Chapter 424
"Imperial Soul Imprint..." Leylin closed his eyes and felt the connection so abruptly established between him and the puppet.
"A.I.Chip Scan the imprint and look for any hidden problems."
[Beep! Task Established! Soul Imprint embedded into the host's sea of consciousness! Ability to control the spirit of the target at will. This imprint had reached an agreement with Leonidas Larrington's Dark Clone body. The host can use the Blood Vein Ring to wield the power of the imprint. No hidden problems found.]
Leylin scratched his chin thoughtfully and his mind flickered, and the black iron puppet walked toward him. A malicious aura exuded from the puppet that brought a smile to his face.
Leylin used the imprint in his host soul, letting his mind sink into it and sending out messages.
As expected, the black iron puppet was changing its positions unceasingly according to his wishes.
"Pretty neat... I can even use the A. I. Chip to control it's motion more perfectly. If such a formidable force is used adequately it would only become more lethal and dangerous."
"War Devil!"
Just as Leylin was about to leave, the Ice Cold Flame sent him its thought from inside the Blood Vein Ring. It seemed to be frightened.
Leylin stopped his motion for a second, and immediately asked, "You know about this thing?"
"Yes, It's called a War Devil. These are puppets that were born for fighting, created by warriors of Antiquity Era. High-level War Devils can have the fighting imprint of their masters. That's how it could have its master's divine abilities. To refine a War Devil, it needs hundreds or even thousand years together with the consumption of endless resources of earth and firmament. It has to absorb the special energies from heaven and earth to be formed gradually. The aura on this War Devil is extraordinarily vicious. I think it has at least the power of Peak Spirit Realm."
"It has such a glorious background." Leylin looked at the War Devil with a hint of seriousness and surprise.
The Antiquity Era was the dawn of the warriors, which had the strongest warrior in the legends. They said that there were some peerless warriors, whose powers even surpassed the God King limit. They had intimidating powers, and their bodies could leave the Grace Mainland to travel the vast celestial area.
Leylin had some inkling about the origin of the Blood Vein Ring but now he's more and more intrigued. The Blood vein ring has a definite relationship with the War Devil, and the War Devil is a creation of Antiquity Era. With the renowned and transcendently impressive reputation of the warriors from that Era, it's probable that Blood Vein Ring may belong to a top level powerhouse.
If it belongs to someone above the God King realm, then according to Leylin's speculation of the power system of Grace Mainland. That person could likely be a Throne! A Monarch! Similar to a Breaking Dawn Magus.
"But there is also a chance that it might belong to an even more intimidating and surreal existence." Leylin thought as a deep frown appeared on his face. Although the Blood Vein Ring is akin to an outstanding artifact with innumerable benefits for Leylin, he still didn't want to get dragged into the calculations of a formidable being.
"*Sigh* Whatever, I am just merely at Morning Star Magus level even with all of my full power thinking about all this is no good. I should rather focus on what's before me. If someone what's to plot against me, it's not as if it's for the first time. He or she would also meet the same fate that all the others who tried before had."
Leylin curled his lips, looking at the puppet called War Devil.
Looking at the War Devil, Leylin found that the chaotic energies here were silently transmitted into the War Devil puppet.
All sorts of energies existing in the dragon's tomb had been attracted by the War Devil, and they were storming over, disappearing into the puppet's body. War Devil took them all. However, its aura wasn't increasing, but slowly retreating into its body.
From the imprint in his host soul, Leylin knew that the dark energy in the War Devil's heart had been increasing fast. But the War Devil was as if it were a profound warrior who knew how to hide his intimidating aura. The imposing pressure was slowly gone.
Leylin wasn't hurried, waiting for the War Devil to absorb the energy right inside the lofty dragon's skeleton.
"This is gonna cause a commotion, but with War Devil by my side I don't need to worry."
..
Outside the graveyard.
In a base of Silver Shark territory.
All of a sudden, Yashir Vikram who came to Silver Stone Fort just near the Ancient Lofty Dragon Graveyard to attend a congratulatory celebration for a warrior reaching Spirit Realm recognized some odd movement.
"What's happening?" Yashir was startled as he closed his eyes and felt the peculiarity more vividly.
Suddenly he opened his eyes with a shocking look.
"Ancient Lofty Dragon Graveyard! What's happening?" Yashir was alerted as he immediately moved towards the outskirts of Ancient Lofty Dragon Graveyard.
Thousands of years have passed by, and numerous hotshots of the Sea Tribes had intruded the place, but no one could come out alive. Yashir had also gone to look at the infamous place but didn't dare to intrude further than the outskirts, but now with such an anomaly he didn't have any option but to check it out.
All kinds of chaotic energies inside the graveyard were disappearing rapidly. Those kinds of evil and peculiar energies wandering for hundreds of years inside the lofty dragon's tomb had been changed.
This phenomenon had never happened before.
