The more Sun Fei improved his personal strength, the more he could truly feel the power of this Golden Skeleton.

When people are waiting, time always seems to pass too slowly. Out of sheer boredom, Sun Fei tried Summon the Dark Gold level gloves [ Laying of Hands ] and covering his hands. He barely managed to put his hands within five meters of the Golden Skeleton, and immediately a series of soft sounds rang out. The durability of these Dark Gold equipment, which was the highest level eight in the Diablo World, dropped rapidly. In just a short moment, they almost shattered and disappeared.

"This is terrifying! It's just a skeleton that's been dead for who knows how many years, yet it still possesses such a terrifying aura... The skeleton's strength in life was probably far beyond the realm of Moon Class experts, and even the legendary Great Sun-Rank Venerable couldn't compare?"

His King was utterly shocked.

As time progressed to the sixth level, Sun Fei's understanding of the Azeroth Continent deepened, and his own strength continued to grow. His understanding of the power levels and realms of this world became increasingly clear, no longer as ignorant as before. Therefore, he felt the terror of this Golden Skeleton more and more, and at the same time, he longed for the golden mountain-splitting axe that it held in its hand. It was a weapon that was forged from gold and inlaid with huge energy gems. Without a doubt, that axe was definitely a divine weapon.

Sun Fei had no doubt that if he had that golden giant axe in hand while defending the city today, he could have easily cleaved that powerful and terrifying red-robed man in the Ajax Barracks in two with a single blow.

Unfortunately, the aura emanating from the Golden Skeleton was far too powerful, almost impervious to all things. It was impossible to take the golden giant axe from its hand; they could only watch helplessly as the divine weapon remained out of reach.

"When I'm strong enough, I'll definitely wield this golden giant axe."

His King secretly hardened his heart, and at the same time became even more curious about the origin of the Golden Skeleton. Such an unparalleled figure had died in this small stone chamber for some unknown reason, and it seemed that he had been seriously injured and died. So what kind of being could kill him? Just thinking about it for a moment, everything seemed unbelievable.

"Oh my God, it's done! Haha, we've finally done it... Sun Fei, come and see!" Aunt Akara and Uncle Cain danced with joy, as if they had discovered a new continent, shouting uncontrollably, "We've found a way!"

"This is..." Sun Fei was overjoyed and ran over quickly.

The two mad scientists seemed to have activated a hidden magic circle within the [ Demon King's Wisdom ]. Suddenly, it flashed with dazzling blue-green fluorescence, then slowly projected a magical dynamic image into the void—the image depicted an extremely magnificent ancient altar-like structure, thousands of meters high, standing like a pillar supporting the sky on the vast land, imposing and awe-inspiring, a masterpiece of nature, clearly beyond human capability. Surrounding the altar stood eighteen hundred-meter-tall azure warrior statues, but the proportions of these statues seemed somewhat strange, giving Sun Fei a sense of déjà vu...

A flash of insight struck His King, and Sun Fei instantly understood why these eighteen statues gave him that strange feeling.

Sun Fei turned his head and looked at the incredibly powerful Golden Skeleton on one side of the stone chamber. He immediately understood that the species sculpted by the eighteen hundred-meter-tall statues in the picture were definitely what this Golden Skeleton looked like in life, with the exact same body and skeletal proportions... This body proportion was exactly the mythical image passed down by countless bards on the Azeroth Continent — the Dwarf Clan.

This Golden Skeleton has a dwarf in front of it!

Mighty dwarves!

Sun Fei tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart and carefully observed the projection of [ The Demon King's Wisdom ], because this projection revealed the way and place to Cleansing the [ Worldstone ].

"Lord Sun Fei, according to some hidden records in [ The Demon King's Wisdom ], if we can find this [ God and Demon Altar ], we can use its power to Cleansing the [ Worldstone ]," said Uncle Cain, clearly engrossed in his research, his white hair and beard a mess, yet still remarkably energetic. "This is truly amazing! That such an incredible altar exists in this world..."

Sun Fei frowned. "Excuse me, can one of you tell me where this altar is?"

"Uh... well... we... don't know yet." Akara and Uncle Cain hesitated, their old faces turning red, and gave an answer that almost made Sun Fei curse.

Sun Fei: "..."

