Below the gray curtain was a pale fire that was burning slowly, like the necessary fireplace in a manor in winter.
The faces inside the Furnace of Souls, on the other hand, displayed the faces of Lucien Evans and Xiafeng at the same time. They were both overlapping and entangled. Then, as Lucien Evans watched them, they were now separated, now they were combined, and now they were showing the strangeness that he had never seen in the mirror before.
Why was it like this?
Why was it like this?
When he first learned of the existence of the Furnace of Souls, Lucien had thought that he would not see the projection of his soul in the Furnace of Souls because he was a time-traveler. Therefore, he had one more trump card than other people. However, it now seemed that the secrets of the Furnace of Souls were even more profound and horrifying than he thought. Not only did it project Lucien Evans's soul here, but it also displayed Xiafeng's face, a Xiafeng from Earth who did not belong to this world.
"Is the Furnace of Souls also 'managing' the souls on Earth?
"Is it because I have a corresponding Host Star of Destiny?
"After I unravel the secret, maybe I will be able to understand why I was time-traveler and why I happened to be Lucien Evans …"
Countless thoughts popped up in his head. Lucien vaguely grasped something. The soul might be explained from that perspective, but he did not have the time to study the Furnace of Souls carefully. He needed more phenomena and experiment results to prove it. At this moment, the Lord of Hell was right outside and was about to catch up. Therefore, he only had the time to reach back and touch the Furnace of Souls softly.
Slight coldness was a ubiquitous feeling in the World of Souls. Lucien did not feel anything except coldness when he touched it, as if there was nothing there. It seemed that it was actually in another world and was just a projection of nothingness standing here. It was completely compatible with the untouchable, unapproachable, and transcendental appearance that it presented.
In the touch, Lucien's right eye suddenly turned red, crystal clear, pure and dreamy.
"Vengeful Gaze!"
A streak of red light, enhanced by the Hand of Uncertainties, was darted out of Lucien's right eye and hit at the Lord of Hell in the cage of 'Gravity Collapse' at the real speed of light.
Lucien would never be satisfied if he did not take the opportunity to give him a try and try his luck!
After casting the spell, Lucien flew to the depths of the temple where the Furnace of Souls was located without looking back. Two pathways appeared in his spiritual senses. One of them was no longer black or white, but grey and full of mysteries and intimidating danger. The other one had vague ripples of nothingness, as if something that Lucien was very familiar with was in it. Also, it carried a more dangerous and horrifying air than the other one, as if a monster that could destroy the world was hibernating there.
"Familiar? The place where the mysterious existence of the World of Souls sleeps? " Lucien thought of the miserable existence first. He was about to be revived, only to be schemed against by the Lord of Hell and the God of the Silver Moon, and he fell into a deep sleep again. "But the sense of familiarity does not match the impression that he left on me …"
Having no time to distinguish the two feelings of familiarity, Lucien subconsciously chose the grey and hazy pathway. The danger that spread out of the other pathway was not something that he could bear. Even the Lord of Hell and the God of the Silver Moon did not dare to enter the place casually.
The pure red light hit the Lord of Hell at the standard speed of light and penetrated through the sacred barrier of the Blessed Realm.
Finally, he could not dodge it with his terrifying speed anymore!
However, the effect of 'Hand of Uncertainties' was not carried out. 'Vengeful Gaze' disappeared after piercing through one layer of defense, causing no damage to the Lord of Hell at all.
In the darkness of the hemispherical void, the Lord of Hell suddenly moved his right hand, pulling the cage of 'Gravity Collapse' into pieces.
His lips curled again. Watching Lucien's back disappear behind the Furnace of Souls with a unique smile of mockery, he shook his head leisurely, not infuriated by his escape at all. He simply mumbled to himself in a low voice, "Strange.
"Strange. There seems to be something weird hidden in this ray spell, something that makes my heart throb. Humph. Lucien Evans, the Secretive, is always able to do strange things …" Lucien muttered to himself.
Then, he crossed his arms and stood in front of his chest like a slanted cross. His body immediately blurred and disappeared.
Hardly had Lucien stepped into the grey and hazy pathway when the spectres outside roared in shock and fury, as if he had done something that would infuriate the spectres. However, most of the spectres did not dare to approach the Furnace of Souls at all. Only a Servant of Death who was wearing a black cape and dragging a long scythe and a Dragon Lich whose rotten pus was dripping furiously chased after him. They passed the Furnace of Souls and entered the grey and hazy pathway.
"Hoooooo!"
Angry roars came from all directions. A few legendary spectres seemed to have sensed Lucien's blasphemy and were approaching crazily.
The Lich King, who was fighting the Lord of Storm together with the two 'saints', suddenly had the gem on his head glitter. He grunted in anger and disappeared directly, escaping from the battle and directly teleporting to the Furnace of Souls.
Seeing that, 'Aleksey' and 'Uriel' also performed their divine powers and fled without giving Fernando a chance to counterattack. Without the help of the Lich King who had a lot of weird spells, the two of them would be completely suppressed by the Lord of Storm. Calculating the time, 'Ivan's God's Grace' was about to enter a long buffer. The deeper they went, the slower the time would be. Although it did not take Lucien long to reach the Furnace of Souls, it had been a long time outside. Naturally, 'God's Grace', which could forcibly improve one's strength, couldn't last for long.
