After all the bats were corrupted by the burning crimson eyes, Leona spat out a mouthful of blood. Her face turned pale.
“That power feels… ancient. It’s even unbearable to look directly at it. It just burned my soul!” Leona looked at the burning eye in terror.
Xu Yuan looked at the burning eyes. Was the power an ancient one that existed before the gods?
They had come too far to turn back now. He ordered the Vampire Duke and Ferula to launch another attack.
Their powers could inflict unimaginable damage.
The surrounding space shattered, and the light distorted. Even the indestructible city walls would collapse when faced with such massive power!
However, when the two terrifying attacks reached the burning crimson eyes, they dissipated into nothing.
It was as if there was an invisible giant hand wiping out everything!
The Dark Soul Devourer and Ferula were unwilling to retreat. They tried again, but it had no effect at all.
Xu Yuan looked at the bottom of the spire.
The tall stone door opened to both sides, revealing a pitch-black interior.
“Su Wan, command the front Night Devil Bees to explore the spire,” said Xu Yuan.
The system had not yet prompted the capture of the spire. It was unknown if there was any other threat inside.
The Night Devil Bees flapped their wings and flew away. When they approached the stone door, they stiffened. Under everyone’s gaze, they crumbled and fell like rocks.
The Night Devil Bees didn’t even have time to struggle. They were dead!
‘Why can’t 1 sense anything in there?’ Su Wan took out a grayish-black statue from her pocket.
The statue in Su Wan’s hand had broken wings on its back and octopus-like tentacles on its head. Both hands were on its knees.
The treasure emitted a faint light and activated itself. The light enveloped Su Wan and Xu Yuan.
The two of them floated towards the spire.
The extraordinary heroes were stunned.
Xu Yuan waved his hand and gestured for them to stop their attacks. They obeyed and watched Xu Yuan and Su Wan nervously.
If anything went wrong, they would rush to their rescue.
As they approached the spire, Xu Yuan still couldn’t sense any danger. However, he sensed the eagerness of the ancient god statue.
This statue seemed to be longing for something. Xu Yuan was curious to see what it was.
They arrived at the area where the Night Devil Bees had disintegrated. Without hesitation, they flew past.
In an instant, a gentle energy, like a breeze, swept over their bodies. It felt as though a long-slumbering dragon had suddenly opened its eyes and was glaring fiercely at them.
Then the energy disappeared without a trace.
They finally relaxed. They quickened their speed and descended from the sky before the massive stone door.
The inside was still pitch-black, and nothing could be seen.
Their shadows elongated under the light from behind them. As they proceeded further, they were swallowed up by the darkness.
Xu Yuan pulled Su Wan along with him and strode forward. In just a few breaths, they had passed through the stone door.
The dim light emanating from the ancient god statue suddenly brightened.
The endless darkness disappeared, revealing a world of blood.
The ground was blood-red, the surrounding walls were blood-red, and even the floating air carried a tinge of blood.
In this endless blood-colored world, there stood a towering and broken corpse. Despite having died countless years ago, it still gave off a strong aura.
The corpse was covered in countless scars as if a blade had wreaked havoc on them.
Xu Yuan’s gaze gradually moved upward. He frowned as he looked at the head of the corpse.
The corpse, over thirty meters tall, had countless tentacles growing outward from its head.
The tentacles seemed familiar. Su Wan lowered her head to look at the statue in her hand.
She then looked up at the giant corpse. The statue resembled the corpse!
At this moment, the ancient god statue radiated an intense aura amidst the blood-colored light. Desires, excitement, and anticipation surged from it.
The ancient god statue had been nurtured with countless efforts since the beginning, and it had helped them overcome many difficulties. It seemed to have discovered something important.
Looking up again, Xu Yuan carefully examined the broken corpse.
The head was covered with octopus-like tentacles. He could faintly see no eye sockets. One eye was shattered, while the other eye had disappeared completely. They were sinister black cavities.
Su Wan suddenly thought of the eyes on top of the spire, burning with crimson flames.
‘Do those horrifying eyes belong to this strange corpse?’
They took a few deep breaths to calm themselves. This was the remnant of the ancient god.
The gods born at the beginning of the world were the old gods. They wielded power that governed the entire world. After the death of the old gods, the rules and power were taken over by the present gods.
This corpse contained the mighty power of ancient times. If they proceeded hastily, the power of the old gods might incinerate them.
After using the True Eye of the Demon Dragon to examine the corpse, Xu Yuan and Su Wan looked at each other in disbelief and delight.
It was indeed the ancient god’s corpse, and its energy was immense!
They felt like they had won the lottery!
Su Wan gently caressed the statue in her hand. Xu Yuan gazed up at the corpse with anticipation.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Yuan held Su Wan’s hand and infused his power into the ancient god statue.
A dim light shot into the air. In the blink of an eye, a beautiful, translucent figure appeared.
It was a divine soul!
A divine existence that could infinitely resurrect and reside within the ancient god statue.
When Rona appeared, she elegantly bowed to them.
As the life essence originally belonged to a Night Elf and was preserved within the ancient god statue, she retained the beauty of an elf.
“Can you sense any aura or remnants of a soul inside this corpse? Is there any residual consciousness?” Xu Yuan asked without wasting any more time.
With an existence like the ancient gods, it was always wise to be prepared.
“The power of this corpse has already dissipated by more than half, and the surrounding environment has a great inhibiting effect on the soul. No matter what entity it is, it is impossible to preserve its soul within this body,” Rona said as she turned to the giant corpse to examine it..
