Chapter 595: Touch of Death (1/2)

”I'll be quick.”

After smiling back at Duna's glare, Leon made an opening in the ice-sealed fissure and disappeared inside the veil of billowing red mist.

All the Wrathful Demonic Energy were quickly swallowed into his Black Vortex Space and refined on his way down into the subterranean world.

Aria quickly resealed the opening before remnant traces of Wrathful Demonic Energy escaped the fissure—when she suddenly noticed something about herself.

”Please watch over the seal for me. I need to cultivate urgently,” Aria made her request to the others before entering a seated meditation on Soft Feather's back.

”Hmm…” Duna glanced at Aria with a thoughtful look before shifting her gaze to Lilith, ”All you, Lilith. I'm going to cultivate too.”

Shortly after, Duna entered her own seated meditation and closed her eyes, resuming True Grandmist Energy's refinement in her body.

”I…”

Lilith shifted her glance to Soft Feather, but the Blue Luan pretended she was sleeping with her head rested on the blood-soaked ground that stained her beautiful whitish-blue feathers.

”I guess I can watch over the seal…” Lilith muttered with a soft sigh.

There was a lack of Spirit Energy in her current environment to practice Divine Cultivation while her Body Cultivation has stagnated after a single breakthrough.

'There's no cultivation pills or high-quality herbs for Body Cultivation in Human Domain… Only my clan has the right resources needed for my Body Cultivation, resulting in my lack of progress over the last few months since I left the clan…' Lilith thought.

She really did not want to go back to her clan due to the arranged marriage, but at the same time, she was also very concerned about her parents.

After Aria raised awareness about the implication that she might have caused her parents upon running away selfishly, she became even more worried.

'Between happiness and family, is it only possible to choose one? Mom, Dad, please be okay. Your unfilial daughter is coming back now,' Lilith sighed with despair.

She walked over to the sealed fissure and sat on the cold ice silently, patiently waiting for Leon's return.

…

Meanwhile, Leon continued to descend deeper into the subterranean world while clearing the heavy concentration of Wrathful Demonic Energy on his way.

”It's strange that a large subterranean space exists under every settlement I've been to—whether it's the human cities, elven tribe, or even a beast tribe.” Leon frowned with suspicion.

He knew that the subterranean world was enormous. But for there to be so many pocket spaces so close to every settlement he visited, it no longer seemed like a mere coincidence.

”Is this the demons doing?” Leon pondered.

”Whether it's the Human Domain or the Wildlands, there are traces of demons everywhere… yet I have no encountered a single demon on this continent. Instead, I ran into ugly mutated humans…”

Leon began to wonder if demons were actually their biggest enemy or this new force that has been recently revealed to him.

”It's puzzling that such a huge force has remained unknown until now despite being so widespread across the world…”

This unknown force of mutated beings definitely seemed strong enough.

If it was world domination they want, they could have done so instead of meddling in the dark all this while.

”What are they waiting for?” Leon narrowed his eyes.

Within moments, he pushed the thought to the back of his mind as he reached a vast open space in the subterranean world, revealing the Energy Conversion Tower.

”The tower is much closer than I anticipated—which is a good thing. But these guys…” Leon muttered as he landed on the ground with a heavy thud.

Thud!
