Chapter 490: Witch Appears

"It should be this Spirit Realm."

In the ancient route node, Lu Xun had gone through several Spirit Realms and finally found one somewhat similar to the Star Gate's location.

This Spirit Realm is boundless, with no boundaries and no clear rating.

The Spirit Realm is extraordinarily vast, spanning several star systems.

Fortunately Lu Xun obtained a warp-speed vessel; otherwise, an ordinary craft flying from one end of this Spirit Realm to the other would take several years.

At the warp-speed vessel's speed, it naturally wouldn't take that long.

Lu Xun searched for the Star Gate while exploring this Spirit Realm.

"She's here too?"

As he searched, he still hadn't found the Star Gate, but Lu Xun unexpectedly encountered an acquaintance.

Lu Xueqi.

Lu Xueqi was acting alone this time.

Lu Xun guessed that she had come out to train after a breakthrough in her cultivation.

The Chaos Lotus brought great benefits to Lu Xueqi, not only letting her complete the upgrade of her Glazed Pure Body but also directly raising her cultivation by one level.

Lu Xun had come this time for the Star Gate and didn't want complications.

Seeing that Lu Xueqi was in no danger, Lu Xun didn't disturb her but quietly slipped past her and continued searching for the Star Gate.

In the Devil God Reincarnation Event, the memory fragments obtained from that evil will were useful.

Lu Xun followed some reference points all the way there.

"I found you."

Ten days later.

On a huge asteroid in the middle of an asteroid belt, Lu Xun found a towering gate.

This gate was exactly the same as the Star Gate in the memory fragments.

It was about ten zhang tall, made of a bronze-like material, and shaped like an arched gate.

It simply stood there calmly, appearing to have nothing special about it.

Lu Xun moved his body and landed in front of the Star Gate, examining it closely.

The inscriptions on the Star Gate were an extraordinarily ancient script.

They were so ancient that Lu Xun didn't recognize them at all.

These characters ingeniously merged with the gate's spirit patterns, together forming the Star Gate's entire design.

These patterns are no small matter; they relate to the operation of Dark Energy.

"That should be it."

After careful observation, Lu Xun basically confirmed that this was the Star Gate.

The way to use the Star Gate needs to be figured out on one's own.

It should be quite simple.

Injecting Dark Energy is the first step.

After injecting Dark Energy, the Star Gate can be activated.

Ten thousand units of Dark Energy is an astronomical figure for others, but for Lu Xun now it's nothing.

Lu Xun took out the Dark Energy, about to pay attention, when he suddenly sensed something.

"Who?"

He abruptly turned his head and looked around.

"Hehehe~"

A strange laugh rang out.

Yet no figure was seen.

"Stop playing tricks and come out."

Lu Xun said in a deep voice.

"You hid so well, yet you were found by you, hehehe. Though I'm still one step ahead, knowing you'd definitely come here—I didn't expect you to have gotten that cat, which saves me a lot of trouble."

Accompanied by a hoarse voice, a woman in a black dress, wearing a round-brimmed black hat, and with a black rose pinned to her chest walked out.

The woman had a seductive figure, but wore a mask that could block spiritual sense probing, making her appearance unclear.

"Who are you?"

Lu Xun felt a surge of wariness.

Her aura was concealed, seeming like an ordinary person.

Someone who could appear here—how could they be ordinary?

"Hehe."

The rose on the woman's chest suddenly emitted an eerie giggle.

"You don't need to know who I am; hand over that cat, and I'll give you a quick death without turning you into some strange thing."

The rose continued to speak in a peculiarly strange voice.

A flower, yet it opened its mouth to speak.

This is not uncommon on Yao Xing.

However, the flower demons of Yao Xing could only communicate through thought before taking human form.

This rose, however, had truly opened its mouth to speak.

Just looking at this scene seems utterly absurd.

Cat!

Lu Xun immediately knew.

This woman.

Must be that witch.

The other side actually also found the location of the Star Gate, and then blocked him here.

Good grief, how did the other side know Lu Xun would definitely come here?

That's right,

Barbara can't hold on much longer.

From the witch's perspective, Barbara not only had to escape, but also had to flee far away, with no other choice.

And to escape this ancient road node without getting lost, the only good choice is the Star Gate.

So, she waited here, waiting for Barbara to walk into the trap.

As it turned out, she really guessed right.
