Chapter 511 - 511: A Request From The Ancient God
Rona’s words were confident and assured. As a divine soul, her perception of soul auras far surpassed that of the transcendent beings in the territory.
Only then did Xu Yuan relax and turn to look around.
In the blood-colored environment, there were only walls and a blurry ceiling. There was nothing else.
Xu Yuan thought for a moment and asked Rona to fly up.
However, she couldn’t fly past the corpse. It was as though she was trapped by something.
Xu Yuan understood. He approached the divine corpse.
Standing at its feet, he had to crane his neck to look at its head.
He gripped the ancient god statue in his hand and slowly placed it on the toes of the giant corpse.
Even if they were not related, it didn’t matter. The only way for the ancient god statue to grow was by devouring powerful flesh and soul energy.
Clearly, this body met the requirements. The moment the ancient god statue touched the divine corpse, Xu Yuan sensed its excitement.
The dim light on the statue flared up like a torch soaked in gasoline. It surged. It expelled the blood-colored light in the space, and the dim light rapidly extended like vines.
After a short while, the giant corpse was enveloped in the statue’s light.
The towering divine corpse in front of them, which had stood here for countless years, gradually melted away in the dim light. It transformed into vast energy that poured into the ancient god statue.
“Your Majesty, the statue is undergoing transformation. Hence, I shall also transform with it,” Rona said excitedly.
Her body shattered and turned into flowing light that merged with the ancient god statue.
With Rona’s integration, the aura emitted by the statue became even more terrifying.
It was like a dragon egg that was hatching. Although it had not completely hatched, one could already sense the aura emanating from the young dragon inside.
Just then, the earth trembled.
Xu Yuan’s heart raced, and he felt uneasy.
Instinctively, he turned to see prominent cracks appearing on the blood-colored walls around him.
He suddenly remembered the previous spire they had explored. After the nest was removed, the spire collapsed!
The divine corpse seemed to be somehow connected to the spire. Devouring the corpse affected the spire.
He didn’t want to be buried alive here. The power of darkness surged madly within him. Sand swirled around him and formed a triangular shield above his head.
Even if something went wrong, he wouldn’t be crushed by the falling debris.
Xu Yuan calmed himself and let the ancient god statue devour the corpse.
It was unimaginable. The old gods, who had fallen during creation, must have possessed tremendous power if they were still alive!
Time quickly passed, and the divine corpse began to corrode with an increasing aura.
The energy inside it finally began to dissipate, and the cracks in the surrounding walls spread rapidly.
At this rate, the spire would completely collapse within half an hour.
The more the ancient god statue devoured the corpse, the stronger its own power became, and the faster it devoured the divine corpse. It was a cycle.
The power of the divine corpse was extremely compatible with that of the ancient god statue.
As the aura of the statue became intense, Xu Yuan realized that it emitted a faintly different aura. It felt like the statue was no longer just a magical item but would come alive at any time.
Xu Yuan was hypervigilant. He focused all his attention on the statue.
If anything unexpected happened, he wouldn’t hesitate to pick up the statue and run outside.
No one could predict what kind of power the ancient gods possessed, but they couldn’t underestimate it.
After all, they were the magnificent beings who ruled at the beginning of creation!
Xu Yuan felt that time was passing incredibly slowly. As the cracks spread on the ground and the walls, he felt impatient.
Suddenly, the divine corpse split open from the abdomen, and large chunks of entrails fell out.
The eye sockets that were originally empty suddenly glowed crimson.
This corpse had been revived!
Xu Yuan was ready. His muscles tensed. If anything happened, he would launch an attack.
However, there was no sign of an attack. Xu Yuan finally relaxed a little.
Suddenly, everything disappeared.
Xu Yuan turned to look around but could only see a blood-red expanse before his eyes. There was nothing around, only empty space.
There was a figure standing right in front of him. Even just looking at it made one unable to resist the urge to bow down and kneel in submission.
The Annihilation Master was alive!
Xu Yuan recalled the legend of the revival of the old gods. It made him uneasy.
Rona hadn’t noticed anything unusual. Could it be that the ancient god wanted to devour the body and come back to life?
“1 sense the aura of a new world from you!” said a booming voice.
Although Xu Yuan didn’t know what language it was, he understood the meaning.
In a haze, the figure with boundless pressure shattered like glass and transformed into endless blood-red light.
Everything before Xu Yuan’s eyes suddenly disappeared, and the partially devoured Annihilation Master reappeared.
In a state of bewildering suspicion, a familiar prompt suddenly sounded in Su Wan’s ear.
[Ancient Mission: Please find the Crimson Lord and give the Annihilation Master’s eyes to her.]
Su Wan was on high alert at this point. The last time she triggered an S-rank mission, she got a huge reward for completing it.
However, she couldn’t understand why the mission was labeled dangerous. She only needed to find Nami and give her the eyes.
Then she remembered the knight that her heroes had killed.. Would she have to fight a Knight God or something of that sort for this mission?
