Infinite Potential System

Chapter 380 Burial Chambers

The interior of the burial chambers was a circular room expanded with Space Magic. William scanned the room with interest, counting the number of coffins that lined the walls.

It's like an ancient morgue... William thought to himself as his count reached a hundred thousand easily. He had only looked at a small fraction of the room, but the indents where the coffins laid were stacked thirty high and extended as far as the eye could see.

"All of our dead that have reached the Nascent Soul Realm and above are buried here, while the rest are buried in another chamber. Two thousand years' worth of history is truly a sight to see, isn't it?" the Monarch smiled at his guest's expressions.

Even if his tour was forced, the Monarch took pride in their burial ceremony, which was held at the end of each month. Then, thousands of corpses would be added to their walls, ranging from every Realm of Cultivation. Of those corpses, roughly a dozen Nascent Soul and above Cultivators would be brought here.

Riyald glowed, but not because of the corpses. Instead, he was focused on the incredibly dense layer of consciousnesses in the environment, which could be absorbed by his current Cultivation Technique. If Riyald spent a few weeks here, he could Ascend right away!

He looked at William, who nodded to confirm that this was his plan all along. Riyald turned once more to face the Monarch, not afraid in the slightest of the consequences of his next words.

"I'm going to absorb some of these souls." he declared.

With William as his backer, Riyald could speak freely, even to the leader of the Dragon Continent. He looked the Monarch directly in the eye as the other party's expression switched from fury to worry and finally to anguish.

William used a Tier 6 Array to seal the movements of the Monarch, then sealed his senses with the Seal Element. No leader would want to see what was about to happen next, and William didn't plan to torture the poor man.

"Go ahead, Master Riyald, but only absorb what you need. Don't go too far." William warned as he made preparations of his own. He hadn't forgotten about the dangers of the Ascended Realms, and he had no plans to let his Master suffer.

I don't know how strong that Duon person is, but there's probably many more like him. I can only hope that Master doesn't meet any of them from the start.

With that, William's Puppets were completely outfitted and ready for a battle in the Ascended Realms, hopefully. He spent two thousand Potential Points to ask the System for a suitable Ascension point for Riyald, then asked the old man to follow behind.

When they were about to leave the burial chamber, Riyald looked behind him and stopped William for a moment.

"What about the Monarch?" Riyald asked.

"Oh right, I forgot about him." William snapped his fingers and unsealed the Monarch, allowing him to move freely again. The Monarch, only able to breathe for five weeks, was suddenly overwhelmed with the urge to use the bathroom, but he was stunned speechless when he sensed the condition of the burial chambers.

It was slight, but the Monarch could tell that roughly two percent of the stored souls had been completely absorbed, which meant...

"We have to go. Thanks for the hospitality!" William waved and started to cast a Space Magic Spell.

Before the Monarch had a chance to speak, William dragged Riyald through a long-distance portal that took them to the western edge of the Dragon Continent. Tears welled up in the Monarch's eyes, realizing what had happened in an instant.

At least I got two Artifacts out of it... The Monarch thought to himself as he reached for his Space Ring.

As he reached for his Space Ring...

His Space Ring...

"Where the hell is my Space Ring!"
