Chapter 421: Oh, Ancient King of Sovereignty, Please Listen to Our Calls
Rare A-class spirit paper · Blood Spirit Throne.
“This looks pretty badass,” Xia Feng thought, his heart’s rhythm beginning to slow.
At the same time, he clearly felt a spirit being born amidst the fiery white, like a newborn fetus, rapidly expanding under the mysterious fiery white power to form a human spirit body.
Immediately afterward, nerves, bones, flesh, skin, hair… a brand new, perfect male body was born in the depths of the Nightmare River.
Before Xia Feng could react, he felt the world spin, as if he were falling into a bottomless abyss.
Darkness surged towards him like a tide. Just as Xia Feng began to feel nervous, new information finally appeared in his mind.
[Selectable Resurrection Location –
1. Nightmare Spirit Realm · Nightmare Tribe
2. Calamity Spirit Sea · Calamity Spirit Tribe
3. Feast Flower Sea · Flower Ghost Tribe
]
There were over a dozen selectable resurrection locations. Xia Feng didn’t hesitate and directly chose the Calamity Spirit Tribe.
Tribes were the form of gathering places unique to the Nightmare Realm.
According to the information he had previously received from the Calamity Demon Heart, there were two types of landing points upon resurrection: 1. an intact Calamity Demon Statue; 2. an intact physical body.
A Calamity Demon Statue, as the name suggested, was a statue of the Calamity Demon. These statues were scattered throughout the Nightmare Realm, and any intact ones could serve as his resurrection site.
As for a physical body, if his soul died but his body remained undestroyed, he could re-manifest in his physical form to resurrect. However, under the Sword of God, his physical body had already been annihilated.
Therefore, for now, he could only descend into the Nightmare Realm and then find a way to return to the Real World.
It was also a good opportunity to accelerate the repair progress of the Calamity Demon Heart. Entering the Nightmare Realm, where the Nightmare Clan resided, was undoubtedly the best choice.
Additionally, there was another scenario: if he had neither an intact physical body nor an intact Calamity Demon Statue, he would resurrect in a mysterious place called the [Gate to the World].
Regarding the [Gate to the World], Xia Feng only knew its name; he couldn’t sense any further information.
[Curse of the Shameful Spirit’s Eight Eyes – Ye Li Dongjun Cursed Successfully]
At the same time, Xia Feng could feel that the time in his frozen Enlightenment Domain had restarted.
His spiritual connection to the Gui Dao blade had also been restored.
[You have met the conditions for death, the Sacred Priest’s Regulation can be consumed. Do you wish to consume this curse?]
Xia Feng would be insane not to consume it. With a thought, he chose to proceed.
[Sacred Priest’s Regulation has been consumed. The Vermilion Bird Demonic Armor’s effect has been restored.]
[Your soul contains four marks: ‘Gong’, ‘Tong’, ‘Si’, and ‘Slave Master’. Do you wish to restore them?]
The Slave Master mark was a slave mark specifically for Cha Nai Xue.
Xia Feng pondered for a moment and chose not to restore them.
If he restored them, these marks would be restored together. However, he did not want the ‘Gong’ divine seal restored. This divine seal, which could locate him and even control his limbs, was something even Miss Evil Dragon couldn’t eliminate. He would use this opportunity to get rid of it.
Escaping from the clutches of the foolish Gong Changyi again! Perfect!
The only issue was Cha Nai Xue. If she harbored any rebellious intentions, it would be troublesome. However, he believed Miss Mu would handle Cha Nai Xue, so he didn’t need to worry too much.
While contemplating, Xia Feng finally landed on solid ground, though the surroundings were still pitch black. The space was cold and damp, and the air was heavy. Through his Bronze Eye of Deconstruction, Xia Feng clearly saw his surroundings. Was he trapped in a cage?
However, before he could ponder further,
Faint humming ripples could be vaguely heard from outside, which seemed to be the Nightmare Clan’s language.
