The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 995 - 390: Wheel of Deep Red, Descend!_3

Yishuo gasped, his eyes glazed with endless panic:

"We almost got wiped out... "

"Half-Step Deity... this is a being comparable to Queen Jueying and under Venerable Tianjing... "

"You and I are the same, we almost died here, and you ask me to stay calm... That’s impossible! I can’t do it! I can’t!!"

Yishuo, as if mad, tried to push Ling Yu away, but her palm seemed welded there, immovable.

"This matter is very peculiar, I support cautious action."

Huang Baishan examined the burn marks on his chest, his usual arrogance nowhere to be seen.

"I have a feeling, if we carelessly let the events here be known, we will turn to ashes under the blazing fire."

"Really, you feel it too?"

With her eyes twitching wildly, Ling Yu released Yishuo’s shoulder and touched her heart, shivering as she said:

"Just at one glance, we were cursed."

"The Hanba didn’t just let us off simply, to completely escape danger, we probably need to follow his way... "

"This is odd, the Hanba Clan mainly practices body cultivation and plundering, with origins in ’Underworld,’ similar in display to ’Desolation.’

"That dark blue skin is definitely pureblood, it can’t be a mutation... "

"How could he cast such a peculiar curse, implanting an unnoticeable seed of fire within our bodies, ready to explode at the slightest mistake?"

Shu Jie muttered to himself, his face filled with confusion.

Ling Yu pursed her lips, exhaled a hot breath, then furrowed her brows, half guessing, half speculating:

"A fleeting glimpse, I can’t be sure."

"But that deep red wheel behind the Hanba might not be just a display of skills, but... a living being."

"What a joke?!"

Yishuo, still not overcoming his fear, was utterly dismissive:

"Are you implying that Mang Hao, Grey, and the Corpse Dragon Lady’s disappearances are unrelated to the Hanba, and it’s actually that wheel messing with us?"

"This possibility is very significant!"

On any normal day, Ling Yu would have already put on a stern face, showing a cold demeanor.

At this moment, she didn’t mind others’ attitudes, pondering repeatedly:

"I have reason to suspect... it is a Holy Spirit that controls the Space Law."

"Its form is indeed strange, it could be a Beast Soldier or perhaps another type, just disguised as a wheel."

"But there’s another possibility, just emerging in my mind, making my whole body tremble..."

"You all are saints of various clans, bearing the responsibility for the prosperity and continuation of your clans, you should have some understanding."

"In All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, there is a kind of being that only manifests in the shape of a wheel, self-concentrating its life force... "

"You... you mean... "

Shu Jie swallowed twice, but it couldn’t stop his lips from drying:

"The rarest, the most uncommon..."

"The slowest to grow, but the Boundary Beast or the Fond Spirit of Boundary is most likely to prove and achieve Divine Enthronement?"

"Exactly!"

Ling Yu nodded, then showed a puzzled expression, muttering to herself:

"But the ancient texts mention that once the Fond Spirit of Boundary is nurtured into form, it can only stay in its birthplace and cannot move at all..."

"Their bodies are huge, not even The Fetus of God Sealing could possibly carry them..."

"Humans also couldn’t possibly sign a contract with them, as the legends say signing ’Boundary’ requires the loss of all Contract Imprints, with additional various costs; no one has succeeded."

"The only result this leads to one thing, ’Boundary’ is very precious and also very rare."

"But each one of them is almost detached from the mundane, except for the beings that they recognize, who might become friends or guests, others can’t even get close to them..."

"Ahhh! What on earth is going on here?!"

Nie Qiubai scratched his head and gnashed his teeth, interrupting:

"I regret coming here, encountering such things was not my intention! It’s hard to accept!"

"And then there’s the Hanba Clan, to be honest, my understanding of this clan is quite one-sided!"

"All the historical records mention that they were incomparably glorious in the Ancient Era, the highest and mightiest super-clan!"

"But they completely disappeared after the last Broken Era Calamity, and the entire Near Ancient Era along with the first epoch of the New Era, the Solar Abyss was dead and desolate, as if they all had perished... What secrets are hidden in between? Are we qualified to delve into this?"

Nie Qiubai asked several questions, making everyone present feel uneasy.

When it comes to one of the undeniably strongest in Divine Enthronement, every Crown Rank must be extremely cautious.

What are these Saints and Holy Beasts considered to be?

Just like when Hanba recently revealed their whereabouts, did they have a chance to resist?

Just needing a single finger to crush them, unable to escape, life and death entirely dependent on the other’s mood, does such an experience not leave a lifelong trauma?

"Don’t panic yet, we all are notable figures, even if we can’t reveal what happened here for a short time, as time slightly passes, it definitely won’t remain hidden."

Shu Jie thought for a moment, then said to reassure:

"Look, most of those burnt to death by the fierce flames are low-rank servants."

"The really important characters, Hanba spared, showing he has concerns too."

"I personally guess, maybe it’s the disaster brought by the Dragon Corpse women, they and Hanba both belong to the Divine Trace Lineage and are both from the Corpse Race, very close in every aspect."

"Their bloodline might serve as nourishment for Hanba, becoming their sustenance?"

"Thinking this way, we were just caught in an undeserved disaster."

"Mang Hao and that guy in gray are facing even more painful despair than us, wanting to escape from that clan’s clutches is extremely difficult..."

"Why bother with them?"

Guan Cunyan felt unhappy, he couldn’t help but sigh:

"They are descendants of the Divine Clan, they’ve enjoyed better things from the start, if this is a calamity destined for them, they should be the ones to overcome it!"

"Moreover, the heirs of their families have been kidnapped, with their lives hanging by a thread, won’t their family members be worried? Once the top powerhouses clash, us little fish will have a chance to survive! Don’t you understand this logic?"
