Queen entered the Void God's Vault first and Ye Xiao was one step behind her. And very soon, their pupils shrunk and indescribable shock emerged in their hearts.
What they saw was an incomparably spacious space. It gave off a feeling as if they had arrived in another boundless world.
The inside of the Void God's Crystal seemed to be divided into three segments. The first segment had a magnificent ancient temple on the left side. This temple was like a peerless Ferocious Beast hidden in the darkness, causing people's hearts to tremble.
The segment was the surroundings where Ye Xiao and Queen were standing currently. The surrounding ground was filled with densely packed corpses. There were corpses that looked like the corpses of Human skeletons, Demonic Beasts' skeletons, and even huge dragon bones.
A cold and gloomy aura covered the entire burial ground, causing Ye Xiao and the others to feel a chill down their spine.
As for the third segment, it was a small corridor that seemed to be leading to a different place inside the Void God's Vault. Ye Xiao and Queen were unable to see through the first and the third segments.
"Such a grand Crystal Palace, but it is actually hiding corpses and a temple inside. What the hell is going on?" Queen spoke in a shocked tone.
Although Ye Xiao didn't say anything, he was also guessing the origin of these skeletons.
After pausing for a moment, Ye Xiao and Queen stepped forward slowly, carefully walking towards the magnificent ancient temple.
The True Essence in their bodies started circulating quietly, forming a thick essence armor that wrapped around their bodies. It was to resist the cold energy and also to prevent any unknown danger.
'Where are the treasures I am supposed to obtain?' Ye Xiao could not help but mutter in his heart.
And a reply soon came to him. The mysterious lady said: "This is Void God's Vault, the Void God's treasury. The skeletons you are seeing in front of you are just illusions and nothing more. The treasures are stored in the vault on the right side. As for the ancient temple, even I don't know what is there. But I could sense a danger inside. It'll be much better if you don't go inside the ancient temple."
It turned out that the skeletons were just illusions.
Ye Xiao was surprised and immediately used his Eyes of Insight, and confirmed what the mysterious lady told him is the truth.
"Let's go to the ancient temple first!" Queen said and moved forward.
"No..."
Ye Xiao could not stop her in time and she had already moved a few meters forward in a hurry. Ye Xiao had to follow her to stop in a hurry.
While he moved forward, he tried to stop Queen, but for some reason, she could not hear him at all.
Ye Xiao had no choice but to hurry over as well.
As Ye Xiao and Queen moved forward, they gradually approached the ancient temple. The closer they got, the more shocked they became. Queen also stopped moving forward and when Ye Xiao arrived beside her and asked why she was not responding, Queen told him that she did not hear him at all.
This surprised them once again and they also became alerted.
Then they looked at the ancient temple in front of them with some curiosity in their eyes. The majesty of this ancient temple was far beyond their imagination. The walls were filled with traces of the passage of time, and the ancient and boundless aura hit their faces.
In front of the ancient temple's gate, there were two strange stone statues.
These two stone statues' bodies were incomparably savage. However, their appearances gave off a peaceful feeling.
Ye Xiao Queen didn't know if it was an illusion or not, but when they arrived in front of these two stone statues, they suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. It was as if they were being stared at by something, and their heart couldn't help but tremble.
"This place is a bit strange."
Queen's solemn voice echoed in the surroundings and Ye Xiao nodded in agreement. The mysterious lady had also told him that she has sensed some kind of danger inside, and it will be better for them to not enter the ancient temple.
"Buzz!"
All of a sudden, a strange sound was heard, causing all the hairs Queen and Ye Xiao to become more alert. A sense of danger filled their bodies, causing their face to darken.
And suddenly, countless swords shot out from who knows where like a rainstorm of pear blossoms. Without a sound, they enveloped Ye Xiao and Queen.
Ye Xiao Queen hurriedly used their skills to either evade or face the swords.
These swords did not carry a very strong force. They were roughly equivalent to the full-force attack of a God.
However, there were too many of these swords. They were endless, covering the entire space.
Any God or Ancient God would be able to withstand it for a short period of time, but they wouldn't be able to withstand it for too long. They would be exhausted by the endless swords.
"This should be the defense mechanism of the ancient tomb." Queen glanced at the densely packed swords and said. Her eyes sparkled with the golden light.
Ye Xiao nodded and said with a bitter face: "These swords are coming from every direction except for this ancient temple. I think we have no choice but to enter the ancient temple."
"Then let's retreat into the ancient temple. Don't get entangled with these swords!" Queen pondered for a moment before speaking.
Ye Xiao nodded and rushed towards the ancient temple with Queen. In just a moment, they arrived at the entrance of the tall temple.
"Open!"
They hurriedly opened the door of the ancient temple and entered with extreme speed.
What Ye Xiao and Queen didn't notice was that the moment they entered the ancient temple, the swords outside came to a halt. After which, it turned into a white fog and dissipated instantly. It was as if it had never appeared before. At the same time, it was as if it had deliberately appeared to force Ye Xiao and the others to enter the ancient temple.
After entering the ancient temple, Ye Xiao and Queen were on guard. What entered their eyes was a dilapidated hall that looked like a dead ruin. Numerous stone statues had collapsed and scattered in the spacious hall.
In the center of the hall stood a huge statue that was a thousand feet tall. It looked like a Buddha statue but also like a ferocious beast statue. It was an extremely strange sight. When they walked into the huge statue, Ye Xiao and the others could feel an auspicious aura rushing toward them. The long marks of vicissitudes covered the entire statue.
There was something else that attracted their attention. They noticed a spiral staircase that was about one meter wide. It extended upwards, and they couldn't see the end of it.
The two of them walked up the staircase step by step and felt something different. This feeling was as if they were walking in a paradise. The surroundings were dead silent, and they could only hear their own footsteps and breathing.
After walking up for an unknown amount of time, suddenly, a ray of light flashed past, waking Ye Xiao and the others from their numbness. Their movements became faster, and they drew the stairs one by one.
They stepped onto a huge platform floating in the air. According to Ye Xiao's estimation, the location of this platform should be on the head of the huge stone statue.
On the platform, there were huge stone pillars. On the stone pillars, there were dense and strange patterns carved on them. There were also light clusters that appeared on the stone pillars.
Hundreds of stone pillars had turned this place into a stone pillar forest.
Ye Xiao and Queen focused their eyes.
After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, Ye Xiao and Queen arrived at the open space in the middle of the stone pillar forest. With just a glance, Ye Xiao and Queen's bodies stiffened. Their eyes widened.
What appeared in front of Ye Xiao and the others was a magnificent golden altar.
This golden altar was a little strange. The surface of the golden altar was engraved with runes that looked like formation patterns. It was densely packed and covered the entire golden altar.
What really shocked Ye Xiao and the others was that on this golden altar, a figure wearing an ancient robe was sitting there with his eyes closed. There were black lines on his face and two horns that looked like dragon horns on his forehead. His entire body emanated an ancient aura.
"Could this be the master of this ancient temple?" Queen looked at the person on the altar and muttered in a low voice, voicing her doubt.
