Lie Renwǒ's eyes widened as he took in the sight, his senses momentarily bewitched by the woman's ravishing beauty. However, he quickly regained his composure, his gaze turning stern.
"Where is my friend?" he demanded, his voice firm.
The woman, Lyraea, smiled, her voice husky and seductive. "Your friend is safe," she purred, "but I want you to do me a favor. I sense that your power is strong enough to accomplish the task."
Lie Renwǒ's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with possibilities. "Anything to receive Ling Yin back," he declared, his voice resolute. "I'll do it."
Lyraea's laughter was a melodic, husky sound, sending shivers down Lie Renwǒ's spine. "Excellent," she cooed, her eyes glinting with anticipation. "I shall reveal the task to you, Supreme God's Son. Are you prepared to face the challenge?"
Lie Renwǒ's eyes sparkled with curiosity as he asked, "How...?" But before he could finish, Lyraea's slender finger pressed against his lips, silencing him.
"Shhh, I heard something coming," she whispered, her eyes gleaming with a hint of mischief. "Let's move. We'll pass through the emptiness pathway."
As they traversed the desolate landscape, they eventually stopped at the entrance of the "Eclipse Temple." Lyraea's gaze locked onto Lie Renwǒ's, her expression serious.
"You can't join me in this temple," she said, her voice low and husky. "I'm not a god, and you're going to retrieve my treasure for me."
Lie Renwǒ's eyes narrowed. "Which treasure?" he asked, his curiosity piqued.
Lyraea's eyes seemed to glaze over, lost in thought. "Long years ago, this half of the Immortal Realm was as beautiful as yours. But a catastrophic event occurred, sparking a war between gods and demons. The realm was destroyed, and your father, the Supreme God, declared that demons would be allowed to inhabit this ruined land, while the gods would reside in the pristine realm."
Lyraea's gaze snapped back to Lie Renwǒ's. "The gods collected all our treasures and artifacts, which held our power, and hid them within this temple, a place demons cannot enter."
Lie Renwǒ's eyes blazed with intensity. "My dad?" he repeated, his voice laced with a mix of emotions.
Lyraea nodded. "Yes, but there's no time to explain. Just retrieve my treasure, and be cautious. You're not the only one seeking treasure within the Eclipse Temple."
As Lie Renwǒ stood before the entrance of the Eclipse Temple, he turned to Lyraea with a questioning gaze. "Whom am I going to compete with in the temple?" he asked, his curiosity piqued.
Lyraea's smile was enigmatic. "The Dark Heaven Lord," she replied, her voice low and husky.
Lie Renwǒ's eyes widened in surprise. "What?!" he exclaimed. "Oh, for the sake of my friend, I'll face it."
With a deep breath, Lie Renwǒ stepped into the temple, his eyes adjusting to the dimly lit interior. The air was thick with the scent of incense, and the walls were adorned with intricate carvings that seemed to dance in the flickering candlelight.
As he ventured deeper into the temple, Lie Renwǒ marveled at the treasures on display. Golden statues, precious jewels, and ancient artifacts lay scattered before him, each one more breathtaking than the last.
He entered a grand hall, the ceiling lost in darkness. The room was empty, except for a series of ancient writings etched into the walls. Lie Renwǒ's eyes scanned the texts, his mind absorbing the knowledge.
Suddenly, he spotted a small, almost imperceptible switch hidden in the carvings. Without hesitation, he pressed it, and a mysterious box slid out from the wall.
Lie Renwǒ's heart quickened as he opened the box, revealing two ancient scrolls: the Ji Xian Zhao – Ultimate Immortal Illumination, and the Dao Fa Jiu – Way Method Scroll (9th Level). Alongside the scrolls lay a small, exquisite sword, adorned with intricate patterns that seemed to shimmer in the dim light.
The sword's name, Xian Sheng Dao – Immortal God Blade, was etched onto its blade, along with its formidable abilities: a 10% chance to kill enemies instantly, and a 50% increase in attack power.
With the scrolls and sword in hand, Lie Renwǒ continued his quest to retrieve Lyraea's treasure. He traversed the winding corridors, his senses alert for any signs of danger.
Finally, he arrived at a frozen chamber, the air thick with icy mist. A massive ice cube dominated the center of the room, and within its frozen depths, a wicked destruction blade seemed to pulsate with dark energy.
Surrounding the ice cube were several Dark Heavenly Lords, their eyes closed in cultivation. Lie Renwǒ's gaze swept the scene, his eyes narrowing as he realized that this must be Lyraea's treasure.
With a fierce determination, Lie Renwǒ stood tall, his voice ringing out across the chamber. "Hey! What do you think you're doing to that treasure? It belongs to Lyraea, not you!"
The Dark Heavenly Lords' eyes snapped open, their gazes locking onto Lie Renwǒ with a mixture of surprise and hostility. The air seemed to vibrate with tension as they rose to their feet, their eyes blazing with malevolent intent.
