Free Web NovelChapter 337: Chapter 204: Growing Ancient God Curse
"Then... let’s begin!"
Zorn landed directly on the Jade Magic Ring Tree, which also stood at a towering height of one hundred thousand meters.
Then, using Sikes’ Magic Wand, he began to release a massive amount of fire to incinerate and sacrifice the Jade Magic Ring Tree.
In the past six months or so, while Zorn was releasing the Forbidden Curse Spores, he had also found many projections of the Jade Magic Ring Tree.
And he burned them all, one by one, with the Ritual Fire.
Others who wanted to deal with a Tree of the Magic Ring could only use the power of a Tree of the Magic Ring.
But for Zorn, he could easily deal with the Jade Magic Ring Tree using the Ritual Fire.
Moreover, while continuously burning and absorbing the power of the Jade Magic Ring Tree, Zorn was also constantly using his own Tree of Calamity Magic Ring to absorb and digest it.
For the past six months, Zorn had spent most of his time "burning trees."
As a result, the growth rate of his Tree of Calamity Magic Ring had been quite fast during this period.
Zorn’s act of burning the Jade Magic Ring Tree was soon discovered by the few Middle Rank Gods wandering this World.
There were five Middle Rank Gods in total.
And each was around Level 24 or Level 25.
When these Middle Rank Gods tried to come and stop him, Zorn directly used the Magic Net to cast an Ancient God Curse from an extreme distance.
Eating Phase—Insect King Curse!
The tyrannical, greedy, and extremely active Ancient God Curse was unleashed.
The entire World seemed to have become the hunting ground for the Insect King Curse.
The five Divine Spirits of the Jade Realm all trembled, their killing intent soaring one after another.
"It’s the Insect King Curse."
"A scumbag from the Calamity Court Realm."
"Damn intruder, kill him."
"Let’s kill him together."
Although the killing intent of these five Divine Spirits from the Jade Realm was soaring, Zorn’s current strength was naturally not something these ordinary Middle Rank Gods could stop.
After a brief exchange, Zorn’s Insect King Curse devoured the first Middle Rank God.
"CRUNCH... CRUNCH..."
The harsh chewing sounds of the Insect King Curse swept across the entire World, making the remaining four Divine Spirits increasingly terrified.
’With the Cosmic Magic Net, I can use the entire World as my battlefield.’
’I can attack my enemies, but they can’t attack me.’
’Being able to awaken a powerful ability like the Cosmic Magic Net is all thanks to absorbing a large amount of the source of the Cosmic Demon Pool.’
While these thoughts ran through Zorn’s mind, the Insect King Curse had already devoured the second Middle Rank God.
Seeing that the situation was dire, the remaining three Middle Rank Gods immediately began to flee.
Too bad!
It was already too late to think about escaping now.
With the coordination between the Insect King Curse and the Cosmic Magic Net, Zorn easily deployed all sorts of techniques: traversal and interception, offensive blocking, and entanglement and strangulation.
Before long, the three routed Middle Rank Gods were also devoured by the Insect King Curse, one after another.
"GURGLE... GURGLE..."
As the Insect King Curse digested them, Zorn could clearly feel the Sequence framework of the Insect King Curse itself growing and undergoing subtle adjustments.
This made its overall strength greater and the curse itself smoother and more refined.
’This is the benefit of a growth-type Ancient God Curse.’
’And the Ancient God Curse in the space inside the Golden Giant is a top-tier growth-type Ancient God Curse.’
He glanced at the Jade Magic Ring Tree, where the burning flames were growing increasingly fierce.
’It will probably take three to five days to completely incinerate this projection of the Jade Magic Ring Tree.’
’Based on past experience, people from the Jade Realm will definitely come during this time.’
’However, this World is quite difficult to enter, so I don’t need to worry too much.’
’Next...’
Zorn looked cautiously at the colossal Golden Giant Statue, which stood one hundred thousand meters tall.
’It’s the crucial Ancient God Curse inside this Golden Giant Statue.’
’This is a core method for gaining an advantage when fighting against other Ancient Gods.’
’Only after obtaining this ability and carefully nurturing it will I have the confidence to participate in the final battle.’
