"Sure enough, it works."
Upon turning Doren's Key, Shi Feng noticed the blue glow surrounding the key flow into the golden gate. Suddenly, the gate released a brilliant golden radiance. As if it were the sun, the gate illuminated the Eternal Courtyard.
The gate clanked as it slowly opened. Following which, a surge of cold air bubbles rushed out of the gate. Reacting quickly, Shi Feng immediately jumped backward.
However, as Shi Feng was currently underwater, he could not move as fast as usual. As a result, the bubbles blasted him backwards.
Shi Feng only felt a stinging pain before his HP instantly fell by 2,000 points.
_The cold air here is so powerful._
Shi Feng looked at his HP bar in disbelief. Fortunately, his Ice Resistance was sufficiently high. Otherwise, that air bubbles would have killed him. Shi Feng then took out an Intermediate Recovery Potion from his bag and drank it, recovering some of his lost HP.
Despite having 60 points in Ice Resistance, he had still lost 2,000 HP instantly. How cold was it beyond this gate?
Fortunately, after the gate finally opened, the cold air scattered, and the spiraling tower was no longer as cold as before.
After Shi Feng entered the temple, he was immediately greeted by a large hall containing golden statues of various Ancient Gods.
Among the many statues, there was one particularly eye-catching statue that depicted a valiant man raising up his sword. That man stood in the very center of the hall, and high-grade swords littered the area around him. A simple glance told Shi Feng that there were over a thousand swords stabbed into the ground. Meanwhile, every sword seemed like it was submitting to the man.
Shi Feng could even faintly feel the Abyssal Blade in his hand grow restless as if it, too, wanted to go forth and submit to that man.
Shi Feng was astounded.
That man in the center of the hall was simply a statue. Yet, the Abyssal Blade that Shi Feng feared even showed signs of submission to him. Just how powerful had he been when he was alive?
Meanwhile, a dark blue crystal ball sat below the statue. This crystal ball emitted an intense cold.
Upon seeing this crystal ball, Shi Feng came to a realization.
The reason the pool of water containing the Eternal Courtyard was so cold was that of the crystal ball before him.
Shi Feng's heart suddenly trembled at this discovery.
If the crystal ball was capable of lowering the temperature of this large pool to such a degree, it was definitely a treasure.
Following which, Shi Feng quickly swam towards the crystal ball, hoping to claim it.
However, before Shi Feng could reach the crystal ball, a sharp pain shot through his fingers, a damage of -1,000 points appearing above his head. Shi Feng had no choice but to back off.
Shi Feng silently lamented as he gazed at the dark blue crystal ball. Despite such a powerful treasure sitting right before him, he could not take it as his own.
Just as Shi Feng was about to move on and look for other treasures, a system notification rang out.
System: The Will of an Ancient God drifts around this Eternal Hall. Are you willing to surrender to this Will?
