Alex walked around the area for a little while before Godslayer finally tracked down the source of the death aura.
"There, in that crevice. There's sothing there." With Godslayer's ssage, Alex quickly looked in that direction. Sure enough, he could also sense sothing in there.
A flash of black would appear in his vision from ti to ti before hiding itself. Alex finally released his Demon Eyes and looked at the crevice with normal vision.
Since whatever inside was most likely conscious, he had to be careful in his approach.
He took slow steps when moving toward it, concealing himself as much as possible so that he wouldn't stand out in the sea of sword aura.
He walked into the crevice itself and finally, he could clearly sense the death aura.
'So strong,' he thought. The temperature in this place was several degrees lower than what was outside due to the abundance of death aura, which was nothing but Yin Qi in the first place.
"Hmm?" Alex noticed sothing in the crevice, not on the ground or the corner, but attached to the wall about 2 ters above him. It was a small object that seed to be made of stone, tal, and wood all at the sa ti.
The texture was smooth and rough at the sa ti, making it look very weird to Alex. 'What's going on?' he couldn't help but ask himself.
The object wasn't changing at all but to all of his senses, it did.
As he looked closer, he saw its shape more clearly. It looked like a statue of a man sitting crosslegged with his palms together in a praying pose, carved to perfection.
It was small, but at the sa ti, it was full of Death aura.
Godslayer looked at the thing closely, feeling the death aura himself. He could tell sothing was up with the idol that was stuck to the wall. But what?
Was it the death aura in the idol? He didn't think so. Was it then the idol itself that was giving him so weird feeling?
'What am I missing?' Godslayer thought. Then, he noticed sothing that even soone from the immortal lands wouldn't recognize so easily.
The idol he was looking at sohow both existed and didn't at the sa ti.
"Holy…. Shit!" Godslayer couldn't help but say when he finally realized what the Idol was. "Is that… a Divine Creation?"
"A what?" Alex asked. He couldn't tell what Godslayer ant, but it did sound amazing. Having Divine in its na, it was most likely not sothing so simple.
"But how can such a thing have aura attached to it? It's not supposed to accept any aura at all," Godslayer spoke to himself. As he did, he realized sothing. "Wait, didn't you say soone was killed here previously?"
"Huh? Yeah, so immortal killed another immortal, or so the legend goes," Alex explained.
"Hmm… maybe it was not the immortals that fought that day," Godslayer said. "But rather… Divinities."
"What?" Alex suddenly freaked out. "A divinity? That thing up there belongs to soone in the Divine realm?"
Alex moved back a bit. The Divine realm was sothing he couldn't even hope to reach as he was right now. He hadn't even reached the Immortal realm, while the Divine realm was even higher than that.
The only person from the Divine realm he had ever seen was senior Yang back in the Central continent, and there was no doubt as to just how strong he was.
eαglesnᴏνel "How is this possible," Godslayer continued speaking to himself. "A Divine Creation should not hold any aura in it. It's not supposed to work like that. In the first place, how can it be still here if its creator died."
The facts contradicted each other, or so Godslayer thought. When he slowed down and thought about what were facts and what were rumors, the answer beca clear.
It was a fact that what he was looking at was a Divine Creation. It was a fact that the Idol held death aura in it. It was a fact that when the Idol's creator died, it disappeared as well.
What was not a fact but only a rumor was that the Immortal that was said to have created this ravine had killed his opponent.
But what if… what if he had not? What if his opponent was still alive?
Of course, it would be impossible for soone to remain as they were without their Divine creation. When separated from their Divine Creation, soone would lose all concept of themselves, and be nothing more than a zombie acting only on instinct. Such a person would certainly die every single ti.
To make sure that sort of thing never happened, Divinites had to never let out their Divine Creation outside their body, or at least keep it close by.
Or… in the case when they lose their body…
"They have to hide inside their Divine Creation," Godslayer slowly spoke to himself.
"Young man," he called out to Alex when he was certain as to what was going on. "Be careful. That idol up there, it holds within it the spirit of a Divinity."
Alex's face paled when he heard that. Without hesitation, he stepped out of the crack in fear and tried to run away just to be safe.
"Stop," Godslayer said. "You don't have to leave."
"Are you sure?" Alex asked, stopping so distance away. "If what you're saying is true, then I have to leave."
"I'm certain what I'm saying is true," Godslayer said. "But, things might not be as serious as it sounds."
"What do you an?" Alex asked while calming down a little.
"If what I said was to be taken at face value, and the spirit held any sort of intention to harm us, it would have killed us already," Godslayer said. "That, or the spirit would've tried to take your body or any other humans that have co here."
"You're not wrong," Alex said. "It's only sending so Death aura into everyone that cos across."
"It's probably doing so instinctively. It's either a defense chanism to kill anyone who cos by or it's trying to send its spirit into them, but all that's coming out is Death aura."
"There's probably one of two things happening right now," Godslayer said. "The first possibility is that the divine spirit is hiding within its creation, bidding for the ti it can co back alive."
"However, I don't believe that's the case. A divine spirit, even if it were hiding would have died to Heavenly Judgnt a long ti ago in this realm."
"What I think is really happening is that the divine spirit is all but dead. It has lost its concept of self and is only hanging along to life because it's inside of its creation."
"That also explains why there is so much death aura in that idol. Sothing is quite literally dying inside," Godslayer explained.
Alex thought for a mont about what Godslayer had said and asked, "How certain are you about this?"
"Trust . I know a thing or two about death," Godslayer replied. "That spirit inside that Idol is dying. If we can kill it completely and isolate that Death aura so that it doesn't run wild, then it can beco the perfect food for that should last a long ti."
