Realm of Destruction, Lake of Eyelessness
Su He was almost certain that this swamp held a hidden secret.
This place is quite different from other parts of the Secret Realm. Even in the scorching volcanic area, heat-resistant moss grows, and Lava Wyvern slumber inside the crater.
But the area around this swamp is different. You can't find the scent of any plant around the swamp, and you can't even smell the stench of the swamp.
This illustrates something quite terrifying.
There are no living creatures in this swamp.
"System, scan the structure of this swamp for me." Su He was a little unsure, so she had to ask the system, which she hadn't used in a long time, for help.
"Scan complete, portal detected." The system's emotionless voice rang out, startling Su He.
"As expected! This swamp is not simple." Su He stroked his chin, pondering.
This Mingming is not unfounded; it simply means that this is truly his destiny.
Su He was not a timid person, but he was not as reckless as Yan either. He liked to consider the worst possible outcome before doing something.
Since it's just a portal, there's nothing to worry about. But just to be on the safe side Su He still activated it Indestructible Golden Body, just in case.
Instead of leaping into the swamp with bravado, he slowly stepped into the swamp.
Even the God King of Destruction from the Divine Realm couldn't help but chuckle; this kid was certainly cautious enough.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. It's good to be cautious when facing the obstacles he's set up. If you walk in carelessly without any precautions, you could really die.
Feeling the swamp slowly and completely submerge her, Su He sensed that her feet had entered another dimension, and then her whole body sank in.
Outside the Dense Fog Forest, the trial participants finally managed to shake off the pursuit of the Lava Wyvern, and a few of the bolder ones decided to venture into the volcanic area to explore further.
Just as he peeked out, he discovered that the volcano had erupted again, and the scorching lava directly engulfed a slow-moving Soul Master, who was soon lifeless.
This scene terrified most people, who dared not peek out again, prompting a disdainful smile from the God of Fire, who was watching from the Divine Realm.
Su He, however, was facing a completely different situation.
The space behind the portal is a small world independent of the Secret Realm; it can be described as Secret Realm within the Secret Realm.
All around was desolate, barren and cracked, with only a lake shimmering with purple light in front of them, and a cave on the opposite side of the lake.
"Welcome to the Realm of Destruction, Challenger." A clear female voice rang out, somewhat similar to the voice Su He had heard in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Life-and-Death Arena.
"Who are you!" Su He asked in a low voice, her brows furrowed.
"I am the spirit of the Realm of Realm of Destruction, and I hereby issue the challenge: Cross the Lake of Eyelessness. Time limit: 180 days. Penalty for failure: Annihilation."
What the heck?
Before Su He could react, the ethereal voice had already vanished.
I vaguely remember the voice mentioning crossing some kind of Lake of Eyelessness, which must be the lake right in front of me.
Su He didn't take it too seriously, but she still chose to step into the lake first, causing ripples to spread across the tranquil surface.
But then Su He realized something was wrong, because he couldn't feel his right foot anymore.
When I lifted my right leg, I saw that my body had been completely eroded away by the lake water.
This scene terrified Su He, but as he quickly retreated to the shore, his right foot rapidly recovered and eventually returned to its original state.
"A hint to the challenger: You possess infinite life during the duration of the Realm of Destruction, so feel free to try." The ethereal voice rang out again, perhaps because the God King of Destruction didn't want Su He to be frightened, and chose to give her a hint.
"Since that's the case, I have no choice but to break this deadlock!" Su He gritted her teeth and decided to make a second attempt.
There is a powerful, unknown force in this lake that continuously erodes the body of those who enter it, like a maggot clinging to a bone, difficult to remove.
Su He had never encountered such a troublesome and bizarre power in her entire life.
Once the God King of Destruction knew what Su He was thinking, he would definitely have the urge to beat him up. This Lake of Eyelessness contained a rich source of Destruction Divine Power, a power unique to him, the God King of Destruction, one of the Five Great God Kings of the Divine Realm.
Even the Destruction power of the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon Martial Soul, which is far away on the Sun Moon Continent, is probably nothing compared to his divine power.
"Indestructible Golden Body." Su He added a layer of golden light shield around himself, creating Indestructible Golden Body, and then leaped into the Lake of Eyelessness again. This time, he moved forward at full speed in the lake, but after about half a minute, Su He could no longer feel his body.
Even those at the Lesser Completion stage Indestructible Golden Body can only temporarily resist this strange corrosive power.
Su He immediately understood the reason why the swamp and this Realm of Destruction were barren. How could any creature survive here in the face of such a powerful and strange force!
The two failed attempts did not deter Su He's curiosity; after all, he had countless lives in this world.
Drinking lake water, bathing in lake water, and other bizarre actions kept popping up, making the God King of Destruction in the Divine Realm so Su He that his face turned black.
Fortunately, Su He knew she had to focus on her work. In Su He's view, there were only two ways to cross the lake.
Firstly, he could cultivate his Indestructible Golden Body to its fullest potential and then try to break through the lake.
Secondly, try to feel the powerful energy contained within this Lake of Eyelessness. If you can comprehend this power, crossing the lake will be quite easy.
Su He chose the second option, for no other reason than this.
He had some experience in comprehending unknown powers; the evil and Darkness Power within the Evil God Origin Orb was the best example.
Seeing Su He close her eyes and begin to comprehend, the God King of Destruction expression improved considerably; just now, he had truly had the urge to kill her.
Inside the Sky-Propping Volcano, Yan sat atop a giant rock in the very center.
His eyes were tightly closed, and a red flame barrier surrounded him, so that no matter how the lava churned, it could not affect him in the slightest.
With the blessing of the Heart of Burning, Yan's perception of fire attributes has reached a terrifying level, which is why he dared to come to this dangerous volcano to cultivate.
His cultivation speed here was about three times that of his normal cultivation, and the fire attribute around him was extremely strong.
The burning heart continuously provided him with strength and protection, and the appearance of the Flame Lord seemed to be changing subtly, though Yan was completely unaware of it.
If we exclude Su He, the biggest beneficiary of this Secret Realm is Yan, who not only obtained the treasures left behind by the God of Fire, but also acquired the key to the Divine Throne Inheritance.
Su He believed that Yan would not disappoint like Ma Hongjun, and that the Spirit Hall would have another deity protecting it in the future.
