Chapter 692: Chapter 686: Bloodline Ancestor
David Jones was not a rash person, and at the instant the teacher spoke, he retracted his gaze.
“Calamity corpse?”
If he remembered correctly, a Calamity-level mysterious creature was equivalent to a Semi-Fiend Mysterious Beast, and even Mother Scarlet, who had the power to destroy the Origin Dynasty, was merely of this level.
If such an existence had a corpse left, wouldn’t it be possible for it to resurrect at any time!
David Jones’s heart chilled, and his scalp tingled.
At this moment, it wasn’t just David Jones; even Lilith Hoyle was plunged into a state of shock.
Rosalind Louise had informed her early on about Immortal Goldsmith’s act of killing the Seven Definite Dead Demon and leaving behind a monument, but she had never imagined that besides the mystified Dragon of the End, Immortal Goldsmith had left behind such a big mess.
Confronting a Semi-Fiend head-on, who could withstand such a sudden scare!
Truth be told, the moment she saw the demon body of the Seven Definite Dead Demon, Lilith Hoyle had thoughts of fleeing the Demise Relic flash through her mind.
It was only because the demon body of the Semi-Fiend had shown no signs of resurrection that she suppressed her impulsive thoughts.
After all, if the Seven Definite Dead Demon hadn’t resurrected that was fine, but if it did resurrect successfully, it would be too late for her to run away.
“Thump thump thump!”
The intense sound of a beating heart drew Lilith Hoyle’s attention, and with a slight frown, she looked towards the one nestled in David Jones’s arms.
At this moment, Daphne lay collapsed on the ground, her heart beating rapidly, her eyes reflecting complex emotions.
If she hadn’t sensed it incorrectly, a small part of the bloodline in her own body came from the distant Calamity Mystery.
In other words, it was very likely that the other was an ancestor of hers, and could it be that the Titanium Ragdoll clan was but a remnant left by the Seven Definite Dead Demon?
Daphne shook her head and hastily squelched the increasingly preposterous speculations in her mind.
She was not some Mysterious Deity’s leftover offspring; she was just an ordinary Titanium Ragdoll, that’s all!
“Buzz!”
Just as Daphne confirmed her own identity, the Wheel of Destiny within her began to turn.
“Meow!” (The Trial of Fate has begun!)
Daphne looked nervously at David Jones.
“What?” David Jones paused for a moment, for the Trial of Fate had already started, hadn’t it? Wait, Daphne couldn’t possibly be referring to that.
David Jones swallowed hard and asked with his mind: “Are you talking about removing filth?”
“Meow.” (Yes.)
Daphne, trembling, nodded her head.
Intuition told her that if she could complete a Calamity-level Trial of Removing Filth just once, her strength would surge by a large class at least.
If she could go a step further and complete a Trial of Removing Filth in a Calamity level forbidden zone, perhaps she could ascend to the heavens in a single step, instantly entering the realm of Class VIII Imperial.
Of course, more than a breakthrough in strength, Daphne hoped that nothing would go wrong during this Relic exploration.
Merely perceiving the faint aura emitted by the Seven Definite Dead Demon filled her with an overwhelming feeling of despair.
Sensing what Daphne was thinking, David Jones’s face showed a trace of complexity.
Considering that even the Origin Dynasty led by the Origin Emperor had been destroyed by Mother Scarlet, one could only imagine how terrifying a Semi-Fiend might be.
With Daphne’s current strength, the Destiny Flame she could release might be capable of scorching a Calamity, that is, the flesh of an Imperial-class Mysterious Beast, but it definitely could not harm a Calamity-level Semi-Fiend, even if the Seven Definite Dead Demon’s demonic body lacked consciousness.
Let the Trial of Removing Filth shine brightly if it must; David Jones always believed in dragging things out.
“Hold your breath and calm your mind, don’t be too tense, if this demonic body had consciousness, it would have already broken through the seal,” Lilith Hoyle said, reminding everyone before her eyes turned toward the stele on the right side of the Seven Definite Dead Demon.