Yashir had been living for so many years undersea, but he had never heard about this strange phenomenon in the Antiquity Lofty Dragon Graveyard.
Agitation gradually grew in him.
....
From inside Ancient Lofty Dragon Graveyard
A few days had gone by.
A dark air current pervaded in the water, drifting quickly while emitting blisters everywhere. There was some kind of peculiar power inside those blisters.
In just a blink of an eye, several thousands of blisters appeared, then slowly gathered into a giant chunk of blister. However, that blister then disappeared into thin air as if some creature had devoured it.
A long while later, a silhouette emerged from the graveyard, calmly walking towards this direction. Behind him walked a three-meter-tall black iron puppet.
The hefty-built puppet was moving agilely, giving people a strange illusion of willow catkin.
One man and one black iron puppet were walking like that towards the person standing in front of the tomb.
"It's you!" Yashir's eyes brightened in shock.
Leylin strolled over, not intending to dodge. He came in front of them and then curled his lips. "Such a warm welcome."
"You are the cause of all this, little Alaister boy." Yashir's majestic body was shaken. Divine light shot out from his eyes as he was scrutinizing Leylin.
Leylin smiled, bent down to greet him, then said with manners. "Greetings, Lord Yashir Vikram."
"You entered and came back from the Antiquity Lofty Dragon Graveyard." Yashir beamed a forced smile. "I admit that I always looked down on you. But I can't imagine you could fulfill what the hotshots of the Sea Tribes couldn't do. You do have infinite potential."
Leylin smiled but didn't say anything.
Yashir then turned his attention towards War Devil with an odd contemplating look in his eyes.
After Leonidas Larrington's Dark Body had absorbed the chaotic energies inside the lofty dragon's tomb, it could hide its aura, completely concealing its crazy, ominous and imposing aura.
Yashir, who was at the Second Sky of Spirit Realm felt something odd about this dark figure and kept an eye on this War Devil black iron puppet.
The Soul Consciousness of the Second Sky of Spirit Realm warrior was released invisibly to peep on the mysterious features of the War Devil.
However, as soon as his Soul Consciousness got there, it was as if it had fallen into the vast sea, echoing nothing at all. It was like his Soul Consciousness had been drawn into a black hole.
The connection between him and the Soul Consciousness was also cut off, and he couldn't track it back.
Yashir's countenance changed quietly, as his mind was struck and tense.
Even Nate Barrington, who was at the Third Sky of Spirit Realm, couldn't devour his Soul Consciousness while leaving no trace like that.
What was that fearful black iron puppet?
Yashir was scared. He vaguely got something when eyeing Leylin.
The anomalous event that happened in the lofty dragon's graveyard was obviously related to this black iron puppet. Perhaps, what caused it was this puppet.
The more he thought about the matter, the more frightened he became when he looked at Leylin and the black iron puppet. Light flickered in his eyes as his heart was dreading.
One should definitely not provoke this kid!
Yashir had made up his mind that no matter what happened, he would not do anything that irritated him. At this moment, he knew his finding would change the future situation of the Endless Sea.
Leylin himself was scary enough. Now, from the lofty dragon's tomb, he got a black iron puppet, which was in defiance of the natural order. In the Endless Sea, who could go against him?
"The Antiquity Lofty Dragon Graveyard has always been the forbidden place on the ocean floor. Thousands of years have passed, and countless strong warriors have buried themselves there. No one was lucky enough to come back alive."
Suddenly Yashir eyes shone with radiant light. "Why could you survive that place and even bring out with you such an intimidating black iron puppet?"
Leylin wore a contemplating face before bursting out in laughter. He knew this cunning old folk had sensed something.
"Good fortune." Leylin didn't have any change in visage. "Fate brings fortune and fatality, sometimes it's not about what it is but rather who it is."
Yashir frowned, seriously considering the hidden meaning in his words.
Yashir mused for a while, then sighed. "Is it real destiny? The Antiquity Lofty Dragon Graveyard has buried many of my ancestors, but now its mystery's cracked by a human. Perhaps, you little fella have some connection with our Sea Tribes, eh?"
Leylin laughed, "Who knows..."
Leylin looked at Yashir with a contemplating look, just when Yashir was about to ask him anything more Leylin opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Yashir, do you know something about the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist?"
Yashir's face changed as he was amazed. A strange light flashed in his eyes and he nodded.
"Although I haven't been there myself, I have heard something about that place from our ancestors. Our Silver Shark Clan lives under the Vault of Heaven Sea Area, and that Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist is in the East of the Vault of Heaven Sea Area. Among the Sea Tribes, our Silver Shark Clan is nearest to that place. Some precursors of our clan had been there. Most of them got lost. Some of them returned but couldn't tell the details inside the area. Only one precursor had met a human being in there."
"Are you planning to go there? With your talent I am pretty sure you can make a name for yourself even there."
"Well, it's not that I am planning, I have already gone there once. "
"You have been there!?"
