The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 690 - 289: Apocalypse Revelation_2

Clutching a Ferocious Ghost Symbol, one could practice within the Deep Black Wheel – an opportunity not available to everyone.

Ye Nishang was unexpectedly easy to talk to. Once she had made clear his and Ye Liuying’s intentions, she waved her hand and never obstructed them.

"Boom!"

This was the 155th time entering the Ferocious Ghost Hall, fighting for nearly five hours, covered in a mix of blood and sweat.

Having just finished the fight, Ye Hanjun was physically drained and dizzy, eventually collapsing to the ground.

"Ah?"

Ye Liuying had emerged earlier and had already used medicine to recuperate, restoring her condition to about fifty or sixty percent.

She rushed over in a few strides, intending to help Ye Hanjun up.

Her fingers had barely touched his shoulder when she recoiled as if shocked by electricity.

"I am about to break through..."

"Stay away from me... Strange phenomena might occur..."

"You’re advancing faster than me? I have been trying very, very hard!"

Ye Liuying’s eyes widened in surprise, murmuring to herself somewhat astonished.

But her reaction was quick; she pulled back and leaned against the wall of the resting area, her bright eyes reflecting an intense shimmer.

Since Ye Mochou, Ye Nishang and several batches of their clansmen had woken up, it had been four years to this day.

According to the standard calendar, it was the end of the year 9997 in the first era of the New Era.

There were only two more years left until the ringing of the Clock of the Era.

And her "Night Angel," standing at the pinnacle of the fifth rank, was only a hair’s breadth away from breaking through the barrier.

Unexpectedly, Ye Hanjun had overtaken her, advancing his "Demon Ruler" to a new rank first.

"Damn it!"

The intensely motivated Ye Liuying, who had endured four years of rigorous training, was grinding her teeth in annoyance.

Her gaze intense, the Darkest Abyss spontaneously expanded, with tendrils of blood mist rising into the sky.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

Three beams of light flashed; Aegifura, Mo, and Absolute String appeared beside Ye Hanjun, forming a triangular stance.

"Advancing at this juncture?"

While arranging her hair, Aegifura, who found herself suddenly summoned, paused in slight surprise.

Looking around, she honed in on the source of the disturbance and snorted. Her pupils slowly swirling with purple Magatama, a palpable nervous tension emerged seemingly out of nowhere.

"Ascending or not, I really don’t care..."

"If I turned ugly after evolving, I’d rather kill myself..."

Aegifura muttered, her expression growing more intense as the air around her became increasingly turbulent.

"Hey, stinky human, get up!"

"Where’s the Youth Tree? Give it to me fast; I need a drop of its sap!"

Aegifura yelled loudly, but Ye Hanjun, with his eyes closed, seemed immersed in a particular state and didn’t respond to her.

"Damn it! You fail at the critical moment!!"

Aegifura, fiddling with her nails and nervously tapping the ground with her crystal high heels, muttered irritably.

"Whoosh~~~"

A swath of dim light shifted place, and a plain, unadorned elderly man in a black robe suddenly appeared next to Ye Liuying.

"Unc... Uncle Ancestor?"

Initially unaware, Ye Liuying kept looking towards Aegifura’s suddenly upright white hair, then turned her head to find a silent figure beside her.

She jumped in fright, but upon seeing the man’s face, her surprise quickly turned to respect.

"He’s about to break through, isn’t he?"

Ye Qi frowned, murmuring to himself, his profound gaze shadowing over Ye Hanjun.

"Uncle Ancestor, he’s just breaking from the fifth rank to the sixth rank. His Ability will automatically strengthen; there shouldn’t be a drastic change like a job transfer, right?" Ye Liuying asked cautiously.

"Of course."

Ye Qi nodded slightly, "However, this young man’s Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits are all rather extraordinary."

"At my advanced age, I still look forward to ’evolution’ just as I did in my youth, not wanting to miss any spectacular moments."

"I see..." Ye Liuying, reassured, her eyes darting around, asked brightly:

"Based on your experience, what forms might they evolve into, and what abilities might they possess?"

"The Demon Enchantress should still be associated with ’charm’; it’s hard to sever their connection."

"The Heavenly Zither Thunder Demon has had its evolved form appear in the Near Ancient Era, and if nothing unusual happens, it won’t be much different."

Ye Qi, playing with his beard, emitted no imposing aura but murmured softly:

"Only this grotesque being with a bizarre character, I can’t be certain at all; it seems anything is possible for its evolution."

"Uncle Ancestor, let me tell you a secret."

After deliberating for a moment, Ye Liuying decided to reveal a secret, slightly elevating Ye Hanjun in her uncle ancestor’s esteem:

"This fellow’s true name is ’Mo’."

"But Ye Hanjun said that it is not a purely Abyssal Demon, but a rare Double Seal coexistence, additionally possessing the ’Disaster’ Chaos Seal."

"Disaster..." Ye Qi’s gaze sharpened, "This lineage’s emergence... is not a good omen."

"Ah?"

Ye Liuying, puzzled, cast a confused look.

"Apart from those most sinister and cunning dark races, the vast majority of forces, including the strong clans of various Abysses, least wish to encounter the Fond Spirit bloodline with ’Desolation’, ’Wickedness’, or ’Disaster’."

"Among them, creatures with the Main Study of the Plundering Path generally plunder nature’s spiritual energy and natural vitality, with a few capable of plundering fate itself. Because they lack a complete and independent consciousness, any act of malice from them is bound to stir massive tumult."
