This is the archive for a civilization . They inscribed all of their civilization on the walls of this cavern! Wang Chong said to himself .

No matter how immense and developed this civilization was, when the time of its destruction was nigh and it wanted to leave behind evidence of its existence so that those who came after would know of it, it could only rely on the simplest of methods . Excessive complexity would place shadow over substance and fail to achieve the desired effect .

Wang Chong carefully examined the murals on the wall . As space was limited, the murals could not record much . In a very concise manner, they recorded the prosperity of this empire and its final destruction at the hands of the Ifrit .

At this moment, the Nightmare Beast said, “Master, take note of that metal sphere in the center . I sense mental ripples from it!”

Wang Chong quickly turned his attention to the sphere .

Not much had been left in these underground ruins . Anything usable had basically all been taken by Khatabah . The metal sphere and the square metal pillar on which it rested were fused to the room, making them impossible to take away .

Wang Chong walked over and placed his hand on the sphere . It felt cold to the touch, but a moment later, an energy erupted from the metal pillar . Wang Chong felt his mind instantly connecting the vast mental presence inside the sphere .

The Kegang Empire!

Wang Chong finally knew the name of this empire of Psychic Energy practitioners that was so closely connected to the World-Destroying Ifrit .

Their developed Psychic Energy arts had led them to have abundant imagination, and the buildings of the Kegang Empire were even more grandiose than those of Arabia . Through the metal sphere, Wang Chong was able to watch as the empire developed from a weak country into a great power, was able to see their countless majestic buildings with their bizarre shapes and styles .

The Kegang had apparently been fighting against the Ifrit for many generations . In their fight against the Ifrit, they had developed many kinds of methods, but in the end, the Kegang had not been able to prevent the destruction of their empire .

In the midst of their despair, they had decided to create this secret chamber so that not all marks of their civilization would be destroyed and that their civilization would continue to be passed down . They had also created the Shadow Fiends as guardians of their civilization, protecting these ruins from accidental destruction or invaders .

In addition, even though they couldn’t destroy the Ifrit, by gathering together the strength of all the people in the empire, they had managed to find a way to seal the Ifrit in this place, its place of birth .

It was a tough and powerful empire, worthy of respect . While they didn’t have anything like the Xuanyuan Sword that could destroy the Ifrit, at the final moment, they managed to launch the fiercest counterattack against that world-destroying monster! Wang Chong quietly said to himself .

The metal sphere was probably another method the Kegang had developed to preserve their culture . But Wang Chong also made a surprising discovery . The Kegang had gathered a large amount of information and found several ways to deal with the Ifrit . One of these things was called the Ifrit Core .

Apparently, this was the only kind of object that could control the Ifrit and minimize its threat in situations when it could not be killed .

But even though the Kegang spent all their lives searching for this object, they had failed to find it, and thus been unable to avert their demise .

Strange . If Khatabah didn’t get the Ifrit Core from here, where did he get it from? Wang Chong thought to himself as he frowned .

All of the information about Khatabah was there to see . Wang Chong did not believe that he could easily obtain what several generals of the Kegang Empire had failed to achieve despite their best efforts .

Moreover, if Khatabah had obtained the Ifrit Core earlier, he could have summoned the Ifrit long ago . Why had he waited until now?

The High Priest!

Wang Chong suddenly thought of a possible candidate .

The High Priest was the most long-lived and most mysterious character in all of the Arabian Empire . The Arabs themselves were not sure of his exact age .

He would appear at the most crucial of places, and his shadow could even be seen in Khatabah’s ascendancy . Moreover, he also seemed to have a thorough understanding of the Kegang Empire . If there was one man who could have helped Khatabah obtain the Ifrit Core, it was probably the High Priest .

The only thing that Wang Chong found strange was that even though Wang Chong had defeated the High Priest and seized his Forbidden Art Sea, obtaining almost all of his knowledge of the psychic arts, he had found nothing regarding the Ifrit Core .

