Hearing this, Apollo didn’t say anything, as it might be the place, but due to the drastic change of ruins, the valley which was supposed to be filled with a sacred aura turned into this chaotic ss of light and darkness.
At first glance, the two forces seed to be clashing endlessly.
Yet in his perception, which was far beyond that of the others, he felt sothing.
As his senses carefully swept across the valley, he noticed sothing strange.
Even though the valley looked like a chaotic battlefield of opposing powers, he could faintly feel a mysterious harmony hidden within the disorder. It was subtle—so subtle that no one else present seed capable of detecting it.
Deep within the chaotic mixture of light and darkness, there existed a delicate balance.
A hidden equilibrium.
The sacred aura and the dark energy were not truly destroying each other. Instead, they seed to be intertwined in a strange cycle, maintaining a fragile yet profound stability.
And from that balance— A mysterious and extrely powerful force appeared to be forming.
It wasn’t simple, and even he needed to be careful. He then looked at Lucifer and voiced his concern.
"I cannot say what is within the valley or what kind of dangers are hidden in it. So if you want to follow , rember to remain close."
Lucifer nodded, and others also agreed, as right now Apollo was like the divine light in these ruins that could protect them.
Apollo lead the group carefully as they slowly entered the valley.
The mont they travelled a short distance inside, everyone imdiately felt the difference.
Although the air here still carried a mixture of sacred and dark auras, it no longer felt oppressive or chaotic like it had from outside the valley.
Instead, the energy felt strangely harmonious.
The warriors of the Sacred Light Empire were the first to notice the change.
Lucifer’s eyes widened slightly.
"I... can feel it."
The others soon realised the sa thing.
Even though darkness was mixed into the energy of the valley, they strangely felt comfortable rather than disturbed. In fact, the sacred aura around them seed clearer and more active.
For Lucifer and the other mbers of the Sacred Light Empire—
Their comprehension of the Rule of Light was slowly improving. This made them shocked and believe they were in the right place and there’s definitely a great treasure here.
Apollo also felt the power of rules of light, but he also felt the power of darkness. But this made the whole place more interesting.
As they eagerly moved forward deeper in the valley, the rules of light and darkness started to beco clearer; many of the soldiers of the sacred light empire broke through while moving.
For a mont, it felt as though the valley truly was a blessed land rather than a dangerous ruin.
But Apollo’s expression gradually turned serious.
Suddenly—
He felt sothing. A faint disturbance.
Several miles ahead.
Inside the valley, his senses were suppressed far more than usual, limiting his perception to only a few miles. Even so, the fluctuation he felt was unmistakable.
"...Again."
Apollo’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He sensed it a second ti.
Movent.
Not just one presence.
His perception expanded again, pushing against the invisible suppression of the valley.
Then his expression changed.
Because within the span of a few breaths, the number of presences multiplied.
Dozens.
Then hundreds.
Hundreds of life signatures appeared ahead of them. And every single one carried a powerful aura.
None of them were weak.
"Everyone stand back and be prepared." His voice rang in the group mind.
Hearing this, their expression changed, as from the beginning since they entered the valley, Apollo had never appeared this serious as they had seen him slaughtering transcendent beings, and yet he appeared a bit anxious.
All of them quickly beca alert, taking out their weapons and protective treasure.
The mist ahead slowly stirred.
Darkness shifted like a curtain being pulled aside.
Then—
Figures began to erge.
One by one.
At first there were only a few silhouettes, but soon more shapes appeared behind them. Dozens... then hundreds... slowly walking out of the valley’s thick mist.
When the Sacred Light warriors finally saw them clearly—
Shock froze their expressions.
"Fallen...!"
Soone whispered in disbelief. But these were not the sa as the fallen they had encountered before.
Each of them possessed wings. Yet the wings were strange.
One wing was pitch black. The other was radiant gold. Light and darkness coexisted upon the sa body.
The opposing powers that normally annihilated each other were sohow perfectly fused within them.
And their powerful aura that terrified, as every single one seed to reach the half-step transcendent realm, aning right now they were surrounded by more than a hundred half-step transcendent.
Apollo was the only one who was still calm, as even though a hundred half-step transcendents were a terrifying force, it still wasn’t trouble for him.
But what surprised was their peculiar nature of having two opposite powers within them, yet they seed to be perfectly fine.
The power of darkness and the power of light are equally opposite and volatile, like fire and water, but here they sohow seem to overco the fundantal rule of the universe.
This was not rely a superficial mixture of energies.
He was observing it at the level of rules.
Opposing elental rules could indeed be comprehended by the sa individual, though it was extrely difficult. However, normally they would remain separate—coexisting but never truly rging.
But here...
The deep power within their bloodlines had fused in a true sense.
Light and darkness were no longer enemies within them.
They had beco a single, unique power.
It was as though they had broken a fundantal law of the universe.
Even Apollo felt a trace of curiosity.
Because this was sothing very few beings could ever achieve naturally.
Their cultivation levels were only half-step transcendent, yet because of this fusion of opposing powers, their strength had reached the absolute peak of that realm.
Each one of them was far stronger than an ordinary half-step transcendent.
In terms of combat talent alone, they could easily be called genius-level warriors.
And now—
There were hundreds of them.
If these beings fought together in perfect coordination, their combined strength might even be able to temporarily hold back a first-order Transcendent.
Lucifer and other warriors from the sacred light empire were also shocked, as they could feel that they had similarities with their bloodline power, but at the sa ti it was completely different.
