Red Crystal

The walls are carved with exquisite patterns, so lifelike. There are mythical beasts of various shapes, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, as if they might leap out of the walls at any moment; and there are beautiful goddesses, dancing gracefully and charmingly.

Yun Xi frowned slightly, her tightly knit brows seemingly shrouded in mist, her heart filled with doubt. She stood in this seemingly tranquil and peaceful treasure vault, the bright light and exquisite decorations around her creating a stark contrast with the scene she had envisioned in her mind.

Logically, when the Strange Item makes a move, the surrounding area should be filled with a thick, eerie aura, like a black cloud shrouding the entire space.

I could still feel it when I touched the door...

Yet this treasure vault looked so normal. Bright light emanated from the spirit crystals embedded in the walls, illuminating every corner. The ochre marble floor was spotless, reflecting soft light, as if the previous disturbances were just an illusion.

But Yun Xi knew that things would not be so simple. At this moment, she was in this seemingly magnificent treasure vault, and the bright light and exquisite decorations around her were like a false cloak, concealing unknown dangers.

She vigilantly surveyed her surroundings, her eyes sharp as stars in the cold night, not missing a single subtle change. She leaned slightly forward, her feet firmly planted, ready to respond to any unexpected situation.

Her gaze wandered among the treasures in the vault, the gems that shimmered with iridescent light, like rainbows frozen in time in the night sky, each one radiating a dazzling brilliance.

According to Daka, she didn't know exactly what the Strange Item object was. After all, the Goddess of Freedom was contaminated in a single glance, and Daka didn't know what the Strange Item object looked like.

Even if there are unusual movements, it's only the fluctuation of strange energy that's detected, nothing more.

The Strange Item was then sealed within the treasure vault by the Goddess of Freedom. The Goddess of Freedom used her last strength to trap the evil power within this seemingly ordinary vault. And Daka, entrusted by the Statue of Goddess of Freedom, was ordered to guard this place.

After looking around, Yun Xi's gaze slowly fell on a Red Crystal.

In this treasure trove filled with precious gems, many rare treasures radiated their own unique light, but this Red Crystal was like a blazing flame in the dark night, instantly attracting Yun Xi's full attention.

That's right, it's a genuine Red Crystal, with an appearance extremely similar to the Red Crystal in my soul space. Its shape is like a meticulously carved rhombus, each facet as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a dazzling light.

In contrast, this Red Crystal's color was far more eerie and vibrant. It was so red that it seemed to have been repeatedly soaked in blood, and its vivid color exuded a chilling aura.

At this moment, the aura emanating from the Red Crystal in front of her stirred a strong sense of unease within her.

The color was strikingly similar to the Terror God King Fiend's control over the Godfall Continent Origin Core, his control over power.

Yun Xi slowly approached the Red Crystal, each step taken with extreme caution. She could feel a chill creeping up her body from her feet as she drew nearer. Her hands clenched unconsciously, and her spiritual energy began to circulate slowly within her, ready to respond to any potential danger.

When she finally stood in front of the Red Crystal, an invisible sense of oppression rushed towards her. She could clearly see strange patterns shimmering on the surface of the Red Crystal. Those patterns were like writhing snakes, as if they possessed their own life.

Each pattern emanates an eerie glow, the color of which is a sinister red that inspires fear. This glow intertwines with the vibrant color of the Red Crystal itself, creating an extremely bizarre scene.

Yun Xi frowned slightly, carefully observing the patterns. Just as she was concentrating on her observation, she suddenly felt a faint suction force coming from the Red Crystal. Although this suction force seemed weak, it was exceptionally strong, as if an invisible giant hand was gently grasping her soul.

Yun Xi's body trembled slightly, a strong sense of vigilance rising within her. She wanted to retreat immediately, to get away from this strange suction force, but found that her body seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move. The suction force grew stronger and stronger, like a giant vortex, about to swallow her up.

At the same time, the thick, eerie energy within the Red Crystal burst forth, creating a scene reminiscent of an ancient, dormant beast suddenly awakening with overwhelming force.

This eerie energy surged like a raging tide, its waves rising high, carrying a chilling power as it hurtled straight towards Yun Xi. Each wisp of this eerie energy was like a cold, venomous snake, hissing and emitting a nauseating, putrid stench.

Yun Xi stood on the ground, her brows furrowed tightly. She could clearly sense the controlling power contained within this eerie aura. That power was like a pair of invisible, gigantic hands, trying to penetrate her body and seize her soul.

Once corrupted by this power, she would be like a soulless puppet, a mindless walking corpse, at the mercy of this evil force. Her back was already soaked with cold sweat, and her heart was pounding involuntarily, but her eyes remained firm, showing no sign of retreat.

Yun Xi reacted quickly and swiftly applied the Brightness Purification Technique she had prepared beforehand directly to the strange Red Crystal in front of her.

The ball of light instantly came into contact with the Red Crystal, and the blinding white light collided with the dazzling red light, as if day and night were fiercely clashing.

The two lights intertwined, unleashing a powerful shockwave that distorted the surrounding air. Wherever the light reached, the treasures in the vault trembled, emitting crisp, ringing sounds.

The blinding light made it almost impossible for Yun Xi to open her eyes. The light was like thousands of silver needles, piercing straight into her eyes, each one bringing a strong stinging sensation.

She could feel the Light Purification Technique she had infused fiercely against the eerie energy within the Red Crystal. It was a contest of power and will.

The Light Rule Technique are like a raging fire, constantly devouring the evil and filth within the eerie energy; the eerie energy, on the other hand, is like a boundless black swamp, viscous and stubborn, attempting to gradually submerge the power of light.

Each clash of forces was like a fierce battle, putting immense pressure on Yun Xi's body.
