Chapter 326: Divine Essence Lake

Apollo stood tall amidst the ruined battlefield, silver light still dancing around him, eyes glowing with calm dominance.

He had done it. He had broken through.

"Hahaha... In the end... I still didn’t survive."

Sanctum warrior’s voice was hoarse, mad — laced with bitter mockery and a tinge of sorrow.

"But don’t be so quick to celebrate, boy... You’ll follow soon enough."

His eyes, dimming like dying stars, stared straight at Apollo, gleaming with twisted conviction.

"Everything ends. All power, all glory, all light — it all turns to dust. No one can stop it. Not even you...".

Cracks spread across his soul like shattered crystal. His aura collapsed inward. The Rule of Ice — once mighty — fractured and dissolved, leaving behind only echoes of frost on the battlefield.

"No one escapes... the end."

And with those final, chilling words, his body gave way to oblivion, vanishing into nothingness, leaving the battlefield silent save for the shimmering moonlight left in Apollo’s wake.

Clark and Sara, after the battle ended, remained trembling. They cannot believe what they saw and how the fuck this was done by the Void god.

"H-How...?" Clark muttered under his breath, his voice barely audible.

It wasn’t just the sheer power — it was the essence, the law, the way space itself had knelt under Apollo’s might. Their understanding of strength had been shattered.

For the first time, they truly grasped the difference.

It wasn’t a gap.

It was an abyss — so vast and suffocating that even if every one of the thousand prodigies from the Void God list banded together, they wouldn’t even hold a candle to the man who stood before them.

"Let’s move." Apollo calmly landed beside the two, not caring about the last words of the sanctum warrior. He already died once and knew the despair, but he was confident this time it would be different.

He didn’t even glance back. The sanctum warrior’s last words, no matter how ominous, were irrelevant.

Without hesitation, the three of them began moving forward, their steps steady, their shadows long beneath the broken sky — toward whatever awaited them in the depths of the sanctum.

Yet even as they moved forward, a heavy silence lingered. They were careful — extremely careful. Even Apollo, whose might had just shaken heaven and earth, did not let down his guard.

Because he understood. This place... was not ordinary.

The Primordial Sanctum was a burial ground of gods, a place where beings of unspeakable power had once walked freely — before time, before history. Though they were sealed, suppressed, or half-forgotten, the echoes of their might still lingered like ancient curses.

Even though it is not necessary for every enemy he faces to have such strength, they will still be very difficult, as millions of years back, before they were suppressed here, they were extremely strong.

And now even those ancient beings have a little bit of strength left; they still aren’t something they can take on easily. They finally understand why very few can walk out of this primordial sanctum.

The group travelled for some time and finally found an ancient building that seems to not be affected by time and radiates a mysterious aura.

Unlike the crumbling ruins they’d seen along the way, this structure remained pristine, as though it had been carved yesterday by celestial hands. It radiated a mysterious aura, one that hummed faintly with power far older than any of them.

The ancient building was massive, so they quickly came towards it, but they maintained vigilance.

The architecture was unlike anything from the known world — massive pillars etched with forgotten runes and walls that shimmered subtly under the dim cosmic light.

Apollo quickly scanned the area around the ancient building with his spiritual sense, but he didn’t find anything at first.

"Hmph."

"Interesting." He murmured. His spiritual power, which could span mountains and seas, couldn’t penetrate the building’s walls. It was as though his senses were swallowed by a void — cold, silent, and bottomless.

Clark and Sara exchanged uneasy glances. They could feel it too now — a weight that made their skin crawl, like standing on the edge of something ancient and sacred.

Apollo stepped forward slowly, eyes gleaming with sharp interest.

"Be careful. This building isn’t normal."

Both of them nodded and silently followed him. The colossal gate was wide open, but there wasn’t any sign of life.

They were here to improve their strength and find treasures, so although this place was a hundred per percent sketchy they still went in.

The moment their feet crossed the threshold—

Whummmm—

A strange pull gripped them. Not physical — but spatial. The fabric of reality twisted, and in an instant, their surroundings blurred and folded.

They didn’t walk into a hall. They were transported.

Before any of them could react, the world reassembled itself — and they now stood in the internal space of the ancient building.

It was vast. Far too vast to fit inside the outer shell they’d seen.

In front of them was a lake with crystal clear water, filled with divine power. Just breathing at the edge let them feel increases in cultivation level.

"Could it be Divine Essence Lake?" Clark quickly muttered in shock.

"What lake?" Apollo asked, as he was still young and didn’t know much about various things in the universe.

This time, Sara jumped in before Clark could respond — her tone reverent, like she was reciting the description of a mythical treasure.

"Sir... The Divine Lake isn’t something ordinary. It’s a lake formed by extracting the purest divine power from countless Divine Stones, then refined with rare natural treasures, star essences, and celestial herbs. It’s said that even a small sip could even let a true god break through a bottleneck."

She continued, eyes wide with awe.

"These lakes are usually only found in sacred grounds of ancient sects or left behind by extinct divine clans. Just being near one... can raise the cultivation of Void Gods and True Gods alike."

Apollo stepped closer, peering into the depths of the lake. The water wasn’t just clear — it held reflections of stars, drifting slowly beneath the surface as if the cosmos itself had been drawn into it.

"This is a good thing, then let’s not wait anymore." After saying this, he jumped into the lake, as not long before, he had made a breakthrough to the Void God realm.

And although his understanding surpassed eternal gods, he wouldn’t face any major bottlenecks. All he needed was time to gather divine energy. But now with this divine lake, he didn’t need to wait.

Clark And Sara also nodded and quickly followed him and jumped into the lake to absorb divine energy and achieve a breakthrough in their cultivation realm, as the previous battle let them understand how weak they are.
