Chapter 398: Slaughter and Despair
Three high-tier Calamity Spirit Pearls, 210 low-tier Calamity Spirit Pearls.
The low-tier Calamity Spirit Pearls were first crushed by Xia Feng, and the sweet gray flow, like surging rivers, poured madly into his heart.
[Repair Progress: 6.4731%]
The refined Calamity Spirit Fluid stimulated his pleasure nerves, and the progress increased.
[7.7919%]
[8.2019%]
The further it progressed, the higher the repair difficulty of the Calamity Demon Heart became, with each percentage point requiring more Calamity Spirit Fluid. The repair effect of low-tier Calamity Spirit Pearls was thus reduced, but high-tier Calamity Spirit Pearls seemed to have not weakened at all.
With the disintegration of the three high-tier Calamity Spirit Pearls, the pleasure from the impact of the calamity flow surged, and Xia Feng even inexplicably felt a sense of satisfying fullness, with progress soaring!!
[9.8911%]
[10.3010%]
[Calamity Demon Heart Repair Progress: 12.7016%]
[Reached 10%, activating Third-stage Demonic Energy: Undying Spirit]
[Effect: Conceptual immortality, infinite resurrection. When you die, your spirit will be reborn in the ‘Nightmare River’, and your body will be reshaped in the ‘Nightmare River’.]
[Note 1: The current conceptual status of the Calamity Demon Heart is Nine-Eyed level. Deaths resulting from anything below Nine-Eyed, or from non-Alpha-class Spirit Artifacts, can be nullified by the Calamity Demon Heart.]
[Note 2: Unlimited resurrection attempts.]
[Note 3: Resurrection speed is limited, ranging from 3 seconds to 3 months. Consuming Calamity Demon Heart repair progress can accelerate resurrection speed, with the fastest being 3 seconds.]
[Note 4: The resurrection ability will disappear only when the repair progress reaches zero. Reaching 10% allows for reactivation.]
[Note 5]
A massive Information Stream poured into his mind. Xia Feng excitedly received it, exclaiming how awesome it was.
[Detected 1 curse -]
[Holy Ministry · Death Decree]
[Status: Eighth-stage (Eight-Eyed), S-grade]
Good heavens, since its status was higher than the Death Decree, Xia Feng couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. The panic caused by the Vermilion Bird Demonic Armor being disabled subsided at this moment.
The Vermilion Bird Demonic Armor could only resurrect once, but the Calamity Demon Heart could resurrect infinitely.
The only drawback was that its resurrection speed was far slower than the Vermilion Bird Demonic Armor. It required consuming repair progress to accelerate, but fortunately, the percentage required was not much.
In this way, in the future, after the curse on the Vermilion Bird Demonic Armor was lifted, he could use it to resurrect first in battle, with the Undying Spirit serving as the ultimate trump card.
“Damn it, what is that?”
In the military command center on the high platform, a group of officers stared at the scene outside, their eyes widening.
The K-Masked Man floated in the air, spreading his arms, and within three seconds, all the surrounding Calamity Spirit Pearls darted to his side, turning into dust and disappearing into his rustling black robe.
It was like an abyssal vortex, and the Covered the sky and calamity force barrier was instantly devoured and dispersed, leaving no trace.
The commander, addressed as Sir Hai, couldn’t help but break out in a dense sweat, his expression grim. He was completely dazed, wondering what kind of outrageous abilities these were!
Looking at the Spirit Pressure status, he was clearly only a Tier 5 Spirit Master, yet he could withstand such a terrifying amount of calamity force. Even if a Great Calamity from the Nightmare Clan arrived, it couldn’t achieve this!
“Sir Hai? Sir Hai!”
He was jolted back to reality by the panicked shouts of his subordinates, his gaze deepening: “Activate A-class defense, gather all combat personnel in the military area, and assemble towards the core area!”
“Yes!”

Core area.
Ye Li H stood in an ocean of shimmering starlight. The complex structures formed by the Spirit Particle light flow around him were the external manifestation of his Spirit Pressure.
