Wen Yu was not just familiar with the method to crack this mechanism; he was extremely well-versed in it.
Creation Energy surged from his hands as these energies quickly wove together, gradually forming a uniquely shaped seal.
As Wen Yu pressed the seal onto the rune engraving on the armrest, the two instantly fit together. In an instant, the runes on the armrest flickered with light, accompanied by a low humming sound. Moments later, the throne behind him shook abruptly.
At that moment, Wen Yu felt a cold wind brushing against his back, sending chills down his spine. He turned to look back and saw the wall behind him suddenly crack open, revealing three passages.
The entrances of the three passages emitted lights of different colors.
One black, one white, one purple.
Wen Yu did not know what secrets these three passages held. He simply squinted his eyes to sense his surroundings and confirmed there was no danger before standing up and walking towards the middle white passage.
The dim white light illuminated Wen Yu's face as he quickened his pace, and within just a few seconds, he walked through this not-so-long passage.
The scene before him came into view.
What he saw was a myriad of complex and sophisticated experimental instruments!
Upon seeing this, Wen Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The demon lord's laboratory was spacious, simply decorated, and well-lit, but the experimental equipment inside was remarkably advanced—describing the sophistication of this laboratory as the best in the world would not be an exaggeration.
Many of the experimental instruments were unfamiliar to Wen Yu, things he had never seen or heard of. He approached a rectangular culture dish, and with a wave of his soul power, he quickly understood the function and working principle of this experimental device.
Although Wen Yu had not seen many of these instruments before, his skills and those of the demon lord originated from the same source. In a way, the demon lord could be considered half a mentor to Wen Yu. With Wen Yu's current strength, grasping the workings of these experimental devices would not take much time at all.
This time, Wen Yu finally relaxed completely.
He looked at the dazzling array of experimental instruments, and a genuine smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It wasn't out of love for science—Wen Yu himself did not belong to the category of science enthusiasts—but the appearance of this laboratory indeed helped him solve a tremendous problem.
He did not know how long he would be trapped here; perhaps this time, Wen Yu was facing an eternal seal.
During this long time, he needed to find something to do; otherwise, sitting day in and day out on the throne, playing the role of a mere figurehead, Wen Yu feared he would go insane...
Don't doubt it, this scene might very well happen... The sovereign's silent hall was said to be the most cruel torture chamber in the world by Number Three...
Speaking of that silent hall, it resembled the void realm outside the Temple of the Void Realm quite a bit. He wondered what intrinsic connection the two places shared.
For a moment, Wen Yu stood in the center of the laboratory, letting his thoughts wander. After a while, he shook his head and turned to leave.
There was nothing wrong with the laboratory; he liked it very much. However, he had not forgotten that this laboratory was merely one of the three passages, and he was quite curious about where the other two led.
...
Exiting the white passage, Wen Yu turned sharply to the right.
The right passage emitted a dim black light, but it was not cold at all—instead, it gave off a heavy feeling.
After confirming several times that there was no danger, Wen Yu finally stepped into the passage.
Thick black light gradually enveloped Wen Yu, and from the outside, it appeared as if he had been swallowed by a giant beast the moment he entered the passage, vanishing without a trace in an instant.
Wen Yu himself did not feel anything strange; he simply walked forward, oblivious. Gradually, he began to sense something was off.
