Chapter 649: Path to the Sky and Bloody Wounds (I)
The Holy Necromancer only left these few simple words before his voice disappeared. The sculpture at the end of the sixth floor suddenly made a movement, slowly moving its right arm which brandished a staff pointed toward the dome on the top of the floor. The next instant, the whole sixth floor shone in a golden color.
The group was only able to see that golden gloss in their lines of sight, and all couldn’t help but shut their eyes because of its dazzling aspect. The liquid-feeling light essence became solid at once that instant, making them unable to move in the slightest.
This intense light did not last for too long, and when it vanished, everyone could see that the whole sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity was already completely different.
The surroundings were pitch-black, and a night sky formed the surroundings. An infinity of resplendent starlights glinted all around. Right now, although they had a firm feeling as when walking on the ground, they looked just like they were walking in the midst of a night sky, staying afloat! Under the illumination of the stars, this first experience filled them with a bizarre feeling.
Not far in front of them had appeared a ten-meter-tall golden gate formed of two doors, shut-tight right now.
This sliding gate did not have any gorgeous decorations or ornaments, it was only filled with a deep golden color. They couldn’t see what was behind, but what that golden sliding gate dispersed was an abundant death energy.
A golden light swept past Cai’er’s head. She unconsciously lifted up her hand to catch it; impressively, that was the Eternal Melody.
However, right now it wasn’t just a simple skull anymore. From the tip of the skull extended a metallic key.
A bizarre feeling filled Cai’er’s head, faintly realizing that everything she had experienced was actually a preparation for opening this gate.
Every victory against a holy guard not only got her his approval and assistance, but also poured the power of its soul of a powerhouse inside the Eternal Melody. When the twelve Holy guards are all absorbed inside the Eternal Melody, the ignition of the whole sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity was intended by the Slumbering Calamity. That would cause this golden gate to appear, its key being the Eternal Melody.
What is the right path to take? Cai’er didn’t know, but right now, she already had no way out.
Turning back, Cai’er looked at the others, nibbling her lower lip, “I will resurrect Long Haochen no matter what.”
“No matter what!” Everyone repeated loudly.
Wang Yuanyuan took Long Haochen from Sima Xian’s hand, and attached him onto Cai’er’s back tightly using the chains.
As the Eternal Melody in Cai’er’s hand approached that golden gate closely, everyone couldn’t help but feel tense, even more than during all the previous trials.
For the sake of reaching this objective, they had spared no efforts, and that objective was right in front of their eyes. Just like after returning home a long time later, this made them instead even more nervous. Regardless of whether they would be able to resurrect Long Haochen with this move, they had only one final chance. After sparing no cost to arrive there at the risk of their lives, the matter of whether they could succeed was really too important.
Cai’er didn’t have any perplexed or apprehensive feelings anymore in her eyes, only determination and devotion. Her only thought was to resurrect Long Haochen. If that couldn’t be done, then she could only accompany him in the other side where they would set up their own home. At the moment, Cai’er couldn’t attend to humanity’s situation: she only had Long Haochen in her heart. What use would there be to keep living if her beloved person stayed deceased?
He was her whole world. The instant he died, her world just collapsed.
The golden gate was heavy and full of awe. When Cai’er arrived in front of it, the Eternal Melody key in her hand dispersed a scorching heat.
Lifting her hand, Cai’er put that key in, and it disappeared in this golden gate.
Immediately, an rippling golden halation spread out from this gate of light, and the surrounding night sky flickered in golden light.
Without the slightest sound, the two doors opened slowly.
The whole Bright Glimmer of Hope’s group controlled their breaths as they took a look. Right now, they felt incomparably nervous: the matter of whether Long Haochen could make it out alive would depend on this moment. Their view gathered onto the opening gate. Just what was behind?
They saw very rapidly.
The final road was right before them. More accurately, that was a golden flight of steps, which elevated in the midst of the illumination of the night sky, leading even higher in the night sky.
These stairs were placed at a slope of forty-five degrees, with this steep slope and an even step height all the way upwards to where bright flashes of light emanated.
