Chapter 423
Chapter 423
After Yashir Vikram had left, Wayne brothers from the Water Scorpion Clan didn't linger; they looked at Leylin once and then left.
Other Sea tribe warriors and those who didn't get involved in the whole ordeal saw that today's events were over, and hence gradually left. Not long after that, hotshots from Human Race and Sea Tribes in the Alaister Family also left in silence.
Although a lot of people were offended and horrified because of Leylin's unrestrained killing of hundreds of warriors but they couldn't do anything about it.
After the approval of the Sea tribes and their obvious disinterest to get involved in the matter, the Alaister family once again regained their supreme position amongst the human force in Barren City and the whole Sea community for that matter.
People with scheme and whatnot were left with nothing but remorse and dread, and as for pacifying the overall situation Leylin couldn't give a flying fuck.
Others only had two options now, either swallowing the bitter pill of defeat and suppression or to ask for help from the Endless Sea's other forces.
But it's highly unlikely that anyone could do anything to Leylin in Barren City. Even if Leylin enemies were to find out about his exploit in Barren City; sending a strong warrior to deal with Leylin would be very unlikely because of many repercussions.
First of all the Sea tribe would definitely not sit still if anyone were to swagger in their territory. There has always been bad blood among the two forces.
In the past, the Sea tribe had also tried invading the Endless Sea thousands of years ago, just to retreat in painful defeat.
But the invasion caused catastrophic losses for both forces, crippling a huge part of their forces.
The warriors in the Endless Sea have always been very racist and unaccepting of other tribes. And Sea tribes had also adopted a hostile relationship with them, it was only the Alaister family in thousands of years that was able to break the ice between the two forces and establish a super successful trade channel.
But unfortunately ever since King Abaddon's confinement in the Demon Area and the Alaister Family's lost of control in Kyara Sea, it's been years since they stopped transporting rare cultivating materials for the Sea Tribes.
This makes many members of the Sea Tribes who depend on the Alaister Yang Family uncomfortable.
The Sea Tribe member has needs for materials for his cultivation, they had Alaister Family to exchange for it. But then, the supply stopped. Many people who don't have the materials to cultivate turn to bear the grudge.
This situation created a vacuum, a void which was most definitely coveted by others. The Alaister Family has earned a fortune on the seabed through Barren City. Others would definitely be jealous and would want to redeem such an opportunity for themselves.
Leylin knew for sure that this rebellion against the Alaister family in the Barren City is much more than what it appears on the surface. It's clear that all the forces that invaded the Alaister family today obviously had the unspoken support of the Four Sea tribes as well as the greedy ambition of other Endless Sea forces.
But Leylin thinks that even if the Alaister were to be replaced, a harmonious trade and commerce relationship is very difficult to form.
Regardless of whatever savage and arrogant image the Alaister Family has in the Endless Sea, the family always advocates honor and prestige. Their behavior and outlook makes them more reliable and trustful.
Even King Abaddon isn't actually what others make him out to be, a lot of rumours about him are just propaganda.
Leylin can literally feel the disdain in the eyes of Sea Tribe when they look at humans but against Alaister family, it's still very tolerable.
Even today when all seemed lost and bleak, the presence of all the hotshots showed their favourable opinion of the family as a whole. Leylin is even sure that if the life of the family members were to be threatened they might have even stepped in to protect them, at least the direct descendants.
This is a form of respect and consideration that King Abaddon has formed through all these years, if not for this assurance someone like him wouldn't have sent the family in tiger's den.
These pagan tribes are much more trustworthy than humans, obviously they can also be greedy but they respect the favor of others and don't bite the hands that feed them.
In this regard, no matter if it be the Sea Tribes, the Dark Dwellers or the Demon Dwellers, none of them are as cruel as humans, who can do anything to earn benefits.
Now in the whole Sea tribe the only problem that the family could possibly have is the absence of approval from Nate Barrington, the legendary Third Sky of Spirit Realm and the leader of the Black Flood Dragon Clan.
Nate Barrington presence had subdued human warriors for years, making the ones who had wild schemes towards the seabed content with their lot.
Without him, perhaps Owen and Bret, and the others would have soon extended their tentacles to the undersea.
Nate wasn't a friendly person, with an ill temper and cruel personality. In these recent years, he had never shown mercy to humans who dared to swagger in the seabed.
Once there were humans who provoked the dignity of the Sea Tribes, he would definitely take action to make those wanton humans recognize the fierceness of the Sea Tribes.
But Leylin isn't worried about him just yet and neither is scrapping for his approval. Instead he's more concerned about completing the purpose of his return to the Endless Sea.
