Chapter 117 The Horror of Seara Island Part 4

When Daniel reached the placethe desperate cries of the last worshi+pper of death he had killed, he found six of the cultivators he had su in wait

They were standing in front of what looked like an extree canyon, and by their feet, a few black-cloaked bodies lied ed to worshi+ppers of death that had been dragged there by two different cultivators, and had been killed once they had confirht place

The other side of this canyon could not be seen with the naked eye, and seemed to be hundreds of kilometers away The bottom of the canyon was shrouded in darkness, and prevented people fro noticeable from all sides of the canyon, was the last floor of what looked like tower placed right in the e, different groups had formed

The only cultivator who hadn't found anybody else once he reached the canyon, was Jerigh, which instead of waiting, juroups awaited for a few hours for other uessed that the rest had probably approached the canyon froone in already

One of the first groups to enter the canyon after Jerigh, was Daniel's group

After Daniel and the rest of his group juh the blanket of darkness, they landed on a large invisible shi+eld This shi+eld was made out of solidified space, and for for the darkness that covered the bottom of the canyon, and the majority of the tower

The death essence present just above the solidified space ice as thick as it was outside of the canyon, and it became denser the closer they'd move towards the top of the tower

As they approached the tower, the distance between the various groups was reduced In the end, the groups had reunited into three larger groups Daniel's, Roley's, and a third group composed of eleven cultivators at the ninth rank

When they arrived to a kilometer from the tower the death essence had becoain, shi+eld their bodies with their ki and spiritual essence just to avoid a premature death

The tohich from the distance seemed to be extremely thin when compared to the size of the canyon, once seen froe, that even when the various groups had finally approached the external walls, they were still unable to feel each other with their surrounding awareness, or spiritual essences

Only afteraround the tower's external wall in search of an entrance, did the three groups roup The onlyfor the large group to find the ie double door that lead inside the tower

The first thing they noticed, was that it had been already opened, and the opening was large enough to allow only one person in Secondly, fro, a trace of blood could be seen leading inside, and deafened sounds of clashi+ng swords could be heard co from within the tower

Daniel and the rest of the ninth rank cultivators immediately dashed into the tower, and the h the door, they felt the disappearance of the death essence in the air

”So this is why there was nobody around the tower The death essence was a layer of protection” Muttered a purple-robed cultivator in realization

The place they found themselves in, hat one would expect the insides of the headquarters of a cult to be

Ordered beds, utility rooe library

On the left side of the toithin a corridor, was a large flight of stairs that took to the lower levels

Strewn all over the top floor, they found a nuh covered in blood standing in the h noticed the rest of the group, he walked back to Daniel's left, and waited to follow in silence

Daniel turned to look at the group of cultivators, then said ”Roley, go and empty those libraries I want to know if there are books about offerings, forh and five others stay near the stairs kill whoever comes out of it The rest scatter around and look for clues to what the fuck is going on here”

-----

After a full hour of research, Roley walked towards Daniel with a large opened parch”

”Tellthe book he had been reading, and turning to look back at hi But it sure as hell looks like it” Said Roley with a worried face He then continued by reading a portion of the parchment ”Death will be summoned from the sacrifice of life The black hidden eye will beco death An invitation for the sweetness of death to devour life's sufferings”

”That doesn't sound good” said Daniel in a low voice

”It also says that the welco of a flarier amount of life essence than the one possessed by children We have to go down”

-----

Floor after floor, Daniel and the rest slaughtered each and every worshi+pper of death they found Only a few of them were spared so that more specific informations could be extracted from them, but they would never respond to Daniel's question, and instead, let themselves be killed

The lower they went, the more and more powerful the cultivators they were forced to face becaroup had been reduced to twenty cultivators The rest, had been forced to retire back into the spatial ring to recover their power, or recover frohts of stairs, ten more cultivators had had to one back out

The tower see down by two hundred floors, they still couldn't see an end to it
