Dark Phoenix Prince

Rumble... Rumble... Rumble...

The huge gate rumbled and shook, causing the area several kilometers around it to shake so badly that people almost fell out of balance.

When that happened, the large gate that previously had only stayed above the lake began to move.

However, the gate did not move to the side. Instead, it was moving forward so that Alu who was right in front of it could only fly backwards.

As the gate moved forward, the one hundred meter high gate began to shrink little by little.

Wow...

The people couldn't help being shocked when they saw that.

And what made the people even more surprised was that they started to see a giant spatial vortex appear right behind the gate.

"This must be the portal that will send us to the central area."

People spoke when they saw that spatial vortex.

"Is it safe?" Several people asked.

"There should be no trouble on this holy path. Unless it wants to hurt us." The others answered.

On the other hand, the gate still kept shrinking even after it had reached the size of an ordinary gate. It continued to shrink until it was only the size of a fairly large palm.

After the gate stopped shrinking, the fiery aura of the gate began to drop considerably.

In an instant, it only emitted the same faint aura as the aura of the previous three keys.

"I wonder what's so special about this thing." Said Alu.

After saying that, he then reached for the gate which had now become small.

When the gate was in his hands, the feeling that Alu felt was only similar to when he had held the keys before.

Whooss...

Right after that, a wisp of light suddenly descended from the sky and stopped right in front of Alu.

This caught the attention of many people.

The wisp of light floated in front of Alu for a few moments before fading away.

When the wisp of light disappeared, a silver armor emitting a golden glow suddenly appeared in front of him.

The armor consisted not only of body parts, but legs and head as well.

When people saw the armor, everyone's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Especially when they saw the nine suns floating around the armor, their bodies immediately trembled uncontrollably.

Nirvana Spiritual Artifact.

Countless exclamations echoed through the place.

"How did Nirvana Spiritual Artifact suddenly appear?"

"Is this a gift for the one who opened the dragon gate."

"Damn, this is a Nirvana Spiritual Artifact, why didn't I get it?"

In an instant, the place was filled with voices of jealousy.

For most of the people who were there, even the faction behind them didn't have any Nirvana Spiritual Artifacts or Weapons.

And those who have it at most only have one.

Now someone their age had suddenly got it before their very eyes. How could they not be jealous.

If it weren't for Alu's power that could easily slaughter every single one of them, they would definitely have rushed like wild beasts towards Alu.

Even Alu himself was very surprised by the appearance of armor in front of him.

This is armor.

Compared to weapons, making armor was much more difficult because it required more material.

Of course, the most important thing was the use of the armor.

Armor is different from weapons.

It is something that is used to protect the body.

It basically didn't have the power to attack. It only has defensive power, and as for defensive strength, one need not worry about not being able to release its strength.

As long as someone used that armor, perhaps only a high level Nirvana expert could injure that person.

"What pleasant luck!" Alu said with a happy expression.

After saying that, he immediately dripped a drop of blood onto the armor. After that, he immediately put it in his storage ring.

"Huh." Alu took a breath to calm himself down.

After which, he then scanned the small gate in his hand.

"Mm."

After a while of observing, Alu noticed some differences on each side of the gate.

When the gate was still big, he didn't see them.

But now.

On the right side of the gate, Alu saw two small holes, and on the left side of the gate, Alu saw two protrusions that looked just right if they were inserted into the two small holes on the right side of the gate.

Apart from the left and right, Alu also found them on the top and bottom of the gate.

"Looks like this gate can be joined with other gates."

Alu was able to immediately conclude after looking at the holes and protrusions on each side of the gate.

"Really interesting. I wonder what they become when they are combined?" Alu wondered.

After that, Alu then put the small gate into his shirt pocket.

Just like the previous keys, the gate also cannot be inserted into the storage ring.

Whooss...

After saving the small gate, Alu returned to the place where Rena and the others were.

To Alu's surprise, Rena didn't really react when he arrived beside her.

As for the people, their gazes were currently fixed on the newly appeared spatial vortex.

They looked like they wanted to enter it, but nothing moved first.

It's not that they are afraid to enter it, but because Alu hasn't entered yet, no one dares to enter first.

"You can enter now." Alu said as people started staring at him.

Only after Alu allowed them did they move closer to the spatial vortex.

They started jumping when they arrived at the shore of the lake.

Shua... Shua... Shua...

Dozens of people after tens of people jumped towards the spatial vortex, and when they arrived in front of that spatial vortex, their bodies were immediately drawn into it.

However, even after nearly everyone entered the spatial vortex, Alu still didn't move.

Of course, as time went by, more people came to the place.

Starting from the previous Krinn's group, Jather's group, and even Henn came to the place.

Even though only some time had passed, Henn had fully recovered from his wounds.

Judging from his aura, it was clear that he had consumed an extraordinary healing pill.

When Henn arrived at the place, he stared at Alu with sharp eyes.

Now, he no longer looks afraid of Alu.

Before he entered the spatial vortex, he even had time to shout at Alu.

But Alu ignored him and acted as if he didn't see it.

After a while, the people who came to the place were getting smaller and smaller.

"Looks like Elizabeth really isn't here." Alu said.

Alu did not immediately enter the natural spatial vortex because he wanted to wait for Elizabeth.

Unfortunately she really wasn't there.

"Alu, since the target is not here, we can only cancel the mission." Rena suddenly spoke. "After going to the central area, I also want to look for opportunities on my own. So I can't help you anymore."

She then looked at Alu.

"Now, as you say. Since you have obtained Nirvana's other spiritual artifact, it is about time you paid me." She said while extending her hand towards Alu.

She looked at Alu with cold eyes while Alu's eyes began to flicker.

Alu was still in joy because he had just obtained a Nirvana Spiritual Artifact, but Rena's words this time really made his happiness shatter.

Rumble...

Right after Rena spoke, the sky of the holy path suddenly rumbled quite loudly.

The origin of the rumble was of course the holy path tablet.

It's just that the rumble this time was a bit too loud so that Alu and Rena, who were still staring at each other, were surprised.

They stopped staring at each other, and immediately turned their gaze to the sky.

The greater the disturbance that occurred to the holy path tablet, it meant that the battle results that were recorded were also extremely extraordinary.

And the disturbance this time around was simply too great that a battle with a score of two stars seemed trivial in comparison to it. Even a three star score battle might not make such a big disturbance.

"Is this a four star?" Alu was surprised.

"And who was killed to get a four-star score. Or that person killed an extremely powerful beast."

Apart from the mysterious genius who was ranked first, killing one of the five strongest geniuses of the five Spiritual Academies would probably not earn a four-star score.

Immediately two names appeared on the holy path tablet, and when Alu saw them, Alu was completely shocked.

Elizabeth kills Gatlen.

Four star score.

Alu of course knows who Gatlen is. He had seen that name in the record of the strongest genius. And that name is ranked third.

Killing that person shouldn't get a four-star score.

"Unless Elizabeth kills that person with a lower cultivation." Alu said to himself.

At the thought, Alu couldn't help but breathe in the cold air.

And of course, his already bad mood became even worse.
