Supreme Dragon Seal

Chapter 189: Second Stage



“Flame Soul Explosion.” The lone senior warrior from Dream Sea was shocked. It was the senior fire mage from the Nord family who had been preparing this suicidal high-level magic.

The Flame Soul Explosion was an extremely dreaded desperate high-level magic of the fire mages. It burned their own consciousness to convert it into magical power. Even if a strong Earth-ranked expert were hit directly, they would be severely injured if not killed. Upon realizing the danger, the Dream Sea senior warrior turned around, intending to retreat desperately.

However, in that moment, Will, who seemed somewhat fearful, suddenly roared and rushed forward in a blink, attempting to entangle him.

“Get out of the way!” The Dream Sea disciple thrust his sword in an attempt to force Will back.

However, Will, who had just shown some fear of death, fearlessly threw himself at the disciple without hesitation. He allowed the long sword of his opponent to pierce his body while his hands and feet tightly wrapped around him in an instant.

The Dream Sea disciple was greatly alarmed and desperately tried to break free. But his long sword had already pierced Will’s body, and Will clung to him tightly like a koala. He couldn’t retrieve his sword at all.

“Let go.” The Dream Sea disciple saw the flames emanating from the mage’s body. It was the precursor to the Flame Soul Explosion. He howled in desperation, clenched his other fist, and repeatedly hammered Will’s back with punches.

With each strike, the sound of bones cracking could be heard, and blood sprayed from Wil’s mouth. But despite this, he stubbornly endured, not uttering a single sound and refusing to let go.

At that moment, the senior mage from the Nord family unleashed the Flame Soul Explosion. His entire body transformed into an incredibly scorching flame and rushed toward Will and the Dream Sea disciple entangled together.

The Dream Sea discple screamed in despair. He was a disciple of a Holy Land, with a promising future ahead of him. He didn’t want to die.

Meanwhile, Will silently smiled, his gaze calm and fervent, just like the approaching flames.

“Qi Bei, you must hold on. If I die under this sea of fire, under the gaze of countless powerful individuals, it can be considered a glorious death.” Will thought to himself as he closed his eyes amidst the earth-shattering explosion, feeling his soul taking flight. It soared higher and higher, reaching towards the sky.

At this moment, who would dare to say that Will Nord didn’t deserve the title of one of three geniuses of the Nord Family?

Those who had been closely following the situation in the ancestral tomb were dumbfounded. No one had expected the confrontation between five elite Holy Land disciples and thirty members of secular families to become this intense. They had initially thought it would be a one-sided massacre, but instead, it resulted in mutual destruction and complete annihilation.

And in the end, the three disciples of the Nord family sacrificing themselves without hesitation left people’s hearts unable to calm down. They felt a surge of heat flowing back and forth, causing their hearts to tremble.

Kurt Nord closed his eyes. His heart, always skilled in calculating and scheming, was now somewhat moist, a mixture of sorrow and pride.

At this moment, in the large pit beneath the Nord ancestral tomb, Qi Bei emitted waves of golden flames, and his skin trembled and contorted.

The divine seed in his sea of consciousness had already grown into a tender green soul grass, about an inch long. The leaves had stopped growing, but fine white roots, as thin as strands of hair, were sprouting out. Once these roots grew, they plunged deep into Qi Bei’s soul, beginning to absorb his soul power.

The leaves absorbed the blood-red mist, while the roots absorbed Qi Bei’s own soul power.

Qi Bei was completely powerless to resist, the Dragon Seal and his internal energy had no response at this moment. However, the golden flow of energy formed by the Soul Seal surged out, transforming into golden runes.

But it was evident that the Soul Seal was not hindering it; instead, it was rapidly stimulating the growth of this Soul Grass.

At that moment, the roots of the Soul Grass suddenly penetrated into a massive light sphere within Qi Bei’s soul. They directly broke through the barrier of the light sphere, piercing into the forehead of the Dream Sea’s Crazy Elder.

“Ah… What is this thing? It’s absorbing my soul! Help me, save me…” The Crazy Elder screamed in terror. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, his soul power was completely drained.

Before the other four could react, the Crazy Elder had already become dazed and vacant. His gaze had no focus, and drool dripped from his mouth like that of a baby. The roots of the Soul Grass instantly retracted.

