Supreme Dragon Seal

For the first stage, when dealing with the five elite disciples of the Holy Lands, Kurt Nord chose to fill the gap with lives. After all, no matter how powerful the high-level realm experts were, they still had their limitations.

For the second stage, facing three King-grade powerhouses from the Dark faction, it seemed that the Nord family couldn’t find three King-grade powerhouses to counter them. Kurt Nord directly used psychological tactics to make them overly cautious, becoming live targets for goblin weapons in front of the altar, instantly turning them into a pile of minced meat.

So, who would appear for this last time? How would the Nord family respond?

At this moment, disciples from the two temples and the five Holy Lands began to have doubts. If the Nord family held the 800-year Grand Ceremony to summon the gods of the Netherworld, why would the Dark faction come out to stop them?

Moreover, it was first the Light faction, then the Dark faction, as if they had planned it in advance, but they kept the others in the dark. This made some suspicions arise among the five Holy Lands, and some disciples began to question this operation.

On the contrary, the people from the Light Temple and the Temple of Life remained silent. The people in the two major temples were heavily brainwashed by religious beliefs. As long as they believed it was right, they had no fear even if they lost their lives.

But the five Holy Lands were different. Although they were originally created by the Light faction to monitor and balance the remnants of the Dark faction, they did not exist in a religious form and were not subjected to religious brainwashing, so naturally, their independent thinking was much more active.

However, their suspicions were suppressed by a single sentence from Yan Shengyi:

“If we still can’t see the dark tendencies of the Nord family later, then everyone can do whatever they want and no longer be restrained by me.”

….

At the top of Qi Bei’s sea of consciousness, the Soul Grass had bloomed beautiful golden flowers. These flowers were slowly blossoming, and the central stamen swayed gently like crystal, appearing dreamlike.

Suddenly, the blooming of the flower came to a halt.

One by one, the roots of the flower unexpectedly surged towards the glowing mass in Qi Bei’s soul and effortlessly pierced into it. In a flash, it penetrated the brow of Yu Qinghuo of the Beast Manor, just like Crazy Elder from before.

Yu Qinghuo didn’t even have time to utter a sound before he became foolishly dazed, just like the Crazy Elder.

Yu Qinghuo’s soul was far less powerful than the Crazy Elder’s, and the root of the flower continued its relentless assault, instantly piercing towards the old woman.

The old woman let out a miserable scream as her soul power was swiftly drained away.

However, luckily, when the soul power of the old woman became extremely feeble, as if satisfied, the root of the flower instantly withdrew. Although the old woman’s soul was now only slightly stronger than an ordinary person, at least she didn’t become as foolishly dazed as the Crazy Elder and Yu Qinghuo. It could be considered a fortunate outcome in her misfortune.

Meanwhile, the golden flower in Qi Bei’s sea of consciousness, which had stopped blooming, began to bloom once again, one petal after another, until it fully blossomed. At this moment, the crystal-like stamens of the flower suddenly began to connect and intertwine with each other, forming the shape of a peach, as if something was gestating inside.

Just then, Qi Bei suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils emitted concentric circles of golden light, and upon closer inspection, there were a total of nine circles. However, his gaze at this moment lacked any warmth. It was icy, devoid of any emotional presence. It was as if he had opened his eyes, but his soul had not awakened.

From Qi Bei’s throat came a few low roars, rumbling like muffled thunder.

In the secret passage, Ye Longsu poked her head out and took a glance. As soon as she encountered Qi Bei’s cold gaze, her soul seemed to freeze. She stood there dumbfounded, with her eyes wide open but completely motionless, as if instantaneously petrified.

It’s unclear how much time had passed when the nine circles of golden light in Qi Bei’s eyes suddenly retracted simultaneously. At the same time, the stamen of the golden flower in Qi Bei’s sea of consciousness began to wither, revealing a gleaming golden fruit.

This fruit was wrapped in a thin membrane, similar to a layer of golden film. It appeared as if with a gentle prick, the juice inside would surge out.

This was the Fruit of Divine Soul, the fruit formed by the condensation of the awakened Divine Soul Seed. Once all the juice within the fruit merged into the soul, it would fully awaken the bloodline, establish the foundation of divinity, and lead to a qualitative leap in both soul and body.

However, at this moment, the magic array imprinted on Qi Bei’s brow from Kurt’s secret chamber wall suddenly activated, attempting to absorb the Divine Soul Fruit into it. But the magic array seemed unable to withstand the tremendous soul power contained in the Divine Soul Fruit and instantly collapsed.

The Divine Soul Fruit also shattered in an instant, and the golden juice completely turned Qi Bei’s sea of consciousness into a golden ocean.

“Ah…” Qi Bei let out a sudden and miserable scream. His soul felt as if it had been thrown into a boiling pot of oil, experiencing unimaginable agony.

It was a twist of fate. Originally, the magic array left by Lilith was specifically designed to merge with the Divine Soul Fruit. But no one could have anticipated that the Divine Soul Fruit would be so formidable. Normally, the formation of the Divine Soul Fruit required the absorption of Qi Bei’s soul power, and the more soul power it absorbed, the stronger the Divine Soul Fruit would become.

