"Begone, filth!"
Without hesitation, she struck, and a torrent of abyssal Qi slammed into the altar!
However, right at that moment, the Abyssal Qi, imbued with the might of an Abyssal Half-King, instead of shattering the altar, the stone absorbed it!
The Dread Duchess's eyes narrowed as she muttered, "It's a parasitic altar. I guess it's just like the cult to build a leech disguised as stone!"
She knew there were many types of rituals in the Abyss of Wandering Souls, and the most troublesome ones were those that were built for sacrifice, not to mention powerful, so she must shift her approach.
A second wave of Abyssal Qi wrapped around the idol, this time probing, dissecting, scraping through layers of hidden inscriptions. Runes flickered into sight; they were twisted, broken symbols that writhed like worms when exposed.
The instant her Qi touched the horned statue's core, the world around her suddenly vanished as if darkness had devoured everything!
