At this moment, Ace finally reached Varcor's cultivation sector. His assigned cave was located on the third tier of the Ninth Legion district, a position reserved for Abyssal Guardians.
The entrance was sealed by a corpse-rune array keyed to Varcor's Undead Soul signature, but it wasn't a problem for Ace as he stepped forward without hesitation.
The rune formation reacted instantly, corpse-veins lighting up briefly before recognizing hi,m and the next moment, the stone gate slid aside.
Inside, the cave was spacious but austere. A central corpse altar dominated the chamber, carved from the skull of a massive, unknown beast. Corpse Qi pooled around it in slow spirals.
Some weapon racks lined the walls, and refinement diagrams were etched into the ceiling because Varcor was also a Five-Star Abyssal Rune Crafter, and in the rear, a sealed storage vault pulsed faintly with protective runes.
