Chapter 7599
A Terrifying Presence
"Xiao Chen!"
When Mo Lihai saw his soul appear, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes. He quickly stepped forward, his tone filled with concern.
"It's good that you're alright. We were all worried for you when we were on the top of Wanhua Mountain."
Xiao Chen nodded slightly, his gaze passing over the four Mo Lihai brothers and looking towards the center of the Soul Tower...
There, the Myriad Thunder Essence Gold floated quietly, its entire body shimmering with a deep blue light, a light that was both gentle and carried a hint of wildness.
Under its illumination, the originally dim space inside the Soul Tower became much brighter, and the spiritual energy in the air became exceptionally rich.
Beside the Wanlei Refined Gold, two ancient spirit tablets were trembling slightly. The surface of the tablets was covered with fine cracks, and a faint golden light shone through the cracks, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
"A new god is about to be resurrected."
Mo Lihai walked to his side, followed his gaze, and spoke with a hint of joy in his voice.
"The pure extraterrestrial spiritual energy contained in the Ten Thousand Thunder Refined Gold is constantly nourishing these two spirit tablets, awakening the dormant remnant souls of the gods within them. Before long, they will be fully revived and become your aid."
Xiao Chen was overjoyed, a glint of light flashing in his eyes...
If he could awaken two more deities, his strength would surely increase dramatically, giving him more confidence when facing the Prison Clan and other forces that covet him in the future.
He turned to look at Mo Lihai, a hint of doubt in his voice, and asked softly:
"Mo Lihai, what exactly is this Myriad Thunder Refined Gold? Why is the power it contains so peculiar, capable of both healing and awakening the deities within the Soul Tower?"
Mo Lihai remained silent for a moment, his expression gradually becoming solemn. He spoke slowly, his tone low and distant:
"This item is called 'Ten Thousand Thunder Refined Gold,' an ancient rare gold forged from extraterrestrial lightning over a thousand years. It contains extremely pure and violent extraterrestrial spiritual energy and is a rare treasure in the world."
A thousand years ago, it reappeared in the world, triggering an earth-shattering ancient war. Countless top experts fought each other for this Myriad Thunder Essence Gold, and in the end, they all perished, their blood flowing like rivers.
Later, this Myriad Thunder Essence Gold disappeared without a trace. I never imagined it would reappear today and fall into your hands.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, his eyes full of doubt: "Extraterrestrial spiritual energy? What's the difference between it and the spiritual energy of our realm?"
Mo Lihai nodded slowly and explained solemnly:
"The spiritual energy in this world has become increasingly thin and impure over time, making it difficult for powerful individuals to break through to higher realms."
However, the spiritual energy from outside the realm is different. It is purer, more violent, and contains a greater amount of power. It can not only quickly nourish the meridians and improve cultivation, but also give birth to powerful individuals.
It allows practitioners to break through bottlenecks more quickly and reach higher realms.
You are incredibly lucky to have obtained this item.
He paused, then added:
"However, your success is also related to the current spiritual environment of the Dragon Kingdom."
If this ancient treasure had appeared a thousand years ago, it would have attracted fierce competition from the top ten experts on the Celestial Ranking, and you would have had no chance of obtaining it.
"These days, most experts above the Celestial Realm are in seclusion, focusing on cultivation and detached from worldly affairs, which is quite a bargain for you." Xiao Chen nodded thoughtfully, gradually understanding the preciousness of the Myriad Thunder Refined Gold and why so many forces in the Central Region would spare no expense to seize it.
Just then, Mo Lihai looked at him, his expression suddenly becoming extremely solemn, and his tone lowered as he softly said, "Xiao Chen, there's something I must tell you."
Xiao Chen's heart tightened, and he quickly looked up at Mo Lihai with a serious expression: "Tell me, what is it?"
Mo Lihai looked at him, his gaze deep, his tone tinged with helplessness and bitterness:
"My existence was originally only left for half a month... The four of us brothers are all remnant souls, relying entirely on the power of the Soul Tower to sustain us, and we will eventually dissipate into the world."
Fortunately, thanks to the nourishment from the extraterrestrial spiritual energy of the Myriad Thunder Refined Gold, I can stay for another month.
Xiao Chen was taken aback, then his heart sank, and a strange sense of loss welled up inside him...
He knew that the four Mo brothers were remnant souls and would dissipate sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly, with only one month left.
These days, the four Mo brothers have been silently helping him, teaching him martial arts, and assisting him in breaking through, and have long become an indispensable force for him.
Mo Lihai noticed his disappointment, gently patted his shoulder, and continued in a solemn tone:
“In a month, I will disappear completely, and my three brothers will also gradually vanish. Before that, I have an important matter to entrust to you.”
Xiao Chen took a deep breath, suppressing his disappointment. His expression became exceptionally firm, and his tone was solemn: "Tell me, no matter what it is, I will do my best and never let you down."
Mo Lihai looked at him, his gaze deep and unfathomable, as if he could see into the future, and slowly said:
“From the moment we four brothers were bound to you, our fates have been intertwined with yours. We share both glory and ruin.”
After we dissipate, new deities will gradually revive in the Soul Tower, and they will continue to assist you and help you become stronger.
But remember... the enemies of the future are far more powerful than you imagine, far more terrifying than the Prison Clan or the forces of the Central Region you've encountered.
Xiao Chen frowned deeply, his eyes filled with doubt and seriousness. He quickly asked, "What do you mean? Is there an existence more terrifying than the Prison Clan?"
Mo Lihai slowly shook his head, a deep bitterness appearing on his face, his voice low and somber:
"I can't say too much, nor can I reveal too many details. If I do, it will disturb your resolve, affect your cultivation, and may even bring unnecessary trouble."
All you need to know is that the world is far more complex than it appears. In the shadows, unseen by you, there are terrifying beings who are manipulating everything, and their purpose is extremely horrific.
Moreover, they aren't even... in this realm.
Xiao Chen's pupils contracted slightly, his heart churning with shock... Not in this realm? Could it be a powerful being from beyond the realm? Or a terrifying being from another plane?
Seeing his shocked expression, Mo Lihai's tone became even more solemn:
"What you need to do now is not to ask too many questions, but to become stronger as soon as possible, to do your best to improve your cultivation, to be strong enough to deal with any enemy, strong enough to protect yourself and the people around you."
A month from now, I will tell you everything I know, including the secrets of those 'terrifying beings' and the true purpose of the Prison Clan. But now…”
Before he could finish speaking, he raised his hand and pointed a finger at Xiao Chen's brow. (End of Chapter)