Immediately, Zorn flew swiftly and landed on the chest of the towering Golden Giant Statue, where he began to set up a ritual.
Just as Zorn had predicted, about half a day later, three Middle Rank Gods arrived to investigate the situation.
After the three Middle Rank Gods discovered that the Jade Magic Ring Tree here was being burned, they immediately tried to come and extinguish the fire.
Even though they were very cautious and had made preparations, they were still hit by a surprise attack from Zorn’s Insect King Curse, and one of them was devoured on the spot.
Afterward, under the assault of the Ancient God Curse, the remaining two Divine Spirits, after struggling to resist, were also devoured and digested by Zorn’s Insect King Curse.
At this moment, Zorn had already completed the ritual and could open the entrance to the Golden Giant Statue at any time.
However, Zorn was in no hurry to enter.
Instead, he continued to wait for the Ritual Fire to burn the Tree of the Magic Ring.
Right now, with every bit of the Jade Magic Ring Tree the Ritual Fire incinerated, the tree grew that much weaker.
Moreover, if people from the Jade Realm came in one by one, Zorn could kill them individually.
Of course, besides this, Zorn had other plans.
About a day later, the projection of the Jade Magic Ring Tree was already more than half burned.
At the same time, a large number of Middle Rank Gods from the Jade Realm arrived to provide support.
Originally, Zorn had planned to annihilate this entire group of Middle Rank Gods from the Jade Realm.
But when this group of Middle Rank Gods from the Jade Realm arrived, even Zorn couldn’t help but feel a slight stir in his heart.
This group of Middle Rank Gods not only numbered more than thirty, but among them were many powerful Middle Rank Gods who had long been famous in the Jade Realm.
As far as Zorn knew, these long-famous Middle Rank Gods all had the potential to become Upper Rank Gods.
They hadn’t become Upper Rank Gods precisely so they could be of use at the Middle Rank stage.
Against such Middle Rank Gods, even Zorn wouldn’t dare claim he could win in a one-on-one fight.
Faced with such experts and such a massive force, Zorn naturally used the ritual to open the Vortex Gate of the Golden Giant Statue at the first opportunity, entered, and then closed the Vortex Gate behind him.
Lingering outside any longer would be troublesome if he were intercepted.
When the many Middle Rank Gods of the Jade Realm arrived near the Jade Magic Ring Tree, which was being incinerated by the Ritual Fire, and the towering Golden Giant Statue, the faces of the leading Middle Rank Gods were all quite grim.
During this time, they had already seen the Jade Magic Ring Tree being burned by this strange black fire many times.
However, their more important task right now was to deal with those damned Forbidden Curse Fungi.
They had no idea where those damn fungi came from.
Although the fungi didn’t have much destructive power against them, the Divine Spirits, their damaging effect on this still-sunken Ancient Divine Kingdom, which was in a state of fallen death, was quite astonishing.
If left unchecked, those terrifying Forbidden Curse Fungi would soon erode the entire Ancient Divine Kingdom.
Even though they had now deployed considerable forces to deal with the Forbidden Curse Fungi, the results could only be described as barely satisfactory.
Of course, the Forbidden Curse Fungi weren’t the most troublesome part.
What gave them the biggest headache was that guy named Zorn Corick, who was spreading the Ritual Fire everywhere.
The Forbidden Curse Fungi were only a future threat to the Ancient Divine Kingdom, and possibly to the Jade Magic Ring Tree.
But now, that Evil God Zorn Corick was already using that potent fire to burn the projections of the Jade Magic Ring Tree.
During this period, not only had a large number of the Jade Magic Ring Tree’s projections been burned down, but more critically, several other Worlds were now completely ablaze with raging black flames—the kind that were difficult to extinguish even after they had invested a large number of Divine Spirits.
Once that terrifying black fire reached a certain scale, it became completely inextinguishable.
This was the most troublesome aspect.
This time, they had received precise information on the location of Evil God Zorn and had quickly joined forces to come and kill him.
But now, that Evil God Zorn had hidden in a place they had never expected before their arrival.
Looking at the place where Evil God Zorn had disappeared—the Golden Giant Statue—the three top-tier Middle Rank Gods all frowned.