The four individuals turned pale, trembling despite having experienced many storms. What kind of thing was this? It had instantly drained the soul of the Crazy Elder, a pinnacle-level powerhouse at the Saint rank. Who knew if it would come again, perhaps the next one to be targeted would be them.

After absorbing the soul power of the Crazy Elder, the roots of the Soul Grass grew longer and longer, covering Qi Bei’s entire sea of consciousness.

At the Nord ancestral tomb, the ancestral tablets on the altar suddenly began to tremble. The sealed power within them became violent, and a fierce crack appeared in the blood glow above the ancestral tomb.

“So soon?” Kurt opened his eyes in astonishment, feeling a mix of surprise and joy. This situation meant that the integration of the Soul Seed had already reached the intermediate stage, and the tremors caused by the initial integration had just subsided.

“So soon…” Elder White Bone in the golden robe exclaimed in shock as well.

At this moment, Emperor Han Mo was no longer by his side. It was unclear where he had gone.

“You, follow me,” Elder White Bone said to the three Kings-grade powerhouses gathered behind him.

During the process of successful integration of the Soul Seed, it would be divided into three stages, each stage representing a vulnerability in the defense of soul energy. It was unknown what kind of agreement Lillith had reached with the factions of Light and Darkness, but this rule had been passed down.

If the Soul Seed began to integrate, the first stage would be handled by the Light faction, the second stage by the Dark faction, and the third stage by a mysterious force.

Now that the first stage, the Light faction, had already failed, it was naturally the turn of the Dark faction. Three King-grade powerhouses were required, not one more or one less. Their strength should be not be too high nor too low. Otherwise, if the rules were broken, the consequences would be complete annihilation.

Elder White Bone was not someone who followed the rules, but he dared not take the risk. He couldn’t afford to take this risk.

Leading the three King-grade powerhouses, Elder White Bone appeared above the Nord ancestral tomb, causing the disciples of the two major temples and the five Holy Lands to riot, ready to surround and kill them.

But at that moment, Yan Shengyi threw a jade plaque into the sky. The jade plaque emitted a powerful divine energy, intimidating everyone from the Light faction.

“The temple has given orders. We cannot harm them at this time. It’s the rule,” Yan Shengyi shouted, although she herself didn’t fully understand why such a rule existed.

Weren’t the factions of Light and Darkness sworn enemies? When one side saw the other, it meant an endless battle. So why did they reach a compromise and pass down such a rule? Yan Shengyi was also puzzled, but she could only obey the orders from above.

Elder White Bone turned his head and grinned provocatively at the disciples of the two major temples and the five Holy Lands. His intentions were clear—he was certain they wouldn’t dare to touch him.

The disciples were furious, but the divine authority still loomed over them. They dared not act out.

At this moment, the crack above the Nord ancestral tomb widened slightly, but it was much smaller than the first time.

Elder White Bone let out a wild roar and made his move. He knew that this was the largest crack that could be produced during the second stage of the Soul Seed’s integration. If he hesitated, and the crack closed again, he would lose this second opportunity. Elder White Bone had already reached the Heaven rank. He enveloped the three King-grade powerhouses with death energy, wielding his bone staff to tear open the crack and send the three of them into the ancestral tomb.

“You old thief, die!” But at this critical moment, Yao Rao suddenly shouted, her figure shooting out with lightning speed. With a wave of her staff, she released a hurricane directly towards Elder White Bone, who was in the process of sending the three King-grade experts into the Nord ancestral tomb.

“This is unacceptable. You dare not follow the rules,” Elder White Bone snarled, thrusting his bone staff toward Yao Rao. Suddenly, a huge blood-red skull rotated and confronted the hurricane launched by her.

“Boom!”

The hurricane from Yao Rao was directly shattered by the blood-red skull, but the skull’s momentum remained unabated as it charged towards her.

As if she had anticipated it, Yao Rao’s figure distorted and disappeared. The next second, she appeared above Elder White Bone. Countless wind blades attacked the three Dark faction King-grade powerhouses who had entered the crack halfway.

With a fierce roar, Elder White Bone swung his bone staff, using death energy to block the onslaught of Yao Rao’s wind blades. However, the wind blades didn’t disappear; instead, they struck the remaining areas of the blood-red energy barrier.

Suddenly, the blood-red energy above the Nord ancestral tomb erupted.