The course ‘Nightmare Clan Language’ was usually offered in the second year, and Xia Feng hadn’t studied it. However, perhaps due to the Calamity Demon Heart, he could understand it perfectly.
A majestic, deep voice came from outside, with a peculiar intonation, but conveying a sense of solemnity and divinity:
“Oh, Ancient King of Sovereignty, please listen to our calls.”
“Your citizens are here… witnessing your resurrection.”
“?” Xia Feng’s heart skipped a beat. “Wait, what does this mean? These Nightmares knew I was going to resurrect here?”
“Something’s not right,” Xia Feng suppressed his surprise, his dark eyes narrowing. He continued to probe outwards with the Eye of Deconstruction, penetrating the special stone walls to the outside.
Only then could he see clearly that beneath the layers of dark stone steps outside, nearly a thousand beings clad in blood-colored armor were prostrating themselves.
They had humanoid appearances like black-furred apes, each at least two meters tall. A silver-white horn protruded from the center of their foreheads. Their protruding mouths and velvety faces had varying numbers of blood-red eyes – one, two… some even had five.
They were densely packed, prostrating in an orderly fashion in a vast black plaza. The sky was a dull gray. Only eighteen pairs of sacrificial furnaces on both sides of the long steps burned with eerie white flames, stretching all the way to the end of the black steps.
At the end stood an eye, a full thirty meters high!
However, it wasn’t a real eye but an eye sculpture constructed from special stone. The surface of the sculpture was as dark as an abyss, while the central pupil was a pair of scarlet double pupils, one large and one small, resembling the true eyes of a god. It stood majestically, looking down indifferently upon the land.
“! ”
This must be the Calamity Demon’s statue, Xia Feng realized. He was currently inside this eye sculpture.
Directly beneath the eye sculpture, two elderly Calamity Spirit Clan members were also prostrating. They each had six blood-red eyes, and as their pupils rippled, they collectively chanted in ancient, deep tones.
The translated meaning was praise for the greatness and immortality of the Ancient King of Sovereignty, a request for the Ancient King’s resurrection, and a plea for him to lead the Calamity Spirit Clan back to prosperity and ascend to the supreme position, blah blah blah…
Xia Feng watched this scene thoughtfully and quickly understood.
These Calamity Spirit Clan members didn’t know the Calamity Demon would resurrect; they were merely performing their prayer ritual as usual today.
It was like a customary sacrificial festival. On this day of sacrifice, the Calamity Spirit Clan would gather here to pray for the Ancient King of Sovereignty’s resurrection.
Understanding this, Xia Feng breathed a sigh of relief. There were two six-eyed Nightmares outside. If he had to face them directly, it would be quite difficult.
However, he couldn’t just sit and wait for death.
Now, there were only two ways to be safe: either wait for the sacrifice to end and sneak out of this tribe, or… stage a Calamity Demon resurrection and borrow its might.
But borrowing the tiger’s might carried immense risk. If his act was seen through, it would be over. He would have to die again, return to the Nightmare Realm, and be confined to a small dark room for three months.
Although he could sneak peeks, eh, observe Miss Mu’s daily life, it was ultimately rather boring.
While contemplating, Xia Feng looked at the surrounding stone walls. He quietly took a few steps forward to touch them, using the Eye of Deconstruction to carefully examine the composition and structure of the stone walls.
After a while, he determined that these stone walls contained not only Boundless Stone but also a large amount of Spirit-Nullifying Stone.
One of the functions of Spirit-Nullifying Stone was to isolate detection. Buildings constructed with it possessed the ability to isolate spirit particle reactions, calamity force reactions, life auras, sound, and light.
The Calamity Demon Statue was mostly composed of Spirit-Nullifying Stone.
With this in mind, Xia Feng did not hesitate and began to set up the formation for the [Gate to the World].
Whether he was going to sneak away or borrow the tiger’s might, he needed a powerful trump card as support.
Therefore, he would go into the Evil Dragon Space first to bring out Miss Evil Dragon’s incarnation. This would give him an additional trump card.
