With each step, he could feel the surrounding abyssal energy increasing.
These energies were like long-lost friends, actively drawing closer to him, encircling him, forming a strange resonance.
"Bloodline Altar... this imprisoned 'mini-abyss'..."
The Holy Disc murmured softly, a near-pitying emotion in its voice: "Today, I shall grant you freedom."
Passing through several ruined corridors, he finally reached the core area of the control node—a vast circular space where an ancient stone platform stood in the center, engraved with intricate runes and patterns.
Surrounding the stone platform were twelve towering crystal pillars, each emitting a blood-red glow, reflecting the entire space in a hellish, bizarre manner.
The most eye-catching feature was the huge red crystal suspended above the stone platform.
That was the core of the control node, the key to sealing abyssal energy, established by the Great Wizard of Crystal Tower when transforming this small space.