In Lilith’s plan, even if the last bloodline left behind by her merged with the Divine Soul Seed, the resulting Divine Soul Fruit wouldn’t be too powerful. The magic array she left behind would be sufficient to absorb it.

However, no one expected that there would be five peak experts from the Holy Lands within Qi Bei’s soul. The Divine Soul Fruit had absorbed the souls of three of these peak experts, making it extremely powerful. As a result, the magic array couldn’t contain it and collapsed, causing the juice of the Divine Soul Fruit to directly transform Qi Bei’s sea of consciousness into a true golden ocean.

Even a true god wouldn’t dare to place the juice of the Divine Soul Fruit directly into the sea of consciousness. It would be tantamount to annihilating one’s own soul.

Qi Bei howled in agony, his entire face and body trembling and contorting. His head shook uncontrollably as if it had been installed with a motor. Even his eye sockets were covered in a layer of golden color, and golden liquid dripped from the corners of his eyes.

Outside, after the Divine Soul Fruit shattered, the formation above the ancestral tomb assumed that Qi Bei had entered the final stage of fusion, and for the third time, cracks appeared in the sky above.

Just as Qi Bei’s soul was about to collapse, the Soul Seal suddenly transformed into a golden stream of energy and surged into his sea of consciousness. Almost simultaneously, his internal energy surged due to the pain. The already precarious Extreme Yang energy began to boil, gradually transforming into Extreme Yang Fire.

The dual torment on his body and soul drove Qi Bei into complete madness.

And just as he endured this unimaginable pain, a silver-purple light streaked across the sky above the Nord ancestral tomb. It violently collided with that thin crack.

“Crackle-!”

Amidst the intense flickering of electric light, the crack suddenly widened, and an expressionless young man in a silver robe appeared in the Nord ancestral tomb.

“Feng Tian!” Yao Rao was momentarily stunned, her eyebrows furrowing.

“Senior Brother Feng Tian?” Ming Yue was also greatly surprised.

Feng Tian had some reputation among the younger generation of the Five Holy Lands. Many people knew him, and everyone was extremely astonished as they couldn’t understand why he would appear here. What was even more astonishing was that he had broken through!

Feng Tian was now a lightning-element Earth-grade mage. With his strength alone, he could likely sweep through the entire Nord Family. Even if there were Goblin weapons, they wouldn’t pose a significant threat to Earth-grade experts who were already prepared.

Without saying a word, Feng Tian waved his staff, and dozens of thunderbolts directly struck the memorial tablets on the altar.

“If you want to destroy my ancestors’ memorial tablets, you’ll have to step over my dead body.” At that moment, Kurt Nord suddenly drew his sword horizontally, intercepting dozens of thunderbolts from Feng Tian.

Kurt back straightened more and more, and his momentum grew stronger.

“A peak Earth-grade warrior! Old Kurt is actually an Earth-grade powerhouse!” someone exclaimed from outside.

All along, people had thought that Kurt Nord was just a King-grade warrior, and an old and immobile one at that. But today, he overturned everyone’s perception of him.

“What a cunning old fox, hiding so deeply,” Emperor Han Mo muttered in the shadows.

“An Earth-grade warrior is nothing more than an ant in my eyes,” Feng Tian said coldly, sharply waving his staff. A bolt of lightning shot towards Kurt.

Kurt roared, his battle qi armor forming, and he soared into the air like a giant peng bird, evading the lightning while slashing towards Feng Tian.

A cold arc formed at the corner of Feng Tian’s mouth. He neither dodged nor evaded, nor did he release a lightning magic barrier. He simply sneered and watched as Kurt’s attack approached.

While still in mid-air, Kurt felt a chill down his spine. He abruptly turned around and flicked his long knife back.

“Zila…” That bolt of lightning, even after missing its target, reversed course and pursued him.

Kurt’s earth-yellow battle qi clashed with the lightning, but at that moment, Feng Tian’s palm turned into a blade, and he leaped up, slashing out a thunder arc. With a swoosh, a charred wound appeared around Kurt’s waist. He groaned and staggered, falling onto the altar.

It was evident that Kurt Nord was no match for Feng Tian.

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered in the sky above the imperial capital, obscuring the sunlight and filling the air with a chilling gloom.

“The Calamity of Darkness?” everyone looked up at the sky, speculating in their hearts.

However, soon everyone realized that this was different from the previous Dark Calamities that had occurred in various places. The gathering clouds and black smoke in the sky were not just a simple darkness; people felt a strong aura of death, malice, and resentment within them. Some ordinary people even began to experience hallucinations and started to become crazed.

And everyone noticed that the center where these dark energies gathered was the Nord Family ancestral tomb.

Gradually, the Nord Family ancestral tomb was completely shrouded, and the inside couldn’t be seen from the outside. Within the black smoke, numerous illusory creatures emerged and launched attacks on the surrounding crowd.

“The Judge was right, the Nord Family has completely fallen, kill every member of the Nord Family,” someone shouted amidst the chaos.

Soon, news spread throughout the entire imperial capital that the Nord Family had colluded with the forces of darkness.

The Nord Family’s mansions, shops, and other properties were all vandalized and looted. It seemed that the downfall of the Nord Family was inevitable.
