Chapter 419
Miss Mu, what kind of spirit robe is this?
The Cursed Spirit Nightmare God’s Curse was supposed to trigger automatically and lock onto its target upon his death.
However, he had resurrected, or rather, within this stasis time called the Nightmare River, he was in an intermediate state between death and resurrection.
Under normal circumstances, this curse would randomly select an unlucky victim.
But now, he could actively choose to trigger it. Additionally, since there were multiple people who killed him, he could also designate this curse to target a specific individual.
As for who would become the host for the Eight-eyed Nightmare God.
Tian Yuan and Oberon were temporarily excluded. The remaining Ye Li Dongjun and Uphiel presented a dilemma.
However, Xia Feng quickly made his decision.
While having Uphiel become the host might be better, this birdman with wings was a powerful Sage, just one step away from godhood. It was hard to guarantee that he wouldn’t possess strange methods that Xia Feng couldn’t comprehend.
Although Ye Li Dongjun’s strength was also considerable, his status was still at the Venerable realm, a hundred thousand miles away from godhood. It was highly unlikely he could resist the curse of an Eight-eyed Nightmare God.
Of course, the most crucial point was that compared to Uphiel, Xia Feng’s hatred for Ye Li Dongjun was much deeper. out of sheer malicious hobby, he wanted to see what Ye Li Dongjun would do under the torment of the Eight-eyed Nightmare God.
With that thought, Xia Feng hesitated no further.
[Killer: Ye Li Dongjun]
[Eight-eyed Nightmare God is selecting this host—]
The curse would only take effect after Xia Feng left the Nightmare Realm and was fully resurrected.
Seeing this, Xia Feng paid it no further mind and continued to observe his own condition.
His current body was composed of a fiery white color. It was neither flesh nor soul. He couldn’t comprehend his own existence, but he could sense that it would take two more months to fully resurrect.
This was the only drawback of the Undying Spirit.
[Resurrection speed is limited, 3 seconds to 3 months. Consuming Calamity Demon Hearts to repair progress can accelerate resurrection speed, with the fastest being 3 seconds.]
According to Xia Feng’s estimation, for every 1% of repair progress consumed, he could accelerate his resurrection time by 45 days. 60 days would consume 1.33%, and 90 days would require 2%.
[Calamity Demon Heart Repair Progress: 12.7016%]
Although the consumption was acceptable, Xia Feng was unwilling to waste repair progress on accelerating his resurrection.
Two months was nothing; he could wait.
After all, just these 12% had exhausted him greatly, and he didn’t know if he would encounter a Dong Sheng Fortress with such a large store of high-grade Calamity Spirit Pearls in the future.
[Fourth Demonic Energy · Lord of the Calamity Realm — Required Progress — 40%]
Perhaps due to being in the Nightmare River, Xia Feng could sense the Calamity Demon Heart’s unusual activity, with various pieces of information flooding into his mind. Among them was this information cluster that greatly surprised him.
According to the information, Demonic Energy · Lord of the Calamity Realm would allow him to construct his own rule-based calamity realm, similar to a Great Calamity, to kill enemies!
This seemed pretty awesome, Xia Feng couldn’t help but feel excited.
He followed the Spirit Master cultivation system, but he could possess the exclusive abilities of Calamity Nightmares. Well, he was currently a Divine Half-dragon.
Who could even tell if he was human, a Nightmare, or a dragon now?
However, the frustrating part was that Lord of the Calamity Realm actually required 40% progress to activate. How long would it take to gather that much?
[Detail Information Synchronization Complete—]
Just then, specific synchronization information for this past month began to pour into Xia Feng’s mind. The amount of information was enormous.
[Your death completely enraged Mu Qingtong, and also caused her to taste fear for the first time. Because of this, Mu Qingtong’s thought speed reached another peak, further stimulating her creativity, leading to the upgrade and construction of the fourth underlying rule of the Fate Stone—]
[Mu Qingtong has shallowly comprehended ‘Fate · Fear — 3%’]
[Detected that the Fate Stone is an external divine object and an abnormal state, unable to synchronize with the Fate Stone—]
[To improve her strength faster and better comprehend ‘Fate · Fear’, Mu Qingtong joined the Holy Department of District 19, entering various calamity realms and cult gathering places for relentless slaughter—]
[A total of 2093 One-eyed Half-Calamities (failed Calamity Transformations), 1087 One-eyed Two-eyed Nightmares, 78 Three-eyed Half-Calamities, 29 Four-eyed Nightmares, 5 Five-eyed Nightmares were killed, accumulating 20,500t of pain, and under the effect of ‘Fate · Tyranny’, converting into 2050 points of Strength value increase.]
[Current Strength Value: 8320]
Under normal circumstances, the Strength value attribute for the True Martial Second Realm would be at most 5000. Upon promotion to Venerable, the Strength value would soar to over 20,000.
