Chapter 567 Arcane Secrets: Part 1

“Is there really such a thing?” Giving Hope, or the vice president of the boxing club, Pei Lin was waiting for the public bus, and was looking at the chat box out of boredom.She had just originally planned to pass the time there, but she never expected to find the Ritual of Wishes the newbie Holy Light had provided.

“Ritual of Wishes? Sounds interesting...” Her interest was piqued.

A long time ago, members of the chat room had also issued similar little boons to give the normal members some enhancement to their strength.

But sadly due to the different world rules, these little boons pretty much lost their original use, and became mere decorative patterns.

Some had some very minor effects, like the warpaint. The warpaint given by Ascension did had some enhancement effects, but it was relatively weak.

“The required materials are relatively ordinary and eas to get. I can give it a try when I get home.” Pei Lin slightly looked forward to it.

Although this world did not have legends of such bizarre rituals, but if a cross-world chatroom like the Spectral Light could exist, what wouldn’t?

And soon, the bus arrived.

Pei Lin carried her bag and got on the bus, as she tapped her transit card and found a place to seat.

It was afternoon, and the sky slowly darkened.

Just as the bus had started to move, Pei Lin looked at the corner of the street with a side glance.

Beside a jewelry store, at the entrance of an alley, two quiet and dark shadows slowly walked into it.

One of the figures seemed to have noticed her gaze, and glanced back at her with a tilted head.

The eye looked like a a corpse that was soaked in formalin, yellowish and swollen.

Pei Lin quailed as she was startled.

“What the hell is with that person’s...eyes??” She felt that the person’s eyes did not look like one belonging to a living person.

As she recalled the various bizarre cases that had been occuring more and more frequently in this city and felt a sense of crisis in her heart.

“Seems like I need to be careful, and can no longer go out alone at night.”

....

....

After leaving the Astral Mere, Lin Sheng did not return to the Holy City but instead flew around the Blacktide.

He had always been curious as to what the source of the Blacktide was. So while he had the Soul Relic, and by proxy the Spectral Light, he started searching across the Blacktide.

There was a portal to the Astral Mere now, and soon a team from the Holy City will take control of it.

Lin Sheng had taken the Crystal of Prophecy away, leaving only the six-leaf Blue Tower there.

Without the Crystal of Prophecy, even if someone had ambitions there was no way to use the power of prophecy without the crystal.

Lin Sheng flew all the way, first out of the Astral Mere before going towards the area with the densest concentration of Blacktide based on his senses.

This time, he wanted to find the root of the Blacktide in this world, the first source.

The concentration of the Blacktide was different and could be felt.

In the past, it was because he could not stay within the Blacktide for a long time, but it was different now.

Now Lin Sheng had the Soul Relic within him, or the presence of the Spectral Light as he began to fly straight towards the direction of the Blacktide.

WHOOSH!

Suddenly he had a change of mind, as he looked down and quickly descended.

The black mist roiled and it seemed like this was an abandoned building that looked like a manor.

Within the manor was a ring-shaped house, with a large withered lawn that surrounded the house.

Lin Sheng slowly landed on the lawn, and looked at the direction of the house afar.

In his flight, and sensing the concentration of the Blacktide, it was the thickest here.

Standing on the ground, he slowly walked towards the ring-shaped building.

With every step he took, his body shot ahead like an arrow.

There were no attacks by monsters, but as he got closer to the ring-shaped building, Lin Sheng could vaguely feel an inexplicable oppressive sensation getting more and more pronounced.

He looked up and looked at the gray-black building.

Suddenly, a pale face slowly appeared out from the window of a building.

It was an undistinguishable figure that looked at Lin Sheng through the glass window from afar.

“I could sense... danger...” Lin Sheng felt a chill.

How long had it been that there was something that could make him feel threatened.

“Something is really... weird here...” He looked at the face by the window.

WHIFF!

He suddenly raised his hand as a huge white light blasted out from his palm into a fan-shaped beam as they bombarded against that section of the building.

BOOOM!!!

A massive cloud of dust and smoke roiled within the black mist.

Before the danger within the building could show itself, it was hit straight on by the holy power bombardment.

The powerful purification power eroded everything within the building complex in a frenzy, be it material or immaterial objects.

Five seconds later, Lin Sheng put down his hand and the building before him had been reduced to a pile of broken walls, while the sense of danger had disappeared altogether.

He looked calm as he took a step forward, and darted towards the ruins; reappearing there in a blink of an eye.

“Disappeared huh?” Lin Sheng looked puzzled.

Suddenly, a trace of cold, sinister aura came under his feet.

Without a word, Lin Sheng’s body was unleashed his holy light, as a large stream of holy light tore at the ground like a ravenous beast.

A loud bang ensued.

Within him as the epicenter, all of the surrounding ruins were blasted apart and tossed into the air.

Dust and debris flew all over as they were blown away by Lin Sheng’s Ward of Tempest, and in an instant his view became clear again.

That sinister aura disappeared.

Lin Sheng took a closer look, and found nothing had happened.

“If that’s it, that’s impossible to be the source of the Blacktide...” And just as the thought passed through his mind.

BOOM!!

Suddenly, a louse crack rang out from below.

Like an earthquake, the broken rubbles on the ground trembled as the powerful shock wave was enough to numb a person’s body.

An invisible sinister aura surged out of the ground like radiation.

Lin Sheng immediately reacted and flew to the air before looking down.

Amidst the roiling dust cloud, a giant beast made out of dust was arching out of the ground rapidly.

The beast had a triceratops-like armor on its head with three razor sharp horns on it.

Its back was like a western dragon, with two torn wings that were slowly struggling its way out of the ground.

SHINK!

The monster’s two black eyes opened, as the powerful Legendary-level aura radiated out of its dark, abyssal eyes.

“Another Legendary-level monster??” Lin Sheng felt a chill. He never thought he would encounter a legendary being in his random stroll.

The Blacktide was clearly not a place he could simply run about.

The monster’s size was about the length of a football field from a rough glance and was about ten meters tall. It was considered a medium-sized being of all the monsters Lin Sheng had ran into.

While it was not as powerful as Annihilatus, but its strength and disposition was far stronger than any monster.

“A pity. If you ran into the others, you might still be of some deterrent, but me...” Lin Sheng was missing some guardian creatures at this moment.

There were two Holy Cities, and Sherminton also lacked something to guard it.

“Light.” He stretched out his hand.

The Tidalgate opened, as a endless surge of chaotic souls rushed out and was rapidly transformed into Legendary-level holy light.

With him as the center, a massive white light beam spanning hundreds of meter suddenly lit up, and swallowed everything around him within it in an instant, be it the ruins or the monsters that had just appeared.
