Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2757

1270: True Identity

Everyone’s heart instantly sank to their knees at his words.

The demon spider’s power was too profound, and even if they tried their best, they stood no chance.

Although the Dream Lord now had the added strength, he seemed to have been imprisoned for too long and was now very weak, clearly lacking much combat power.

“How can we seal her?” Isabella asked hurriedly.

“Normally, this seal requires a nine-star alignment, harnessing the power of heaven and earth at its most extreme to activate the formation. But now, we can’t wait any longer. We can only utilize the bloodline power of our Dream Land to barely activate the formation and suppress the enchantress, waiting for the right time to fully seal her.”

He and Fireworks slashed their fingers, allowing their essence and blood to drip continuously into the crystal ball.

The crystal ball glowed brightly red, and the entire earth began to shake, as if some formation was awakening.

A shriek echoed in the distance, evidently the demon spiders, sensing danger, were approaching at an even faster pace.

“Oh no!” the Dream Lord suddenly exclaimed. Without further ado, he quickly explained, “Activating this formation requires the power of five veins within this special forbidden area. However, due to age, two of these veins have been contaminated, preventing the flow of energy and rendering the formation inoperable.”

“Let’s go!” Zuan declared gravely.

The Dream Lord knew there was no time to waste: “Okay, I’ll use this array disk to teleport you there, and I’ll do my best to buy you some time.”

His ten fingers formed shadows, seemingly activating some ancient array within the forbidden area. The rapidly flashing demon spiders on the screen were suddenly stopped by these arrays.

Each array was broken almost instantly, but the Dream Lord, as the guardian of this area, possessed supreme authority over the forbidden area. He activated arrays one after another, constantly blocking his path.

“Hurry! I can’t escape them for long.” The Dream Lord spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale, and sweat streamed down his forehead like a waterfall.

Yanhua’s eyes were also closed, her face pale. Clearly, her father was frail and needed her to provide more essence and strength to keep the formation running.

Zuan and Isabella wasted no time. A flash of light flashed before their eyes, and they were each transported to a deeper corner of the forbidden area.

Zuan’s eyes revealed a dragon-like earth vein, its power thickening the environment.

Zuan considered using the Di Tian Sui Chan Wei technique to harness its power, greatly increasing his combat power.

However, he quickly dismissed the idea, believing the demon spider had become so powerful that it had lost its sense of strength and weakness, a fact that could not be overcome by mere skill.

He looked up at the distant wall, where a large dark-red mass, like a giant heart, lay.

Pure earth veins were not this color. This must be the contamination the Dream Lord had mentioned.

Just approaching, a mixture of tyranny, murder, and death filled his heart. If Zaun hadn’t experienced countless hardships and possessed an exceptionally strong will, anyone else would have been instantly overwhelmed by this negativity.

He knew the demon spiders would arrive at any moment, so he didn’t waste time, immediately following the Bishop of Dreams’ instructions to purify the demonic energy.

His Hongmeng Yuanshi Sutra, already effective in purifying demonic and deadly energy, made purification a breeze. Soon, the inky black aura began to dissipate, revealing the ruby-colored earth veins within.

Zaun wondered if Isabella was making progress.

But thinking of her treasure bag, capable of producing any magical artifact, he couldn’t help but chuckle. He’d worried too much. Perhaps she was even faster than him.

After successfully purifying the earth veins, Zaun’s gaze suddenly focused. He noticed a disc on the surface of the earth vein, resembling a giant heart, with a keyhole at its center.

A faint glow gradually began to form in his arms. He pulled it out and saw it was the key Arati had given him.

The light from the key cast a shadow on the center of the disc, causing it to glow faintly. Even a fool could tell that this key would unlock the place.

He instinctively brought the key to the disc, but suddenly paused, unsure of what was happening.

Since arriving in this forbidden area, so much had happened, and he always felt something was amiss.

But each time, it was a matter of life and death, leaving him no time to think.

Now, a vague sense of unease welled up in his heart. Although he knew the demon spider would arrive at any moment, he remained motionless.

He had a vague feeling that if he didn’t think things through, he might make a decision he would regret for the rest of his life.

“Little brother, activate this quickly. This will allow the earth veins’ energy to flow properly and the formation to fully function,” the Dream Lord’s voice rang out.

Zuan turned and gazed into the void. “Can you see everything I see now?”

“I’m in control of the forbidden area’s core, so of course I can see. Didn’t you see it just now?” The Dream Lord’s voice was a touch anxious.

Zuan thought of the crystal ball and the surveillance screens everywhere:

“Then why didn’t you tell me that I still needed this key to open it?”

“I didn’t know you had this key, and this is my first time here. Many things have been passed down from generation to generation, and my memories are not very accurate.” The Lord of Dreams’ voice suddenly became a little strange, “Why, you seem to be doubting me?”

Zuan did not answer this question, but continued to ask: “I don’t think I have spoken to Fireworks since just now. Is she okay now?”

At this time, Fireworks’ voice also rang out: “Brother Zu, I was concentrating on running the formation just now and couldn’t be distracted to talk to you.”

“Can we talk now?”

“It was the most difficult when it was first started, but it’s much better now. I think it’s all thanks to Brother Zu for clearing the pollution of the earth veins. Brother Zu, time is running out, you should quickly unlock the power of the earth veins.”

Zuan sighed: “Fireworks, why do you look at me so differently? You seem to have a great liking for me from the first time you saw you. You must know that at that time, in the eyes of others, I was just a bumpkin from a marginal world.”

“Didn’t I tell you I’m a believer in the Goddess of Beauty? The first time I saw you… Oh, Brother Zu, do you really have to make me say this in front of Daddy?” Fireworks’ voice seemed filled with shyness, and one could easily imagine a young girl stamping her feet in shame.

Zuan asked again, “What’s the situation with Isabella now?”

“She has successfully cleaned the pollution in the earth veins over there. You can reunite with her when you come back after you finish.” Fireworks’ voice was a little anxious. “Those formations can’t trap that seductress. There are only ten breaths left. Hurry!”

Zuan still didn’t move, but said softly, “Fireworks… No, should I call you Theodora, or Yani?”
