Chapter 761: Unknown Knowledge (1/2)

Heavin and Liriu could tell that the room was quite big, even with their low field of vision. However, the door to the room was still open, so the fused elemental energy continued to escape outside. Thanks to that, their fields of vision began to expand quite quickly. The room also had a lot of the faint blue crystal that radiated light, which helped them out.

However, Heavin and Liriu soon had to stop walking. Not because there was something barring them, but because of what appeared in the center of the room.

”There's a crystal large enough to transform into a crystal demon beast, be careful.”

Heavin shook his head in response as he said.

”No, this one is different. It barely has any crystal spikes. It looks more like a sphere.”

”Look at its bottom.”

The base seemed to be supporting the crystal sphere in the middle of the room. As the room got clearer and clearer for the two of them, Heavin and Liriu noticed that the Sphere seemed to be constantly absorbing Spiritual Energy from the surroundings. In exchange, it was releasing the fused elemental energy.

”Is this thing alive like those Crystal Demon Beasts?”

”Probably. Take a look at the base with your Mental Energy. The five primary elements are passing through them and entering the crystal sphere. The sphere is also absorbing the Spiritual Energy from the surroundings. I think it's using Spiritual Energy to fuse the elements together, just like what Senior Lucio does.”

Liriu noticed a problem, though.

”That may be the case. However, the amount of fused elemental energy that it releases doesn't match how much it's absorbing. Could it be...”

Heavin understood where Liriu was coming from.

”Yes. It's absorbing using the rest of the fused elements on itself. What we see coming out of the sphere is probably not up to the standard to be used.”

Heavin then approached the crystal sphere. He tried to use his Divine Sense and Mental Energy on it before, but neither energies could see what was inside. He could only try and view it with his naked eye. Fortunately, the crystal was semi-transparent, so he could finally see after getting close enough. However...

”This... Is that what I think it is?”

Liriu became puzzled as he got close. Since there were no dangers around, he took the chance to return to his human form. Sure enough, he was taken aback.

”A female human?”

Their sight became even better as more fused elements escaped the room. Soon, they confirmed that it was really a human. Inside, a naked female body could be seen. Other than that, they could see that she was holding some kind of pitch-black sphere. In the end, what was absorbing the elements and Spiritual Energy from the surroundings was the sphere, not the woman. Instead, the woman seemed to be trapped inside for some reason.

Heavin pondered for a bit and then took his Dark Water out of the Spatial Ring. Sure enough, it immediately tried to break free from the glass and rush into the crystal where the black orb was located. Of course, Heavin held it back just like before.

”Hum... what should I do?”

Liriu then mentioned.

”Why don't we try to break her free from the crystal first? There's no point ogling at her forever, right?”

Heavin agreed with Liriu. He quickly put the Dark Water inside his Spatial Ring and used his Mental Energy to create several blades. Heavin did the same thing as the two of them began to slash the crystal sphere. However, they only had the chance to do it once. As soon as the first cut appeared in the crystal sphere, it began to shine with a powerful light.

Heavin and Liriu immediately retreated as they looked at what was happening.

*Crack, crack, crack...*

Several cracks began to appear on the surface. Soon, it spread through the entire crystal sphere.

*Shatter!*

Before they could do anything, the sphere shattered into thousands of pieces. Heavin and Liriu used their Spiritual Energy to hold the crystals back. The woman then floated in the middle of the room, not moving at all. If the Soren Ruins wasn't in the middle of outer space, she would have already fallen to the ground.

Heavin and Liriu looked at each other and nodded. Slowly, they approached the woman while keeping their guards high. However, nothing happened in the end. Liriu then helped her down as Heavin checked her body with Mental Energy.

”She seems to be unconscious. However, she's definitely alive.”

Heavin then tried to take the Black Orb from her hands, but the woman seemed to be glued to it. It didn't matter how much he forced it. She didn't let it go. Heavin kept shaking the black orb until Liriu called his attention.

”Wait! She seems to be awakening.”

Heavin immediately stopped as he looked at the girl. She opened her eyes slowly as her vision came back to her.

”I... Where am I?”

Suddenly, her dizzy eyes opened wide as she immediately tried to increase her distance from Heavin and Liriu. However, she immediately noticed that her cultivation was sealed.

”Hmph! Do you think that just because you sealed my cultivation, I won't be able to do anything to you?”

All of a sudden, a powerful Mental Energy spread in the room as several Mental Attacks came at Liriu and Heavin. The two, obviously, were shocked to see that.

However...

”Shatter!”

Heavin used a far stronger Mental Energy wave and shattered the woman's Mental Energy in a single go!
