"What exactly is this stone?" I asked.
It caused such a strong energy fluctuation and was sealed here.
"This one is the Ice Spirit Stone, and the one that counters it is the Fire Spirit Stone. Not just these two, every stone here was born in the Underworld, so they are naturally incomparable to those mundane stones." Xue frowned and said, "However, this stone's origin is not so simple; it probably existed since the Three Realms were still forming."
"Is it really that powerful?!" I exclaimed.
Pressing and pinching it with my hand, its face showed various quirky expressions but nothing else seemed different.
"Someone has sealed its energy; it has not yet recovered."
"What else did it say?"
"The stone that counters it was also created by heaven at the same time and fell into different places. The one who sealed it again is the guardian of the Lost City of Lothar."
"I don't understand. Why would such a treasure be sealed here and left to fend for itself?"
"It’s not a treasure," Xue said with a sneer.
"What do you mean by that?"
"It is a demon."
Upon hearing this, the white stone immediately turned furious, chattering endlessly again.
"If it and its countering stone fell into the hands of someone with ill intentions, it could destroy the Three Realms... In fact, neither of them possesses particularly terrifying energy on their own, but once fused, they would form a Chaos Spirit Life Stone. The energy released then could completely devour all life, causing day and night to disappear forever."
"This is so terrifying." My grip involuntarily loosened a bit, fearing to provoke this Little One.
"But the personalities of those two stones are too strong, and naturally, neither would want to merge with the other. So as long as one swallows the other, it will exist in its individual form forever in the Three Realms."
"However, because the energy of this little white stone is weak due to the seal, it was afraid of being swallowed by that stone and thus sneaked out." I finally understood the general situation.
The Ice Spirit Stone saw that I was finally listening and blinked desperately, its face full of pleading. Without needing translation, I knew it was asking me to let it go.
"No way," I said.
The Ice Spirit Stone widened its eyes, let out a sharp scream, and began another round of babbling.
"Shut up. Listen to me!" I shouted.
After all, its life was in my hands. The Ice Spirit Stone closed its mouth and looked at me with a pout.
"Have you ever thought about how that Fire Spirit Stone ended up here?" I asked.
The Ice Spirit Stone was taken aback, staring at me wide-eyed without speaking.
"No need to think; it must be here for you."
The Ice Spirit Stone took a deep breath, revealing its fear.
"Since the guardian of the Lost City of Lothar sealed you here, it must not want it or anyone else to sense you. So how could it know you were here?"
This question puzzled me as well. After such a long time without seeing that Fire Spirit Stone show up, for this stone to suddenly find the Ice Spirit Stone so accurately, things were likely not that simple.
"Now that the seal has been broken by you, it's impossible to continue hiding your identity," I said.
Ice Spirit Stone was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly said a lot, its eyes fixed on Stone Stump.
"It says it can help your friend come back to life," Xue said.
"Is there really a way?!" I exclaimed with joy.
"Not only to revive, but it can also greatly increase Soul Energy," Xue replied nonchalantly.
"Tell me, what’s the method?"
"Do you even need to think? Just lend your friend's body to it."
"It uses Stone Stump's body, what will happen to Stone Stump?!" I asked.
"There’s no other way; otherwise, your friend will just have to wait until their body completely turns to dust and disappears."
The situation with Stone Stump was indeed dire; I could hardly sense Stone Stump's life force anymore.
"If occupying Stone Stump's body can really ensure that no one will discover you?" I inquired.
"It says it can, as long as it hides its own aura. Moreover, it will quietly stay in your friend's body and help fulfill all their wishes," Xue explained.
"Really?"
"Yes, its only goal is to live quietly and avoid Fire Spirit Stone." Xue spoke sincerely, while Ice Spirit Stone nodded along.
"I'll trust you this once, but you must help fulfill Stone Stump's wishes, understood?" I said.
Ice Spirit Stone blinked its big eyes repeatedly, the corners of its mouth curling up.
"Go ahead." I slowly released my hand; there was no better choice. Secretly opening the barrier, if it really escaped and fell into someone else's hands, all efforts would be in vain, and the three realms would be instantly destroyed.
The Ice Spirit Stone suddenly broke free from my palm, but it didn't run away. Instead, it rushed toward the Stone Stump's body. At the moment it merged with the Stone Stump, I seemed to see a man whose entire body was crystal clear, with long hair flowing, looking as transparent as crystal.
Soon, the man disappeared, and the Stone Stump returned to its true form. A more crystalline Stone Lion appeared before me, then gradually shrank until it stopped when it was the size of a thumbnail, bouncing back into my palm.
"At least you didn't lie," I said.
I pocketed it and walked toward the cave entrance.
With the seal lifted, the stone wall returned to its original state, still devoid of any figures, but the Stone Stump was gone. I sighed; I still had to go deeper.
