A cliff.
Surrounded by bottomless cliffs, there was a narrow winding path that led straight into the depths of the earth.
There was nothing in the void of space, only endless darkness.
Other than the path below, there was nothing else to be seen.
Magic Dragon led his two brothers forward cautiously.
"Do not use any power, otherwise, we'll attract the wraiths' spirits and all of us will die" Magic Dragon warned them.
The two brothers nodded in unison.
Just now, in the dark void of space, an ugly glowing spirit body had flown past.
It was completely unfathomable.
As Gu Qing Shan watched from afar, she felt a chill in her heart.
Afraid?
My body is afraid?
Gu Qing Shan thought in surprise.
While walking, Zhao Jiuxuan asked: "Big brother Leng, if you obtain that Divine Artifact, will our world be saved?"
"Even the Mo Luo Bow and the Wraith Divine Talisman were forced away by it, do you think it's powerful or not?" Magic Dragon asked in return.
"It is!" Zhao Jiuxuan excitedly replied.
"Wait a minute, if it's such a powerful Divine Artifact, why haven't the Wraith Lords come here to take it away after so many years?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Magic Dragon smiled and replied: "Because they're feeling guilty"
"Guilty?"
"Indeed, they're all cultivators, newcomers to the Wraith realm, not true wraiths. Furthermore, that place is a sealed site from before the Great Tribulation, other than wraiths, anyone who tries to enter would be devoured by the millions of wraiths" Magic Dragon explained.
As soon as he said that, Magic Dragon seemed to have noticed something and sent his voice: "Don't move, don't make a sound"
The three of them instantly stopped.
Within the vast darkness above their heads, countless glowing objects were flashing and flickering.
— — -they were gigantic wraiths.
However, they weren't solid, but rather in a semi-transparent spirit form.
These spirits looked like glowing creatures floating in the deep ocean, quickly flying past the three of them and disappeared into the darkness on the other side.
This was the first time that Gu Qing Shan was able to truly feel their aura.
He lowered his head and gently stroked his palm.
His palms were covered in cold sweat.
Just his spiritual body alone was already so strong to such an extent?
Gu Qing Shan secretly sighed.
I thought I had a thorough understanding of the Wraith realm, but there was still such a terrifying place.
The three of them waited quietly.
Several breaths later.
Magic Dragon raised the statue in his hand and glanced at it.
The statue nodded at him and said, "You're safe."
Only then did the three of them heave a sigh of relief and continue walking down.
"How much further?" Zhao Jiuxuan asked.
"Soon, there will only be more Wraiths below — — from now on, we'll use voice transmission to converse, don't make any more noises" Magic Dragon said.
"Yes." Zhao Jiuxuan and Gu Qing Shan replied.
Gu Qing Shan was lost in thought as she walked.
— — -in such a dangerous place, the wraith cultivators would naturally not rashly enter. But if there was an extremely powerful Divine Artifact here, the situation would be different.
The wraith cultivators would definitely come up with all sorts of plans, even if it meant sacrificing human lives in order to obtain that Divine Artifact.
Even if we take a step back, Reneedol is a greedy person by nature.
Does she not have any thoughts about the Divine Artifact below?
"Brother Leng …"
Gu Qing Shan slowly sent her voice, voicing her doubts.
Magic Dragon's gaze appeared a bit nostalgic as he muttered: "In truth, a long time ago, the wraith cultivators had sent Professionists from several dozen worlds to explore this place, but even after everyone died, they still couldn't reach the innermost part"
"After the Empress found out, she used the power of this Mystical Artifact to avoid all the Wraiths' spirits and brought people inside once … but she ultimately gave up on that Divine Artifact …"
"How could she be willing to give up on such a powerful Divine Artifact?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That Divine Artifact conversed with her for a bit, telling her that it wasn't time yet, forcibly taking the Divine Artifact away would result in death — — even if she was the Empress, she would still be devoured by all the Wraiths' spirits, not even her soul would remain" Magic Dragon replied.
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
— — would die.
You don't say, this was actually enough to scare Reneedol.
How did Magic Dragon know about such a secret?
Most likely, it was because of his past life.
He used to be a genius of the Wraith realm, once entering the center of power.
Now that he was reborn, he was unable to fight against his own world's Apocalypse, so he naturally thought of the Divine Artifact in the Wraith realm.
— — -but that Divine Artifact told Reneedol that it wasn't time yet.
Could it be that it's time already?
Magic Dragon sent his voice: "In truth, there are quite a few paths that could lead underground, but ever since the Divine Artifact rejected the Empress, these paths were all sealed off by the cultivators because they were too dangerous"
"— — -and I happen to know this path that no one else has taken"
At this point, the eerie statue suddenly spoke up:
"Hurry and hide!"
The Mystic Dragon immediately stopped in his tracks and lay down on the ground, sticking to the path without moving an inch.
Gu Qing Shan and Zhao Jiuxuan also concealed their presence and hid on the path.
This path was so narrow that Gu Qing Shan had to lean sideways in order to stay completely on the ground.
