Behind him was still that azure sky. His breath froze into ice, and the cold cut to the bone, yet the face turned toward the cave entrance...
Was brushed by a gentle warm breeze.
"Heh heh."
Sigrid Palma narrowed his eyes and revealed a gentle smile.
That was his signature smile, but upon closer inspection, one could find... confidence, intoxication, and satisfaction deep within his pupils.
According to the intelligence he possessed, no one in this universe could possibly have prepared more thoroughly than he had.
These ruins had been opened for him by fate.
The most precious treasure within these ruins belonged to him.
It represented the power of the Luo Qin Universe at its absolute peak.
In that catastrophe of life, countless inheritances of powerful civilizations had been buried.
And what he had to do was bring those things back into the light.
"A whole century of preparation... and today has finally come. I gave up so many mundane things along the way. I know..."
"You must be in there."
For the first time, Sigrid Palma's proud eyes were filled with a light resembling worship.
There was more than one cave entrance on this mountain—exaggerated as it might sound, there were not merely dozens.
Yet Siglie stared fixedly at this particular Mountain Cave.
He spread open his palm, revealing a... dragon scale!
It looked remarkably similar to the one in Mu Fan's hand, yet upon closer examination, it was not the same.
The Reverse Scale torn off by Evil Wing bore mica-like patterns, while this dragon scale was smooth and pristine, as though it had been artificially forged.
If one examined it further under a microscope, one would surely discover countless ancient patterns carved into the dragon scale in Siglie's hand, resembling the totems of some ancient race.
