Chapter 702: Trial of Freezing Mist (1/2)

Rumble…!

The heavy gate grinding along the ground's surface caused the area to tremble as it was slowly pushed open by Leon with brute strength.

Aria smiled shortly before following after Darlene.

Her husband was right.

Regardless of the truth that lies at the end of Primal Chaos, it did not matter to them. What's important is to grow strong and overcome the tribulations of life.

As Darlene followed behind Leon closely, she was confused about the entire topic. The subject seemed too advanced for her to follow along.

Even so, she understood one thing from Aria and Leon's discussion—that the world was ending, supposedly.

”Is the universe really ending? How do we even know that?” Darlene inquired doubtfully before saying, ”I didn't even know that was possible…”

”You can say that we have overestimated the universe's ability to live long years and have forgotten the fragility of life. We, as humans, should have known about that best, but I guess everyone didn't expect the universe to be included. So yeah, Primal Chaos is coming to an end,” Leon replied.

”I have seen the dimension crack that will eventually bring death to this world and the rest of Primal Chaos at the center. On the other side of it lies an endless sea of chaos that swallows all material existence, reducing them to nothingness.”

”When did you get the time to go there?” Darlene's eyes widened with surprise at Leon's claim before quickly adding, ”Is that even possible?”

”Physically, hard to say. At least, at our current level, it is not possible to go there,” Leon shook his head and said, ”However, my soul has reached a certain level of quality to come in contact with the world's law and was summoned during my meditation.”

”There, I also met two seniors, the Celestial Ruler of Gaia, Celestial Earthshaker, and a much older World Tree, Saint Voidflame.”

Aria did not seem surprised hearing this as Leon has mentioned them to her before.

However, Darlene was immediately taken aback before she looked at Leon doubtfully and asked, ”Hubby, you… didn't fall asleep and dream all this up, right?”

”…”

Leon was speechless.

Nevertheless, Darlene suddenly felt cold from the quick drop in temperature, causing her body to shiver before Leon pulled her closer and kept her warm.

”Anyway, let's focus on this trial,” Leon stated before saying, ”A slight distraction could cost us our lives here. After all, this trial is supposed to possess some level of danger—but what kind of danger exactly, we will find out soon enough.”

Bang!

The entrance suddenly shut tight behind them, sealing them inside the tomb and cutting off the little bit of light there was, plunging the tomb into darkness.

Snap!
