Free Web NovelChapter 335: Chapter 203: Imprisoning Three Ancient Gods
Given the offensive efficiency of both sides,
the Jade Realm would undoubtedly destroy their Black Star Divine Kingdom fortress long before they could significantly damage the Ancient Divine Kingdom.
This state of affairs drove the Upper Rank Gods to the brink of despair.
However, over the past half-year, the situation seemed to have changed.
It was all thanks to the Forbidden Curse Fungus provided by Zorn.
After being continuously introduced at the beginning, over the past six months,
the fungus had started to take effect.
First, its rate of expansion was astonishing.
In just half a month, the fungus could begin to spread its spores, letting them drift far and wide.
Vast swaths of the Divine Kingdom’s territory were occupied by the Forbidden Curse Fungus.
Moreover, the peculiar Forbidden Curse Fungus seemed naturally suited for this fallen Divine Kingdom.
It took root and spread throughout many locations.
The fungus then rapidly absorbed the Ancient Divine Kingdom’s Divine Power and essence, eroding its Crystal Walls.
Even inside the uninhabited Crystal Wall bubbles of the Ancient Divine Kingdom, some Forbidden Curse Fungus had taken root and sprouted.
Initially, the Calamity Court Divine Kingdom’s offensive had little effect and posed no real threat to the Jade Realm.
But as the Forbidden Curse Fungus spread throughout the Ancient Divine Kingdom,
a threat emerged.
The deep and pervasive expansion of the Forbidden Curse Fungus forced the Jade Realm to shift its focus.
They were no longer focused on hunting down and expelling the intruders from the Calamity Court Realm.
Instead, their priority became eliminating and destroying the Forbidden Curse Fungus.
And yet, in only half a year,
the Forbidden Curse Fungus had already spread so widely within the Divine Kingdom that it was nearly impossible to eradicate.
This development left Ossirion with mixed feelings of joy and apprehension.
’Zorn’s Magic Net is expanding within, giving us more room to operate.’
’The Forbidden Curse Fungus is doing the same, posing a significant threat to the Jade Realm from within.’
’It looks like for the time being, we need to focus on planting more of the fungus in hidden corners. Only then can we effectively destroy this Ancient Divine Kingdom.’
’We also need to share this Forbidden Curse Fungus technique with the other attacking forces so they can use the same method to infiltrate and corrode the Ancient Divine Kingdom.’
’As long as we can destroy this Ancient Divine Kingdom, we can deal a heavy blow to the Jade Realm.’
As he mulled this over, the Upper Rank God Ossirion began contacting the other Upper Rank Gods.
He wanted to expand the application of the Forbidden Curse Fungus Zorn had provided, spreading its effects on a massive scale.
...
In depths as dark as the abyss of Death itself.
"FWOOSH..."
The Ritual Fire gradually blossomed within the darkness.
Although the area was mostly dead rock, sheer cliffs, and cold, silent peaks,
it was, after all, the Ancestral Cave within the Ancient Divine Kingdom.
It was still part of the Divine Kingdom and contained the very essence of the Ancient Divine Kingdom.
Therefore, once the Ritual Fire bloomed here, it began to spread with incredible speed.
Before long, the entire valley was set ablaze by the ritual flames, and the black fire continued to spread in all directions.
"Haaa..."
Feeling the ritual flames spreading in all directions, Zorn let out a long sigh.
’The Ritual Fires I started in the other locations were all detected by their people.’
’Now, however, the outside is teeming with Forbidden Curse Spores.’
’Those Forbidden Curse Spores have not only disrupted the Tree of the Magic Ring’s Perception of the entire Divine Kingdom, but they’ve also drawn the attention of a large number of the Jade Realm’s Middle Rank Gods.’
’For the time being, they shouldn’t be able to discover the fire deep within the Ancestral Cave.’
’By the time they do, they won’t be able to stop the flames deep within the Ancestral Cave.’
’After all, the Ancestral Cave is enormous. Once the Ritual Fire begins its large-scale sacrifice, not even master Middle Rank Gods will be able to extinguish it.’
’So, next...’
