Chapter 952: When Wenia Opens Her Eyes
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
In the depths of this part of the universe, a black nebula sought to destroy all.
Oro, who had put on a golden suit of armor, looked impressive while standing among a large number of guardians!
In the battle at the Night Banquet, Oro had displayed the boldness and ferocity of the emperor of the Lionheart Royal Clan. The Guardian faction had taken a liking to him and recruited him.
There had been no problem with the background investigation. Xia Fei’s good friend in the Exiled Grounds, Hyacinth, had assisted in creating a fake identity for Oro. No one had ever cared about the Exiled Grounds, so forging an identity was rather easy. Given Hyacinth’s methods and Oro’s unique ability to cultivate the Demon Race laws despite him being a human, nobody doubted his background.
The golden-armored war gods grimly stood atop a tall sentry tower. In the distance, giant crashes came from that black nebula, like waves beating against the shore or a tiger roaring in the mountains!
*Whoosh whoosh whoosh!*
The golden-armored warriors began to fly toward the nebula, their faces dark. Oro and another group of warriors also seemed rather nervous.
“Young man, don’t be nervous. The Cosmic Gate is always like this. At certain intervals, it will let out soul-shaking booms. Those guys outside the gate are presumably trying to destroy the seal,” said a senior Guardian, patting Oro on the shoulder.
As Oro had recently been reborn, he appeared very young, so everyone treated him like a little brother, which made him feel rather sullen. It must be understood that he was the supreme emperor of the Lionheart Clan, one of the wielders of the Three Lions Imperial Jade Ring. In terms of status and age, everyone here put together could not match him. Alas, this sort of illustrious character was now being treated as some unknown youth. How could Oro not feel terrible?!
Another elder worriedly said, “Yes, at certain intervals, the Cosmic Gate acts strangely, but this strange activity is getting more and more frequent.”
No one said anything, sighing as if they quietly agreed with these words.
Oro was stunned. Whether in this life or the last, this was the first time he had ever been so close to the Cosmic Gate, and it was the first time he was realizing that the Cosmic Gate was weaker than he imagined. The sounds of giant explosions coming from there sounded as if an army of millions were at the gate!
“How long do you think the Cosmic Gate can last?” Oro nervously asked.
The elder shrugged and whispered, “No one can say for sure. Anyway, it’s our duty to guard the Cosmic Gate. if this gate opens, those-that-can’t-be-named will attack, and we can only hold our ground.”
The Guardians were both mysterious and stubborn. They called the Inverse ‘Those-that-cannot-named’ as if it was some taboo. Oro naturally knew about the rules of the Guardians, but he found himself deeply moved by their resolve to guard the Cosmic Gate to the death.
“When can I go to stand guard at the Cosmic Gate?” Oro asked. Although he was closer to the Cosmic Gate than ever before, he still had no chance of seeing that gate physically. He was stuck in the main base of the guardians.
“You?” Everyone looked at their restless little brother and chuckled.
“Do you have the ability to get near the Cosmic Gate? You must have a special ability and be a Great Law Sage or above to stand guard at the Cosmic Gate. You’re still far from that level.”
Oro frowned. The Law of Primal Chaos had enabled him to recover his cultivation quickly, but Great Law Sage was still rather far away. It seemed like it would be very difficult for him to get closer to the Cosmic Gate in a short time.
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
The fearsome tempo started up again, and everyone nervously looked at the black nebula. They would be lying if they said that they were not anxious. All of the Guardians understood that the Cosmic Gate was getting weaker day by day and might fall to the attacks of the Inverse at any moment!
When the sealed gate was opened, calamity would wash over the universe!
*Whoosh!*
Oro’s face turned ashen as he turned and walked away.
“Oro, where are you going?” an elder curiously asked.
Oro’s name was very ordinary, with countless members of the Lionheart Clan alone bearing the name. Thus, he had not changed his name.
“To cultivate,” Oro sternly replied without turning his head.
‘Xia Fei, what are you doing? Hurry up and gather the Immemorial Mystical Armaments! The Cosmic Gate is in an even worse condition than we thought!’ Oro muttered to himself.
…
Oro did not know that Xia Fei had never slacked off, that he was putting in 200% effort to gather the remaining Immemorial Mystical Armaments!
Not even a Dark Race princess and a Law God could hinder his resolve!
*Whoosh whoosh whoosh!*
Countless black snakes suddenly raised their heads and sinisterly stared at Xia Fei!
Xia Fei knew that these were all Dark lifeform monsters. While they were small, they possessed terrifying combat power!
As for Snake Queen Wenia, her eyes were still closed, but her lips kept moving while not making a sound.
“Oh, no! Not only is Wenia a creator of dark illusions, she’s also proficient at controlling beasts!” Radix called.
*Whoosh!
Xia Fei lightly swept his finger across his spatial ring, taking out from it a glass jar that he threw more than a thousand meters into the air!
“Shatter it!”
