And with a glance, Austin knew that the Queen was very intrigued at the secret of the mysterious well. This made the Queen very
eager to go down and explore it.
Her curiosity was drawn to the surging evil energy coming from the gate at the bottom of the Black Well.
The overflowing evil energy indicated that there must be more of it locked up behind the gate.
The evil energy, however, was highly toxic to human cultivators, but not to the cultivators from the evil shadow race who
specialized in cultivating evil energy. With this in mind, the Queen was confident that this evil energy would not harm her in any
way.
But Austin wanted to impress the Queen so he agreed to go down the well with her. And besides, Austin was not a tad bit afraid of
the overwhelming power of the evil energy, unlike the other human cultivators.
Meanwhile, the Queen prepared for their descent. She then put a stop to her meditation and went down the well with Austin.
By using their spiritual senses, they found their way underground and their path to the gate.
Luckily, nothing out of the ordinary happened to them as they tread the way to the bottom of the well for both of them arrived safe
and sound
The gate was very far from where they started going down. As a matter of fact, it was about a thousand meters deep.
Upon landing on the gate, they had noticed that the evil energy got thicker and grey smoke filled the bottom of the well which
made it very difficult for their vision. Everything was hidden in thick and dense smoke that their eyes were of no use. Instead, they
used their spiritual senses in order for them to perceive what was around them.
"Lettry to open the gate," said the Queen.
She then looked down at the gate with heavy eyes.
"Be careful! | feel special energy waves down here," Austin reminded the Queen.
Austin becworried for he could feel with his spiritual sense a strange and unknown aura that existed in the area.
The two warriors were cautious for they wanted to know what they were dealing with. Immediately, they used their keen spiritual
sense and looked for any strange anomalies around them. And in a matter of moments, both of them sensed special energy
fluctuations located at the bottom of the well.
But both the warriors were still confused as to what it was for the energy wave's identity remained unknown to them.

"Are you ready? If anything goes wrong, run immediately!"
The Queen warned Austin about the impending dangers of their quest as she pushed towards the gate with her beautiful slender
hands.
And in an instant, a strong force of energy cout of her hands which started to react with the gate.
With a deafening creaking sound, the gate panel started to move.
The gate was rusty with two panels. After a long tof erosion, the gate weathered and its original color was now unrecognizable.
It was possible that the gate might have already been forgotten, since it took the Queen so much effort to have it opened.
Austin and the Queen nervously looked as the gate opened slowly.
"Run!" the Queen yelled suddenly.
Her face becwhite and rushed upward as fast as she could.
Austin then hurriedly activated his Demonic Teleportation Skill as he tried to escape as fast as he could.
But all of their efforts were in vain for it was already too late.
Bang!
Just as they used their bodily movement skill to leave the place, a powerful Imprisoning Array formed and blocked their way.
The Imprisoning Array appeared too fast and they had no tto react against it. And now, they had nowhere to go. They were
stuck and now imprisoned in the well.
Suddenly, countless colorful lights danced in the well which brought them amazement.
With the colorful lights, the previously dreadful well becbeautiful and dazzling to anyone who could see it.
"What's happening? Shit. I'm stuck. | can't move."
"Shere."
Austin and the Queen were shocked as they could not move a muscle under all the dazzling colorful lights that shone above them.
They were motionless and stunned as they had nowhere to go.
Even if the Queen's cultivation base was already at the medium stage of Primal Holy Realm, she was still completely imprisoned by
a strange force that couldn't be resisted.
"I think | know why we're stuck. Maybe this is the strange colorful light that can confine the space. I've heard of it before," cried the
Queen.
Austin felt the Queen's worry as he could see the fear in her eyes.
"A colorful light that can confine the space?" Austin asked.
Seeing the Queen already frightened, he becworried, too.
"Yes. These colorful lights are notorious and known to be one of the deadliest from the ancient time. But it is extremely rare that it
only exist in few special spaces.
During the ancient times, skilled array experts collected these colorful lights and refined them into the arrays so that the array
could confine people,"
said the Queen as her voice trembled with fear.
"And there's no known way on how to break it?"
Hearing what the Queen had said, Austin's face paled in horror.
"Even the great masters in the Semi-holy Realm or Holy Realm are not able to escape from that kind of array, let alone us," the
Queen added as she gulped air down her throat.
The once beautiful face of the Queen was now overshadowed by fear.
Austin couldn't help but feel the chills down his spine. 'Even the legendary great master in the Holy Realm was not able to crack
the array. Does that mean that there's no other way out of here?" he said inwardly with desperation.
"Sizzle..."
Suddenly, black flames rose in all directions which trapped the two hostages in a circle.
The black flames appeared to be extremely hot that it could melt and burn anything that it touched.
Austin and the Queen sweated as they felt the scorching heat wave got closer to them.
At that moment, the temperature rose so high that it was unbearable for human beings. Any human who experienced that heat

The flames kept on getting closer to them. At this point, their clothes and hair started to burn due to the intense heat.
The black fire that moved inch by inch closer to them was so frightening that the two were almost at the brink of being burned
alive.
However, Austin was not much afraid of it because of his experiences. As a matter of fact, he had already refined three kinds of
Unearthly Fire in the past.
Austin inhaled deeply and summoned the Scorching Evil Fire and the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire in his body.
Then, the Scorching Evil Fire and the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire sprayed out from his body immediately
The Scorching Evil Fire formed into a red sea of fire while the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire formed into a black fire sea which then
surrounded both Austin and the Queen.
They were both in luck for Austin had his own Unearthly Fire with him that time.
If it hadn't been for Austin's fires, then they would have already been cooked alive.
Austin's lip curled upward for he was satisfied with the performance of his Scorching Evil Fire and the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire.
But unfortunately, his happiness didn't last long.
The black fire kept on fighting. It then gradually penetrated the Scorching Evil Fire and the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire. And with just a
snap, Austin and the Queen were in danger yet again for Austin's fires were not strong enough.
The unknown black fires were so powerful that none of Austin's fires could stop it from spreading even more.
"Damn! We're doomed. It is the Spiritual Flame!
Although we can see it, it still has no substance just like the spiritual sense. And that is why it could not be stopped," the Queen
explained with teary eyes.
The Queen's whole body trembled at the sight of the impenetrable black fires. She was desperate and hopeless as if she had
already seen her death right in front of her eyes.
"The Spiritual Flame?" Austin asked.
He had never heard of that before.
