Chapter 732 - The Power of Quenching (2/2)

Firia looked down, thinking about it. ”Fair enough. I was too excited and didn't think this through. If you actually released that Golden Lightning Tribulation here, your allies might even betray you just to know your secret… There is also another possibility, which is fear, but I doubt it. If they know about this, they might even make that alliance again, and it will be Spirit Nest versus the Seven Influences… Maybe except Blackwade Clan.”

”Yeah. That's what I am talking about. I don't want to risk it. After all, I have been careful this whole time.” Alex sighed.

Firia nodded, understanding his thoughts. ”Still, we need some solutions. Judging how you acted earlier, there is a high possibility that you will call the Tribulation Cloud…”

Alex checked his body and confirmed what she said. ”I certainly feel that way… Does this mean I can't enter this place?”

”There is also another possibility. You can simply enter the maze as quickly as possible before you challenge your Lightning Tribulation inside the tower. No one can see it, right?”

”Indeed.” Alex nodded with a solemn face. ”I can see that there is an invisible wall above the wall, preventing us from flying. So, the only thing we can do is to complete this maze through the legitimate way… Seeing how there is an entrance, I am sure that the trial is something like you are too focused on the tower instead of the real entrance of that tower.

”I mean, what if there is no entrance to the tower… Or the one that we can see on the surface? It will lead them to despair, especially with this kind of time frame. When the time almost ends, they will start having weird thoughts and pressure.” Alex explained it the way Potential Tower taught him.

”Yeah. I can feel that as well…” Firia nodded in agreement.

”Still, this is our only option, huh…” Alex stroked his chin, falling into deep thought.

”I guess.”

”What if there is a soul residing in that tower? Wouldn't I be screwed if they know about my secret?”

”Not really. They are only souls and won't possess too much of a problem for us. My Shawl is a Divine Weapon, so it can destroy the soul if necessary. How about asking your system?”

[You don't need to worry, Host. There is also a certain will inside those quenching powers, but you can eliminate it with your Pure Fire. Although your strength has yet to reach God Rank, you can still kill the soul if you want, especially with your Pure Fire. They are nonetheless the Evolved Pure Fire from one of the highest rank Gods. After you reach God Rank, you can simply dispel that power.]

”I see…” Alex checked his body and found the wisp of will inside that power. He eliminated it by burning the will with his Pure Fire. ”I will go then. Although it seems dangerous, I feel I will get something precious inside this place.”

”Sure.” Firia smiled gently.

”Let's go.” Alex stepped in again and felt the power coming inside him.

Firia frowned as she experienced the same. ”As expected, it's indeed the power of quenching, but the strength is not comparable to my master, so it won't do anything to me… How about you? Can you bear the power?”

”Yeah. I should be able to bear it for a few minutes…”

”A few minutes? This power seems to be stronger than I expected… Normally, you should be able to handle it for a few hours. Now I am wondering how many Gods actually used this technique.”

”We have no time to think about it. Our priority is to search for a way to get to that underground tunnel.” Alex brushed the matter off, feeling the sense of emergency.

Firia didn't say another word and tried to complete the maze by running with Alex.

However, no matter how hard they searched, they were nowhere near that underground tunnel. Alex's condition began worsening, making Firia worry.

”Should we go back right now? If only we can bypass this stupid wall…” Firia gritted her teeth.

”Bypass it?” Alex suddenly realized something important. Unlike the other places, he didn't see any Space Elements around the wall. ”Why didn't I think about this before?”

”Alex?” Firia tilted her head, confused by his action.

Alex took out his sword and struck the wall.

”Heaven Light Slash!”

The sword shattered the mud wall, albeit it instantly regenerated as if there was no damage before.

”What are you doing?” Firia asked.

”I just noticed that there is abundant Space Energy in this place, including the invisible barrier above us and the tower itself. However, the wall doesn't have anything like this, only this regenerative ability. I can see it with my Spirit Eyes, so I am sure about it. I might not last long, so I am planning to go straight to the entrance with this…”

”But you can't use Teleportation in this area, right?”

”Who says I want to use that technique?” Alex smiled evilly. ”I only want to create a Spatial Gate and use the wall to connect it… Although this can only bypass a single wall, we can still advance far quicker toward the entrance in a straight line.”

”!!!” Firia's body shook, never expecting Alex to have such a plan. ”I see what you want… That is indeed a good plan. Let's go with it.”

Alex smirked and placed his hand on the wall, creating two Spatial Gates, on the front and the back of this wall.

”Let's go.” As soon as the two Spatial Gates were connected, Alex passed it, and he just succeeded in defeating the system.

Firia followed him without hesitation as they continued toward a certain location where Alex abruptly stopped.

”Alex?” Firia gasped as she looked at Alex clutching his heart.

”Don't worry. I can still go on… I have wanted to advance as soon as possible, but this is the first time I don't want a breakthrough…” Alex let out a long sigh as he created the Spatial Gates again.
