In the deep, ink-like darkness of the night, a dense and deep jungle quietly spread out, where Felix went as if it were the oldest, most secret garden of nature.
The moonlight was sparse, and the stars were but a few scattered points, yet within this world nearly swallowed by the night, a cave radiated a mysterious blue glow.
"Here?"
Felix was very surprised that such a special place existed a few kiloters away from the Valer Camp, and it seed to be shielded by so kind of barrier that eluded his senses.
Very strange.
"If it weren't for the great Lord of the Lost guiding , I'd never have discovered it."
The cave was like the eye of the earth, quietly set in the heart of the jungle, its entrance half-hidden by lush vines and strange plants, as if nature had intentionally erected a barrier, but Felix knew it was absolutely man-made.
The night wind brushed lightly, rustling the surrounding branches and leaves, making the light inside the cave even more noticeable. It wasn't glaring, but a cool and gentle brilliance.
Felix took a shallow breath and stepped into the cave, where the sight before him was breathtaking.
The mysterious glow originated from a natural spring deep within the cave, its waters flowing sluggishly, seemingly harboring so luminescent substance that cast a gentle and enchanting blue-green light over the entire area, like a dreamlike undersea world.
He plunged into the spring waters, suddenly arriving at a vast space.
The cave ceiling was adorned with crystal-clear stalactites, which shimred with an odd light under the illumination, like stars falling to earth.
As Felix delved deeper, he notice a faint sll of sulphur and the fragrance of unknown plants in the air, mixing into an odd scent.
The surrounding stone walls bore various patterns, undoubtedly all sorts of alchemical runes.
"What are you doing here, Felix?"
The sudden familiar voice shocked Felix; it was the voice of "The Destroyer."
He's here?
Then, who was the person fighting Uncle Chris outside?
Felix was full of astonishnt, unable to understand.
He walked further down and suddenly discovered a terrifying thing in the peculiar cave!
At the deepest part of the cave stood a massive container, akin to a sacred object left behind by an ancient civilization; its material was indescribable, neither like tal nor stone, but rather seed to be so special substance created through alchemy, its surface engraved with complex and mysterious totems, each line seemingly imbued with ancient power and wisdom.
And inside the container was a pale blue glowing liquid, within which stood a nearly perfect male figure.
His gold hair was as splendid as sunlight, gathering all the brilliance of the world, his deep blue eyes profound like the ocean, twinkling with the light of wisdom.
The man's posture was tall and elegant, every inch of his skin like the most ticulously sculpted piece of art, showcasing the ultimate beauty of the human body, exuding an extraordinary aura that was out of this world.
Felix was stunned.
"Are you, 'The Destroyer'?"
The male inside the container seed to be a godlike being from ancient legends, just standing there quietly, his presence made the surrounding air exceptionally peaceful and solemn, as if even the gentle breeze in the cave halted lest it disturb this perfection.
"What's going on? Lord Daniele!"
Felix finally couldn't help but call out the na of "The Destroyer," but "The Destroyer" Daniele inside the container just stared at him for a long ti.
"Crack!"
The container completely shattered, and "The Destroyer" Daniele stepped out slowly, gazing at Felix as a god might.
His gold hair gently swayed under the faint blue light, and the occasional flash in his deep blue eyes, like the brightest stars in the night sky, led to infinite reverie.
"Though many call The Destroyer, I still feel that creation is my dream."
"And I, myself, am my own greatest creation!"
Daniele's expression was serene and peaceful, as he shook his head slowly, seemingly transcending the turmoil of the mortal world and reaching so subli level of supremacy.
"This entirely new and different body will beco the path I tread toward Heavenly Enlightennt!"
So that was it, Felix frowned.
Although he wasn't entirely sure how Daniele had achieved it, Felix was very clear about one thing: aside from the "Philosopher's Stone," the ultimate dream of alchemy also involved the creation of "Artificial People."
In the world, throughout history, there had not been a great number of Extraordinary Exponents who had attained the high-level Monarch status. Each one was a top-tier Exponent, but their number was still far more than those at the Heavenly Enlightennt Level.
No matter how powerful a high-level Monarch stood, there was inevitably a difference from those at the Heavenly Enlightennt Level.
It was an imnse chasm, one that seed insurmountable!
Without a doubt, each one of them was a so-called genius, but perhaps due to a lack of opportunity, or because they were not the most exceptional among the geniuses, or maybe because they perished early in accidents, they ultimately were not qualified to touch the level of Heavenly Enlightennt.
The Destroyer was one such individual. Although he was told he was a genius in his youth, after reaching the Monarch Level and encountering those true bearers of Heavenly Enlightennt, he realized he was not the most elite of geniuses.
Only by "reforging" his own body could he hope to climb to the apex!
Therefore, he wished to create a perfect body, Strengthen his power of Bloodline, break free from his innate limitations, and obtain a new chance to reach Heavenly Enlightennt!
"It seems you still haven't completely betrayed the Fischer family, but if that's the case, shouldn't you have been killed by the power of the oath?"
Daniele gazed at him and said, "Why aren't you dead?"
"Could it be that your Fischer family really has a way to dodge Divine Power?" His face showed a peculiar look as he continued, "This entity that you secretly worship, what exactly is it?"
Felix looked at him calmly, no longer pretending, filled with solemnity and hostility.
"I won't tell you."
"It doesn't matter anymore."
"No matter how powerful the mysterious entity your family worships might be, it can't save you, Felix. The thing I released inside you has taken effect," Daniele said, shaking his head slightly.
Although the chosen of the God of Reforging were extrely precious, heretics and traitors could not be forgiven under any circumstances. The only answer was to "disable" such a person.
The next mont, before Felix could speak, he suddenly felt his blood beginning to congeal and could not help but kneel on one knee.
What's happening to ?
He suddenly rembered, Daniele had once released a silver liquid inside him...
Yes, that silver liquid seed to have taken effect, solidifying the blood inside his body. Soon, Felix was going to die for good! Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire
"Ugh."
Daniele watched the scene unfold with a calm deanor, waiting for the inevitable end.
"Soon, Chris will die just like you," he said.
Felix, trembling all over, tried to struggle, but he was utterly unable to resist the internal assault, and finally, he placed his hand on his chest.
Decompose!
The next instant, to Daniele's astonishnt, Felix directly Decomposed his own body, then expelled the silver liquid from his flesh, and proceeded to... reconstruct!
Finally, Felix stood unhard at his original position, gazing intently at Daniele, while the deadly silver liquid now lay not far from him.
Daniele, akin to a deity, hovered in mid-air with his naked yet nearly perfect body gradually floating up.
He silently stared at Felix, his eyes filled with divine indifference, his every movent suggesting the imminent descent of a terrifyingly imnse judgnt.
"But what does that matter, Felix... You are rely a low-level Monarch Exponent."
"Even if you can cling on for a mont longer, you're still going to die by my hand!"
