A powerful force surged from the treasure chest, forcing me back several steps. The passage shook violently, and gravel rained down continuously, as if it were about to collapse at any moment. I could feel my spiritual energy being rapidly depleted, and my body began to tremble uncontrollably. Every attempt to break the restriction felt like fighting against a massive mountain, and cold sweat beaded on my forehead.