These Spirit Particle structures were constantly changing, evolving the Spirit Particle structure of ‘A-class Spirit Robe · Scarlet Lord’. He was currently integrating this A-class Spirit Robe into his Spirit Base to condense his first Origin Fruit Position.
However, his progress seemed to be delayed, as if he were waiting for something.
Just then, a subordinate’s urgent transmission reached his ears, sounding somewhat uneasy: “City Lord! The K-Masked Man destroyed the Calamity Force barrier!”
Ye Li H couldn’t help but pause for a moment, looking north. Indeed, the gray flow in the sky was gone, and the oppressive aura of calamity force had also quietly disappeared.
“What happened?” Ye Li H frowned slightly.
“The K-Masked Man’s abilities are eerie. He devoured all the Calamity Spirit Pearls. We haven’t been able to determine what method he used,” the subordinate quickly replied in a deep voice.
“…”
This truly exceeded Ye Li H’s expectations. In fact, when Yin Shi came to Dong Sheng Fortress before, he had warned that the abilities of these two Masked Men were peculiar and that he should remain vigilant to avoid being caught off guard.
He naturally knew that various strange methods existed in this world, so he had maintained extreme vigilance and made many preparations in advance.
But it seemed that the enemy was more formidable than he had imagined.
However, it wasn’t a big deal. While the K-Masked Man’s methods were eerie, he was, after all, just one person. Faced with the absolute military strength of Dong Sheng Fortress, he was like an ant trying to shake a tree.

“Human, you’d best give this Venerable One a satisfactory answer.” Not far away, in the black bead, the Blood Pupil narrowed, and a hoarse voice spoke indifferently, “The Calamity Spirit Pearls were all taken by the K-Masked Man. What do you intend to pay the reward with? Your life?”
Ye Li H glanced at the Blood Pupil and ignored the contempt and coldness in its words, smiling gently, “Venerable Shou Ling, please remain calm.”
“Your Excellency, as a Great Calamity, you should know better than I. Such a vast amount of calamity force contained within these Calamity Spirit Pearls will not disappear so easily. The K-Masked Man likely used some method to temporarily seal these Calamity Spirit Pearls.”
“Therefore, all we need to do now is capture the K-Masked Man. What do you say, Venerable Shou Ling?”
Shou Ling’s Blood Pupil flickered, and it said nothing more.
“If Venerable Shou Ling has no objections, please expedite the city-slaughtering progress.”
Just as Dong Sheng Fortress descended into chaos.
Helyan City, C District.
On the horizon, the silhouettes of skyscrapers appeared twisted and eerie in the evening glow. The pulse of the city, the past hustle and bustle, was now replaced by the wails of the entire city.
The neon lights on street corners were still on, but their glow seemed pale and weak. People were fleeing in terror everywhere on the streets and buildings.
Buildings collapsed, and strangely shaped Nightmare Beasts roared and rampaged, leaping excitedly among the buildings, reveling in their hunt.
Wrecked cars crashed into each other, forming long queues, their horns blaring incessantly.
Screams and explosions intertwined to create a chaotic atmosphere, and people were submerged in despair and fear.
The only ancient clock tower that stood unyielding echoed the evening bell. The stone statue of the City Lord atop the clock tower stood majestically, its gentle smile overlooking the land, like a god protecting this district.
*Riiip—*
Purple lightning streaked across the sky.
Screams and maniacal laughter, roars and laments. People in hell either fled in terror, resignedly awaited death, or prostrated themselves before the City Lord’s clock tower in a daze, seeking divine protection.
As the death toll rapidly increased, Ye Li H could clearly feel his thoughts becoming sharper, and his delayed Spirit Pressure state and Spirit Particle structure began to operate automatically.
His understanding of the A-class Spirit Robe became more profound, and his Spirit Base beneath the Spirit Particle coverage began to sublimate. A seed sprouted and grew in the depths of his Mental Sea, gradually taking the shape of a tree.
A ball of light, representing the Origin Fruit Position, gradually condensed on the tree.
Ye Li H’s forehead beaded with sweat, and he said in a deep voice:
“It’s not enough. Have your subordinates kill faster!”