Wait! Even though I defeated him and absorbed a lot of his Psychic Energy, I didn’t obtain a single memory of his!

Wang Chong suddenly raised an eyebrow .

When he defeated Masil and the Nightmare Beast, Wang Chong had also obtained some of their memories . But despite obtaining a complete victory over the High Priest, he had not obtained a single memory and still knew nothing of his background .

It was only after thinking about it for some time that Wang Chong realized just how wrong this was .

He suddenly felt that things were far from over between him and the High Priest!

But he quickly put this matter aside . The High Priest was dead! He had seen it with his own eyes . This could not be faked .

“Eh?”

As he was lost in his thoughts, a strange vibration came from the metal sphere . As Wang Chong placed his focus back on the sphere, he was shocked .

What powerful energy!

Wang Chong had believed this metal sphere to solely be a mental record of the Kegang culture, but after reading all the information, Wang Chong discovered that this metal sphere was also a kind of control core . Through the metal sphere, he could sense a vast sea of energy deep underground .

This energy had apparently existed since ancient times, and through the metal sphere, it maintained the existence of these ruins .

This is power left by the Kegang Empire! Wang Chong remarked to himself as he recalled the four metal pillars emerging from the lava and the fiery barrier protecting this place .

The world changed far too much with the passing of time . If a disappeared civilization wanted to preserve itself and not be forgotten, it required a massive source of energy . The true inheritance of the Kegang Empire was probably right below him .

The Kegang Empire’s inheritance circulated through an underground formation . Once this energy was extracted, this area and the city of Hamuhad above would undoubtedly be damaged . Given Khatabah’s personality and the presence of treasure in this place, he had probably been disinclined to absorb this energy .

But Wang Chong was different . He had nothing to do with the lands once ruled by Arabia’s supreme commander . Since he had encountered this immense energy, he could not permit it to go to waste deep down beneath the earth .

Bang!

Wang Chong sent a surge of Stellar Energy into the metal sphere and through the square pillar, deep into the earth .

A moment later, the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art activated, and that vast sea of fiery energy began to gush out like a spring, surging into Wang Chong’s body .

The energy sea underground was violent and chaotic, bursting with a natural character . Wang Chong sensed a lava-like energy, red and dazzling, and tyrannical and complex energy . This energy would be very difficult for even Great Generals to absorb .

But Wang Chong had the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art and the Origin Immortal Art, so he could easily convert this energy for his own use .

And even if he couldn’t use it, he could store it in the Energy Condensation Pearl .

Whatever the case, he couldn’t leave it for the Arabs .

Bang!

As the Stellar Energy surged, the images of the sun and moon appeared behind Wang Chong . Wang Chong was only a thought away from converting the underground energy into his own energy .

Suddenly!

“Mm?”

Wang Chong sensed something and stopped in surprise .

“What’s going on here?”

Wang Chong had been focused on absorbing the underground energy, but when the energy entered his body, he felt a strange tremor from his body .

The golden seed!

Wang Chong suddenly understood .

The Origin Immortal Lord had gifted the golden seed to Wang Chong, saying that it was key to saving the entire world .

Despite this, Wang Chong still had no idea what it was .

He had no idea when or what it would react to .

It had been dormant ever since his battle with the Tianfu Divine Lord .

He had not expected that it would react to the energy from these ancient ruins .

A moment later, Wang Chong guided all of the immense energy of the ruins to the golden seed .

Bang!

Though the golden seed was exceptionally small, it seemed to contain a space of infinite dimensions . The energy Wang Chong sent to it was like sending mud idols into the sea, rapidly vanishing without a trace .

Not only that, upon interacting with the underground energy, the golden seed unleashed a pull several times greater than that of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art .

A moment later, the energy left behind by the Kegang Empire began to move at an astonishing speed, the golden seed devouring it all like a whale .

This transformation left even Wang Chong dumbstruck .