Zorn scrutinized the gradually expanding ritual flames.
’First, I’ll go and deal with the other two sleeping Ancient Gods.’
’Then, I’ll explore those Treasure Lands.’
’As the Forbidden Curse of the fungus spreads and the ritual’s flames radiate outward,’
’in about a hundred years, two to three hundred at most, I can absolutely inflict a heavy blow on the Jade Realm.’
’Then, when the wave of the millennial epoch arrives, I can cripple the Jade Realm.’
’At the same time, if this operation goes smoothly and I manage to completely imprison the other two Ancient Gods,’
’I can gradually refine and absorb them in the time that follows. When the Mythical Wave of the millennial epoch arrives, I too will have a chance to ascend to the very peak.’
’After all... I currently control more Cosmic Essence than any Divine Spirit or Ancient God.’
A few hours later, deep within the Ancestral Cave,
Zorn found a suitable spot, entered it, and concealed himself.
He once again embarked on a journey back through time,
heading toward his target in the ancient past: ninety million years ago.
This journey took him more than two full years.
Only then did Zorn arrive in the ancient past, ninety million years ago.
Zorn then spent a full seven months using his Talent and Abilities to pinpoint the Ancient God’s location, and he finally found his target.
Compared to the Ancient God from thirty million years ago,
this Ancient God from ninety million years ago
was sleeping on his own within the ancient Ancient Hall of Time.
The moment Zorn entered,
the ancient Ancient God would slowly begin to awaken.
This time, Zorn repeated his previous method.
He again used the [Cosmic Altar] to completely seal and capture the ancient Ancient God.
It was even simpler than dealing with the Ancient God who had transformed into a Plane.
After all, Zorn was now quite familiar with the process.
The entire process went off without a hitch.
After sealing the Jade Realm’s Ancient God from ninety million years ago,
Zorn began to journey back through time once more, heading for one hundred thirty million years in the past.
The ancient Time Barrier at the one-hundred-million-year mark was extremely difficult to cross.
Even though Zorn was well-prepared, he failed more than thirty times before luckily passing through the majestic Time Barrier—a barrier that formed only once every hundred million years and had driven him to the brink of despair.
Once he crossed the hundred-million-year Time Barrier, the rest was easy.
The Ancient God hidden one hundred thirty million years in the past,
would never have awakened were it not for a summons from the Jade Realm through the Jade Magic Ring Tree.
Only during the great wars fought over the [Cosmic Demon Pool] every one or three thousand years,
when the Jade Realm was under siege, would they choose to awaken this powerful Ancient God.
After all, this was a Level 34 Ancient God.
In the current Star Realm Cosmic, a being of that caliber was among the absolute top tier.
But now, this powerful, Level 34 Ancient God
was about to be imprisoned and suppressed by Zorn using the [Cosmic Altar].
The first Ancient God had transformed into a Material Plane.
The second Ancient God slept within the Ancient Hall of Time.
The third Ancient God existed in the Star Realm in the form of an ancient [Jade Magic Ring Tree].
In fact, in that same area,
there were many phantoms of the [Jade Magic Ring Tree].
But Zorn knew which one was the Level 34 Ancient God.
After Zorn sealed the third Ancient God, the one transformed into the [Jade Magic Ring Tree],
a faint smile spread across his face as he stood upon the torrent of ancient time.
’In the time to come, I will gradually raise my Level and advance to Upper Rank God.’
’When I reach Level 27 or Level 28,’
’I can begin to formally sacrifice these three powerful Ancient Gods.’
’Through the resources I’ve gathered and the sacrifice of these three, I will soon be able to ascend to the rank of Ancient God.’
’Once I reach the level of an Ancient God, everything will be different.’
’The final Chapter of the World will be written by my hand!’
’However...’
Slowly reigning in his thoughts, Zorn looked before him.
’For now, I first need to unearth the treasure of that fallen Ancient God.’
’I can’t miss out on that core Ancient God Curse.’
’After all, that was the very reason this Ancient God fell in the first place.’
Lost in thought, Zorn began to descend back toward his original timeline.