The relieved David Jones also stimulated his Illusion-Piercing Eye to look toward the black stele.
[A just-resurrected Seven Definite Dead Demon was able to severely wound a Class IX Immortal with an instant, but in the end, it still fell to my hand…]
[I don’t believe in beings that are truly immortal and indestructible, not even Demon Gods!]
[The ancients could use the Calamity-level forbidden zone to seal Demon Gods, and I could also use Immortal Power to bury the Seven Definite Dead Demon right here!]
[I’ve succeeded, yet one could also say I’ve failed. At the moment the Dragon of the End fully awakens, the will of the Seven Definite Dead Demon will descend upon this world!]
[Descendants, remember only those with the Pure Blood of Doom within them can open the Path of Purgatory and see this monument.
Beware, if the demon suppressing monument is red, it means that the will of the Dead Demon has been extinguished, and my achievements have surpassed the Origin Emperor. But if the demon suppressing monument is black, it means that the will of the Dead Demon has not been completely annihilated. You must use the Pure Blood of Doom as a guide to engrave the Core Circle Map of the Six Paths Dragon Locking Circle on the forehead of the Dragon of the End to strengthen the seal, left by Behemoth Goldsmith.]
Looking at the entirely black demon suppressing monument, David Jones’s recently calmed heart once again rose with trepidation.
“Very well, no wonder the old geezers of Peony Colledge were willing to give up the Circle Map of the Six Paths Dragon Locking Circle; they had this trick up their sleeves,” Lilith Hoyle instantly understood the cause and effect of the Demise Relic.
The stele that sealed the Dragon of the End had deliberately concealed the information about the Semi-Fiend, while the true information was inscribed on the hidden demon suppressing monument here.
She, Lilith Hoyle, was being used by Peony Colledge as a tool to repair the seal!
Being a tool was one thing, after all, eliminating demons and guarding the great path was the sacred duty of the holy land, but where was the promised reward? Where was the Immortal Golden Elixir hidden within the Relic?
“Boom!”
At that moment, a terrifying situation emerged.
In David Jones’s shocked gaze, the withered demonic body of the Seven Definite Dead Demon seemed to acquire its own consciousness, as flesh began to rapidly grow over its form.
The hard-accumulated flesh of the Dragon Body even spread across the towering demon suppressing monument, intent on slaughtering all who came near.
“Solar Sky,” Lilith Hoyle stated coldly.
She feared the resurrected Seven Definite Dead Demon, but that did not mean she would be afraid of the now separated will and weak demonic body whose strength had greatly diminished.
“Krill!” The Three-legged Raven cried out sharply, its body transforming into the invincible Solar Sky that shone across time.
“Boom!”
Countless divine birds descended, as if signaling the end of the world, the terrifying brilliance and true flame of the solar light arrived in an instant, the scorching light rapidly traversing the demonic body of the Seven Definite Dead Demon, annihilating everything touched by the solar flame with the speed of flashes of lightning.
“Sizzle sizzle sizzle!” The sound of burning fat crazily erupted.
The sky-full of blood and flesh that had obstructed David Jones’s view turned black and withered in the blink of an eye, and as the solar light gradually faded, the world before them returned to normal.
That monstrous beast, pulsating with flesh, stood there as if it was a Demon God that existed since ancient times, emitting an extraordinarily sinister aura.
“Let’s go, there is nothing here but the filth of the Demon God,” Lilith Hoyle said, deeply disappointed.
She didn’t understand why Peony Colledge, knowing that the Relic sealed a terrifying Semi-Fiend, didn’t report it to the Federation of Trainer Guild, to classify this place as a Calamity-level forbidden zone and dispatch the Five Elements Army to suppress it.
If an Evil Trainer were to break into this place, causing the Seven Definite Dead Demon within the Relic to escape the seal, it could turn the entire Flowery Kingdom upside down. Such dire consequences were something she believed the higher-ups of Peony Colledge must be aware of, unless there was some compelling reason!
With that thought, a shadow of doubt appeared in Lilith Hoyle’s eyes.
