Chapter 798: Evil Spirit (1/2)

Tika nodded in response.

”It has something more to do with a legend passed down in our Sacred Lands. Back then, a terrible evil spirit was assaulting universe after universe. No one knew what to do with it since it was much stronger than any peak Divinity Realm cultivator or demon beast. The story said that even after the Universes' main powers gathered, they were still unable to kill it. At most, they could only force the evil spirit to flee.”

”However, it was then that a body was found. No one could tell if it was alive or dead, but that didn't matter. That's because they soon noticed something different in it. The body had an unlimited source of energy, pretty much similar to Tribulation Lightning.”

”The powerhouses of that time had devised a plan. Since killing the evil spirit was impossible, they should try to seal it. They tried to do so several times. But even if the plan worked, the evil spirit was just too strong. The seals wouldn't last more than a year or so before it escaped and caused even more destruction.”

”You can probably imagine the rest already. For the sealing plan to work, they needed a seal strong enough to hold it there forever. The problem was that they didn't have an energy source good enough for it. That's when that body came into place.”

”To create a seal strong enough, they would need the power of an entire Universe. However, if you use the energy of an entire universe to seal the evil spirit, the universe itself will collapse in a short time. Fortunately, that body had the necessary energy for it.”

Soren couldn't help but ask.

”Then why didn't you use the body's energy to seal it? Wouldn't it be much better than using the Universe's power?”

Krune was the one to answer that question.

”It wouldn't work. The Purple Tribulation Lightning is several times harder to control than normal Tribulation Lightning. If I'm not wrong, it was much easier to guide the Purple Tribulation Lightning to become the new Luvile Universe's Tribulation than using it on a seal. Chances are that the Purple Tribulation Lightning would destroy the seal instead.”

Tika was surprised by Krune's answer.

”That's correct. The Universe Powerhouses then joined hands once more to seal the evil spirit. As for why they chose this Universe, that was basically because this was one of the closest ones to the place where the evil spirit was staying.”

Feifei then asked something else.

”Tell me one thing. Why is this Universe called the Luvile Universe?”

Tika nodded.

”I'm not sure if this part's true. However, it's said that the name was written on a few belongings of the body. Since they were using it to seal the evil spirit, they might as well use the guy's name to honor his sacrifice.”

Luvile didn't doubt that. After all, he really had many things with his name on back when the calamity happened. However, he snorted when he heard the sacrifice part. He was completely unconscious because of the injuries to both his soul and body. It was so bad that Luvile's soul took who knows how many chaos cycles to finally wake up again. Simply put, his body and Purple Tribulation Lightning Source were used without his consent.

Finally, everyone understood just how Luvile got sealed in this place.

Tika then continued.

”Anyway. The Universe Powerhouses didn't have the strength to kill the evil spirit but could force it to flee. After completing the seal, they guided the evil spirit into the Luvile Universe. Of course, it was after making sure that the Universe's Tribulations had been swapped by the body's Purple Tribulation Lightning.”

”They then used the Universe's own source of energy and sealed the evil spirit in its underworld. Not only that, but they were even able to use a little bit of the body's Purple Tribulation Lightning to strengthen the seal without making it lose control. That's how it happened.”

Heavin then mentioned one thing.

”I can't understand. If this Universe is such a big deal, how come it has become a forgotten place that most universes out there don't even know about? Shouldn't it have been tightly guarded to make sure nothing wrong happens?”

Tika, Lue, and Hule nodded.

”We agree with you on that point. However, we already told you, this is just a legend from a very, very long time ago.”

Tika also added.

”I might as well be honest with you. We don't really believe this legend. Our Sacred Lands even tried to obtain the body for ourselves several times. Unfortunately, it was impossible to break the seal around it.”

Feifei couldn't help but ask.

”Arent you afraid that the evil spirit could still be alive?”

Krune didn't need Tika and the others to answer since he already understood the Sacred Lands' train of thought.

”They don't need to be afraid at all.”

Soren, Heavin, and Feifei looked at Krune, puzzled.

”Why?”
