Free Web NovelChapter 336: Chapter 204: A Growth-Type Ancient God Curse
Within this fallen Ancient Divine Kingdom.
There were three precious treasures.
Zorn coveted all three of these precious treasures.
「Several days later.」
After crossing the blockade of a towering mountain range and passing through the detection zone of a Tree of the Magic Ring,
Zorn arrived at the first Treasure Land.
Hiding deep within the dark, oppressive sky,
Zorn gazed down.
He saw that a large number of Middle Rank Gods had already sealed the entrance to this Treasure Land by constructing a blockade with a Divine Kingdom Crystal Wall.
’This place has already been excavated.’
’It looks like it’s been under excavation for quite some time.’
’Considering its remaining value and the danger of breaking in, it’s not worth the risk.’
’Besides, there are many Trees of the Magic Ring nearby. If I really tried to force my way through, it wouldn’t end well for me.’
Just as he was investigating, Zorn suddenly sensed something.
’Time to go!’
Zorn immediately used the Cosmic Magic Net to make a swift escape.
There were still many powerful Middle Rank Gods in the Calamity Court Divine Kingdom.
And right now, Zorn was only a Legendary Demigod.
If it came to a real fight, he would be no match for those powerful Middle Rank Gods.
Just as Zorn left,
two shadowy figures had already crept toward the spot where he had been hiding.
After searching the area for a moment, the two shadowy figures revealed their forms.
"Did you find any traces?"
"No, I didn’t. They must have escaped."
"They’re skilled, to have escaped so quietly."
"The Calamity Court Divine Kingdom still has some masters. A while ago, our forces suffered a great loss deep underground. Over a hundred Middle Rank Gods were completely annihilated by some evil Dark Divine Spirit who used a special technique."
"I heard about that too."
"Granted, those Middle Rank Gods were focused on destroying those damned Forbidden Curse Spores and didn’t pay much attention to that damned Dark Divine Spirit. But for so many Divine Spirits to be wiped out in a single wave by him... this loss is still quite devastating."
"Many Divine Spirits from the Calamity Court Realm have their eyes on this Treasure Land. We’ll have to be careful for the time being."
"Of course."
Zorn’s Magic Net naturally picked up part of the two Divine Spirits’ conversation.
Recently, as numerous Divine Spirits from the Calamity Court Divine Kingdom entered the Ancient Divine Kingdom to wage war,
many powerful Divine Spirits had indeed begun to distinguish themselves.
For example, the "Dark Element Wizard God" had annihilated over a hundred Middle Rank Gods at once from underground with a single stratagem.
Admittedly, among those hundred-plus Middle Rank Gods, only a few were at the peak of the Middle Rank.
But being able to eliminate so many Middle Rank Gods at once was a testament to the Dark Element Wizard God’s formidable power.
’With the start of the war, the talented Divine Spirits within the Calamity Court Realm will all begin to take the stage, one by one.’
’And they will all be key figures in the millennial war to come.’
...
「Several days later.」
Zorn arrived at the second Treasure Land.
This second Treasure Land had also been developed by the Jade Realm.
In fact, the development was quite extensive.
Zorn couldn’t help but feel that it was a pity.
’If these treasures hadn’t been developed by the Calamity Court Realm, he could have snuck in and gotten his hands on a lot of good stuff.’
But now...
Zorn could only hope that the third and most crucial treasure had not been developed by the Jade Realm.
...
Several days later, after passing through a hidden Crystal Wall channel,
Zorn successfully reached the Green Sea Marshes.
As he looked out, he saw that this was the Sea Marsh World, located in the middle layer of the realm. Azure waves rippled, and vast expanses of marine marsh forests floated on the water’s surface.
At the center of this World was a projection of the Jade Magic Ring Tree.
’As always, this place is incredibly hard to get into!’
’The whole process took me several days.’
Zorn thought to himself.
’However...’
He turned to look at the Crystal Wall behind him.
He saw crimson Forbidden Curse Spores appearing in large patches on the Crystal Wall, like streaks of blood.
The Forbidden Curse Spores, which had been multiplying and spreading everywhere, had already made their way inside.
After observing the vigorously growing Forbidden Curse Spores for a moment, Zorn focused his mind and flew toward the distant projection of the Jade Magic Ring Tree.
After entering, Zorn didn’t sense the aura of any Divine Spirits from the Jade Realm.
This proved that the area most likely hadn’t been developed yet.
When Zorn arrived near the Jade Magic Ring Tree,
he immediately discovered an ancient, unopened statue through his [Time Watcher] ability.
The ancient statue was a full 100,000 meters tall.
It was golden from top to bottom and constantly absorbed the surrounding Divine Power, Source Energy, and many other forms of material Energy.
A Vortex Gate was faintly visible on its chestplate.
At this moment, the Vortex Gate was shut tight.
"Phew..."
Seeing this, Zorn let out a long sigh of relief.
’It hasn’t been opened yet. That’s great.’
’Next, I just need to burn down the projection of the Jade Magic Ring Tree and eliminate the few wandering Middle Rank Gods, then I can properly dig up the treasure here.’
’That terrifying Ancient God Curse is very peculiar. It has an inherent growth trait, allowing it to constantly grow and strengthen by fighting, killing, and devouring Divine Spirits.’
’Although the Eating Phase Insect Curse has a similar effect, that powerful Ancient God Curse only becomes truly potent after Level 10. Before that, it needs to be properly fed with Divine Spirits.’
’In the current Era of War, that’s not a problem at all.’