The Lord of Storm did not chase after them. Instead, he took out a magic crystal ball and searched for other people with his strength as a top legend. This time, he was here for exploration, not to destroy the foundation of the North Church. The safety of Lucien, Klaus, Erica and the rest of them was more important.
The crystal ball became dark, and four brilliant stars popped up inside. One of them flashed and was enshrouded in grey mist.
"Only four Host Stars of Destiny … Has Klaus perished?" Fernando roared uncontrollably in fury. Lightning flashed and storms raged around him, reducing the palace into ruins. "Lucien seems to have entered the Furnace of Souls?"
That was the only place where Lucien's Host Star of Destiny would lose its effect, and Lucien's Host Star of Destiny would be frozen in the haze.
Inside another high palace, Saint Ivan, whose 'God's Grace' was about to disappear, slightly changed his expression. As if he had sensed the changes around the Furnace of Souls and the retreat of Aleksey and Uriel, he seized the opportunity while he was still suppressing Douglas and flapped his bright godhood wings, disappearing into countless spots of light and sending a message to Felix and the angel of light not far away.
Therefore, Vicente and Erica were caught unprepared as their enemy fled. Since the battle started, the two legendary sorcerers had been on the losing side. Erica, in particular, was already showing signs of danger.
"Let's go to the Furnace of Souls." They received the electromagnetic messages from Douglas and Fernando respectively.
Since the few intelligent legendary spectres were on their way to the Furnace of Souls, they were not stopped. A moment later, they reached the Furnace of Souls through a series of transmissions. They saw Douglas in a black tailcoat, Fernando who was unstable and raging, and countless spectres in the square before the Furnace of Souls. A lot of legendary spectres were hiding among them. They were roaring threateningly but did not dare to approach the Furnace of Souls.
"Klaus has perished. He was killed by the Light of Judgment. There's no telling who did it." Douglas said the result that he predicted based on the situation on the spot. It was very close to the truth.
"What? Klaus has perished? " Erica asked back in disbelief, with intense sorrow. Although she was not very close to Klaus, as a companion who had gone on adventures together, his death perhaps represented her future.
Vicente had the same feeling, but he keenly noticed something. "Mr. President, Ivan is stopped by you, and Felix is fighting me. It should be very easy to determine whether it was Aleksey, Uriel, or the angel of light that 'Geno''s item turned into."
"Aleksey and Uriel are attacking me." Fernando's voice seemed to be suppressing a volcano that was about to erupt.
Erica said in shock, "It's the angel of light that I'm fighting!"
Who was it that did this? Were there other experts in the Temple of Spirits who were capable of legendary divine powers?
Dense clouds of suspicion rose in their hearts, making them not in the mood to study the Furnace of Souls.
Hooooo!
The legendary spectres moved forward slowly, as if they were holding back their fear.
Douglas was back to himself. He pressed his right hand. "There's no time to waste. Remember the feeling of the Furnace of Souls and study it carefully after we return."
Fernando shook his head and bulged his red eyes. "You retreat first. I'll go find Lucien. As a top legend, I'll definitely be able to bring him back safely as long as we don't go any deeper."
Even if they could not defeat him, they could still escape.
Erica opened her mouth, but she could not say anything.
After a brief silence, Douglas pulled his bow tie. "I'll go find Lucien with Fernando. In such a way, we will be able to escape no matter how dangerous it is. You take the opportunity to leave the Temple of Spirits and bring back the preliminary exploration of the Furnace of Souls and the secrets of the North Church."
"Mr. President …" Erica did not know whether she wanted to stop him or participate.
Douglas said resolutely, "Stop wasting time. Let's do it!"
Vicente had moved his eyes to the Furnace of Souls. His skinny face was full of uncontrollable zeal. Erica shifted her focus too. She focused on memorizing the feelings and the details of the Furnace of Souls and tried different spells.
Roar!
Countless Legendary Undead Creatures led the Undead Calamity closer and closer, with the Centaur Archers hidden among them.
Witnessing the appalling number of legends and the undead army, and sensing the immense pressure, Douglas heaved a soft sigh. "Go to eternal sleep."
He flew up and pressed down with both hands.
"Eternal Blaze!"
* Rumble! * A bright sun rose from the Centaur Archer's location. The surrounding undead dissipated before they could even react, as if they had melted into the air.
"Eternal Blaze!"
"Eternal Blaze!"
Suns rose one after another, and an unimaginable storm of energy rumbled in the square that was dozens of kilometers wide. Even Fernando, Vicente, and Erica, who were at the edge of the explosion, had to cast a few more layers of defense on themselves.
Ah!
The miserable screams came to an abrupt end the moment they echoed. Those spectres below level-three legendary couldn't resist 'Eternal Blaze' at all. Also, their intelligence prevented them from running away in time. They simply swarmed at the enemy instinctively.
The whole Temple of Spirits lost the frozen black, white, and gray. Everything was illuminated by the dazzling light.
By the time everything calmed down, the square had already turned into a deep pit. The undead creatures that couldn't be counted before were all gone. Their roars were all gone.
"The world is quiet now …"
Erica remarked with mixed feelings. Seizing the opportunity, she and Vicente teleported out of the Temple of Spirits. It was impossible to jump into their own demiplane here.
After observing the Furnace of Souls carefully, Fernando passed it like a storm and entered the grey pathway together with Douglas.
"They've all gone in …" 'Ivan', who had the standard big nose of the Schachran Empire, appeared in midair with unprecedented solemnity.