...
The Fighting Spirit battle on the second level was about to begin, and those searching for the Purifying Soul Stone were gathering around the Duel Arena.
Just entering the second level, nearly everyone was at their peak as Saints of the Underworld. Breaking through to Supreme Lord required certain opportunities, and the Purifying Soul Stone was undoubtedly their best target.
A figure had already appeared on the Duel Arena, yet no one had stepped up to challenge.
I walked onto the Duel Arena; this time I didn't want to wait. There was no time left; I needed to suppress it all at once.
My opponent was a green Seedling. It looked weak and unremarkable but had already reached its peak as a Saint of the Underworld. I couldn't understand how such a small plant had cultivated to this level; after all, plant-type beings were notoriously difficult to level up—fragile and inherently weak in Soul Energy without any special abilities.
"Underestimating it will lead to your downfall," the Ice Spirit Stone whispered through the body of the Stone Stump.
"What did you say?" I asked.
This question caught the attention of the Seedling before me. The Ice Spirit Stone quietly closed its mouth and said nothing more; even the aura from the Stone Stump was completely absorbed by the Ice Spirit Stone.
"Fire, Dance of Fire, go—!" I shouted loudly and began my attack.
This is not good; plants are most afraid of fire!
Two arms suddenly appeared on the body of the Seedling, with hands that had only two fingers. It reached out toward the fireball I shot, and with a pinch, it extinguished it effortlessly.
What a surprise, it isn't afraid of fire. Is it working in reverse?
"Water, Shield of Words—!"
A water barrier resembling a shield splashed toward the Seedling. When the water dispersed, the Seedling remained steadfast in its place, as if it had grown a bit taller.
"Wind, Water, Thunder, Lightning, Fire, Snow, Phantom Destruction—!"
Under the onslaught of wind and rain, the Seedling appeared particularly small, yet it seemed rooted to the ground and did not move an inch.
It didn't counterattack either; all my assaults had no effect on it, which made me quite anxious!
What exactly is this Seedling waiting for? Why hasn't it reacted?!
At that moment, I noticed many people below shaking their heads and sighing, some even looking at me with sympathy.
What does this mean...
Suddenly, several green leaves on the Seedling began to rustle and sway violently from side to side. I took a step back and stared at this Little One to see what it was planning.
"Bang."
The ground beneath my feet emitted a low rumbling sound as it cracked. The entire Duel Arena was instantly transformed into a chaotic mess of uneven rubble.
Slowly, the ground began to rise, getting higher and higher. At this moment, I had been forced into a small corner of the Duel Arena, which was relatively stable compared to other areas.
"Boom—!" The rubble exploded!
I immediately felt a chill in front of me.
I looked up... and was stunned—
A massive brown creature, resembling a ten-meter-high dead tree stump, stood before me. Its width was unimaginable; if it weren't for the barrier here, it could probably grow even larger!
The seedling protruding from its top looked like a single hair, the only one.
I gasped; what kind of monster is this?!
All my paths were blocked by this giant monster, leaving me no room to maneuver!
"Little Pink!" I shouted loudly!
In an instant, I was securely seated on Little Pink's back. Little Pink skillfully circled around this giant monster, launching attacks continuously, but it was still ineffective.
Suddenly, its body began to sprout branches and dense foliage. It was as if countless hands started reaching out to grab me and Little Pink.
The space became smaller and smaller. I was swept down by a flying branch and instantly got entangled when I fell below, choking me so tightly that I could barely breathe! The area was filled with the dense web of branches and leaves created by this creature, with no gaps at all, completely filling the barrier.
Little Pink wasn't in a much better situation; its large wings were twisted and its body curled up into a ball.
"Master—" Little Pink's voice sounded exceptionally strained.
"You go back first." I tried to recall Little Pink, but it refused to leave.
"Listen!" I urged anxiously.
Little Pink fell silent, yet it remained entangled with me in these damned branches. How could I not understand its intentions? In this life-and-death moment, Little Pink would undoubtedly choose to share my fate.
Once again brushing against death, I barely had the strength left to summon Horn Flute, helplessly waiting for Little Pink and me to be slowly crushed.
I wanted to scream, but no one would hear, let alone help; this is the Demon Realm. As life was about to be devoured, many stood by laughing and watching the spectacle, unaware of who would be the next to die.
So—
As Little Pink's life force weakened alongside mine, I summoned the last bit of my strength to say to Little Pink, "This is our final chance; let's try it, Little Pink."
That's right, we can only rely on ourselves—let's merge!
I felt Little Pink's body move slightly; it seemed not to have completely lost its will and was still responding to me.
This was our only opportunity. In this moment of desperation, the energy sparked by the sense of impending death surged within us. Although the timing wasn't perfect, the chances of success were considerable.
If we failed, it would mean—annihilation.
The journey cannot end here.
