Benjamin was convinced that the ring had a significant past. Otherwise, how could such a rare artifact be found here?Hearing Benjamin's inquiry, the spirit of the ring seemed a bit hazy. Ultimately, she could only shake her head in response.“Master." a voice began, delicate like a whisper of the wind: "I was awakened by the essence you summoned. My past? It's but a void. Perhaps my spirit is newly forged, or possibly, it had been sealed within this ring. Thus, I retain no memory, no glimpse of days gone by.”Upon hearing its confession, a shadow of disappointment flitted across Benjamin's face. Meanwhile, perched upon his shoulder, a young dragon, previously lost in slumber, snapped open its eyes with sudden intrigue. Its eyes, gleaming with curiosity, fixed upon the spirit child, emitting a low, soft cry.“Mewl...”The spirit, taken aback by the dragon's call, darted its gaze towards it.“Ah, is this a young dragon? I sense an aura about it, a divine essence. Perhaps it's a descend
Thus, upon receiving the affirmation of the holy spirit, Benjamin only then leisurely made his way to the spatial rift. Subsequently, he gently reached out towards the gap. Though this hole seemed small, and the spell was imperfect, as soon as Benjamin's hand came in contact with it, a sudden burst of light flashed. Following this, an intense suction force pulled at him, making Benjamin momentarily wince, slightly furrowing his brow. Even Young Dragon at this moment showed a hint of fear, clutching Benjamin's arm tightly.Boom!“Ah, Master?!”Upon seeing Benjamin fall to the ground from inside the wall, Big Dragon at that moment gave a little start, uttering a soft cry. However, almost as if having seen something terribly frightful, its voice suddenly trembled incessantly.“Dra... Dragon God, My Lord!”However, its cry only served to frighten Young Dragon a little more, causing it to hurriedly leap behind Benjamin in an attempt to hide. Witnessing such a scene, Benjamin could not help
Upon his descent to the earth, a jubilant gleam danced in Benjamin's eyes. He directed his heartfelt praises toward the ethereal spirit within his precious ring, heaping it with admiration. Yet, Big Dragon, now sprawled beside him, wore a look of deep resentment. Its gaze, tinged with a touch of malice, darted towards Benjamin a few times.Yet, the moment the dragon perceived Benjamin's turning gaze, it swiftly feigned death, as if nothing had transpired."Hmph, playing possum with me, are you? I merely took a drop of your blood. With your massive form, do you truly expect me to believe you can be so easily felled? Rise now! Scout the perimeter, ensure our safety here." Benjamin chided.As he spoke, he delivered a powerful kick to Big Dragon's side, prompting it to break its feigned state, springing to its feet in haste.Though it felt greatly wronged, Big Dragon didn’t dare defy Benjamin. Instead, it showed utmost submission, nodding its massive head in response."Yes, my Lord."With
A few days later, Benjamin's footsteps halted on an immense, wide-open plain. Before him lay an Ancient Fortress, surrounded by a cage of light. Upon seeing this Ancient Fortress, Benjamin couldn't help but show some astonishment.He didn't know from which era this Ancient Fortress came, but its architecture suggested it had existed for many years. Moreover, according to the memories imparted by the saintly soul, she had never seen an Ancient Fortress like this one. Although the Ancient Battlefield occasionally hosted some humans, they were merely intruders, and it was challenging for anyone to survive there. Of course, exceptions were those with strong powers, like the girl Benjamin had encountered days earlier."Elder, can you sense if the object you seek is still far?" Benjamin asked the saintly soul, studying the Ancient Fortress.The saintly soul hesitated briefly before responding: "It's not too far now. Cross this fortress and travel over a hundred miles forward; there we'll fi
Darkness suddenly shrouded his vision. A growing sense of vertigo consumed him, causing him to slip into unconsciousness. A cacophony of indistinct voices filled his ears, their desperate pleas echoing eerily: "Hold the line! Press forward, retreat not! The city stands with its people, it falls with them!"Time seemed to dilate, and amidst the tumult, Benjamin's consciousness slowly resurfaced. Opening his eyes, he was met with the visage of a wide-eyed youth, about sixteen or seventeen, clutching a long spear, the very object that had inadvertently collided with him."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" The young soldier's voice quivered with a mixture of fear and regret.As Benjamin's gaze flitted around, absorbing the scenes of chaos, he realized he was amidst a battleground, right before the city gates - the exact spot from where he was initially teleported."You there, what are you dawdling for? To the gates! We cannot let them breach!" An authoritative voice boomed.Before Benjamin co
Boom!Ripped apart by the dark beams, the realm shattered. A figure, slightly off-balance, emerged from the void. It was unmistakably Benjamin. Earlier, he'd stealthily used the power of the spirit ring to hide within a spatial pocket.Now, with the realm torn apart, Benjamin didn't pause for thought. He vanished again in an instant. Observing this, the Death Spirit Mage's expression soured. His eyes, now radiating a faint glimmer, scanned his surroundings meticulously.Whizz!Suddenly, a gleaming blade appeared. Benjamin, poised gracefully behind the Death Spirit Mage, executed a decisive strike, cleaving the mage in twain.However, a strange unease clouded Benjamin's features. The sensation of his last slash felt amiss. It felt as if the blade hadn’t quite met its mark. An imminent danger sent shivers down his spine, compelling him to ascend swiftly, evading a potential threat.Crash!The ground fractured, revealing a Knight of the Dry Skull who tore through space with his spear.Wi
"Oh, young one, you managed to obtain a divine essence. Though this object may be slightly flawed, it is indeed a fine thing! If you don't like it, you may give it to me!"At this moment, the voice of the saintly female ghost, filled with a measure of delight, called out in Benjamin's mind.Hearing this, Benjamin once again gripped the crystal tightly, beginning to examine it carefully. But after looking for a while, he couldn't detect any special function, feeling for a moment like he had fallen into a fog."Ha ha ha, divine essence is the crystallized quintessence of each God, used to gather the force of law within the body. Only after a God falls can their divine essence appear once again in this world. Of course, this divine essence is not complete and might bear scars from battle. But if you absorb it and nurture it with the force of faith, it can be healed in a hundred years, or perhaps a few hundred or even a thousand. Young one, this thing has no use to you; it will perfectly
"Young man, the object indeed lies within this tower. However, in my current state, I cannot access the Sky-Piercing Tower. Therefore, I need your assistance to ascend to its highest floor."After a long, contemplative pause, the maiden's ghost suddenly turned towards Benjamin, laying out her request.Taken aback, Benjamin's gaze wandered back to the ancient tower."Elder, are you suggesting this is the legendary Sky-Piercing Tower?""Hmm? So? You're aware of its history?"Hearing Benjamin's query, the maiden's spectral visage registered slight astonishment. She spun around, her gaze filled with a touch of skepticism."Well, I'm not entirely certain, but I've come across ancient scriptures indicating that this tower connects to the Heavenly Realm. Elder, could it be that the Roard Linked Heaven originates from within this very tower?""Ha ha ha! How should I know? In my past life, I never set foot in the Sky-Piercing Tower. Now, there's but one chance left. I hope it can be unlocked o