The Antiquity Lofty Dragon Graveyard.
During the time Leylin was returning to Endless Sea, Leylin tried to break the seal of the Blood Vein Ring. The Blood Vein Ring has given a lot of surprises to Leylin, from the Life and Death Seal, to the Five Devils, and Ramage.
After Leylin tried to once again seer into its unending mysteries a bizarre, vague scenes were projected.
It was some area on the seabed, covered with bones of beasts. Five-colored seawater was rumbling. The beast skeletons there were all dozens of meters tall, even taller than the main building of the Alaister Family in Kyara Sea.
There was a three-hundred-meter dragon skeleton. The bones were numerous, and dense like a small mountain. It was really dreadful to watch for ordinary people.
A strange halo was twinkling inside that massive skeleton. In the vague halo, he could see a coffin.
Leonidas Larrington's Dark Body, one of the Bloodthirsty's Entourage of Eight…!
Leylin still remembered the scene very vividly, the palpitations he felt while watching that projection are still fresh in his mind. From the moment he saw that scene, his goal became evident.
—The Antiquity Lofty Dragon Graveyard, one of Bloodthirsty's Entourage of Eight – the Dark Body of Leonidas Larrington!
After the commotion in the Barren City died, Leylin retreated into seclusion in the Alaister family treasure vault stating he had an epiphany.
Afterwards without alerting anyone he secretly left the Alaister mansion, Leylin didn't want anyone to follow his trails and also no one to disturb him.
Antiquity Lofty Dragon Graveyard is one of the forbidden lands of the Sea Tribe from where no one has ever come back alive and it would be very hectic if others knew he was planning to go there hence, Leylin left without informing anyone.
Although Leylin was going in dark and didn't know the location of the Antiquity Lofty Dragon Graveyard, it's just a small inconvenience for someone like him who's an expert in infiltration and information gathering.
Well for someone who invaded from one Astral plane to another and reincarnated, knowing about a famous forbidden land ain't much anything.
...
In the Silver Shark Clan territory.
After getting adequate information Leylin went straight to the Antiquity Lofty Dragon Graveyard. Along the way, he met some high-level beasts, but proactively avoided them creating no scene.
The path he was taking wasn't actually smooth but with his strength and unorthodox method he was without any fear or danger.
Eventually, on the seventh day of his departure, he reached the forbidden area which had a lot of skeletons of antiquity demonic beasts.
At first glance, they were all large-sized white skeletons. Each beast skeleton was as translucent as jade, sparkling with strange rays on the seabed. It gave people a feeling of full energy.
"This place is full of chaotic energies, this must be it." Leylin stood at his spot and muttered.
"Surprise me destiny." Leylin smiled, then entered the area. Under the chaotic energies, he still walked forward calmly.
After he had intruded the Antiquity Lofty Dragon Graveyard, the Blood Vein Ring started to sparkle, unceasingly releasing an immense, misty, blood halo.
The white skeletons of the beasts were so many that it was beyond people's imagination. At first glance, the whole area was covered with white bones.
With a closer look, Leylin found out many smaller skeletons among the giant beast skeletons. Those skeletons had different shapes with the signature of the Sea Tribes.
Thousands of years had gone by, and this ancient dragon graveyard had buried so many strong warriors of the Sea Tribes who came to discover the secrets of the Antiquity Lofty Dragon Graveyard. Even Nate Barrington himself is afraid of intruding here, this fact just testify how dreadful this place is.
Lots of proud experts and arrogant geniuses have lost their life in this dreadfully catastrophic place.
"The negative energy here is even more powerful than the Ouroboros Clan's Phosphorescent Swamp in the central continent."
Phosphorescent dots flew out from inside the skeletons from time to time. They were floating in the water, gazing like the eyes of demons.
The surging, cold and evil energies permeated the area. These kinds of energies were really massive. They created numerous vortexes that naked eyes couldn't see. If someone carelessly got in one of the vortexes, they would be devoured, leaving nothing behind.
The scary rumours about this place grew in Leylin mind and he agreed that they weren't an exaggeration.
But as expected, although these energies with intimidating attributes were moving chaotically around him, they didn't storm over. When these scary energies came near him and contacted the halo from the Blood Vein Ring, they would scatter proactively.
The Blood Vein Ring was like a life-protecting amulet. As it was glittering, it could prevent all kinds of energy attacks which could even kill God Realm warriors. Along the way, he didn't encounter any danger.
"Since the Blood Vein Ring has shown me this scene, it's also capable of letting me drive through to my destination."
The forbidden place that discolored people was as peaceful as any garden to him.
