Chapter 1017 Ch 1017: Trapped On The Altar

On top of the golden altar, Ye Xiao and the others felt their bodies sink as soon as they stepped onto the altar. It was as if there was an invisible force suppressing them, and the force in their bodies was instantly suppressed. Even Ye Xiao was no exception.

"We can only use our physical strength!"

Queen said with a serious expression as she tried to mobilize the strength within her body.

Ye Xiao didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at the entire golden altar.

At the top of the golden altar, in the middle, there was a small circular platform. The platform was extremely smooth, like the surface of a plane mirror.

If someone goes there and slightly lowers their head, they could see their own shadows, as if their souls were being projected.

"Hmm?"

But at this time, Ye Xiao's pupils shrunk and he spoke in surprise. His eyes were fixed in front of him. Queen's expression also changed slightly. Following Ye Xiao's gaze, she looked and was instantly stunned.

In the center of the platform, there was a golden rectangular wooden box was lying quietly. On the surface of the rectangular wooden box, there were densely carved patterns, similar to the patterns on the corpse's body.

In the middle of the rectangular shape, there were four big blood-red words; 'Ancient Blade of Hell!

Nove l B(in).C OM

At a glance, the words seemed to be alive, and it gave people a feeling of flowing, and it was extremely strange and horrifying.

The rectangular wooden box was glowing with a pale golden light. As Ye Xiao and Queen walked in, they were also enveloped by this golden light.

For some reason, under this light, Ye Xiao and Queen felt very troubled in their hearts. The fear in their hearts seemed to be multiplied by a mysterious energy, they felt as if they were approaching a danger greater than the corpse Ye Xiao fought before.

Ye Xiao Queen stopped in their tracks and looked at each other, not knowing if they should continue stepping forward or not.

The feeling of great danger coming from the wooden box has actually surpassed that of the corpse, Ye Xiao could think very well that if he was attacked by whatever is inside the box where the words 'Ancient Blade of Hell' is written, he would not be able to deal with it.

But what should he do now

Should he retreat just like that or should he continue moving forward

Not being able to decide what to do, Ye Xiao thought to ask the mysterious lady and see if she could tell him what to do, or at least tell him what is inside the rectangular wooden box.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried to call, he was unable to contact the mysterious lady. It was as if she has completely disappeared.

Only now did Ye Xiao notice another anomaly.

From the moment he entered the Ancient Temple, the mysterious lady stopped talking.

Ye Xiao immediately understood the truth.

It was not that the mysterious lady does not want to talk or answer his questions, it was just that she could not. The moment he entered the Ancient Temple, it was as if he has entered a no-zone area. Any connection with the outside world was completely cut off.

He could contact the mysterious lady only after going out of this Ancient Temple.

Suddenly, as if Ye Xiao realized something. He looked at the wooden box and muttered: "Could it be that the warning she gave me was not for the corpse but for this wooden box?"

"Could it be that the great danger the mysterious lady warned me about is actually coming from this wooden box?"

When Ye Xiao thought of this, he was shocked to an unbelievable degree.

The danger of the Fake Divine God Realm corpse was already very terrifying, what kind of danger is hidden inside this wooden box that is more terrifying than the corpse

Ye Xiao could not think of an answer at all.

"Ye Xiao, what happened?"

Queen's call pulled back Ye Xiao from the middle of his thoughts. He looked at the Queen and said with a deep breath: "I think we should not approach this box. There seemed to be a great danger inside."

Queen nodded in agreement. It is because even she could feel great danger and does not want to approach the wooden box anymore.

She said: "I think so too. Let's leave this place quickly."

Ye Xiao nodded his head and took a deep look at the wooden box before they both started retreating.

However, how could it be so easy to retreat when facing great danger? Although the danger was inside the box, retreating was still not easy.

Ye Xiao and Queen soon noticed that they seemed to have been trapped on the golden altar. No matter how hard they tried, they could not leave the altar at all. There seemed to be some kind of very mysterious and terrifying force keeping them on the altar against their own wills.

"What should we do now?" Ye Xiao muttered after trying to leave the altar many times and seeing all the hard work going to waste.

Queen took a deep breath and shifted her gaze at the wooden box. Then she said: "I think, we only have one way to leave!"

Ye Xiao frowned and looked at Queen's face. Then he followed her gaze to look at the rectangular wooden box in the middle of the altar.

He shook his head and said: "We should not approach the wooden box unless it is the last option. Let's try and see if we could find any other way to leave this altar. I think we could leave this Ancient Temple as soon as we could leave this altar."

Queen nodded and after that, both of them separated, going in two different directions on the altar, and started looking for any gap or anything that could help them leave this altar.

On the other side, Ye Xiao immediately activated the Eyes of Insight and started observing the altar.

His eyes glowed green and everything in front of his eyes instantly changed.

Ye Xiao immediately noticed that the force that is keeping them trapped on the altar was actually have nothing to do with the wooden box.

There seemed to be all kinds of strange patterns on the altar, forming a very weird and terrifying formation. And this was the formation keeping them trapped on the altar. These patterns were different from the patterns on the wooden box and on the body of the corpse. These patterns forming a trapping formation seemed to be being controlled by an unknown force coming from the void.

"Void God!"

Ye Xiao suddenly realized what is going on.

He was inside the Ancient Temple and the Ancient Temple was inside the Void God's Vault.

Ye Xiao instantly realized his mistake.

He should have thought about what an Ancient Temple is doing inside the Void God's Vault.

Since the Crystal Palace was called Void God's Vault, there should have been treasures stored inside.

However, when they entered the Void God's Vault, they were welcomed by countless skeletons. Later, he got to know that those skeletons were not there, instead, they appeared because of the illusion formation.

It means, the Void God's Vault wanted to trap the invader in the illusion formation at the very start.

Nevertheless, because of the reminder of the Mysterious Lady and his Eyes of Insight, Ye Xiao became aware of the illusion formation and ignored it.

After that, Queen ran toward the Ancient Temple and he had no choice but to follow her. He called her out but some mysterious force interfered and Queen was unable to hear him.

Ye Xiao slapped his forehead. He should have understood at that time that Void God was the one who interfered and made Queen unable to hear him and stop.

Void God knew I am in contact with the mysterious lady and am aware of many things, but Queen is different.

"It turned out that Void God always wanted to lure us inside the Ancient Temple!" Ye Xiao took a deep breath and muttered.

"But what for?"

There was still a question that he could not answer. He could not understand why the Void God wanted to lure them inside the Ancient Temple.

Ye Xiao thought about all the events that happened from the moment he entered the Void God's Vault. And soon come to a conclusion.

The Void God wants to use his and Queen's hands to open the rectangular wooden box in the middle of the altar.

And if it really is the case, then it means that the wooden box in the middle of the golden altar does not belong to the Void God. And it also means, the corpse from before must have something to do with the Void God, but at the same time, it should not have anything to do with the Void God.

Ye Xiao's guess was puzzling, but Ye Xiao understood everything thoroughly in an instant.
