Chapter 139 Illusionary Void Mask
"…Now, you may remove your mask!"
After hearing Cyrus's gentle words, Hilda was very assured and finally remembered that the mask was still on her face. But unlike before, it no longer gives her that uncomfortable feeling.
Furthermore, she was going to reveal her face after over a decade of hiding it under that mask and in front of a man who she now has feeling nonetheless. So, she was somewhat shy and afraid at the same time.
Still, she knew she wasn't hideous and was told many times by her mother that she would be even more beautiful than her once she grew up, and her mother was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen.
So, calming her racing heart, she finally moved her hand to remove the mask on her face, and this time, without resistance, it left her face.
A deadly gorgeous pale white face, filled with coldness and grandeur, was revealed, with another-worldly temperament, carrying a kind of mesmerizing royal and proud bearing. Hilda was simply too beautiful, like a fairy, with her shaped face and attractive features.
Seeing the elegance of this peerless woman, Cyrus's eyes lit up as Hilda was really like those immortal women he used to see, and she was still a mortal, not to mention.
"Hmph, she is only so, so!" Eve commented with exasperation.
"Yes, in front of you." Cyrus quickly agreed with her since it was the most appropriate thing to do, and while Eve was instantly ecstatic by his words, he unsummoned her.
At this moment, Hilda's heart was racing as she thought about what Cyrus would think of her while seeing her for the first time, and it was even more exhausting and anxious than fighting hundreds of enemies.
But all of a sudden, she noticed something, the instant that mask left her face, something seemed to have been triggered within her, and her cultivation technique suddenly circulated on its own!
"It seems your suppressed talent because of this mask is about to bloom, and you will experience a huge leap in your cultivation. Don't miss this chance. Let's go back quickly." Cyrus also noticed the slowly rising Qi around Hilda and quickly took her back to her room.
Then he took the mask from her and left her to cultivate. He knew when she was done cultivating. She would be the strongest woman in this dimension and most likely to be the first temple priest!
Although nothing else happened, but Cyrus was not hasty with his approach because he was also waiting for the Lust Mission at his 20th tier. If it occurred, then he wanted to be absolutely prepared, and if it was not, then it would be nothing but good news.
Meanwhile, he finally got the chance to have a good look at the Magic Item, the silver mask.
As its new owner, Cyrus can now gain access to its full features with a single thought, and when he discovered its function, a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes.
? ? ? ? ?
"Level-9 Ascension Grade Magic Item, Illusionary Void Mask?" Cyrus muttered the name which appeared in his mind.
Every treasure above the mortal grade was not a normal treasure, and an ascension-grade treasure would have very little intelligence, especially a level-9 ascension grade.
Ascension has nine levels of both spells and items like treasures and alchemy.
So, this Illusionary Void Mask was at the peak of the Ascension Grade treasures, and it was not just random treasure either.
It was a space-type treasure. It has three functions, Void Storage. Anything could be stored in it, from energy to physical objects, but if used for energy, then it can't be used for physical items, and the same goes for items over energy. Furthermore, it can't store living objections either.
The entire storage space was 100 miles wide, and this alone made this treasure quite precious.
When it was put on Hilda, this mask was set up to only absorb the 99% destruction energy on Hilda, and it was now little over half filled with that absorbed energy that had been accumulated in it for a decade.
The other function was Illusionary Disguise which can change anyone's appearance according to their will, and no one below a deity could see through it.
The final function was something that made Cyrus astonished. It was called the Void Walker, and there was no description of it at all.
But if this Void Walker was the same as the Void Walker in his knowledge, then by all means, this function can only appear in treasures over deity grade.
Because if this was true, Void Walker, then this mask was even more precious than a deity treasure, and Cyrus would gain colossal profit by virtually doing nothing.
'I can only confirm the authority of this function when I break the mortal shackle. Until then, this mask will be my exclusive storage treasure, and it would be easier to move around with it. It's just a pity it would not function properly since I don't have mana, but Qi…' Cyrus was lamenting when he was suddenly stopped as his eyes shone sharply, 'Wait, I don't have Qi as well it's just what I called it myself. It's Sword Nebula Energy, a completely unheard-of energy. So how can I be sure that it won't work properly on a Qi treasure as well?'
Cyrus's mind raced as he put the mask over his face and then tried to activate the Illusionary Disguise, and to his surprise, there was no restriction from the magic item at all.
"System can it be the Sword Nebula Energy can be used on any items from any three cultivation systems?" Cyrus quickly asked the system for confirmation as it was simply too good to be true.
But the reaction of this magic item was evidence of it, and although he didn't have any Qi or Soul items around to test this theory, he has a very good feeling about this now.
"[You can think of the Sword Nebula Energy as a Universal Energy.]"
Cyrus was thrilled to hear this and almost laughed out loud in elation because this meant he wasn't restricted by any type of energy treasure and could sue them as he wished.
plans regarding Hilda. But they will be going to regret ever trying scheming against my women…"
If not for this mask, he might never have discovered it so soon.
After calming down, he thought with a cold look in his eyes, "Now, what can I do with this much pure destruction energy? I should refine it into Qi pills and then let Hilda refine it again since it belonged to her in the first place. It will also increase her cultivation by many folds. She might even break the mortal shackle even before me!
"That temple priest and the entity behind him won't take it very kindly that I took away this precious treasure as well as ruined their plans regarding Hilda. But they will be going to regret ever trying scheming against my women…"
Killing intent flashed past Cyrus's eyes as he sat over his ruler's throne and looked over the entire bustling Origin Lust Sword Dimension.

Inside a spacious hall that was decorated lavishly, there was a tall silver statue of a magnificent bird spreading its elegant silver wings.
At this moment, a tall humanoid figure in silver robes was prostrating itself in front of the bird statue, and surprisingly, there were two folded silver wings on its back.
The person's pleading voice rang as it smacked its head on the floor a few feet away from the bird's sharp talons, "This humble priest requests an audience with His Eminence, Temple Bishop!"
After a couple of seconds, the gem-like blue eyes of the silver birds suddenly glow brightly before an icy cold voice sounds, "Why are you disturbing my sleep, Priest?"
The Temple Priest didn't dare to look up as it remained in its prostrating position, and pleadingly said, "I-I had no choice, Your Eminence, something big has happened!"
"It's better to be worth disturbing my sleep. Speak what has happened that you can't handle?" The icy voice questioned impassively.
The Temple Priest took a huge breath and finally uttered, "T-the Girl of the Victorious Family, the one with an unknown Destruction type Unique Physique…"
"Wait? Is she dead?" The icy voice asked, and for the first time, a clear tingle of viciousness was present behind it.
The Temple Priest trembled as he felt chills on his spine, and he knew no matter what, he was not going to escape calamity today.
"No, she is not dead. But…"
"Then why are you disturbing me? Did she elope with someone? Don't worry. As long as the mask I sent here is on her face, no one can take her virginity, and that man will die." The voice confidently declared.
The Temple Priest trembled even more, and this time, he quickly blurted, "No, something worse has happened, Temple Bishop. Not only someone removed the girl's bloodline, but they were even able to steal the mask His Eminence had sent to suppress that girl!
"I'm afraid someone from the other temple dimensions has gotten their hands on that girl!"
Deadly silence descent the entire hall before the Temple Bishop's furious voice thundered in the entire hall, "WHO DARES TO STEAL MY THINGS!?"