Xia Fei ordered. Furball instantly understood and spat out a small energy ball, which shattered the glass jar!
*Rumble!*
A blue explosion! Following which, white dust drifted across the landscape! The intense odor made it hard to breathe. Fortunately, Xia Fei’s armor had a filtering function, or else he would have a hard time as well.
“What is this?!” exclaimed Radix in shock.
“A product of the toxic Belladonna and the Five Flower Green Maple! It’s known as the Omnifall!” Xia Fei replied. “Don’t forget! I studied pharmacology!”
Sure enough, Xia Fei’s poison had an astonishing effect. The black snakes were suddenly deprived of strength and no longer listened to Wenia, refusing to move!
‘That couldn’t be! How could the Omnifall have such a powerful effect? Are these monsters not pure Dark lifeforms?’ Xia Fei cried out in his mind.
No matter how strong the poison was, it was designed to deal with exotic beasts. The black snakes were beasts of the Dark lifeform and were not the same as exotic beasts. If Xia Fei’s poison was this effective on them, it could only mean that the Beast Spirit Codex could also work on them!
“Ocular Cognition!
“Mind-burrowing Art!”
*Whoosh!*
Xia Fei’s eyes lit up as he used the power of the complete Beast Spirit Codex!
This was actually the first time he would be using the Beast Spirit Codex after gaining the complete edition!
Something incredible happened. Ocular Cognition carried Xia Fei’s mind-burrowing will and easily took control over a large number of snakes!
It must be understood that the Beast Spirit Codex only worked on exotic beasts, incapable of controlling demon chrysalises and dark monsters. Even when Xia Fei had used the Beast Spirit Codex to tame Holy Beast Shatterstar, it had barely done the job. Fortunately, Furball had grown up with Xia Fei and trusted him, and also he had been very young then, so Xia Fei was able to make it work.
Now, the Beast Spirit Codex was so powerful! After one attempt, Xia Fei discovered that he had long ago gained the ability to control creatures besides exotic beasts. It was just that mental inertia had prevented Xia Fei from even trying, nor had he ever tried to comprehended the miraculous attributes of the complete Beast Spirit Codex!
Of course, using the Beast Spirit Codex to control these dark monsters was still difficult compared to exotic beasts, but at least Xia Fei could do something to them and was not completely helpless! This was major progress!
*Whoosh!*
Snake Queen Wenia scowled, for she was fighting with Xia Fei for control over the thousands of black snakes!
Wenia’s ability to control the monster snakes was a secret technique passed only through the Dark lifeform: Life Share! It was an extremely vicious dark art!
It was easy to see that Wenia’s lower half had become that of a snake. This was because she had used part of her life to sign a contract with the monster snakes. The two of them shared their life force and would never forsake each other.
However, Xia Fei’s Beast Spirit Codex was like a knife, a sharp knife! It had severed the connection between Wenia and the snakes, causing a mess and taking control over part of the snakes!
*Rumble!*
The world fell into chaos!
The snakes that Xia Fei had taken control of began to fight with the snakes that Wenia controlled! It was a chaotic melee! Friend and foe were impossible to distinguish!
*Bang!*
While Xia Fei was focused on dealing with Wenia, the Law God chose the moment to attack!
Although he did not have an Immemorial Mystical Armament or stealth-type divine beast like Gaben, this Law God was fighting together with Wenia. Xia Fei had to deal with both the Law God and Wenia, whose power level was still a mystery, at the same time!
“Seeking death!” Xia Fei furiously roared.
He waved Peacock Blue and Nirvana and once more battled with the Law God, neither side able to overcome the other!
While Xia Fei had the lower cultivation, he had the power of mystical armaments! It was very normal for him to fight evenly with this Law God, but he was still a little lacking to succeed in killing the opponent.
After all, the Law God could rely on his prodigious reaction times to make up for his lack of speed. Whenever Xia Fei made a killing move, the Law God was always able to rely on his experience and reaction time to dodge.
“Awoooo!”
On the other end of the battlefield, Snake Queen Wenia let out a miserable shriek, and she went from a rather good-looking girl into a crazed old lady!
She opened her arms wide as if she were trying to embrace the earth, and a powerful energy surged into the snakes, pushing aside Xia Fei’s mental energy.
Two streams of blood flowed down from Wenia’s closed eyes. It seemed like she was wagering her life in order to take back control over the snakes!
*Rumble!*
The snakes flailed around and began to converge swiftly, the flesh merging and their bones linking!
The pack of snakes had joined together into a single snake!
As this giant snake took form, Wenia also began to grow stronger. This was the advantage of having connected lives. Just like how Xia Fei could use the Delusion Art to share energy with Furball, Wenia could share energy with the snake den!
Xia Fei gnashed his teeth, the interference of the snakes throwing him off his balance. He was in the middle of losing control of the snakes!
Even worse was that this Law God was still fighting to the death with him! He did not have the time to deal with it!
At this moment, Radix shouted in shock, “Look there! Wenia is finally opening her eyes!”
