Chapter 158 - Chapter 158: Chapter 151: Ritual: Execution of Sins (2/2)
He certainly couldn’t exchange the violet-red stone, so he decided to offer the high-order cultivation inheritance he had traded from the “Moon River Stone.”
“I wish to offer it.”
It was an extremely unusual inheritance, appearing to be a scroll glowing with blue light, containing some fascinating text. Byrne dared not open it carelessly for fear that the wisdom and power contained within would tempt people.
“What is this?”
Zayne looked slightly stunned, his face showing a puzzled expression.
“It’s a cultivation inheritance about the power of Bloodline related to the ocean, water, ice, and rivers. It also includes three types of battle skills, strong enough to support an Extraordinary Exponent to break through to the Monarch Level!”
Byrne took a deep breath and slowly finished speaking.
Zayne’s eyes finally lit up. He hadn’t inherited the Frosac family’s most powerful “Wasteland Giant” bloodline; instead, he had the bloodline power of the high-level magic beast “Deep Sea Whale Shark.”
While the family and Tempest Church had marine-related inheritances, such precious things were of course better in greater numbers. Furthermore, he had not yet decided which high-level inheritance to use to break through to the Monarch Level.
Regardless of which high-level inheritance was chosen for cultivation, one must break through the “gateway” to advance to Monarch; only the “gateway” to be breached varied depending on the high-level inheritance chosen.
Having reached the Metamorphosis Phase, they could only successfully enter the “palace” after storming the “gateway,” eventually gaining a domain, and becoming true Extraordinary Monarchs!
“Alright, I agree! Five of them,” Zayne nodded with furrowed brows.
“The Fischer family thanks you for your generosity!”
The deal was finally struck, Byrne let out a sigh of relief, then showed a sincere smile, his inner excitement almost impossible to contain!
How wonderful!
The Fischer family had finally seen the day come, with Chris on the brink of reaching the 4th Rank, becoming a truly powerful Extraordinary Exponent, even capable of contending with those important Viscounts!
“When that time comes, the entire situation facing the Fischer family will change.”
The following afternoon.
The air in Fein City was very humid, with mist slowly starting to spread, a slight moisture gradually dispersing into the air.
Initially like an almost invisible veil, it then progressively thickened and permeated the entire space, with objects in the distance blurring into obscurity, losing their clear outlines.
In the great cathedral of the Tempest Church, Zayne personally led Byrne and Chris down to the damp and dim underground.
The underground, full of candlelight, had many rooms and guards in both light and shadow. Seeing Zayne, they would bow in greeting, their eyes filled with respect and admiration.
As they arrived at the place where the Extraordinary Exponents were detained, the surrounding environment grew darker still, and both Byrne and Chris could even hear the wails and screams of men and women under harsh torture.
Zayne held a candle with a poker face and brought them to a thick iron door, having already ordered the guards to leave in advance.
He looked coldly at Chris and Byrne and said,
“This is the first one, we’d better be quick.”
Zayne didn’t use a key, but instead, transformed his arm into liquid to open the iron door, then ushered the silent Chris inside.
Chris nodded and entered a cell so dark it was almost lightless, quickly seeing a decrepit old man sitting in a corner, filthy and missing a leg.
The man started shouting when he saw Chris, saying, “Hahaha! You dogs of the Tempest Church, our Overlord will not spare you! Even your gods are nothing but food for our Overlords!”
Chris looked intently at the man and slowly asked, “Who is your master?”
The old man in the darkness stared at him coldly for a while, then suddenly chuckled, his voice crazily saying,
“So it is, you’re not from the Tempest Church, and my words interest you very much, showing you have no faith in those cowardly so-called gods… My master is a truly powerful deity, the great otherworldly god of the Chaos Constellation that terrifies mortals!”
Chaos Constellation!
Chris immediately became alert, feeling a very strange eeriness deep inside.
He felt more and more that the old man he had encountered in the mines, supposedly by accident, had actually found him on purpose, then intended to use the power of the “Chaos Constellation” to transform him.
However, because he was under the protection of the great Lord of the Lost, he had not been truly transformed.
“Hehe, confused beast, you certainly want to know…”
The old man wanted to prattle on, his voice like a shadowy serpent, but suddenly, he was stabbed in the heart with a dagger shining with silver light, with blood pouring out rapidly.
Chris looked emotionlessly at the shaking old man as he fell.
The first one.
He could truly feel that the Spirituality deep in his soul was indeed starting to boil, and the intensity was very high, almost reaching the instant of advancing to the 3rd Rank!
Good.
“Next…”
