Chapter 391: 320: The Mysterious Statue of a Woman!_1



The spacious main hall was surrounded by ruins and broken walls.

Even the top of the main hall had vanished from sight.

The wall murals were mottled and so worn that nothing could be clearly discerned.

On the ground, there were numerous scattered traces of weapon clashes.

Clearly, a fierce battle had taken place here.

Otherwise, more than half of the main hall would not have been destroyed.

After all, for ancient races, the main hall was the most important place for worshipping the deities they believed in.

It was the most important place within the entire race.

Any race would fight to the death to protect this place, to protect their faith.

If enemies breached into a race’s main hall, then that race was already at the brink of annihilation.

Regrettably, the Spirit Charm Emperor faced punishment from the Heavenly Dao and fell, and without a legendary level powerhouse to protect the Charm Clan, how could they resist the invasion of other races?

It was highly probable that they had been exterminated!

Cai Ji quizzically said, “Brother Cheng, how come there’s nothing here, just an empty main hall?”

Zhou Xinyu took a few steps back, looked up, and saw a gigantic statue standing at the back of the main hall.

About a hundred meters tall and entirely black, the statue’s appearance had deteriorated somewhat due to the passage of ten thousand years.

“The statue… that’s the statue of the Spirit Charm Emperor. Our mission must be to destroy that statue,” he concluded.

As they walked, they observed the surroundings and also tried to interpret the ancient murals inscribed on the walls.

Unfortunately,

the murals were severely damaged and their true appearances could not be discerned.

To think a race whose heritage lasted who knows how long couldn’t even leave behind their writing or murals; it was a profound sadness and source of fear.

The group continued forward.

The murals around them gradually became clearer.

There were human figures, as well as monster shadows.

But what caught Zheng Cheng’s attention the most was the depiction of an illusory black figure in these murals.

Arms outstretched, with clothes fluttering without wind.

For some reason, in Zheng Cheng’s eyes, the figure’s shape was somewhat enchanting, clearly that of a woman.

Yao Zhixue suddenly said, “Could it be that the Spirit Charm Emperor was actually a female emperor?”

“It’s possible! Charm Clan, Charm Clan, the name of this race sounds like a woman…”

“Who knows what happened back then for a woman to be hailed as ‘Emperor’!”

“What level of power is required to be acknowledged as an emperor? Legendary level? Or perhaps… mythic level!”

“If only I could be called an emperor, how great that would be…” they mused as they walked and carefully explored the murals and patterns inside the main hall.

The group finished walking through the corridor, and nothing happened.

As they stepped into the main section of the main hall, a new scene emerged.

A row of rugged statues appeared before their eyes.

But likewise, due to the passage of an indefinable number of years, these statues were also severely dilapidated and desolate.

Most statues remained only as half a torso, or even just a worn pedestal.

Even so, Zheng Cheng could still vaguely make out the true patterns these statues depicted.

“Who knows how many years this main hall has stood.”

“Regrettably, despite one’s unrivaled elegance or overwhelming power, nothing can halt the passage of time.”

“After thousands or tens of thousands of years, even the most formidable civilizations will fade into the annals of history.”

Zheng Cheng, having come to a realization, spoke pensively.

He continued to move forward.

“The Spirit Charm Clan, according to the Will of the World’s hint, should be a race both ethereal and physical, and nearly all of its members wield the power of the nether.”

“Somewhat like the solitary ghosts and wild spirits of legend, yet somewhat different.”

“After their death, depending on their individual talents, they spawn different kinds of specters.”

“Spirit Charm Ghost Crows, Spirit Charm Ghost Snakes, Spirit Charm Ghost Wolves, as well as the recently slain Spirit Charm Human Face Flower, Spirit Charm Dragon Eating Vine, and so on…”

“The stronger the clan member, the closer they are to their Main Hall.”

“Especially the Spirit Charm Dragon Eating Vine and Spirit Charm Human Face Flower, stationed midway up the mountain, blocking all outsiders attempting to ascend.”

“I don’t know how strong they were in life, but their roars actually condensed into beings of Epic Level. If it hadn’t been for the ‘Ethereal Fire Incinerates Body’ ability to restrain them, I couldn’t have defeated them…”

“And who knows whether they were exterminated by another race or experienced some other kind of natural disaster?”

Zheng Cheng continued forward, the murals and statues around him becoming increasingly scarce.

He suddenly felt a deep, icy breath.

A sense of being watched, coming from the depths of the Main Hall not far away.

Zhou Xinyu suddenly said, “Wait a minute, I feel like someone in the shadows is watching us.”

Cai Ji said, “Someone? How could that be, I don’t feel anything…”

“I possess one of the divine abilities of Buddhism, the ‘Heart’s Eye’, which can sense the malice of others.”

“There are others here!”

Zheng Cheng suddenly realized, and exclaimed, “Where are they!”

“Who?”

“Captain Xu Qingfeng! Sister Yunxiao! And the Bat-man who just left the mountainside first! Plus those level 79 strong ones among the Cave Beastmen…”

“Didn’t they all come to this Main Hall, how come no one can be seen?”

Everyone became more cautious and carefully surveyed their surroundings.

Soon, they discovered something.

“This is…”

In front of their eyes, at the end of the Main Hall, a huge statue appeared once again.

Unlike the other destroyed statues, this one was still intact.

No.

One should say it was a god statue!

A striking black glazed god statue.

It was the divinity worshipped by the Charm Clan, as well as the divinity protecting their clan!

A statue of an apparently young, exquisitely beautiful woman, whose pupils seemed to shimmer with divine light, as if they were staring at Zheng Cheng.

Unfortunately, it was merely an inanimate object.

But in Zheng Cheng’s eyes, the pupils of this god statue seemed to come to life, tenderly watching over him.

He frowned, took a few steps in other directions, and observed the statue once again.

Cai Ji said, “Damn it! Brother Cheng, why do I feel goosebumps all over, like this statue woman is always watching me?”

“I have that feeling too.”

“So do I.”

“Is it really so…”

Zheng Cheng calmly said, “There’s something wrong with the carving technique of this god statue, or rather, some special power has been attached to it.”

“So that anyone in any corner of the Main Hall, when looking at the god statue, will feel as if the pupil of the statue is watching them.”

“It must be a matter of perspective.”

“Or could it be that this female statue is an illusion of the Spirit Charm Emperor?”

Zheng Cheng’s eyes suddenly blurred, and a figure appeared in front of that god statue.

A gloomy black light suddenly swept over, enveloping everyone within it.
