EBE Chapter 3824 The Secret Chamber
Chapter 3824 The Secret Chamber
"Thump...thump thump...!"
Inside the temple, almost everyone subconsciously looked up at the sky.
A priest rushed over and said anxiously, "Reporting to the Grand Elder, the seal on the Valley of Sinking Souls has been broken, causing the Holy Bell to ring. Please make a decision immediately."
what! ?
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.
The elder of the chosen ones immediately shouted, "Quickly! Gather all the chosen ones and come with me to the Underworld to investigate!"
"Yes!"
Meanwhile, Fang Heng and Rodney entered the former palace of the Underworld.
The palace had been looted by the gods, leaving it in ruins, and traces of the battles fought during the gods' invasion remained all around.
Rodney remained silent as he led Fang Heng to the palace's back hall, through which they entered a hidden basement, until they reached a closed black stone door.
The stone gate is engraved with the emblem of the Underworld, and there is a decorative gemstone in the center.
The stone door can be pushed open normally, and on the other side is a storage room.
The storage room had been searched and was in a mess.
"Mr. Fang Heng, we have arrived. This is the secret chamber of the Underworld Emperor."
"Oh?"
Fang Heng examined the stone door before him, his right eye slowly rotating.
"I see."
Fang Heng muttered to himself.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered the secret of the stone gate.
The Underworld race made meticulous modifications to the gate. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary gate, but in reality, it has a special alchemical magic array mechanism. After being triggered by the corresponding means, this gate can open a specially created space.
A very subtle technique.
If Rodney hadn't pointed him out, he wouldn't have discovered the hidden entrance to the space behind the door.
Fang Heng observed the alchemical patterns inside the gate through his Divine Eye, secretly praising it. He stepped forward, replaced the decorative gem in the groove on the gate with the Netherworld Clan emblem given to him by the Netherworld Emperor, and then placed his hand on the gate, slowly pouring in undead attribute spiritual power.
"Om..."
The alchemical magic circle inside the gate was activated, causing the stone gate to tremble slightly and slowly push open, revealing a black spatial passage entrance.
"Walk."
Fang Heng stepped into the space as he spoke.
……
Upon entering the space, Fang Heng quickly looked around.
The Underworld Clan's secret chamber was a special space of about 100 square meters. However, instead of the expected treasure vault, there was only a large stone table with scattered documents piled on it. Several large bookshelves were arranged along the walls of the room, and three treasure chests were piled up in one corner.
At first glance, the room was fairly tidy.
It has been a long time since anyone came here; everything remains exactly as it was when I last left.
Fang Heng walked to the three boxes in the corner of the room.
There are three boxes in total.
As instructed by the Underworld Emperor, Fang Heng opened the black box in the middle, revealing a black horn lying flat inside.
The horn was carved from the skeleton of some kind of super-large creature. It was cold to the touch and its surface was not smooth, but covered with tiny holes.
It is it.
Fang Heng took the horn in his hand to check it once or twice, and then quickly put it into his backpack.
Fang Heng opened and looked at the remaining two boxes as well.
The box on the left contained a short dagger, while the box on the right contained a thick book.
Judging from the aura they exude, both the dagger and the ancient text are undoubtedly divine artifacts.
Fang Heng didn't take it.
On the one hand, they look down on it.
On the other hand, judging from the contact with the Underworld Emperor during this period, the Underworld Emperor is cautious in his actions, and he may have left some contingency plans behind.
Fang Heng glanced at Rodney beside him and asked, "Is there anything else you need to take with you?"
Rodney gently shook his head. "Please give me a few minutes. His Majesty the Underworld has instructed me to organize several important books and take them with me."
Fang Heng's heart stirred.
He did remember.
The Underworld Emperor mentioned that some research materials were left in the secret chamber, saying they might be useful to him.
Fang Heng hadn't paid much attention when he heard it, but now he was curious. He walked to the table and casually picked up a manuscript that hadn't been organized yet.
Huh?
Fang Heng raised an eyebrow.
He had actually learned a little bit of the Netherworld language; although he wasn't fluent, he knew some basic vocabulary.
Eye of the Underworld?
Fang Heng's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked, "The Eye of the Underworld? Rodney, what is that?"
"The Eye of the Netherworld is a special kind of pupil power. Before the incident, the Underworld Emperor had been researching the Eye of the Netherworld. He defeated the Netherworld Myriad-Eyed Beast and obtained a portion of its pupil power. Afterward, he fused with the power of the Netherworld Source to complete the Eye of the Netherworld. However, an accident occurred in the final stage of condensation. It was not fully condensed and suffered a considerable backlash."
Rodney sighed as he spoke, "The gods somehow learned of this news and launched an attack on the Underworld while the Underworld Emperor was refining the Eye of the Underworld."
"As a result, the Underworld Emperor's strength was greatly diminished, and he had to suppress the backlash of the Netherworld Eye to fight against the God Clan, ultimately suffering a regrettable defeat."
Fang Heng raised an eyebrow.
When he first met the Underworld Emperor, he thought the Underworld Emperor was a bit weak, being suppressed by the God Clan. Despite having the geographical advantage of the Underworld, he still couldn't defeat the God Clan and had to choose to surrender.
Now it seems there's more to the story.
Not long ago, the Underworld Emperor demonstrated his power to overwhelm two Holy Throne-level elders of the God Clan.
Fang Heng picked up a few more manuscripts from the table and glanced at them.
The Underworld Emperor was still exploring ways to condense the Eye of the Underworld, and the contents of the manuscript were all his own insights gained through exploration.
So, after all this time, has the Underworld Emperor actually completed the condensation of the Netherworld Eye? Or rather, has the Underworld Emperor found a true way to condense the Netherworld Eye?
For a moment, a feeling of greed welled up in Fang Heng's heart.
If I could get my hands on the Eye of the Netherworld, perhaps my strength could be improved even further?
However, the notes here are all inferences and insights about condensing the Netherworld Eye, and he is not familiar with the Netherworld language, so he can only get a general idea of what he's reading.
Rodney can help with the translation.
However, to obtain the perfect cultivation method for the Eye of the Underworld, one might need the Underworld Emperor's personal guidance.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Fang Heng's mind.
They fell for the trap.
Hades arranged for him to come to the secret chamber to find the Howling Horn, just so that he would see the Eye of the Underworld and become interested in it?
Then, he could use the Eye of the Underworld as bait to make himself work for him with peace of mind.
Fang Heng's lips twitched, thinking to himself, "Can't this old man just say it openly and honestly? Why does he have to resort to this trick?"
Rodney.
"exist."
Do you know how to forge the Eye of the Netherworld?
Rodney thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the specific method. I just happened to hear Lord Hades mention some of it. If you need it, I can translate the manuscript left by Lord Hades for you. Perhaps we can find some clues."
"That's troublesome."
"Of course."
Rodney quickly packed up the manuscript and the important documents in the secret room, and left the temple with Fang Heng. (End of Chapter)
