Su Chen's Demonic Emperor Scepter had absorbed enough of the skeleton soldiers and was now charged with a fair amount of energy.
Very soon, not many of the fifty billion skeleton soldiers were left. Apart from a portion of those who had fallen into the dark demon race, only a thousand or so managed to enter Evernight.
But these skeleton soldiers were still demonic creatures at the bottom of the hierarchy, and they were also part of the undead race. In truth, their vitality was pitifully low. Even fifty billion of them could only charge the Demonic Emperor Scepter with less than two percent of its energy. It would seem that reactivating the demonic heavenly court wasn't an easy task.
But this wasn't Su Chen's main concern. After dealing with the golden skeleton general, he once again entered Evernight and caught up with the skeleton soldiers.
"Diandian, how's the appraisal?"
"After the appraisal, we found that these surviving skeleton soldiers belonged to the light-attribute races."
Su Chen said thoughtfully, "Ashes originate from the darkness, so it's only natural that light can restrain the darkness. But is it really that easy?"
Su Chen possessed the complete inheritance of the Three Purities Sect, and the Heavenly Dazzling Holy Light was one of the pinnacle masterpieces of the light-attribute. But even if he used the Heavenly Dazzling Holy Light to illuminate Evernight, he could only disperse a small portion of it. If he wanted to disperse all of Evernight, he would have to increase his Heavenly Dazzling Holy Light by a trillion times.
Four hours passed by.
The remaining thousand or so skeleton soldiers were gradually unable to resist the invasion of Evernight and fell one after another.
Very soon, only a few dozen skeleton soldiers were left.
But they had finally arrived at their destination.
It was a crisscrossing canyon, and there was an ancient demonic palace in the middle of the canyon.
According to the golden skeleton's memories, this should be the demonic palace built by an ancient demonic tyrant named Sabis. Back then, this tyrant had ruled over the demon race for tens of millions of years. He was the demon king who had ruled the demon race the longest after the Chiyou Demon God.
Even if there was no source code here, being able to discover such a demonic palace was indeed a treasure trove.
"Your mission ends here."
Su Chen waved his hand, and those skeleton soldiers who didn't even have time to feel surprised were all turned into powder and dissipated.
Su Chen's body bloomed with light, dispersing the darkness in the canyon. He strode into the demon palace and what entered his eyes was a perfectly preserved pitch-black stone statue.
It was the statue of Demon Lord Sabis.
Sabis was someone who had lived for hundreds of millions of years, but as he stood in front of the statue, Su Chen could vaguely sense the fluctuations of faith contained within the statue.
Sabis, the tyrant of the past, had cultivated countless fanatical believers. The amount of faith he had accumulated was unimaginable.
Unfortunately, Su Chen could not refine the power of faith of others. Even if he took it, it would be useless.
Bypassing the statue, Su Chen entered the Demon Palace.
There were three rooms inside. The first room was filled with all kinds of rare top-grade spirit ores. There was a lot of them.
Although Su Chen had many Immortal Artifacts and these mortal ores were no longer attractive to him, these spirit ores were enough to create thousands of transcendent-grade Sacred Artifacts. They were still very valuable.
It just so happened that his wives lacked powerful artifacts. Su Chen could use this batch of spirit ores to create dozens of transcendent-grade Sacred Artifacts and give them as gifts.
It's really hard to find a good man like me even with a lantern.
Walking into the second room, there were dozens of skeletons. These skeletons were probably Saint King Realm experts when they were alive. They should have been subordinates of Sabis.
Su Chen was not interested in them and directly jumped into the third room.
As expected, the source code was here.
It was sealed in a huge black crystal.
And it wasn't just the source code. There was also a stone tablet, a set of armor, and a majestic looking giant sword sealed in the black crystal.
Su Chen waved his hand and directly broke the seal of the black crystal. First, he absorbed the source code, then put away the armor and giant sword. Finally, he picked up the stone tablet and studied it.
The words on the stone tablet were very strange. It seemed to be written with some kind of law. Su Chen could barely understand the meaning.
"At the end of the night are ashes that destroy everything. I once entered the ashes to search for the truth of the other side. There was a terrifying existence sealed there. No … it might be a terrifying country. Everything there made me, the Tyrant Sabis, feel a deep fear. That was the only time I escaped in my life. Since then, I finally understood that if I can't become eternal, then no matter how powerful I am, it's worthless."
These were the last words Sabis had left behind before he died.
But his descendants did not announce these last words. Instead, they sealed them here. They probably did not want the world to see them.
If these last words were announced, who knew how big of a commotion it would cause.
A place that even the Tyrant Sabis feared to the point of escaping was simply unimaginable.
"Could it be that this place is a higher dimension?
Then the origin of the Eternal Night is indeed from a higher dimension. It could even be said that the Eternal Night is the entrance to a higher dimension … "
Su Chen fell into deep thought.
'Ding … successfully absorbed the ninth source code. Reward: 10000 super skill points, one chance to draw from the roulette.'
The three source codes of the Demon Abyss were now in his hands.
"Master, I really like this set of armor and this greatsword. Can you give them to me?" The centaur lady who was following behind Su Chen suddenly asked.
Su Chen looked at the armor and giant sword's attributes.
They were both middle-grade immortal equipment.
The Tyrant's Armor and Tyrant's Sword.
They both contained Sabis's powerful will. If someone with a weak will equipped them, they would be affected by the Tyrant's will and become fond of killing.
However, this state was ineffective on the Centaur Lady. The Centaur Lady was an illusionary beast, a Primordial Mongol. Her strength alone was enough to beat up Sabis. Moreover, illusionary beasts were top-notch auspicious signs. Their luck was incomparably strong, and they would not be affected by external forces.
Although the Centaur Lady looked easy to fool, that was because Su Chen had enough strength and luck, so the Centaur Lady would not be hostile to him. Why don't you try it with someone else?
They would be crushed with a single hoof.
Su Chen was not stingy. He gave the Centaur Lady the Tyrant's Armor and Tyrant's Sword. However, Su Chen found that the size was not quite right. After all, the Centaur Lady was a little too big. When she stood up, she was more than five meters tall.
"Wait a moment. Let me modify this armor."
With that, Su Chen activated the Great Holy Flame and took out a pile of top-grade spirit ores that he had just obtained from the room next door. He began to refine the Tyrant's Armor. At the same time, he took out a pile of Strengthening Talismans and enchantment gems to strengthen the Tyrant's Sword.
Soon, an upgraded version of the Tyrant's Armor that perfectly fit the Centaur Lady's figure was produced.
Just as the Centaur Lady was about to reach out to take it, Su Chen chuckled and said, "Let your master put it on for you."