"Yes, that place deserves its reputation. Surely an eye opening adventure."
Yashir was once again shocked and looked at Leylin strangely, the more he got to observe him the more mysterious he seemed.
"The inside of the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist is very mysterious, for you to go and return safely is a testimony to your talent as well as your luck. As far as I've known, there are so many marvelous things in there… For instance, the Life Original Fluid?"
"It's seems Lord Yashir is quite knowing of these things." Leylin expression remained unchanged as if Yashir was talking about something completely foreign to him.
"Its a natural elixir which can give a Third Sky of Spirit Realm warriors a great chance to enter the True God Realm, reducing the possibility of failure and risks!" Yashir's eyes were brightened as he yelled, "I think any Spirit Realm warriors would never forget a special thing like the Life Original Fluid once they hear about it. If he got this thing, I think Nate would directly seclude himself to cultivate and try to break through the True God Realm. Haha. Too bad this thing could be only directly seen, and not be wished for. Nate knows that, but he doesn't dare to keep dreaming."
Leylin listened to him with a calm smile on his face.
"You've been in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist… Have you ever heard about this?" Yashir's eyes were as bright as the torch as he grinned, then said, "My precursor told us that the Life Original Fluid's somehow related to a level eight demonic beast. If I'm not wrong, that beast's a corpse-eating demonic insect, isn't it?"
Leylin's eyebrows arched slightly. He could see from a mile away what was Yashir's intention.
The Life Original Fluid!
To warriors at the Spirit Realm, if they knew about the Life Original Fluid, no one could press down their desire.
The Silver Shark Clan lived near the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist. Many precursors of the Silver Shark Clan had come there, so they must know about the Life Original Fluid.
Leylin had returned from the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, and he even had the King of Demonic Insects.
"I have it." Said Leylin.
Yashir was shaken and his eyes brightened.
Opposite to Yashir's imagination, Leylin didn't dodge the question nor lied but rather admitted his assumptions without any hesitation, as if he didn't care about any potential threat it may bring him.
But then again looking at the silent yet fearsome creature behind him, Yashir could guess where his confidence comes from.
"Do you really have it?" Yashir was also stirred up. He was at the Second Sky of Spirit Realm, and soon, he would reach Nate's realm. With a drop of the Life Original Fluid, he would have a more substantial chance to enter the True God Realm. Thinking about this temptation, he couldn't hold it.
The Spirit Realm warriors often would have lived for more than one hundred years. Usually, they shouldn't be stirred up that easily. However, the Life Original Fluid was a kind of treasure they had been yearning for so long. This made him unable to control his emotions.
"There's a reason for me to say so," Leylin smiled.
"Say it," Yashir knew that Leylin won't be giving anything for free hence he tried to press down his excitement and spoke up casually. "As long as it doesn't require me to betray the Sea Tribes, anything can be negotiated."
"Of course! A basis of transaction is equivalent exchange of benefits built on acceptance and mutual respect."
"It's nothing much, just a small transaction of benefits."
"Members of my family are still in the Demon Area. My Great Grandpa has broken through his confinement. Perhaps, even taking the Demon Area over with the absence of two Demon Kings and soon enough he would be back in the Endless Sea."
"What?"
Yashir stammered in fear.
The news about King Abaddon had been confined in Demon Area had soon spread over the Endless Sea, but the news of his escape was totally hidden. That's why some members of the Sea Tribes dared to plane their wild schemes on Barren City.
If they had known that Abaddon Alaister had escaped from the Demon King's confinement, they would have never conspired against Barren City.
As they heard the earth-shaking news from him, Yashir was frightened.
"Its an authentic news from a reliable source. If a world renowned Alchemist information channel isn't reliable then a very few things are" Leylin smiled, "Don't be startled. I think Lord Great Grandpa has something he's arranged for the Demon Area."
"Currently, Alaister family forces cannot be mobilized. Anyway, with the help from the Silver Shark Clan and possibly Nate Barrington, plus a few forces from the Endless Sea a lot can be done."
"Nate would definitely be interested in your offer but with just us, it would be difficult to change the complexion of the Endless Sea."
"Well let me elaborate, when I said a few forces I meant Lord Brian Omega and Charlotte Orpheus." Leylin explained to clear Yashir's doubt and glanced at the War Devil.
"With this to help, I am pretty sure our team could prove a worthy threat for even the two Demon Kings."
"Hahaha... Interesting! Although I don't know why you are so sure confident those two would help you but if they really do, I can assure you that even the two Demon Kings need to be wary of us."
"I even heard Lord Nate Barrington needs to refine a new treasure and wants an extremely powerful fire energy for that. I guess I can help him with that." Leylin thought for a second and flickered the scorching flames of Earth Core in the palm of his hands.
Yashir looked at him startled yet again, pretty much a staple feeling for him around Leylin.
"You are a very mysterious and resourceful young man."
"Thank you sir for your kind words."
'And scary too.'
