Cursed Immortality

Chapter 594 A Blessing in Disguise

”Is it completely destroyed?” Mathias asked. He narrowed his eyes in scrutiny as they shimmered in violet light. Despite the radiation mist, he could still see a little bit of the outline of his surroundings because of his power.

Ryanʼs expression was solemn, ”There is nothing but water; if itʼs really destroyed, then that explosion really exploded quite closer to the territoryʼs heart. But I still think itʼs impossible to completely destroy the heart since itʼs connected with the Dead Emperor Shrine Mountain.

”That mountain is the Dead Factionʼs legacy treasure that they had refined using many precious materials and a lot of time, and itʼs connected with the territoryʼs main island, the heart. Just like the legacy treasures in our factionsʼ possessions as the last line of defense against complete eradication, itʼs almost impossible to destroy it with just a bomb unless it is far above the legacy treasureʼs rank.

”Still, wounding it would be very beneficial for us, and it would decrease Necroʼs absolute dominance in his territory by half. Whoever did this was really malicious.” He stated with a hint of apprehension in his voice.

This kind of bomb was unheard of, and if someone could have more than one, and they were all launched in their territories without them realizing it, it would spell disaster for them.

They came here not only just to scout the Dead Factionʼs current condition but also to find clues about the weapon that had been used. As for suspecting Captain Free Sword behind this attack, although they had their suspicions, they didnʼt fully believe it.

If Captain Free Sword really had such a weapon, he couldʼve easily threatened them all when he was being chased and could even launch one or two to show them his might.

But he was chased like a dog and even almost died, and he never revealed it, so they didnʼt believe that he had it.

Furthermore, they never thought that this weapon was made by someone because its power was simply too terrifying, and they all thought that someone had acquired it from some mysterious ruins or a no-return zone.

The star ocean was almost infinitely large, and even these factions who had ruled the unique plains for who knows how long canʼt say they had completely explored the star ocean. The further one goes, the more dangerous it is, especially the path of the higher-level plains; it is a path of certain death!

But by any chance it was really Captain Free Sword, then by blasting this bomb, he wouldʼve certainly died as well, which would be very bad news for everyone, especially these leaders who wanted to go to higher plains and advance so they could prolong their lives.

It was fine if they didnʼt have hope, but the thing was, the Path of Legend was far more than just hope, so they were all extremely unwilling to give up on it, and thatʼs why they were doing everything in their power to at least get Captain Free Swordʼs belongings. All they wanted was the key that could change their fates!

At this moment, in the dead silence of the radiation mist, they suddenly spotted a faint crimson glow like a lighthouse.

”Itʼs the Dead Emperor Shrine Mountain direction!” Ryan narrowed his eyes sternly.

”So, that bastard is still not dead. Letʼs see his miserable state. If he is at his last breath, Iʼll gladly put him out of his misery.” Killing intent burst in Mathiasʼs eyes.

As they moved forward, Ryan was paying attention to his surroundings and his expression changed slightly at this moment, ”There is ground below us. It didnʼt destroy the heart completely!”

”So, what?” Mathias jeered, ”The legacy treasures are connected with territoriesʼ hearts, which means the damage to the territoryʼs heart would also damage the treasure. I donʼt believe that bastard managed to get out of it unscratched!”

They silently continued forward and finally reached the light, where they could finally see the silhouettes of the towering mountain.

At this moment, the silent Cayson finally spoke with squinted eyes, ”I can sense there is something strange happening at the Dead Emperor Shrine Mountainʼs peak. The mist in the air seemed to be drawing into it. Whatʼs going on?”

No one answers him since no one knows the answer to this question themselves. As peak figures of the unique plains, they can also sense the strange fluctuation emitting from the light.

Just as they were a hundred meters away from the Dead Emperor Shrine Mountain, a sinister voice reverberated in the air filled with icy ridicule, ”Oh, you guys came sooner than Iʼd anticipated!”

Mathias eyes flashed with hatred as he couldnʼt forget this voice, ”Bastard Necro!” He gritted his teeth, saying his most hated enemyʼs name. He had lost many trusted generals and his brethren to this voice, and it was etched to his very soul.

”So, youʼre not dead, huh?” Ryanʼs expression also fell as he coldly said, ”Tell me, did you manage to get the key? If you still remain stubborn, we donʼt mind finishing you off.”

”Hahahaha…” Necro suddenly burst into maniacal laughter as his voice was filled with derision and a hint of chilly killing intent, ”Finish me off? Are you worthy?”

At this moment, the crimson light suddenly intensified, and the whole mountain suddenly turned crimson like blood, and a bone-chilling aura filled with air. With it, a mountainous pressure descended.

”T-this aura… this power…” Caysonʼs peaceful expression broke into an appalled look as he couldnʼt calm down when he felt that suffocating aura.

Even Ryan and Mathiasʼs expression took a full turn, and they became bewildered and appeared utterly disbelief as if they had just seen a ghost.

”Hahahaha…” Necro continued to laugh wantonly with dark relish as if he could see their expressions.

At this moment, a gigantic black phantom around thirty meters in size loomed over the flying boat; his eyes were burning with gray flames, and the aura it was giving off was hundreds of times stronger than the initial aura.

The dark phantom finally opened its maw, and it was filled with sharp crimson teeth, ”I admit that Iʼve underestimated that scoundrel, and he destroyed almost half of my empire. But it appeared the Dead God had given its blessing amid the disaster.

”Who couldʼve thought that this mist could help the Dead Emperor Shrine Mountain evolve above the Inception Legend Realm and become a Quasi Legend Treasure?

”As for why Iʼm telling you this, itʼs simple: since the Dead Emperor Shrine Mountain is a Quasi Legend Treasure, Iʼll follow suit very soon. You should all wash your necks and wait for the Empire of Dead to start its Conquest of Death!”

Just as his eerie, magical voice trailed off, the phantom suddenly released pitch-black ethereal energy, and like a storm, it brushed past the flying ship.

When it disappeared, the ship and three soul puppets were completely gone, turned into oblivion.

”Captain Free Sword, if I donʼt torture you for eternity, I wonʼt be the follower of Dead God!”

Necroʼs hate-filled voice faded as everything turned to normal while the radiation mist began to pour within the dark cave at the mountain summit, creating a vortex!
