Chapter 520: Secrets and Prophecies

Deep inside Hellfire Castle.

Liu Ping stood in front of a row of huge bookshelves and looked up at his surroundings.

Every row of bookshelves was filled with books.

Liu Ping took out a book with a metal cover, only to see that the cover was wrapped in a metal lock with 12 secret keys that sealed the book, preventing it from being opened.

"This is"

"Sir, these are all knowledge of Purgatory and Eternal Night, as well as all sorts of secrets. If you use the Hellfire Bank scepter, you will be able to unlock all the secrets here"

"So that’s how it is"

Liu Ping pointed the scepter at the book.

"Be careful, sir!" the director on the side screamed as he jumped into the void of space and hurriedly ran away.

All 12 locks on the book were unlocked.

A voice came from the book:

"This is the ultimate secret of the Flame Imps, they were originally born from the Pillar of Infinity and lived there for generations. The spirit that protected the pillar was extremely powerful, it had always protected the Flame Imps, until ..."

Following this voice, a burning aura slowly appeared in the void of space, as if something was being awakened.

"Ah, so that’s how it is" Liu Ping said.

The Warden Blade at his waist gave off a light ’wu wu’ sound.

Lines of burning words appeared in his mind:

[The Warden Blade’s ability, ’Silence’, has been activated]

[The wielder of this Blade can hear all secrets, fear nothing]

After the Blade chime.

The burning aura and strange noise that spread throughout the void of space slowly disappeared.

No wonder the director who followed me ran away faster than a rabbit.

There was a risk in hearing any secret.

If you’re not careful, you might end up provoking an entity stronger than yourself and fall into danger.

When everything calmed down, Liu Ping suddenly sensed something.

My Tribulation is over.

He looked at the void of space, only to see burning text floating in the air:

[You’ve successfully passed Tribulation realm]

[Due to the great virtue you’ve received in the past, your Tribulation realm didn’t trigger any overly terrifying Tribulations]

[Congratulations]

[You’ve successfully advanced to Virtualized realm]

Liu Ping quietly felt the surging tide of spiritual power in his body. After thinking for a while, he raised his hand and conjured a spell.

A strange wave of energy emanated from his body, gradually calming down the chaotic spiritual energy around him.

One breath.

Two breaths.

The spiritual energy calmed down and returned to his dantian. It then flowed through his limbs and bones, moving according to his thoughts. It was incomparably tame.

"My spirit energy and soul have both grown quite a bit ... This allows me to unleash even more techniques from my memories."

Liu Ping muttered to himself. Suddenly, he could not help but sigh.

The combat techniques and power that he had grasped over many lifetimes were enough to deal with any living being, but they were unable to defeat a nightmare monster.

He lightly tapped the scepter on the ground.

The void opened.

The director wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief and walked back to Liu Ping.

"Your Excellency, are you alright now?" He forced a smile.

"I’m fine."

Liu Ping closed the book and asked, "How many years have you been managing this secret treasury as a director?"

"More than three thousand years," the director said.

"Then let me ask you, with the great change at hand, what secrets do you think are related to the current situation?" Liu Ping asked.

"If you want to talk about the survival and destruction of all of us, there is only one secret," the director said.

"What?"

"Sir, please follow me."

The director brought Liu Ping through countless bookshelves, all the way to the deepest part of the treasury.

There was an altar here, a single crystal ball was placed on top of the altar.

Liu Ping noticed that there was an eye-catching red line near the altar, a line of words was written next to it:

[Attention, do not cross this line, or you will be responsible for your own life and death]

The director cautiously stood in front of Liu Ping and said: "Stop!"

"What is this?" Liu Ping asked curiously.

"A very long time ago, there was once a Grandmaster of Divination, he was able to divine all the secrets of the world. Until one day, he sensed a calamity that involved the entire Purgatory and the Divine Pillar of Eternal Night, so he made a divination and sealed it in the crystal ball, storing it here" the director said.

"If that’s the case, there should be a lot of people who want to hear this secret" Liu Ping said.

"At first, there were indeed a lot of Combatants who wanted to try, but the secret sealed in the crystal ball was clearly not to be underestimated. Most people would be killed by the ’Emergence’ of countless Laws just by getting close to it" the director said.