— — -right in front of her was a bottomless abyss.
Countless spirits could be seen faintly in the void of darkness outside the abyss.
One breath.
Two breaths.
All of a sudden, an unprecedentedly gigantic spirit appeared from the void of darkness.
「 Ooo … ooo … ooo … too long … too long … 」
It uttered a sorrowful cry, then flew up from the void of space on the left of the three of them, only disappearing after a long while.
「 We're safe 」
The eerie statue said.
The three of them stood up and continued forward.
"The power of that spirit just now had far surpassed my imagination — — what exactly were those spirits?" Gu Qing Shan sent her voice and asked.
"I'm not sure, but the Wraith cultivators all believed that these spirits were a part of a Divine Artifact" Magic Dragon replied.
Gu Qing Shan fell silent.
If that's the case, then the Divine Artifact is too powerful.
Any one of the Wraith spirits that it could casually summon would be able to sweep through the entire Wraith realm.
No wonder Reneedol didn't dare to act rashly even though she controlled countless worlds and had two Deities of Fate serving her.
No wonder Magic Dragon said that it was a Divine Artifact that far surpassed the twin swords Heaven and Earth.
"We still don't know what's going on outside, let's hurry up, we're almost there" Magic Dragon sent his voice.
Gu Qing Shan and Zhao Jiuxuan both nodded.
After that, the three of them kept moving and stopping, occasionally hiding on the path to avoid the Wraith spirits.
Finally.
They reached the end of the path.
In the darkness around them, they could faintly see other paths leading to this place.
— — -this was a stone platform hovering in the void of space.
At the center of the stone platform, a sword was stabbed into the ground.
"That's it"
Magic Dragon's tone was hoarse as he spoke.
After two lives, I'm finally standing here once again.
He was about to walk towards the sword.
"Wait!" Gu Qing Shan grabbed his shoulder.
"What's the matter?" Magic Dragon asked.
"Brother Leng, even the Empress was rejected by it, how do you know it won't reject you?" Gu Qing Shan asked in return.
Magic Dragon chuckled with a bit of emotion in his eyes.
He thought for a bit, then sent his voice: "At this point, there's no need for me to hide it from you anymore. In truth, my strongest ability isn't my strength, but rather a unique innate ability that I have — — - affinity with artifacts"
"Affinity with artifacts?" Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked.
"That's right, it sounds very normal — — but did you know? I once found three genuine coins among the countless counterfeits, "the Mystic Dragon said proudly.
"What's so special about coins?" Zhao Jiuxuan doubtfully asked.
"You don't know how precious those coins are — — -" Magic Dragon chuckled: "In truth, this ability of mine is something I've always had since birth, it's part of my soul. It's the only one in the entire space vortex, there's no one else who has my affinity with artifacts"
"That's why the Empress can't, but I can!"
He quickly walked towards the sword.
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
Who would've thought that Magic Dragon would have such a trump card?
No wonder he was able to obtain the Key of the Past.
— — in other words, he can use this ability to directly subdue the sword?
Gu Qing Shan's gaze fell onto the sword.
The sword …
He silently sensed it, but felt an ominous feeling.
Gu Qing Shan's thoughts quickly turned and shouted again: "Brother Leng, you have that Occultism artifact in your hand, why don't you use it first to see if you can retrieve the sword?"
Magic Dragon stopped, turned around, and stared at Gu Qing Shan with a strange gaze.
"Chu Feng, there's no need to be so cautious, I know my own abilities very well, there definitely won't be any issues" he said.
"I'm just worried that there might be other problems" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Magic Dragon pondered and raised the statue in his hand.
"Can I retrieve the sword?" he asked the statue.
The white-bearded old man opened his eyes, glanced at Magic Dragon, and sang: "There's no time in my life — — -"
The music started.
The white-bearded old man waved his hand while singing: "Don't force it, don't force it ~"
After singing this, he suddenly disappeared into the void of space.
— — -he ran away.
Magic Dragon froze.
Gu Qing Shan's thoughts quickly turned and shouted: "Brother Leng, something isn't right, you should listen to the Occultism artifact and not retrieve the sword"
Magic Dragon looked at the sword with a conflicted expression and muttered in a low voice: "I've planned for so long, I can't give up just because of a few words"
"You're right, a rare living being who has an affinity with a Divine Artifact"
The voice came from — —
The three of them all looked towards the sword.
The voice continued to resound from the sword:
[Finally, this moment has arrived. This is the moment of my awakening, the time for me and my master to fight together and achieve unparalleled greatness]
Clang!
The sword abruptly flew up and hovered in front of Magic Dragon.
[Come, cut off your shameful past with me, defeat the enemy in your heart, and fight against the Apocalypse together] the sword vibrated.
Gu Qing Shan's expression changed, about to step forward to stop it, but found that she couldn't move.
A line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Your soul is trapped within the Deep Demon's seal, unable to move]
At the same time, Magic Dragon had reached his hand out.
He grasped the sword.
