Chapter 572: Judgement Scale
Chen Yu slightly adjusted his breathing, then walked straight in.
As soon as he entered, a foul smell hit his face. It could be confirmed that the place was highly toxic.
Chen Yu's physical condition had long since surpassed human limits multiple times. He wasn't afraid of the poisons and, after dissipating them, he arrived deep inside the pyramid.
There was actually a hole in the ground.
He immediately released the system into the ground, but to his surprise, there was an extremely strong magnetic field below that could shield against the system's probe.
Although Chen Yu couldn't see what was beneath, he saw the surveillance equipment hanging nearby.
It looked like Di Ming had been monitoring him all along.
After greeting the camera, Chen Yu walked down directly.
The dark tunnel looked extremely eerie and terrifying. He didn't know how long he had been walking when he suddenly heard rushing water. He immediately stopped in his tracks and carefully observed his surroundings.
Only at this moment did he realize that the path under his feet could only accommodate two people side by side. The man-made canals on either side, and the walls all around were damp, with no place to get a hold.
The canals on either side were also very broad, with the water rushing so fiercely that if he slipped here, he would be swept away.
As he was observing the surroundings, a strange noise suddenly came from the canals on both sides, and in the next moment, two creatures that looked like crocodiles leapt out of the water, landing on the path.

A look of disdain appeared on Chen Yu's face. It seemed Luo Shengtian also liked to create some weird things.
He raised his palm and blue-white strong electric light spread out from where he touched the ground.
With water everywhere, the conductivity was extremely strong. In the time it took to turn around, those two strange creatures began to emit a scorched smell.
In the canals on both sides, a large number of creatures began to float to the surface.
Chen Yu didn't linger here any longer and rapidly slid forward along the passage.
But just as he was about to traverse the tunnel, he suddenly found that in front of him was a solid wall, with a passage on both the left and right sides.
Chen Yu frowned slightly. The emergence of these two paths was too sudden, and even he didn't know which way to turn.
The system rapidly analyzed the passages on both sides in this instant and ultimately chose the right side.
In a spacious hall, Di Ming sat in the main seat, intently staring at the surveillance video in front of him.
"What in the world is going on? It's one thing for him to survive the primitive tribe's poison, but how could he enter the underground palace so effortlessly?"
The black-clothed men on both sides knelt on the ground, trembling.
They, too, were clueless about how Chen Yu could precisely find every trap's mechanism, as if he had been here before.
"Master, could it be that someone here leaked the map and this guy saw our trap layout beforehand?"
Di Ming's teeth clenched with a crunch. Of course, he knew such a thing was impossible!
Luo Shengtian itself was one of the most mysterious organizations in the world.
The traps here according to tradition, were personally designed and constructed by the masters of Luo Shengtian over the generations. After completion, the artisans involved in the construction would be killed, making it impossible for outsiders to know.
Di Ming didn't ask any further, but just propped himself up with one hand, fixated on the surveillance screen.
Chen Yu had already smoothly passed through the maze and entered into the underground palace.
The maze just now had indeed left him with lingering fears; if it weren't for the system, he wouldn't have been able to find his way out on his own.
The underground palace utilized layout methods from all times and places, combined in an extremely complex manner.
Even if one were to fill their mind with all the knowledge in the world, it would not guarantee an escape.
Upon reaching the underground palace, Chen Yu took a long breath as if still haunted by the maze he had just encountered.
Just as he was preparing to move forward, the adjacent stone wall suddenly started moving rapidly.
It wasn't long before a group of figures wearing dog-head masks emerged from the wall.
Each of these figures emitted an exceptionally strong magnetic field, seemingly innate superpower users.
Each person held a weapon similar to a spear, from which a strange energy field continuously emanated.
He couldn't help but be startled by the sight of these individuals.
The energy fields radiating from these people were almost identical, and when interwoven, they could produce a powerfully strong Dark Matter Energy.
He had previously fought a naturally gifted superpower user who possessed Dark Matter Energy and was quite formidable.
Now, to see so many of them appear before him was truly astounding.
Even if he were extremely capable, he could not confront such potent Dark Matter Energy all at once.

All the dog-headed figures wielded their spears, continuously striking the ground, each strike enhancing the converging Dark Matter Energy.
Moments later, stones in the center of the plaza levitated and rapidly assembled, and before long, they formed a scale.
In ancient Egyptian legends, Death God Anubis would use the Judgement Scale to determine the fate of souls.
He would carve out the heart of the deceased and place it on one side of the scale and place the Feather of Maat, symbolizing purity, on the other side.
If the heart was heavier than the feather, it would descend into hell, and the heart would be devoured by the beast with a lion's head and a crocodile's body, condemned to never reincarnate! Only if the heart was lighter than, or equal to, the feather could one ascend to heaven.
These dog-headed innate superpower users represented Anubis, and the stone mechanism that formed the scale was the Judgement Scale.
It seemed that they intended to judge him.
Chen Yu snorted coldly; he did not believe in these ancient myths. Everything before his eyes was merely a set of mechanisms.
He immediately used the system to cover everything in the vicinity, seeking to find a flaw.
But just when he had released the system, an eerie energy field suddenly enveloped him, and a piercing pain surged continuously into his brain.
For an instant, he felt dizzy, his body growing inexplicably light.
By the time he realized what was happening, he had already levitated into the air.
Chen Yu's pupils dilated in shock; he struggled, only to discover that he couldn't control his body, which floated involuntarily to one end of the scale.
Then, a hatch opened above and a large white feather gently descended.
Chen Yu's eyes were filled with disbelief; the replication of the mechanism was too realistic!
Coupled with those impersonating Anubis, it was as though he was truly in hell.
Most importantly, Chen Yu's body was controlled by some unknown magnetic field, rendering him completely immobilized.
The Judgement Scale tipped the moment it was activated, and without a doubt, his body was heavier than that feather.
