Chapter 1133 - 1119: Secret Keeper
After Machima finished speaking, her figure also began to disappear, leaving no trace.
As if she had never appeared at all.
Baiyu took a deep breath, from her enigmatic words about the divine beings, many thoughts emerged.
Apart from the six True Divines and Evil God.
There are other divine beings.
They remain neutral, or rather indifferent to human affairs, always operating in their own world.
They hold neither goodwill nor malice towards humans.
However.
This neutral demeanor means that anyone who encounters them generally experiences some degree of danger.
Whether it’s contacting the relics they left behind, or reciting their revered names.
This presents great danger.
And evidently, the one they were dealing with now was such an existence, a neutral divine being.
Regarding the hidden divine beings.
What Baiyu could think of, and had once encountered, was the one known as the "Secret Keeper", Velvet.
The other party is a hidden divine spirit, wielding authority over secrets and knowing all the secrets under heaven.
Baiyu had some contact with this divine being in the past.
"Keep moving, we’re about to reach the entrance to the Spirit Realm."
Loloya’s expression was solemn, her gaze shifting from initial hesitation to firm determination. Three people had disappeared, making retreat impossible. Moreover, she had basically figured out the disappearance inside the cave.
When that heart-beat sound echoes again, she should be able to seize the opportunity to bring all three missing people back together.
Seeing Loloya continue to walk deeper, Baiyu followed her closely, not falling behind, harboring a subtle suspicion about this force.
The two proceeded quietly within the cave.
With only Baiyu and Loloya remaining, they could constantly keep an eye on each other. Should a problem arise with one, the other could immediately respond and assist.
The two continued forward.
Soon enough.
At the end of the cave, a circular portal emitting a faint glow appeared.
The portal was entwined with countless black plant-like vines, those plants engraved with intricate patterns, intertwined to form a bizarre pattern.
Just a glance.
And they felt a dizziness surge up in their minds.
At the center of those intertwining peculiar vines.
A huge bronze heart, intricately inscribed with dense runes, was pulsating rhythmically.
The heart was alive!
At the moment they saw the heart, they felt a mental shock, the spirituality emanating was instantly severed, as if the bronze heart was a black hole for spiritual power and spirituality, drawing in all nearby forces.
The surrounding darkness thickened once more.
In the deep and dark cave, a loud heartbeat echoed.
Thud!
For a moment, as this sound reached Baiyu’s ears, he felt his heart change from its regular rhythm to sync with the massive bronze heart.
In an instant.
His limbs felt filled with lead, hard to move.
Loloya was evidently in the same predicament.
No.
The situation she faced was even more critical.
The enigmatic power worked on her, akin to an eraser, wiping her away inch by inch.
At this moment.
Loloya was unfazed, pulling out a parchment full of writings from her pocket.
The parchment, imbued with strong spirituality, made the words seem alive, writhing like golden butterflies in the air.
Loloya’s body was rapidly disappearing.
However.
She transcended the power’s restraint at that moment, enveloped by the golden light emitted from the parchment, forming a temporary balance with the eerie and mystical power.
Gold imbued her eyes as she uttered with unquestionable authority: "The secrecy here is annulled!"
In an instant.
The enigmatic power suddenly boiled, trying to break through constantly.
However.
Once Loloya uttered those words, the golden light proliferated wildly, the golden letters forming solemn commandments, unwavering against the darkness’s backlash, and gradually dissipated.
At this moment.
As the profound darkness receded.
The figures of Machima, Isabelle, and Ali simultaneously appeared; it seemed they had never left.
"The secret power merely enclosed us, we faced no danger, it felt strange, hard to break through. If not for external intervention, we might’ve been trapped in that dark realm forever."
Isabelle immediately said.
Among them, she had been inside the longest, sensing the most. Yet when Loloya’s parchment subdued the bronze heart’s power, the surrounding darkness seemed to understand its fate, suddenly winding up and charging towards Baiyu.
Loloya’s expression changed, no time to stop it.
The others, just emerging from the Secret Realm, their Power of Destruction heavily drained, could hardly block this divine force’s advance.
Even if it was just a casual wisp of divine strength.
Even if this force had been eroded for countless years here.
Nevertheless.
It was enough to deal with Baiyu, to break through the predicament fabricated by Loloya’s Sealing Object!
In an instant.
Baiyu was engulfed by thick, impenetrable darkness. He wished to counter with the Power of Black Moon but found his body immobilized, even his thoughts sluggish.
The next moment.
He saw Loloya and the other three begin to vanish.
"In others’ eyes, I was eroded by the secret power and disappeared, yet to me, they vanished too..."
The thought flashed in Baiyu’s mind as Loloya and the three others vanished completely.
The environment remained unchanged.
But Baiyu seemed isolated into a separate world.
The massive bronze heart still pulsed.
A voice emerged from it: "We meet again, Favored of the Black Moon."
The booming voice echoed within the cave.
Baiyu stared at the relentlessly throbbing heart, realizing the surrounding darkness had calmed, lacking its previous aggression.
"Is this your guarded place?"
Baiyu asked.
The heart beat steadily, responding: "Not quite, it’s not a matter of guarding. Here once buried a secret, though that secret holds little value now, do you want it? I can trade it with you."
Baiyu never expected such a development, unsure of the other’s true intentions.
Even.
He wasn’t clear about who the other party truly was.
Despite having a guess, Baiyu still asked: "May I ask who you are?"