"What happened to that Grandmaster of Divination?" Liu Ping asked.

"He died on the spot after making this prophecy" the director said.

"... Looks like this secret is really not to be underestimated" Liu Ping crossed his arms and said.

"Yes, sir, we can go back now. I will bring you to see the other treasures" the director turned around and gestured with his hand, preparing to walk in another direction.

"Wait a minute" Liu Ping said.

"Hmm? Why? "

"I want to take a look at that crystal ball."

"... Your Excellency, you really will die. Throughout history, countless people have already died because of this divination."

"If there is a problem, I will not force myself."

After Liu Ping finished speaking, he crossed the red line on the ground and walked towards the altar step by step.

The director raised his hand as if to stop him, but he felt that he had no way to stop him, so he could only stand there and wait.

There was a flash in the void.

The other two directors appeared together.

"What’s going on? It wasn’t easy for us to follow him and gather all the forces. Why is he courting death?" Another director said irritably.

"Let’s wait and see. If he really dies, it is the will of the heavens. No one can do anything about it" the third director said in a low voice.

Liu Ping walked slowly. Suddenly, he felt that his surroundings were filled with fog. Misty voices sounded in his ears.

He looked back.

He could no longer see the director.

It seemed that ever since he crossed the red line, he had entered an extremely special place.

"This secret can actually manifest a scene similar to a world ... It is really extraordinary."

Liu Ping murmured and continued to walk forward.

He stepped onto the steps leading to the altar.

The illusory ravings in his ears suddenly became clear and strong.

"He is here."

"It is him. He is here."

"According to the prophecy, he will arrive at this time on time ..."

"The time is almost up."

"The day of ... destruction ... he will personally take action ..."

Liu Ping listened quietly and glanced around. He saw that there was nothing around him. There was nothing.

He did not know how these voices were produced.

He walked up the steps and came in front of the crystal ball.

He saw that the crystal ball was floating in a dreamy fog. He could not see any clues.

Liu Ping reached out and held the crystal ball.

Suddenly.

All the ravings disappeared.

A scene enveloped Liu Ping, showing him a scene he had never seen before.

In the endless darkness of the void.

The Divine Pillars of Eternal Night and Purgatory were slowly collapsing.

Countless nightmare creatures were rampaging on the Divine Pillars of Eternal Night and Purgatory.

The Divine Pillars were slowly collapsing.

All the souls were imprisoned and used as food reserves to be divided among the existences from the nightmares.

Just as everything was heading towards destruction.

An existence wearing a large armor appeared in the distant darkness.

It landed on the Divine Pillars and pressed down on one of the collapsing Divine Pillars. It roared at all the nightmare creatures.

Liu Ping tried to hear its voice, but found that he could not hear anything.

At the next moment.

The scene gradually became blurry. Like a storm, it revolved around Liu Ping.

He was isolated on the altar by the storm and lost all contact with the outside world.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in his ears:

"Find me"

"Hurry, you must hurry and find me!"

"In the deepest part of Eternal Night, or at the peak of Purgatory"

"You must find me as soon as possible, or else it will be too late!"

Liu Ping was shocked.

These words had appeared in his memories when he first crossed over to Evernight Continent.

But it was too blurry back then.

This time, he finally heard it clearly. It was Andrea’s voice!

So he had traveled through two different timelines. She had been reminding him of this.

Boom!

The blurry storm gradually dissipated, turning into a gentle breeze, and finally calmed down.

Cracks appeared on the crystal ball in Liu Ping’s hand. Finally, it completely shattered into powder and fell from his hand.

The three directors standing far away were stunned.

One of them said: "He ..."

The second said: "He got it"

The third director said: "That’s right, he got the prophecy and didn’t die"

Liu Ping stood on the altar, stunned for a few moments, then suddenly asked: "Which world is at the peak of the Divine Pillars of Purgatory?"

"Your Excellency, it is an uninhabited world. Other than the storm, there is only a barren land of stone" one of the directors said.

"Prepare the manpower immediately" Liu Ping said.

"What do you want to do? Please tell us what you want to do so that we can arrange the corresponding manpower. "another director said.

"Search through that world, don’t let go of any suspicious places. Let’s go, we will leave immediately!"

Liu Ping said.
