Chapter - 3426

The group of people surprisingly started to argue.

At that moment, the figure known as Lord Vesper let out a captivating laugh. It was pleasing to the ear yet carried a strong sense of dark energy.

"What's the rush? Kaelum Thornwood is already injured. In about a month, he'll degenerate into a depraved spirit. When that time comes, we can take advantage of his transformation to drain his power. Isn't that a good plan? As for the black temple, even if the Demon Lord himself were to come now, he might not be able to unlock it entirely and absorb all its power. We can only manage to unlock a small portion of it. Let's proceed with this plan."

Kaelum Thornwood was none other than Dominion Sect's top prodigy.

Unexpectedly, they were actually targeting Kaelum, even suggesting that he was on the brink of depravity.

Moreover, the other pieces of information Vesper mentioned were also astonishing.

Her enchanting voice continued to resonate, seemingly carrying the effect of the Illusion Bell, capable of bewitching the mind and soul.

"Right now, the ferocious beasts are what we should be most concerned about. Among them, there are dark beasts. They may or may not interfere. They are our true enemies."

Dark beasts were their true adversaries.

The ferocious beasts and humans had formed two factions. Even the demonic cultivators had spoken thus.

After she finished speaking, a sudden beam of black light emanated from her waist, flickering incessantly. It seemed to convey some sort of message to her.

Suddenly, Vesper let out a soft laugh. "Some people are surrounding the black temple, setting up numerous formations. There's activity in the palace. They probably don't know of our existence. Let's go and give them a bit of trouble."

"Yes, Lord Vesper!"

Subsequently, the group of people gradually became enshrouded in a dark mist, turning translucent. They vanished from the spot in an eerie manner of concealment, as if they had never been there in the first place.

At that moment, Zeke and his companions, oblivious to everything happening in the outside world, had completed their preparations.

"Mission accomplished! Various Nimbus Sect's annihilation formations have been successfully set up!"

The Dominion Sect disciples, too, became visibly excited, their eyes filled with a strong desire for battle.

"All right. Let's take a break, then break through these rocks and soil to explore the black temple."

At that moment, they had just finished setting up the formation. Everyone was utterly exhausted, yet there was still a pressing task at hand, so their rest time would likely not be sufficient.

Consequently, they hastily sat cross- legged, beginning to consume pills to restore their spiritual energy.

Zeke and his companions were not idle either. As they were recovering, Zeke was also indirectly trying to see if Quincey had tampered with the formation's authority or if the latter was up to any tricks.

Clearly, Quincey wasn't wary of them, having given them full access, particularly to the annihilation formations.

If Zeke wanted to activate it now, he could easily take control and initiate it.

Time ticked away.

An hour later, Morvran soared into the midair, summoning a colossal golden mirror. "Let's begin!"

On that Colossal Mirror, golden light was radiating in all directions.

Those immense rays of golden light, carrying an incredibly oppressive aura, bore down on the black temple hidden beneath the mountain rocks.

In an instant, the dust was cleared.

Beneath the dust, an ancient, shadowy palace that emanated an extremely dark aura materialized before everyone's eyes.

The light that surrounded the black temple dimmed in its presence.

Everyone had no choice but to arrange for more sources of light before they could significantly brighten up the place.

However, despite all that, the surroundings still seemed very dark.

Morvran's hand trembled. When he felt the ominous presence, his face instantly turned. pale, and a sense of fear stirred in his heart.

The darkness was simply too intense, too oppressive. Even he couldn't resist it. He felt a profound sense of danger as if a massive spike was looming over his back, ready to pierce him at any moment.

He quickly stowed away the Colossal Mirror. Subsequently, the radiance faded.

"Morvran?" Quincey looked on, taken aback. "Haven't we already decided to start? We should just proceed as planned, shouldn't we?"

He wondered why had Morvran suddenly stopped.
