Chapter 690: Hurry Over

Li An and the other two nodded, all firmly committing the woman's words to memory. They knew that although this woman was mysterious, her words were full of wisdom and power.

Just then, a burst of light suddenly came from the center of the labyrinth. That light was dazzlingly brilliant, as if illuminating the entire labyrinth. Li An and the other two looked at that light, all revealing expressions of surprise. They did not know what that light meant, nor what it would bring them.

However, just at that moment, that light suddenly vanished without a trace. And a massive hollow appeared at the center of the labyrinth. That hollow seemed like a gateway leading to another world, emanating an alluring glow.

"It seems that is the true location of the Void Gate." Lei Nuo gazed at that hollow, a gleam of excitement flashing in his eyes.

Li An also nodded: "That's right. After enduring so many trials, we've finally found the true location of the Void Gate. Now, we only need to pass through this gateway, and we can reach another world."

Guo Yao also revealed anticipation: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry over!"

The distant flute melody was melodious and mysterious, as if carrying some unknown summons. Li An and the others advanced in the direction of the sound, every step filled with vigilance and anticipation. They knew that the source of that flute melody was precisely where the Void Core lay.

As they approached, the surrounding scenery began to change. The originally empty Void Land was now covered in strange runes and light, as if it were an ancient and mysterious formation. A suppressive and tense atmosphere permeated the air, inspiring awe.

Just then, a cold and resolute voice suddenly rang out: "Hmph, you've finally come."

Li An and the others looked toward the sound and saw Carlos appear once more with the full force of his power. He wore a suit of black armor, gripped a massive longsword in his hand, and his eyes were filled with longing for the Void Core and cold ruthlessness.

"Carlos, you actually dare to show yourself!" Li An roared angrily, his eyes fixed tightly on Carlos, as if trying to see right through him.

Carlos let out a cold laugh: "Hmph, Li An, you think you can stop me? The Void Core is mine for certain—and you too!"

Saying so, Carlos suddenly swung the longsword in his hand, and a fierce sword gleam instantly swept toward Li An and the others. Li An and the others hurriedly dodged, but the might of that sword gleam made their hearts tremble with fear.

"Everyone be careful, Carlos's attack this time is even more ferocious than before!" Li An loudly warned.

Just then, an innocent and artless voice suddenly rang out: "…Eh, who are you? Why are you fighting here?"

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw a little girl in a white dress appear before them. She had a head of golden long hair and a pair of clear, water-like eyes, looking at them curiously.

"Lilith?" Li An exclaimed in surprise. He remembered that in a previous trial, Lilith had once appeared in the form of the Void Core's avatar.

Lilith nodded, a sweet smile revealed anticipation on her face: "Mm, it's me. Did you come here for the Void Core?"

Li An nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, Lilith. We are here to stop Carlos from seizing the Void Core. If he obtains the power of the Void Core, he will pose a tremendous threat to the entire world."

Hearing this, a worried expression revealed anticipation on Lilith's face: "Oh, is that so. But the power of the Void Core cannot be obtained casually, you know. Only those who truly receive its recognition can possess its power."