For a moment, King Majesty the King had a real urge to punch those two old faces in front of him.

Perhaps sensing the Supreme Leader's feelings, Old Man Cain hurriedly tugged at his white beard and explained, "My lord, this is the best way we can find to Cleansing the corrupted Worldstone. You must know that although the Worldstone is small, it is indeed the linchpin of the entire Diablo World, supporting the operation of the entire world. It contains immense power, and to Cleansing it, we need immense power of light. Only the God and Demon Altar, recorded in the Demon King's Wisdom, possesses such power."

"Yes, the image shows that this [ God and Demon Altar ] is at least a thousand meters high. It is so magnificent and the target is very obvious. As long as you put in some effort to find it, it shouldn't be too difficult. Besides, such an altar should be very famous. Perhaps there are related clues and records circulating in the World of Light..." Akara had no choice but to explain slowly, even with his old face showing.

Sun Fei remained silent.

As far as he knew, there was never any mention of such a [ God and Demon Altar ] in the legends of the Azeroth Continent. King Majesty the King had been very interested in the various legends of the continent for a time, reading a lot of related books and listening to many bards' chants, but he had never heard the words [ God and Demon Altar ].

In other words, searching aimlessly is like looking for a needle in a haystack—extremely difficult. Let alone three months, if one is unlucky, they might search for a lifetime and still not find the altar.

Trying to calm himself down, Sun Fei stared intently at the picture in the void before him, observing this dynamic picture, which could be considered the only clue, with a ten thousand times more seriousness than when he played the " Everybody Find Fault Together " jigsaw puzzle game in his previous life, not letting go of any trace of it.

After searching back and forth again and again, observing every corner and every ray of light, finally, after a full three minutes, His Majesty the King actually discovered an extremely important clue.

"This is... Black Shadow Merfolk?"

Sun Fei's heart was pounding, and he was so excited that his whole body was trembling.

His King the King suddenly noticed that there were black lines moving back and forth rapidly around the altar, like Black Lightning flashing by. He hadn't noticed them at first glance, but upon closer inspection, he realized that these black lines were actually mermaid-shaped creatures swimming at incredible speeds, leaving trails of black in the sky above the scene.

Sun Fei immediately recalled the Black Shadow Merfolk patterns he had glimpsed in the boundless underground waters of Twin Flag City, and the overlapping underwater structures he had seen in that fleeting glance. If he connected the two...

"Could this vast and magnificent [ God and Demon Altar ] actually be located in that boundless, mysterious, and deep underground water?"

The more Sun Fei observed and thought, the closer his deduction became to the truth.

The underground waters beneath Twin Flag City are boundless, vast, and utterly mysterious. No one has ever mentioned that such a magnificent body of water could exist in this desert and surrounding area. There are also very few records about the [ Black Shadow Merfolk Picture ]. Sun Fei only found a blurry map in the city lord's mansion. This is clearly an undeveloped and mysterious ruin, covering a vast area. If there really is a magnificent [ God and Demon Altar ] as depicted in the picture, towering thousands of meters high, that exists in this world but remains unknown to the world, then the underground waters are obviously the most likely place to preserve it.

"Regardless, we must venture into those waters and investigate; this is the only clue we can find so far."

Having made up his mind, Sun Fei firmly imprinted the images projected by [ The Demon King's Wisdom ] into his mind. Then he cut off the Magic Power transmission, the blue-green fluorescence disappeared, and [ The Demon King's Wisdom ] returned to its original dark and ordinary appearance. It looked simple, rough, and even a bit dilapidated. It was so ordinary that no one would pick it up if it were thrown on the street.

You may continue to keep and study this copy.

Looking at the two elderly people staring at him with innocent eyes, like little dogs waiting for food, Sun Fei sighed. He didn't plan to carry [ The Demon King's Wisdom ] with him, because he knew that this book contained too many priceless things, and keeping it in his hands would be a waste. Only magic research fanatics like Akara and Grandpa Cain could truly discover the value of this book.

"Hehe, that's great, thank you, sir." After retrieving [ The Demon King's Wisdom ], Lord Cain was overjoyed and visibly relieved. Suddenly, he thought of something, chuckled, and took out four scrolls shimmering with a faint purple halo from his storage space, handing them to Sun Fei as if presenting a treasure.

Second update.