Evidently the Blood Vein Ring was genuinely related to this forbidden place or more correctly it's related to Leonidas Larrington's Dark Body.
With the Blood Vein Ring to guide him here, he was not worried that he would fall into dangerous situations.
"A.I.Chip Scan the Blood Vein Ring and investigate it's constitution."
"Beep! Task Established!....Estimated time till completion: ???"
'Can't say I am surprised.'
The Blood Vein Ring was releasing a blood-like halo that could prevent all intrusions of evil forces in the lofty dragon's tomb. Along the way, all kinds of energies in the forbidden place had to disperse around him and couldn't attach to his body.
Leylin was gliding among all sorts of white skeletons. As he didn't encounter any risks, he directly entered and marveled at a three-hundred-meter skeleton of the lofty dragon.
The skeleton was snow-white, with a twinkling brilliance. The white frame of the lofty dragon stayed inside the house made of demonic beasts' skeletons.
Right under the Yellow Dragon skeleton lay a giant black crystal coffin. The coffin lid was covered with all kinds of peculiar patterns, which looked pretty similar to the patterns on the Blood Vein Ring. It seemed like they were moving slowly.
An old, desolate, rude, and unreasonable aura vehemently burst out from the black coffin that shook people. The blood halo emitting from the Blood Vein Ring suddenly became fiercer, releasing a scarlet light beaming over the black coffin.
The mysterious patterns on the coffin seemed like they were revived, moving faster on the coffin. A dark, evil energy shot out from there.
BANG!
The lid of the coffin exploded into pieces.
A black iron puppet that was around three meters tall sat up in the coffin. This puppet was covered in iron armor, which seemed to grow directly on its body, connected perfectly without any gaps or slits.
This puppet wore an ink-black ferocious mask that exposed only its swarthy, empty pupils. The color of its pupils was vague.
Bang bang! Bang bang!
A strong heartbeat reverberated from the puppet. It seemed like it had an extremely exuberant heart that could transport the world-shaking dark energy for the puppet's body.
The puppet got up from the coffin, looking at the Blood Vein Ring.
A scarlet beam shot out from the Blood Vein Ring, shining directly onto the pupils of the puppet. The black pupils of the puppet gradually turned dark red, and it seemed like there was a drop of blood inside each of its pupils, which was really terrifying.
A strange soul fluctuation was generated from the scarlet light, pouring into the puppet. Deep inside the puppet's pupils, an illusion of the immense blood sea with countless skeletons of many clans could be seen.
Corpse laid everywhere, piling up like mountains. Blood gushing out from those corpses had generated all sorts of sinister patterns. It was like some soul ritual had been performed. Seemed like the red beams from the Blood Vein Ring had activated this antiquity Demogorgon.
The puppet in the coffin received the mysterious scarlet light from the Blood Vein Ring in silence. Seemed like it was about to be woken up from some ancient, intimidating place, and brought back to this world.
A black light started to shoot out from the puppet. This dark light was filled with a terrorizing, destructive aura. The meaning of this puppet's existence somehow was to destroy everything in this world, bringing this world into the endless darkness.
Leylin stood in front of that puppet and sensing the dark, devastating aura from it.
Leylin eyebrows were furrowed because he felt a huge intimidating pressure from the puppet.
"This is the most formidable existence that I have ever met in this world, not even the Demon Kings are equivalent to this. And they are at the Third Sky of Spirit Realm! If I were to compare it's somewhere between Third to Four Star of Morning Star Magus which is homologous to a peak Third Sky of Spirit Realm."
Leylin squinted his eyes, gazing attentively on that puppet.
'Leonidas Larrington's Dark Body, Is this like the White Bone Dharma clone of Demon King Apollyon? But the clone itself is a freaking Third sky of spirit realm, just how strong was the master himself? True God Realm, or maybe God King.... One cannot forgot that's it's been sealed for an unimaginable amount of time and it's still so intimidating. I even have a feeling that it's even more exquisite and mysterious than it already appears.'
"And... this is one of Bloodthirsty's Entourage of Eight, meaning there are seven more of these. And if this is just the Entourage, what is this Bloodthirsty? Their leader... This Grace Mainland just got more interesting." Leylin thought, and suddenly numerous beams of scarlet light radiated from the Blood Vein Ring, and all of them fell into the pupils of Leonidas Larrington Dark Body. The eyes of the puppet gradually become darker, just like the two dark suns that could absorb all light.
Eventually, the light from the Blood Vein Ring ceased.
A Soul Conscious Seal shot out from the Blood Vein Ring, darting to the host soul in his Sea of Consciousness.
The Imperial Soul Imprint.
