The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 602 - 260: Eyes of Netherworld_1

"Is it all Mr. Ye’s doing?"

Ye Liuying chewed on these words as his absent-minded gaze gradually cleared.

"One can imagine how surprised those clansmen must be."

"It’s more than surprise," Ye Hanjun laughed.

"The flames of jealousy are burning fiercely, which is only natural."

"Hmm." Ye Liuying tapped his chin with an index finger, a contemplative look in his eyes.

"Then tell me, should we make them suffer right away, or keep a low profile for a while, bide our time, and then give them an even bigger surprise?"

"Is there even anything to discuss?"

Ye Hanjun arched an eyebrow, having already made up his mind.

"If you return to the family now, at most you’ll gain a high-rank Death Servant and a large supply of heavenly treasures and earthly treasures."

"We have enough of those for the moment; it’s not that urgent."

"On the contrary, if you keep a low profile, you’ll have a chance to play the pig to eat the tiger during the dragon-hunting competition."

"By then, with both rank and combat achievements to your name, you might just overturn your long-standing label of weakness."

"That does sound good."

Ye Liuying fiddled with the fringe on his forehead.

"If I’m going to slap someone’s face, I might as well slap hard and thoroughly. That’s the most satisfying."

"I’m already looking forward to seeing those people’s disgraced faces..."

"Don’t get cocky."

Ye Hanjun gave him a sidelong glance, promptly throwing a bucket of cold water on him.

"Most of the other Young Kings have experienced Active Awakening."

"You’re short one Blood Covenant Contracted Spirit, and the Demon Heart Chrysanthemum is a Medicine Beast, with only the Stone Giant really being durable and tough."

"Underestimating me, are you?"

Unable to help it, Ye Liuying rolled his eyes.

"The Demon Heart Chrysanthemum rooting in the Stone Giant is like providing a continuous supply of Life Energy."

"The Stone Giant itself is a massive species with thick skin and immense strength; add an Enchantment of Dark Element, and it’s a one-punch defeat for the little guys!"

"Alright, alright, if you’re confident, then I won’t worry unnecessarily."

Ye Hanjun shrugged his shoulders, and with a thought, a pair of Black Feathers burst forth from his own shoulders.

"You should have received the inheritance message too. I can replicate your Authority; during the 5th Rank process, I hold the A-level ’Night Angel’ as well."

"I know, I know."

Ye Liuying looked him up and down, his face showing a peculiar exhilaration.

"Speaking of playing the pig to eat the tiger, where do I stand in comparison?"

"You currently possess both ’Demon Ruler’ and ’Night Angel’, both of which are first-tier, formidable Authorities in our family. That you haven’t exploded from the overload makes you quite the freak among freaks."

"That’s the special thing about the ’Protector.’"

Ye Hanjun revealed a mysterious smile.

"To be honest, I was a bit worried at first if I could replicate the Abilities of our own clan members."

"After an empirical test, I’ve put those worries to rest—it is indeed possible to coexist in one body."

"Whirl ~~"

Ye Hanjun flapped his wings, and a black whirlwind once again devoured all light.

That wasn’t all; the sky above the mountaintop suddenly darkened, plunging an area of twenty miles around it into an enforced night.

"Eh, your Law-Figure-World seems to have changed."

"It was ’Black Stars’ before; now it seems to have become ’Silent Night,’ which is getting more interesting."

Like a child with a new favorite toy, Ye Hanjun manipulated it over and over in fascination.

Ye Liuying blinked, and when he gently flapped his wings, the darkness he shrouded the area in expanded once again.

"One can only say, worthy of the ’Night Angel’."

"On the path to serving darkness, the Night Angel is without a doubt a top contender among sovereigns of darkness, far surpassing the ’Grand Dark Priest’."

Ye Hanjun sighed in reflection, and then activated The Darkest Abyss.

Although the ’Demon Ruler’ had not yet progressed to the 5th Rank, The Darkest Abyss was able to overlap with the two ’Silent Night’ realms.

This time, the dark domain didn’t expand any further.

But Ye Hanjun relaxed from head to toe, every pore opening up.

He didn’t need to breathe at all; the thick and pure Dark Power would rush into his limbs and bones.

"Swish—"

Ye Hanjun further activated the ’Eye of Absolute Darkness’.

Still no conflict, still capable of simultaneous activation!

And so, within the ultimate darkness, Ye Hanjun lost the concept of having a "body of flesh and blood."

He fully and completely melted into the night, and a mere flap of his wings could instantly transport him a kilometer away.

The entire process was unblocked and not even particularly tiring; it was as he pleased, wanton and free, freer than the birds in flight. Even the Mie Degree’s Virtual Pull Huazhu had to bow down to this feeling.

"I feel absolutely incredible!"

"The ’Demon Ruler’ ultimately leans towards ’Demon’, and its control over darkness isn’t as pure as that of the Night Angel of the same rank."

"I have a feeling that once my Demon Ruler takes another step up and firmly secures the 5th Rank,"

"combining all the Abilities, I might come close to the S-rank ’Eternal Night Angel’!"

"Just close, but not on par?"

Ye Liuying murmured within the darkness.

"Getting close is already quite an achievement; there’s no need to be overly greedy."

Ye Hanjun stopped flapping his wings and floated mid-air, his smile gentle and mirthful.

"However, I have more Contracted Fond Spirits, and the Night Angel also amplifies the Dark Element inherent in demons."

"With multiple layers of mutual augmentation, where the limits of combat strength go, I dare not jump to conclusions too hastily."

"That said, we complement each other."

Ye Liuying pondered and then answered his own question.

"It seems we should spend some time training the coordination between us."

"No problem."

Ye Hanjun treated darkness like light; within the scope covered by darkness, he could see clearly down to the tiniest speck of dust.

He snapped his fingers, but no sound came out.
