial before it could be accepted by its user. Only those truly worthy of the ultimate power could withstand the impact of the light.

Seeing Lynn's condition, the team grew frantic. They fought against the shadows while shouting loudly, "Lynn, hold on!"

Lynn gritted his teeth and struggled against the impact of the light. Images of the wasteland world flashed in his mind—cities destroyed by evil forces, people suffering and enduring. He told himself that to save the world, he must persevere.

As time passed, Lynn gradually adapted to the impact of the light. His body stopped trembling, and he slowly extended his hand to pick up the gem.

When he picked up the gem, a powerful force surged into his body. He felt as if he had gained infinite strength, his eyes becoming sharper, and an aura of authority surrounding him.

"I succeeded!" Lynn shouted excitedly. The gem in his hand glowed intensely, and he merged its power with the power of his divine artifacts before unleashing it toward the shadows.

An immensely powerful light surged toward the shadows, dissolving them one by one under the radiance. The evil aura also disappeared, and the hall returned to peace.

The team cheered. They knew they had finally succeeded in obtaining the ultimate power. Lynn looked at the gem in his hand, filled with a sense of responsibility. He knew the road ahead would be long, and they would use this ultimate power to fight against evil and save the wasteland world.

Carrying the ultimate power, the team left the temple. They embarked on their journey back, ready to return to the base to fight for the salvation of the wasteland world. They firmly believed that with this ultimate power, they could overcome evil and bring the wasteland world back to life.
