Chapter 106 - The Crownless Prince (1/2)

As Jean was fighting against the impossible, Fen Juechen already arrived at Black Fiend Nation.

It was a land where even the light of the sun had some problems with piercing through the gray and dense fog.

The wind blew up incessantly, making sounds that bore similarity to the cry of ghosts.

The fog that was extremely loaded with Darkness Profound Energy should have killed Fen Juechen dozens of times by now, but even he didn't have any idea about what is saving him.

Was it his determination to gain enough power to win against the Demonic Cultivator who destroyed his family and home?

Was it the knowledge of the existence of an irregularity such as Jean, and the wish to surpass him?

Was it to hold high the honor of the Burning Heaven Clan even after its disappearance?

Or was it his own greed and power-thirsty himself that kept walking in this wretched land?

He didn't have any idea, but since he could still walk, even if with fatigue, then he will take advantage of whatever is keeping him alive and reach the place that the black key on his hand is pointing to.

Fen Juechen knew it, he was near…

He was climbing a small hill with the remaining strength on his legs, the Darkness Energy was deteriorating his body to levels that he didn't even have any idea about what is happening.

Hours passed quickly and he reached the extremity of the hill. There was  huge jade coffin with an eerie black fog moving around inside it.

”So you have at last arrived… This king has waited a very long time for you.”

The black fog inside the jade coffin suddenly started to sway, and an eerie voice rang out in Fen Juechen's mind.

With surprise, Fen Juechen let out his voice. ”Who are you?”

He expected a treasure here, something that could help him. Not a soul trapped inside a coffin.

”This king, is the very person you're looking for! And you, are precisely the one this king has been waiting for! Use the key in your hand to open this shackle that has sealed my soul. This king shall bestow upon you supreme power as your reward!”

If there was a thing Fen Juechen learned from his journey and Jean, then it was to not trust people that look like they would offer candies to random children.

He didn't have an idea about the meaning of this sentence, but he felt that this description fit the trapped soul.

”Why should i even believe you?”

”You don't have any choice, you probably didn't notice it yet, but the Dark Profound Energy in the area is corrupting your body to a point of no return. Unless I merge with you, not even a God can save you.

My eternal hatred will merge with your infinite determination, creating a duality that will exponentially increase your power to an unimaginable level.

This king is just a leftover damaged soul now, so if you want power, it's necessary to draw support from your body! If this king gets released, there is nothing but infinite benefits for you. Otherwise, if you go on like this, you could only desperately wait to meet your death!”

With a trembling hand holding the key, Fen Juechen gazed at the jade coffin. If what he said was true, then he had only 2 choices.

Gambling his life, or die…

Cang Yue was already doing her best to save the Blue Wind Empire, Jean was doing his best against whatever the glitched entity did to him.

What sort of person is he if he didn't his best while his friends were doing everything?

He let go of the black key, which fell on the Soul Sealing Coffin. In the blink of an eye, mist sprang up from every part of the Soul Sealing Coffin, and rays of light flashed for a brief moment from a formation, before disappearing without a trace.
