Chapter 648: Seven arts of the God of Death and Multicolored Divine Light (III) (2/2)

……

Time passed, minutes after minutes. Six hours, seven hours, eight hours, nine hours… Twelve hours.

When no less than twelve hours had passed, the group started to become get anxious. How much longer would this last?

Bur right because of this, they couldn’t help but secretly admire Cai’er. After each of them recovered fully, the assimilation of the multicolored light stopped immediately. The already deceased Long Haochen aside, Cai’er certainly made it back alive after this battle, yet this multicolored light soaked her for a whole twelve hours, which was not even enough for her to recover entirely. From this one could see the terror of the backlash from the seven arts of the God of Death.

As everyone started to grow more and more worried, the multicolored light in the sky suddenly dimmed down, vanishing slowly.

Cai’er opened both her eyes as this multicolored radiance disappeared from sight.

“Cai’er!” Everyone immediately rushed to her in excitement. Sima took Long Haochen’s corpse in his arms before running to join Cai’er’s side.

,

Chen Ying’er grabbed Cai’er’s arm, attentively watching her face, “How are you, Cai’er? So the backlash of your seven arts of the God of Death was...”

Cai’er showed a faint smile, “I didn’t expect my backlash to actually disappear. It seemed to get counteracted by the ability of this Tower of Eternity.”

“That’s great!” Chen Ying’er immediately shouted in joy. They all knew that upon reaching the sixth of the seven arts of the God of Death, Cai’er’s backlash would very possibly persist for several years, and some part of her may not ever recover again.

As everyone was soaked in joy, Cai’er’s chest suddenly lit up.

This phenomenon was not the same as the previous multicolored radiance: through Cai’er’s clothes, the skull shaped pendant started to make noises.

The necklace binding it disappeared in the midst of a brilliant light.

That golden skull slowly floated above Cai’er’s head, its small eyes suddenly lighting up. Two tiny but extremely brilliant golden flames pulsed up. Suddenly, the two lights inside its eyes shot like two needles toward the end of the sixth floor.

Everywhere the golden light passed, the originally hazy-looking sixth floor was lit up, and at its end, another sculpture of Elux came into view.

This sculpture was entirely gold colored, with only the heart’s spot colored black. From the point of view of the group, a black flame seemed to ascend above it.

A brilliant body, even with a dead heart soaked in darkness. Maybe this was the truest portrayal of the Slumbering Calamity Elux. Compared to the sculpture of the fifth floor, this one faintly gave out a much sadder feel.

The rays shot from the eyes of the golden skull coming from the Eternal Melody entered into the eyes of this sculpture of the Slumbering Calamity, and immediately, an intense golden flame ignited in result, as the whole sixth floor was set aflame.

From the outside, a pillar seem to form from these intense golden flames. The death energy that Cai’er had originally cleansed there abruptly became rich, and in the midst of the intense death energy appeared countless departed spirits filled with negative feelings. In such an environment, an incomparably rich light energy arose.

This instant, the concentration of light essence in this sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity even exceeded that of the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon at the time they had found it in the Swamps of Gloom. Only, although the light essence was massive and rich, it was filled with bits of malevolence, completely unlike the peaceful feelings the Divine Snail Shield originally used to let out.

The pairs of massive pillars set to fire, the whole sixth floor became entirely illuminated. An intense golden halation spread out in the sky, and that light energy kept growing in intensity, giving off to Cai’er’s group the feeling of getting soaked in a lake of light essence.

Counting Sima Xian, a total of five light users were present. But they didn’t dare absorb the slightest bit of this rich light essence. This light essence permeated inside an extensive energy of death, giving them unawares strong feelings of rejection.

Only Cai’er preserved a natural expression. As the one chosen by the God of Death, any spectral and death energy around her body would only need a moment before dispersing.

An aged voice suddenly sounded out from all four directions. That was a kind of soul transmission, that Cai’er would be able to hear even after losing all her six senses.

“Welcome to the sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity. The fact you made it here proves that you are strong enough to succeed to me. Step on these last stairs: I will be waiting for you on the seventh floor. You only have to meet me face to face and I will make you my disciple. Otherwise, there will be no connection between the two of us.”

The aged voice did not carry any emotional vibes: if Long Haochen was still alive, he would definitely be able to tell everyone that this voice was exactly the same as the one he had heard the first time he stepped into the Tower of Eternity. The only difference was that it was not as cordial back then, and sounded extremely cold instead.