There was a significant gap between 5000 and 20,000, which was why a Venerable could crush several True Martial Second Realm experts with their physical body alone.
However, judging by Miss Mu’s monster-slaying speed, her Strength value would reach the Venerable realm within a few months. If she could promote to Venerable, her Strength value would continue to double on this foundation, rapidly becoming powerful.
Moreover, if she could kill a few high-quality Six-eyed Nightmares, the speed of her ascension could be even faster.
[Through the dissection of the physical structures of numerous humans and Nightmare Clan members, Mu Qingtong gained further understanding of combat techniques, and you comprehended the combat technique · Yi Quan.]
[Yi Quan: When the Strength value reaches 10,000, your fist attacks will possess a ‘3% Spirit-piercing True Damage’ effect.]
Although this Yi Quan was not as powerful as the Dragon Clan Spirit Robe · Zhi Ji Quan, it appeared to be a very good combat technique based on its effect.
[In the Sea Si Calamity Realm, Mu Qingtong was pursued by a clansman of the Ye Li Clan. After killing this clansman, she seized all his treasures. Glancing at a B-grade spirit paper among them, she accidentally learned this spirit robe after a moment of thought. You comprehended the B-grade Spirit Robe · Xing Yi Hua Shui.]
[B · Xing Yi Hua Shui: You can transform your physical body and soul into water, allowing you to flow and possess a concealment effect for your aura.]
Besides the B-grade Spirit Robe, there were 34 D-grade spirit robes with auxiliary functions, 8 C-grade spirit robes, and a large collection of strange spirit materials.
Honestly, the sheer volume of things Mu Qingtong had accomplished this past month was beyond Xia Feng’s imagination. He suspected the woman hadn’t slept at all, constantly either fighting, learning, or researching the Fate Stone.
Her Spirit Pressure state also rapidly broke through to the True Martial First Realm.
Xia Feng could only exclaim, “Good heavens, after just one night of sleep, my strength has increased by a huge margin out of thin air.”
He suddenly felt that he could completely relax and stay in the Nightmare River for three to four years. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to come out after Mu Qingtong became a god?
However, unfortunately, once the three-month resurrection period was up, whether he wanted to or not, he would be resurrected and forcibly removed from the Nightmare River.
All he could say was that this Nightmare River was utterly inhuman. Leaving early cost money, but delaying leaving was not allowed.
Time flowed slowly. After finishing the synchronization records for the past month, Xia Feng suddenly felt a sense of regret. He had read them too quickly. Wouldn’t the next two months be incredibly boring for him?
It would be fine if he had a phone or a computer, but here, besides his clump of humanoid light, there was only darkness all around. If he stayed here too long, he suspected he would develop depression.
Three days passed quietly. Just as Xia Feng was bored and contemplating self-annihilation by knocking himself out to sleep, Mu Qingtong’s actions in the synchronization information caught his attention.
[Entering the Hanzō Forest, Mu Qingtong followed the clues, killing enemies along the way, exterminating the cult · Blood Bone Society, and finding the treasure and numerous spirit robes left by the Blood Bone Society deep in the forest. You comprehended the B-grade Spirit Robe · Blood Bone Tracking Technique.]
[Mu Qingtong returned to the Bronze Tower Laboratory and attempted to cast the Blood Bone Tracking Technique on ‘Xia Feng’s skull’ to track your location. After more than ten failed attempts, Mu Qingtong concluded that the problem likely lay with the Blood Bone Tracking Technique itself. Thus, she began to ponder and optimize the spirit particle structure of the Blood Bone Tracking Technique—]
[You comprehended the B-grade Spirit Robe · Azure Bone Tracking Technique.]
[Qingtong Production, Must Be Quality Goods]
[Tracking: This is a tracking-type spirit robe researched by Mu Qingtong specifically for a certain ‘male human’ with the surname Xia. It can track and locate based on the bones of that ‘male human’.]
[Azure Bone: After learning this spirit robe, the bones of that ‘male human’ will become your eyes, providing you with vision.]
[Restriction: To learn this spirit robe, one needs to have engaged in intimate yin-yang union with that ‘male human’ and possess a large amount of his yang energy.]
Xia Feng: “…”
Miss Mu, do you know that my mother tongue is speechless! What kind of spirit robe is this?!
[Mu Qingtong began to cast the Azure Bone Tracking Technique on you. Ten attempts still ended in failure. She believed this might be due to the distance limitation of the tracking technique, so she continued to improve it.]
The following long string of information was all about Mu Qingtong’s efforts to overcome the tracking technique, consuming more time than learning an A-class spirit robe, yet she still could not track Xia Feng.
Xia Feng pursed his lips, silently observing all of this, but a flash of inspiration struck his mind.
He suddenly realized that he wouldn’t get depression for these two months.
Mu Qingtong couldn’t project her vision onto him using the tracking technique, but he could use the Azure Bone Tracking Technique to project his vision onto his own skull!
—And thus, see Mu Qingtong!
