Chapter 1445: Chapter 1445
Under the invasion of the Divine Ashes, Sir Owen felt as if he had transformed into an ancient and rigid deity, a strange amalgamation of a multi-legged stool and a stone-carved wolf head. In a trance, he drifted around the Tail Demise Palace, accompanied by the deities.
Sir Owen strived to maintain his self-awareness. The Ancient Lamp Artifact in his forehead stood firm, resisting the invasion of the Divine Ashes. It kept the spirit light of Sir Owen bright but lacked the strength to completely eradicate the invasion of the Divine Ashes. The delicate balance was nothing short of remarkable.
Sir Owen worked hard to understand the operating rule of the Tail Demise Palace. Initially, everything seemed chaotic, but Sir Owen did not get discouraged, even when it was evident that the Ancient Lamp Artifact was gradually unable to resist the penetration of the Divine Ashes. He remained calm and composed.
Owen Bertram had only been slightly contaminated by the Divine Ashes, but their power seemed to communicate with each other. The Divine Ashes under the low wall were continuously sending their invading power.
"Don’t panic, stay calm!" Finally, Sir Owen seemed to grasp a hint of the key, although there was still a long way to go before he could fully master all the operating rules.
The flame of the Ancient Lamp Artifact flickered unstably, hinting at a dangerous point where it could be extinguished at any time!
The National Master stayed beside Sir Owen, but she felt that the penetration on him was getting stronger and was starting to radiate from him. She persisted for a moment, then had to step back, and then stepped back again... Suddenly, the National Master felt an overwhelming terror engulf her. Looking around, she was in complete darkness. Countless strange eyes opened and closed in the far distance. A floating "rope" dropped from an unknown location, oscillating with an eye that rolled up and down, resembling liquid mercury!
The National Master frowned. She seemed to have seen an illusion when the space-time changed: James! He had indeed mastered this place and had discovered us. He was controlling the Tail Demise Palace to kill us!
The swinging "rope" formed a loop and lunged towards the National Master’s neck - she found that all her skills could not be used in this "Divine Temple".
"It’s those distant eyes!" The National Master understood. As these eyes opened and closed, an indescribable force was released. Her cultivation and Magical Instruments were suppressed. The National Master sneered, her sleeves opened, and the Divine Beast Xuanwu stepped out. Suddenly, it became incredibly gigantic, and a high-status power was defying all around.
The "rope" whipped the Xuanwu, but was thrown back immediately.
The National Master breathed a sigh of relief, but right after that, she saw an illusion flashed by. James appeared in the distance. Using some method, he introduced a series of "deity statues". The pressure on the Divine Beast Xuanwu increased tremendously. Eventually, when there were ten deity statues, the Divine Beast Xuanwu was forced to step back!
"Quick, let’s go!" Xuanwu told the National Master. She mounted on the back of Xuanwu, which continued moving. They escaped from the peculiar Divine Temple space only to find that they had entered another Divine Temple!
Ghostly flames were hovering upwards. Each of the four directions was guarded by four enormous totem pillars. Xuanwu growled: "This is bad! This Divine Palace might have indeed fallen from the Heaven Realm, and its rank is on par with mine. I can’t break out simply by existing at my current rank!"
Behind the National Master, a "rope" was creeping forward, about to wind around her neck like a tentacle. More deity statues were ushered in.
Xuanwu noticed the four totem pillars started to contract, confining him in the center. Under the weight of the deity statues, the movement of the Xuanwu became slowly constrained. The rope had already tightened around the National Master’s neck and was continuously tightening! The National Master’s vision started to blur...
A dagger suddenly appeared out of thin air, cutting off the "rope". Following that, the entire body of Sir Owen emerged through the dagger.
There was no trace of Divine Ash contamination on him. He looked at the National Master and exhaled: "Fortunately, we made it in time."
