The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 582 - 253: The Sleeping Demon Underwater_2

"To satisfy it, at the very least, you have to be at the 6th Rank, maybe that could quench its murderous urge..."

"Your Highness!"

The Blood Moon Sky Wolf bared its teeth, spouting streams of scarlet light from its body:

"This is your territory. No creature living here could defy you!"

"This demonic snake did not drink the wine served in respect but shall drink the punitive wine; let Old Wolf suck dry its blood — given to Your Highness!!"

"Go, do not disappoint me."

Ye Hanjun, standing in the Wild Wind, spoke with his usual icy demeanour.

"Swoosh!!"

The Blood Moon Sky Wolf tread in the void, spewing the light of fierce blood, shattering the decaying water.

The Three-Headed Rotten Snake flew into a rage, the three snake heads entangled together, and a chilling green evil light shone from their six murderous pupils.

"Pfft!!"

Toxic fog obscured the sky, melting into the rain and falling down.

A layer of red light formed on the body of the Blood Moon Sky Wolf, sheltering it. It pushed forward, pressing and advancing closer.

"Tear!"

Sharp bloody claws sliced open a large wound.

The Three-Headed Rotten Snake, with its half-decayed body, and a pain threshold lesser than ordinary creatures, did not flinch from its injuries.

The snake and the wolf fought manically. In mere moments, the phenomena of sky collapsing, earth splitting, and the loss of light, took place.

"Screech! Screech!!"

The Skull-Breaking Fish ceased their mating dance, and fled in panic in all directions.

They weren’t on Wan Ming’s protection list. A mere strand of blood flame or decaying water sprayed on them would cause unbearable pain.

At that time, the blue-black river water was still overflowing.

Waves rushed one after another, and creatures continually climbed ashore.

Some intelligent ones, seeing the battle between the snake and the wolf, voluntarily retreated.

Some stupid and mindless ones moved near Yu Ruoxin and Ye Hanjun and, without any fear for their lives, wished to use their lives to shield their safety.

"Roar!!"

A Bone Dragon burst out of the water, its platinum-colored skeleton was dazzlingly refined.

Wan Ming’s expression slightly changed and he summoned all his remaining Contracted Spirits.

Diamondontus, Feathered Moth, Delicate Centipede — all of his Contracted Spirits were Small Achievements of the Unlimited Maturity Level, each with unique divine abilities.

"Your Highness, be careful."

"This Bone Dragon seems to be the Great Completion of the Unlimited Maturity Level, its danger level must surpass the Three-Headed Rotten Snake!"

Ye Hanjun nodded, already holding an extra life-saving instrument.

Ye Huan’s advice indeed had a reason. Three-star, four-star, five-star territories would not have inhabitants of the Unlimited Foetus Maturity Level.

In this ’Ghost Killing River region’, they had seen two such creatures as soon as they arrived. How many monsters are there under the water was still an unknown.

"Croak,Croak!"

GuaGua, perched on a head, watched in amazement.

Another dragon!

Pink Winged Dragon, Ice-Winged Dragon, both were weaker Dragonkind.

Shi Shou’s Ten-Handed Dream Demon was a special dragon species, and couldn’t be broadly classified.

But the ’Bone Dragon’ is different. It’s a well-known undead dragon species, Guagua had seen many descriptions of it in the fairy tale picture books he had read!

"In the Abyss, humans are a rare sight..."

"Judging by your black hair and black pupils, Old Dragon has a faint idea of your origin."

The soul fire of the Bone Dragon swayed slightly as it broke the cold silence:

"The original lords of this place were seven, and I am just one of them."

"Two of them were accused of killing individuals with black hair and black pupils like you and were wiped out overnight."

"All of their clansmen turned into skeletons, sinking into the water, their blue blood still flowing till now..."

During the remembrance, the Bone Dragon’s psychic aura began to feel increasingly gloomy, as if a fleeting fear flashed across it.

Ye Hanjun stayed silent, maintaining a posture of listening.

Seeing clan members like him from the Ye Clan, from the moment of their birth, an ancient curse is planted within them.

No matter the reason, as soon as they fall, the Elders of the clan shrine will definitely observe that the soul lamp has been extinguished, and the host is dead.

Depending on the distinction of the clan members of the Ye Clan, they would take different measures.

Even for those clan members who haven’t passed the trials, whose names have not been included in the genealogy, they will send members to investigate.

If they die unexpectedly, it’s simple, they only need to follow the normal procedures.

If they suffer persecution before death, even without a surname, the family would still take revenge for them.

Going further, if someone from the Ye Clan who exercises authority over the surname, dies in a foreign land.

The key person or object causing their death will be marked by the curse, and they would carry a heavy karma since then.

Just like the former two lords of the Ghost Killing River region.

They died in their territory, seemingly worthless and weak.

But the surname of the night should not be insulted, not flattening the Ghost Killing River region, and merely annihilating the attacking clans has already been a quite restrained result.

"Human, how about making a deal?"

"I don’t want to hurt you, and I don’t dare to."

"But living under someone else like this, losing my freedom, I can’t accept that either."

The soul fire of the Bone Dragon flamed violently, and the strength of its psychic aura gradually increased:

"If ... you can provide me with high-quality dragon bones to help me advance to the next major stage, I am willing to fight for you."

"And if I say no?"

Ye Hanjun laughed lightly, "Above the Unlimited Foetus Maturity level, lies the ’Shining World Foetus’."

"Do you think it’s easy to advance to this rank?"

"Offering such conditions, isn’t this being overly greedy?"

Ye Hanjun said indifferently:

"Now, you only have two choices."

"One, help me conquer the territory that should belong to me, mercilessly kill those who do not submit."

"Two, you leave the territory yourself. If I see you one more time, you’re a dead man."

"Human! You’re going too far!"

The ghostly green soul flame suddenly exploded.
