Necromancer of The Shadows - Chapter 1194: Universal Spring (part 2)

Upon being teleported by the sea-floor formation, Anastasia found herself standing in the midst of a vast grassy plain. The land stretched out as far as the eye could see, covered in rich, vibrant grass with colourful plants blooming in every direction. The sky above was a soft, light blue, adorned with floating white clouds that moved lazily across the horizon.

The Shadows Dragon looked around curiously, using her spiritual senses to scan the vast plain, wanting to understand what kind of place it was.

However, when she extended her spiritual senses, she found there were no living beings within hundreds of thousands of kilometres around her. Though she didn’t detect life, what she discovered left her shocked.

“There are hundreds of different kinds of high-grade herbs growing here,” She muttered to herself, taking a step forward and instantly vanishing from her position.

When she reappeared, she stood in front of a flowerbed filled with dark purple flowers. The bed was vast, and each of the purple flowers emitted a soothing scent that calmed her mind and nourished her soul.

Most of the purple flowers had two petals, but a few had three and around six flowers had four petals, and the soothing scent from the four-petal flowers was much stronger, three to four times more potent than those with three petals.

“Violet Soul Nourishing Flowers,” Anastasia whispered in shock. “These flowers are nearly extinct in Utopia, but there are hundreds of them here.”

Her astonishment was clear in her voice as she knelt and plucked a Violet Soul Nourishing Flower with four petals and without hesitation, ate it.

The moment Anastasia ate the flower, she felt her spiritual power, which was already at the peak of Rank Six grow slightly.

The improvement was minor, almost unnoticeable, but the fact that she gained a slight increase from a single flower left her speechless.

“This thing is as amazing as the records say,” She said with a shake of her head, her eyes scanning the surroundings.

As she looked around, she saw that other than the Violet Soul Nourishing Flowers, there were countless herbs and plants, all of them valuable treasures in their own right.

“Where is this place?” Anastasia wondered aloud, her eyes filled with confusion as she tried to make sense of her surroundings.

She continued to look around and after a while, she thought of something and directed her spiritual senses deep into the ground, penetrating below the surface.

After a few moments of observation, her eyes lit up in surprise, and she withdrew her senses.

“The surface is filled with rich herbs and high-level plants, while underground there are many high-level materials,” She said, recalling the variety of rare materials she had just sensed beneath the ground.

But Anastasia was not in a rush to collect the herbs or materials just yet and decided to explore the grassy plain further, hoping to find something that would give her a clue about the nature of this place.

As she searched, Anastasia eventually came across a stone platform situated on a small island in the middle of a pond.

When she landed in front of the stone platform, she was stunned because atop the platform, was the same formation that had transported her here.

Anastasia stared at the formation for a long moment, her mind racing as she recalled everything she had felt when she first saw the formation at the sea bottom and after piecing together the clues, a realization dawned on her.

“So, the reason there are Violet Soul Nourishing Flowers here—flowers that have long since gone extinct in Utopia—is because this place isn’t Utopia at all. This is a secret realm, much like the Tomb of the Ancient,” She muttered, looking around with new understanding.

“If I’m not wrong, this place must have been created by someone with an extremely high level of understanding of the laws of space and if I want to leave, I will have to use this formation.”

As Anastasia reached this conclusion, a look of confusion crossed her face, making her curious about the person who created this place. And more importantly, how did Evan know about it?

“The strangest thing is the laws of this place. Even though I am certain this place was created by someone, I can still feel all the laws here as clearly as I would in Utopia. It doesn’t feel like a secret realm at all, but more like a natural part of Utopia.”

As Anastasia was feeling amazed because of the nature of the secret realm, she suddenly sensed a huge disturbance in the World Essence and turned her head, looking in the opposite direction of the stone platform where the formation was located.

As Anastasia turned her head, she saw the clouds in the distance churning violently, and a wave of light blue energy surged outward like a tsunami, covering everything in its path.

The sight of the energy wave was breathtaking, and though it moved with unstoppable force, Anastasia didn’t sense any danger from it. Instead, her eyes widened in shock because she recognised what was causing the energy wave.

“World Essence…” She whispered, her voice barely audible as she watched the vast expanse of energy spreading in all directions.

Even for Anastasia, it was the first time she had witnessed such an immense amount of World Essence gathered in one place, so dense that it became visible to the naked eye, which really shocked her.

“What on earth is happening over there?” She muttered, her mind racing as she tried to understand what could be causing such a phenomenon.

Seeing the World Essence was still churning there, without wasting any more time, she took off, flying directly toward the epicentre of the energy wave.

As she approached, the density of the World Essence in the air increased dramatically.

Soon, the energy reached a point where it began to condense into liquid form, falling from the sky like a torrential downpour.

“This is insane,” Anastasia said under her breath. The sight of World Essence turning into liquid and raining down from the sky was beyond anything she had ever imagined.

Flying through the cascade of liquid World Essence, Anastasia crossed tens of thousands of kilometres in mere moments and finally arrived at the source of the disturbance: a colossal waterfall that reached the very sky itself.

The moment Anastasia laid eyes on the towering waterfall, she halted in midair, her breath catching in her throat, her body frozen in disbelief.

“Uni-Universal Spring!”