“Ah…” At that moment, one of the Dark faction’s King-grade experts let out a scream. The surging blood-red energy corroded Elder White Bone’s death energy, instantly grinding one of his legs into minced flesh.

“Yao Rao, stop causing trouble.” Just as she revealed a triumphant smile, a voice suddenly exploded in Yao Rao’s ear. Her expression immediately turned ugly, and she silently returned to where the disciples of Heavenly Mountain Peak were.

Yao Rao’s intention was to prevent the Dark faction’s King-grade powerhouses from entering. She knew that the Nord family might have cultivated some secret powers, including King-grade and even Earth-grade powerhouses. However, within the ancestral tomb, only descendants of the Nord family were present. Besides an elder who was a King-grade warrior and the eldest grandson of the third generation, Milo Nord, there were no powerhouses of the King-grade realm.

Now, although one of the Dark faction’s King-grade powerhouses had broken his leg, he was a necromancer, and losing one leg wouldn’t hinder his ability to cast magic.

Necromancy was extremely terrifying, and this was the Nord ancestral tomb, where numerous corpses were buried. With one necromantic summoning, summoning the ancestral remains of the Nord family, even if the Nord family had several powerhouses, it wouldn’t make a difference.

“Eighteenth Elder, rest assured, the incantation repeatedly chanted by the descendants of the Nord family is an ancient life divine spell. Under the spell’s coverage, it is impossible for the bones within the range to transform into undead beings.” At this moment, the Chief Priest of the Temple of Life, who led the team, seemed to sense Yao Rao’s concern and came to her side to reassure her.

So that’s it! Yao Rao breathed a sigh of relief.

“However…” The chief priest continued, but she seemed to sense something and looked towards the Nord ancestral tomb.

As soon as the three King-grade powerhouses from the Dark faction entered the Nord ancestral tomb, the necromancer with a broken leg began chanting a summoning spell. The incantation formed a necromantic summoning array in mid-air, and a spatial gate slowly opened within the array.

“However, although the necromancer cannot summon the bones within the divine spell’s range, they can summon undead creatures from the realm of Netherworld.” The chief priest continued.

As soon as she finished speaking, two silver zombies appeared through the spatial gate of the netherworld summoning array. These two silver zombies also possessed the strength of King-grade powerhouses and would not be crushed by the energy here.

On the altar, Kurt Nord still had his eyes closed, showing no signs of awakening the only two King-grade powerhouses in the clan to fight, which was quite strange.

Could it be that he intended to give up? Many people wondered so in their hearts.

The three King-grade powerhouses from the Dark faction cautiously approached the altar, using the two silver zombies as shields. Clearly, they were also puzzled and afraid that Kurt Nord might be playing some trick.

However, even when they were less than ten meters away from the altar, Kurt Nord still hadn’t opened his eyes, and no one attacked them.

Now, the rows of memorial tablets on the altar were clearly visible. As long as they were destroyed, the mission would be considered accomplished. The Divine Soul Seed and the Soul Seal would all belong to the Dark faction, and Elder White Bone would surely reward them generously.

Thinking this, the necromancer gave an order to the two silver zombies, instructing them to rush towards the altar and destroy the memorial tablets.

The two silver zombies instantly stepped onto the altar, but just at that moment, Kurt Nord opened his eyes and smiled at the three King-grade powerhouses from the Dark faction. Suddenly, the three of them felt that something of amiss…

However, it was already too late!

From the openings in the altar’s walls that were used for installation, beams of laser suddenly shot out. At such a close distance, before the three King-grade powerhouses could even react, they were already blasted into a pile of minced meat. And in the event of the summoner’s death, the two silver zombies were quickly teleported back to the realm of undead.

Some thought that the second trial would be as brutal as the first, and some believed it would be a one-sided slaughter. But no one expected that it would indeed be a one-sided slaughter, but it was the Nord family slaughtering the three King-grade powerhouses from the Dark faction.

In just an instant, it was over.

“What… what kind of attack is this?” It took a moment for someone outside to react and exclaim.

“Goblin weapons, this is an attack emitted by goblin weapons.” Some knowledgeable individuals immediately realized.

The Nord family had actually equipped powerful goblin weapons on the altar, once again catching everyone by surprise.

Kurt Nord’s title as the Old Fox is bound to become even more renowned!
