93: Where the true God's secret treasure lies!

At this moment, Shelley sensed something.

She chanted an incantation, pressed the ice crystal Staff against the back of the Skeleton's neck, and frost flowers condensed on the surface of the bone armor.

Thus isolating the influence of that magical light on Lu Chen.

At this time, the stone chamber suddenly fell into an eerie silence, with only the clicking sound of the compass turning echoing among the spiral stairs.

A dangerous spark ignited on Ignis's fingertips, illuminating the surroundings.

Everyone then saw the magical light on Ning Xiwei's forehead instantly extinguish and then bloom again.

Ning Xiwei was Lu Chen's Summoner.

This magical light was clearly the connection between her and Lu Chen.

Ning Xiwei was half a Necromancer, after all, Lu Chen was an Undead creature.

Ning Xiwei's pale face was reflected by Lu Chen's faint blue Soul Fire.

It seemed like a Soul resonance surpassing their contract, causing her great discomfort.

And at this moment, lying in Lu Chen's arms, Ning Xiwei also understood the urgency in Lu Chen's eyes.

"The magic here is too abundant... like a tide! Is this an energy tide?" After seeing Ning Xiwei recover slightly, Lu Chen let her down and looked around at the situation.

Lu Chen pressed the compass into the indentation on his chest armor, storing it there.

The abyssal substance in the Secret Realm also began to wrap around the compass.

Clearly, besides abundant magic, abyssal substance was omnipresent in the Secret Realm.

Abyssal substance is a type of dark matter.

The Undead Race loves it most.

It can strengthen their power.

Being in such a substance would enhance the strength of the Undead Race.

The rampant starlight pouring down from all sides slowly became docile, now like fireflies returning to their nests.

Lu Chen turned around to look at the appearing staircase, pointing deep into the stairs: "In thirteen minutes, this place will probably be torn to shreds by the elemental turbulence here... This is a space torn open by magical turbulence, likely where we need to go!"

"What? You want us to go down?"

Shelley's ice-blue pupils contracted slightly!

She thought she had misheard!

Lu Chen said nothing and led the way first.

Shelley was annoyed and rolled her eyes.

She even glanced at Ning Xiwei.

The meaning was obvious.

Aren't you the Master?

Why are you following your own summoned creature like this?

Shelley felt this Secret Realm trip had certainly broadened her horizons.

The teammates she encountered seemed abnormal in every way.

Especially this Little Skeleton.

Lu Chen?

How can a summoned creature possess such great intelligence!

Shelley gritted her teeth and followed.

When she stepped onto the first step, ice crystals automatically formed a non-slip layer under her feet—this was a level of fine control even academy professors couldn't achieve.

Morning Dew noticed the hexagonal frost flower condensing on the tip of her friend's staff; that was the pride of an Ice Mage.

She could unleash powerful Ice magic at any moment!

Since Shelley followed, Morning Dew and Ning Xiwei naturally followed as well.

Morning Dew stayed with Ning Xiwei.

It was convenient to look after Ning Xiwei.

Counting from seniority, Ning Xiwei was her senior.

She had the lowest grade level here.

Everyone descended toward the depths in silence.

The flame flickering in Ignis's palm became the only light source, its glow illuminating bizarre murals on the rock walls on both sides: a Twelve-Winged Angel fighting an Eight-Headed Giant Serpent, and even an ancient god soaring on a sword battling a demon from Hell!

And in the background sky, an armillary sphere similar to the compass was suspended.

Lu Chen's skeletal finger gently stroked these murals; his gaze was fixed on the text above them—as expected, it was all oracle bone script.

Lu Chen's fingers occasionally scraped against the powerful magic clinging to the rock walls, sparking small flashes of fire.

These ancient patterns sometimes moved like disturbed mayflies.

They actually floated and swam across the wall surfaces.

Each movement also generated new murals.

"Stop," Lu Chen called out, stopping everyone, his skeletal arm blocking the team behind him.

In the wide area a hundred meters ahead, thousands of crystal prisms hung from the dome, each containing Demonic Beast Embryos of various shapes.

Lu Chen's bone saber emitted a faint hum.

The Power of the Undead uncontrollably flowed towards these things.

The compass on Lu Chen's chest armor projected a three-dimensional star map.

The twelve zodiac runes and the Bagua trigrams cast intersecting shadows.

Lu Chen looked at these shadows and said in a deep voice: "Follow my footprints, there is a Formation below!"

Arriving at the wide area.

Lu Chen walked forward step by step, following a strange, zig-zagging path.

Every time his bones touched the ground, they rang with a sound like a chime.

Behind Lu Chen, when Shelley stepped on the projection of Capricorn for the third time, the entire crystal forest suddenly played an ethereal harmony.

Just then, Ignis suddenly grabbed Morning Dew by the back of her collar and pulled her back!

The Priestess's snow-white boots almost touched the Scorpio emblem!

"Eh? Ah!"

"Little Priestess, watch the Little Skeleton's steps closely!"

Ignis reminded her with a stern face!

Morning Dew's small face flushed red.

She diligently stared at Lu Chen's steps.

At that moment, asphalt-like black substance was surging out of that area.

"I..."

Before Morning Dew could finish speaking, the Flame Demon Girl suddenly groaned and knelt on one knee!

—Crystal Threads had wound around her calf at some point, and her skin was turning transparent at a visible rate.

"Don't move!" Lu Chen noticed something was wrong, his finger bones sliced through the void, condensing the abyssal substance into a thin blade, directly severing those threads.

The severed crystal threads thrashed wildly and retracted into the dome, taking a wisp of Ignis's flesh with them.

"Holy Light Purification!" Morning Dew plunged her staff into the ground, and Holy Light burned up along the crystal threads, causing the entire dome to rain down multicolored glass.

Shelley's ice shield also covered everyone in time.

Through the translucent barrier, the crystal droplets turned into thumb-sized spiders upon contact with the ground; these crystalline creatures instantly covered the entire space.

Lu Chen's Soul Fire surged, and the compass on his chest armor vibrated at a high frequency!

The spider swarm immediately retreated into the shadows like a tide.

This compass was indeed a key!

It was even more than just opening the true gods secret treasure.

Just like what was depicted in the murals.

"This is the source of the magic energy tide!" Lu Chen's skeletal eye sockets focused on the rock crevice in the northwest corner, "According to the murals, there is a refuge rune left by an ancient Dynasty there—hurry up!"

When the compass was fitted into the entrance of the crevice, a loud noise like an iceberg shattering came from outside.

Ning Xiwei watched Lu Chen use his bone armor to block the last gap in the crevice; the contract link allowed her to clearly feel the abyssal substance frantically devouring the impact wave of the surging magic tide.

At this moment, the knowledge Lu Chen possessed.

Also flooded into her mind through a form of knowledge surpassing language.

—It was a plane coordinate of a world!

That world, she had never seen before.

But it seemed to be Lu Chen's origin...!

When the shaking stopped, Morning Dew was treating Ignis's wound.

The transparency on the Flame Demon Girl's calf had already spread to her knee, and the conflict between the Holy Light and her demon Bloodline made her tremble all over.

"The Holy Light healing spell hurts so much!"

Ignis endured the pain while being treated.

"That's because your Physique is special."

Morning Dew spread her hands, indicating helplessness!

╮(╯▽╰)╭!

"Then let my frost Seal the wound."

Frost Mist condensed at Shelley's fingertips, looking as if she was about to help!
