Death… And Me

Chapter 3567: Safe?

The bottles with purple liquid quickly started to run out, making the experts from the big powers narrow their eyes. The water now was much, much clearer, but still too dark. They knew what it was capable of, and if they didn’t purify it enough, they would die inside it regardless. Even worse, they would become fuel for the next explosions.

Some people thought about using a boat or something like that. They tried to make one out of any materials they brought within their Spatial Rings. Unfortunately, none of them worked. As long as they touched the water, everything decayed almost instantly. Good thing they didn’t put anything inside that had much energy. Very tiny explosions, nothing anyone would care about, happened when those ’boats’ were taken down by the lake, using the little bit of energy in them.

Finally, the last bottle available was poured into the water, but it did not get clear enough for the various experts to try to enter it.

”Everyone,” one of the experts from Universe F954 called everyone’s attention. ”As you can see, we need the content of those bottles to clear the water. I’m pretty sure some of you stumbled into these bottles but decided to not use them. I ask you to give up that idea. Without purifying the water, no one will step forward, let alone find how to reach the Celestial Realm. Please, if you have any, just come forward and pour the contents inside.”

”Does that mean you didn’t need prior knowledge about the bottles to find them?” Another expert asked, curious. He and the others who didn’t know about the bottles thought that only those with knowledge of this place could obtain them.

”That is correct,” the guy from F954 nodded. ”You probably noticed that those from the top powers, like me, knew about them, but that doesn’t mean we could find them all. They can be found inside hidden Spatial Compartments. Without a doubt, you can find them around the lake range, and since we don’t have enough, some of you have definitely stumbled into some of these compartments. There is no point in keeping your bottles, even if you found them by chance. They can only be used in the lake, nowhere else. Otherwise, we from the top powers wouldn’t have used all of ours.”

Roan glanced at Elsie and sent her a Divine Sense Message. ’Can you truly find those things by chance? Don’t they need the medallion you used?’

Elsie shoow her head. ’The medallion acts more like a detector. It wasn’t really necessary to open that Spatial Compartment. That’s why the big powers were the ones to find most of the bottles. Not only did they have a lot of people to look for them, but they also had the medallions. However, if you truly get very close, you can stumble on it. You will feel that compartment’s existence. It’s just that no one is an idiot. Anyone who didn’t know about the compartments and stumbled on one didn’t tell others about them. Now, just like us, there should be a few experts with those bottles in their hands.’

Roan nodded, bringing out his bottle and speaking to the guy who made the request earlier. ”Here, we did stumble on a compartment. Since there is no other use except for the lake’s purification, we might as well add our own inside.”

The guy’s eyes lit up, smiling at Roan. ”Little friend here has such a low cultivation, but at least your luck was big. Yes, go ahead and pour the contents.”

The experts opened the way, and the twins’ group poured their bottles’ contents into the lake until nothing was left. The man himself gave them an excuse for having the bottles, so they took that chance to give them away.

Seeing the twins pouring their bottles’ contents into the lake, a few other experts joined them. It was like Elsie mentioned. Most of the bottles were found by the big powers, but some luck experts just happened to stumble on the compartments.

The lake got even clearer, although there was still a dark tinge.

*Zush!*

Suddenly, the same expert who called Roan a friend flashed over, attacking without warning. Elsie was taken aback, immediately running out of the way. However, she wasn’t the target. Instead, it was Rean.

Well, Rean wasn’t surprised. As the water got clearer, that also meant its poison and corruption were losing effect. However, someone would eventually need to enter it to see if they would die due to the lake’s powers. What that man tried to do was simple. He didn’t try to kill Rean; he just wanted to knock Rean into the lake. As for whether Rean died or not, the guy couldn’t care less. He only wanted to see the result.

Rean’s body burst with Sky Energy, his enhancement skill increased his speed, and he used Roan’s movement ability.

’Death Style, Shadow Steps!’

*Bang!*

He stomped his feet on the ground, leaving the area of the attack in an instant. Everyone saw that, surprised. The attack was already unexpected, but Rean being able to react with his low cultivation was even more so.

”What?!” The guy was shocked by Rean’s reaction and immediately tried to change direction. His laws gathered, and he tried to turn around...

*Tud!*

However, he truly underestimated the twins’ group. Out of nowhere, a vine sprout from the ground, grabbing his leg and swinging him like a whip. His own momentum was used against him, and he was sent flying into the lake, much to everyone’s surprise. Before the guy even touched the water, Celis pulled his leg out of the dirty. He was the one who acted just now.

One couldn’t fly in this place through the use of energy, and the man wasn’t a Demon Bird or any other kind of flying being. He immediately fell into the lake.

*Splash!*

All the experts around didn’t think twice, running away from the lake. This time, however, not that far, as only one person fell inside. There would be an explosion, but they should be able to easily resist it without fleeing more than necessary.

However, the man didn’t turn black like the previous experts. Could it be that the water was safe to enter now? Well, that idea disappeared from their minds a few seconds later.
